Disambiguation link notification for June 11
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Murcof, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Salsa, Tambora and Steve Roach (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.

Drmies (talk) 15:14, 11 June 2013 (UTC) Rutgermuller (talk) 15:41, 11 June 2013 (UTC)Quite a clever suggestion. I'm taking it slowly here anyway, so I'm going to think about how to do it best. I'll make better citations too. BTW the page was a small stub when I started. , I was taking this as an example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphex_Twin. I think many electronica freaks are actually looking for the in depth details, explaining about different projects influencing each other. Or has a different approach been taken there? Another question. I don't understand how to properly reply here in the conversation thread/tree...

 * Rutgermuller, I'm trying to help you with that article. You had already removed important material such as categories and various other templates; I restored them and added the Reflist template. Those headings, they are too many and contain detail that isn't conducive to reading. There is no need to include the guy's age in every heading, for instance, and there's simply too many of them. You can revert my edits, but you shouldn't do so without an explanation in the edit summary, and the reverts you made do not improve the article. In addition, it would be helpful if you cite more properly--see WP:CITE on how to do that, and see the examples of citation templates I put in the article (currently, notes 2, 16, 17. Thank you.

 * Drmies I think I accidentally messed up some code, I didn't purposely remove those sections. Thanks for restoring. So what do you exactly want me to do ? Make less bio sections? I think each of these sections are milestones in his life, and I'm using my masters thesis as a reference for this, I graduated on writing about his music. Agreed on taking out the ages though. Rutgermuller (talk) 15:24, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your note. Yes, fewer sections is good, since the article looks totally chopped up with so many headings. Biographies typically do work chronologically, of course, but it would help to also keep them together thematically (like I tried with those last two albums). Actually, given that he's got two or three different projects, it might be better to have a more condensed biography, more bare-bones, and have different sections for Terrestre, Nortec, etc--that allows you to keep chronology intact and it not be disrupted by extensive text on projects, instrumentation, influences, et cetera. Yes, the more I think about it, the more I think that's the way to go. Try to give that a shot: make individual sections (at the ==title== level), move some of the bio material to those sections, and scrap the headings (or most of them) in the bio section. If you don't like that, well, you can revert it. But I'm telling you, it'll make for easier reading, and it allows more in-depth discussion of music and reviews and stuff in those sections, and a better reading biography in a main biographical section. Good luck. Drmies (talk) 15:36, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
 * It appears to me that you are looking for further assistance from . I've pinged him and he should be by at his convenience.  Good luck! , I forgot to sign... Now it should work. Technical 13 (talk) 16:00, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
 * <--These bullets are asterisks. Click on edit to see what I did. Sign, with four tildes, at the end of your message. There's some advice on Talk_page_guidelines (probably more than you want). Aphex Twin is not a bad example, though it's not a great article. Daft Punk is better, and it's a Good Article (note the little green cross, top left). Anyway, good luck with it and drop me a line on my talk page (!) when you need a hand. Drmies (talk) 16:08, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
 * BTW, did you see that Technical13 linked my name, rather than just type it as text? That sends me a notification that there's a message for me somewhere. Drmies (talk) 16:08, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the further advice ! I've thought a lot about the structure of the biography for the past hours, and I would please like to write the purely chronological story including all of Corona's projects. For me the point of this biography is to unravel where Corona's many influences came from, and how they led to his Murcof esthetics. Mostly musical influences, as well as some major life events (child born, moving to other continent) that Corona has stated to be influential. I mean that all of his projects are in some way connected. I hope you can agree with this structure, and I'm always open for suggestions. I'm not trying to be stubborn, but this is simply the way I would like to read his bio. I hope you respect I will revert some of your changes. Because of my limited time to work on this Wikipedia page I'm going to go ahead and work on it now, sorry I can't wait for your confirmation at the moment.

 * Great job pinging  directly.  I feel confident that my work is done here and I am unwatching.  Happy editing! Technical 13 (talk) 20:56, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks Technical 13 ! Rutgermuller (talk) 20:58, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, I don't see how that would make for a very readable page, but to each his own. Drmies (talk) 21:05, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Appreciate you're thinking along . For me much of the information is just crucial, although it might be a bit too detailed for some readers. As a solution maybe somebody can add a summary later, or write about his former/side projects more deeply in separate sections. I'll keep your advice on readability in mind.Rutgermuller (talk) 21:17, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Got an idea. I'm going to try to group it a bit more per style in stead of project and album. See if I can reduce the amount of sections. Rutgermuller (talk) 21:33, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
