Designated "poor auld soul"/Youtube posting place

This is going to end in lists of guitar solos and tears, but bass lines on my talk pls. Ceoil 21:41, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Did you know Brian eno wrote Third Uncle? Was always my favourite Bauhaus song. Built to spill covered it aswell. Ceoil 18:59, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm very impressed by this. Good auld cuteeex3, I always knew he had it in him. The tone is perfect. Ceoil 21:40, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

UP

I put Disintegration up for GAC. Blah. NSR77 _C 19:20, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

I agree entirely. For a second there I thought you were going to say "Where's the fucking hookers?" Haahaha oh well. But yeah, I don't understand that song (or band, for that matter). They're the epitome of bland. And those faux violins really have got to go. NSR77 _C 22:33, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Find the bit about "Milk It" and In Utero. NSR77 _C 01:18, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

I can try. I know you don't want there to be another month without an FA, but there is no guarantee that the article would be promoted before August is up, anyway. NSR77 _C 05:38, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm.....all that really needs to be done is the tour section. In retrospect, that should only take me a couple hours (if that) to write. You would need to be able to copyedit everything and then we can ship it off to FAC. Did you think anything else needed to be added? NSR77 _C 05:41, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Disintegration is, FINALLY, all done. Take a look, copyedit, drop a note on my talk page when you're done and I'll nom that bad-boy. NSR77 _C 03:15, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Did you want to handle that last comment from Tony? I'm petty busy at the moment and can't really spend much time on the internet. NSR77 _C 22:42, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Honestly it needs to be done soon. There are two things left. I can only check in periodically right now; it'll take you ten minutes. NSR77 _C 02:46, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Of course it passes two days after the end of August. Figures. If you need any help on some of the Nirvana articles just drop me a line. NSR77 _C 02:12, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

If there was ever a flaw in the "WesleyDodds game" it would be chart positions. :) NSR77 _C 02:19, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Swimming them so well

No problem regards The Smiths chart positions. Regarding Bunnymen articles, I think I just got a bit "bunneymen-ed out" having done a few in a shortish space of time. I'm just doing a bit of new-page patrolling and wikignoming until I get my mojo back - hopefully shouldn't be too long. Cheers --JD554 (talk) 11:07, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I've been having a look at the Chart position section for Nevermind. I can't confirm all the chart positions that are on the page there (and in fact some appear to be wrong). The trouble I'm having is finding out what year the release peaked as the album was released late in 1991 but the claim is that some of the peak positions are in 1992. I'm sure that's correct, it's just the sources from Nirvana discography don't confirm it, they simply give the year of release. Any ideas? --JD554 (talk) 06:53, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm on holiday for a couple of weeks after today, but I'll give a hand mid-Septemberish if it still needs it. Cheers --JD554 (talk) 10:30, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Janet Jackson

I've made a few changes: shifted audio samples around and condensed the prose in the Musical Style section. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 21:12, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I like the way its taken shape. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 09:50, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

originally I just wanted as many sources as possible for conformation, but I don't really need it now, so its removed. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 10:09, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Can we nominate yet? *acts like a two year old* The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 03:18, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

I'll do a quick run through of sources. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 03:40, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Do you think its good enough to close the peer review? The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 06:10, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Janet Jackson. YAY! The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 09:20, 15 August 2008 (UTC) No problem and thanks. It would be nice to work on Barbara Gordon next, since its more of a mutual interest. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 09:42, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

I've been fighting recentism on Britney Spears since I decided to take on the article. Everyone wants to add every up to the minute detail of her new album which won't be released until December. JJ shouldn't be a problem. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 10:29, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Janet is featured! YAY! :) The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 05:27, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. And I understand about the infobox/genres issue. It just with artists like Gwen Stefani and Britney Spears, people want to list every single genre, subgenre and music style variation that the artist has been associated with which is really ridiculous. Hence why I try to enforce only using the parent genre, to keep overzealous editors in check. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 13:43, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Por que

Por que você fez isso, why can you only have on genre on the infoboxs on Waking Up the Neighbours. Tudo o que me leva a dizer-me um passo mais perto da borda (um passo mais próximo, canção)

Hi Axl!

I recently bought the Everett True Nirvana biography. In between the self-glorification and Rolling Stone-bashing, there are reprints of Melody Maker reviews of Nirvana releases. I'll get down to adding them sometime. Also toying with the idea of reworking Bleach... indopug (talk) 16:14, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

There's one for "Teen Spirit" too, do you want me to add it? indopug (talk) 09:29, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Disintegration

I passed the article as GA. It looks good as far as I can tell, just minor tweeking and a good PR like we did with JJ. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 06:37, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Dookie

Please find a source that Dookie is alt rock and not pop punk. Regards. Nouse4aname (talk) 10:42, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Again, please stop ignoring my requests. If you want to include alt rock as a genre, then find a source. Pop punk is now a sourced genre, do not remove it. Regards. Nouse4aname (talk) 08:02, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Furthermore, please note that Dookie is extensively mentioned in the pop punk article, but not at all in the alternative rock article. Your continued reversal of this genre without any discussion is rude and counter productive. Please engage in discussion before continuing to revert this. Nouse4aname (talk) 08:07, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Pop punk is not a sub genre, but a mixture of punk rock and pop. It is a huge, broad term that refers to numerous artists, and is entirely broad enough. Plenty of album articles use pop punk as a genre, are you going to remove all of those to "keep it broad"? As a compromise I have added pop punk in addition to alt rock and punk rock. There is no reason to remove this. Cheers Nouse4aname (talk) 09:48, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Is that just your opinion or can you provide sources for that, as it is in clear opposition to what the sourced material at the punk rock and pop punk articles state. Nouse4aname (talk) 09:51, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I think we're going to just have to agree to disagree on whether it is a sub genre or fusion then! Can we at least agree to leave the three genres on Dookie as they are? Nouse4aname (talk) 10:04, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Nonsense. If you ask 100 people what genre they consider Dookie to be, I guarantee at least 90% will say pop punk. There is nothing wrong with having three genres in the infobox, it doesn't confuse anyone. Unless you plan on removing pop punk from all infoboxes, "for the sake of simplicity" then I suggest that it stays. Nouse4aname (talk) 10:10, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Well I disagree. I don't think it does "suffice". Dookie is widely regarded as a pop punk record, what is wrong with being specific? You say punk rock, people think Sex Pistols, the Clash etc, you say pop punk, people think Blink 182, the Offspring, Green Day. What is more appropriate? Nouse4aname (talk) 10:17, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

If punk rock will suffice in place of pop punk, why is there a List of pop punk bands? How come all these albums have pop punk listed in the infoboxes? Riot!, Enema of the State, Dude Ranch (album), Americana (album), New Found Glory (album), Last Stop Suburbia - this is just a few, there are hundreds more that use pop punk, in addition to other genres in the infobox. Why are you so against including pop punk as a genre? Nouse4aname (talk) 10:27, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

In Rainbows reverts

Why? At your earliest convenience, please post on Talk:In Rainbows#Revert?. I spent awhile adding the sections and formatting recommended by WP:ALBUM and WP:DASH and I really don't understand why you keep on reverting them and why you refuse to explain yourself there. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:22, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Library

I noticed your offer as concerns the library at the WP:ALM page, and thought I should get in touch. I'm slowly working on the Maiden album Somewhere in Time (currently writing about its artwork), with a view to working on other Maiden articles. If you come across any general books that have review snippets (for any albums or specific songs) or anything of interest I'd be very appreciative if you could get in touch. Thanks very much for your time. LuciferMorgan (talk) 22:12, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I have two Maiden bios myself. If you could keep a lookout in those mags that'd be great - there could possibly be a retrospective piece that has brief reviews for each album. Thanks very much. LuciferMorgan (talk) 23:47, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Link of the now

This is pretty good. Ceoil 23:42, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Thriller info

Nice article here, I've already used bits in the article. Could you read the piece, and give me feedback on what is worth adding to the article. I'm not gonna play guessing games about it, tell me what you would like included and I will happily insert. Cheers. — Realist 02:27, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I don't mean to pressure you, my internet connection went down yesterday anyway, it's just that Thriller is coming to the final quarter of the FAC list, we are running out of time before the review is closed. I can add whatever you like, I just need to know what it is. If your too busy over the next few days, we can always add the info afterward, even if it passes. — Realist 17:40, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: Copyediting request.

I'll go over disintegration today. I may not be very good, but I'll try.  Mm40 (talk | contribs)  11:37, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

The Dark Knight

I saw the film for the first time on my birthday on August 23. Heath Ledger is a god. I miss him! The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 19:56, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

A Cure for Tony

I'll do what I can, but you already know I am limited in this area. You should approach Outriggr -or whatever he is called these days- as ye already know each other, and he is near the best damn copyeditor the project has. Ceoil 19:32, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Often read about XTC, but never listened to them before. Grand. I'm listening to a lot of PIL these days; (This Is Not A) Love Song is camp fun, and Memories is just plain evil. Nice: I like evil......Ceoil 21:56, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for reminding me why think you are a good guy, but I'll see you and raise you five: Nice apples, no? Ceoil 22:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Mug shots

I started a thread here: Misplaced Pages:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Mug_shots. Would you mind giving input? Thankyou. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 03:52, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Gwen Stefani

Since you were involved in the genres, you may want to comment at Talk:Gwen Stefani, so there hopefully won't be future edit wars. Thanks, Spellcast (talk) 08:25, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
