Curious
Hey, I was curious to know if you are going to work on any other major projects? If so can I know them and possibly help? &mdash; Burningclean &#91; Speak the truth! &#93; 04:55, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright, that sounds cool. And easy, its pretty short. &mdash; Burningclean &#91; Speak the truth! &#93; 16:02, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks. I'll have to add that. I'm busy with the Opeth FAC right now though. I can find time during the weekend. &mdash; Burningclean &#91; Speak the truth! &#93; 21:50, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know if you've seen, but I got Slayer discography to FLC. I think I am going to work on Dream Theater. &mdash; Burningclean &#91; Speak the truth! &#93; 22:50, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'm restarting the nom. It won't mean it failed but a reviewer might be scared off by 40KB of text in an FAC. &mdash; Burningclean &#91; Speak the truth! &#93; 19:53, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

You're right, I should contact him. Thanks for the info. On an off topic thing, I've noticed you have a problem with album cover images; here are some things that could help:

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Black Crowes Lions.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Black Crowes Lions.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:06, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Peer review/Six Feet Under (band)/archive1
M3tal H3ad and Skeletor have given the user a lot of general points to work on; I wouldn't want to overload Dark Executioner (who I've bumped into before, but I can't work out where). I've watchlisted the review, so I'll offer some advice once [s]he has dealt with the issues raised- primarily, the weak sourcing. J Milburn (talk) 20:03, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Dave Lombardo
What? this is the hundredth time I've said it, but i think it's Dave Lombardo time. An article in Decibel Magazine had the date of his marriage so it re-sparked my interest. I'm going to take a break from re-writing and try get DL, Damageplan and Aliens (film) to FA. Any help is appreciated :) In other news BFMV are coming here with A7X and Atreyu, probably the three most hated "trendy" bands? I like them anyway. Children of Bodom are coming a month later so should be good. M3tal H3ad (talk) 04:35, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Peer review/Irreplaceable/archive1
Are you not busy? Would you please see this peer review? Thanks. --Efe (talk) 09:37, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * If you ever have a free time and wants to review the article, please direct to its talk page. The peer review process was already closed. Thanks. --Efe (talk) 08:29, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Its fine. I know you're busy. Anyway, 17Drew indirectly inspired/influenced me to improve song-related articles. Seeing his briliant works are, should I say, wow. I intend to, since Gimme More's FAC, which fails, to seek assistance from him. Unfortunately, he is not around. Thanks for the reply. I know your good on this and am waiting for the "nit-picking process" on the discussion page. See yah and thanks in advance. --Efe (talk) 11:51, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. --Efe (talk) 12:17, 14 March 2008 (UTC)r
 * All comments were addressed. I am poor when it comes to prose and I believe I have to wait for your final review before heading to FAC. I might fail again, for the third time. Thanks. --Efe (talk) 13:03, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link. English, I think, is our second language. Yah, Indopug is great when it comes to FAC. I dropped a message on his talk page but he is busy right now. Salamat (Which means thank you in Filipino). =) --Efe (talk) 08:02, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Of course the one I am working right now. If ever this will be promoted, I will go for GAs in my page for FAC or to re-FAC "Deja Vu" and "Gimme More". If its fails, I will rework the article until it gets the star. --Efe (talk) 06:31, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Just passed the article. Comments/Supports/Opposes are welcomed. --Efe (talk) 07:10, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The article is now featured. Thanks for the help and leave me a message if you have more concerns. --Efe (talk) 01:45, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Would you mind looking at the Strapping Young Lad article, it's currently at peer review, if you happen to have some free time? And, of course, interested to some level. Thanks. Gocsa (talk) 17:09, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:HMM / FL
Not sure what you mean, sorry- the stars in the top right all say they are featured lists, none are linked to from the FA page and the talk page template says they are featured articles rather than lists, but from experience, not many templates differentiate. Would you like me to create parameters on the template so as to be able to list them as featured lists rather than featured articles? J Milburn (talk) 11:45, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I've updated the banner, the talk pages and Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Heavy Metal articles by quality statistics. Hopefully, the bot will recognise it, but others have FL in the table, so I'm sure it will. J Milburn (talk) 12:09, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks dude. I was wondering that myself but didn't give it enough thought. Burningclean  [speak]  21:37, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I've updated the template, but I haven't added any articles to the category. Once some pages have been added, we'll have to wait a few days and a bot should update the listing on the project page for us. J Milburn (talk) 23:22, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, and just so you know, the talk page template will accept 'l', 'L', 'list' and 'List' to put articles in this category. J Milburn (talk) 23:28, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:Lady in the Lake trial
Hey, there's just one last angle I want to get- there was a documentary released which had interviews with a lot of people who really believed he did it. A tutor of mine at college said he would lend me a DVD of it, so once I have seen and cited that, it's going to FAC. Thanks for the comments! J Milburn (talk) 12:13, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Take care
Hi, I am posting here on Wikipedia for the last time today as this user. I have had fun editing pages here, and have met some cool people, but I'm afraid that if I didn't retire from Wikipedia today, then I'd be doing it either on or near June 26th, 2008. Why? Because I am leaving for boot camp on that day to join the U.S. Navy.

Do not feel abandoned if you are someone that I have gotten to know a little here. I'm not doing this to be a dick, only because I have to. I really don't have much time to edit here anymore, since I'm so busy getting prepared physically and taking care of the month and a half of schoolwork that I have left.

If I ever get the chance to resume editing here someday... then I will.

Until then, this is Dark Executioner's last stand. Dark Executioner (talk) 19:10, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Action potential
Hey LM,

Roughly six weeks ago, you voted to Remove action potential as a Featured Article. Since then, the article has been completely re-written and referenced to the gills. It also does not seem to fail any definite MoS criteria, although there's been a little discussion of how many sections to have in the Table of Contents. We'll also keep trying to improve the article. Nevertheless, if you think it's worth keeping as an FA, now would be a good time to change your vote to Keep; otherwise, now would be a good time to explain what you find still lacking in the article. Thanks for taking the time to reconsider the article! :) Willow (talk) 18:49, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I have withdrawn my vote, given the fact my reasons were no longer valid. LuciferMorgan (talk) 18:55, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Black Sabbath peer review
Hey dude, I finished my first draft of the monolithic Black Sabbath article and put it up for peer review. I even used a source from your L.O.G interview(inadvertantly at first, then I saw the link and said, HEY! I know that name!) So you are officially a valid source! Anyway, if you have a sec could you take a look and let me know if you see anything there? Thanks \m/ Skeletor2112 (talk) 11:26, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:American Woman by The Guess Who.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:American Woman by The Guess Who.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

My mistake. I copy pasted that stuff from Tenacious D. I was the user who added the sources tag to the page - the article is in terrible shape - so I am not trying to subvert wiki processes. Thanks. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:52, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

For filling up my watchlist...

 * I've just redirected it, as that would probably be the result of the AfD anyway. I've watchlisted it, so if someone recreates it or reverts me (without showing why it's notable) I'll nominate it. J Milburn (talk) 16:17, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Noctifer
I've given the article a quick cleanup, and, though they aren't super-notable, I don't think they're too bad. I won't lose any sleep if someone else nominates it, but I'm personally not going to. J Milburn (talk) 10:28, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Black Metal
I have something I want help on bringing to FA class. Horna has the potential. There are many, many reviews of the band online, and the band has recorded many splits and other various albums. They have been in controversy and have a nice history too. I've started on the page but I need help as I don't have all the time in the world at the moment. (My uncle has lung cancer and has 6 weeks left) If you can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Now, onto the project. We are bickering because it's a new project and we need to get things straight. Just let it work itself out. XD Undeath (talk) 20:38, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

re: Strapping Young Lad FAC
No, I prefer to respond to editor remarks on the FAC page so everyone is aware of what comments are being made about the article and the review process. While I understand your frustration with the process, coming in and calling the review process "pathetic" and whatever else you said only serves to impugn the editors who volunteer their time to help get articles featured. It's also perfectly reasonable to question sources no one outside the metal community has heard of. If the consensus is that the sources are acceptable, I will walk away. And guess what? I will do so without calling the process pathetic. -- Laser brain  (talk)  14:00, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No one is questioning the interviews, per se. We are questioning the source.  If someone is posting information on a personal, self-published web page, we have no idea about the accuracy or reliability.  I would not question an interview printed in a reliable source with a reputation for fact-checking.  I understand you reserve the right to use whatever word you want to.  I am currently having a productive conversation with Gocsa, so I encourage you to join the effort to improve the sources if you're interested in seeing the article become featured.  That is the goal we are all working toward. -- Laser brain   (talk)  16:06, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello, members and friends of WP:LGBT! I'm not one to be writing newsletters, but I miss our cruise director, Miss Julie, and our project is drifting along with a few leaking plugs in the bottom of the boat. Hey, it happens. Every group we join goes through changes. If Wikipedia weren't so interesting it wouldn't also be so frustrating sometimes. And vice versa. More than one Wikiproject has tumbleweeds blowing through it, but this is one that can't afford to let that happen. Even if you pop in to the talk page of the project, you can let us know you're still around.

WP:LGBT's Role in HIV / AIDS articles
It wouldn't be a proper gay community without a li'l bit o' drama! That's right. If we aren't arguing about something, then we should be asking if we're still queer. Maybe that's for the best, since we know we're still kicking. Our most recent topic is how far the role of our project should go in dipping our toes into HIV/AIDS articles. The main AIDS article was delisted as a Featured Article last month, sadly. (Sending a swift kick to WP:Medicine.) A spirited discussion is available for your entertainment on the WP:LGBT talk page about just how much of HIV and AIDS should we take on. As ever, we'll take your opinions under advisement. We're going to have to, because it doesn't seem to have been settled.

Is Pride POV?
We have a pretty cool sidebar that identifies core LGBT articles. Its symbol is the iconic gay pride flag, much like other Wikiprojects have iconic symbols denoting the topic is a core subject in a series of articles. However, a question recently arose asking if the symbol itself is not neutral. Should a pride flag show up at the top of the article on Conversion therapy? How else would anyone know the article is about queer issues? Is there another symbol that is as widely recognized and that includes all our many splintered facets? At what point do we stop asking ourselves all these questions and just go have a mint julep on the verandah and stop caring?

Harvey Milk and Jim Jones
For the love of all that is holy, no Kool Aid jokes. However, an editor involved in pioneering San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk's article has included a section about the late supervisor's support of Jim Jones and the People's Temple. While it may be accurate, there is a Request for Comment regarding how much emphasis the section places on Milk's support in light of his overall political influence on the city, and indeed the rest of the United States. Milk's article is a sad one in more ways than one. It lacks the detail and heart that honors its subject. Anyone want to do a barter with me? I'll bring Harvey Milk to featured status (give me a month or two so I can read stuff), if you do something of equal value to WP:LGBT?? Make me an offer...

Queer Studies is offensive!
The established branch of study known as Queer studies was brought up as an category for deletion because an editor was offended by the use of "queer" in the title. It was overwhelmingly rejected mostly by the usernames I see here on our Wikiproject page. (A clue that I know you are out there, hiding...biding your time...) So, I wish I could congratulate you, but now I'm all confused by my sympathy for the editor who was offended. So, if you're reading this, Moni has a short memory and can't remember your username. Don't be put off by our demonstrative pushiness. Join us. We can always use involved editors.

Lambda Literary Awards
What can you do to help the project out? Be a wiki-fairy, on many levels. There are all kinds of articles that need help. Why, just this morning I removed those ugly wikify and cleanup tags from four articles at random. If you can put  around stuff, you can clean up articles. There's a list of articles that need attention at the top of the WP:LGBT talk page. Or you can start with the Lambda Literary Awards, where the goddess of my altar received a pioneering award, and was "reduced to rubble" by Katherine V. Forrest's wonderful speech. The 20th ceremony of the Lambda Literary Awards, which celebrates LGBT literature, took place in West Hollywood on May 29th. The page needs to be updated with the new winners, to be found on the official website.

Yeshayahu Leibowitz, Arthur C. Clarke and Bernard Montgomery
Why on earth would someone want to delete material about homosexuality? 'Tis truly a mystery. But these embattled articles have some random evil gnomes removing information that places these folks under our queer umbrella. Help us keep an eye out for the deletions. Take a peek at the articles, familiarize yourselves with the info, and be handy with the undo function in the article history. If tempers flare, take it to the Hall monitors and let them sort it out. Best solution is to make sure your sources are immaculate.

This month's Wiki stars
This is what I get for opening my big fat mouth and suggesting the newsletter should be revived. Here I am writing it. So, to pat self on back (*cough*) Mulholland Dr. became a featured article in May. This is A Good Thing since it is my personal declaration that there is no such thing as lesbian porn. I don't care what Benjiboi says about the video collection at goodvibes. Instead, we have hot women who connect on a deep, personal, soul-touching level, so this film should qualify as some of the skankiest porn available for lesbians. Plus, it's completely confusing and surreal! D'you think Laura Harring would care that the article is featured? I don't think so either... (Call me, Laura!)

Compulsive hoarding of templates
Once I saw a harrowing episode of Animal Planet's Animal Cops where this guy had, like, 250 cats in his house and it freaked me right out. I'm drawing a parallel between 250 cats and, well...three, really, templates in articles involving LGBT issues. Can we stick to one, maybe? In the aforementioned Harvey Milk's article there's a core LGBT template, a link to the LGBT portal, and a sidebar for LGBT rights. Jiminy! You'd think we weren't the folk to set industrial grey carpeting and track lighting in vogue. An LGBT footer was designed to link to articles of interest that aren't the aforementioned core articles. What do you think, can we have either an LGBT template for core articles, a footer for LGBT articles that are high profile but not core, or an LGBT rights template? As ever, anything's up for discussion on the WP:LGBT talk page.

The Violet Quill and magazines
Zigzig20s suggests we create an article on The Violet Quill, as it seems such a milestone in the advancement of gay/queer literature. Members of the Quill all have pages of their own (Edmund White, Christopher Cox, Robert Ferro, Michael Grumley, Andrew Holleran, Felice Picano, and George Whitmore). We need to find more info on the Quill per se to reference the page that we create. Perhaps Google Books - and libraries? - can help.

A number of magazines also need articles, perhaps most notably QW, LGNY, and Lesbian Feminist Liberation.

Mom's nagging for Pride Month
It's June, Pride month. Wear sunscreen, stay hydrated, get a designated driver, then go half-dressed in the streets find a girlfriend or boyfriend, or some homo who's standing there looking lonely and kiss 'em up real good. Remember, it all started 39 years ago when a bunch of drag queens just got fed the f*ck up by the cops raiding the bar and dragging them all out to the pokey again. Rock on, queens! Enjoy your celebrations. My town's is in October, and 200 people attend. I miss Denver.
