Welcome to Wikipedia. An article you recently created, Subliminal Army, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already).

Re: Transfers section

[edit]

You may have spent time creating it, but that is not my concern. If people want to view the latest transfers, they can go to the List of English football transfers 2007-08 article. It was determined ages ago that club articles are not the appropriate place to list the latest transfers. Please don't add a section like that again. - PeeJay 12:05, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(Copying reply from the article talk page in case it gets deleted before you see it there...)
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a band directory. We have to draw a line somewhere, else we'd be inundated by articles on every crappy band on six continents. (I'd even say seven, but this band from Antarctica actually made the cut) As it is, we delete dozens of band articles per day. The standards in WP:MUSIC are the community's consensus on where that line should be, and they are generally in line with the notability standards we keep on other subjects. You are welcome to discuss these standards on the appropriate page, but I wouldn't expect any major changes. The BBC link is better than a lot of bands can claim, but it still consists primarily of the band talking about themselves and not of an independent writer looking in from the outside, which would make it a far better reference. Also, there are thousands of "Battle of the Bands" competitions out there--winning a BotB simply does not justify having an article here, finishing second even less so.
Let me know if you have further questions. Take care. --Finngall talk 17:27, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If they do become big, then an article here will certainly be welcome. Thanks for your understanding, and happy editing! --Finngall talk 17:34, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tiverton Town history section

[edit]

I have removed the "History" section you added to the Tiverton Town F.C. article as it was a direct copyright violation from the official Tiverton Town website. If you wish to include this information, please re-write it in your own words, with reference to other sources as well. All Wikipedia content must be free from copyright restrictsions under the GFDL licence. - fchd 14:28, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man, I could use your help with this article. User:Matty4123 and an anon keep adding a ramshackle "Season overview" section to the article, which I am vehemently opposed to for various reasons as detailed in my edit summaries. As you can probably tell, I've used up my three reverts on that article for today, so if you wouldn't mind taking up the cause, I'd be much obliged. – PeeJay 21:26, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh and its a wikipedia guidline which sais its got to be US not U.S., just a tips. But seriously don't revert my edits on the velvet revolver discography i know what i'm doing i have four featured lists, three of them are discographies. :) --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 13:51, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No discography can be nominated with a b-side section. I don't make the rules okay. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 14:17, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at the Queens of the Stone Age discography, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden discography. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 15:10, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to invite you to the WikiProject Rock music and you can have more then ten chart positions on the Wolfmother discography, if you want any help with it just ask me. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 11:07, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

[edit]

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. It is considered rude not to use an edit summary. Edits without an edit summary are subject to being reverted or deleted. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 17:26, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jimi Hendrix albums

[edit]

First of all, I'm quite impressed with all of the work you've put into the Jimi Hendrix articles, especially his discography (that could be featured with enough cleanup). I was wondering if you considered the following albums to be notable (I haven't seen them on the Jimi Hendrix template or discography page):

Thanks for your input, Xnux the Echidna 16:41, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you created List of Muse awards. It should be ready for WP:FLC soon; I'm wondering if any work is being done on it to get it there? It just needs a little more work and then it's done. Great work on the list so far! Gary King (talk) 14:37, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mind if I work on it then nominate with you guys? I normally wouldn't do this but as naerii already knows, Muse is my favorite band ;) Gary King (talk) 19:50, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Charting of Oasis Singles

[edit]

A little food for thought, when someone adds notes with citations from Billboard, showing that Oasis singles Champagne Supernova and Lyla didn't chart the Billboard Hot 100, don't dismiss them without looking into it. Because I'd like for you to explain how a single (Lyla) can chart #108 on a list made up of 100 singles?

I suggest you go and read Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles and perhaps think of restoring the truth back into the article, not only what you assume to be true.

I also suggest you read Hot 100 Airplay and see the difference between Billboard Hot 100 and Airplay.

You do a pretty good job with discographies in Wiki, but I think you need to understand the charts better before dismissing a fellow editor's changes.

See here a listing for Champagne Supernova's charting, you'll see no mention of Hot 100, only Airplay: http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/esearch/searchResult.jsp?exp=y&Ne=4&inert=25&Ntt=Champagne+Supernova&Ntk=Keyword&an=bbcom&nor=10&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&N=37#pos25

The same goes for Lyla, only bubbling under: http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/esearch/searchResult.jsp?exp=y&Ntt=Lyla+Oasis&Ntk=Keyword&an=bbcom&nor=10&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&N=37

Re:Signature

[edit]

Well to make a signature you are going to have to know wikicodes, like <span style="color:red;">Text goes here</span> then you just use codes like that and create a nifty signature and you publish it in a subpage and then you go to preferences and you add that page in your raw signature box. Best.--SRX 23:15, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to interupt your conversation here, but ask This user to make one he will definatly do it for you. SteelersFan94 23:35, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wolfmother references

[edit]

I noticed at Wolfmother discography's FLC there's some problem with references. One of them is the band's official bio. The article appears to use the oldsite bio which is relevant to 2006 and requires the user to input/click on a number with the flash format being used on the website. Did you try a search string containing the phrase in the first sentence? I found Wolfmother bio (note in PDF format) by Googling it. It seems more recent, up to 2007 Grammy.

Furthermore there is a link on the PDF which leads to Modular People site, there you can find a Wolfmother page. I have no idea if this is reliable or not but will let you investigate further.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 22:52, 30 September 2008 (UTC) (added note about PDF format)Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 22:58, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DYK nomination

[edit]

Hi. I've nominated One Rainy Wish, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article here, where you can improve it if you see fit. Bruce1eetalk 05:33, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pleasure. If it's approved it should be listed on the Main Page within (roughly) the next 3 to 5 days. --Bruce1eetalk 08:35, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for One Rainy Wish

[edit]
Updated DYK query On May 30, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article One Rainy Wish, 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.

Many thanks for writing the Noel Redding Band page and related discography--an important piece of music history, in my view. If you have a moment and an interest, could you please take at look at Music From Free Creek, with a view to improving same. I'm not putting it into perspective, I feel.

Many thanks again for the quality of your contributions.

Wolfmother is Psychadelic Rock

[edit]

Bonjour!,

I really do think they are more really a psychadelic rock band like Hendrix and Blue Cheer etc,

but I think u could have both, u just need references yeah?

The talk page, had a mix of stuff, but I do believe that it should be included,

Hard Rock is more like the live Mid 60s Who... The "Hard Rock" label had more to do

with critics making bad comparisons. I guess there kinda same same, guess it doesn't matter.

But the label was more specific to the sound... Meh —Preceding unsigned comment added by Akadaks (talkcontribs) 09:52, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know anything about "Connecticut Tribe"? Rockgenre (talk) 01:14, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Not quite. They are both the same album just under a different name, but the credits only on Orgasm list "Connecticut Tribe". Since this is such an obscure group it's unlikely that we will find out whether this was a backing group. "Connecticut Tribe" is credited for some of the songwriting, background vocals, and sound on Orgasm. But someone who posted a video for "Caledonia" on Youtube has said, "They said that they had a Connecticut tribe with which they would bring to fruition the ideas that they needed to express... the ultimate theme being "all is one" ESP gave them engineer Otto Schontze and some studio time. For three days they labored to fulfill their musical dream...producing an album titled "Orgasm", which they credited to Cromagnon. It was released in 1969. There actually was a Connecticut tribe of sorts, a typical hippie commune of the day, with several children included". I don't know how true that is, but do you think we should include this "Connecticut Tribe" under members? Rockgenre (talk) 19:23, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
