User talk:IllaZilla

I didn't see POV, I thought I saw a good edit.

Could you explain what was POV about the article. Maybe I don't understand punk rock enough; my expertise is in electronic music, although I like punk rock to some extent. I know there's something I'm missing. Lighthead...KILLS!! 16:06, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

The IP removed information on the Violent Femmes without giving a reason (the edit summary was a vague "more accurately"), leaving only the mention of the Pogues which was already there anyway. Therefore I assumed they removed mention of the Violent Femmes based on some personal bias or point of view (they don't like them, or don't think they were as important as the Pogues). On further investigation, the source cited at the end of the sentence mentions only the Pogues, so I wouldn't fight it if the mention of the Violent Femmes were removed again. --IllaZilla (talk) 16:54, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Whatever, it doesn't actually sound that bad the way you left it. On review it seems like it leaves more information. :) Lighthead...KILLS!! 17:02, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Good Job but...

As the section title says good job but your attitude is arrogant, not only that but then you tried to lecture someone with no attitude, who was trying to help clean up the Alien creature article, about having an attitude. So in conclusion, keep going but leave the cockiness somewhere else. Because we don't need it here.

Eh? Would you be more specific? Perhaps provide a link or a diff of whatever edit of mine you had an issue with. I haven't made a significant edit to Alien (creature in Alien franchise) since June 22 so I'm not sure what you're talking about. I'm also not accepting attitude lessons, particularly from someone who's been here 3 months. --IllaZilla (talk) 14:11, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Editor's Barnstar
	Never doubted your edits :) I was making the number change as it was raised at GA nom of Oh Love and I've seen few article with that. Anyhow, gone through your edits and I discovered that you deserve this star! You are doing great and I hope that you'll be there to help. Cheers! TheSpecialUser TSU 14:35, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! If I could remember where the guideline was that says to use "no." for chart positions, I'd link it. I'm sure it's buried somewhere within WP:ALBUMS. It's so common that there's been a bot going around changing all instances of "#" formatted positions to "no.", for example "#21" → "no. 21". I appreciate your work on the articles as well. --IllaZilla (talk) 14:44, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

TSOL

That's not an original research, the reviewer quoted is truly wrong, see the article Property is theft!. As Marx suggested Proudhon this sentence was silly, this quote is everything but a communist speech. Therefore, it isn't true to say that TSOL were unclear about their beliefs : they were openly anarchists Arnoklephoque (talk) 11:52, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Your opinion of the reviewer's comment is irrelevant. Side notes of your own analysis disguised as references are inappropriate. --IllaZilla (talk) 17:58, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Siouxsie and the Banshees reviews

Hi,

I just went through the rest of the articles for Siouxsie and the Banshees studio albums and put the Allmusic reviews back into the ones that you didn't revert. I left a message on Carliertwo's talk page asking him to please see this before he removes them again though something tells me it won't do any good. Apparently I'm not the only one who has had a problem with this guy. In any case, I wanted to thank you for reverting his edit to Join Hands. It gave me a little less work to do. Thanks. Shaneymike (talk) 01:32, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Good work. I'm not a Siouxie fan, I just put Join Hands on my watchlist after having a related dispute with Carliertwo at Control (2007 film). I'll keep an eye on it for a while just to see if Carliertwo does the same thing again. --IllaZilla (talk) 02:31, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

I also saw that Carliertwo had deleted a warning that Yankees76 posted on his talk page. I left him a message telling him that he cannot necessarily do that as would be interpreted as hostile. I knew this because another editor had to tell me the same thing way back when. If I can grow up, hopefully Carliertwo can as well. Shaneymike (talk) 02:39, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Allmusic

Hey its me again from Blink-182 discussion, could you put some Input about Allmusic's sidebox genres and Sidbox genres itself here [1] Thanks Ericdeaththe2nd (talk) 15:46, 26 August 2012 (UTC)Ericdeaththe2nd

Aliens

Hi. Regarding your removal of the Michael Biehn photo, I've opened a discussion on that article's talk page so that others interested may discuss it. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 23:23, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Regarding your removal of the photo from The Terminator article, I'm not sure in what way you feel a photo has to "speak to the article text", but the photo is relevant to the Home video section, in which it was placed. It's certainly more relevant than a photo of Schwarzenegger shaking hands with Ronald Reagan in the Release section, simply because that encounter occurred "two months before release". Nightscream (talk) 23:33, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Regarding your statement in your last edit summary about left-aligned images, I read Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images, and what it says (in this portion of the latter) is that left-aligned images shouldn't be at the top of a section (it doesn't specify the header level), but somewhere after the first paragraph. So you were on the right track. Thanks for letting me know about that. Seven and a half years here, and I'm still learning things. :-) Nightscream (talk) 01:09, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Re: User:BEATWEAKer

Thanks for handling the situation with BEATWEAKer (talk · contribs) so well. I generally don't try to reason with these types of editors (genre warring is a pain to deal with) but I respect those who do. I was the one who put him on the AIV board (so I'm to blame for him being blocked right after you posted on his page) but I was starting to question whether I should have done that considering his edits had shifted in a more reasonable direction. Anyway, hopefully after 72 hours the user will be making constructive edits. So kudos for all the good work you've been doing on music-based articles. Cheers! Friginator (talk) 00:12, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I hope BEATWEAKer's behavior changes. I left them that message because, like you, I noticed their edits had shifted in a more reasonable direction (at least providing some sources). Usually I just revert genre warriors outright and leave templated warnings, but on the rare occasion when they show some improvement I try to give them a nudge in the right direction. BEATWEAKer seems to be off on the wrong foot (they've also uploaded copyrighted album covers and promotional photos to Commons, which I've had to nominate for speedy deletion), but in general they seem to mean well and can hopefully be shown the right way to deal with this sort of stuff. --IllaZilla (talk) 00:19, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Poll to Remove Ratings info boxes for all the Siouxsie and the Banshees albums

Refactoring talk pages

this is what is written on wp:Refactoring talk pages

Refactoring should only be done when there is an assumption of good faith by editors who have contributed to the talk page. If there are recent heated discussions on the talk page, good faith may be lacking. If another editor objects to refactoring then the changes should be reverted. Nevertheless, if the page is larger than the recommended size, then archiving of the talk page, or sections with no recent contributions, without refactoring can still be done.

I object so don't change anything in my edits on Talk:control.

Carliertwo (talk) 4 September 2012 15:03

Object all you want, your changes make the conversation much more difficult to follow. WP:TALK permits refactoring in such cases. I'm pretty sure we're done at that talk page anyway; not a single person has supported your position, and I plan to keep editing down the plot summary to somewhere in the 550-word range. --IllaZilla (talk) 14:29, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

The Underground: Issue 1 (August/September 2012)

Column-generating template families

The templates listed here are not interchangeable. For example, using {{col-float}} with {{col-end}} instead of {{col-float-end}} would leave a <div>...</div> open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting.

Column templates

Type	Family	Handles wiki table code?†	Responsive/ mobile suited	Start template	Column divider	End template
Float	"col-float"	Yes	Yes	{{col-float}}	{{col-float-break}}	{{col-float-end}}
	"columns-start"	Yes	Yes	{{columns-start}}	{{column}}	{{columns-end}}
Columns	"div col"	Yes	Yes	{{div col}}	–	{{div col end}}
	"columns-list"	No	Yes	{{columns-list}} (wraps div col)	–	–
Flexbox	"flex columns"	No	Yes	{{flex columns}}	–	–
Table	"col"	Yes	No	{{col-begin}}, {{col-begin-fixed}} or {{col-begin-small}}	{{col-break}} or {{col-2}} .. {{col-5}}	{{col-end}}

^† Can template handle the basic wiki markup {| | || |- |} used to create tables? If not, special templates that produce these elements (such as {{(!}}, {{!}}, {{!!}}, {{!-}}, {{!)}})—or HTML tags (<table>...</table>, <tr>...</tr>, etc.)—need to be used instead.

Chixdiggit!

Hi IllaZilla. The RM discussion on the talk page resulted in no consensus to move. It was noted that even on the band's website it was written without the exclamation mark in running text. Also, I just did a search of various newspapers and magazines, and found that in most cases it was written without the punctuation. I think it should probably go through another Requested Move before it is moved. Regards, Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 00:07, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

I guess I should've checked the talk page first, but still it seems pretty cut & dry to me. Literally every album cover has it rendered Chixdiggit! (with the exclamation point). I think that renders most other arguments moot. It's unsurprising that most newspapers/magazines don't include the punctuation, as they often ignore punctuation in proper nouns. To me this seems similar to Portugal. The Man, Panic! at the Disco, and other artist articles which we have titled with the punctuation intact. --IllaZilla (talk) 03:43, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

I see where you're coming from, but I don't actually think it's so cut and dry. I've reverted, and added a note at Talk:Chixdiggit, as other editors might also want to weigh in. Thanks, Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 16:11, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Predator (film)

We had a couple of edit conflicts. I'm headed off line for a couple of hours to run errands. If you have time you can do the edits and I'll take a look this evening.

I'll mainly be looking at that one scene where Dutch sends Anna off to see if it's clear Dutch has figured out the part about unarmed people. FWIW, the thermal imaging never highlighted weapons and Anna seemed to be as much as a "blob" as the armed humans. As it is, I thought it was silly that they showed them as blobs. Had it been real the creature likely saw detail as well as or better than humans. It certainly could spot nearly invisible tripwires. That roving creature we have on Mars at present has broad spectrum imaging that can resolve grains of talcum powder. :-) --Marc Kupper|talk 18:29, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Can you explain me unexplained changes?
