Unix vs UNIX

FYI, Unix is the canonical capitalization used on Wikipedia. "UNIX®" is used by The Open Group. See Unix#Branding for details. --IanOsgood 18:52, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Sound-O-Mat

An article of yours is in AFD: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sound-O-Mat (label). Joe Chill (talk) 21:21, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

I'll put it in my "sandbox" and work on it there? Is that OK?

My pal Rev. Al's "The Art of Bleeding" joke project gets a page, but my label, which puts out music from musicians, is "Speedily Deleted?" I've carried shit to/from the TAoB ambulance enough times, but my label has been around a lot longer.

I know. I will search and remove every link to Wikipoopia, and then send it to 127.0.0.1. Yay!

Can't Give a Shit about Wikipedia's take on the awesome that is M. Griffin (disambiguation)

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. noq (talk) 14:16, 30 October 2011 (UTC

Proposed deletion of M. Griffin (disambiguation) - great, propose it, but don't then go delete it without a discussion. End get someone who follows music to review this.

There is more than one "M. Griffin". One's a coach, and the other a very well-known ambient musician and founder and co-owner of Hypnos - look it up, plenty of references - that has put out over 100 CDs since it was founded. Mike needs an entry just as much as Robert Rich, who put out four releases over six years on Hypnos.

If that's not justification enough, you need to let someone who knows Hypnos and Robert Rich review this and decide if it should be deleted. You're probably just a sports person. That's fine, and I'm not changing the coach's page, just adding a disabm. page and a short entry for the musician.

In the independent music community, M. Griffin is well known and respected. I am just trying to make an entry for him, so that people interested in Hypnos and over a dozen, well-reviewed CD releases. I have no doubt that most people interested in music could give a darn about some dead football coach.

So I am just trying to create a disambiguation page to be able to point to both "M. Griffin" people.

Isn't that the WHOLE POINT of the disabm. page?? WinkJunior (talk) 01:58, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of M. Griffin (musician)

Dear DGG,

Thanks for being cool. I thought that a bunch of references to the Hypnos label, easily one of the top five "ambient music" labels... Hearts of Space, maybe 1-2 more... would be reference enough. That's OK. I'll just copy over refs from the Hypnos page and more. It's an important indie label, and M. Griffin created it, still runs it, and is the most-released artist on it (which makes sense, since it's his label, after all.)

So I will _improve_ the article. That's reasonable. And I want to do anyway. Can I just have a couple of days respite to get it done? I have a life, and a couple of jobs... so unlike Wikipedians, I don't have much time to sit around and get all anal about things, y'know? No offense intended. If it gets deleted, whatever. I can get paid for work; Wikipedia doesn't pay me. So what-ever. — WinkJunior (talk) 05:11, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Why don't you work on it in your sandbox and then move it to mainspace when it's adequately sourced? ^Bongo_matic 05:47, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Short answer: I'm busy and have _much_ better things to do.

Longer answer: Thank You! But what's a "sandbox" and where can I put this stuff until it's done? Really, I'm not trying to be an arsehole, even though I am one, y'know? Thanks!! — WinkJunior (talk) 05:54, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Just follow this link: User:WinkJunior/M. Griffin and create the page. It's in what's called your "User space". Once it's ready for prime time there's a way to move it to article space. ^Bongo_matic 07:10, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Bongo Dude, you are Totally Boss! I will do that, thank you!!

There is however another option: the present page will not be deleted until the 13th. So you have 9 days to improve it. In fact, the present deletion tag is only about the absence of sources; if you can add one substantial 3rd party source relevant to the person's notability, you may remove the tag yourself.

Oh, pro noblem (sic) with references. So I'll do that, then bag the tag. If it gets put back, I'll add more refs!

The question will then become whether the person is notable independently of the label.

Ah, I see. Yes. Yes indeed. The label is famous in part because of Mike's music, and vice-versa. The two are, really, inseparable, and since the [[Hypnos_(record label)|Hypnos] page, which I redid several times after it was deleted, has grown in about 75% of the 100+ releases, I figure I'm not the only one who cares.

The standards are WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC. The notability of the head of an organization as distinct from the notability of the organization is often disputed: there is not simple rule. It's often assumed for the CEOS of very large companies, but I don't think that applies here: You will need references referring substantially to his individual role and career, not just the company.

Got it! Will do, Sir! Or Ma'am. Or Sir, Yes, Ma'am, Sir! :-)

and, the notability of the label is not indisputable either: some people here may not be willing to induce it automatically on the basis of having multiple notable musicians. You should try to find substantial third party references proving it one of the largest such companies DGG ( talk ) 23:39, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Check! Thanks for basically spelling it out for my retarded self. THANK YOU!

Welcome to Wikipoopia (No shit? I've prolly been here longer than you.) Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on Jack Rose (guitarist). (Awwww... here's a tissue, please stop crying.) Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. Tiptoety ^talk 07:50, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

I think there should be a way to call out bad editors. The Jack Rose (guitarist) page is a mess, and full of errors. I just got off the phone with his widow. So I'll try to be nice. WinkJunior (talk) 16:48, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello and welcome! I edit Wikipedia too, under the username Cyberpower678. Wikipedia is written by people like you and me, so thank you for taking the time to participate. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made to User talk:Tiptoety with this edit, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions about editing, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Dude, thanks for covering my back! Cheers!

Wake Up, You Anal Losers?

Your recent editing history at Jack Rose (guitarist) shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it.

I made one change on the page, correcting tons of incorrect info. It was retracted. That's all. Nothing more. Jack is dead, and could give a shite about Wikipompousia when he was alive, so go ahead and spread your "truth" that "Rob's Choice" is a Deadhead reference, not named after [[User::RobVaughn]]. Douchebags. WinkJunior (talk) 08:11, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, de blah. Do you feel better now? I do! :D
