Discographies

Hi again. Noticed this edit & thought I'd let you know: That generally only applies if there's a separate discography article for the artist in question. Like we have the separate article Ramones discography, so at Ramones#Discography we use a {{Main}} link to point to the separate article and list only the studio albums in the band article. We call that summary style. Since there's no Jason Newsted discography article, it's OK to list live albums, EPs, etc. at Jason Newsted#Discography because nowhere else is there a complete list of his recorded work.

I'll take a crack at those Rancid articles tomorrow, by the way. --IllaZilla (talk) 05:43, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Side note: sometimes you can use the summary style for an individual musician even if they don't have a separate discography article. Like at Lars Ulrich#Discography that works because he plays on every Metallica release. For Newsted, though, it makes more sense to list all the stuff he played on because he only plays on a portion of Metallica's discography. --IllaZilla (talk) 05:50, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh okay, I did not know that, sorry, I'll re-add the live albums, extened plays, ect. that he played on. Okay, thanks for helping me out. :) --Blaguymonkey (talk) 08:27, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

Thank you for contributions. I have realized that you have edited an punk rock-related article. If you wish there is a Punk music WikiProject which you can join and help us edit Wikipedia’s punk rock articles. Wikipedia also has the following punk rock-related projects:

If you have any questions just ask at the Punk music WikiProject.

Again, Thank you for your help!--Guerillero | My Talk 17:48, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Black Flag

Hi, noticed your moves of a couple of Black Flag articles & moved them back. Thought you'd want to know why. Nervous Breakdown, Jealous Again, Six Pack, TV Party, The Process of Weeding Out, and I Can See You are classified by most sources as EPs, and that's how they were always described by the band and label. "Louie Louie" is the only true single in the band's catalog, as it's just 1 song per side. "Annihilate This Week" varies in its classification: The argument for it being a single is that all 3 tracks are from Who's Got the 10½?, but they're only on the CD reissue; They were left off the original LP & cassette releases due to length, & so were released as a stand-alone...similar to what happened with I Can See You and In My Head. So I would classify it as an EP, and some of the sources do as well. I know this can be confusing, but take it from someone who's read multiple books about Black Flag: Spray Paint the Walls: The Story of Black Flag by Stevie Chick, American Hardcore: A Tribal History by Steven Blush, and Our Band Could Be Your Life by Michael Azerrad all back me up on this: Six Pack and TV Party are EPs, not singles. --IllaZilla (talk) 07:19, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of best-selling music artists

At the list of best selling music artists we rely on certified sales more than sales figures claimed by sources. See the percentage requirements for certified sales posted at the top of Talk:List of best-selling music artists. Also, see this archived discussion on ABBA. ABBA have begun appearing on the charts before 1975; therefore, they must have their claimed figure covered by 15% certified sales. They don't have enough certified sales to be listed with 370 million. Regards.--Harout72 (talk) 16:22, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We no longer list artists with what sources simply claim, we look at whether artists have enough certified sales to support such figures. This resolution was done to avoid filling the list with inflated sales figures. While the record companies always claim illogical sales figures for their artists, at the end of the day, the certified sales will help you know where the actual sales really stand.--Harout72 (talk) 06:05, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it is relatively a new policy, about a year old. So far it's been helping us to keep the list in order.--Harout72 (talk) 16:14, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since we have so many artists on the list, it took some time to go over each one. While I personally removed numerous artists from the list due to our new policy, slightly inflated sales figures which also needed removal were brought to my attention later. ABBA isn't the only band/artist who's gone though this months later after the policy was amended, Roxette (see this discussion), Kylie Minogue (see this discussion), Iron Maiden (see this discussion) had figures that didn't meet the required percentage. Others; however, were simply removed months later including Jean Michel Jarre (see this), Deep Purple (see this). There were others too, you'd just have to go through the archived discussions. I hope this clears things up a bit.--Harout72 (talk) 16:25, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for comment/Uncivil

Hello Blaguymonkey. On 17 March 2011 you left a message on a Talk page asking a User to behave in a more civil manner. See your diff

Unfortunately, that User has not taken adequate notice of your advice, and has continued to taunt others, including newbies, with uncivil comments. For example, see this recent diff.

In recent times there have been more messages on this User's Talk page, and a couple of approaches to Wikiquette Assistance, and finally Wikipedia:Requests for comment/DocKino. In this RfC, you are mentioned by name, and your message from 17 March 2011 is among those cited as evidence of other Users having tried unsuccessfully to influence this User's behaviour. If you agree, you are entitled to endorse the RfC as a User who has tried to solve the problem. Regards. Dolphin (t) 02:04, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How do I agree? --BLAguyMONKEY! (talk) 05:38, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Go here and leave your signature below Dolphin's. You can also leave a summary of why you agree with the assessment, if you wish. --IllaZilla (talk) 06:05, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

IllaZilla is correct. If you agree with the purpose of the RfC you are entitled to add your name under Users certifying the basis for this dispute. (Even if you don't agree, you are still entitled to add your name!) Dolphin (t) 06:52, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks! :) And yes, I agree! --BLAguyMONKEY! (talk) 06:54, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Underground: Issue 1 (August/September 2012)

Column-generating template families

The templates listed here are not interchangeable. For example, using {{col-float}} with {{col-end}} instead of {{col-float-end}} would leave a <div>...</div> open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting.

Column templates
Type	Family	Handles wiki table code?^†	Responsive/ mobile suited	Start template	Column divider	End template
Float	"col-float"	Yes	Yes	{{col-float}}	{{col-float-break}}	{{col-float-end}}
Float	"columns-start"	Yes	Yes	{{columns-start}}	{{column}}	{{columns-end}}
Columns	"div col"	Yes	Yes	{{div col}}	–	{{div col end}}
Columns	"columns-list"	No	Yes	{{columns-list}} (wraps div col)	–	–
Flexbox	"flex columns"	No	Yes	{{flex columns}}	–	–
Table	"col"	Yes	No	{{col-begin}}, {{col-begin-fixed}} or {{col-begin-small}}	{{col-break}} or {{col-2}} .. {{col-5}}	{{col-end}}

^† Can template handle the basic wiki markup {| | || |- |} used to create tables? If not, special templates that produce these elements (such as {{(!}}, {{!}}, {{!!}}, {{!-}}, {{!)}})—or HTML tags (<table>...</table>, <tr>...</tr>, etc.)—need to be used instead.
