Kurt Cobain

Just finished an edit of Kurt Cobain where I tried to deal with the suicide dispute stuff. Lots of deleting and some moving. Not really any of what I removed was appropriate for the individual book and movie articles describing about the suicide theories, so the only place it seems reasonable is the "Is-a-good-idea-if-you-think-about-it-but-really-needs-work" Death of Kurt Cobain article, where most of it is anyway. Please post comments or concerns about my edit on the Kurt Cobain talk page so we can attempt to craft a consensus version of the article there. WesleyDodds 12:06, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Godsmack

Hi, would you please talk some sense into User:Demantos. He is trying to merge Godsmack discography with Godsmack. Godsmack has enough music to warrent a seperate article for discography, and any substantially successful band has one on wikipedia. Please comment on his talk page, and comment here.

Thank you,

Franz Ferdinand

You say that much of the information there was irrelevant, but "The Chateau" stages was one of the most interesting things for me about the band, and if there's a history part of the page then you might as well keep it. It's kind of like removing the "Cavern Club" era off the Beatles wikipedia page.

Also the media section is quite interesting. It's something that's been there before I started editing Wiki and was one of the parts I read about the most. It's kind of exciting and interesting to know about the adverts etc.

Thanks for the edits you made to the article yesterday, much appreciated. Almost finished the re-write :) M3tal H3ad (talk) 12:08, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Loveless

I plan to skip Peer Review (shock! horror!) with Loveless (album) and take it to FAC in about a week, given it's been a three-way project between me, Ceoil, and Brandt Luke Zorn, and there's been a few outside looks at it anyway. I would appreciate any feedback you could provide on the article, though. One bit that's still somewhat vexing to us is the lead; I'm considering somehow incorporating the first paragraph of the Recording section into it.

Dear Cloudnine, after your edits to this page, Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami became a Featured Article.

If it is something added by a bot later on, I apologize for bothering you with this detail. Thanks, NancyHeise (talk) 17:44, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pixies article

I went to my library today and photocopied the entire Spin article. There's nothing really useful for David Lovering (although he does outright say he toured with Cracker and Nitzer Ebb); maybe some stuff that can be used for Joey Santiago. It'll definitely prove useful when you get to working on Kim Deal. WesleyDodds (talk) 04:35, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A though: do you want me to just mail the article to you? WesleyDodds (talk) 10:51, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I should be able to send it out Monday. Be warned: it took me a few pages to get the hang of the photocopier, so some of the words at the edges are missing. Anything else you want me to look through/photocopy? WesleyDodds (talk) 12:23, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The analysis of "Could You Be the One?" is rather short (about half a page), so I'll just type it for you in an e-mail. My university library has a number of issues of Alternative Press, Mojo, and Spin, so there's that in addition to what I have on-hand. I have a ton of Guitar World issues I haven't catalogue yet. My buying habits for that magazine revolve around whether or not there's an article and/or tab I want. Thus anything to do with Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, Led Zeppelin, Beatles, punk rock, and other items when I could afford it. So I end up with stuff like this one issue of Bass Guitar from two years ago (which I bought solely because it transcribes the Stooges' "Search and Destroy") that has an interview with Mike Watt. WesleyDodds (talk) 12:40, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Persian Gulf naming mediation

First of all, thanks for accepting the mediation case. As for your request, where should that be provided, in the actual mediation page, or will you be formatting the discussion page to provide for position statements? - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 09:14, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Want some mediation help?

...as I'd like to offer my assistance, such as it is. I saw the open case and was toying with the idea of taking it on myself, as a new mediator, and decided to take time to think on the idea. I see you've accepted the case. I'm offering to assist you, perhaps by helping you collect evidence, proofread your proposal, or otherwise perform clerk-like functions. I think that mediation will probably be more coherent if there is only *one* mediator, so I'm not asking to be co-mediator. Let me know what you think. -Orphic (talk) 12:36, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. I should mention that I notice one of the participants in the dispute offered a number of JSTOR links in support of his position. I have access to JSTOR (or will for the next day or so, until I start holiday travel). Would you like me to run those links down? - Orphic (talk) 07:20, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Help please

Can you inform me whether there is a article on a Tour by a musician which is either FA or GA. I am not able to find one. I am planning to get The Sweet Escape Tour to GA and need a model. Thank you. Reply anxiously awaited. Indianescence (talk) 12:15, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So this means that an article on a tour should have only tour dates and the songs performed and nothing else? This is really confusing. Because The Sweet Escape tour has way too many other things. Indianescence (talk) 11:46, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have posted a message there. But what all things you would like to see in a tour article. What should the article have. Any basic necessities? Just wanted to know so that i have a brief idea of what all to put up there. Indianescence (talk) 17:37, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notes and references within Pixies articles

Hey man. I noticed you reverted my edit on David Lovering that moved the references above the notes. I just wanted to say that you should consider flipping these two on all Pixies-related articles. It's much more clearer and continent for the reader if the references are above the notes. I'm not sure if there is a guideline supporting this, but the logic behind it shouldn't be hard to understand. If you're averse to dealing with the tedium of doing this on every Pixies article, I'd be more than happy. Since you're the Pixies dude, I'm definitely running this by you before I just start doing it. Regards. Grim (talk) 04:05, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you've been away for the past few days. Have you any input on this issue? Grim (talk) 02:54, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've basically gone through and changed and cleaned up the references on the majority of Pixies articles. There are a few lower-quality articles that I didn't touch, but I figured that the reference cleanup for those can be done if/when article improvement takes place. Grim (talk) 00:47, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

"Freak Scene", definitely. On another topic, I was wondering what you'd think about adding a "Recommended album of the month" feature to the newsletter. Given a lot of people in the project have very specific interests, this might be a fun way of introducing people to great records.

List of Presidents of the American Bar Association

How can Henry Hitchcock have been President of the ABA in 1890 if he died in 1839? I already know the answer... it's a different Henry Hitchcock. I de-linked the name and put a note in the article.--Dr who1975 (talk) 19:44, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Of all the uncited things on the page, some of which were added by you, why single out Lewis Franklin Powell, Jr.... and how is anyone going to know thata citation is needed if you comment his name off the page completely. In any event, I added a citation. There's nothing on Benjamin Bristow's page that says he was President of the ABA (except for Category:Presidents of the ABA I added after you put him the list) so I marked his name with the citation needed template (without removing it's visibility from the page).--Dr who1975 (talk) 22:41, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Smells Like Teen Spirit" was moved to "Smells like Teen Spirit" again even though it had been settled right before it appeared on the Main Page that we would leave it at the proper title (since it is never written as "Smells like Teen Spirit").

Jane's Addiction

Yes, it's very good. It's structured quite like the Pixies oral biography, since both were inspired by articles in Spin. Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro come off pretty badly at points in the book, though (although at least they admit they acted like jerks from time to time). By the way, I saw Perry Farrell at a museum when I was in LA on Friday. That was totally unexpected. WesleyDodds (talk) 01:06, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

user block or page protection?

Hi there -- I'm a major contributor to the page for Once, and we're having edit war trouble with an IP user who posts from many IPs that start with 71.99. If you check the history, you'll see that this person insists on adding a Czech quote from the movie to the Plot section; another user and I have reverted, but this person keeps coming back despite discussion. Different users who say they know Czech have disagreed about what the phase in question actually is (and it's not verifiable for most English WP users), the phase isn't subtitled onscreen, and quotes in film plot summaries is not neceessary anyway. The talk page shows that the user has been uncivil, won't discuss, and ignores current and past discussions on the topic there and at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Films/Archive_16#Question_about_sourcing_in_plots_of_film_articles. But can a roaming user be blocked for edit warring? Does this merit page protection to ward off this anon editor?

Franz Ferdinand

I noticed you've put in a lot of good work maintaining the state of the Franz Ferdinand (band) page. You may be interested in a dispute about the Franz Ferdinand page. It used to point to the disambiguation page - as, despite there being more searches for the band than the archduke, users will be interested in both topics. Unfortunately, it has recently been changing to point directly to the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria page. Could you read the discussion on the Talk:Franz Ferdinand page?

1988 Atlantic hurricane season FAC

I have responded to the concerns you brought up on the FAC above. I have posted them thier for continuity in the FAC but so you can easily see my reasoning i shall post them below.

Response I was aware of that but i left it unchanged for the reasoning that throughout the article i have applied the following rule:

0-9 are all in written form
numbers greater than 10 are written numerically except in the following cases: In storm names as the written form is the actual name of the storm, in the season summary section because you have six to fourteen in this section and so i wanted to maintain continuity as much as possible. I felt it was better to use the written form of fourteen as it resulted in fewer anomalies than changing all the 0-9's in this section to digit form. Seddon69 (talk) 00:09, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's one or two items cited in the article from the hardcover of Our Band Could Be Your Life, but feel free to change those and add citations from your paperback version.

Pearl Jam article controversy

Hi, I was refrenced to you since you had done much work on the Pearl Jam article and i wanted to ask you something in regards to the disscussion about the line in the Pearl Jam article stating they were the most popular band of the 1990's. Considering bands like Metallica, R.E.M., Nirvana, and RHCP sold as much or even more (Metallica and R.E.M. both sold much more records the Pearl Jam did), it should be removed or at least be changed to "one of the most popular bands" considering they were very popular. And as far as who is most influential no one can actually tell. I think it should be changed to "one of the most popular bands of the 1990's". After reading the disscusion page i found out that many people agreed with me. --Nirvana77 (talk) 18:53, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Featured sounds

I noticed that you have participated in Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates in the past. There are now two candidates and the project appears to be abandoned. If you could look at the candidates and vote it would be appreciated. Zginder^{(talk) (Contrib)} 00:34, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SST

I'm not sure how Ginn met Spot; i might have skipped that. I know when I was citing the book last night I was trying to figure out how Joe Carducci came aboard, or how Chuck Dukowski became a co-owner. I'll definitely add details about the debacle with MCA over Damaged when I get home. WesleyDodds (talk) 23:57, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The only record label GA I know of is Mr. Lady Records, so if you want to use that for any inspiration. I think I've gotten almost all of the information available in Our Band Could Be Your Life; feel free to rephrase sections and and renumber cites to fit your edition when you get a hold of your copy again.

User Removing Notability Tags

I recently added a notability tag to Bow High School. The user User:Ken Gallager made an edit removing the tag and making no changes, and made a comment that implied that the article belonged to him. I reverted his edit, but if he makes any similar changes can you look into it? Thanks. Dimension31 (talk) 09:07, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
