Karnivool

Agree that the article needs work to improve it to a suitable standard - its particularly lacking in citing references for most of the information on the band, amongst other issues. Am happy to work with you on these. Dan arndt (talk) 03:56, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

That's alright - I've been busy editing the article as they are a Western Australian band - whilst I am not a huge progressive metal/heavy metal fan, I am a fan of Kenny's other project, Birds of Tokyo, and have both of their albums. Dan arndt (talk) 04:35, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

List of The Smashing Pumpkins band members

Hello! I would just like to let you know that I have created the List of The Smashing Pumpkins band members article. As you can probably see, I am not the best editor on Wikipedia, and the article does need a lot of work and sources that need to be cited. I would appreciate it if you would be willing to contribute to this list, because I know that you were eager to get the messy members section off the actual article. Thank you!

The Crow & the Butterfy

Well you know, I did create the page. And secondly, I feel that there isn't a universal meaning to the song, it means something different to everyone else. Brent Smith even said that himself. I feel that it is important to share that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Austin Lovelace (talk • contribs) 20:40, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

1. Creating the page doesn't give you any sort of special authority over the page. 2. I totally agree with what you have to say. It means different things to different people, and it is important to share that. However, that doesn't wikipedia the right medium for expressing it. It's more appropriate for message board forums, songmeanings.net, etc. Sergecross73 msg me 17:35, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

3DS release date

So, about that being an official timeframe by Nintendo... if they said it would be released "sometime next year", do we put "sometime next year"? Or if they said "in the Holiday Season", do we literally put "in the Holiday Season"? No. We'd put "2011", or "Q4 2010", respectively. Also, all should be revealed in less than three hours :D--The Ultimate Koopa (talk) 02:17, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Well, I realize it no longer matters since official dates have been revealed, but for the record "within a fiscal year" is just as appropriate as "2011" or "Q4", and again, it was official, verified, and sourced by nintendo. I don't understand why you'd remove something like that, or why you'd challenge it now, after it being there for the last 6 months. Sergecross73 msg me 13:09, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Birds of Tokyo new Single

I found the blog update from their site, referenced it, so the single "Wild at Heart" which is yet to be released can stay now. Sorry i forgot to write in the description that i added the reference and I thought i would notify you of this change. Sweet lad Thomas-gough (talk) 22:29, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

SINAI band

Hello, I represent SINAI's management firm. The reason I keep deleting the section on Tyler Gurwicz that you keep re-posting is because Tyler was never an official member of the band. The guys were writing songs with him, and they were talking about that publicly for less than 3 weeks. It didn't work out. No harm, no foul. But we do not feel that warrants an inclusion in the bands history. Far from it. Thank you for keeping an eye on the page and for your other contributions. Appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgesummer (talk • contribs) 22:18, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

First off, I don't "keep adding it", I've added it back once, and that's because you keep removing it without explanation in the edit summary, and haven't contributed to the discussion about this on the discussion page. Secondly, management firm or not, that doesn't give you authority on whether or not it should go on their wikipedia page. If people can find a reliable source, there's no reason not to have it on there, a different original lead singer is definitely notable. Sergecross73 msg me 14:00, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello, the reason the 3rd source was removed is because that link is down. The page must have been taken down. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgesummer (talk • contribs) 02:09, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

I received your message. Noted, and thank you. The other two sources' links provided are also now down. I removed them and the paragraph about Tyler. While we do appreciate your diligence, and I mean that, we are the ones who released information about Tyler jamming and writing with the band, and we are also the ones who retracted that information. If you want to remain historically accurate the page is now complete for the time being. The band's LLC was signed and dated by Nick, Walt, and Shane, and no where on paper or any legal format does Tyler have anything to do with this group. He was never an official member, rather just a friend of Nick's who started writing songs with SINAI. Again thank you for your diligence and I look forward to keeping you posted on the groups future developments. Happy Holidays. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgesummer (talk • contribs) 20:02, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank You

Hey Sergecross73. I am the one of the 2 people who was putting on the US price and Video Chat on the Nintendo 3DS. I am sorry that I did that. I am done doing that. And I hope we can seek each other as allies instead of enimeis. Sorry again please reply.71.181.240.86 (talk) 02:47, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. In fact, I'm rather impressed you stopped, let alone apologized. In my experience, most people, especially ones without a screen name, tend to be rather stubborn when their information/edits are reverted/undone. Thank you for being so civil. No hard feelings.

Emery

This is essentially pushing a POV. Please be even-handed. Either remove all unreferenced lines or remove none. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:26, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

That's not what I mean to do at all. (I personally like their stance.) I just don't like how it's placed in the article right now. It doesn't deserve it's own section, (it's only one sentence/idea), and then I noticed it wasn't sourced, so I questioned if it was true at all, especially if the problem with sourcing had been around for years. Don't take it personally, please WP:AGF. Sergecross73 msg me 20:32, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello

Possibly off topic, but how do you get those nice colours when you sign a response? Sepmix (talk) 16:40, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey, no problem. I personally found the process kind of confusing, and don't remember how I did it that well, so rather than tell you, I'll just point you in the direction of where I was reading when I did it before. Check out WP:SIGNATURE, down by the Customization/Color/Appearance sections. Hopefully that helps. Sergecross73 msg me 17:31, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

3DS Picture

I understand that there are certain rules on wikipedia, but I did not upload the image. After someone put this image on, it was removed, so I put it back on. Thank you for sharing this information, I'll read the rules before making future edits. abckookooman 21:44 (UTC)

I wasn't talking so much about uploading it as much as I noticed you had added/re-added it to the article. And again, not blaming, just clarifying. (Besides, sometimes it seems virtually no one understands wikipedia's image policy...) Sergecross73 msg me 22:53, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Third Eye Blind Timeline

Didn't Jon Evans play bass on almost every song on Ursa Major? If so, he really should be on the timeline. Woknam66 (talk) 14:14, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

While he did play on the album, that does not necessarily make him a member of the band. Lots of bands have studio musicians that help with an album, and while they certainly contribute, they're not called "band members". However, your chart is under the heading of "band members", thus creating the problem. Sergecross73 msg me 17:02, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Sinai Band

Serge - how is this systematic removal of Tyler Gurwicz from Sinai's history on their wiki page being allowed to continue? I have posted many reliable sources, and someone inevitably deletes them each time. This is ridiculous, and those doing so are not providing any content or value to the page other than tearing down factual information. I don't understand how these people are not banned or blocked from the page editing. I am the only one who has shown/proven again and again the connection of Tyler to the band, and those references continue to be pulled for no good reason. Is not the purpose of wikipedia to record facts, history, and truth? --Garrettmarvel (talk) 16:09, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I too find it upsetting that the band's management has systematically taken down past reliable sources about Tyler Gurwicz. However, as it is, they are management, I don't want to get into any legal trouble with them or anything.

Here's the way I see it: it's very hard for a rock band to make it these days. I imagine they'll release a record, it probably won't sell very well, they'll get dropped fromt their management, and then they won't care about the page anymore, and then the truth can be re-added, provided there are still sources left.

If you do continue to persue this, continue to stress that management editing the article is definitely a WP:COI problem. Sergecross73 msg me 17:12, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

i did report the COI the other day, though i don't know if or how or when something might be done. i agree the whole thing is stupid, but whatever - i like the bandmembers, and i wish them all the success in the world, they've written some great stuff in the past in previous bands... but this certainly is not my full time job, but someone or admins or somehow this should not be allowed to happen... i know i'm not the person to do it, but i thought that was the point of wikipedia. i got a notice that there was a request to protect the page from ME, which is laughable, regardless of if my comments attached to my edits were mildly heated the other day. --Garrettmarvel (talk) 22:04, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Mario Kart 3DS racers

OK, I guess you are right about removing that section, but I think we should add a track section because on the official trailer at some Nintendo fair in Japan, it does show three tracks. One is around Peach's castel, another is a jungel-like track, and the third is on wuhu island (from wii sports resort.)

That doesn't sound like a WP:RS. Furthermore, that doesn't really sound that notable, as there aren't even known track names yet...Sergecross73 msg me 15:37, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Super Mario Wiki, 3DS page. I really think you should check it out.

RE: Video game generation

OK, I wasn't aware of such a discussion; I'll go and have a look at some point (don't have time atm). I think the main issue here is simply the term "generation", since it brings with it quite a bit of baggage (e.g. the Wii being distinctly different hardware generation from the PS3 and 360, being largely based on the GC). I get your point about the high traffic and tbh it's not all that important (especially given that without the distinction made here on Wikipedia, it is largely meaningless anyway).
