Talk:Wumpscut

ad
 * According to Rudy Wumpscut is a fictional term with no meaning, although some people do interpret the prefix wump as womb.

Some people -- who? I can see the connection with fx. Embryodead but a source might be appropriate. -- Lady Lysine Ikinsile 21:44, Jun 10, 2004 (UTC)


 * I agree. "wump" is neither spelled, nor sounds anything like "womb". Why would anyone make that connection? And how does one "interpret" scut?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.155.134.43 (talk) 02:52, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

As per discussion on Talk:Assemblage 23 and Category talk:Goth, removing from Category:Goth and adding to List of non-goth musical artists popular within goth subculture. - Korpios 02:08, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Weyland-Yutani logo
"The logo for Wumpscut bears a strking resemblance to the logo for the fictional Weyland-Yutani corporation of Alien lore."

Ratzinger actually said in an magazine interview a few years back (possibly Kerrang, I remember I only brought it because it mentioned the Wumpscut interview) that they managed to secure licensing for the audio samples they used from Aliens series of films from Fox; he's always been a fan of them and the use of the logo is a direct tribute. I can't find an online version of this interview so I'm not going to add it, just thought you may be interested in those little facts! CitrusC 04:27, 29 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I just remember I mailed him long time ago, asking if the logo had something to do with Aliens. He wrote that he doesn't remember where that logo came from. Funny.217.230.248.101 (talk) 00:18, 14 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Maybe he said that because of the copyright issue. He uses a ton of Aliens samples in a lot of songs. He is clearly some sort of fan... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.155.134.43 (talk) 02:55, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

re the merge
Wumpscut: is what you get when you type ":Wumpscut:" into the search box and hit go. the text on Wumpscut: is just a straight copy of the content here which is "Copyright © 2001-2005, Metropolis Records. All rights reserved". i'm not that hot on copyright or anything so does anyone know if using the text verbatim is a big no-no or if there any kind of fair use thingy? other than that i don't see any reason why the info on the metropolis site can't be incorperated in some originally worded way into Wumpscut. --MilkMiruku 15:24, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

I think everything submitted has to be submitted under the GPL. If the copy was submitted by the person who writed the original content, it's OK. Otherwise it has to go. Obviously, being record label promotional stuff it isn't exactly NPOV either. :S GeorgeBills

Ugh. "writed the original content". :S GeorgeBills


 * Wumpscut: is currently marked as a copyvio, so I'd tread carefully here. Saberwyn 00:44, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Wumpscut spelling
I'd prefer to change all entries of :Wumpscut: (with capital letter) to minuscule, cause that's how it's actually spelled -> :wumpscut: --Shandris 11:17, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Fixed for you.--Aleron235 18:59, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Picture of their logo would be nice, too --Shandris 22:35, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Are you sure? Their website has :Wumpscut: everywhere -- look on http://www.betondisco.de/about.html for instance. 78.86.151.120 13:38, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It is true that the name is capitalized in many places on the site. However, there are multiple albums in which the name is lower case (Wreath of Barbs, Music For A Slaughtering Tribe, etc.) on the package art.  The other albums that I had the script was such that you could not really tell.  Another thought is how much influence/interest in the text on that site.  They may just design it on a high level, and not scour the text for such things.  I think we should default to the album art, as I expect they have much more interest in it's style.  So I vote for lower case.--–m.f (t • c) 14:01, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Why? Why? Why???
Can someone explain why W turned to shit after Embryodead? Did an alien suck Rudy's brain out? Did he get married? What? -- noosph e re 03:03, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Your opinion on the matter is your own, though it is probably better to leave such discussion to a music discussion forum. For the record many artists change their style over time, and naturally not all of their fans are going to appreciate it. Avador 23:09, 4 August 2006 (UTC)


 * What was behind W's drastic style change? That is the question.  -- noosph e re 00:15, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


 * That's really a question to be asked of Rudy, not of his fans.Blutpanzer 01:57, 28 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I was always of the opinion that Born Again (Wumpscut) was a high point and everything else before and after it was for the most part shit. Sure, the other albums would have one or 2 good songs but they were largely noise music crap after that.. kind of like Skinny Puppy after the 80s ended.--Dr who1975 (talk) 05:44, 17 April 2008 (UTC)


 * afaik, Wreath Of Barbs is what is considered a turning point in :w:'s style --Duke B. Garland (talk) 15:04, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Link with the Kauhajoki shooting incident
Is this section really necessary? There is no link between the incident and Wumpscut other than the fact that the shooter liked their music. mozyr (talk) 21:33, 24 September 2008 (UTC)


 * It is probably worth a main article link unless people strongly disagree. It is not intended to imply that the German band is in any way responsible for the shooting. -- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 21:37, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * NoJanderVK (talk) 15:43, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, how about a see also, which is very brief?-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 16:44, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Discography
Does anyone else think it'd be a good idea to give this band their own discography page? I mean look at that section. It's huge and a bit difficult to read. 90.219.3.16 (talk) 17:47, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * That's probably a really good idea. It's way too long and most articles only include a "selected discography" for artists. Spearhead the crap out of that initiative. 74.201.136.2 (talk) 20:25, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree. At a certain point it just makes a whole lot more sense, simply from an organizational standpoint. --–m.f (t • c) 20:37, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I would not recommend creating a Discography Page unless someone is willing to make articles out of every single entry in said discography. However, I would, at least, recommend sorting the list between Albums, EPs, Singles, Compilations, and Box Sets. As it is now, it's really hard to read, and even to tell what is what. 71.218.217.20 (talk) 21:35, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

bio?
Why is this page listed as a biography of a living person. There is virtually no biographical data about the lead singer outside of him performing here or there. It looks pretty silly to the average reader. 68.43.125.115 (talk) 09:19, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

MOS:TM
Hey, just to say I've started a discussion about how we should spell ":wumpscut:"/"Wumpscut" in light of MOS:TM at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Trademarks. &#8209;&#8209; Yodin T 16:55, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
 * You can look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs9kRF3ZLK4, helped me to pronounce it, maybe someone can add the pronounciation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seishin san (talk • contribs) 16:31, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Requested move 16 December 2016

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: moved. (non-admin closure) JudgeRM   (talk to me)  19:45, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

Wumpscut: → Wumpscut – The current title is an attempt to allow it to follow the artist's stylisation of the name, as ":wumpscut:". This completely fails MOS:TM, which says that names like this should be noted once in the lead, and then normal capitalisation & punctuation followed through the article. I started a discussion about this at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Trademarks (listed above) more than two weeks ago, and there's only been one response, agreeing to change to use "Wumpscut", so I've made the changes here and at Wumpscut discography; the only thing that still needs to be done is for this page to be renamed to Wumpscut over the existing redirect. &#8209;&#8209; Yodin T 18:01, 16 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Support. WP:MOSTM is clear and documents common practice, and this article should follow it. I doubt there will be any controversy here. 64.105.98.115 (talk) 19:35, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
