Black metal band list

Hey, I saw what you did; thanks, I didn't know about that. On a similar note, would you know how to let people know that the list of bands only includes those listed on Wikipedia directly? I'm trying to cut down the list of spam on the list and various others like it; and so far it seems no-one reads the HTML comments when editing the pages. --Dayn 12:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi

Thanks for the info, i didn't know about the WP:NDT and thought some articles should get a disclmr since WP is becoming a quick ref these days. In an unrelated matter, whats your opinion... I would like to create a template to promote wikispecies which i recently joined... plz see lion, tiger, and animals where you will see the standard pink box... Any advice? frummer 17:11, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Burning Point AfD

Hello, you beat me by a few minutes to the comment on this AfD, so if some of my points are very similar to yours, I wasn't copying... honest! :D Bubba hotep 12:04, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Back?

I got out of WP for a while since I got fed up with all the bullshit around here. What particularly bugged and still bugs me the most is the many nonsense metal genre articles and the low quality thereof. And also the frequent changes of genres in infoboxes... I mean an album like ...For Victory pretty much had any genre added to it, including death metal, grindcore, hardcore, crustcore... I don't think I'll do that much work on WP tho; add a few albums and stuff like that. Spearhead 21:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for information

Sorry, I was too eager to add missing information about Burning Point page and didn´t first read those links that you send me. This was my first time ;) Thank very much to you about enlighten me. ---jj- 16:10, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

American Nihilist Underground Society (response)

Okay, I'll hold off. Just make sure to watch for users Aaron Brenneman and Azer Red....they don't seem to like the article too much. Ours18 21:38, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Hee, yeah man, watch out for me, I'm c-r-a-z-y!! Anyway, I came here to say nice job on the re-write. So, erm, nice job on the re-write.

Please be careful

Sometimes there are multiple vandalistic edits in a row. When you revert, be sure to check previous edits so you don't remove one vandalism but leave others. You reverted Abortion to revert "pregnancy" being changed to "gettin' knocked up" but reverted to a version which had been changed to have Abortion called "MURDER"[1]. Thanks for all your hard work, just reminding you to double check. KillerChihuahua^?!? 18:02, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

My Request for Adminship

Thank you for your support in my my RfA, which passed with a tally of 117/0/1. I hope that my conduct as an admin lives up to the somewhat flattering confidence the community has shown in me; and that everything will continue to look good over the coming months. Please don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page should you need anything or want to discuss something with me.--Nilfanion (talk) 16:00, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

GNU/Linux redirect

Hi. You wrote this in an edit summary:

your change on GNU/Linux was reverted by another user, use the talk page for controversial changes and don't revert war against consensus

I would like to point out that it was one revert on my side and two on yours. Your tone suggests a sense of superiority, which I find offensive. Furthermore, "majority" does not constitute "consensus". When an editor disagrees, clearly no consensus has been reached. 80.233.255.7 00:40, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey. If you read the talk pages, you can see that there is a disagreement of what the page should contain. But no-one has ever suggested redirecting to GNU. Therefore, such a move is highly controversial. There was nothing wrong with your change, originally, of course. Being bold is good and suggestions are always welcome. But when an editor, or in this case two, revert your changes, it's not a good idea to revert back but to take the conversation to the talk page. Thanks, Prolog 00:47, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

You did not say that in your edit summary, which said "rv - this redirects to where GNU/Linux redirects". Thanks for explaining that now, though. 80.233.255.7 14:43, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I apologize

I'm sorry for accusing you of sock puppetry however somone is using these new brunswick ips to do so. --E tac 14:10, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Kimi at Wrooom 2007

First, the pictures I uploaded was taken from http://www.kimiraikkonenforever.com/index.html The picture has no mention that it's copyrighted or that it's fair used. In my sense, it's free of use and not copyrighted. That's why I wrote I didn't know what the situation of the picture is, but I found that it's free of use. So I'm asking you to put back the picture. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by VincentG (talk • contribs) 22:25, 12 January 2007 (UTC).

I've contacted the owner of the website. She's the owner of the pictures. So, I've asked her If I can used these pictures. If she say yes, the pictures will be back.

Strong encouragement

Hi Prolog, this is to strongly enourage you to bring Cinema of Finland in the main namespace article. Looks good, if not perfect it can still be developed there. Hoverfish Talk 09:17, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

My CSD nn band tagging

I am familiar with WP:MUSIC, though I couldn't recite it. There were a few that perhaps I shouldn't have tagged, but the resulting criteria I used was the lack of external sources (excluding myspace and the such). I was asked by an admin on IRC to go through Southern Lord Records and mark the ones I didn't feel made it. Of the 18 I've tagged, can you tell me how many were not CSD worthy? Thanks for the feedback. --MECU≈talk 19:56, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Southern Lord Records deletions

Thank you for noticing the problems with the AfD nominations for the bands on Southern Lord Records. I wanted to let you know that articles on some other bands on that label have been deleted (although not recently) and might be worth restoring. Warhorse (band) was deleted through a prod. Striborg was deleted through an AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Striborg. Perhaps some other redlinks at Southern Lord Records could be restored as well. I don't know much about this genre of music or whether individual bands on the label pass WP:MUSIC, although I expect that they would. --Eastmain 21:38, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Larin Paraske on DYK

On 21 January, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Larin Paraske, 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.

Thank you for your contributions. — ERcheck (talk) 15:48, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: WikiProject World Rally

Thanks for the info. I'd used Rallye-Info to get the other information, but stage wins is the only thing they didn't have.

Professionally Damaged

You changed "Professionaly damaged" to "Professionally Damaged". The official title, and the one on the EP, has "damged" lowercase. Is there a Wikipedia rule that overrules using the actual title? John Cardinal 14:27, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the answer. I had read the policy but didn't interpret it the same way. I will yield to your experience. John Cardinal 17:36, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Armagetron Advanced

Can you please explain why you keep reverting the contributions of Auaug on this article? I've quickly reviewed those changes and they appear reasonable attempts by a new user. You appear to be biting at something; but I cant figure it out. John Vandenberg 13:06, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey. I don't understand what you mean. This, this and this were not "reasonable attempts" but vandalism. Even a bot tried to revert him, but was too slow. I didn't revert his section blanking the second time anymore, because that, instead, could be an attempt to improve the article. Thanks, Prolog 13:21, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, Im reallly sorry. I somehow misread the users last two diffs ([3] and [4]) the other way around; I though the user was trying to add the "Playing the Game" section. Extreme apologies! John Vandenberg 13:29, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

No worries. I've made the same mistake myself once, when I was tired. :-) Prolog 13:37, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Hint taken; I'm off to to bed. Enjoy your day :-) John Vandenberg 13:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

List of...

Sorry bout that - i'm trying to change it now but it appears there was a previous nomination (which was dominated by unsigned users - likely IP addresses) ... what should I do now, I mean there's no way that an article can only have one deletion discussion - right?--Daniel()Folsom ^T|_C|^U 05:57, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

My bad, i was looking at the talk page, the discussion was not dominated by unsigned users.--Daniel()Folsom ^T|_C|^U 06:00, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! Now assuming I can fend off some WP:IAR argument - it should be deleted. (Chances of me fending off some WP:IAR argument: 15% - this article prob. won't be deleted :'( ).--Daniel()Folsom ^T|_C|^U 06:10, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Categorization

Hey. I don't understand your second edit to my sandbox. Pages are not categorized, if the categories are only added as links by using a colon, as in Category:Grand Prix motorcycle racing circuits. Thanks, Prolog 12:58, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Is that right? Sorry if you're correct. The previous categories were showing and I didn't pay attention to the colon on my second visit... Wikigi 13:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, why was the Niittymäki page rated as only start class and what would you suggest to add/do to improve this? Thanks. Hazelorb 03:58, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Yea, I think at one point it had more but it has been removed by the anti diacritic team (you know, unless it's about the NHL, it's not important on the English wikipedia.. those ppl drive me crazy). Hopefully I can find a good source and start expanding it again. Hazelorb 19:35, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Infobox

I'm running every article through WikiEd after I've added an infobox to clear up any major errors, layout, common typos, etc. When you copy a hyperlinked piece of text into the box, it then turns it into an external link, for some reason. As most of these people don't have articles anyway, I can't be bothered to change them. Anyone putting serious work into the article will change them all anyway and until then, it might be useful to a reader to be able to see what else they've done.

Hi. Please have a quick look at my notes on the above article's talk page if you are interested in this matter. The editor currently pushing heavily for changes on the article tried to pass himself off as the biographed person, which I think I have now disproven. Cheers.

Rock music Wikiproject invitation

Hello WikiProject Metal member.
WikiProject Metal music is important in expanding encyclopedic coverage of the metal. It brings attention to the lesser-known bands, and significantly improves the quality of the famous ones. Five Featured articles and two formers is proof of that.
This is the stuff I wish to achieve with the somewhat recently resurrected WikiProject Rock music. I hope to also attract attention to rock music articles of all sorts, and hopefully change some to GA or FA status. I invite you to come join us, and embrace the links between metal and rock music in general.
Rock on.

Mika (singer)

Hi, I requested the Mika move on WP:RM, like you suggested, but it's slightly more complicated since the disambig page would be moved too, and it's obviously important that other people than editors of Mika (singer) have their say, as you noted. If you think the RM should be modified or moved, please go ahead and do it, since I'm not totally sure how it should be done (never done this before). ConDem^Talk 05:03, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Suicide articles

Suicide is more than just an issue. It is a social phenomenon, and so is how society is set up to deal with it. Not to present the current state of affairs in the proportion in which they exist is a misrepresentation of reality and definitely POV pushing. Society isn't neutral on the issue of suicide, and therefore it is not POV pushing to report society's suicide response superstructure. The social norm, expecially in the US, is the treatment of suicide attempts as a crisis. The article presented this almost as an afterthought - and that's skewing the picture of the real world, and doing a great disservice to Wikipedia's readers who may be in the precarious position of contemplating suicide. It is impossible to take a neutral stance on this issue, because perfect balance is impossilbe. The articles will likely sway one way or the other. So we should concentrate on reporting suicide in the context of the state of affairs of the world rather than as a mere philosophical issue. The Transhumanist   19:10, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism by 67.42.100.71

Hello there Prolog

Thanks for reverting the vandalism by 67.42.100.71 to the Big Foot article. Unfortunately, he vandalized the page again after a couple of mins. Please be sure to keep an eye on him (I will too) and request a ban if he vandalizes again. Thanks. Qwertyca 21:43, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
