I went in and did the addendum to the review. I placed the G.A. listing in a new template at the top of the article talk page. I'm guessing that the little bot (above) will electronically complete the classification process by removing the old junk in the templates right under the G.A. listing I put in. If the that doesn't happen, maybe I should go and do it myself (but would that get me in trouble?). As far as I am concerned the article is now G.A. and should be officially recognized as such. ] (]) 18:53, 2 July 2015 (UTC) | |||

Thank you for your message; I don't mind helping at all. From scanning your 'talk' page, it looks like you and I have similar tastes in music. I haven't done any major writing in Misplaced Pages in quite a while (though I still make small contributions regularly), so I might be a little behind the times. Uploading an image to Misplaced Pages is a little tricky, and it took me several tries to get the hang of it, but here is some instruction that should help you: <i>https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:File_Upload_Wizard</i> . (There might be a new version of the 'upload wizard' that could make it easier than it was back when I was doing this a lot). Album covers, single covers and those kinds of things are automatically usable in Misplaced Pages; and of course, the images are very easy to find on the Internet (I usually use the 'images' page in Google). Don't worry about finding a copyright tag or whatever when you save the image from that search – as long as the image is of the front cover, you are 100% covered for 'fair use' no matter how you find the image. I should amend that to say that album/single covers are automatically usable for articles about that album or about that single; for some reason, you are not allowed to use an album cover to illustrate an article about the band. Then there is some language that you need to attach with the uploaded file to show the 'use rationale' for the image, and that you are making it under 'fair use'. This is a relatively recent image that I uploaded which has the attachments in it: <i>https://en.wikipedia.org/File:StonePoneys-CD-2.jpg</i> . If you open the file as though you were going to edit it, that will show the details on what you need there. You can then copy that over to the file that is created after you upload an image. I always used a previous upload to get that stuff; the layout, etc. has to be exact, or it doesn't work right. The uploading goes to 'Wikimedia' actually, not to Misplaced Pages directly, so don't let that throw you off. Good luck. ] (]) 10:17, 17 July 2015 (UTC) | |||
:First, I am a huge fan of ] also; that was one of the first psych CD's that I got. I hear what you are saying, and I got a lot of fulfillment with my work in Misplaced Pages. I even got an "Original Barnstar" for one of my first lengthy articles, on ]. But I had a huge fight with the guardians of Misplaced Pages over my article on ]; while I finally won the war, it left a bad taste in my mouth. I loaded up articles on all of the ] albums, including ] – months and months of work – and they are gradually being deleted; even ] has been eliminated. About six months ago, I noticed that the majority of my contributions were being reverted – even one that I had put in a "disambiguation" page (I didn't understand that at all). Mind you, I wasn't changing wording; typically I was adding information. It is like people have staked out an article and have decided that they like it just the way it is, and nothing can get through. But don't mind me; that is just the way I feel based on my experience. Hopefully you are not having to go through something like that. I urge you to stick with it and keep up the good work; what you are doing is important, and it should be there 100 years from now. ] (]) 13:07, 19 July 2015 (UTC) | |||

What I have been doing for the last five years instead of writing in Misplaced Pages is creating posts in Facebook, and more recently, I have been putting the articles out in a website. What I call an 'under appreciated rock band' is one that does not have an article in Misplaced Pages yet. I also talk about a lot of other things in addition to the UARB.

I've just noticed how poor and thin the article on the album is. Entire books, and countless articles, have been written about it - one of the all-time great albums. I'd be willing to start making some improvements to the article - what do you think about joining in an improvement drive? ] (]) 10:21, 31 May 2016 (UTC) | |||
:{{u|Ghmyrtle}} I would be happy to help in any way I can. I have a book or two I can dig up that should lead to some more details (just gotta find them!). I could work on some of the background history and perhaps find more in-depth reviews for its reception section. Let me know how you want to divide the work and I can adjust to that. Thank you for including me in the project.] (]) 16:36, 31 May 2016 (UTC) | |||
::The best way to start it, I think, would be simply for each of us to use whatever sources we have and gradually piece a better article together. We could use a sandbox, or simply work on the article as it stands now - I don't have a strong view on how best to do it. So long as we know we are both working to the same end and can discuss anything that arises, I don't think there should be a problem. I have a couple of books, and of course we can find good online sources. I'm not promising to start it straight away, but I'll see if I get something going in the next week or two. ] (]) 17:05, 31 May 2016 (UTC) | |||
:::{{u|Ghmyrtle}} ok I got it. I need to finish an article to have space in my sandbox, so it will be a day or two before I start any editing. When that is complete, I'll focus on a little pre-history: mention the release of ''Da Capo'', the state of the band, and Arthur Lee's relationship with his bandmates. If I recall correctly, the group was rapidly deteriorating at the time recording sessions began so it should be an interesting backdrop to the album itself. We can stay in touch and ultimately I think we will create a much more in-depth article.] (]) 19:55, 31 May 2016 (UTC) | |||

I've now received the Einarson book, ''Forever Changes: Arthur Lee and the book of Love'', which looks pretty good and reliable to me. By the way, there is an article about the creation of the album in the new August 2016 issue of '']'', which is great to see, but a quick look suggests that it doesn't add anything new to the story. ] (]) 11:22, 18 June 2016 (UTC) | |||

:{{u|Frankzappatwin}} I like the additions thus far. The only thing you would need to remember is in titles not every word is capitalized (like "of, "and", "for", etc.) but other than that the edits are flawless. Just a recommendation, but if you like the Syndicate of Sound, you could write an article on their album. I believe it did chart so that would constitute notability. As for ''L.A. Woman'', I do not know what to say because sources claim the band performed well which is why they added the New Orleans concert.

::I am not saying that you need to alter it, I was just offering my opinion regarding a concert that I attended, over 45 years ago. Bass was too loud through most of the concert, the band was really only together on the ''L.A. Woman'' tracks, not their older stuff. Vocals were very uneven, Morrison forgot some of the older lyrics, especially towards the end of the show. Since that was the only Doors concert that I ever saw, maybe it went "well" by Doors standards. At least Morrison showed up. If you have access to the "Boot-Yer-Butt!" CD, side four, Love Her Madly, Ship of Fools, L.A. Woman and the Changeling were from that concert...listen for yourself and judge. Although Love Her Madly wasn't too bad | |||

L.A. Woman sounds like a different band to the earlier group, as they sound like they are enjoying playing together, whereas live gigs seemed to be a liability because of the audience or Morrison being fed up and not really caring much. I've wondered if Morrison had lived, would he had confirmed sometime around December '71 that he had quit the group, not least because the others started recording '']'' and Manzarek could at least cover the vocals well enough. ] ] ] 17:10, 18 July 2016 (UTC) | |||
==Unblock discussion and carry-to-AN discussion== | |||
{{Ritchie333}} first off, thank you for the review, you may see other Doors-related GA nominations in the coming months. In my opinion, I think Morrison would have taken a hiatus from the band, but would have eventually, maybe in five years or so, come back strictly for recording purposes. However, as sad as it is to say, I could never pictured an "old Morrison". The fact he made it out of the 1960s is a miracle in its own right. A part of me wishes he could have lived the simple poet's life in Paris, but that was not to be.] (]) 18:22, 18 July 2016 (UTC) | |||

I kept the appeal as is because this was my honest reflection of my mistakes, not a ruse meant to insult anyone’s intelligence.

Hello, I see you two (you and Garagepunk66) are creating all the 60s garage band pages I once intended to create but because of lacking of online sources (back then) and time I couldn't. All very well done. Keep up the good work. I will try and add some discographies to those articles when I get the time. And thank you for leaving a comment on my talk page couple of months ago.

:{{u|Elitropia}} thank you for the praise. I personally enjoyed your articles, especially the July page, that group is one of my favorite psychedelic bands. I think people are starting to see the importance of 60s garage in the digital age, which is leading to more online sources. Honestly, when I first started creating articles, I looked at your pages among others to learn the correct style and way of organizing. If you have time, you should message Garagepunk66 as well because he enjoys talking about 60s music as much as me.] (]) 22:50, 15 August 2016 (UTC) | |||

Per Mike's request, I have looked at the accounts in question here. The overlap between the accounts on two dynamic ranges and one semi-static IP address could not be more clear than in this case.

Sorry to jump in here randomly (your talk page was on my watchlist from that notice a few sections up), but there are a couple things I was surprised not to see come up here. I may have missed it, but if you haven't already, an alternative explanation for the apparent technical match (putting behavior aside altogether for the time being) would probably go a long way to helping your case, rather than just insisting it isn't you. I understand that may be a frustrating proposition, especially if you're not technically inclined, but there are some rather serious implications to consider. If it's a troll targeting you, the overlap should be cause for alarm, rather than just an on-wiki inconvenience, because that would mean he/she would be physically near you or engaging in some impressive technical undertakings to determine your IP and then spoof it -- something that has implications beyond Misplaced Pages. Another possibility is the far-fetched coincidence: someone (probably someone near you) happens to edit some of the same pages and has multiple times been given the same IP as you. On the other hand, I'll just say that I think most editors would empathize with someone who reached for a sock out of desperation, in reaction to well documented long-term harassment. The sock would still have to be blocked, and there would have to be a commitment not to do so again, but in that sort of scenario there's certainly an argument for a block of the main account to be unnecessary. Not saying that's what's going on here -- just saying I think most people would "get it", even if they don't condone it. — <tt>] <sup style="font-size:80%;">]</sup></tt> \\ 20:28, 30 September 2016 (UTC) | |||

Greetings, | |||
I hope you can read this {{u|Garagepunk66}}. From what I can tell, you are upset about what you heard. I want you to know I am innocent and the Checkusers simply ignored the very serious issues I brought forth. I do not care about the block anymore; I just do not want to lose a friend simply because '''three''' Checkusers refused to take me seriously after having a near perfect track record of staying out of trouble. If you doubt me, know that just an hour ago CrazyAces489 (again) sent me a hideous e-mail directed toward me, which boasted about how he fooled everyone and put me in my place. If you want on-wiki evidence, look at his other sockpuppets that were meant to attack you and me (] I found is just ALongStay 2.0 that was caught sooner). CrazyAces says he has every intention to do this again so my time here is limited if the same steps are taken by "experienced" Checkusers. I am in the process of accumulating months of technical evidence so this time I cannot be cyber-stalked and I will not have this troubling issue hang over my head anymore. If you do not want to talk to me, I understand but I am forever going to maintain my innocence on this issue.

:::That is nice to know {{u|Garagepunk66}}, now this week can go by with ease. I had Ritchie333, Bishonen, PRehse, Softlavender, Ghmyrtle, and Martenivan all agree that the situation does not seem right, but apparently that meant nothing. Even when CA mocked the CheckUser Mike V through my appeal, he seemed oblivious to the fact more was going on (or could not admit he made a mistake). I was simply dismissed even when I revealed the very real case of CA tracking my mobile device, which pokes large holes in accusing me of sockpuppetry. It was all "technical date" to him, but it was not paired with any common sense or humanity. ALongStay was/is another version of CrazyAces; I can safely say that now with the recent e-mails he has sent me in "celebration". Be careful in my absense, CA may take advantage of the situation because I know for a fact he traces our conversations based on his recent edits on sockpuppet accounts confirmed to his name. I may try to move my sandbox (which is inaccessible) projects to my Userpage so I can get some work done. You would think since blocks are not supposed to be punitive and I proclaimed that I only want to write, that I would be unblocked, but I guess Mike V does not want to right an obvious wrong. Anyways, take care and I hope this will be the last you hear of this bother.] (]) 17:47, 1 October 2016 (UTC) | |||

AfroCine: Join the Months of African Cinema this October!
Greetings!
After a successful first iteration of the “Months of African Cinema” last year, we are happy to announce that it will be happening again this year, starting from October 1! In the 2018 edition of the contest, about 600 Misplaced Pages articles were created in at least 8 languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000.
The AfroCine Project welcomes you to October, the first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to list your name under the participants section.
On English Misplaced Pages, we would be recognizing participants in the following manner:
- Overall winner (1st, 2nd, 3rd places)
- Diversity winner
- Gender-gap fillers
For further information about the contest, the recognition categories and how to participate, please visit the contest page here. For further inquiries, please leave comments on the contest talkpage or on the main project talkpage. See you around :).--Jamie Tubers (talk) 00:50, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

January 2020
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).TheGracefulSlick (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I was re-blocked originally for my deceitful behavior and nonchalant avoidance of a promise I made to the community as a condition of an early unblock request. I dug myself in a deeper hole thereafter by avoiding the block with two sockpuppets. After the second sock, I came at a crossroads: make another sock or truly evaluate what put me in this position in the first place. I stopped trying to cast blame on others and pointed the finger back at myself. But I am not here now to make excuses for the behavior and give the “correct” combination of words to persuade you to unblock me. I was disrespectful, arrogant, immature, and a liar who treated consensus (and hence the editors who formed it) like nothing; I believed I was always in the right and ought to do what suited me, regardless of the words of editors much more experienced than me. I don’t want to be that type of person—a narcissistic, conceited jackass—nor do I want that to be my final mark here. Having been working in my first job, I have learned from real-world experience the value of honesty, of teamwork, and of respect for others. I would like to believe I have matured since then. The only way I see how I can demonstrate an actual change in my character is by asking for the opportunity here, with the understanding it will be a long road before I can rebuild anyone’s trust in me. If I am granted that opportunity, I intend to finally fulfill my original pledge (avoiding controversial topic areas and modern-day politics indefinitely), as well as any additional conditions made here, to demonstrate that I truly respect the judgement of others. I also hope to resume improving content on women and WWII biographies. This, with the understanding that any lapse should result in a site ban with no chance of re-entry into the project. As this may very likely be my final opportunity to address the community, I extend my apologies. I know for many my words probably hold no value, and I have no one to fault for that but myself. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 00:26, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
Decline reason:
You must really think we're idiots. You already made this heartfelt apology last time you were unblocked. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 08:33, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
NinjaRobotPirate no I do not. If I am somehow calling you “idiots” for reflecting on what I did wrong, then I apologize. I wish for another admin to review this appeal and if they come to the same conclusion then I will reflect more on the errors I made.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 00:29, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:
(Note: I would like my appeal to be re-reviewed and sent to AN for community decision. I do not think anyone is an “idiot”. I was just reflecting on the mistakes I made. I do not know what else I am to do.) I was re-blocked originally for my deceitful behavior and nonchalant avoidance of a promise I made to the community as a condition of an early unblock request.

Decline reason:
I was initially sympathetic to this request but, on seeing I don't see the reasons for the block (the "uncontroversial edits" part) addressed. Given the history contained in that link, I think a generic unblock request of the sort above is insufficient. regentspark (comment) 14:44, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

Unblock discussion and carry-to-AN discussion
- I don't think we've ever interacted before. Hi, I'm Barkeep49. I'm curious what you make of the fact that your first unblock request sat unactioned for a day and what I should make of the fact that you decided to post the same appeal a second time without taking the (rather blunt but not exactly unfair) feedback offered to you by the first sysop to decline? Barkeep49 (talk) 05:12, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Barkeep49 I figured it stood for a day because I submitted the appeal rather late at night; I never thought much of that, honestly. I understood what the first sysop said but I have to respectfully disagree with it, especially the “idiot” part. I kept the appeal as is because this was my honest reflection of my mistakes, not a ruse meant to insult anyone’s intelligence. If I made another statement, it would feel too much to me like trying to find the “correct” answer to being unblocked. That seems disingenuous to me. If I am wrong for thinking that, I can reflect and work on another statement.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 08:14, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Barkeep49 I take it to mean CAT:RFU is perpetually backlogged. I for one am now incapable of parsing unblock requests. I find this request reasonable and have reason to believe there has not been recent socking, but I am living it to anyone with functional brain cells.-- Deepfriedokra 14:24, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- @Deepfriedokra: fair enough on the backlog (I don't normally patrol these parts) and I found it reasonable too. Of course their last unblock request to the community was also reasonable which is why it was accepted. I agree with RegentPark's (and before that NRP's) decline. I was looking for some more frank acknowledgement of the ways they abused the community's trust repeatedly including in this very process.
" avoidance of a promise I made to the community as a condition of an early unblock request"
just doesn't come close to grappling with that for me even if it is factually accurate and nominally addressing that legacy. Barkeep49 (talk) 16:59, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

@Barkeep49: I will be unavailable for much till Monday pm, florida time. If anyone is to carry this to AN, it must be someone else.-- Deepfriedokra 17:06, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Well it won't be me either. I recognize that TGS is right that if they had changed the wording from appeal 1 to appeal 2 that they'd have been criticized by some for that. Clearly I criticized them for not changing. That's the reality of the situation and it is, as they do acknowledge, one of their own making. I've already noted where I feel the statement comes up short and their reply gave me nothing to reconsider. Barkeep49 (talk) 17:36, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Barkeep49 clearly I should have discussed how I pleaded ignorance to conditions of my previous unblock when I knew I was obviously breaking them and attempting to manipulate the wording of the unblock to my advantage.I can try again in six months or so as I see I did not address everything I should have. Thank you.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 23:08, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
I'm happy to open a Standard Offer thread for TheGracefulSlick. I came here now having just done a bit of a cleanup on Them (band) and thinking "What happened to TGS, this sort of stuff is right up his street?" and came here. It's been over a year since the last block, and it seems that the problems stemmed from a lack of clarification over what he should and shouldn't do. Obviously I have a bit of a bias towards unblocking TGS as we've done great work together on a couple of articles. Ritchie333 13:32, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- Ritchie333 I would be happy to give it a try because I want to get back to helping. I have a lot to prove that I am worth another opportunity, and I intend to make the best of it.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:06, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, it's at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard#Standard offer : TheGracefulSlick, we'll see what happens. Ritchie333 21:26, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
- Ritchie333 I appreciate you sticking your neck out for me. I can tell the appeal will not go as I had hoped but at least it gave me some things to take away from it as an opportunity to grow. I will take the advice of users who recommended that I work on other projects. I am not sure where I will go because, in all honesty, writing articles is the one thing I was good at, but I will find a new way to help. Thank you so much for your faith in me. Hopefully someday I will be able to help out with that Them article. Take care.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 02:48, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Unblock request denied
Hey, I just closed your unblock request thread at AN as declined. The general consensus is against your unblock, still, I think you should contribute to other projects, so as to convince your peers that you can still be a positive contributor. --qedk (t 桜 c) 17:15, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
- I would certainly not discourage you from participating to other projects (Simple English, for instance, would let you still write content). But I'm not sure that will help you with being unblocked here and I would caution you about having that be your take away. There are going to be some number of people who feel you're out of chances and would oppose pretty much any appeal. Not a lot you can do there except acknowledge their right to feel that way. I think, however, there are some number of us (myself included) who could be convinced. I would read the thread before your next appeal - as painful as I am sure it is - and really try to address the concerns. For instance, could you lay-out a binding process you could use to re-establish trust? I'm reluctant to get into too many details because, at least for me, I need to know it comes genuinely from you and not through coaching or telling me (or others) what you think we want to hear. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:27, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
- Barkeep49 I appreciate the advice. I will not outline a process right now because I know it requires much more consideration—something I will do as I contribute in other ways over the next few months. I will certainly keep the thread saved and re-read it when the time comes. Thank you for your help and consideration.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:53, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

File source problem with File:The Reatards.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:The Reatards.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 seven 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 Misplaced Pages. 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.
