Hello =]
Hey there, I just wanted to say thanks for helping in saving To Write Love on Her Arms' article from being deleted here on Wikipedia. I need your help please! My non-profit organization article lowercase people is going to be deleted sooner or later for some reason. If you could rescue it please do so, it's my first article haha. Lp is another another non-profit organization like TWLOHA but deals with art, words, music and social justice. Well thanks for your time, adios.

Edit: THANK YOU!!!

Podunk (band)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Regarding the page Podunk (band), I'm not sure it is notable enough for an article according to Wikipedia's music notability criteria. Can you comment on the notability of this band? — GT 09:16, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Podunk have been involved in the music scene in and around Austin, Texas, which I believe fulfills the criterion of being involved in a major recognized scene. Also, I heard their song "Wings" (off of the Throwin' Bones album) in rotation on a major eastern Pennsylvania rock station, WZZO, in the late 1990s, although I am unable to say to what extent they received recognition in other parts of the country on radio. They have opened for Tesla and possibly also King's X, though I do not have a reliable source for the latter (which is why I did not include it in the article).Chubbles1212 18:58, 12 June 2006 (UTC)Chubbles1212

Another hello
...Hello from me as well; I just noticed your excellent articles on music sources of the 12th-14th centuries (Montpellier, Chantilly -- they've been on my to-do list for at least a couple years). Welcome to Wikipedia, from another early music editor. It's a lot of fun here. Antandrus (talk) 04:58, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I did notice those articles, thank you for them! Mak (talk)  21:00, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Ballade
Unfortunately, no, they have to be changed one at a time. Some users have written bots to deal with this kind of issue. Thanks for the ballade (music) article; we've needed it for a while. Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 06:13, 13 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Ah, thanks for the clarification. I think "musical form" is fine.  Antandrus  (talk) 06:17, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Printers
Nice! (e.g. Petrucci and Attaingnant). The early music-printers have been needing some attention on Wikipedia for a while. Pierre Phalèse needs an article if you're feeling ambitious! Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 22:43, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Medieval music
I saw that too -- but because I'm at work I only had a minute to investigate. It was a revert to some version about six to nine months ago (maybe you can find which one?) it's a really, really strange thing to do, especially for a "newbie" who seemingly hasn't visited the article before. I'm going to revert back and put a note on the talk page. Antandrus (talk) 23:29, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

re: HBF
I checked out the HBF article and I think you've got it covered; I didn't see any dropped information. Looks good... AuburnPilot Talk 18:54, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

WP:PROD
Just so you know, in the future, you don't need permission to contest a PROD. If you disagree with the article's deletion, just remove the tag. If the other editor persists, they have to go to WP:AFD - at that point, you can't remove the tag. Take a read through both WP:PROD and WP:AFD for more info. Let me know if you have any questions. —Wknight94 (talk) 00:42, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

...and now you know why I created my own spelling award. Thanks you for pointing that out to me, I apreciate it very much. Incidentally, allow me to present you with:

Codex articles
I just wanted to say thanks for starting articles on medieval manuscripts like the Bamberg and Montpellier codices! They had been on my to-do list but I hadn't gotten around to them yet. Good work! - Rainwarrior 17:27, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

SockPuppett? Come on!
Hi Chubbles! First of all, thanks for your cool comments on the Die Mannequin articles for deletion page. This guy brianyoumans is completely nuts! Second, I must tell you that the unsigned message left by TomasArgon as nothing to do with me. I don't know the person and I AM NOT this person. This is NOT a case of sockpuppetry at all even if this person used the term "Strong Keep", as I did. I would appreciate if you would remove that SockPuppett tag cause that is not the case and it hurts my reputation. Thanks for understanding. I don't have time to lose using sockpuppets anyway. Have a nice day, and again, thanks for your no-nonsense approach! Terveetkadet

re: Todd Zywicki
Thank you for removing my prod on that article. I don't know how I overlooked the notice about the prior AFD discussion. While I am still skeptical about whether that decision was ultimately right, the page is ineligible for the prod process because of it. Thanks again for correcting it.

Your edit to Say Anything (band)
Your recent edit to Say Anything (band) (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles.

Sockpuppett? Come on!
Why do you accuse me of "sockpuppettry" ? I NEVER did anything like that! You're accusing me without proof and that's a real cheap shot! I'm asking you to please remove your accusation of "sockpuppetry".Terveetkadet

Deletion review
Hm, yeah. Odd. If it bothers you, try taking it to WP:DRV. If all the keep votes were obvious sockpuppets, or if the reasoning was particularly ridiculous, and the article clearly failed verifiability or copyright or something else non-negotiable, I could see the closing admin deleting, but on a fast glance that doesn't seem to be the case here.

Hi - this bot auto-spellchecked the above site and corrected an intentional misspelling. Is there some sort of marker that should be placed in the text that will keep bots from making spelling edits there? Chubbles 21:06, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Chubbles, sorry about that. Putting a HTML comment beside the spellings in question, like you've done is a pretty good bet, given all spellchecking bots are supposed to be supervised. I'll make a note of the page so I don't try to edit it again. Thanks, CmdrObot 02:39, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

re: Hawthorne Heights
Hi, I'll just add Pop Punk along with the others to make us both happy.

Hah, does "the book" mention Revolution Summer? And bands like The Hated, Gray Matter, Embrace, Moss Icon etc. Does it even explore the music of Dischord records, except maybe Rites of Spring? Hawthrone Heights isn't even influenced by emo. I hear no resemblance between them and Moss Icon... 90.227.226.69 08:44, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


 * wow, reading one book qualifies as homework... modern emo is found in screamo. Saetia and Orchid defineded the genre back in 97, with inspiration from late Portraits of Past work. I must ask, are you blind or did you just forgot to do your homework. Because pop/alt. rock doesn't fit on the emo-timeline 90.227.226.69 08:21, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


 * since you read the book, you get the honor to rewrite it. The confusion is right there... SDRE, Texas is the Reason, Mineral is not pure emo. It's indie emo, and since screamo isn't on emo, neither should "The Second Wave" and the so called "Third wave". You could also label it as post-emo. Emo stops after the "First wave", which could acctually be split up into area's in USA. 90.227.226.69 13:00, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Emo is not as pure as punk or hardcore. But it has its roots, Revolution Summer, and changed a lot before it died out in 94-95. And don't believe the hypocrites on MTV... 90.227.226.69 09:56, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Ivrea
Thanks for starting that page! It's so much easier to contribute once someone's done the heavy lifting of putting out the basics. I'll definitely look for your other Medieval Music contributions! --Myke Cuthbert 02:41, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Turn Off The Stars
Hi! The sources on the band's page did the trick, and I removed the tag. The album page still needs more. If the album charted, put some verifiable stats for that. The more review or mentions in the press, the better. Since the band is new and yet to make much of a splash, WP editors will typically be skeptical until you can show some citations. But I think you can do it, so give it a shot.

Sorry this kinda got mixed in with your userboxes. Don't quite know how to fix that. :-) Realkyhick 22:29, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * TOTS's album hasn't charted in the US, and while it may have charted in Canada, I don't know how to access their chart data (it's not on Allmusic...). Under WP:ALBUM, albums by notable bands qualify if they've gotten reviewed in multiple nontrivial places; the main article now cites a couple reviews, and the article page itself has a link to Christianity Today's review, and that's a pretty big publication. It being a full-length LP, that seems enough to me...


 * Also, I moved your comment on my userpage here. Chubbles 23:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * One more thing: Credential Recordings is an EMI subsidiary, meaning they're on a major label. Chubbles 23:30, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Having worked in Christian radio for a few years, I would definitely call any EMI subsidiary a major label. I'll remove the tag. Good job. By the way, I have this bad habit of getting user pages and user talk pages mixed up. Duh!! My apologies. Realkyhick 03:00, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Guinea Pigs in Scientific Research
I just want to say that while youre work adding citations and history to the usage of guinea pigs in the lab has been admirable, I think that it is in fact one of the least important parts of the article and that youre hard work might be put to better use in some other part (such as the vague sections dealing with their origins and status in the wild, or early introduction to the west) VanTucky 16:40, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

All that stuff about the really old experiments is really interesting. nice work dude. VanTucky 21:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

External Links On Hawthorne Heights Article
I was on the HH article and noticed that the link to the fan site on xanga wasn't on there. so i went to the history and saw that you removed it and marked it as spam or something. i was the one who put it on there, and don't see how it is spam. it is a fan site for HH, doesn't have much on it yet, but it's HH's only fan site that i've seen that is still updated. that is my fan site actually, and the piczo one is too. they're not the same thing though, as you can see if you go to them both. not trying to sound rude to you or anyone, don't want you to think that by everything i wrote on here. but i was just wondering why the link to my fan site got deleted. because i don't think it should have been deleted. thanks. Greendayrox 03:07, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

just wondering, why don't fan sites get linked on here? sorry, forgot to sign it. Greendayrox 02:33, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Gesner
you are right about my citation not containing info on Gesner and Guinea Pigs - that was my mistake. i accidentally cited that link from here. the first time, i relied on the morales, as i emailed a friend who has the book. i relied on 3rd party info, and should not have. it wasn't 'niggling' as you were absolutely correct. the linked article uses four sources - so i guess your idea about using a book is narrowed down to one of those ;) The undertow 04:48, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, saw you were checking out the article on The Vancouver Voice. I'd like to hear your thoughts on the article and suggestions for improvement if you have any. thanks! VanTucky 03:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, the Oregonian did a quick write-up of us so I could cite that if I can find it. But I've never read those, so I've no idea if its similar. Thanks again! VanTucky 04:01, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey Chubbles, youre one of the only users I trust that has seen the article, and I nominated it for WP:GA. I placed some inline citations and copyedited it some. How about maybe evaluating it per good article criteria? any help appreciated VanTucky 05:09, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh, as far as I understood things, size was only a requirement for featured articles. In fact, GA is for articles not large enough to be featured that are still good. The only criteria is: npov, well written, cited and images. seems the voice meets that. Besides, as far as cites go...there isnt many. but second, I have footnoted ones, not just inline url links. anyway, thanks! VanTucky 05:34, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism Templates
You may find it useful to use the vandalism templates as they tend to discourage vandals more than just reverting the vandalism. I've done it for the SOTY vandal, but try to do it in future! Thanks,  Asics   talk  Editor review! 23:48, 5 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't believe, for one second, that vandalism templates discourage vandalism. That said, it's useful for vandal ip addresses to be identified so blocks can be instituted, which seems to me to be the templates' real main function. Chubbles 00:21, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

For Tomorrow
Thanks for your For Tomorrow review and the points you have made, although I disagree with some of them: I might have to check the rest of the points made but I would only submit the article if I knew it had a good chance of becoming GA and that the sources were perfect. Dsims209 19:26, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The romantic house bit is there - "I had this image of my parents living next to The Beatles, so Emperor’s Gate, to me, is a romantic thing" (from the source provided)
 * Of course it has increased massively in stature, the conclusive proof is that one of the biggest music magazines in the world has put it in the Top 50 British songs ever, which I think is more than a little increase considering it reached #28 on its release!!
 * Continuing the previous point, there are three sources fully backing up the claim that it has increased massively.
 * The outclassed bit is also conclusively backed up: "Suede are third on the bill and give a tight, energetic performance. Blur perform very badly - drunken, shambling and embarrasing themselves." (from the source provided) Surely this is a good enough point!

Re: Re: For Tomorrow
Ok thanks again for your help, I will get underway on updating the article. Dsims209 20:19, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Greetings! I just saw your 0.7 on the Josquin page and that reminded me to ask you about this. I'm still planning on writing a paragraph -- or so -- on Josquin editions. Do you know how many of the NJE volumes are currently published/available, and what their current schedule for completion is? There's some good material in the Scherr book (currently adjacent to my computer, but I sure wish someone would release it in mass-market paperback, LOL), which I can use, but I need to get to the library soon.

Mezzamorphis GA (thank you!) and sales figures
Hello, Chubbles; thank you very, very much for your copyedit and GA review of Mezzamorphis! In general (and this is original research on my part), Delirious? dislike giving album sales figures. They have released the numbers for a few of the singles and the total number of albums to date, but other than that, I only know whether specific albums have gone gold or silver. Thanks once more for the review! --3M163//Complete Geek 13:39, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for helping edit Paul Cornell (Chicago). I was wondering whether you have any advice on citing the Encyclopedia of Chicago. This article cites several articles from the EOC.

It appears that there was a brief discussion several years ago on the topic of the caviidae taxonomic controversy, but that discussion never resulted in any actual consensus.

Symphony No. 3 (Górecki)
Hi, I notice you are quite strong on writing articles related to classical music - I'm thinking of expanding and working Symphony No. 3 up to GA and maybe FA over the next few months, and was wondering if you would be interested in helping out. Thanks. Ceoil 17:56, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Great. Where I might need most help is in the "Movements" section; I have no training and am worried about making elementary errors when intrepting the sources - I couldn't help but notice you have a BA in music ;). If its any help if have a draft Gorecki sketch here that may be of use. I agree re coverage of modern Polish music is lacking, I've been trying for a while to track down sources for this sorry mess.
 * Now if you excuse me, I'm off to Amazon to order those two books you recommended. Thanks for the tips! Ceoil 18:32, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I find it easier to make rough unpolished sketches when gathering sources and toying with the structure. That way I dont need to worry about phrasing, and can leave little notes for myself. Writing a proper article on Górecki is my long term goal, but surprisingly there is only one book dedicated to him, but this was written by a musicologist and contains only scant bio detail. The journal or print sources that I've tracked down all focus exclusively on the 3rd, so I'm kinda stuck at the moment. Ceoil 18:56, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Chubbles, I know neither of us are mice keepers or enthusiasts, but the Fancy mouse page is suffering from the same "how-to guide" by and for pet owners syndrome that the guinea pig article was.

Symphony No. 3
Thanks for all the catches recently.

The deletion template should stand.

Why?

(A) The "Joe Francis" linked to in the page is NOT the same Joe Francis that made this movie. I can provide a link to the Joe Francis who made this film, his myspace, if you have any doubt.

(B) IMDB isn't considered a qualified source for Wikipedia. Anyone can list a movie, real or not, on IMDB. That doesn't mean it actually exist.

The reason I prodded it is because it is merely a compilation of two games, with not many differences involved in these versions of the games. If it had an exceptionally high average score or sales it might warrant an article (like 2-in-1 SMB/Duck Hunt), but I haven't seen much to say that it does. - A Link to the Past (talk) 03:55, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Tamborero is unquestionably copyright infringement, and no assertion of permission has been made. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Tamborero, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

Guinea Pig as staple food
Hi, you asked me about guinea pigs being a staple food since the 1960s...I replied on the discussion page. I am not a regular wikipedia contributor, but usually add to things I know about, so I apologize in advance for improper formatting.Kingduct 03:52, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Guinea Pig Picture
If I get i get a Higher quality picture can I put it on the article guinea pig?

re:List of post-grunge artists
Theres a very specific reason regarding bands that I removed the red-links. When we have blue-links, it means they assert some sort of notability on Wikipedia and thus had an article written about them. Red-links are completly opposite of that. Red-links show that the band does not even assert the notability to have an article and doesn't needed to be added until they do. Red-links on these kinds of articles go directly against our notability guidline and WP:LC. In addition to that, bands that assert no notability whatsoever and never will, will think it's OK to add their name to Wikipedia if we don't start setting some boundaries. — M o e   ε  00:55, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * That's just the thing, if they don't have an article, they aren't notable, and shouldn't be added to Wikipedia. If you think it should be deleted, you're more than free to go to AFD and place it up for deletion. I don't see the point in this page either if there is a post-grunge category for artists. — M o e   ε  01:01, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Screaming
I saw a show once that talked about metal screaming and it involved a specialist who trained metal vocalists how to scream "properly." In the show she said this style of vocals has existed for quite some time as throat singing. I would have mentioned this but I saw the show some time ago and I don't remember any real specifics (e.g name of show, name of specialist, etc). I'm not an expert in the subject, only an amateur music lover, which is why I worked my post so... hesitantly. The possibility also exists that I am not remembering the show at all correctly. Best of luck editing. Na uf ana  :  talk  22:05, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

...for letting the Register be used as the primary source for that stuff I advocated be a part of the Guinea pig article. Long story short, I've realized they are not a realiable source 9to say the least), and that the mention of that gossip-mongering should be removed. As you and I were the users primarily involved in that particular discussion (if my memory serves me), do I have your consent to remove it? VanTucky  (talk) 05:30, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Stop Vandalism!
Well, if you want to delete an article, go and try to delete List of Jewish Nobel laureates, List of Muslim Nobel laureates, etc. You may think that 'One's religion, or lack thereof, has no bearing on one's suitability for a Nobel Prize'. That's your view. We don't agree with your view. Look, there are list of Nobel laureates based on other religions. RS 02:47, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh really!
Go and put a delation on the List of Jewish Nobel laureates. Then, we will talk about the atheist list. RS 03:01, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

No!
Only if Female Nobel Prize laureates, List of Christian Nobel laureates, List of Jewish Nobel laureates, List of Hindu Nobel laureates, List of Muslim Nobel laureates and Nobel laureates by university affiliation are to be deleted, then List of atheist Nobel laureates should also be deleted. RS 03:14, 9 July 2007 (UTC) No! if you are interested in delation, all should be deleted together. RS 03:23, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Let's get serious
Chubbles, I think you have some valid points. However, as I have pointed out, other similar lists exist. You have a degree in Chemistry and Music. I have a Master's degree in Physics. It would be better if we don't categorize people on the basis of religion. I agree with you. If the List of Jewish Nobel laureates, etc were to be deleted, this list can also be deleted. RS 03:56, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

That was my account.
Chubbles, the account User:R-1441 is my account. I made that comment on the behalf of Devraj5000. I have no interest in atheism or articles related to atheism.

Your opinion welcome at deletion review for Plot of Les Mis
After Articles for deletion/Plot of Les Misérables closed as a deletion, I'm challenging the way the closing administrator acted as in violation of Wikipedia rules. Your participation is welcome at that discussion, Deletion review/Log/2007 July 14. Please keep in mind that only arguments related to either new information or to how Wikipedia rules were violated or not violated in closing the discussion will be considered. It isn't a replay of the original AfD. I'm familiar with WP:CANVASSING and I am alerting everyone who participated in that discussion to the deletion review. I won't contact anyone again on this topic, and I apologize if you consider this note distracting. Noroton 04:40, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

eminent deletion...
Per the recent wave of list and "trivia" deletions, I see the demise of the Cultural references to guinea pigs article coming any day now. Slowly, I'm coming to see that this type of article is not really encyclopedic, even if it is useful and fun. I'm thinking that it might be best to take a stab at turning it into a couple short prose sections and possibly re-integrating it with the main article. VanTucky (talk) 23:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * It's not the subject matter for me, it's the list format. But yes, sounds like a good idea. I was thinking of perhaps of separate groupings for the type of media. VanTucky  (talk) 00:00, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Marshino at AfD
Hi,

I prodded Marashino last night, and you removed the prod a while after. I've since nominated the article for deletion. I respect your move to remove the prod, but I still would like to have a discussion at AfD as to whether or not this band passes Wikipedia's Notability criterion.

My reasoning is that this band seems to have only received a bit of local press, self-released a couple releases, played at a pay-to-play battle-of-the-bands, and played a show at a festival local to their city. By those criterion, even my band would be deserving of a Wikipedia article; but my own understanding of Wikipedia rules conflicts with this.

Of course, some articles with dubious notability get improved when they go to AfD (I was involved in repairing one of these myself); that's another reason for my taking this article to AfD. It's certainly acceptable, in the case of many stubs here at Wikipedia, to say "it's a bad article now, but it can be improved someday". Unfortunately, without being taken to AfD, these articles may never be improved. The threat of deletion is often needed to inspire people to improve pages (that's how it worked with me, anyway).

Anyway, I appreciate your opinion, that's why I decided to let you know. Feel free to join in on the AfD.

Also, you intervened with my prod of another band, Frosthold. Same as above, I respect your opinion, but I'd like to get the opinion of other editors at AfD as well, so I'll be AfDing that article too. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 14:17, 20 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Further to the above - turns out Frosthold had been AfDed before, a couple years ago, and the result of the AfD was delete - meaning that page might end up being speedy-deleted under CSD:G4. We'll see. No big deal either way. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 14:32, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: Powerspace
You don't need to check with me before you move it. I trust your judgment on the article and it seems to be a fine job of improving. Move it to mainspace whenever you'd like. Best, IronGargoyle 17:34, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

AfD attention request
Not sure if this is out of order, but there's a somewhat contentions AfD (here) that has received little outside attention. Since the AfD was initiated, a number of single purpose accounts (likely sockpuppets) have started editing (and discussing on the talk page) the article; not !voting, fortunately. In any case, I wanted to see if some AfD regulars could stop by and weigh in. I'm not looking to sway !votes here—I haven't targeted deletionists; I'm asking editors that seem to !vote a lot on music-related AfDs. No reply is necessary but your opinion is valued.

on the Hippopotamus nomination for FA-status.
