Vanilla Ice is not a Nu Metal artist

Vanilla Ice is a rapper it says so on his wikipedia page and whoever made the references saying he was nu-metal are stupid.

Re: Noise in music

Just a reminder: there are currently four inline maintenance tags in the article, two in the lead and two in the footnotes section. A reviewer could conceivably fail it because of this. Ping Jerome Kohl, because I have not received a reply on this. Viriditas (talk) 10:54, 11 April 2014

VisualEditor newsletter—April 2014

Did you know?

You can use VisualEditor to make redirects. First, remove any unwanted content from the page. Then go to the "Page options" menu (next to "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cancel⧽") and choose the "Page settings" item. Click the box to "Redirect this page to". In the box, type in the name of the page that you want to redirect this page to.

You can also set or remove categories for the redirect in the "Page options" menu. Read the user guide for more information.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on performance improvements, image settings, and preparation for a simplified citation template tool in its own menu.

  • In an oft-requested improvement, VisualEditor now displays red links (links to non-existent pages) in the proper color. Links to sister projects and external URLs are still the same blue as local links.
  • You can now open templates by double-clicking them or by selecting them and pressing  Return.  This also works for references, images, galleries, mathematical equations, and other "nodes".
  • VisualEditor has been disabled for pages that were created as translations of other pages using the Translate extension (common at Meta and MediaWiki.org). If a page has been marked for translation, you will see a warning if you try to edit it using VisualEditor.
  • When you try to edit protected pages with VisualEditor, the full protection notice and most recent log entry are displayed. Blocked users see the standard message for blocked users.
  • The developers fixed a bug that caused links on sub-pages to point to the wrong location.
  • The size-changing controls in the advanced settings section of the media or image dialog were simplified further. VisualEditor's media dialog supports more image display styles, like borderless images.
  • If there is not enough space on your screen to display all of the tabs (for instance, if your browser window is too narrow), the second edit tab will now fold into the drop-down menu (where the "Move" item is currently housed). On the English Wikipedia, this moves the "Edit beta" tab into the menu; on most projects, it moves the "Edit source" tab. This is only enabled in the default Vector skin, not for Monobook users. See this image for an example showing the "Edit source" and "View history" tabs after they moved into the drop-down menu.
  • After community requests, VisualEditor has been deployed as an opt-in feature at Meta and on the French Wikinews.
The drop-down menu is on the right, next to the search box.

Looking ahead:  A new, locally controlled menu of citation templates will put citations immediately in front of users. You will soon be able to see the Table of Contents while editing. Support for upright image sizes (preferred for accessibility) is being developed. In-line language setting (dir="rtl") will be offered as a Beta Feature soon. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. It will be possible to upload images to Commons from inside VisualEditor.

If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on Monday, 19 May 2014 at 18:00 UTC. If you'd like to get this on your own page, subscribe at Wikipedia:VisualEditor#Newsletter for English Wikipedia only or at meta:VisualEditor/Newsletter for any project. Thank you!

VisualEditor newsletter—May 2014

Did you know?

The cite menu offers quick access to up to five citation templates.  If your wiki has enabled the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" menu, press "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" and select the appropriate template from the menu.

Existing citations that use these templates can be edited either using the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" tool or by selecting the reference and choosing the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" item in the "Insert" menu.

Read the user guide for more information.

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on the new citation tool, improving performance, reducing technical debt, and other infrastructure needs.

The biggest change in the last few weeks is the new citation template menu, labeled "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽". The new citation menu offers a locally configurable list of citation templates on the main toolbar. It adds or opens references using the simplified template dialog that was deployed last month. This tool is in addition to the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" item in the "Insert" menu, and it is not displayed unless it has been configured for that wiki. To enable this tool on your wiki, see the instructions at VisualEditor/Citation tool.

Eventually, the VisualEditor team plans to add autofill features for these citations. When this long-awaited feature is created, you could add an ISBN, URL, DOI or other identifier to the citation tool, and VisualEditor would automatically fill in as much information for that source as possible. The concept drawings can be seen at mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog, and your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted.

  • There is a new Beta Feature for setting content language and direction.  This allows editors who have opted in to use the "Language" tool in the "Insert" menu to add HTML span tags that label text with the language and as being left-to-right (LTR) or right-to-left (RTL), like this:  <span lang="en" dir="ltr">English</span>. This tool is most useful for pages whose text combines multiple languages with different directions, common on Right-to-Left wikis.
  • The tool for editing mathematics formulae in VisualEditor has been slightly updated and is now available to all users, as the "⧼math-visualeditor-mwmathinspector-title⧽" item in the "Insert" menu. It uses LaTeX like in the wikitext editor.
  • The layout of template dialogs has been changed, putting the label above the field.  Parameters are now called "fields", to avoid a technical term that many editors are unfamiliar with.
  • TemplateData has been expanded:  You can now add "suggested" parameters in TemplateData, and VisualEditor will display them in the template dialogs like required ones.  "Suggested" is recommended for parameters that are commonly used, but not actually required to make the template work.  There is also a new type for TemplateData parameters: wiki-file-name, for file names.  The template tool can now tell you if a parameter is marked as being obsolete.
  • Some templates that previously displayed strangely due to absolute CSS positioning hacks should now display correctly.
  • Several messages have changed: The notices shown when you save a page have been merged into those used in the wikitext editor, for consistency.  The message shown when you "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cancel⧽" out of an edit is clearer. The beta dialog notice, which is shown the first time you open VisualEditor, will be hidden for logged-in users via a user preference rather than a cookie.  As a result of this change, the beta notice will show up one last time for all logged-in users on their next VisualEditor use after Thursday's upgrade.
  • Adding a category that is a redirect to another category prompts you to add the target category instead of the redirect.
  • In the "Images and media" dialog, it is no longer possible to set a redundant border for thumbnail and framed images.
  • There is a new Template Documentation Editor for TemplateData.  You can test it by editing a documentation subpage (not a template page) at Mediawiki.org: edit mw:Template:Sandbox/doc, and then click "Manage template documentation" above the wikitext edit box.  If your community would like to use this TemplateData editor at your project, please contact product manager James Forrester or file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.
  • There have been multiple small changes to the appearance:  External links are shown in the same light blue color as in MediaWiki.  This is a lighter shade of blue than the internal links.  The styling of the "Style text" (character formatting) drop-down menu has been synchronized with the recent font changes to the Vector skin.  VisualEditor dialogs, such as the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-savedialog⧽" dialog, now use a "loading" animation of moving lines, rather than animated GIF images.  Other changes were made to the appearance upon opening a page in VisualEditor which should make the transition between reading and editing be smoother.
  • The developers merged in many minor fixes and improvements to MediaWiki interface integration (e.g., edit notices), and made VisualEditor handle Education Program pages better.
  • At the request of the community, VisualEditor has been deployed to Commons as an opt-in. It is currently available by default for 161 Wikipedia language editions and by opt-in through Beta Features at all others, as well as on several non-Wikipedia sites.

Looking ahead:  The toolbar from the PageTriage extension will no longer be visible inside VisualEditor. More buttons and icons will be accessible from the keyboard.  The "Keyboard shortcuts" link will be moved out of the "Page options" menu, into the "Help" menu. Support for upright image sizes (preferred for accessibility) and inline images is being developed. You will be able to see the Table of Contents while editing. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. VisualEditor will be available to all users on mobile devices and tablet computers. It will be possible to upload images to Commons from inside VisualEditor.

If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on Thursday, 19 June 2014 at 10:00 UTC. If you'd like to get this newsletter on your own page (about once a month), please subscribe at w:en:Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Newsletter for English Wikipedia only or at meta:VisualEditor/Newsletter for any project.

MOS guidelines

By the MOSINTRO guidance, the lead section is suppose to succinctly summarize the article contents. So, if we are to take it by its word, this means we have to have background sections, even like the ones that I put into the albums articles that I create. This means the material must be in the body of the article as well not just in the lead. On the subject of saying negative/unfavorable, mixed/neutral, positive/favorable and acclaimed, it is not suppose to be done in the lead section of articles per the same guideline. This means we must report the charting positions with a few select ratings. I prefer the usage of magazines and notable webzines such as Jesus Freak Hideout, New Release Tuesday and Rapzilla. This is because we are not to be editorializing in the lead sections of articles. I would describe it as "just the facts and nothing else". I have violated it countless times, but I am trying to rectify my mistakes on future articles.HotHat (talk) 02:50, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I sometimes violate it too. Just FYI, when I wrote on your talk page about a background section, I merely meant that it should not be a restatement of the lead, not that one should not be included (unless you can't find enough sources to adequately supply a background section). Also, just to clarify, the MOS guidelines don't mean that we shouldn't mention the critical reception, but that specific details should be given, i.e. "Grammy-award-winning" or "positively received, with blank considering the best album blank's career." Don't worry, I've had to learn this all too, mostly through trial-and-error. This a lot of what Wikipedia:Ignore all rules is about.--¿3family6 contribs 17:32, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A personal aside

As you mentioned somewhere, it's just accident that you reviewed two different DYK nominations that I made, and perhaps by now you're wishing to God (or whatever being, beings or spirits you believe in) that you hadn't. I do think you're mistaken re the sourcing in the Gleason article, and if we were just having a normal discussion, on the article Talk page, of normal article development, I'm sure we'd work it out.

My beef, however, is not with you, but with certain people (or, actually, just one I've run into a coupla times recently) who impose their personal views about what DYK articles should look like -- views not in the DYK rules (and in some cases not even in FA rules -- see my most recent post to the DYK nom page) -- and apparently have done so sufficiently often that by mere dint of repetition well-meaning people like you have come to the natural conclusion that these views are appropriate. Things are getting pissy so I wanted to tell you, as an aside, that I'm sorry you're getting exposed to a lot of pissiness not related to anything for which you should be blamed. EEng (talk) 07:47, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I know that you're not upset with me, I've been trying to just move on past all of that.--¿3family6 contribs 13:04, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Metallica image

Hello. I've noticed that you have returned the old Metallica image. I've originally omitted it because I think an image of the band actually performing would better fit the article. The alternatives you've offered, photos of Slayer and Anthrax, won't do the job because we need a picture of the band explained in the caption. It would be nice if you can find a photo with a higher resolution, but till then, I believe the previous one would serve better.--Retrohead (talk) 15:25, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if I can, seeing as I contributed to the article. I'm also going to add some more bands to the list, so that further creates a COI problem. I can comment, but I cannot support or oppose.--¿3family6 contribs 19:14, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nevermind the FAC invitation (haven't noticed that you contributed to the page). Please see if you can add some other bands there.--Retrohead (talk) 19:18, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me for being a boring nerd, but I think the current image caption is partially repeating with the second sentence from the prose. As far as I understood you, you don't mind which band is illustrated as long as the photo is in high quality. That said, can I revert to the first Metallica image with a description of their complex song structures?--Retrohead (talk) 22:03, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think a certain amount of redundancy is fine, but I don't care one way or the other. I just want to make sure that the pic is a high quality one. You could just as well change the description to note how Anthrax broke away from the traditional thrash metal sound (like the previous description for Metallica said) by adding influences from hip-hop and alternative metal.--¿3family6 contribs 22:08, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

List of thrash metal bands

Hi. Can you avoid using "early" as a time navigation? In that case, it would be logical to place the same tag next to Metallica and Anthrax. And one more thing, incorporating death metal bands who intended to play thrash before they formed is not a good inclusion [2]. Another act described as "melodic progressive black metallers" (whatever genre that is) who only played a "mix of thrash and death" on one LP won't do it either.--Retrohead (talk) 17:55, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think your continuing efforts in these articles have shown the merit in my challenging many of the PRODs. You have saved more articles with your effort. I also have to thank you for clarifying the difference between Cross Rhythms and the two refs I supplied at Overwhelmed.
  • I would like further clarification for my further search for RS candidates at ccm/s which are usuable for .au: At Oceans EP AfD you give a ref at Cross Rhythms here, how is this better than advertising at, say, Koorong, here for Overwhelmed? The two seem very similar to my uneducated eye.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:04, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • The Koorong review is explicitly for the purpose of advertising the album - it appears only in the product listing. The CR news item, while unattributed, is by the CR news division, not the CR store. Yes, there is a link to the store, but 1) the link is for that artist in general, not the particular album, 2) the news item is written in a neutral manner, and 3) the news item is not a product listing, unlike the Koorong source. Koorong is intentionally trying to advertise the album, the Cross Rhythms article is merely letting you know that the Cross Rhythms Store has products by that artist. Can you see the difference?--¿3family6 contribs 00:56, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about Experiencing Worship itself, but this is a promotional/advertising style review, and I don't see any author attributed to it.--¿3family6 contribs 01:24, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'll go with your experience (pardon the bad pun) in such matters. What about here for an archive of CCM Record Reviews? This claims the magazine has rated/reviewed numerous Hillsong albums. The Hills Praise review is not authored.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:32, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Who did the original review?--¿3family6 contribs 01:37, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This archive site doesn't give that detail. It claims the review was published in April 1998, a wayback machine search of CCM Online only goes back to January 1999, while one at ht.salemweb.net only goes back to 2001 pdfs.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:46, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, so it's quoting excerpts from CCM Magazine? If it is indeed a quote from CCM Magazine, you should probably mention that on the deletion debate, so that we at least know that the review is out there.--¿3family6 contribs 02:16, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It claims to be citing from CCM but I'm not sure of Paul Ganney/ganney.net site's status wrt rs. It doesn't give a page number for the review, but can the review be used as an offline source? Ganney seems to run a fanzine and claims to have published numerous works.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 03:07, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't use it as a source in the article, but you should mention it on the deletion page as it indicates that there is a print review in existence (per WP:Verifiability, sources need not be in an article, they only need exist).--¿3family6 contribs 12:57, 30 June 2014 (UTC) [reply]

Your recent research on these albums have been absolutely amazing! Thank you! Jair Crawford (talk) 03:59, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

VisualEditor global newsletter—June 2014

The character formatting menu

Did you know?

The character formatting menu, or "Style text" menu lets you set bold, italic, and other text styles. "Clear formatting" removes all text styles and removes links to other pages.

Do you think that clear formatting should remove links? Are there changes you would like to see for this menu? Share your opinion at MediaWiki.org.

The user guide has information about how to use VisualEditor.

The VisualEditor team is mostly working to fix bugs, improve performance, reduce technical debt, and other infrastructure needs. You can find on Mediawiki.org weekly updates detailing recent work.

  • They have moved the "Keyboard shortcuts" link out of the "Page options" menu, into the "Help" menu. Within dialog boxes, buttons are now more accessible (via the Tab key) from the keyboard.
  • You can now see the target of the link when you click on it, without having to open the inspector.
  • The team also expanded TemplateData: You can now add a parameter type  "date" for dates and times in the ISO 8601 format, and  "boolean" for values which are true or false. Also, templates that redirect to other templates (like {{citeweb}} → {{cite web}}) now get the TemplateData of their target (bug 50964). You can test TemplateData by editing mw:Template:Sandbox/doc.
  • Category: and File: pages now display their contents correctly after saving an edit (bug 65349, bug 64239)
  • They have also improved reference editing: You should no longer be able to add empty citations with VisualEditor (bug 64715), as with references. When you edit a reference, you can now empty it and click the "use an existing reference" button to replace it with another reference instead. 
  • It is now possible to edit inline images with VisualEditor. Remember that inline images cannot display captions, so existing captions get removed. Many other bugs related to images were also fixed.
  • You can now add and edit {{DISPLAYTITLE}} and __DISAMBIG__ in the "Page options" menu, rounding out the full set of page options currently planned.
  • The tool to insert special characters is now wider and simpler.

Looking ahead

The VisualEditor team has posted a draft of their goals for the next fiscal year. You can read them and suggest changes on MediaWiki.org.

The team posts details about planned work on VisualEditor's roadmap. You will soon be able to drag-and-drop text as well as images. If you drag an image to a new place, it won't let you place it in the middle of a paragraph. All dialog boxes and windows will be simplified based on user testing and feedback. The VisualEditor team plans to add autofill features for citations. Your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted. Support for upright image sizes is being developed. The designers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments and adding rows and columns to tables.

Supporting your wiki

Please read VisualEditor/Citation tool for information on configuring the new citation template menu, labeled "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽". This menu will not appear unless it has been configured on your wiki.

If you speak a language other than English, we need your help with translating the user guide. The guide is out of date or incomplete for many languages, and what's on your wiki may not be the most recent translation. Please contact me if you need help getting started with translation work on MediaWiki.org.

VisualEditor can be made available to most non-Wikipedia projects. If your community would like to test VisualEditor, please contact product manager James Forrester or file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.

Please share your questions, suggestions, or problems by posting a note at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on Saturday, 19 July 2014 at 21:00 UTC (daytime for the Americas and Pacific Islands) or on Thursday, 14 August 2014 at 9:00 UTC (daytime for Europe, Middle East, Asia).

Some more stuff

Dear editor 3family6, I just created Hope in Front of Me by Danny Gokey. On another note, I am thinking of putting up for deletion Southern Tracks and Carry Me Home by Third Day, but I am requesting your opinion on the matter first before I go ahead.HotHat (talk) 07:31, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

VERY nice!--¿3family6 contribs 13:01, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I just created Forever After by V. Rose.HotHat (talk) 13:04, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
HotHat I couldn't find anything for Carry Me Home except the JFH review - go ahead and nominate that one. For Southern Tracks, I found the following: [3], [4].--¿3family6 contribs 13:32, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Another tiresome proposal

I hope you'll do what you can to whip up some enthusiasm for Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know#3family6_made_me_do_it. I'm tired of being the guy making all the dead-on-arrival proposals. EEng (talk) 19:17, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Rambling Man

You may want to see my comment on the DYK talk page.HotHat (talk) 03:55, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have to say I lean toward The Rambling Man on this one - I found your arguments tenuous and difficult to follow. I know that TRM can be brash and borderline disruptive at times, but I really couldn't figure out what your complaint with them was.--¿3family6 contribs 21:27, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hope in Front of Me

I said that because the editor put pop music akin to CCM for a genre in the infobox not for pop rock, but on that subject see if you can confirm pop rock by sources. I think that I may have put that their by mistake, so check it out, will you? Thanks,HotHat (talk) 15:29, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So, I take it Christian pop should be listed instead of CCM if you want pop in the genre field.HotHat (talk) 17:36, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That should work, yes! I don't think I actually saw CCM listed anywhere. :)--¿3family6 contribs 17:37, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
