Edit summaries

Hi: I am glad to see that you are editing with such enthusiasm. Please would you use the edit summary box to explain each of your changes as you make them. I have reversed the unexplained deletions that you made at Love You because I did not understand them. —Theo (Talk) 14:26, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

The Concert For Bangla Desh

Nice job on that page... however, I was confused by your spelling as the country it was about is spelled Bangladesh as one, even though Bangla is the Bengali language... in any case, I looked and found The Concert For Bangladesh already made... now yours has the CD album box... but, I just was wondering if you knew and wanted to merge or whatnot. gren グレン 16:09, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Okay, well I wasn't sure how they intended it, I only know how the country is spelled in English and that there are two pages. so, they need to be made so they aren't redundant. I'm going to do a little fixing of that now. gren グレン 16:29, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Albums by the ex-Beatles

I'd just like to let you know that you've done a fantastic job on improving the over quality of the solo albums by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do with the other two Beatles. --DaveGorman 19:37, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Nice work on the Ringo albums. What are you going to be fixing next? --DaveGorman 07:48, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Most of the Beatles' compilation albums only contain a few lines of text at the most and could do with being improved. --DaveGorman 19:43, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi BGC - I've never really been much of a fan of The Rolling Stones but I can appreciate the difference you've made to the overall quality of the articles relating to them: It's just a shame that their discography page is in such a mess. --DaveGorman 18:26, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Barnstar

I hereby award you this Working Man's Barnstar for your contributions to music related articles.

All things Beatley

Alright mate? Just wanted to say nice work for the George Harrison solo albums, a job I could never bring myself to do.

In particular, I like the concert for george page where you've put where the original song can be found. Nice touch, keep it up.--Crestville 11:29, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Reviews in albumbox

I started a discussion about appropriate sources of album reviews. You are probably interested. -Hapsiainen 18:55, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

RfC on Monicasdude

I saw your comment on JDG's user talk page. I believe that your contribution to the RfC at Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Monicasdude would be extremely valuable, either as a co-endorser of the RfC description and/or as an additional outside comment.

I would suggest that if you add a comment you try to maintain a factual and non-confrontational tone in your descriptions. Although I concur Monicasdude's behavior as been dreadful (I created the RfC; with some encouragement and now co-endorsers), the process is best served by rising above the low standard Monicasdude has set.

If you are concerned about revealing your current username, you could either post anonymously (with a description of your previous username), or simply post under the prior username (but mention that you use a non-specified new username). Of course, Monicasdude may well read JDG's user talk page, just as I did; there's nothing private on WP. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 03:20, 2005 August 31 (UTC)

Monicasdude back at it on Dylan page

Another admin unprotected the Bob Dylan main page. So Monicasdude immediately started his shennanigans with trying to revert to his favorite version (in this case, eliminating any reference to Dylan's Christian trilogy, which proximally started the whole RfC). Would you mind keeping an eye on that page as well, since I don't want to 3RR myself should more corrections be needed. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 20:31, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Chicago chart positions

Good work to add these to Chicago, but I suggest the singles be done the same way as the albums: list US position, then list UK position if and only if it charted. As it stands now, it's hard to absorb the singles information with all the empty UK positions shown first. Wasted Time R 21:05, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Beatles Broke Up In 69

For some reason I cannot see how to edit the main article for the 1 album. I notice an inaccuracy in that it says that The Beatles had not played together since 1970 however that is a common misconception. The Let It Be album was released in 1970 however it was recorded before Abby Road. Abby Road was a request from Paul to do one last album "the way we used to". John had left the group shortly after in 69 although he did not admit it untill later. The official breakup did come in 1970 when McCartney announced that he had left the group and never wanted to play with the others again. Curiously, he sued the other three later that year for dissoloution of the group.

So, anyone will change the appropriate line, that would be more accurate.

Image tags

Please read Special:Upload. You must provide source and license information for every image you upload. For album covers, use {{album cover}}. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for other tags. dbenbenn | talk 01:18, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

That is, "{{album cover}}" with the {{ and }}. And you need to go back and fix all the images you've uploaded. dbenbenn | talk 05:08, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Dylan chronology

Hey, I noticed you undid a few changes I made in the Dylan chronology (I was actually planning on a few more).

It stuck to a 'release date' chronology before, and that's what you reverted it back to, but a chronology based on recording date makes a lot more sense to people less familiar to Dylan. I know two non-Dylan fans who offered to proofread my stuff, but afterwards, they basically gave me the impression that they were using the given album chronology to follow his career. (In other words, they'd read an entry, and then click on the 'next album' to see what Dylan did next.) Unfortunately, it skipped over stuff like the 1966 tour and the Basement Tapes until much later, and it caused some confusion for them, especially when they got past "Before the Flood" and found themselves back to 1975 again.

Seriously, I think a recording date chronology would be best, especially with people jumping on this site looking to see what happened to Dylan 'after' the No Direction documentary.

Beatles breaking up in 69 or 70

Also, is that your comment/question about the Beatles break-up on this talk page? The Beatles actually reconvened to re-record "I Me Mine" in early 1970. At this point, I think they were PLANNING to split (or possibly just go on hiatus, not actually end the band), but they were still officially a band. John wasn't at the "I Me Mine" session though, but it was still a Beatles session - it was intended for a Beatles album, for one thing - and Lewisohn and others refer to it as a Beatles session as well. In that case, you could say they last played 'together' in 1970.

REM revert war

I don't know what this template revert war is about, but I'm seeing it happening on a number of articles. Please resolve this problem through discussion (or provide a link to an ongoing discussion) or I'm going to start locking all of these articles. I have left the same message for Hapsiainen. Gamaliel 20:54, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Fair use

Whatever the decision on the template, the fact remains that it uses "fair-use" images in a way not covered by fair use. This is particularly serious for Misplaced Pages. Rather than simply adding the images, you might want to join in the discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Albums#Album infobox 2. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 21:01, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Take your own advice and STOP reverting it. You're only adding to the problem. BGC 21:26, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

RE: Dylan chronology

All right, but I still think it's a bad idea, and there's really no set rule that says chronology is for release dates only.

Keith Richards Discography

Overall I appreciate your work on the 3 Keith Richards records, and the new category. They are improvements over my original style, but I would offer only a couple of suggestions and let you think about it- since as I said, I like the copy and you seem to have a solid background in the topic, sort of speak.

MAIN OFFENDER- where did you hear/read that 'Love is Strong' is a Jagger inspired tune off MO. I think Richards was in pre-preduction in Ireland with Ronnie and wrote a song called 'Love is Strange' (I have a bootleg of it with him singing the lyrics) and I don't think Jagger had much to do with the song but change the lyrics. P.S. I remember an interview in print where Jagger dissed MO, except for '999' and 'Eileen'.

Live at..Hollywood: The colour on my computer of the border is really ugle green, it could improve the overall appearence if you changed it. --Mikerussell 01:44, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

album infobox

There does not seem to be a consensus for your version of the infobox. There is no point in starting edit wars over this issue as you have been and will be quickly reverted by other editors. This is a futile effort which serves no purpose. If you wish your version of the infobox to become the standard you should attempt to build consensus on the appropriate talk pages.

Your vandalism reported

Your vandalism of Bob Dylan: Live 1966 has been reported. Monicasdude 20:26, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Coming from an anonymous user, I'm really scared. BGC 20:24, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
