I have nominated U.S. Crush, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/U.S. Crush. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

AfD nomination of The Frantic
An article that you have been involved in editing, The Frantic, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/. Thank you. neon white user page talk 01:21, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of The Frantic
A tag has been placed on The Frantic requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 02:00, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:U.S. Crush.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:U.S. Crush.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Rancid - B Sides and C Sides.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Rancid - B Sides and C Sides.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) 10:45, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Charles Manson edit
Hi. Thanks for considering your contribution to the article. I just wanted to let you know that the "Recordings" section is for discussion of the music that Manson himself or members of the Family wrote and recorded, or was recorded or sampled by other artists. There is a hidden message in the edit view of the article which says ''Please do not add trivia section or listings of instances where Manson is mentioned in songs, films or other media. This is covered sufficiently in the Manson in culture section. Thank you.'' The consensus of editors who have been working to bring this article back up to feature status is that the article is lengthy and detailed enough. Thanks again.

AfD nomination of D.I.
An editor has nominated D.I., an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 02:59, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Struck a Nerve
Good job with starting the article, although I would point out that per WP:MUSIC articles on "songs must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines" which state that " A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.". I don't know much about the song, do you think that this song has recieved that sort of coverage? Guest9999 (talk) 19:48, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Bad Habit
Yes, "Bad Habit" is a single, see here. Is an extensive single, how "Anthem Part Two" for example, and it is a live single, how "Dumpweed". Is a single by 1994, probably released after Self Steem and before Gotta Get Away, there are 13 tracks, but I Can't see the track listings on the photo, and the label forthis single is LIVE LINE RECORDS. Other doubt, do you know the track listing for this songs: "Gotta Get Away", "Kick Him When He's Down", "Smash It Up", "Spare Me the Details", "Can't Repeat" and "Next to You" is a Offspring single? "Totalimmortal", is a Offspring single?, see on tamplete!!!

Thanks Alex. 200.203.74.79 (talk) 15:17, 2 May 2008 (UTC) (my talk page)

Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace edit
Why add the link now? There isn't a review yet, therefore it makes no sense to add a link there. By the way, I don't take kindly to being accused of vandalism. --14:04, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

that is cool bro. did u make that? JeanLatore (talk) 21:23, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Is vs. are
Please tell me why you keep reverting my change in verb tense on The Offspring page. One would not say "The band are ...", as "band", a collection of musicians, is singular. Similarly, "The Offspring" is a singular noun and should have the verb "is" attached to it. Spell4yr (talk) 16:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * They're all still one band, though, and should be given singular verbs throughout. Perhaps this needs to be a larger discussion on music article conventions, as all singular collections of multiple items, whether a band, "politics," whatever, should be given "is." But since I see that the problem is far greater than one band, I'll let it go for now. But there should be a lot more consistency. Spell4yr (talk) 16:47, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Bad Religion
For the last time, your opinion does not matter. Do not remove sourced genres with OR. You should know that orignial reasearch is not allowed. Continuing your edits constitutes as vandalism. If your continue, I will report you. Johan Rachmaninov (talk) 02:32, 5 June 2008 (UTC) Look, just beacause you diaagree that BR is not pop punk does mean that we should put that up on the genre list. Acording to WP:NORN, which I highly suggest you read over, Wikipedia does not allow original reasearch, which is what your edits amount to. Johan Rachmaninov (talk) 22:54, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Alex, I have readded the pop punk genre to the Bed Religion page with new citations. Here they are. As you can see, three of these are internet copies of a print source. Now, I don't want to restart the edit war, and would prefer if we disscussed this before any change are made. Also, there are some points I would like to make. Firstly, you seem to treat the pop punk genre as a badge for sellouts and lighter bands like Green day and there ilk. This is not true. Bands like Rancid, NOFX, Propagandhi, and a majority of Fat wreck bands are apart of this genre. All pop punk means is punk bands with pop influances. Secondly you really need to read WP:NORN and WP:OWN. Remember, You have to compromise and work with other people, even if you might not agree with them. I hope we can put aside our differances and work together to improve the page.Johan Rachmaninov (talk) 00:51, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Alex, It's fine. I to would like to apologize. Honestly, I Think we were both acting in way that was not appropriate. I hope we can get past this. Johan Rachmaninov (talk) 01:52, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Bad Religion old.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Bad Religion old.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? BlueAzure (talk) 00:32, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Bad Habit
This song is simply not notable enough to require its own article. See here: Notability_(music). The article is unsourced, makes no claim of significance (ie, the song did not chart), and contains unencyclopedic info/original research:

"More than a decade after its release, this song has remained a very popular song for the band and is considered a concert staple. It is usually always played as the first song on their standard concert playlist."

Unless you can provide reliable sources that the song charted such that the article meets WP:MUSIC, then there is no need for this article. Nouse4aname (talk) 14:56, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

recreating articles
A tag has been placed on requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, place the template hangon underneath the other template on the article and put a note on the page's discussion page saying why this article should stay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you. Geoffrey Spear (talk) 14:37, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I read the note you left at Talk:You're Gonna Go Far, Kid; as you're probably aware, material that has been deleted as the result of an articles for deletion discussion and identically recreated is subject to immediate deletion upon recreation; there are no acceptable reasons for retention. If you believe, as you seem to, that the article has valid reasons to be recreated, the way to go is via deletion review.  If you have any questions about Wikipedia policy, you can leave me a note.

Proposed deletion of Abominations of Desolation
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Abominations of Desolation, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Mdsummermsw (talk) 18:06, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

AC/DC
I understand that you probably moved the new album page to Black Ice (album) in good faith, but there is a discussion on the talk page where one is supposed to discuss these things. Undercover.com is not a reliable source, and there is no official confirmation whatsoever of the new album's title. Wikipedia is not a mirror site for gossip from sites that don't give out their sources - we are supposed to wait for official confirmation form the band or the record company. Thanks.
