Taking Back Sunday

The removal of valid sourced statements is not allowed. Also myspace is not considered a good source.Hoponpop69 19:32, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

• Here are the rules straight from Wikipedia:Verifiability : Self-published sources should never be used as third-party sources about living persons, even if the author is a well-known professional researcher or writer.

Myspace is a self published source, since it is run by the band itself. You say "MySpace is the best source there is because the band members made and edit their MySpace page" but that's the exact kind of thing wikipedia is against. This cite relies on reliable third party sources, in this case the Rolling Stone article I posted fits this criteria. Please do not remove this source again.Hoponpop69 06:17, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Don't remove citation requests!

If you see the words ^[citation needed] next to something, do not remove it unless you are adding a citation!Hoponpop69 03:14, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

"You don't need a citation for every little fact about a band, especially not for a genre. Look at any other band article. There are rarely citations on genres. So do not put the citation request up again because it is not needed."

This is not true, see Wikipedia:Citing sources. It states that attribution is required for direct quotes and for material that is challenged. There is nothing about not needing it for a genre, and further more there are plenty of articles where genres are sourced, Ramones, Papa Roach, Blink-182, to name a few.

As your claim that emo is not a genre because it is a style of music (aren't these the same thing?), is clearly a fringe theory.

If you remove the citation or citiation request again I will report you. THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING. Hoponpop69 04:54, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Citations

I already stated on this page why having citations were important, but you just deleted it. Read through what I added back above.Hoponpop69 23:19, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Too make sure the information is factual perhaps? By your logic if every single fact on wikipedia is uncited, then no facts need to be cited. This is not the case. Please look at the link I provided you at the top of this section.Hoponpop69 23:28, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

If you still don't understand you should ask about it here[1], the people there can better explain it to you.Hoponpop69 23:35, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

That unofficial Yellowcard link can't stay

Yes, there is a rule that says so; read the rules on external links. --Orange Mike 02:03, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

From WP:EL:"Links normally to be avoided:

1. Links to blogs and personal web pages, except those written by a recognized authority." --Orange Mike 12:34, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Yellowcard

Stop reverting changes that were made to the Yellowcard page and adding the French UNOFFICIAL fan page. We've discussed these topics already. If your repeated reverts and editing vandalism continues, I will ask an admin to step in and stop you from editing. Imasleepviking ( talk ) 20:18, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

What about this edit? Lying isn't nice. Imasleepviking ( talk ) 01:34, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I am not a Yellowcard fan, but this article is poorly written, with unnecessary amounts of verbiage and facts that cannot be referenced. You are aware of Wikipedia's quality guidlines, correct? I tried to clean it up a bit, but it the older, sloppy, less neutral writing style keeps coming back JDM2004 (talk) 21:49, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

reply

Thanks for the message but I'll be fine. I had an account but it got blocked for a month so I just signed out. The main thing that bugs me is their attitude towards everything. They've got this elitist view that just annoys me and if they block me again there's always proxies. Those images have been there for years now, and just because they feel it is a violation of fair use images or whatever doesn't give them the right to just remove them. If you try to have any logical talk with them at all they just hit you with a million things like WP:Policy WP:Bullshit WP:Howtobeanelitistprick. Edit wars may be pointless, but there's not much else that can be done —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.222.253.116 (talk) 06:15, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Images

If you look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Images it says that "Specifying the size of a thumb image is not recommended: without specifying a size the width will be what readers have specified in their user preferences, with a default of 180px (which applies for most readers)." because "...some users need to configure their systems to display large text. Forced large thumbnails can leave little width for text, making reading difficult." Also if someone is using a large monitor with 1600x1200 for the resolution they may have set their preferences to 300px and then the images will be too small for them. If you click on "my preferences" and then go to files you can set the size you want to see the images at but don't force others to your preference. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 15:08, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah, the flags. Have a look at Wikipedia:Don't overuse flags. It dosen't really add anything as the country name and link is already there. This time it happened to be a US flag but I tend to remove any when making other edits. By the way if you look at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style there are some people who weere discussing having the deafult thumbnail made larger. It also turns out that users may not know that they can change the thumbnail size. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 15:22, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Please do not remove requests for citations

Thank you.Hoponpop69 18:36, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Reporting you

I gave you that last warning because I thought this was the first time you'd done this, and no one had warned you about that. However after checking your history I noticed that I personally had given you multiple warnings earlier, which you had deleted from your talk page (and which I've restored). I am going to file a report on you later today. This is a heads up. Hoponpop69 19:14, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

This is an undeniable fact that you did do that. I suggest you just say that it won't happen again. — Moe ε 22:53, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Panic! At The Disco

An edit dispute is not vandalism, please do not confuse the two. Zazaban 23:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Please assume good faith and not threaten to get me blocked over an edit dispute. I've been in edit disputes before and have never gotten blocked over it. It's quite common on wikipedia. Zazaban 23:15, 7 October 2007 (UTC) Wikipedia:Assume good faith Zazaban 23:16, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Can't we just disscuss this civilly? I do not agree with your edits, as you don't agree with mine. The difference here is I am not acccusing you of vandalism. Just not liking an edit is not reason enough to cry vandalism. Zazaban 23:26, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Green Day Genre Section

Hi, do you have a specific reason for separating the genres on the Green Day article by commas? As pages for contemporary bands such as Rancid, The Offspring, Jimmy Eat World, Bloc Party have the genres stacked.Jacknife737 23:43, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, i was unaware of that policy.Jacknife737 04:00, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Again, that link is not policy, it is only a guidline. In addition, it does not state how to present genres for artists. A consensus has not been reached as yet (see the talk page). Only album infoboxes have a consensus as to how to present the genres. As such, either way is acceptable for arist infoboxes, and it is best to leave them as they originally were until/when/if a consensus is reached on how best to display them. Nouse4aname 07:55, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

No worries. It's a bit annoying (and confusing) why all infoboxes cannot be formatted the same way. Unfortunately it seems different people are involved in different areas, and so the same decisions are unlikely to be made, even if it would mean things look a lot tidier. I only brought it to your attention as its the sort of thing that can quickly spiral into an edit war...hopefully a decision will be made soon. You are right however, the sample info box does seem to indicate comma separation....happy editing. Nouse4aname 13:33, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced warn?

As per this: Gurch doesn't seem involved here; is the warning a mistake? Gscshoyru 13:21, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Not at all, it's well-known that all Wikipedia's problems are in fact my fault – Gurch 15:36, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Riot single

I do have a source. There is a channel called Galaxie and it plays "Riot" continuously on the "RockAlternative" part. And it has been very popular on radios, music channels, etc..., so "Riot" should stay --Crocodileman 22:02, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Genres

Hi, Tim. I noticed you edited Fall Out Boy, ignoring an edit page notice. I urge you to read the instructions for the template you are editing, Template:Infobox musical artist. "The genre or genres of music performed by the act. Aim for generality." Infoboxes are not for listing the various sub-genres of a band. That's what the article is for. Rock may be a broad term for FOB, but they are a rock band. As noted in the edit box, a notice for which you removed in your edit, pop-punk and emo are discussed in the body of the article.

Also, you wrote, "rock is way to broad of a genre for a band". Really? Not all bands fall under sub-genres. Those that do should discuss it in the body of the article, not the infobox. Lara❤Love 14:56, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

You're listing far too many genres. Alternative rock, Pop, Punk, Dance, etc, those are the types of genres that should be listed. Pop-punk, Rap-rock, etc, are subgenres and should be discussed in the body. Do what you will with your frequented articles, but I took FOB through GA, don't compromise that. Lara❤Love 15:11, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

yellowcard image

hi tim

i noticed you changed my inage change and lots of bands have two images on their wiki page, i think it looks alot better, it will advertise their logo more. The image i put on is their official paper walls promo shot, the one you put back was probably took by someone on a camera at a show, looking at the set its a two year old photo anyway, my updated one was much more suitable.

Escape the Fate

Tim, You must understand

I am Omar from Escape the fate. And I am no longer in the band. the ETF myspace hasnt been updated for the reason the guys have all been really busy. And also because I think the guys are trying to hide the truth from here fans. I can promise you that I am no longer in the band and I would like for you to quit telling me you are gonna ban me for editing the info.

"Hi. I see you have recently removed the {{stub}} tag from Amber Pacific. Is there a reason for doing this? I reverted your edit because I am pretty sure that the article is a stub.

OK, we all make grammar errors. Big deal. Grow up JazzlineB (talk) 00:41, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry, it seemed like I was being blamed a little bit, one summary said whoever wrote the article needed to improve grammar. I'm sorry if I overreacted. By the way, the person doing most of the editing is Knight Whitefire. JazzlineB (talk) 00:55, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Knight Whitefire

His grammar and spelling are horrible. If you look at his talk page, you'll find he can't even spell "grammar". JazzlineB (talk) 04:01, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm afraid that we may have offended Knight Whitefire or hurt his feelings, by saying he has bad grammar (I made a smart remark on his talk page), since he has not edited for a few days now. If he is offended, this is my fault. JazzlineB (talk) 23:35, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

He needs to be blocked. I simply talked to him about a small issue and now he's arguing with me. He's acting like he is eleven. He probably is. JazzlineB (talk) 02:22, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Requests for adminship/Footballfan190

I just wanted to drop a note to thank you for your constructive comment made in this RfA. You may or may not be aware of the recent discussion at the RfA talk page over civility and not biting newcomers in regards to these sort of RfAs and I found your response to be exemplary of how to approach it. I actually posted a talk message to the user basically saying the same thing before I even fully read what you wrote. Good stuff, happy editing to you. Keegan^talk 07:36, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

RfA Thanks

Dear Timmeh, Thank you for leaving comments in my RfA, which closed successfully with 34 support, 2 oppose, and 0 neutral. I promise I will wield the mop wisely, and do my best to improve Wikipedia.

RFA thanks card

Sorry, I somehow missed you when deciding who had contributed enough to my RFA to get a card...

Hello, Timmeh, thank you for participating in my request for adminship, which closed successfully with 47 supports, 3 opposes, and 0 neutrals. I am glad that the community thinks it can trust me with these tools; I will try and use my new mop and bucket (or vacuum cleaner!) carefully. I would like to personally thank you for your good contributions to the discussion, even if you did not "vote". Camaron1 | Chris (talk) 18:30, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for voting in my RfA, which which passed nem. con. with 45 support, 0 oppose, and 0 neutral. Thank you for your support and all the kind words that were expressed. I will try to live up to the trust placed in me by the community. I now have my homework to do and then pass the Marigolds.

Panic! at the Disco naming

I work in the music industry and the band HAS changed their name to "Panic At The Disco".. first letter in each word capitalized and NO exclamation point. As for sources.. check anywhere they are listened on fueledbyramen.com, myspace.com/fueledbyramen, look at their section on the press site: http://www.fueledbyramen.com/press. Please correct and thanks much! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Synbill (talk • contribs)

Sorry for reverting your edits, but you didn't provide a source at first. Please take a look at WP:CS for info on how to correctly cite sources for facts. I will remove the exclamation point, but "at" and "the" cannot be capitalized per WP:BAND#Capitalization. It doesn't matter what the official name is, these words cannot be capitalized on Wikipedia. Thanks. Timmeh^contribs 23:20, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Timmeh, I'm not too sure, but were you the one who copy the content on "Panic! at the Disco" and pasted it on "Panic at the Disco"? If so, next time, please move the page as opposed to manually doing so. (It looks that way.) Do you have any clue as to how the problem may be resolved? You see, when you move the page manually, you don't preserve the edit history of the page. Qwerty (talk) 05:55, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Pretty. Odd. spelling and grammar

Please don't make personal attacks toward another user. Your spelling and grammar was horrible. I also see that you are still not putting spaces after periods and commas, even in your last message. If you're in too much of a hurry to type correctly, you shouldn't be editing Wikipedia. It is an encyclopdia, and obviously spelling and grammar are two extremely important things. Timmeh! 00:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Rudget!

Dear Timmeh, my sincere thanks for your support in my second request for adminship, which ended with 113 supports, 11 opposes, and 4 neutral. I would especially like to thank my admin coach and nominator, Rlevse and Ryan Postlethwaite who in addition to Ioeth all inspired me to run for a second candidacy. I would also like to make a special mention to Phoenix-wiki, Dihyrdogen Monoxide and OhanaUnited who all offered to do co-nominations, but I unfortunately had to decline. I had all these funny ideas that it would fail again, and I was prepared for the worst, but at least it showed that the community really does have something other places don't. Who would have though Gmail would have been so effective? 32 emails in one week! (Even if it does classify some as junk :P) I'm glad that I've been appointed after a nail biting and some might call, decision changing RFA, but if you ever need anything, just get in touch. The very best of luck for 2008 and beyond, Rudget. 15:33, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

About the Third wave Emo

Yeah they are, and my source is wikipedia right here, and it states so in the "emo" article in the part about "third wave emo" bands. i mean, yeah maybe its not Emo, but its definitely in the "third wave emo" which has nothing to do with the original Emo anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HentaimanXT (talk • contribs) 16:38, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Thank you...

...for your support in my recently closed Request for Adminship. I am more than a bit stunned by the outcome, which appears to have finished at 146 supports, no opposes, and one abstention. I am particularly grateful to Keilana and Kingboyk for their recent encouragement, and most specifically to Pastordavid, for having seen fit to nominate me. I also want to make it very clear to everyone that I have no intentions of changing my name again, so the servers should be safe for a while.

In the event you ever believe that I would ever able to assist in the future, I would be honored if you were to contact me regarding the matter. I can't guarantee results, unfortunately, but I will do what I can. Thank you again.

By the way, I know the image isn't necessarily appropriate, but I am rather fond of it, and it at least reflects the degree of honor I feel at the result. And it's hard to go wrong with a Picture of the Year candidate.

Now, off to a few last tasks before starting work in earnest on the various templates I promised I'd work on.

This RfA thanks inspired by Kathryn McDinaha's, in turn inspired by several others after Phaedriels' original. Hoping we can all keep such inspiration of newcomers ongoing, I am, sincerely, John Carter (talk).

Copy & paste move

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently copied the contents of a page and pasted it into another with a different name. Specifically, you copied the contents of Panic! at the Disco and pasted it into Panic at the Disco. This is what we call a "cut and paste move," and it is very undesirable because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. The mechanism we use for renaming articles is to move it to a new name which both preserves the page's history and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves to request the move by another. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. Russ (talk) 13:37, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing my font color. If you read the Panic at the Disco talk page, you would see my reply to another concerned editor. I was unaware that the history would not be moved also, and I didn't really take that into consideration. However, I do know how to correctly move a page, and the template was unnecessary. I prefer templates not to be used to start conversations with me as they are not always specific to the issue. Timmeh! 21:09, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I have looked at that talk page, and didn't see any discussion about the page being moved. However, since there are so many redirects to the article now, I suppose it could be on a talk page attached to one of those redirects, and I didn't bother to check all of them. --Russ (talk) 14:24, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

It was there. Someone deleted it. It should've stayed, since the other editor didn't reply, or it should've at least been archived. Either way it was there a few days ago. Timmeh! 19:32, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Your signature and your talk page

Hi there, sorry to be a terrible bore, but your signature's a bit too long and should really be cut down to a more reasonable length, it's also a little difficult to read, especially for those users with eyesight problems, as is your talk page. I'm not overly concerned about having your userpage in this colour scheme, but it's going to cause some users a bit of difficulty. If you could possibly change your signature to something shorter (in terms of the overall length, not how it's dispayed) and perhaps choose a more user friendly colour scheme on your talk page, that would be much appreciated. Kind Regards. Nick (talk) 11:46, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about the colors and signature length. I made the font on the talk page a little brighter and shortened my signature. Thanks for the notice. Timmeh! 15:56, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Could you make your signature a bit smaller? It's excessively large: far larger than surrounding text. Maybe this would be okay?: Timmeh! · AndonicO ^Hail! 14:42, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Alright, I changed it. Thanks for the input. Hopefully my signature and talk page layout are satisfying everyone's needs now. Timmeh! 16:15, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Still large, but it's good. Thank you very much. The talk page is extremely annoying to read, but maybe that's just me... (Don't get me wrong, black's my favorite color). · AndonicO ^Hail! 23:00, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Copyright violation?

If it was linked to the band's site or record label's site (or even MTV) that would be one thing but it's on a site where anyone can upload anything regardless of copyright. It is most likely unlicensed and therefore a copyright violation. In matters like these it's preferable to err on the side of caution. Precious Roy (talk) 18:50, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Y	Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s): Autoblock of 72.9.29.170 lifted or expired. Request handled by: Woody (talk) 23:53, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I've changed my password and put a security key on my router so it shouldn't happen again. Timmeh! 00:08, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Thank you for voting in my RfA, which was unsuccessful with 19 support, 18 oppose, and 5 neutral. I have signed up for admin coaching and will retry later on in a couple more months.

I'm sorry you felt I am inexperienced to become an admin. I hope that by performing more edits on Wikipedia in the next few months that I could possibly change your mind by my next RfA, possibly around May 2008. - Jameson L. Tai ^talk ♦ contribs 04:53, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

As long as you continue to edit actively until May I will gladly support you, regardless of self-nom or not. The reason I didn't support was because you have only been editing actively for 3 or 4 months and I believe you need more experience. Better luck in May. Timmeh! 23:14, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks

I am not one for sending round pretty pictures, but after my recent RfA, which passed 68/1/7, I am now relaxed and this is to thank you for your support. I will take on board all the comments made and look forward to wielding the mop with alacrity. Or two lacrities. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 21:01, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

German Battleship Bismarck

Hi, re your recent edit: I reverted two changes ('battlecruiser' is correct, not battle cruiser: see the article battlecruiser if you like) and "onboard" is also correct, being an old nautical term. All the best, bigpad (talk) 09:55, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Whoops. Sorry about those edits. My spellchecker showed the ones with the space being correct. I hope it didn't cause too much inconvenience. Timmeh! 14:14, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Edit summary

I assume you are unaware of (AFI-PUNK (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)) otherwise you wouldn't said: "mind discussing genres before reverting good faith edits several times?"[4]. You could have seen the reasoning just a little bit further down the edit histoy if you'd looked. This is a serial vandal who was blocked in May 2007 and still continues to vandalise. I have been fighting this vandal for months and months and I now have rollback, which thankfully, makes this arduous task incredibly fast. I am extremely frustrated by them, but I find that copy and pasting the same edit summary, or using rollback, prevents me from showing that frustration. Their full history is on AFI-PUNK's user page.

I see that now. He shouldn't be editing at all. Did you try getting that whole ip address range blocked? It might stop his editing for a while. Timmeh! 18:22, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Escape The Fate edit

Ok Tim, First of all there were not any grammar errors in that edit. But there were spelling errors and I apologize for those. I do speak English Very Fluently and will continue to edit articles that I know about and that I find mistakes in (I always double check my resources/spelling/grammar before I do by the way).

P.S. Just so you Know I was born in Kingman, Arizona and Raised in Las Vegas, Nevada so I am clearly American with English as my native language so please do not tell me english is not my native language. I have had an excellent vocabulary and good spelling as well since 3rd grade. I was a bit tired the day I edited that article so I disregarded the spelling and I apologize to those who had a hard time comprehending what I wrote. . —Preceding unsigned comment added by DearxDiary (talk • contribs) 01:18, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't recall leaving you a message and your talk page has not been edited. In fact, the only edits you made were to my talk page. Could you specify what ip you were when I left this message about your grammar? Timmeh! 02:16, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Pretty. Odd.

I deleted a persons remark on Pretty. Odd.'s discussion page because it was not a comment but more of a cynical hate-shot at the band. I will continue to remove such nonsense until wikipedia stops such people airing such hateful views on openly viewable pages. It's them you should be shouting at...not me.. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.156.194.211 (talk) 00:11, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Actually, the person could easily have been trying to get rock removed as the genre of the album. The talk page is for discussing the article and how to improve it. That comment was legitimate and should stay. If you continue to remove legitimate comments, you will be blocked. Unless the comment has obviously nothing to do with the article in question or improving it, you may not remove it. Timmeh! 00:16, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

You might have a point.. if his words were not "Anyone with ears can hear that!" A simple "i dont think the band are rock, more alternative, i'm considering changing it" might have done. I like how you continuosly threaten me with the block feature. I'm trying to keep normality and unbias on these pages and you're helping the haters, maybe because you are one yourself. If i was to remove the album artwork would you moan at me for that as well? Even though it's breaking copyright law by having it there... Thanks :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.156.194.211 (talk) 00:24, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Exactly.. You're a bad excuse for an editor, it's a shame wikipedia allows people like you to have any control at all. --81.156.194.211 (talk) 00:38, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

No, the album cover is not breaking copyright law by being there. Wikipedia is based on neutrality and assuming good faith. Before making editing decisions, I suggest you read up on these and other Wikipedia policies. I am not threatening to block you at all. If you knew anything about Wikipedia, you would know that only administrators can block users and ip addresses. If you would like to continue editing constructively on Wikipedia, you should learn about what Wikipedia is and what its goals are. Also, do not make personal attacks toward another editor like you did above. It is one of the most important policies here. I ask you to not be prejudice against other users, as this will get you blocked if it continues. Timmeh!

00:44, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Ok, tell me this. Did Panic at the disco or their management approve the use of the Pretty. Odd. album cover? I seriously doubt it. I'd like to know how it avoids copyright law. --81.156.194.211 (talk) 01:22, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Notice how the image has a fair use rationale. Wikipedia is very strict on copyright laws, especially with images. Don't ask me to explain the whole concept to you, but the image would have been deleted by now if it didn't have a specific and legitimate fair use rationale that justifies its usage on Pretty. Odd.. Timmeh! 01:32, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Ok surely i can cast off any picture as fair use myself then? But nevermind, if you didn't have such good music taste i would be angry. Thanks for lining out the bad comment above. Sorry and thanks --81.155.197.77 (talk) 21:24, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Sum 41 images

I inserted a handful of images in the Sum 41 article. You removed them. The consensus seems to be that the top of the article is a bad place for them. Where would you propose they go instead? Or do you believe the article benefits from their absence, as your comment implies?

I'm slightly miffed that my contribution in the one area that Wikipedia is sorely lacking would have so little value. Or have I misread the intent of your revision comments? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexdi (talk • contribs) 21:39, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

You're not assuming good faith in this matter. The images you added just don't look right in the lead paragraph of the article. Also, images should not be added unless they contribute significantly to the informational content of the article. These don't. If someone wanted to see a picture of each band member, they could easily go to each member's own article. Also, you added pictures of Deryck, Cone, and Tom Thacker, and you didn't add one of Stevo. After another editor changed the Thacker picture to one of Stevo in a photo shoot, not live like the others, I removed all the images because I knew an edit war would ensue. One editor would want only the three official members of Sum 41 there and another would want Tom Thacker there too. Basically, the images are not needed and just take up space. If you still wish to use them, you are welcome to add them to the respective band member's own article, if it seems better than the picture already there. Also, please remember to always assume good faith and be a little nicer to other editors. Timmeh! 21:50, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

You posted this comment:

"these images should not even be here. i see an edit war coming and the images are so out-of-place anyway."

If it isn't bad faith to delete an entire section on the presumption of an edit war, then there is no such thing. You didn't even bother to move the images. Would it have been so difficult? Do you place so little value on the work of others that the solution of dumping everything without discussion was more amendable to you? What kind of editor are you?

Alexdi (talk) 06:04, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

The images are pointless. Give me one good reason why the images should stay on the page. Timmeh! 21:22, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure the previous post got through. You're an editor. Edit. Don't delete without discussion. It's not your place to determine whether the content should exist, and frankly strikes me as WP:Ownership. If you can't figure out the purpose of live images of a band on the band's page, there's not much I can do to help you. Alexdi (talk) 18:26, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

The images have NO purpose other than to decorate the page, which is unnecessary. Images should only be added if they significantly add to the article's informational content. These obviously don't. Go ask an experienced user in these kinds of matters. They will tell you that no band article should have pictures of all the members. Those pictures should be on each member's own article, if he has one. Also, do you see any other band articles with pictures of the members? No. So please do not argue with me. Ask someone else if you wish, but I'm not discussing this anymore. Timmeh! 23:33, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Timmeh, thanks for voting in my RfA, which passed with 47 supports (I hoped for a perfect square, but two away is close enough!), 3 opposes (the first odd prime), and 0 neutrals. I'm glad the community has decided to trust me with the mop and bucket (the flamethrower isn't supported). Of course, special thanks goes to my nominators Auawise and that one guy who buried stuff (not that the thanks I give to the you isn't special!). If you ever need a hand with something, or just want to say hello, tough feel free to drop a line! Best wishes, Nousernamesleft^copper, not wood 23:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC) This doesn't even vaguely resemble a mop, but I couldn't find a picture of one.

User:AFI-PUNK

Thanks for the message, I have sent a note to User:Seraphim Whipp and at WP:AN to let other admins aware of the situation on the matter and if he continues, Deutsche Telekom AG the network provider may have to be contacted for this. You can add some comments on WP:AN if necessary. I've reprotected Papa Roach which I had un-protected myself in September 2007 because of the socks. IP Range blocks are possible but they must be as short as possible since it can thousands of computers and users, and if only the situation is really bad, so basically it is not really recommending to block a whole range of IPs, and only used as a last resort. The best way is to simply protect a particularly targeted page for a certain period. The Papa Roach article is locked for 4 weeks while AFI was already protected due to libel concerns by [User:Can't sleep clown will eat me]]--JForget 18:16, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Linkin Park

I think you may be relyng too much on your own POV in the application of the genre alternative rock to Linkin Park articles, particularly in regards to articles related to Minutes to Midnight. WesleyDodds (talk) 23:00, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

What evidence do you have of this? I just believe that rock is too broad of a genre and alternative rock better describes the album. I can provide sources if you wish. Timmeh! 23:14, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

First of all, let me say I have no personal issue with you and I applaud your efforts with Linkin Park-related articles. I just think you're apporaching this aspect wrong. On the Minutes to Midnight talk page you wrote, "There are only 3 songs that can be classified as alt metal. This makes up only a small portion of the album. Also, the heavier songs seem to have more of a punk rock influence in them than metal. Alternative rock is the best way to describe the album as a whole . . ." That's bordering on original research, particularly with the use of "seem". Now, I've done a lot of research on both heavy metal and alternative rock (I helped Heavy metal music pass an Featured Article Review). I've seen many references from reliable sources that categorize Linkin Park as some form of metal. I've seen virtually none that classify the band as any form of alternative rock. Logically, if you think "rock" is too broad, the genre for the album page should be "Heavy metal". When it comes down to it, Linkin Park is consistently placed in the nu metal movement and the broader alternative metal grouping. Stylistically they have nothing to do with alternative rock or any of its major subgenres. WesleyDodds (talk) 23:29, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Only a few skate punk songs on the blink-182 Cheshire Cat cd, only a few, not the whole cd

Yo sorry about last message I sent you I was pissed off. But there are a few skate punk songs from the blink-182 demos that are on Cheshire Cat & mabye possibly Dude Ranch. Actually, I wasn't trying to say blink was skate punk, I was just putting a genre of some of the songs. But if skate punk gets deleted again, I won't put it back.

Rap metal not Rap rock

It cannot be rap rock when it's mixed with metal first it doesen't make sence and of course you can't call something rap rock when it's not mixed with rock THATS A FACT. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alice Mudgardens (talk • contribs) 21:57, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Rap metal just redirects to rap rock, which is basically the same thing. That's why there is not rap metal article. However, you are completely welcome to add rap metal as the genre if you can find a reliable source. Timmeh! 22:08, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Changing English spellings/grammar to American English

Please stop altering English to American English spelling or grammar on the Bismarck page. The use of the serial comma is not British standard, neither are -ize spellings. Please see WP:ENGVAR. Thanks. Narson (talk) 13:16, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

You need to calm down and assume good faith. I already know about the -ize spellings which you would have known if you would have read my reply to bigpad's message above, and actually neither usage nor non-usage of the serial comma is the British or American standard. Different sources recommend different usages, whether in American English or British English. However, there really is no ambiguity, so it doesn't need to be changed. I apologize for the inconvenience, but you need to give more accurate and understandable reasons for reverting edits and assume good faith. Timmeh! 15:23, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I was not irate nor did I revert you. Please do not scream WP:AGF at people when they simply inform you of guidelines or of your errors, it is quite jarring. Narson (talk) 19:14, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I know you didn't revert me, but you did not just inform me of my errors. You told me to stop altering the grammar and spelling to American English, and I find that quite rude. You did not need to inform me about the -ize endings, which you would have known if you would have read bigpad's earlier post. You could have said something along the lines of "I reverted your recent edit to German battleship Bismarck because...", not "Please stop altering English to American English spelling or grammar on the Bismarck page." I could have said to please not scream WP:ENGVAR at people when they are simply trying to improve the encyclopedia. The edit was my mistake and I realize that, but you absolutely did not need to tell me to stop changing it. You could have approached this in a much nicer way and then explained why my edit was reverted instead of demanding me to stop. Your first comment was quite jarring, and I am only trying to help the encyclopedia as I have been doing so I advise you to take a slightly nicer approach next time something like this happens.
