Little context in The Edge of Love (soundtrack)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on The Edge of Love (soundtrack), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because The Edge of Love (soundtrack) is very short providing little or no context to the reader.

Siouxsie and the Banshees
I'm not sure why you're referring to your changes as 'chronological', The Creatures formed in 1981, there shouldn't be any reason to put the band as a "collaboration", or in the 1993 time frame.

Glad someone agrees with my proposal. Let's leave it a week to see whether anyone else comments, then if nobody raises any objections, I'll do all the necessary changes, redirects and so on. Regards, ~dom Kaos~ (talk)

Curious as to why you deleted an edition to this page regarding a cover by the song which has been used in a recent upcoming game trailer, (and the reason for many to start searching out this song in general). The old revision was merely a mention and a link. Or was the link source not good enough? ~Neos Dionsysos~ (talk)

I think you're another Hipster with a very wrong opinion about Goth bands Carliertwo, first off AllTalk is not a "prestigious source" (you used plural, in actuality I only deleted the Alltalk source) when the opinion formed by the source was not even around when the album was created (Alltalk company was created in 1991, Juju was released in 1981) making their information second hand and opinions instead of facts. I used the Guardian newspaper articles (even used direct reference as [1] from an article asserting that Siouxsie and the Banshees is a Goth band, since that newspaper has been in existence since the 1800s, they had reporters back then directly talking to Siouxsie Sioux and band mates. To me there is no such thing as "post-punk", it is a made up term by a lazy mainstream magazine writer who couldn't really define the divergence from punk going into darker, more introverted lyrics with heavy bass lines, so instead of asking the artists or their managers what he was listening to he just decided to go with "post-punk", but really anything after punk chronologically could be called "post-punk" like gangster rap, grunge, new wave, shoegaze, etc. To me Siouxsie and the Banshees were a Punk and Goth band, "post-punk" to me is just a "safe" term people like you (most likely Hipster) use to put around music you like but don't like using the "bad/evil" Goth name to describe them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.83.143.151 (talk) 06:44, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

Sex Pistols
Part of the problem is that your edit summary offered the claim that the "Paris gig was not interrupted due to Siouxsie." But that particular claim is made neither by the article--which says her swastika armband "caused a stir"--nor by Gimarc--who more specifically states that "she was punched by an outraged Arab man". Neither our article nor Gimarc specifies whether the incident took place at the gig, or before or after it, and in any case there is absolutely no claim that the gig was "interrupted" (there were frequently physical altercations at Sex Pistols gigs--they did not always necessitate interruptions). Does Blum--who does seem to be a strong source--actually say that the specific story of Siouxsie being punched is false? DocKino (talk) 19:21, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

The source I referenced--Gimarc--along with others mentions the incident and, on multiple occasions, Siouxsie's armband, so no, it did not strike me as trivial. However, if, as you say, Blum indicates that the incident took place when the Sex Pistols were not even present, it may not be appropriate to include. I'll take it to the article's Talk page for discussion.

Why don't you raise your concern about coverage of Rotten's penchant for wearing clothing with swastikas on the article's Talk page, as well, so others have the opportunity to weigh in. Questions to consider: Where in the article do you think discussion of the matter should be added? Do you happen to have read any high-quality sources that deal with the matter?

November 2011
Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Siouxsie and the Banshees. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. ''

In addition to inserting a personal attack in your edit summary, you have failed (once again) to adequately cite your reference sources. If the material is actually "online on thetimes.co.uk" as you claim, provide a direct link. Don't make readers wade through an entire web site in the hopes that they may stumble upon the exact resource you supposedly had right on your screen.

I hope that you will fix the insufficient link (which you not only added once, but reverted back into the article) so that this particular instance is resolved. I also hope you will begin taking seriously the requirements of WP:Verifiability, providing full citations (URLs for online resources, page numbers for paper publications, etc.) in general. And I hope you will keep the insults to yourself in future. Thanks. &mdash; JohnFromPinckney (talk)'' 16:38, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

March 2013: Message to the ADMINISTRATORS
An user who constantly changes of IPs, keeps on contacting you to block me where as he looks like a clone of BEATWEAKer, an user that has been blocked indefinitely a few months ago for genre warring to Siouxsie and the Banshees-related articles articles.

Discussion
I noted your edits effectively taking a GA nom away from for yourself. Isn't this a violation of WP:OWN? Chris Troutman ( talk ) 19:39, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * , wp:Good article nominations/Instructions#Step 1:Prepare the article says : Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article prior to a nomination.  I'm the main contributor of this article, so I should have been contacted. User Avario87 has only made cosmetic changes on this article as one can check [here]. In fact, it was only changes of "titles". I presume, an administrator knows what is the difference between the term  "ownership" and the term "stewardship". WP:Ownership and stewardship says: Do not confuse stewardship with ownership. Stewardship of an article (or group of related articles) may be the result of a sincere personal interest in the subject matter, [...] or the editor could actually be an expert in the subject matter and provide credible insights for locating reliable sources.  I'm a kind of expert as I've been searching sources and content for this article for 7 years now. It seems to me pretty rich that a contributor is gonna pass this article GA, and gets all the benefit later, by probably putting this on his/her page. I understand very well that I shouldn't have made these changes without consulting an administrator first. Though, you shouldn't have put the word "Ownership" on my talk, even with a question mark. Carliertwo (talk) 16:46, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
 * You must have missed the lede for those instructions where it says "Articles can be nominated by anyone" (emphasis original) "though it is highly preferable that they have contributed significantly and are familiar with the subject".
 * Certainly had no business nominating that article for GA. I completely agree with you on those points.
 * That said, no one has to ask your permission to edit or nominate an article. To my mind, hijacking someone's GA nom is ownership, not stewardship. If you feel offended, well, you should be.  Shouldn't you have assumed good faith and brought the issue up on a talk page before your hijack?  Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 19:25, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Carlie, just to add, having looked at the situation I can understand your frustration. However Chris is correct, you can't just unilaterally decide you're the editor of record. The good news is there's nothing stopping you from chiming in on the GA review when and if it happens. Providing you do so in a neutral, non-combative way, you'll still be able to have a significant role in helping improve the article. Cheers, Shoebox 2   talk  02:55, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for these kind words and support, . It's very appreciated. I'm still speechless to see the term "ownership" appearing on my page! In the next days, I'm gonna spend time to improve this article: I've still tons of material to add. greetings. Carliertwo (talk) 16:46, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dreamshow


A tag has been placed on Dreamshow 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 person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Siouxsie and the Banshees
STOP with your careless, nonsensical reversions of my productive changes to Siouxsie and the Banshees-related articles that took a great deal of my time to make, and WP:CITEVAR does not excuse your disruptive and counter-productive behaviour. You are also wasting your time on these reversions that are just going to be re-instated anyway and which could lead to a more formal warning on my behalf. Lachlan Foley (talk) 00:01, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Infoboxes and references
Per WP:INFOBOXREF references are acceptable in infoboxes. Looking at your editing history, you have gone through countless pages reverting edits based on the erroneous idea that infoboxes cannot contain references. I will paste the information here for you in its entirety: "References are not needed in infoboxes if the content is repeated (and cited) elsewhere or if the information is obvious. If the material requires a reference (see WP:MINREF for guidelines) and the information doesn't also appear in the body of the article, the reference should be included in the infobox. However, editors should first consider including the fact in the body of the article." Bolding is mine. Re-adding unsourced text in so many articles is WP:POINTy and disruptive. freshacconci talk to me  15:06, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * And need I remind you that Twinkle has a specific warning for adding genres to music articles without references: "...I have noticed that some of your recent genre changes have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page." Your reverts back to unsourced genres is actually a violation of guidelines. freshacconci talk to me  15:10, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Who is and who is not Lachlan Foley
I acknowledge that contributes as 203.52.130.149 from Hobart in Tasmania. stated as much while blocking the IP. You are correct to be alert about changes at Siouxsie and the Banshees and other places where Lachlan has been active.

However, with regard to this edit of yours, is not Lachlan Foley's clone. GentleCollapse16 is instead halfway around the globe. GentleCollapse16 used to contribute as Kb and from IP addresses in New York. See Sockpuppet investigations/Kb/Archive. Since I put together the sockpuppet case, Kb changed usernames and has been a very useful contributor as GentleCollapse16. Binksternet (talk) 21:58, 16 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Your reversions to the Siouxsie page are partial and unconstructive. The AllMusic source overtly suggests they were among the first groups to become categorized as "gothic":

"the true birth of goth rock was 'Bela Lugosi's Dead,' the 1979 debut single by Bauhaus. Already chilly post-punk outfits like the Cure and Siouxsie & the Banshees became full-on goth bands around the same time, and their heavy, menacing makeup and dark clothes became an important part of their fans' expression."
 * If this is not enough, here Pitchfork refers to them as among the "goth's godfathers" and page 167 of The Music of the Goth Subculture: Postmodernism and Aesthetics clearly delineates the Banshees' defining of goth and influence on later goth culture.


 * Furthermore, art punk is both listed by wikipedia as a genre and clearly listed by the AllMusic article, so I'm not entirely sure how you've decided to dismiss its existence as a valid tag.


 * And to conclude, the genres you've reinstated by reverting the page (new wave and alternative rock) are not clearly sourced anywhere on the page. Additionally, a sentence like "Their music combined elements of pop and avant-garde" is (both stylistically and in content) simplistic, one-dimensional, and banal to be the first sentence in a paragraph of the lead.


 * Please help better the page rather than continuing to revert it to your preferences.

August 2015
Your recent editing history at Siouxsie and the Banshees shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.You will want to revert your latest reversion so that you are not in violation of the 3RR rule.

SIOUXSIE
HEY PAL, mind getting on the talk page to actually engage with the COMPLETELY VALID sources I'm including? Or are you going to continue hiding behind irrelevant WP banners in the edit summary box? Otherwise, you're getting reported for vandalism and POV warring. GentleCollapse16 (talk) 21:13, 6 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Wait, wait—is the problem here that you're incapable of understanding that the group were simultaneously a post-punk band and one of the early progenitors of the goth style? You realize they don't have to be ONE THING, right? Gothic rock is a damn subgenre of post-punk.... Dear me.... GentleCollapse16 (talk) 21:17, 6 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Here is another case of a wp:genre warrior. Carliertwo (talk) 21:27, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

If you revert (again) I will immediately open an RfC and for the next 30 days you will get a dozen people or more telling you that you are wrong. Then the RfC will close and your little WP:OWN games ("I am the first contributor, I can choose") will take a precipitous serotonin drop. -- Green  C  23:57, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
 * , I suggest you calm down and stop your threat. You have never contributed to this siouxsie's article, haven't you. Your sudden message with a aggressive tone, is a reaction to the post I put on Cyberpower678's talk page, isn't it. You apparently like to use tools. Sorry but this article is not GA, even less FA. The style issue should really not be an issue in this case, but if you have time to waste... Carliertwo (talk) 00:28, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
 * My reaction is to your severe case of WP:OWN ("You have never contributed to this siouxsie's article, haven't you" and "I am the first contributor, I can choose"). We'll see who gets to choose. It won't be me, it won't be you. -- Green  C  02:28, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

The Scream article issue
Hi there! This recent group of sentences you added do not make clear grammatical or thematic sense:
 * "Steven Severin stated that the two lyrical references were J. G. Ballard and William Burroughs. The band spoke about suburbia in "Suburban Relapse". "That's why J.G. Ballard resonated so much with us, because all his near-future tales were set in this bizarre suburban wasteland. Suburbia is a place where you can imagine any kind of possibility, because there's space, not urban clutter".
 * First, with the Severin part, are you talking about the song mentioned in the prior sentence ("Switch"), or the album as a whole? It's not clear at all.
 * And are the two authors referenced (i.e., mentioned in the song), or did you mean to say "influences"??? The final quote from Mojo needs to be attributed; you cannot place a quote by itself without a subject like Severin said, "That's why... Who said the quote?
 * And was the quote about "Suburban Relapse" or the entire album? Again, no offense, but very sloppy writing and unclear.
 * Before I fix any of this, I need to know what you are referring to with the lyrical references and the final quote. Thanks! Greg Fasolino (talk) 16:00, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I changed it a bit following your remarks. In the interview online on the BBC website, Severin cited both Ballard and Burroughs as key references for The Scream.
 * Siouxsie often stated that their first records were about suburbia but I don't remember the source.
 * Anyway in Mojo, Paytress mentioned the track "Suburban Relapse" saying it "offered a clue to the band's wolf tendency". Then there is Severin's quote that I included on the Scream article. In the Mojo article, Siouxsie lengthly speaks about suburbia, what she called the "get born, get married then die' culture, a life sentence of drudgery". Carliertwo (talk) 16:03, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Siouxsie and the Banshees songs
Yes, the songwriters are referenced at ASCAP and the information taken from there. Unlike the record sleeve this is not a primary source. It is not possible to link to precise song at ASCAP, otherwise I would do so. I did state where the information came from in my initial edit. Bands do not write songs, anymore than bands play bass guitar, and without naming names, there is one "singer-songwriter" who doesn't actually write their songs - although you would never believe this from reading their publicity. Further more, "Siouxsie and the Banshees" is a marketing name used by various people (band members change, don't they?), so saying a song was written by S&theB is completely meaningless. Is this clear? --Richhoncho (talk) 03:56, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * No, it isn't. They composed together and decided to put the credit as SATB on their records from 1981. What matters is what is written on sleeve. Carliertwo (talk) 12:59, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Please see this discussion. I am happy to see S&theB with the members at the time of writing noted. If there is any difference between the two sources then it is our job to point out, NOT assume we know which is correct. --Richhoncho (talk) 13:28, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Don't bring arguments between 2 users from another discussion. There is not any wp:consensus to make those changes. Carliertwo (talk) 13:53, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Question
Hey, I can't quite figure out how to upload promotional photos for artists' picture to Wiki within Wiki guidelines, as you seem to have done, including the 'non-free promotional image' license. Can I get some help? GentleCollapse16 (talk) 19:45, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * , copy & paste this File:name of the band plus name of the musicians.jpg (don't forget to put the ...]) in the body of the article, and click on "show preview" at the bottom of the page. You'll then see [[:File:name of the band plus name of the musicians.jpg appearing in red. Click on it. Then follow the instructions, click on the file button, find the picture in your archives, and transfer it from your computer to the site. Once it is registered.
 * Copy & paste the text that is written at this link https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Siouxsie_and_the_banshees_79.jpg&action=edit while changing the names of the musicians, etc... That should work without any problem. If it doesn't, tell me which picture you want to include, the name of the article, etc... Carliertwo (talk) 00:10, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Siouxsie and the Banshees albums categories
Why are you placing both the articles for the Siouxsie and the Banshees albums as well as Category:Siouxsie and the Banshees albums in Category:Post-punk albums? If all the albums are in Category:Siouxsie and the Banshees albums and that category is in Category:Post-punk albums then the individual album articles don't need to be. On the other hand, if only a few Siouxsie and the Banshees albums are post-punk, then only those albums should be categorized in Category:Post-punk albums and Category:Siouxsie and the Banshees albums should NOT be. The point is the post-punk albums category does not need to be in the album articles and the category, too. If you are confused how categories work, I can help you.

Replaceable fair use File:Johnmckayfromsiouxsieandthebanshees.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Johnmckayfromsiouxsieandthebanshees.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

The AN thread
Unless you have something positive or constructive to say, it is best not to say anything. Attacking other users is not going to gain you any sympathy, is confrontational, and is doing you and Wikipedia harm. The more respectful we are to each other, especially when in dispute, the better that Wikipedia works. I have a quote from Barack Obama on my talkpage, which is there to remind me how best to conduct myself: "I will listen to you, especially when we disagree."

Up to you what you do, all I can do is give you advice. I hope that when I give you advice that you think carefully about what I am saying, and only do it when you understand and agree with it. Don't simply do it because I say so. If you don't understand or agree with it, then say so to me so we can talk about it. OK? My suggestion now is for you to leave a brief message on the AN thread in which you apologise for any inappropriate behaviour which led to the thread being opened, and apologise for any heated remarks. If you feel resentful about doing that, go have a cup of tea, think about for a moment and reflect on why I am suggesting it, and the impact your apology will have on the others. If you are still struggling with the idea, let me know and we can talk about it some more. SilkTork (talk) 10:45, 23 September 2020 (UTC)


 * There's been no further response from you or anyone else on that thread so the thread has now been archived. We're sort of in limbo because there was no consensus to topic ban you, but also there was no consensus for me to assist you with cleaning up the articles. The way things stand, you could be brought to AN/I again, and if there's been no change in your editing pattern, and the edits that caused concern have not been cleaned up, and there are no dissenting views, you may well find that there would be a consensus to topic ban you. Up to you what you do, but in the circumstances I feel it would be in your interest for us to go through the edits of concern and clean them up. I would at the same time give you some advice on how to avoid confrontation in future. If I get no response to this message in the next seven days, I'll let User:JG66 know that what I proposed has not worked, so the AN thread can be unarchived and the discussion continued. SilkTork (talk) 18:15, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
 * @ . I'll certainly spend less time arguing in discussions, I read the bad faith / good faith pages that give useful keys about how to handle disputes. I got the message that confrontations lead to nowhere, plus people stop reading. The claims with the {cn} tags have been cleaned up, I only added one ref for one claim, will put others when reading again retrospective articles published in Record Collector and Mojo. Carliertwo (talk) 14:04, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * That's good. I'll take a look at the article(s) under concern later to make sure that all concerns have been appropriately addressed. As regards avoiding confrontation. What I have always found useful is to type out my heated impulsive response, but before posting it, to look at it again and reword it to take out intemperate language and personal comments. And to pause again before posting, and go through it again. Sometimes it takes several rewordings, by which time my anger/frustration/outrage has calmed down, and I may at that point decide not to post at all, or what I do post is polite and temperate and to the point. I find that more satisfying than not posting at all. Or trying to post something appropriate while still heated (an irritable tone will come through). Or going for a walk and typing it out later. The actual act of typing out my anger/frustration/outrage is very helpful. It gets it out of my system. Doing it later never seems to work because when I do sit down to type it out I simply get annoyed again! SilkTork (talk) 10:11, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Hello Carliertwo. You binned my last request, which was via a template, on 24 August. So, as you've been editing since 2007, this time I thought I would just politely ask you. Could you please use a few more edit summaries? You average about 12%, which means most of the time other editors don't know what you're doing, at a glance, without going to look. In your last 500 edits, you used about 20? Edit summaries are really useful to other editors. By all means bin this request too, if you wish. But please use a few more edit summaries? Many thanks.

Dixon
He was a part of the Banshees. He rehearsed and took part in a photo session. His name and image as a Banshees drummer are in a respectable reliable source, namely Jon Savage's England's Dreaming book. He had a bigger repertoire of Banshees songs than Marco or Sid ever did. Please do not write him out of history, especially not without any explanation like you did. Also your reverted edit gave the incorrect implication that Kenny Morris joined the band before Pete Fenton, which is plainly untrue. Fenton predated Kenny.

Hey
Hi, Carliertwo. I'm going to drop the Siouxsie pages after adding the text, but I think you need to reread the album style guidance. The ratings box is for RS grades, scores, and ratings, whether they yet have matching text ... or even if text doesn't exist. These were often tied to biographical entries, whether Spin, AllMusic, MusicHound, Rolling Stone, Penguin, Martin Strong, Popoff, Colin Larkin, etc. Artists with large discographies--Sinatra, Presley, Davis, Cash--a publisher couldn't print these things if every album had corresponding text. I know that tone often doesn't come off accurately in WP, so I apologize, but if you don't like this you could raise the issue on the album talk page--you're not the only editor who takes a dim view of the ratings practice, or the box in general. Have a good week. Caro7200 (talk) 13:27, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm David Gerard. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please stop adding and re-adding The Sun, it is a deprecated sourcce and can't be used on articles about living people.
