Slipknot

Past Slipknot Talk

If we could find sources the list of tours would be cool to do, but like you said, their earilier stuff might not be avalible on the internet. If nothing else we could just do what we do have sources for and see if its enough to get an article out of. Since Slipknot doesn't have line-up changes like NIN we'd probably have to figure out some new way to make it look cool (breaking new ground once again, WHOO). We could also probably find enough to get a single up to GA, All Hope Is Gone (song) and Psychosocial (song) probably have enough on the internet to get decent length out of. I don't know if you've seen Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Slipknot Demo yet, it hasn't attracted much attention. And as seen on that page, Slipknot now has their own wiki; I've personally never paid much attention to other Wikis and would much rather spend time working on stuff here, but may we could copy some articles here over there. Blackngold29 15:02, 8 October 2008 (UTC) It could probably still be argued that there is a lack of third party coverage, however, I think we could put together a reception section from the reviews of AHIG. That would not only be third party, but give the article more length. I wonder why they're waiting until December, but atlease we get to see the video in a few hours. Blackngold29 15:11, 10 October 2008 (UTC) How does the reception for the album look? It's certainly the most reviewed album so far. I question the reliability of Buzznet, while it does have a good review, the site seems blog-like; what do you think? I'll write something up, but just wanted to make sure it's legit. It can't be worse than the guy from The Quietus who stated that the members are in their 40's and "can’t stand each other"; despite the fact that neither one of those statements are factually accurate at all. Anyway, if it's good then you can put it in the article, the "IGN" cite will work. Blackngold29 16:23, 10 October 2008 (UTC) Yeah, usually we do a positivie and negative paragraph, but there wasn't much negative stuff this time around! I have to go to class for an hour or two now, but will re-order it as soon as I can. Later dude. Blackngold29 16:47, 10 October 2008 (UTC) I played around with the order some, trying to figure out a good order. I basicially made the first paragraph about the overall album and the second about individual songs; though the overlap some. It also kind of incorporates what you said about the "melody" and "heaviness" as most individual track reviews talked about them being heavy or experimental, etc. I think the "flow" could still be improved on a bit, but there's only so many ways to say "Mr. X of magazine Y said THAT about AHIG." Like I said, it can still be improved, but I think its good enough to go to the article; maybe we could get Gary King or someone to look at it at some point. Blackngold29 21:46, 11 October 2008 (UTC) We should probably both give it a read through or two, and then ask Gary to do the same, and then we could probably nominate it. I'm currently under review on PNC Park for an FA, so I don't think I can be a "nominator" until that's finished up. But I'm pretty sure I could still help with the fixes. I don't want to rush into anything, especially for an FA (I don't wanna have to nom it over and over like 9.0), so the PNC Park FAC might be done before we nominate AHIG, but we'll see. First thing first, we should both read the article as cautiously as possible... you know the drill. Blackngold29 15:59, 12 October 2008 (UTC) I wouldn't include the Mayhem Fest because it has its own article, but it should be mentioned in the lead. I've usually found Opium pretty reliable, I could look for some sources soon as I have a database through school that can search newspaper articles from all around the US and it can ususally turn up some pretty obscure stuff. If that fails, we could e-mail the guy who runs it, he's good about replying. As for the genre thing, we might as well start with MFKR or Slipknot and go through in order; if you want to do the first one and I could do the next, etc. I guess just look what each review classifies them as and list them. Like: Nu metal Rolling Stone (link) EW (link) Heavy metal Tune lab (link) Unless you figure out something cooler, I think that'll be OK. Blackngold29 12:44, 21 October 2008 (UTC) Yeah, that'd be fine. They were the headliner or atleast the "main attraction" for Mayhem, weren't they? You could add a "See also..." to the section. I went through and did the genre things on the talk pages, most sites were broader categories than I thought. We could probably just say "Heavy metal, Alt. metal" on most of them because nobody even mentioned "Nu metal". Since nobody else has come up with conflicting sources we could probably add those soon with a hidden message before an after (like that'll stop them) like usual. Blackngold29 18:14, 23 October 2008 (UTC) The four studio albums now have genres per their talk pages. I think it would be fair to warn anyone who changes it two or more times for WP:OWN. What do you think about the main band article? Blackngold29 03:43, 28 October 2008 (UTC) I'll check out all of those articles when I get a chance. My semester ends next Friday, so I should have some time after that. Most of them are atleast solid starts, keep it up. Blackngold29 00:39, 3 December 2008 (UTC) I have no problem adding the article to the project, but I don't think it would be too high on the priority list. I don't really see myself working on it anytime soon, but it might be a nice change of pace at some point. I was thinking about writing a breif prose section about Joey's drums (see the "Drums" section on the talk page) and then re-nomming it for a GA; I know there were sources in there at one point, do you have any? Blackngold29 19:13, 5 December 2008 (UTC) Sweet! That sounds pretty fucking awesome, can't wait to see the pics. blackngold29 15:12, 14 December 2008 (UTC) Those are pretty cool, are you gonna get Joey's autograph tatooed onto your arm too? blackngold29 22:47, 15 December 2008 (UTC) Cool. Sounds good. blackngold29 17:18, 6 January 2009 (UTC) AHIG FAC push I haven't read any of the big sections closely yet, but here are my initial reactions. It would probably be easier if you just reply here and we can keep everything on one page. I should be able to do more reading over the next few days. Blackngold29 19:00, 12 October 2008 (UTC) The lead will probably need expanded to three paragraphs. I could work on it if you want. Yeah you do that lol. REZTER TALK ø 11:48, 13 October 2008 (UTC) Infobox: Per Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums #Chronology, live albums aren’t usually included, but it’s not required. I’ll leave it up to you, I don’t care either way. I don't care really, just leave it and see if it comes up in the FAC. REZTER TALK ø 11:48, 13 October 2008 (UTC) The FA reviewers have become more picky about non-free images, so I’m sure we can use the album cover, but the Crahan one and the first teaser poster might have to go. We have plenty live pictures that are free, so maybe we could keep the same number of pictures, just say “Crahan did this during recording” or something to that effect. I like both images, but I can understand the whole “puropose of WP is to be a free encyclopedia” explanation. I was thinking about changing the image to him drumming or something, because I made a point about the guys writing separately in the Recording and production section. I can't really do that though because these computers don't have any software that I can capture the DVD with. Would you be able to do that at all? REZTER TALK ø 11:48, 13 October 2008 (UTC) Chart positions: We usually listed the English speaking countries first, but I don’t think that’s a “rule” per say. I like the alphabetical order better. We could make it sortable, see LAX (album) That's pretty cool.. done. REZTER TALK ø 11:48, 13 October 2008 (UTC) Personnel: I think we should link Sid to Turntablism Bonus DVD: Is there a better way to describe “Instrumental effects and garbled music”? A more reliable source than amazon.com would also be good. I removed it really because it's kind of pointless, I reworded it and sourced the dvd itself. REZTER TALK ø 11:48, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

I was kind of weird writing that, having never heard the album, but after reading those reviews I'll pick it up if I ever see it. There are a few more good bits in the NY Times article that could probably fit in the History section, with many Crahan quotes. Hope that helps! blackngold29 20:21, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Not doing too much now, I'll help out if you want to pick something. Joey Jordison is still pretty close to a GA although his equiptment needs cited or removed. There was some discussion on the talk page, but nobody ever did anything. blackngold29 14:20, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Dude, check this out. We could write an actual Slipknot book; how sweet would that be! blackngold29 14:51, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

More chart positions for AHIG

I was wondering if these chart positions are also worth adding: [1] [2] [3] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Torque3000 (talk • contribs) 12:26, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Those charts have been used in the Death Magnetic article though. Torque3000 (^talk) 12:10, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Gary King (talk) 19:34, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

I've put them up and explained the situation in the nomination line at WP:GAN. Hopefully that clears up any issues that were brought in the many processes that the articles have appeared in. Both articles should be able to get GA; they have all the information that is available, and they are certainly longer than some existing GAs. Gary King (talk) 16:25, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:Crahan All Hope Is Gone DVD.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Crahan All Hope Is Gone DVD.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 13:47, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Image:Crahan All Hope Is Gone DVD.jpg

Hey man, just wanted to know how it fails that policy when I have explained in the fair-use rationale how I believe it passes that. So to quote myself; "The photo is being used solely for informational purposes and its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because the photo and its historical significance are the object of discussion in the article." The photo does increase the readers understanding of the topic because it shows one of the band members working on it. REZTER ^TALK ø 14:00, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Same again... to quote myself: "The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it served as a promotional image. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone." The image is used to visually identify the masks they used during their promotion. Also, see the replaceable? section of the image. REZTER ^TALK ø 14:03, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

While I'm happy to answer questions, it looks like your question could have been answered and resolved more quickly if you had used my message wizard. It's linked as "Talk" after my name and at the top of my talk page. Why not try it next time?

While you have written that, it is my case that neither image actually contributes to readers' understanding of the article. They are used only to decorate and as well they are replaceable by a textual description of the content of the image.

You have several options on where to go forward from here:

1. If you agree with my explanation why the images are not usable on Wikipedia, you may tag them as {{db-g7}} and they will be deleted shortly.
2. If you would like one other administrator to adjudicate whether the images are usable on Wikipedia or not, do nothing. In approximately a week, a neutral administrator will decide whether or not to delete the image or remove the tag.
3. If you still feel that the images meet all the criteria at WP:NFCC, you may remove the deletion tags from the images. However, I will then nominate them for consideration of deletion by the community at WP:IFD.

If you require further information on image copyright, please see [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Stifle (talk) 14:14, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

DYK for To My Surprise (album)

On January 19, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article To My Surprise (album), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Rollback

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 19:52, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

GA review of To My Surprise (album)

Hi, I've posted my initial comments at Talk:To My Surprise (album)/GA1. At present the only item is "Coverage", as I think the article should probably provide a bit more info. Once that's resolved I'll get down to the nitty-gritty. --Philcha (talk) 11:20, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

I've posted some more comments. The main points are: material in some of the sources meets some of my previous questions, and provides relevant additional info; but make sure you use them accurately, as you've over-/mis-intepreted on a couple of points. --Philcha (talk) 22:32, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Siting a source

Thanks for that message. I think I understand this now. I'll have to read it more clearly though, but I think eventually I will understand siting sources soon. Bramblestar (ShadowClan Leader) (talk) 19:36, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

It worked. I just cited my first source now, and I appreciate your help. Thank you. Bramblestar (ShadowClan Leader) (talk) 01:46, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Grossly Misinformed???

Oh really. In response to your reply to my comment on slipknots talk page. Colsefini was still a member of the band while the Self-titled album was being recorded. It is clearly obvious given the fact that he contributed percussion parts and backing vocals on a vast majority of the tracks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WhisperedConjuration (talk • contribs) 03:09, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Sources

I do apologize, for I cannot find any reliable sources that solidify my claim that Colsefini did perform percussion parts on the album, but I do know that he can be heard on several of the songs. Take the track "Me inside" for example. He can be heard screaming in the intro of it. Once again I apologize for pursuing this argument so vigorously, as I was drunk when I first made the note on the Slipknot talk page, and was convinced that I was right. I feel kinda stupid now....
