Welcome to my talk page

If you post a message on this page, I will reply on this page to avoid spliting the discussion. If I've left you a message on your talk page, I will be watching it, so please reply there rather than here. Remember to WATCH this page if you have not set it to do it automatically so you can see when I respond.

Welcome!

Hello, Fisherjs, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Again, welcome! --Ton e 13:12, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Linking to categories

Hiya! I made a small edit to your userpage and feel that as it's a little unusual to do this, you should be told why some complete stranger edited your userpage:

When you hardlink to a category (such as: [[Category:Wikipedia maintenance]] your page gets included into that category. You need to soft-link to it like this: [[:Category:Wikipedia maintenance]]. The colon keeps your page from being auto-included into the category. It's also useful for linking to images (example: image:WikiThanks.png, which shows a link instead of the image file itself).

Anywho, have a nice day, and thanks for helping out with Wikipedia! :D

Gary Lucas

hey there, your edit on the Gary Lucas page ended up cutting out most of the text. I've reverted your edit; were you using an automated tool or something? --duncan 07:05, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't using a bot, but my brain was obviously on bot mode not to notice that the article had somehow been truncated to this. Sorry about that; I don't know how that happened.--Fisherjs 13:49, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject: Albums

Thanks for the heads-up about Wikiproject Albums. I had a question, though, which I asked here and on my talk page (see sig). — AnnaKucsma (Talk to me!) 20:18, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And you'll see my reply on your Talk page. I see you've already asked your question on the Project page. I'll be interested in the reply.

Thanks for the edit and advice

Hey there, thanks a lot for the edits, advice and message. It´s really helpful, as I am still kinda new at all this, and so I appreciate that you fixed some of the stuff I didn´t get right. Thanks!Danstew 14:05, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Francisco Aguabella

Thank you for starting the article! Be warned, howevr, that fair use albem covers are only considered fair use to illustrate the album in question, and have been removed from articles about performers in the past. But thanks again for your contributions, --Rockero 07:13, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but you might want to let User:James Janderson know about that since he is the person that added the image to the performer's page. I uploaded it, but only added it to the album article.--Fisherjs 17:29, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Summerbreeze

Thanks for the help, I'm trying to do a whole Tiesto discography (i've been adding all these albums, making a template, and just working my butt off. So thanks for the help DJREJECTED 08:58, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. And if I wasn't feeling so lazy at the time, I would have standardized a few other things such as putting track names in quotes, offsetting the times with an ndash, and removing the <small> tag from the times. How about if I leave that to you? As I put in my edit summary, you can visit Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums for more on the project to help with your template before you create lots of new pages.--Fisherjs 11:17, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ha...thanks. Yeah I've joined the project and am helping to standardize those Tiesto pages. Thanks again. --DJREJECTED 11:22, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers

Thanks for the help in standardising the Whipping Boy album page; I've since joined up with the albums project (as I'm a firm advocate of the art of albums - I don't think a song on its own is anything in comparison to a song which is a part of a well-crafted album), and at least I know the proper format now. Back I go to all the album pages I've created in the last two days!

I see Ireland is listed in your top 5 places to visit... If you do decide to come and need any travel advice, just drop me a line!

Thanks again

Adopting dab pages: format question

Hi Fisherjs, I replied to your formatting question (in your edit summary) about the tables on the "adopting dab pages" subproject. I put the reply on the talk page. Your input is definitely valued... --Ling.Nut 17:12, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Letting Go

Ah! Oops. Stupid. It was because there was already an article called Letting Go. Are you sure moving isn't necessary? I wouldn't mind doing it and I'd be glad to learn how it works. Thanks, --L e o44 (talk) 09:30, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't worry about moving it (it's not an uncommon error and besides there are bigger "problems" out there to fix). If you want other opinions, post something to the WikiProject Albums talk page.--Fisherjs 09:36, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thank you. --L e o44 (talk) 09:48, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Background=>Type

A good idea in principle, but one of the reasons the background field is going is that it was inconsistently used, so we could end up giving albums the wrong type. It would also be tricky to resolve clashes between type and background. Thanks from the note. Rich Farmbrough, 16:06 8 October 2006 (GMT).

Cleanup of The Rule

I noticed you rmv'ed the space between the header and content on The Rule and labeled the change as "cleanup." Is there a place in the WP formatting policy that suggests spaces like that should be rmv'ed? if so, please point me to it. Thanks for your help. --Anthony5429 00:32, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did some searching around and found this. So it looks like the spacing issue is completely optional. Happy WP'ing! --03:34, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, my edit was to make the "a" in "album" lowercase so that the link worked, but in the process I removed that space as well. I could have been more clear with the edit summary (usually I put "red link fix" but didn't for that edit for some reason).--Fisherjs 11:59, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Marrob

Hello Fisherjs If you wanna add something on the pages that I'm criated, please don't change the configuration that I'm do it!! and don't take off my credits!!! ok?!!! Bye—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Marrob (talk • contribs) 22:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC).[reply]

I think you are misunderstanding what a wiki is about. As User:Nufy8 said, you don't "own" the pages you create and you should adhere to the standards of a project. Also, you have a funny habit of signing articles and not talk pages. It should be the other way around.--Fisherjs 08:02, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Work lists of uncatted albums

Kudos for tackling these; I'm giving the populating-by-bot matter further thought. Feel free to just delete sections you've completed, if you find that easier than striking out articles, as I imagine might be the case. Alai 01:35, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Benzino Album: Redemption

Im having difficulty understanding why you would cat this article. Perhaps you should read the main Benzino article to assert notibility of the subject source? In the meantime, Ill remove the cat tag and put its insertion down to an error. regards 203.57.241.67 04:59, 27 December 2006 (UTC)Encise[reply]

As you can see, I added a category, because it didn't have one yet. I think you misunderstood my edit and may have confused it with the notability template that User:Y control added.--Fisherjs 07:43, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox work

Hi, hopefully I will have the Category:Album stubs wonderful-joy-of-a-job task done by tomorrow so will be able to join you with the infobox-adding task thereafter. Do you have a method, or is it just A – Z? Bubba hot ep 22:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I can see from your contribs that you follow the A-Z method, so what say I start Z-A and meet you in the middle some day?! ;) Bubba hot ep 22:12, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going pretty much A-Z, but when I find an artist that has many albums w/o boxes, then I often take care of all of them at once (see Luciano). Do whatever makes you happy, though.--Fisherjs 11:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Finished. Will take a couple of minutes to screw my eyes back in and will get on it! Bubba hot ep 11:22, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

vicious white kids

hello,

thanks !

Barnstar

		The Working Man's Barnstar
		For adding hundreds of album infoboxes and standardizing countless album articles, I hereby award you this Working Man's Barnstar. Jogers (talk) 12:01, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

¡Que bonita! Muchas gracias.--Fisherjs 15:28, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, well done to you, too! But I haven't got any cats to purge now. What to do? :) Bubba hotep 15:29, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What are you talking about, yo!? There are over 3800 pages in this cat. Get back to work. :) --Fisherjs 16:04, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes, I "didn't notice them" :P Bubba hotep 16:08, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it's probably slightly more than 3800 now... I haven't updated that category in the summary for three days... /taskset /tasklogged /taskexecuting... maybe in a few hours time! Bubba hotep 16:21, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are most welcome. Keep up the good work. Jogers (talk) 19:25, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What in the hell?

You're a bastard. That's right! A dirty, rotten bastard. Editing my Naty Botero article at the same time I am and not even bothering to be on IM at the same time! I was in a haze as I just got LASIK, but not from Navarro Naranjo...he ended up lying to me several times. Anyway, hope all is well. Chat soon? We'll be back in the states sometime this summer. Hwonder talk contribs 02:57, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good Sir, you ought to check yourself before you wreck yourself (it's only a matter of time, let's be honest, before that link works). Congrats on your LASIK; might want to give your eyes a wikibreak-ito. Yes, hope to catch up with you soon.--Fisherjs 14:32, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Ewemg.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Ewemg.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. This is an automated message from BJBot 13:34, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I had the syntax of the infobox wrong. It's fixed now.--Fisherjs 13:56, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Simpsons Movie (the soundtrack)

Please don't add anything to this article. It is a hoax by a mass vandal. --AAA! ^(AAAA) 23:22, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Album template

Hi Fisherjs, I saw the WikiProject Albums template you added to Talk:Live At The Rotterdam Ahoy. I went ahead and added the same template to Talk:The Soundboard Series but I'm wondering, is that the right template to use? Is there a different template for box sets? Robotman ¹⁹⁷⁴ 21:19, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's the right template. One template for all types so that the article ends up in Category:WikiProject Albums articles.--Fisherjs 21:22, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks. Robotman ¹⁹⁷⁴ 21:25, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:B000GY727Y.01. SS500 SCLZZZZZZZ V62780383 .jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:B000GY727Y.01. SS500 SCLZZZZZZZ V62780383 .jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:06, 19 February 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fang Aili ^talk 17:06, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Emerson Drive

Just to let you know, I've altered your categorization of the Emerson Drive albums a bit. Our actual standard format is to create Category:Emerson Drive albums, and then file that in the genre category, rather than creating a simple band category and filing the individual albums separately in that and the genre category. Also, we don't capitalize names of musical genres; the correct spelling is Category:Canadian country albums, not "Canadian Country albums". Bearcat 23:26, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fabric 34

Thanks for fixing up my mistakes on this article, is there anyway I can edit the album template and stuff above the section without making a duplicate now that I've finished it? Sorry, I'm new at this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bombyourselves (talk • contribs) 18:03, 18 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

If I understand your question, then I think the answer is simply to click the "edit this page" tab on top of the article (or simply here). Or you can click the [edit] link for section 1 and then just change the 1 to a 0 in the URL (that's the fancy and slick way to edit section "0"). Hope that answers your question. Be sure to check out WP:ALBUM if you are interested in album articles in general. Cheers! --Fisherjs 18:14, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot, I realized at the last minute how silly my question up but thanks again anyways. Bombyourselves 02:20, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Help needed

I just ran across this article (because I chip in categorizing articles) and it just read strange. After a look through the history, it seems that the content was added by just one user: User:Aaronl13 and a look through the user's contribs shows that they joined WP pretty much just to post that article. The only other mainspace edit they had was to link the article at Deforestation, which has since been removed, but I don't know why or when (that history is simply too long to go through). So, does this article need a NPOV tag or PROD or something else entirely, or is it fine and just underdeveloped? I don't know enough to judge its accuracy or even Truthiness. Thanks! --Fisherjs 21:07, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like a dose of original research at first glance. I would AfD it to be safe. I don't mind doing it, if you don't! :) Bubba hotep 21:12, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(now that I'm halfway through the AfD process) ...Even if it has all those citations? --Fisherjs 21:30, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Those citations could just be there as references to where all the research behind the original research came from. You know, kinda the influence behind it all. It does look very essay/study paper-like. A wider audience will expose it. NB: It's also on the editor's user page as well which is another clue as to its origin, maybe. Bubba hotep 21:33, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your input. I hope I did all that AfD stuff properly. It was my first time! --Fisherjs 21:41, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You did it just fine. It is a painful process what with three steps to do, but I have a javascript that does it all at the press of a button! Still don't use it that often though. :) Bubba hotep 21:46, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was deleted, by the way. Good spot. Bubba hotep 19:05, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Album stubs

So... a funny thing. I re-categorized the {{album-stub}} template as a music-stub instead of an album-stub so it didn't show up in Category:Album stubs. It was very quiet for a while... then I kept coming across album articles with {{album-stub}} on them but not showing up in the album stub category. So... I guess it has to be in that category so that any article ends up in that category too! Once the servers had caught up, 48 of the blighters turned up! But it looks like someone else sorted them anyway. Phew! Just catching up with infoboxes now. Hope you are having a good wikibreak. :) Bubba hotep 19:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hrm...strange and interesting.--Fisherjs 20:30, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Album tagging

I will do another pass soon. I don't do this on continual basis because making lists for the bot to work on is a bit time consuming. I'm afraid that I won't be able to run the bot a little bit each day as you suggested for this reason. Perhaps I'll try to run it more often though. Does it really hurt if an article isn't tagged straight away? The bot will tag every properly categorized article eventually so I think that there should be no need to manually place the tags as long as I'm around. Jogers (talk) 19:22, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You need to see this.

It's terrible that I have to put this here rather than emailing you, just because I know you'll see this sooner. Ha. By the way, I hear it's a varoncito! awesome Firefox extension. Hwonder talk contribs 20:08, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
