yes but the 'wikifying' as you call it makes the page look cluttered unprofessional and messy, please stop changing it because it is better as a table and if you want to change it again leave a message on the disscussion page first and ask other users their opinionDrMotley (talk) 18:10, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Could you please tell me why the hell you keep removing the images I put on. I have given them source information. -Mike kelly09

New Busch
The page is crying for a nice photo of the new park, maybe similar to the one that was deleted, only with a game in progress and showing the distance markers so that question will be settled. If someone could take a photo from atop the Arch, like the other 3, that would also be good. I would do it myself except I'm 500 miles away. d:) Wahkeenah 07:24, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

World Series teams
Since you added the World Series team categories to Walker Cooper's article, I thought I'd ask a question I posted to Floydspinky71's talk page last month (and a few others since): Are the categories for members of World Series champions really necessary? I can't help thinking it would be more economical to simply include the roster of the champion team in the article for that year's World Series (most of the WS articles could use some serious expansion). There's already something of a glut of categories on some articles, including those for baseball players with numerous All-Star appearances. (Between All-Star games and WS champions alone, Yogi Berra would end up with 25 categories, in addition to another 15 already on his page.) I don't think it's advantageous to have that many categories on an article; at some point, it gets difficult to wade through them, and individual categories become easy to miss.

Image:April Downloads 014.jpg
Please do not arbitarily change licenses. All images on Wikipedia are required to have a source and a license. It is unclear from the image description page of this image what the source is. It might be User:Mdglazerman but it certainly doesn't say so. If it's to be licensed under the GFDL, as you had tried to do, then we still need to know who the author is. You'll notice that I'd replaced this specific image in the Busch Stadium article infobox with a properly sourced and licensed image (I only point this out to demonstrate that I'm not just attempting to get rid of good pictures).

Wiki Credits
As per wiki:

A track listing should generally be formatted as a numbered list.


 * 1) "Complete song title" (John Doe, Brian Smith) – 4:23
 * 2) *First verse: Name of rapper
 * 3) *Second verse: Name of rapper
 * 4) *Samples: Name of sample source (preferably including artist, song, and album)
 * 5) "Complete song title" (Doe, Kelly Kalamazoo) – 3:24
 * 6) "Complete song title" (Doe, Kalamazoo, Smith, David Whitman) – 2:34

As you can see, after a person's full name is listed, only the last name need be listed in subsequent credits. Please be sure to read references carefully before citing them when reverting edits. Darwin&#39;s Bulldog (talk) 05:44, 5 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I completely agree. Recently I have reverted several instances of someone changing a track list as formatted above, to one where names are in full, and wikilinked, on every song.  I take it you found an instance where I reverted in the other direction.  If so, it was an error on my part, or perhaps I was attempting to revert something else and the example you listed just got caught up in the change.  Usually when reverting, I quote the revelvant instruction page, which is WP:ALBUM, in the edit summary.  (Whoops, I see your example was copied from that page – never mind!)  Hopefully you have corrected whatever was done wrong, and if so, thanks. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 13:53, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Triggerofmylovegun.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Triggerofmylovegun.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 description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Suede discography
Hi, nice work on the Suede discography, its looking really good. I just made a few edits in accordance with MOS:DISCOG, but overall well done. AFAIK, its comprehensive aside from a list of their music videos and the video album(s) they've released (and the lead needs to be made a little more concise). Do you plan to take it to WP:FLC? I've written a couple of FLs myself so if you want any help, feel free to ask. indopug (talk) 15:52, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I've added the music videos, I think we're almost done. Couple of things, we need to whittle down the number of singles charts to ten and add this DVD in a Video album section (no idea Allmusic lists it under "Suede Chain" though). For UK certifications, you can see The Libertines discography--basically search for them at bpi.co.uk. indopug (talk) 16:19, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, there's a MoS guideline somewhere that requires British-subject articles to use British English and date formats. indopug (talk) 15:49, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Heatseekers
What I meant is that it's not the main American album chart. That's the Billboard 200. Heatseekers chart chats records that haven't made it onto the Billboard 200 yet. The Billboard 200 is infinitely more important than the Heatseekers chart. WesleyDodds (talk) 09:52, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know. My concern was that it was misleading without clearly indicating that the chart positions were on the Heatseekers chart. With discographies, the automatic assumption people make is that if they're looking at an album's chart placing in the US under a column that merely says "US" (even if it links to the Heatseekers page), they're looking at the Billboard 200. WesleyDodds (talk) 09:59, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's important to indicate that you are not using a country's primary chart in the tables to avoid confusion. Otherwise the impression is that Suede's albums did pretty well in the US, which they did not by a longshot. WesleyDodds (talk) 10:05, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: This
"Rumoured" is not a misspelling; it is an English variant of the Americanised (Americanised is also not a spelling error) "rumored". [sic] would be the correct coding for it if it were an actual "misspelling". On Wikipedia, when we quote things, we use sic for mistakes that appear in the original text; there is no mistake in that text excepting the speculation, which I shall now remove. If you would like me to explain anything further, please do not hesitate to contact me, friend. Scarian Call me Pat!  17:28, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Of course, I dig that. I didn't want anyone to think it was an error though... which is almost circular logic... Bah, never mind. I do apologise if what I wrote seemed a little aggressive.

Personnel sections
What is your precendent for making the Personel sections as they are in those articles? If you read here, it just says to put the personnel in a bulleted list. Featured album articles like Blood Sugar Sex Magik and In Utero don't do this. If you check here, from what I can see the majority of featured album articles just have a regular bulleted list. I remember when working on Ten (Pearl Jam album) for good article status that it was said to just have it as a regular bulleted list. If this is a new policy for Personnel sections then okay, but I would like some clarification. I like to have consistency when working on articles so if this is a new policy I'll integrate it into other articles I work on, but from what I can see it is not recommended to do Personnel sections this way.-5- (talk) 03:04, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I have submitted questions regarding this to WikiProject Albums and another Wikipedia user whose judgment I trust so I just want to ask that you hold off on this for now until I get a definitive answer.-5- (talk) 04:19, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm not making this about me, and I ask that you don't either. I always have the best interest of articles in mind. In this case, I'm just going by everything I've learned over the past three years and evidence I've provided. There will be a definitive answer, and I will accept it if it is favorable to your stance. Please relax.-5- (talk) 04:31, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't want to feel ownership over the articles I edit. I am pleased when other editors add good material to the articles. Unfortunately, building these articles up over the past few years has left me with a sense of pride over them. When I see an edit that displeases me, I have no qualms about being bold, and I can see how that might piss people off. I love for the articles I work on to have consistency. In this case, I'm simply going by what I've learned over the past few years working on other articles. By reverting your edit, I was just going by how I think the article should look, just as you did. It's strange looking at the articles now because they don't match up to the other album articles I've worked on, like a sense of being incomplete I guess?

Anyway, I'm rambling. My stance is based on what I've learned from other Wikipedia users. When I get an updated answer I'll gladly change the other album articles I work on to match these pages. I hope that clarifies some things.-5- (talk) 04:47, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Sure Know Something promo.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Sure Know Something promo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 10:33, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Suede
Hi Darwin, i'm glad to hear that an American like yourself is a fan of Suede. From all the research and reading i've done on Suede, it seems hard to avoid the subject of their lack of success in the states, however i'm pleased you're one of the few trans-atlantic followers. I've been very disappointed at the quality of Suede's articles and had been planning to expand them for a while, i just didn't know where to start. I'm quite surprised at the amount of Suede related sources online, there was more than i thought, especially for Dog Man Star and Suede. I have also been using Suede's biography Love and Poison as a very useful source. I would like to see Dog Man Star and Suede promoted to GA standard, and possibly even Featured article. I feel that the band article, Suede could be improved and expanded considerably as it seems to rely on one main source. I'd appreciate your help contributing to these articles as i think its time they got the attention they deserve.PhilOak (talk) 17:25, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Grunge. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. JD554 (talk) 14:49, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of works with different titles in the United Kingdom and United States. 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 Notability and "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(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/List of works with different titles in the United Kingdom and United States. 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.

I noticed that you have removed Scallions from the song's writing credits at Playlist: The Very Best of Fuel and Sunburn. His name is mentioned at the BMI database which (this far) I've believed to be a reliable source, and that is why made also other changes to album info based on it. I have the said Legacy album and in the song credits (the pdf file) only Bell is credited for all tracks, but it wouldn't be the first time there's typos and other errors printed on the album cover. Since you seem to be very knowledgeable about Fuel, I'd like to hear your thoughts about this source first, instead of just reverting and adding citation. --Sk4170 (talk) 21:59, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Oasis Songs - take me
hi, i noticed on the oasis song list article you seem to think "take me was a rain song" but it was written by liam who wasn't in the rain he was in oasis he changed the name when he joined the singer of the rain was chris hutton not liam, he wasn't in the rain therefore it is an unreleased oasis song, they recorded it and it is on their lost tapes.

there are recorded versions of it it wasn't live only, and even if it was that shouldn't disqualify it as i will believe is listed (the only version available was a live version)

it is also reffered to as an oasis song in tony mccaroll (former oasis drummer) 's book. so recorded performed live just unreleased. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.8.51.110 (talk) 23:05, 18 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Get your facts straight. Hutton was the original singer of the Rain, Liam replaced him as singer. The group changed its name to Oasis after Noel joined the group. From what I’ve read, “Take Me” was the only song of Liam’s that Noel considered keeping when the group transitioned from the Rain to Oasis, but he ultimately decided against it.


 * If there is a version of it somewhere, it’s got to be a Rain version, not an Oasis version.


 * I haven’t been involved with the song “I Will Believe” whatsoever. (I didn’t include it in the article). If it was a live only song, then it should be removed. Darwin&#39;s Bulldog (talk) 00:11, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

the version thats on the lost tapes clearly has noel on it, cause it has lead guitar as well as a rhythm guitar, and i have my facts straight almost as soon as liam joined they changed their name to oasis. just look around on youtube there are at least two different versions.

License tagging for File:Earl Hindman.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Earl Hindman.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 04:06, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

One Loophole
There is one way an extinct animal can "create future fossils," in that, a fossil can become a "zombie taxon" by eroding out of its original stratum/matrix and, if it survives being eroded out, be redeposited in a much later stratum. For instance, the explanation behind why a Cambrian trilobite cephalon was found in Miocene deposits of the Riversleigh lagerstatte.--Mr Fink (talk) 18:44, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited FBI on The Sopranos, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page All Due Respect (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

MDNA (album)
It has been discussed before here that iTunes information shouldn't be used regularly, but can be used for certain circumstances. The MDNA pre-order was available exclusively on iTunes, thus it's rational to include information about its performance on the retail. That's an all-time record that should be informed in the article. Lady Gaga's Born This Way album and "Born This Way" (GA-class article) also include iTunes and Amazon. Regards.

File source problem with File:Teardrop Rapist Composite.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Teardrop Rapist Composite.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Chris Benson


The article Chris Benson has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * Non-notable individual. Could not find any referenced whatsoever.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:HOU 1094.gif
Thank you for uploading File:HOU 1094.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Greetings. Has be said, this format you've chosen looks like ass. "Except where noted" should warrant the use of the  parameter since there is only one instance of a different writer(s). What we have now is one solitary  parameter sticking out like a sore thumb, way over to the right. I won't argue over it, but that's how I see it.

File permission problem with File:Masters of Universe figure 2006.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:Masters of Universe figure 2006.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add permission pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
