re: neurofunk article and editor bakemono
Robert,

I apologize for not getting to this sooner. As of late I have been moving into a new apartment and in the past three days I've finally set up internet. If you could give me a small amount of time to do some research into the matter and allow me to get back to you, I will see what assistance I can lend towards solving this problem. :-)

Peace,

אמר Steve Caruso  ( desk / AMA )  14:13, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

thanks for getting back to me steve. bakemono proposed to submit his version of the definition of neurofunk so im waiting to see it. maybe, him and i can reach an agreement and wiki will win at the end. otherwise, i think i did an excellent job - unfortunately alone - as far as this article goes. i appeciate your help.

best, robert

Well...
What exactly do you propose, then? I see no long-term solution unless we can reach a long-term compromise and we find some sort of "middle ground" in the whole disagreement. But as I said before, I'm open to amicable talks that lead to logical conclusions and conform to Wikipedia guidelines. But as it is, you can't just write an article without any factual basis to support your claims -- which is what you've done to the Neurofunk article -- and then try and pass it off as absolute fact. If it's one of many possible "theories" about Neurofunk, whether it's truly a style, its separation from Techstep, etc., fine... but it has to be written as such in a much broader article that lists criticisms of said claim and points out that it's only 'theory' (one of many) and not the straight, undeniable, pedantic history of the evolution of Neurofunk, as you're trying to pass it off as now.

Neurofunk
Hey there Kridian. The reason I put that tag on the Neurofunk article is that the lists (signature recordings, signature mixes) are very very long and really not necessary - the rest of the article is a very good explanation, and covers most bases as it is listing artists and record labels, so the lists of tracks really don't add much. What I propose is that the list should be replaced with a few samples. With samples and also finding references (which is definitely something I'd be prepared to sit down and help with), this article is reaching GA level. - Zeibura Talk 20:27, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

hello zeibura
i agree. i deleted perhaps 40% to 50% of the tunes on signature recordings leaving only the pure classics (20 for each list). i also deleted signature mixes - not necessary - and ended up deleting "see also techstep, etc" which was not necassary either. thanks for you advice. if you wish to add samples, pls go ahead. i just dont know how to do it as i mostly have vinyls - perhaps its easier if you have some cd versions. let me know what you wish to do and how many samples you think will work well. maybe i can send you a list of 5 classics. thanks, kridian (rob).
 * Hey, I propose we continue this discussion at Talk:Neurofunk. I've made a post there :) - Zeibura Talk 20:29, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale
Hey Kridian, cheers for telling me, I've added the copyright info and fair use rationale. Copyright info is easy to find on discogs btw; the rule of thumb is that the music belongs to who wrote it (which isn't as important in this case) and the recording belongs to the record label (which is very important). so if in doubt, a "Recording: copyright (record label) (year of release)" will be enough to save it from deletion for a time.

Sorry I haven't done much on neurofunk recently, I've been getting distracted by another couple of fervent pushes for GA promotion and also releasing an EP in real life. I'll sit down one night soon and just look for loads more citations. - Zeibura (Talk) 13:05, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

thanks Zeibura
thanks again for a good job, its excellent to work out this article with someone who knows. whenever you have time, pls help out ´cause i believe its valuable for dnb and good luck with the EP.

Image copyright problem with Image:Rls00673.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Rls00673.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Jusjih (talk) 02:29, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Phace interview
Hey. Yeah, it won't let you insert the myspace link, but the same thing appeared in MixMag so that's no big deal, you just need to say what issue and when it was.

hi tiptoey
i took the text - basically 98% of my sole writing since late 2006 - back to a minimal form because i want to re-arrange the format with new clips and art, apart from already having additional updated info for 2008 so please, if you dont mind, leave it at the place where i had left it until art and clips arrives in a couple of days.

thanks

Neurofunk
Hi. Glad you're happy with the infobox overhaul. What kind of difficulty are you having with the link? Sardanaphalus (talk) 17:14, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, an interview in Mixmag. Is it a mixmag.net link? If so, maybe the problem is (or was) that mixmag.net prevents any linking without permission -- e.g. maybe the interview is still copyrighted -- but this is interpreted as spam/vandalism protection by Wikipedia. (I'm just guessing.) I got no results when I tried a quick search for Phace at the mixmag site (does that sound odd?), so, if you provide the link, I can try it/look into it. (If needs be, make sure it isn't treated as a link when you post it here, e.g. by replacing the dots with "[dot]".)
 * Google suggests you asked Zeibura and Tiptoey for help, but did they draw a blank or just get distracted? Sardanaphalus (talk) 19:51, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * If you have any problems with a link suggested by the forum, send another message and I'll see if I can help. (If I can't, I think I'd suggest the Village pump (assistance) as the place to copy your request for help.) Looking at the work you've put into the article, neurofunk certainly sounds like a subgenre worth its own page. Sardanaphalus (talk) 21:47, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Linked added, in the right place I hope (second ref). You should be able to use the format there for similar kinds of links in the future; just make sure there's no spaces in the internet address. Sardanaphalus (talk) 00:20, 10 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Done, except I kept the "by Francesco Caccamo (ATIM)" info that might help finding a new source if the drumandbassmovement.it link stops working. Also, why retrieved January 2007 rather than April 2008?
 * I also did some formatting elsewhere in the article (see the article's history page for notes). Hope it's okay. Some of the "&"s looked like parts of band/collaboration names, so I left them alone.
 * I agree that editing refs can be tricky. I reckon they'd be easier to handle outside the main text of the article, but maybe there's a good reason why they aren't.
 * I also removed the Energy Flash refs -- you don't have any link or links for that? Sardanaphalus (talk) 01:14, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi again. I've commented out the name in the Phace interview ref here and moved ref 3's (No U-Turn Records) definition next to ref 1 and ref 2 in paragraph 1 here. I've then added another reference to it here, next to Konflict. Hope what I've done is correct and you can see what's involved. My only suggestion for the pictures is that it might be a good idea to stagger the We Enter and Tightrope/Climax covers rather than have them squeeze the text between themselves, in case people look at the article in a small browser window. I'll read through the article again a bit later (fresh look) and see if it's still working well. Sardanaphalus (talk) 03:22, 12 April 2008 (UTC) PS The return of the problem with the infobox colors is because User:Nazzzz has reverted Infobox Music genre (check out its recent history). I've left a couple of messages on his/her (I guess it's his) talkpage and am waiting for a followup response.

att: sardanaphalus
great job!! i can write about the music but i have difficulties with technical work here. your changes made it better so it inspired me to clean up the article a bit. the info box should remain silver unless anyone has a good reason to paint it black or pink for that matter. here´s some necessary changes:

1) no u turn link is there because the label pioneered techstep and neurofunk. actually, the same crew who created techstep in 1996 - trace & ed rush - created neurofunk in 1998 - optical, matrix, ryme tyme & ed rush - as a result of no u-turn label being a very tight knit crew where very few people were welcome to interfere. what happened later was that there was a split of this crew, not for musical reasons but mainly for money reasons. so no u-turn link is valuable for the article as a whole and thats where the original simon reynolds' coining the term "neurofunk" can be found. otherwise, for actual proof of neurofunk as a subgenre, the noisia & phace interviews are the best because it mentions all the pioneers of this style and contemporary artists who continues doing it. also, in order to find reinolds' coining the neurofunk term on no u-turn link, you have to search hard within their web while its an easy click to find the same text on noisia & phace interview.

2) konflict: any mention of konflict should be linked to phace interview.

3) neurofunk: any mention of neurofunk linked to noisia & phace interviews but 1 link is enough i guess.

4) ed rush, optical and matrix: linked to nosia & phace interviews.

5) i added ANALOG to definition of neurofunk in relation to wormhole album. phace interview should be linked where analog is mentioned because they claim that - according to them - the true sound of neurofunk was the early ANALOG sound of ed rush & optical which i call "the prototype sound". of course that phace themselves changed that by going digital between 2003 & 2007.

my suggestion is that we delete no u-turn´s "a, b. and c" in relation to neurofunk but keep the link there as the root cause of the style since it also claims the creation of techstep, aside pioneering neurofunk. maybe we should write next to no u-turn link: SOURCE OF NEUROFUNK AND TECHSTEP, something in that vein, otherwise all references should be linked to noisia & phace interview, specially phace which is more complete.

do what you think is best with pictures but i see the dubstep article with photos as the perfect example of how neurofunk should be. how can we get neurofunks infobox the size of dubstep's box?? both subgenres are similar and small so neurofunk's box should be the same size as dubstep's. also, can we get clips box smaller - as in dubstep - on the left hand side with text flowing on right hand side??

Kridian


 * Great, teamwork is what Wikipedia is all about. First, as you've seen, the working version of Infobox Music genre has been restored. So long as no-one reverts it again, the colors should stay put. About your points:
 * 1) So, do you only want one link to the No U-Turn ref, the one at the start of the article? I replaced the one next to the Reynolds quote with one that attributes the quote to Reynolds' book. I've also moved the original (the first) ref to the end of the sentence so it can be read as applying to neurofunk and techstep (as you're saying above). Sorry if I've misunderstood anything.
 * 2) I think Wikipedia style is only to ref the first mention of something that's repeated during an article (in this case, Konflict). So the single link next to Konflict at the start of the Overview section should be fine.
 * 3) Yes, you get the idea, one link should be enough.
 * 4) Already taken care of in the opening sentence, yes?
 * 5) Okay, I added a link to the Phace ref next to "analog". Hope that works.
 * I checked out Dubstep and have tried staggering the two covers in Neurofunk I mentioned before. I reckon the rest of the pic positions look fine. Neurofunk's infobox height is a bit more than Dubstep's but that's because there's more info in it; the widths look the same here, which is what I think counts. Or are you seeing something different?
 * I'm not sure changing the size of the clips box and moving it into the text is a good idea. It looks a bit cramped in Dubstep here. Also, the cover pics in the text already bring it to life and trying to cram the clips box in there too might be too much. If you wanted me to try it anyway, where would you put it (beside which paragraph)?
 * I'm going to read through the article again now and might rephrase a couple of sentences. Anything you don't like can be undone. Sardanaphalus (talk) 02:39, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi again. You're right and I left the "I'm going to stop as I think I've started rewriting the article" summary when I realized I'd probably got carried away. Sorry. I didn't undo the rewriting in case you found any of it useful. So, I've now restored the article to the point before I began rewriting it, i.e. just after I'd worked through the points above. If you can say whether everything above is okay or if/how refs and positions still need adjustment, I can try to make these adjustments and the article should be back on track. Sorry again for getting carried away. Sardanaphalus (talk) 12:19, 13 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay and thanks for filling in more of the story. Just seen you've restored the article to how it was before I tried sorting out any of your points above -- does that mean I misunderstood your ref and pic position requests, or are you rethinking them? Sardanaphalus (talk) 12:57, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Just got your latest and done the Phace refs in the Overview section. Do you only want one U-Turn ref now, at the very end of the article's first sentence (i.e. after "techstep.") or did I get the wrong idea? Those two URLs you gave me -- Lodge and Inamorata albums -- do you want them included in an External references section, or as footnote refs like the Phace interview etc, or are they just for my education (thanks!)...? The Jazz fusion article: did you try to point out on its talkpage where you saw it going off the rails (if so, did people just ignore you?) or did you think it's too far gone? Can you remember a date when it was in good shape? I'm just curious to see the difference, so don't worry if this bit too much distraction to answer now. Sardanaphalus (talk) 01:22, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Glad the links are now okay. Re "notes" and "references", I get the idea the Wikipedia community isn't sure of a difference between them. I'd say that those little superscript numbers next to words in the text are footnote markers, so I'd assume they'd link to a "Notes" or "Footnotes" section toward the end of an article, but many (most?) pages seem to link them to a section headed "References". Also, the template that tends to be used to display them is called, not  or  or something like that. I'd say references are things like book citations, like the one in Neurofunk. So, yes, it seems a bit confused in Wikipedia to me. You can find out what the little "a"s, "b"s, etc next to the footnote/reference numbers mean by clicking on them.
 * What you say has happened to Jazz fusion is the biggest concern I think I have with Wikipedia. Let's say an article reached a near-ideal condition sometime in 2006. Yes, it's possible its condition now in 2008 might be even slightly more improved, but isn't it far more likely to've gone downhill? Also, those folk coming to it for the first time in 2008 will probably never see how it was in 2006 and might then spend time and energy trying to improve it when that had already been done by 2006!! That seems a real flaw to me.
 * I visited the Lodge and Inamorata links but was disappointed that the links to clips in the Lodge thread don't seem to work...? The ones in the Inamorata thread worked fine tho. What I like is that there's some real melody as well as all the rhythmic funk going on -- hmm guess that makes me old-fashioned -- but I'm also guessing that's a major point of the style. Okay, weird, possibly heavy question time: Do you know if any of these funk fusion artists use things like cellular automata and artificial life to produce and explore rhythms (and maybe melodies/harmonies too)?

Notes→References: Okay. I've just seen that you've added a mention of Reynolds' book to the opening paragraph, but with a footnote link to U-Turn...? If you want everything as "References" only, the details of Reynolds' book will need to become a footnote, maybe something like this:

Neurofunk is a sub-genre of drum and bass pioneered by producers Ed Rush, Optical and Matrix, between 1997 and 1998 in London, England as a progression of techstep. It was further developed...

......

References

If a footnote link is used more than once in an article, as (currently) with the Phace and No U-Turn links, then Wikipedia will automatically add the little "a"s, "b"s, etc. So, as far as I know, the only way to avoid these would be to refer to each footnote only once. I don't think this is what you'd want and probably me neither, as it would remove some associations/information. Yes, I wish this whole footnote/reference stuff in Wikipedia was more user-friendly.

Thanks for the latest links, especially the one giving some context to Inamorata. Don't worry about my "heavy" question -- it's just an idea I've had idling around the back of my head for years, like the old 'If I was gonna write a novel, this is what I'd write' thing but in music rather than words.


 * Okay, I hope what I've done is correct. I reinstated (and extended) the copyedit of the opening paragraph as there were a few too many commas hanging around. Sardanaphalus (talk) 05:00, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

"The template Ndash is being considered for deletion"
Hi again Kridian. Yes, these little messages are appearing because the deletion of the ndash template is being discussed. I've asked the user who proposed the discussion whether there's a less disruptive way to indicate this situation -- if not, we could either live with them until the discussion is over or I could paste the article into a word processor and replace all the – es in it with  (which is what – does).

If you're leaving Wikipedia, at least for now, pay a visit some weeks or months down the line and see how Neurofunk stands. Better still, start adding material on another subject, related or unrelated. There'll always be something needing to be done. Sardanaphalus (talk) 22:02, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. The problem I see with Wikipedia is that the quality of articles can go down as well as up over time and unless you go rooting through the history, you don't know whether what you're looking at is an improvement on something that was dire but previously much better, or something that seems pretty good but actually is beginning to degrade because it was once top quality, etc, etc, etc. The good version or versions of the jazz fusion article are there, but to find them will need some looking through the history from around six months ago, after which I'd try reintroducing the good content here and there, not all at once, otherwise the people currently looking at the article would probably recoil. The version six months ago today is this one (last edited 13 March 2008) -- I haven't read it, but if it's any better than the current version, you could try using it to replace one or two paragraphs or sentences in the current version, then maybe one or two more, etc...

Neurofunk
Hi again Rob, sorry for the delay before this reply.

You're probably right about the article, i.e. try leaving it for a long time (a year?) then visit it again when there may be more consensus about neurofunk. Alternatively, it might be worth including the statement that neurofunk is still relatively new, with diverging opinions among people who follow it. In other words, make your observation about this difficulty part of the article. Also, do you think those people who disagree with you or have a point of view to push would write a section describing their take on the music to sit alongside a section by you? (In other words, include the alternative points of view in the article, so long as they have references.) I think this would follow from the statement that there isn't yet a consensus about the genre. Hopefully anyone new coming to the article would rate your more objective description, and, if they were a neurofunk fan, would either endorse it or improve the objectivity of the opposing section. Okay, that might not happen -- they might make the article even less objective -- but maybe by then there'd be more of a consensus to work with. Just some ideas, but I'd understand if you've had enough of the article at least for now. Hold onto that version you're happiest with, as it might be useful in year's time...

Same goes for the jazz fusion article. Even if you've also had enough of that for now, come back in six months or a year's time, see how it stands and perhaps try putting some of the quality you feel has gone back into it -- it may get a better reception. I'm beginning to think the way to go with any unresolved Wikipedia article is to have people with conflicting views write separate sections (rather than compete for a single description) and then other people who come along can judge for themselves as regards the quality of each section. I guess my belief is that those sections with more substance, more objectivity, would ultimately survive.

This has been a bit rambling, but I don't have time right now to edit and mix it down. Hope it's useful somehow, though. Best wishes, Sardanaphalus (talk) 16:53, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
