Just a quick heads-up

It's good that you added the sources for that information about Ayreon's next album, but there's no need to seem quite so confrontational about it in the edit summary. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 11:11, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, sorry, I kind of realised that after I saved it. It was just that the deletion proposition seemed a bit strange to me. Offski 11:34, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, technically everything needs to be sourced somehow. There's usually a bit of slack, though, in that nobody's likely to shout if you write something like "George W Bush is the President of the USA". With a lot of articles on as-yet-unreleased albums, I find that "X has been announced" is frequently more wishful thinking than anything much else. When it all comes down to it, it's not so much that so-and-so is going to be producing the album so much as he's said he'd like to work with the singer, or whatever it might be. That's why I prod'ed it, but in the event we're all happy. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 12:05, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ayreon Piracy

Hah, sorry 'bout that reference. I noticed the 'fact' tag after the bit about the leak. And, being the lazy arse I am, I just went to the first piracy site that came to my head and cited the page with the album. Kerrow 20:34, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, I just don't think that the album having leaked is a particularly encyclopedic piece of information. Maybe on the album page, but certainly not on the artist page (although I would have to object to having it on the album page as well).Offski 21:48, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

Just thought I'd drop a line and introduce myself. I've seen your name around on several of the pages I frequent, and you do good work. Anyway, my name is Andy; feel free to drop me a line whenever if you want to collaborate on something (or just talk music!). --Managerpants (talk) 15:26, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
