NX Zero

Hey there, how's it going? Just dropping you a message about your edit to NX Zero earlier (this one). You added 'Hardcore punk' as being a genre of NX Zero, and in the edit summary you left a brief biography of Bloodlined Calligraphy. I'm not sure how this relates to NX Zero, so I thought I'd drop by and kindly ask. While I'm here, I actually have no idea what genre NX Zero really is. Is it Hardcore? Metal? Punk? Pop? I really have no idea. (Well, I have a small idea, but it seems to conflict with what everyone else thinks, so it's probably wrong.) Despite this, I do know that unless something correct is decided on the article sooner or later, every newcomer to the article will be adding their own differing opinion - and it'll be a constantly changing mess. (I'm not saying that's what your edit was. Your edit was constructive, but some anonymous edits concerning genre on band articles aren't.) So let me know on your opinion of NX Zero's genre. Oh, and this message assumes that you're a listner of NX Zero - so apologies if this isn't the case.

All the best, -GilbertoSilvaFan (talk) 10:50, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, this made my day, and it just started! The edit summary was just a copy/paste error; if you look at my contribs you'll see I edited Bloodlined Calligraphy recently as well. I was intending to paste Repairing link to disambiguation page -- You can help! or similar, but apparently forgot I had copied something else after copying the correct edit summary. Sorry for the confusion! I was in the middle of a round of disambiguation link repair changing hardcore to hardcore punk, so that's why I changed the genre. And no, I've never heard of or listened to these guys, so I guess the apology is accepted ;) I'm wondering how you came across the article, assuming you're not a fan due to the fact you're unsure of their genre. I have no clue how all those genres listed in the article match up. It has happened to me before while link repairing that I've had to revert suspected genre-vandalism, so maybe the genre is something to be investigated. But I don't really care :] ~EdGl 13:56, 29 March 2008 (UTC) Edit whoops, I noticed you were the article's creator, so you probably have listened to them; in which case, feel free to edit the genre section where you see fit. ~EdGl 13:59, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, thanks for the reply. That edit summary now makes sense! Thanks for clearing that up, it had me quite confused :-)

On the subject of genre - as you pointed out, I created the created the article and I quite like the band. Despite that though, I've still got no idea what genre they are. This whole 'hardcore vs. punk vs. nu metal vs. pop rock' thing is pointless and deeply annoying, yet people are so opinionated about it! To me, NX Zero don't really seem to fit into a single genre, yet many disagree with me, hence the conflicting edits. I guess I'll just go eat some celery and calm down about it all.

Thanks again, GilbertoSilvaFan (talk) 14:19, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

toothpaste

What do you think about that RSS stuff on the Toothpaste For Dinner page? Should it stay or go? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Breadmold (talk • contribs) 16:06, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It should go; thanks for the heads up; I removed the section. ~EdGl (talk) 17:59, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for looking into this. It looks like someone has added the artist's last name to the discussion section too - do you know the author of Toothpaste For Dinner? Is this potentially libelous/private info? I would edit myself, but some editors deleted the Natalie Dee page over some edits I made, so I want to stay out of TPFD before it gets the axe too... Breadmold (talk) 16:51, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see his last name anywhere.. anyway I don't know the author but I do know he does not like to be harassed and would not want his last name to get out. Might as well respect his wishes. ~EdGl (talk)

WikiProject Categories/uncategorized

EdGI, are you in charge of this project? Just asking because I couldn't find something obvious on the project page to indicate who was the main POC. Anyway, I was wondering what's going on with the project. I have been on it for a short time, and have worked on various articles. Sometimes it would be nice to work with someone or just talk about project stuff, but I don't see much conversation going on. Thanks. --THE FOUNDERS INTENT TALK 15:39, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, nice to meet you, The Founders Intent. I am merely the "founder;" nobody is really "in charge" (my intention was/is for everybody to be "equal" [that was "the founder's intent," pardon the pun]). I was once heavily involved in the project (or more appropriately, "task force"), but unfortunately I have been quite inactive on Wikipedia as of late (for no real good reason I'm afraid). I'm not sure what can be done as far as communication/interaction/discussion is concerned, but for a long time I've been toying with the idea of writing a little note to each Wikipedian who's on the participants list -- sort of a "mass message" thing -- the message could be anything, like "hey, you signed up to categorize uncategorized articles. please consider helping out again if you haven't helped us out lately. if you don't want do help out ever again, please tell me and i'll remove your name from the list or else you can do it yourself (no shame in leaving)." This (I think) would bring back a sense of "unity" to the project and give us a better sense of where we're at (is this what you meant by "what's going on with the project"?). Other than that, I don't know what else to do. Hopefully I answered your questions, but if not or if you have more questions you know where to find me (just to clarify, it's edgl not edgi ;). ~EdGl (talk) 02:31, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I understand completely what you are saying. It just seems like these parts of Wikipedia are out of the limelight and don't seem to draw a lot of people. I'm also not well versed in the art of fixing some of these articles that are more than uncategorized. I usually end up improving other things besides put them in categories, and it's hard to find people that you can pose questions to. Thanks for getting back, maybe this will motivate you to return and be more active. I'm a working stiff too, and this is just a hobby. Even 30 min a day communicating and working an article or two would be great. --THE FOUNDERS INTENT TALK 13:32, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I think WP:UNCAT is pretty popular, at least popular enough in its own little niche on Wikipedia. It's basically a sub-project of WikiProject Categories, yet it gains no fewer than 4 new participants each month (with no exceptions since it began in what, February of last year? amazing if you ask me). The backlog was sagging a few months ago, but now we're pretty much up to speed. So, some people must be working their butts off, and if you have any questions related to the project, you can post on the project's talk page and somebody (maybe even I) will get back to you ASAP. If that does not satisfy you, then I'm all for rounding up a core group of Wikipedians absolultely loyal and dedicated to the project (and who are on Wikipedia often) to serve in the capacity you are looking for (my mass message idea above).
And who knows, maybe I'll come back to being a regular :). I've just been enjoying myself due to the beautiful weather and the fact that school's out; I only use the computer (and Wikipedia) once a day, as you can see. Hopefully in the coming days I can work out a balance between everything and give the project a little more time of day. You sound like you're very dedicated to this, for which I am very impressed and thankful. Two concluding questions: Would the project's talk page be a good place for these "disussions," or do you have a different idea? and, Should I start writing a message to all the participants (and if so, what should it say)? ~EdGl (talk) 02:02, 27 June 2008 (UTC) EDIT: If you haven't already, check out the "Hints and Tips" section in WP:UNCAT; should be pretty helpful. 02:12, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, how do you do that message thing? --THE FOUNDERS INTENT TALK 02:24, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The easiest way would be to create a user subpage and write the message on the subpage, then treat it like a template and post it on every participant's talk page. I would use template substitution (e.g., {{subst:User:EdGl/subpage}}) so that the message won't change if the template (in this case the subpage) changes (maybe I'd want to create a different message in the future or something). ~EdGl (talk) 03:37, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, I mean how do you leave that message thing on my talk page? --THE FOUNDERS INTENT TALK 11:33, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, after replying here I use {{Talkback}} on your talk page. It keeps the conversation in one place while still notifying the other person of new posts. In your case you'd use {{Talkback|The Founders Intent}}. ~EdGl (talk) 02:59, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Fear Love

A tag has been placed on Fear Love requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Wolfer68 (talk) 00:11, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why did I get this message? I didn't create this article; I don't even remember editing it. ~EdGl (talk) 01:19, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Really? You were listed as the creator. I think it was back in late 2006. If it wasn't already deleted, I'd point it out to you. It was an album by the band Yuppicide (the band article was long ago deleted). --Wolfer68 (talk) 01:59, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, still not ringing a bell... wonder why I created it? Haha. Couldn't care less about an article of an album of a band I don't even know. ~EdGl (talk) 02:04, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Userpages in Wikipedia namespace

{{adminhelp}}

There are a number of userpages in the Wikipedia namespace that need to be moved to the User namespace with the resulting redirect page deleted. Type in Wikipedia:User: in the search box and you'll see the problem pages in the drop-down list. I moved Wikipedia:Userpage:Howardrm46 (a variant of "Wikipedia:User:") to the appropriate userpage and tagged the redirect {{db-g2}}, but I'm unsure if that was the correct thing to do. After doing this please tell me what I should have done so I can learn something new :) ~EdGl (talk) 01:44, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You were correct - to be more accurate (since it's primarily for mainspace) it's R2 (or could also be R3), though. -- Mentifisto 02:17, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, do I have to move these pages and tag the redirects for deletion, or are you going to do the moving and deleting yourself? ~EdGl (talk) 04:11, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well, we can do them together I suppose. :-) -- Mentifisto 04:17, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ha, right. I'm sorry. I thought you were just asking a generic question so that's why I attempted it. -- Mentifisto 04:43, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rich King Casting

EdGl, any help you could provide me with would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your understanding. I do some work as a consultant for Rich King Casting, which enables me to learn about the subject, I figured that would be to the benefit of the article, does that change something? Thank you. ShaunessyQuinn (talk) 18:35, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It does change something, in fact – please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Creating/editing an article about your company, yourself, your band, etc. is strongly discouraged in order for the crucial policy Wikipedia:Neutral point of view to hold. You may be tempted to write the article so that it puts your company in a very positive (or for some reason negative) light, which is bad for a serious encyclopedia. It is also extremely important that you write the article based on information from reliable sources as opposed to firsthand information. ~EdGl (talk) 19:37, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]


I will read those articles and do my best to disassociate from Rich King Casting and attempt to write the article from a neutral point of view in the same way in which I would write a research paper using only reliable sources. I do understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and can only take legitimate sources of information, would you be willing to look over it before I publish it to make sure I have followed all rules and regulations accordingly? It wont be soon, I'm going to spend the next couple of weeks reading and learning about wikipedia, as well as researching Rich King Casting in order to write the page so it fits wikipedias standards. Is there anything else I should do or keep in mind, also will it just get taken down again since I worked there? Thanks! ShaunessyQuinn (talk) 20:04, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another page you should definitely read is Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), a guideline which, if met, will prevent the article from being deleted. I'd be more than happy to look it over and help you with anything else Wikipedia-related, because you show an understanding and a willingness to follow Wikipedia:Policies and Guidelines (a page I like better: Wikipedia:Simplified ruleset). Good luck. ~EdGl (talk) 20:48, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Festivals

Ed,

I wanted to say a couple of things. First, thanks for the recognition relating to Christian music festivals. I sort of stumbled on the topic, but it took me a while to realize how just how much material there was and how expansive an article would need to be to cover all the angles. Sourcing it was special too, as there are actually a great number of sources available (especially online, although these rarely cover history), but they are usually pretty narrow in scope (X festival in Y year. Z artists...) and generally not useful. Their quality and completeness has the consistency of Swiss cheese. So far as I know (I may be wrong, but that would've been a wonderful source to have, and I'm decently well-read on CCM) nobody has written a general history of the topic as complete as that one.

Paul Baker does a good job with festivals, but he writes too early to see the full effects of the early festivals. (I was however pleasantly surprised to find that he cites many of the early sources that I had found - and doubly so since I had already found them.) John J. Thompson is generally a good source, and his book (Raised By Wolves) casts a wide net but is poorly edited and desperately incomplete in scope and definition in some parts. Others write on pretty narrow topics with a good bit of depth (Sabatino, Beaujon, Howard & Strek, Cusic). Finally, while Powell (Ency CCM) does a wonderful examination of artists but completely fails to talk about extra items such as radio or the industry in single-scope articles.

It took me six months of work to complete festivals, most of it searching for sources and finding ways to string them together intelligently. I say all that to say this: My next large scope article was even harder and took longer.

I told you once (back in 2006) that I would work on a certain article when I knew what to say, that sources were scant and that the probability of failure was high unless approached properly. That article has since been deleted while the world around it improved.... I didn't have the access to sources then that I have now. It's sort of been one of the black spots in my mind. I think that we were both on wikibreak when that AFD happened (since neither of us spoke at that time), but now the situation has been rectified.

So please enjoy this victory at long last:

Christian ska

Thanks for contributing, no one ever says that we're appreciated enough, but I truly do appreciate your input. And keep the faith.

Dan, the CowMan (talk) 04:30, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I was taking a wikibreak when all of a sudden I come back and Christian ska is gone! Glad to see you revived it. How did you become so well-read in CCM? More to the point, how do you find so many good sources for Christian music-related articles? It's hard for me to find reliable sources for this subject online. Anything good at a library? If I may I'd like to request you work on Christian punk next... work your magic like you always do! :) ~EdGl (talk) 17:46, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(unindent) Online sources such as tollbooth, Jesus Freak Hideout, and Cross Rhythms are wonderful, but obviously don't offer the full scope of what is available. (Note also that the last one was a printed magazine and can be cited as such.)

Over the past few years I have been able to acquire several sources from ebay, which mostly comprises of limited magazine backissues: HM, 7ball, True Tunes News, Harvest Rock Syndicate, Cornerstone, CCM. These rarely come up (and I consider myself lucky to have them at all), and it takes same long-term searching to find them, and usually I only buy in bulk lots of backissues (more cost effective).

There are actually a lot of potential sources in smaller zines; There are over 200 that I know of. That said, I don't have copies of almost any of them.

Amother technique is to look for dead URLs (of magazines, bands, labels, ect.) in literature (or just old sites) and attempt retreival through the Internet Archive. I tend to save what I find to a local copy, and a good bit of it has been useful.

Libraries are the key, but contents vary wildly, of course. My county doesn't have much to offer me except remote access to databases such as LexisNexis. This has actually been invaluable, as they offer full text search of mags such as NewsWeek, Billboard, and Broadcasting & Cable (and also newspapers). The more specific your search is (to a point) the better your search results will be. And I can access it from home, all for free.

One county over offers me some great resources. There I had my first look at Powell and Howard & Strek. But beyond that they have a good number of general reference works - Encycs of Rock, Punk, Metal, Reggae, [genre]. The trouble with these is that they generally cover only the best known / most influential artists in each category, and rarely mention that the Christian [genre] category exists. There are some standouts: Mark Hale's Headbangers is basically a list of every metal band that existed before 1989. It lists members, releases (demos included), years, and other pertinant details of a bands existance.

Another great reference work is Contemporary Musicians (ISSN 1044-2197), which covers bands in all genres of music and doesn't discriminate on style or content. I find t to be generally more useful that the Billboard Guide to CCM (which covers only already very well-known acts). I guess what I'm saying is don't ignore general reference sources, they do sometimes turn out to be useful. Z Music Television, for instance, was almost entirely written from general sources, althouch I found the initial plug in CCM.

University libraries are the best. At large public univerisities yau can find physical copies of innumerable general magazines - Life, Time, ect. These are useful for finding artcles that arent covered online for whatever reason. And sometimes they have a few CCM-focused books too.

Christian universities are a special class. I have found that the frequently carry ministry oriented titles such as YouthWorker (good reviews in late 90s), and Campus Life (good reviews late 80s / early 90s). Many also have archives of CCM (one near me has near-complete archives which I have spent about 2 years trolling through), and a few have C-Stone. Even fewer have rock-oriented Chr mags (7ball, HM and the like). The one I live near also has six or eight books on the evils of Christian music, some on radio, and general CCM references.

You can use WorldCat to quick search libraries, but it's listings are 1) incomplete - not all libraries subscribe 2) Sometimes wrong. Call before going out of your way. Also, don't gte frustrated if you cant find exactly what you want - once yau are at a location it's easier to find what they really hold.

Take good notes. Pay atention to what others reference. An article in CCM may say something like "A recent article in [newspaper/mag]".

I only buy books if they're cheap.

Email me and I'll send you some files.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals

I'm back! And I've started to create subpages for January so far. OnHoliday 15:40, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RE: the unsourced Ronald J. Meyer

Yes, there are a dozen or so references listed in the reference section. But you will have great difficulty placing them inline. I had read through them previously and, unfortunately, none of them supports the information in the article. These sources are mostly brief mentions in local newspapers about Meyer and his self-published book, Freddy Fox. In fact, the creator of the Freddy Fox article has listed the exact same set of refs for that article. There is no mention of Meyer's early life, service, or career -- other than that he is a local photographer and former city councilman in the town of Berkley Michigan and he wrote a 32-page children's picture book. I'm afraid Meyer doesn't even appear to pass basic notability criteria for WP:BIO -- as an author or photographer -- let alone have reliable sources for the WP:BLP verifiability issue. If you can find some significant sources, than that would be great. But this may be a lost cause. Good luck. — CactusWriter | needles 18:55, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

10 Years

I redirected it to the band because no one is going to type 10 years in and want to look at the albums by the either of the artist. So why not just re direct it to the band. Plus none of the songs on the albums reached number 1 on either charts, which proves my point that they aren't going to be search that often. Plus 10 years the band has reached number 1 on the Hard Rock charts and will be the most searched for when someone searchs for 10 years.--Fire 55 (talk) 22:04, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you're saying. We'll need to move 10 Years (band) back to 10 Years, which requires administrator action. When I get around to it I'll post this situation on WP:Requested moves (or else you can). Thank you for informing me about this. ~EdGl ★ 22:08, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

sub-article Template

Here is the sub-article Template

You didn't cause any trouble; just a little confusion.--Michael (Talk) 21:41, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, yes, some articles are too long that a section or sections within the article should be made into their own articles (e.g. United States and History of the United States), which is why I said "technically." The wording in that template is a little off; see Wikipedia:Subpages, specifically #Articles do not have sub-pages.
I don't want to be rude to any Wikipedian, especially new ones. If I did it was unintentional. Can you explain what I did wrong so I don't repeat it? Thank you. ~EdGl ★ 23:11, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Don’t worry about it. I just wanted to let you know that there is.. such thing as a "sub-article" on Wikipedia. Umm, You been on here since 12/20/2005 and I truly don’t have to explain this to you. --Michael (Talk) 00:40, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
(comments posted by Kaiwhakahaere (talk) on 01:53, 29 April 2009 (UTC) removed by EdGl -- now that's "biting"... I'll have none of that on my talk page) Glad to see this whole thing put to rest. Happy editing. ~EdGl ★ 02:21, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not worry about User:Kaiwhakahaere . He is one of my hatters. It's all good. He only a youngster. He will go way soon. --Michael (Talk) 03:43, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Medical procedures

While you are addressing the issues of whether a medical procedures category is a good idea, perhaps you could look at a conversation I started at MOS:MED and, if avaliable, add your thoughts? See Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(medicine-related_articles)#Guidelines_for_articles_relating_to_medical_procedures. ---kilbad (talk) 18:37, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD

I was asked to participate in the AfD of "Home and family blog". I looked up the relevant guidelines, and have posted them at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Home and family blog for your consideration. The Transhumanist    21:56, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: MxPx

Thanks for the background on MxPx discography. The anon user's warning is amended (the deletion still should have been explained with an edit summary). The comment in that article's list didn't specify that cover albums such as OTC, OCT II (which are essentially studio albums, though a special type) should be omitted. Will leave that part of the article alone, at least until the MxPx talk page discussion has settled. Dl2000 (talk) 23:57, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Dams

Just curious, it is because you saw my section on Talk:Dam that you found out about the WikiProject Dams proposal, or is it otherwise?

Because that proposal has had no attention for 2 months, then I post one section on it, and suddenly it receives attention... Again, just curious, because I have had less than 1.5 yrs on Wikipedia and I like to know how to propose things better, in the future. themaeetalk 02:50, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I already had your proposal on my watchlist, and when someone edited it, I took a good look at it and made a decision to support. I'm the one (with the help of others) who made each WikiProject proposal a subpage and changed the format of how WikiProjects/task forces are proposed. For that reason I became very involved in WP:COUNCIL/P and watchlisted all the subpages.
Most proposals don't get a lot of feedback, and I too am wondering how to improve the system. You did what I would do; mention it on the talk page of the article that defines the scope of the WikiProject. Mentioning it on any parent WikiProjects is a good idea too (some WikiProjects even have their own places for WikiProject/task force proposals). ~EdGl ★ 04:11, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'd wondered for a long time whether to place a proposal on the Civil Engineering WikiProject, or on related articles, or whatever. I just took a chance on Talk:Dam and I didn't realize that that was a good thing to do. Kind of short on time now, though. Cheers, themaeetalk 04:40, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Brian Nelson move request

I've added a move request if your interested in supporting (or opposing!) it. Talk:Brian_Nelson_(disambiguation). Green Cardamom (talk) 16:01, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Supernatural project

Please archive the proposal on the Supernatural Task Force, which I had honestly forgotten about. My free time has been taken up helping organize the Horror WikiProject and helping in the creation of a new (and strangely different) wiki. Thank you for asking, though. hornoir (talk) 10:05, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
