Cool. Just to let you know Blabbermouth is now at AFD (1 delete, 2 keeps) and i added some info, if you have anything else feel free to add. There needs to be a criticism section about pointless articles, trolls, and musicians commenting (which is hard to find) So yea I'll add that today or tomorrow, cheerio M3tal H3ad11:43, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
I'd help with the "Criticism" section but the way you've written it makes it difficult to contribute to it. There's much more from other bands criticising the site than Gene Simmons etc. LuciferMorgan17:29, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for that, i left the lead until last so i know what to include. Anyway I'll give it a read over after work (only 3 hour shift today :D). M3tal H3ad09:32, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the star, that 3 will hopefully grow to 6 - GHUA, Reigning and Dave, although all in good time. With Jihad you might want to reword the first paragraph of "Reception and criticism" as it says it's on Christ Illusion twice - "alongside fellow Christ Illusion album tracks" and later "hosting the track's inclusion". Also is there need for 'little' at "angular little guitar riff" just seems out of place and reads awkward. Anyway time to add the finishing touches to GHUA. Have a nice day, thanks again, and did you end up getting your site redesigned? M3tal H3ad10:28, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Could you take a quick look at the last few edits to this article and let me know if you think I'm being completely unreasonable? And more importantly, have I just violated the 3RR rule? I'm not sure. I don't often get involved in edit wars, so I don't know the procedures! Anyway, if you could give it a look, I'd be most grateful. Angmering18:32, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Yeah looks so. Read WP:3RR - I hope that you don't get in too much trouble. I'd expect a block rather soon... that anon's an asshole. When you get questioned over it, explain you done all that hard work and added all the cites. He's sectioning the lead - I'm reporting him to ANI. LuciferMorgan18:39, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
I just reported him to WP:ANI. Raul654 has also reverted the anon's edit. Clearly a vandal who knows Misplaced Pages is the anon - usually vandals don't taunt with the 3RR rule, so that person has an account. Maybe someone can do checkuser or something. LuciferMorgan18:47, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
You never know, maybe he genuinely thinks the article looks better that way, and just has a slightly anti-social way of expressing himself. Ah well. As for Quatermass II — all right, all right! I'll do it, if it'll stop you nagging! ;-) Angmering14:10, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Depends if it's a FT for just the BBC serials or for the whole thing, including the film versions, the 1979 serial, Memoirs, etc. You could *possiby* get away with having a "BBC Quatermass Serials" topic covering the original trilogy with the three serial articles, the Kneale and Cartier articles and the character page, but I don't know if some might feel that was being too selective. Certainly I doubt the lead actor pages could ever be GAs, there's simply not enough information available, although I do mean to get around to at least citing them some day. Angmering
Pleasence also turns up in the eye-bleedingly bad 1956 film version. Cushing was quite upset not to get the Smith role in that off the back of his success with it on television, but frankly I think he was better off out of it. Angmering14:45, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
I've just taken a quick look at it — it seems well-sourced and comprehensive, but I get the feeling you might get some FAC commentators saying it's too short to be an FA. Mind you, as there often seem to be running battles over exactly how short is too short, you can never predict what way that'll go really. A. E. J. Collins is an FA, after all, and that's tiny. Angmering15:09, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Genesis (band)
They might not be your cup of tea, but they have an FAR that is near closing, and I would appreciate if you could review. Thanks, Ceoil22:24, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
A taskforce dealing with LGBT publications has been proposed. If you are interested in getting involved, consider signing up at the projects' page.
Our core topics list is looking good. It's still a bit slim on LGBT history articles, non-American LGBT media, and important LGBT biographies. Do you have suggestions?
David Shankbone has done an amazing job taking photographs of LGBT celebrities. Thanks David! People interested in collaborating with him and setting up a photography taskforce should contact him or drop a note at the project's talkpage.
The LGBT Portal still needs a bit of love and attention :-). Again, any good quality (free) photos you come across on LGBT articles can be added to the gallery here. Volunteers to help out with the Portal are extremely welcome- make yourselves known on the Portal's talkpage. Updates to the current news items are helpful.
Deputy coordinator elections
WikiProject LGBT studies is looking for new Deputy Coordinators to help out with various essential tasks in organising the project. To nominate yourself or contribute to the discussion, please go to: Misplaced Pages:WikiProject LGBT studies/Coordinator/May 2007. The deadline for nominations is May 5 and the elections will last a week after that.
The elections will be pretty simple- everyone just endorses their favourite candidate(s). The three with the most votes at the end of the week are the new deputy coordinators, who will assist Dev920 in keeping the project running.
To stop receiving this newsletter, or to receive it in a different format, just ask Dev920. If you have any news or any announcements to be broadcast, do let her know.
Sure, you can nominate whatever you like. I don't know if Tate's page is really long enough for a GA, although then again I suppose that award is partially for shorter articles anyway. Angmering06:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Given your comments on my talk page the other day about Peter Cushing and Donald Pleasence, I get the impression you're a bit of a horror fan. If that is the case, could you take a look at the newly-expanded André Morell and let me know if I've missed any particularly important details about his Hammer Horror work? Cheers. Angmering06:35, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the FA Medal. :-) Very kind of you. I'm not sure about Rudolph Cartier — I'm quite pleased with it, but there's a great big 10 year gap from the mid 30s to the mid 40s where I can't find any evidence of what he was up to that I think stops it being quite the top quality. Especially as he was a Germanic person living in Britain during World War II, which is pretty interesting background. Angmering
Fair use rationale for Image:Blood in our Wells.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Blood in our Wells.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog) 15:22, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Read the text you just copied and pasted to me, especially the last sentence: To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Misplaced Pages:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. You must add a detailed fair-use rationale for each use of each image. (ESkog) 16:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Our policy is that there must be a unique fair-use rationale which explains why THAT image, in THAT instance, is needed for critical commentary in THAT article. If you cannot provide that rationale, then the image will be deleted, as it should be. (ESkog) 16:18, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Disciple
"Disciple" is only mentioned by the interviewer when bringing up the topic of religion (using "Disciple", "New Faith", and "God Sends Death" as examples) and asking how Slayer's view of religion has changed over the years. Kerry King replies with a passage that I quoted most of in the "Lyrical themes" section. WesleyDodds19:15, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
PS - notice that my response here originally started out as a block notice. However, this recent comment of yours, I'm trying to put our past differences aside and thus I am asking you nicely instead of threatening or blocking. Raul65415:31, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
My deepest apologies...
...for not leaving you a message on your talk page. How careless of me to assume you were trolling ShadowHalo's talk page considering you were all up in my business. You should change your name to Brillo considering abrasive is how you rub people. Just looking over your talk page, it's clear to see you have a poor attitude and are disrespectful on a regular basis... good to know it's not just me.
Now, regarding your comments. I have a grasp on how to review GAs and I do, in fact, give very thorough reviews that result in higher quality articles. When I have issues in a review, they get worked out. Whether I take the time to discuss it with the main editor(s) of the article or I go ask someone for some advice, the issues get resolved... and without bickering. Disagreements are bound to happen along with misunderstandings and such. What situations like those don't need is interference from others who need not be involved in the first place. Tend to your work and let others tend to theirs. --LaraLove/Contribs13:51, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
If you give in depth reviews then how come you ask people to add inline cites to the lead section of an article? Lead sections don't need inline cites actually, since they are a summary of the body. The very same info that is in the lead is cited in the body of the article. Every time someone asks for citations in the lead when they aren't needed I will 110% tell them so. As concerns interference, I don't need lecturing from you when I'm in full grasp of the situation on Misplaced Pages and with Wikipedians. When I am not, I will ask for advice from someone I know on Misplaced Pages.
As concerns having a poor attitude, if you actually viewed all of the situation you're entitled to say so, but otherwise you aren't. Why? Because everyone who I have given a poor attitude I have given one to back.
I was merely advising ShadowHalo on his talk page and had nothing against you, but then you had to have a poor attitude against me didn't you? This is what is so sad about Misplaced Pages - you're lecturing me about a poor attitude while having a poor attitude yourself. Please look at yourself first before lecturing others, thanks.

License tagging for Image:Arcade Fire - Neon Bible.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Arcade Fire - Neon Bible.jpg. Misplaced Pages gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Misplaced Pages, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. 20:07, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Sorry; I've been so swamped with catchup tasks that I forgot about that request. I'll try to get around to it ASAP. — Deckiller21:30, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
The first paragraph still mentions Jihad is on Christ Illusion twice and Christ Illusion is linked twice in two sentences.M3tal H3ad14:10, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
I've had a crack at trying to turn Bernard Quatermass into something half-decent. I've never really tried writing an article on a fictional character before — do you think it's all right? Angmering23:21, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
There are bits and bobs of that sort of thing around; I shall see if I can gather some together and make a cohesive section out of them tomorrow. It tends to come out whenever he was ripping into Brian Donlevy for not being anything he felt the character should have been. Angmering23:38, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
I have created a "Themes" section, with some brief thoughts from Kneale (frustratingly, most of the time in interviews he doesn't actually speak about the specifics of the character himself much) and some academic and critical analysis of the Professor. Angmering19:04, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
I'll see how the Cartier PR ends up before deciding whether to go for FA with that or not. After that I'll probably put the character article up for PR and see what feedback it gets, and then possibly put it up as an FAC. User:Joe King has joined in on the Quatermass effort now too, so between us we seem to be building the topic up quite well. Angmering19:20, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
I have indeed. We shall see what happens. I might put the character page up for PR soon too, although I don't know whether it's considered bad form for one user to have an FAC and a PR up at the same time. Angmering14:07, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
"Prize" makes it all sound a bit like an exercise in self-glorification, really! :-) Which I suppose it is, in a way... Angmering14:15, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I suppose that's true. I admit I sometimes feel a bit guilty that I don't contribute to any Misplaced Pages topics that are bit more substantive that television and related topics, but the fact is I don't know anything much about other things, so I just contribute to the areas where I can and leave the serious stuff to everyone else! Angmering14:34, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
I don't find it that odd. I think it makes sense that the articles about more popular / recognised subjects would get more replies at FAC. That's just in the nature of things, really. Angmering12:10, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Slayer stuff
I don't have any magazines that discuss Slayer past 2005, but I have found a Guitar World column by Kerry King that ran through a few years. In the columns I've found he predominantly discusses "Raining Blood", the Still Reigning DVD, and disciple "Disciple" . Let me know what you want and I'll give you whatever info is useful. WesleyDodds10:04, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Off the top of my head the stuff about "Raining Blood" and "Disciple" mainly concerns the song compositions (since Kerry King's demonstrating how to play the riffs). It's different with Still Reigning; King states it's an idea they've had for years, and he describes the first night they did the fake blood. He notes once the lights came on and the whole band was covered with blood the whole crowd went quiet and seemed a little unsettled, which King attributes to Araya looking like a psychotic killer covered in all that blood. WesleyDodds23:59, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Congrats on the FA. I don't know when i'll nominate it, but it will be soon. I want to give some other Slayer related articles a run through. M3tal H3ad07:37, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I noticed you are a frequent contributor to WP:GA/R. There are a few discussion threads that are floundering and need additional comments from other editors. I would like to act on these soon, as they have been up for discussion for several weeks, but so few people have commented that I can't even archive as "no consensus" since we have a near null-set of comments. If you have the time, could you take a peek at the following articles and make any comments at WP:GA/R as you see fit? The articles needing additional comment are: Jeremy Clarkson, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Anaximander, and Syncaris pacifica. Thanks in advance for your help with this! --Jayron32|talk|contribs18:34, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Go ahead and delist that train article. It has 5 votes, which to me indicates a clear consensus, especially for an article with as many problems has it has, and the talk has been dead a week. The 6-vote threshold is what I use for discussions that appear active and snowballing; if a discussion is dead, and has at-least 4-5 votes, I usually archive it and act on the consensus. As a further note, it would appear that we have a CLEAR precedence for speedy delisting ALL of the underreferened train articles; if there is any question about speedy delisting these, direct the people who object to GA/R Archives 17, 18, and 19 where we have a CLEAR list of problems that many of these share. I would skip the GA/R nomination for all of these in the future, leave comments on the talk page directing them to the archives, and just delist them on your own without discussion.--Jayron32|talk|contribs19:17, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
This article does not meet GA criteria. The lead is weak and not in accordance with WP:LEAD. (UK) should follow United Kingdom. Random wikification of stand-alone years, month/year combos not wikified, decades are not wikified along with other words that should be. Townships are randomly wikified when they all should be. Date formats are inconsistent. "... currently (October 2006)...", what is that? The last paragraph is missing a period (full stop). There is a misplaced comma in the same paragraph in a date. There are not enough references. The second reference is not properly formatted. References are listed under Notes heading. There are only 2 inline citations which leaves the article appearing to be riddled with OR. I suggest taking this to GA/R. I predict it will be delisted.
Regards, LaraLove/C04:58, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Not a problem. Too many articles are passing GA without proper reviews. The more we find and delist, the better. --LaraLove/C03:55, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
If I have some extra time tomorrow (I'm off work Wed and Thu), I'll delist that whole list in one big swoop. As far as our previous misunderstanding, I assume you are referring to my GA review of Gwen Stephani's Wind It Up article... It's already been forgotten, but I do appreciate the apology. For the future, may I recommend to you what I recommend to everyone, always assume good faith. Most of the time people have the best of intentions, you know? Regards, LaraLove/C17:56, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Uh, would you lke to moderate your tone of voice, please? Thankyou so much for "assuming good faith". Very big of you. An apology for your mistake would have been nice. No, I didn't know we were in violation (we've had two peer reviews and neither has picked that up). Replacement of the offending references is underway. Learning all the time! Cardinal Wurzel18:45, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I really resent that. They are not bad faith nominations, and we've dealt with the suggestions both times. Suggestions from the last review were:
Images still need fair use rationale. - Done
Too many album covers cluttering up the page. - Is that just opinion or are we actually contravening a guideline? I don't really agree.
No images of the band? - Nothing suitable in Commons, and nobody has yet come forward with a non-free image. Using recognisable logo instead at the moment.
Fix statements like "Global sales were impressive." It really doesn't help just to source the comment, you need to show how they sales were impressive and not just tell us that they were. See Misplaced Pages:Avoid peacock terms. Done.
Instead of one of the many album images, a picture of one of the shirts mentioned in "The Music for Nations era" would be nice. - Done
Please replace all curly quotes (’) with straight quotes ('). The curlies feck up in my browser. - Not done, because I don't understand and can't see the difference between the two.
Tidy up your citations. Use Template:Cite web - Done, but not by me. Will add dates retrieved. easy enough as all retrieved on the same day!
You should really try to get an audio clip of one of their songs. You really can't understand what Cradle of Filth is without hearing them. I remember someone telling me to listen to "Haunted Shores" and then latter learning that all of that gibberish screaming was actual lyrics and just barely believing it. - Not exactly done, but we now have an external link to a site with sound samples (although I suspect you'll now tell me it's a site we shouldn't be linking to).
That's what's been going on in the time since SeizureDog did his last review, and that's why I re-nominated today. If you think there's more to do then give me some more suggestions. You could even help! Cardinal Wurzel19:20, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Okay, that's all fair enough. But you can see my point: Seizure Dog told us we were close to GA and that there were just a few minor adjustments to make, which we've made (I remember taking out "global sales were impressive" because we didn't have the figures to back it up. What other "peacock terms" are we guilty of? I don't see it). You're now saying that we're nowhere near GA and the page needs major work. Which of you is right? Looking at your record with featured articles and whatnot it looks like you're a trustworthy advisor, but it's completely out of order to accuse me of bad faith. You sound pissed off, as if you've told us this a million times. You haven't. Nobody has. Give us a list of things to work on like Seizure Dog did, and we'll work on it. Haunted and I are trying to make a good page - you're acting like we're dicking around to be deliberately irritating. Cardinal Wurzel19:49, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Sure - I'll withdraw the nomination, and if you want to give us a new list, that would be very helpful. No rush - looks like you're busy! I'm going to move this discussion to the talk page of the actual article, if that's ok with you? Cardinal Wurzel20:04, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
I've removed your AIV report for Frank-i-am220 (talk • contribs). Of his 9 contributions, only one is vandalism and that was almost a week ago, for which he wasn't given a final warning or any warning. I've added below the template which explains how we will issue a block for future reference. If you have any further problems don't hesitate to give me a shout. All the best
Thank you for making a report about Frank-i-am220 (talk·contribs·block log) on Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Misplaced Pages and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you. 10:41, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
AIV report of DUMKOOLMAN61290
I have removed your report of DUMKOOLMAN61290 (talk·contribs) because they have not received a recent warning and do not qualify as a vandal-only account. I will re-warn them however, and if they continue they will be blocked. —dgiesc21:50, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
