Removing Song categories...

I am not sure I agree with this. The "song" category relates to creation/first release of song, while the single tag doesn't have anything to do with the song as such. Originally it signified release as a 45 (although the meaning has now moved on...), therefore do not have the same meaning, are not synonymous and should exist side by side. This is even more apparent when talking about pre-50s songs, when first recorded performance and "single" are so different. Removing Year song is detrimental to the whole song category. --Richhoncho (talk) 21:11, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

By all means keep the conversation here, but I must admit I can't be bothered getting into another discussion where my opinion doesn't prevail, and I think this is one of them! The problem with the argument, well-given by you, is songs like Fever (Madonna song) which is correctly categorised as 1956 songs and 1993 singles so this gets a double entry, but other songs, because of WP protocols doesn't get the song category which denigrates, almost to pointlessness the whole of the songs by year category - we might as well do away with the whole song by year because we are deleting songs from it which rightfully belong there. Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 21:24, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Confused I'm lost here; what is the problem? We have (e.g.) Category:Rivers of the United States and the subcategory Category:Rivers of New York. Of course, all rivers in New York are also in the United States and so belong in the parent category, but merging up every river in the United States would be unwieldy and would defeat the purpose of subcategories in the first place. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:27, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

You shouldn't be confused, unless you compare with Rivers of the United States which is whole different body of water to songs! The difference being that not all songs are singles but all singles are songs (leaving aside instrumentals and opinions!), A "song" is specifically a song whether available as a performance, on an album, EP, singly, download or any other method of broadcast, whereas a "single" is a song available singly (broad definition, but it suffices for this conversation). Therefore I contend that single does not equal song (and surely we agree that song doesn't equal single?), so there is no duplication of category. The relevant year is not always the same, for instance I have just cat'ed If You Gotta Go, Go Now as Category:1964 songs, Category:1965 singles and Category:1969 singles. There are also (can't think of an example at the moment), album tracks released as singles in a subsequent year. Why should such songs be categorised twice because there are different years, but when the year of release is also the year of release as a single only be cat'ed once. Doesn't make sense to me, the casual reader now has to look a 2 different categories. Hope that makes sense! Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 21:48, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Okay If you feel like this scheme is problematic, the best place to raise your concerns is probably WT:SONGS. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:51, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Actually it is already raised at WPSongs, which says,

"Song articles should be placed into the following categories whenever applicable :-

a subcategory of Category:Songs by artist ("Category:<Artist name> songs") and

a subcategory of Category:Songs by year and (my bold)(a subcategory of Category:Singles by year for singles)."

Which kinda confirms my thoughts on the matter. Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 21:56, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia Campus Ambassador at IU

Hi Justin, thanks for your interest in the Wikipedia Campus Ambassador role. More details about this role can be found at http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Campus_Ambassador. Here is also a little bit more information; in a nutshell:

The Campus Ambassadors are crucial components of the Wikipedia Public Policy Initiative. Volunteers in this position will be in charge of training and supporting the participating professors and students on Wikipedia-related skills, such as how to create new articles, how to add references, how to add images, etc. Campus Ambassadors will also help recruit other people on campus to contribute to Wikipedia articles, for example by setting up Wikipedia-related student groups and by organizing "Welcome to Wikipedia" social events. In general they will become known as Wikipedia experts on the university campus (in your case, on the Indiana University campus). The estimated time commitment for this role is 3 to 5 hours a week, possibly slightly more at the very beginning and very end of the semester.

The Wikimedia Foundation will hold a three-day training for all Campus Ambassadors in August, and will continue to stay in contact with and offer full support for the Campus Ambassadors throughout the academic semester.

Please let me know if this sounds interesting to you, so we can talk about next steps in the application process. I look forward to hearing back from you!

Annie Lin, Campus Team Coordinator

Answer

To answer your question about this edit, the de-capitalization the first letter of template names and removal of links and styling from the publisher field were part of the common fixes made by Dab solver when I used it to disambiguate the Uncut link. It appears that the correct format for Template:Cite web is to have the word "cite" in lower case. Don't know why it removed the formatting from the publisher field - maybe because the magazine names belong in the work field, which automatically italicizes the value in that field? You may want to give your feedback directly to User talk:Dispenser/Dab solver. Good luck! GoingBatty (talk) 22:57, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Backstreet Boys article

I don't see why you have moved Backstreet Boys (US) to Backstreet Boys (1996 album) in this edit. It is clear that it was released in 1997 and only the international version was released in 1996. By calling this a 1996 album you're not only confusing it with the international version, you are also providing wrong information regarding the title. KingdomHearts25 (talk) 9:48, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

The only problem is that you moved the name to Backstreet Boys (1996 album) instead of moving it to Backstreet Boys (1997 album). While you have fixed it, there's another small mistake that you made: you moved Backstreet Boys (US) to Backstreet Boys (1996 album) a.k.a the international version, so when someone types in Backstreet Boys (US), they get redirected towards the international version.

Proper nouns

Perhaps you weren't aware that the MoS now gives specific guidance on the question of such names in runnning prose, adopting the style more widely used by HQ sources and styleguides generally. This has been the case for some months now—see the relevant guideline. PL290 (talk) 06:46, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes, per Wikipedia:Article_titles#Article_title_format, the parts of a proper name that are capitalized in running text are capitalized in article titles. PL290 (talk) 07:31, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Justin, don't worry about this if you haven't already taken care of it. This particular album title is a bit tricky: it's spelt with all lower-case letters on the front and back covers and a capitalised 'T' in "The" on the spine, and The Beatles's official site shows all caps. It's not a simple MoS issue. Radiopathy •talk• 16:29, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

True That's a good point; I encountered a similar issue trying to move Guns N' Roses, but it remained at that name because the "N'" is always capitalized in other sources. Ugh. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:46, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Beauty (album)

I noticed you brought forward this afd and the result was redirect to Neutral Milk Hotel. This is actually a notable release. Even if it were considered a demo recording, it was distributed (self-released) among the artists of the elephant 6 collective. This can be noted on page 9 of Kim Cooper's In The Aeroplane Over The Sea (33 1/3), 2005. The threshold for notability with regard to albums is explained by WP:NALBUMS, "Unreleased material (including demos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only recordings) is in general not notable; however, it may be notable if it has significant independent coverage in reliable sources." I feel that for this particular case, this coverage exists. I hope you don't object to a DRV. riffic (talk) 14:03, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Go ahead I certainly do not object to a DRV for this article. I would recommend make a userfied version of the article, with your sources before trying to recreate it in the main namespace. I'm entirely in favor of any article that is properly sourced, even if it's about unreleased demos. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:43, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

The members of that category are not songs. An appropriate project is probably {{WikiProject Classical music}}.

This same point applies to a large number of categories of classical music (compositions, symphonies, concerts) to which you added that banner.

Hi Koavf. I'm curious as to what happened here. Were you trying to change all the ndashes? Cheers. (feel free to respond here) Winston365 (talk) 03:22, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes At the risk of sounding like a wiseacre, I'm confused by your subsequent edit to revert me... All of the –es were replaced with the actual character for an ndash: – (and furthermore, a non-breaking space was placed before them per WP:DASH.) I guess it was confusing, but I think it's entirely appropriate. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:26, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Ok, makes sense. The days of the year articles are all based on a template (not the other kind of template) Wikipedia:WikiProject Days of the year/Template to keep them consistent. To get rid of the ndashes it should probably have consensus to do so, I think in this case the template takes precedent over WP:DASH. You could bring it up on the project page, but I think the ndashes are a good thing in this instance. New users frequently edit these pages, and they may have some difficulty trying to figure out how to type a literal ndash, which would probably have to copy-pasted from a neighboring entry. Winston365 (talk) 03:39, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Sure I'm formatting them all now. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:48, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

So I take it you don't want to wait for consensus. Is there really such a rush to have them all fixed at once? I apologize if I caused any offence, none was intended. Winston365 (talk) 03:58, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Sorry I do not take offense (offence), nor do I intend any either. I (mis)read your statement above as being basically, "Well, you're probably in the right, as WP:DASH will take precedence, but it's nice to talk about it with others." If you really think I should stop, I can... —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:01, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

No prob, but if you could stop it would be appreciated. If nothing else, these articles are patrolled by several people that watch all of them, and mass edits to all of them can make the watchlist rather difficult to deal with. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Winston365 (talk) 04:18, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Sure No worries at all; thanks for your feedback. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:19, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm still having issues with how to show "& ndash ;" (without the spaces) literally, which is part of why I was a bit unclear. nowiki tags don't seem to help. Winston365 (talk) 04:30, 12 August 2010 (UTC) –

Ndash To show any HTML element like that, rather than writing an ampersand at the beginning (&), write the HTML element for an ampersand: &amp;. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:36, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Bibliography of Author X ==> Author X Bibliography

Hey there I see where you moved the page of Bibliography of Ursula K. LeGuin to the Ursula K. Leguin Bibliography. If this is indeed the proper naming convention for wikipedia pages, will you move Bibliography of Robert Holdstock too? I am not sure how to move pages. Thanks Npd2983 (talk) 22:18, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Mahalo from Elvis

With respect, I have made changes to your edits on the article Mahalo from Elvis. This was a compilation album, not a live album. The five tracks were recorded without an audience present (this information is discussed with source in the article on the TV special Aloha from Hawaii), therefore they don't count as live recordings. Also, as the second side of the album consisted of previously issued recordings, this is more correctly a compilation album. 68.146.81.123 (talk) 00:57, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:DASH

In regards to your move of Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone to Enriquillo – Plantain Garden fault zone, WP:DASH specifies no spaces around the dash. Abductive (reasoning) 07:36, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

• All reliable sources call it the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone. You need to ease up on your imposition of an internal WP:MOS guideline on real names of things. It's one thing to go around changing United Kingdom-United States relations to United Kingdom – United States relations since that title is a Wikipedia invention. In this particular case, one of the two terms on either side of the dash is made of two words, but the other is not. Therefore Enriquillo–Plantain Garden fault zone is more appropriate, and better still is going back to using the hyphen. Abductive (reasoning) 07:59, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
  • Then it is WP:DASH that is wrong. Also, you conveniently ignore my point that the name of the thing is given in primary and secondary sources without the spaces. Ralph Waldo Emerson had something to say on this matter. Abductive (reasoning) 08:19, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
    • Actually, it is you that is wrong. "An en dash is not used for a hyphenated name (Lennard-Jones potential, named after John Lennard-Jones) or an element that lacks lexical independence (the prefix Sino- in Sino-Japanese trade)." Accordingly, I will revert you. Abductive (reasoning) 17:49, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
      • You really don't understand that Wikipedia follows the sources and operates on consensus. Abductive (reasoning) 18:00, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
        • WP:DASH is the result of not enough debate. One can see people constantly getting annoyed as other people go through and make these utterly pointless changes. Nobody cares about dashes, which is both the edits are pointless and why a tiny handful of editors have succeeded in making the changes. But article titles are different than page ranges in refs. Abductive (reasoning) 18:20, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

The She

"The She" by the Breeders was not released as a single but as a B-side to their single, "Off You". If you still want to consider that a single release for "The She", that's fine. The She (the title), however, may be more notable as a title of a novel by Carol Plum-Ucci, so, at best, it is an ambiguous redirect.

All that being said, it may be wise to create a redirect for every non-notable song recorded by the Breeders, so every one of their songs is appropriately categorized under Category:The Breeders songs, since this is an accepted way of categorizing redirects. I'll try to get on that when I get a chance, and then for other artists as well. Thanks for the clarification. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 17:45, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Confusing edit...

If you mean "Songs written by Black Francis" it was because it was listed alphabetically under "S" for songs, rather than the correct "B" for Black. That's why I added the defsort. Cheers. Richhoncho (talk) 01:44, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Big Star

Noticed you tagged Big Star for bare urls a couple of times; well spotted. I think I've now fixed all those that got added (missed one the first time). If you spot more, could you identify which please, to save the hunt. (Do you have something that finds them?) PL290 (talk) 13:23, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks—that clarifies. There were a few Wikipedia:Bare URLs that got added recently, following the death of first Chilton and then Hummel, but I believe I've now found all those. Regarding "any instance of <ref>http or <ref>[http. At least, that will spot articles with that type of bare URL formatting", my own preference too is normally to avoid that format by using citation templates; however, in this case, the reviewers I collaborated with when building up this article were not keen on templates, so the templates were removed before many refs were added. Therefore, the refs do indeed exhibit the markup pattern you describe. But they are not Wikipedia:Bare URLs, because other citation details follow the url. You may wish to ignore such instances if they come up again. PL290 (talk) 07:44, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Please stop

You are posting numerous edits to the Infobox templates. Each one of these masks the medal table, damaging the look of each of these articles. For the athletes you are hiding these medal tables, these are their primary claims to fame. Yes I understand the table can be opened by the user, but that requires unnecessary knowledge and involvement on the part of that user. We are providing information here. Your edits are hiding it. Please stop now. Go back and fix the damage you have already caused. Trackinfo (talk) 22:28, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Archive size

WP:TOOLONG is about article size, not talk pages. Even if applied to talk pages, the guideline limits pages prose, not total page size. The limit in TOOLONG is for reader convenience, which is inapplicable to talk page archives. Mass unilateral changes to archive settings is not the way to do things. Rami R 16:32, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

I fully agree with Rami R. There is currently an ongoing discussion what is the preferred size for archives. Participate in that discussion with your reasoning. --Kslotte (talk) 16:55, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

@Koavf, even the technical section doesn't really apply to talk pages, as it assumes a specific correlation between "wikisize" and actual size. Example: Israel is 180KiB of wikitext, with a document size of 651KiB (and that's not including 1.3MiB of addition images, scripts, css and such). Talk:Israel/Archive 33 is 254KiB of wikitext, but with a document size of only 357 KiB (plus 815KiB). Rami R 17:11, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Em and En

Just FYI, WP:EMDASH indicates that spaced en dashes (which I had used when reconstructing the article – and which I believe were the standard on that article) are allowed as an alternative to em dashes. Not a big deal, obviously, and thanks for your attention to detail. But it's a tomato/tomato type of thing. 8) Scartol • Tok 23:32, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks I seem to recall the mdash/spaced endash divide, but I guess I always default to mdashes—it just seems safer as there is no complication with non-breaking spaces. It looks like this is not a WP:RETAIN issue, so I guess editors could go back and forth on the matter, but it seems like (thankfully) neither of us wants to do something so childish. For what it's worth, had the article been written with non-breaking spaces and endashes, I would never have noticed, because I use a script that detects endashes without non-breaking spaces. Anyway, thanks again. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:53, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the offer!

Sure I'd love your help. You can guess that other than spending 50% of my wiki-time negotiating to upload photos, I generally edit about 12 articles at a time, since my boredom threshold is so low (I have ADD). Take your pick. probably the articles needing help really bad are The Derek Trucks Band (what a mess!)-- though I just began the article for Mike Mattison, the lead vocalist for that band, and also Derek Trucks, and The Allman Brothers Band. The other articles are certainly Rory Gallagher, whose brother finally updated his website with a million sources to use, and last but not least, Jaco Pastorius, who has a bunch of sources all in the External links section. [SIGH]. I guess the article on The Derek Trucks Band (and all related to it) are highest on the list aince they're all alive, but I'd also love to see Rory get his due, too! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 07:26, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Very big thanks that you looked at the articles and started to make a change! For some insane reason, I can't find a birthdate for Mike Mattison.

Ron Holloway

What to do? I don't know who to address about this. Ron Holloway discovered a stub about him here when I was a new cocky editor, and when I noticed this, I was a fool and agreed to "adopt" him without enough experience. I knew him as an underage kid, sneaking into venues with older friends and saw him play with Root Boy Slim and later with Gil Scott-Heron's band, although I don't have proof he was a member. Problem #1: he then claims to being a "member" of a Dizzy Gillespie's "final quintet" for 5 yrs. until his death and now he is with Susan Tedeschi. It appears he either "sat in" with Dizzy or at most was hired as a touring sideman; again, nothing more from Gillespie, & no credits on albums- which is also true with Tedeschi. In his editing, he places himself on her level, speaking in the first person: "Ron and Susan remembered that another band were playing..)" The problem with his biography is two-fold: He resisted really learning to find reliable references and inline references. You can see in his article halfway down where I just threw my hands in the air and walked away. Problem #2 was that he did not obtain what I'd assume to be a mountain of local newspaper clippings from The Washington Post and the like. There are a few, but to my horror, (maybe because he IS absent from playing on any of the albums that compared to 2 years ago, it appears he created two full pages of Google links to sites like Answers.com and Music Encyclopedias that anyone can add to! He also seems to think that a link to You Tube videos playing live with Tedeschi for example, will serve as a reference. He has discontinued responding to my emails. I'd like to suggest a re-write of the article. He IS notable, but it is hard to determne if hia last musical affiliations are not just jobs as sideman or session musician, rather than a band member.--Leahtwosaints (talk) 00:48, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

I've told Ron a ton of times that this isn't an armchair chat, and ALL the rules. He only listens to what he wants to hear!!! I've waited perhaps 9 months since his last promise to put in references and those two pages of "results" from Google are all him! When I confronted him with it, his response was some crap about how musicians need the publicity!! I mean it. Then I lean on him, he promises to get together with me to fix it, and then that never happens. Never. He had a gig with Susan Tedeschi a year ago locally, but copped out of picking me up to go to the concert (since he was to give me the clippings on the way there.) It's Ron Holloway himself making all these unsourced claims-- stretching the truth further than it could ever go. I initially saw no reason to question, thinking that any proud, doting parent would perhaps hold tons of clippings of his musical career- and because I'd SEEN him play with several very notable bands. I just chalked it off to him being too busy touring to come up with the references which I'd agreed to insert- and show him how to do inline references. That problem there should have set off a red flag since he actually placed the entire jazz banner and then any possible Category in the external links, and other stuff. If he can be observant enough to learn all this other stuff without ever having volunteered and worked on ANY other article (which I think should be mandatory before writing your first articl), then he could obviously have retrieved really serious references and inserted them properly. It was only this week, working on minor Susan Tedeschi items that I noticed he isn't listed recording with her. Than I saw the same for all the others. No wonder he sat on the phone for an hour from FRANCE (truly!) to complain because someone dropped his article ranking from B level to C level once I quit helping him-- which was only because he wouldn't ever respond to my questions. So, now I see him as a sideman. Here's what I wrote at first to User:Wasted Time R and his answers: [4]

That phone call from France was about a month after the big Beacon Theatre run with The Allman Brothers Band concert. I recall it since he was telling me about meeting Levon Helm and James Jamerson. How do we request a re-write with the article? --Leahtwosaints (talk) 23:53, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Question about categories

For the second time this week, I've added a Category (In this case it's Susan Tedeschi and Category:Rounder Records artists) but when I see the page for the Category, it's alphabetized and since there is no "T", she won't show up in the categoty. How to deal with that? --Leahtwosaints (talk) 00:03, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Oh, so the software does it automatically, once you add to the bottom of the external links. Learn something new every day. Speaking of which, on the Ron Holloway issue, I'm adjusting other connected articles, like Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks, The Derek Trucks Band, Gil Scott-Heron, etc. to reflect that he has played with them, but I'm not calling him a "band member" or "former member of Dizzy Gillespie's last quintet (which is another thing he claims but there's no evidence there was a "final quintet" at all) -- not unless I see a really solid reference actually calling him a band member. I think that's fair enough. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 00:37, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Koavf. Please note that the {{recent death}} template, which you added to Robert S. Ingersoll, is only intended to be used for heavily-edited articles. Regards, ^Bongo_matic 05:09, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

No problem, just thought you'd want to know why I removed it. After thinking about it, I tend to agree that the template is unnecessarily sensationalist unless it's really needed to warn editors about potential conflicts or situations where the information is likely to change fundamentally (not just get more detailed over time). ^Bongo_matic 05:15, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

The Simpsons templates

Did you ever pause to think that maybe there's a reason why the 100+ Simpsons-related templates and categories were not part of WP:DOH? We, as a project, had previously decided that we would only include mainspace articles in the project. Could you please remove them? Here is the category with all of them. Thanks, Scorpion⁰⁴²² 23:19, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Because the project focuses on mainspace content. What is the point in tagging an article like {{Infobox Simpsons season 1 episode list header}}? -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 00:23, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

I already pointed out the problem. Our project focuses on mainspace content, and most of those templates are minor and of no value to the project. They also skew the statistics seen in the statistics table. We had previously decided not to include them. I had hoped you would remove them, but if you're too lazy, then I'll do it myself. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 00:32, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough, but I consider tagging a bunch of articles with templates for wikiprojects you aren't part of, just so you can up your edit count, to be uncivil as well. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 02:59, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

He was honored with his own "day" in Maryland for composing the theme song to the (formerly known) Washington Bullets, and a few other jingles. I just don't have the ability to focus on it, and it doesn't look right. The three entries that need fixing with references there are Nils Lofgren, Adam Duritz, and Ron Holloway (jeez the guy can find an obscure page like that and put his photo there, but can't figure out what a Reliable reference is and especially, inline references). --Leahtwosaints (talk) 15:40, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Template:AR report

I closed this one as no consensus, but I feel as though you may have a stronger argument for deletion, but that the !voters didn't fully understand what is going on. If you check the talk page, it states in the usage that the template is substituted. If this is indeed the case, there is zero reason to keep it as the old revisions wouldn't depend on it at all. Perhaps one could make a database query request to see if it was ever transcluded, or do some informal investigation of a few old revisions. If this is indeed the case, I would fully support bringing this back to TFD or to DRV, and making it clear that it was never transcluded, which would nullify the arguments against deletion. Thanks, and I wish I would have noticed this earlier. I am going to amend my closing statement to make it clear that I support renomination once some investigation is performed. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 15:42, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

In this case, wouldn't it need to be kept for attribution purposes? The substituted remnants reference it in a hidden comment. –xeno^talk 15:48, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

I don't think that is necessary given the content. It's a very simple table of links. It would be different if it were prose, or something more substantive (in my opinion). However, one could always move it to a subpage of Wikipedia:Abuse response if one wanted to keep it around for historical reference. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 16:16, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

What particular benefit would be had by deleting it? –xeno^talk 16:17, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

When I type "template:AR" in the search box (or perform a prefix search), I get a list of all templates that start with AR. Deleting this would be one fewer result, and hence, make it easier to find other templates which start with the same name. However, forget that for now. Tell me how this isn't redundant to {{AR links}}? It appears to be almost identical. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 16:31, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

AR links is transcluded in, and generates the "sidebox" of AR report. –xeno^talk 16:33, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes, sorry about that. I posted before checking more closely. I would say that would make the GDFL argument even weaker for AR report. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 16:35, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Deletion What is gained in deletion is one less template for searching, hosting on Wikipedia's servers, etc. There is no point in keeping a template that is providing no benefit and is deprecated from use. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:31, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

The search/prefixsearch thing doesn't really strike me as a compelling reason to delete. As far as 'hosting', deletion doesn't save any space whatsoever (takes up more, actually). –xeno^talk 12:46, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

That would appear to be the main difference of opinion. On one hand, you believe there is no compelling reason to delete, and on the other hand, I believe there is no compelling reason not to delete. Sorry if I am not correctly characterizing your opinion. If this is the case, I believe we are at an impasse. I personally see this particular case as falling under CSD#T3. But that is, obviously, my opinion and is share by some but is not shared by everyone (as can be seen by watching to discussion at WP:TFD). Thank you for your feedback, and I hope Justin doesn't mind all this being hashed out on his page. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 20:47, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Digital filters

I reverted your change to SVG images, since those images are incorrect in including an erroneous a0 multiplier. If you want to change to SVG, you'll need to fix them, or find correct images. Dicklyon (talk) 20:02, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Black Crowes' "Tribute to a Work in Progress..."

Yeah. I thought I might add a less obtrusive hyphen while I was adding an ellipsis. That en-dash sure looks like an em-dash when it's blown up to title size. Must be a font thing. I can live with it. Cheers, Wikkitywack (talk) 08:40, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Then will you tell me why you his third studio album should actually be a compilation. What were they previously released on to make it be called that? And if you are referring to the EPs released before the album, that doesn't count because, as stated on the pages, they are live versions of the songs, not studio versions. —ΣПDiПG-STΛЯT (talk) 03:38, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

I did not make a slanderous allegation. I simply put a message on your talk page noting that I saw you changed it to a compilation album on several different occasions, after it was changed back to being a studio album. I'm sorry if I may have no handled it exactly right, I am still very new at this whole thing, so I'm getting used to it. —ΣПDiПG-STΛЯT (talk) 03:43, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
