Talk:Klayton

Birth date
I removed it because he stated in an interview with Informatia de Severin that April 14th, 1970 is not his date of birth. As far as when his date of birth actually is, he isn't telling. 5gumchewer (talk) 07:34, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Other sources say he was born in 1963. Is it possible he is nearly 50 now? wow. 87.252.238.115 (talk) 12:20, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

AND HE IS ALSO A MIDGET —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.150.187.25 (talk) 04:27, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Bio edit 5/2/09
I removed the following to the talk page here primarily because it seems rather fishy to me - the mid 90s were a time when Klayton was itching to get out of the Christian music business, and I have a hard time believing he'd be working for both a Christian bookstore and radio station at that time, but if you have a source, please list it. ---BrentonRyan (talk) 21:23, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

"In the mid 90s, he worked as the music buyer for New Covenant Christian Bookstore in Farmingdale, New York, and was the host of the radio show "Morning Star" on WUSB, which focused primarily on Christian alternative music like Breakfast with Amy, The 77's and LSU."

References, Notability
Since this article was recently tagged, I am currently rewriting it under my userpage in an effort to streamline it, pare it down, and add numerous sources to prevent deletion. BrentonRyan (talk) 11:24, 15 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright, my revision is posted. There are a handful of facts marked with "citation needed" that I haven't been able to track down yet, please provide if you have them. --BrentonRyan (talk) 21:43, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

"He is also a Midget"?
I edited the meaningless edit that someone else wrote that Klayton is a midget, which is obviously untrue. Please be careful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Radomu (talk • contribs) 15:54, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Timeline (I Made Minor Changes)
I fixed some spelling errors, made it easier to read, and added:

1989 Speedcore Demo as "Justified Rebellion" (mentioned in White Throne Magazine)

2005 Remixing and Producing 2 Beathing Underwater Song.

As far as album tracklistings go, we need to set up album pages instead of outside linking. We also need to set this up in a format similar to other artists on wikipedia. 68.63.248.123 20:17, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Age of Klayton
Could somebody say me, how old he is? Nowhere is any sign of his age or birthsday.

Christian?
I can't help but notice he's in the category of American Christians, but there's no references listed or any mention made what-so-ever of why he belongs in that category. As such, until someone can back it up in the article itself, I'm removing that category. 69.14.85.112 19:42, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Here is an article/interview (http://www.hmmagazine.com/exclusive/circle_of_dust200306/index.php?page=1) that explains what his feeling are about that subject. He was signed with several Christian record labels and performed at multiple christian concerts and tours. He also mentions playing at several christian clubs as well. But it sounds like he got burned by the record companies and got tired of always being condemed by one side or the other. Basically no one happy, so he decided to remove himself from that scene. A lot of "Circle of Dust" stuff is considered to be christian music by quite a few people. So take what you will from that. I will say this about it though. Why would anyone sign a record contract with a christian label, agree to do christian concerts/festivals (Cornerstone, etc.) and play in christian clubs unless you were already leaning that way with your music. Protektor35 (talk)
 * Additionally, the original release of Circle of Dust is very explicit in christain tones in the thanks section. That was 1992, whatever he feels about it now is anyone's guess, he simply will not answer questions about it (I tried).18abruce (talk) 16:18, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Four Song Wonder
Removed the statement about him making all his money on only 4 songs. I have most of his stuff and it simply isn't the case. His Bio (http://www.celldweller.com/2007/bio.html) would seem to indicate that he is more sucessful than just 4 songs. I also noticed that one of his songs is used in one of the Iron Man trailers, also a Speed Racer trailer, The Last Legion, and Spider-Man 3. Protektor35 (talk)

Pendulum Remix
I added the fact that in 2008 he remixed Pendulum's "Propane Nightmares" which was released via Pendulum's album "In Silico" although i don't know how to link Pendulum to the page 'Pendulum (band)', so it is currently linked to the page about the object, pendulum —Preceding unsigned comment added by Speighticus (talk • contribs) 23:33, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * To make a wikilink that points to a different page than it says, format it like Text in link . For example, the link Pendulum appears as Pendulum, but links to the band site. --  Kingoomieiii ♣    Talk    13:02, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Sponsored album.
Sounds like advertising, but actually isn't. He really did release a sponsored album, and the bot reverted the bloody thing.

Birth date
The intro has April 14, 1970, the Infobox musical artist has December 25, 1968, and finally the article is in Category:1963 births. So what is it? Is there an interview confirming it? :) – gRegor (talk • contribs) 23:21, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Discography
The discography seems to be missing two key entries: The Brainchild Mindwarp album was released in 1992, additionally the self-titled Circle of Dust album was re-released in 1995 with seven remixed songs, and three new songs (bed of nails would make it four I guess). Is there a tidy way of presenting them in the lists? I also think it is strange to list Metamorphosis as a Circle of Dust album, but that is nit picking I suppose.18abruce (talk) 21:51, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Legal Name
This calls into question a large amount of the page's content and should probably be investigated further:  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.157.102.50 (talk) 23:39, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Youtube is not a valid source. Please see WP:V. Boomer Vial (talk) 23:45, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
 * , according to WP:V, "Self-published and questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves." Klayton is a reliable source about himself, whether through YouTube or another platform.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me   &#124;  See what I have done  ) 04:47, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Note that there is a difference between a legal name and birth name. According to the infobox documentation, if Klayton's birth name was Scott Albert, that can be given in the "birth name" field, and Klayton would be listed under "aliases".-- 3family6 ( Talk to me   &#124;  See what I have done  ) 04:52, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, ok. You're absolutely sure that the edit in question doesn't violate WP:OR? Boomer Vial (talk) 20:57, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, because Klayton explicitly said that he no longer answers to the name Scott, and indicated that the birth date was also wrong.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me   &#124;  See what I have done  ) 21:02, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

FIXT Remix
Fixt Remix was revived last year with a contest to remix End of an Empire. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.9.87.65 (talk) 02:09, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

General Infobox discussion
I've edited the infobox to include be organized as legal name, birth name, stage names (such as his AP/CoD ones), as well as keeping just Celldweller (since that was his most common alias, and how most people know him by). "Krasniy" is the Russian word for "Red" (красный "krasnyy"), this nickname is from the VK community and NOT an official stage name of Klayton. The alias field is intended for listing official stage names, so those were what I tried to keep. Please review the information I rearranged and edited, hopefully it is alright!

I've also organized the associated acts by order of year, starting with Chatterbox and ending with FreqGen. I'm working simply with what the infobox for musical artist template has for describing each section, please let me know if this is not alright. cssc 20:05, 28 November 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Casshums (talk • contribs)
