Re: Thoughts on Norma Jean's label...

My reason for removing Tooth & Nail Records is because even though Solid State is part of Tooth & Nail they are not the same thing. I do understand how it would fit there and I did think before removing it and I am sorry about. Even thought they are owned by the same people, I see Tooth & Nail as a different label because they sign different types of artist than Solid State does.

-ZAN- (残 -ZAN-)

I've reverted your last edit of -ZAN- (残 -ZAN-) as it added the entire lyrics for the song, which is a breach of copyright unless there is verified permission from the copyright holder. I didn't revert your first edit though, because that was fine. While it's good to be bold in editing Wikipedia, remember copyright issues; quoting a single line might count as fair use, but quoting the entire lyrics doesn't.

Mr.NEWSMAN in Dir en grey discography

Mr.NEWSMAN is written countless times on all CDs and in all Booklets as "Mr.NEWSMAN". I have all of their merchandise, and it is always written this way. If you have any scans you wold like to show me, feel free to e-mail me at notjake13@gmail.com. Also, one minor typo in a lyric booklet is no proof of a different title.

Centigrade-j link in Deg article

What exactly made the removal of this link necessary? It's not like everyone reading this article is fluent in Japanese and could never use translations for the lyrics. And as you may know as a dedicated fan (that much I can grasp from your nickname), some official translations are not all that accurate and do not come with any sort of notes about the extensive use of metaphors and wordplay. The translations on the site you unlinked do. Please reconsider this edit and maybe you could join us the article's discussion page from time to time, when there are disagreements of this kind.

Regards

- Cyrus XIII, 11:36, September 7th 2006 (CET)

Track composers

Although the composer of "Mr.NEWSMAN" is definitely Die, the CDs with live tracks now simply list it as "Dir en grey". I can provide scans (unless you already have the CD) if you'd like a reference point to the composers. I think the standard of what is explicitly written on the CD case should be used.

-NotJake13

kisou booklet

I just checked my copy of the album and there's only one booklet with kanji only. Could there be different editions or maybe you got two albums mixed up? In any case, I removed the respective note in the article for now, I'd hate to hear about people who broke their CD case due to mixed up information. Regards - Cyrus XIII, 10:45, September 16th 2006 (CET)

INWARD SCREAM Page

Hey, I really like the idea of having a page for the INWARD SCREAM bootleg...but I'm not sure wether or not it should be put up. It doesn't meet the standards of some people, but I know I'd like to have it up for reference. Maybe there should be a section on the Dir en grey Dicography page for "Bootlegs". I know of several bootlegged performances that I might be able to add information on. I have a great copy of a bootleg from Shanghai back in the Asia tours in 2002. Maybe you should talk to Cyrus XIII (sorry if I numbered that inorrectley), since he or she seems to know and run (very well I might add) the disco. page.

Re: WTD. は romaji...

The official website says "HA", so we go with "HA", quite simple. I'll leave it to you to revert this. And please, don't mention me in edit summaries. I'm not some sort of internationally recognized expert on romanization of Japanese or Dir en grey, just another contributor. Have a nice day - Cyrus XIII 06:27, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Toshiya's ESP Bass(es)...

Well, like you said, you don't know for sure wether these instruments were ESP made or not. So pretty much anything you could write about these phantom bass guitars in an article would be pretty speculative. And please ask yourself, is this really so important? I recently had to remove nearly all the biographical information on these people because there where absolutely no sources given to back that up. How about rather digging up some well sourced information, which is worthwhile not just for hardcore fans of the band? Regards - Cyrus XIII 08:16, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Unearth06.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Unearth06.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 01:11, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Theblackdahliamurder.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Theblackdahliamurder.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Unearth

Unearth is a metalcore band. They are not borderline thrash/post-thrash like Lamb of God, nor do they exemplify any deathcore or melodic death metal traits. Please, stop adding any genres such as "thrash metal" or "melodic death metal." Unearth is a band that is firmly rooted in the metalcore genre. Here is the Encyclopaedia Metallum link [1]

If you feel adding "Melodic metalcore" is more accurate, that is fine. --Ryouga 22:07, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Rather than have "Metalcore/Melodic metalcore" I've placed a separate link for 'Melodic' under melodic music. Page looks neater now. --Ryouga 22:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Genre: I wouldn't agree with groove or post-thrash, simply because that label is given to bands like Lamb of God, who are considerably heavier. Regards, --Ryouga 02:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot

The Lamb of God page, which SHOULD ALWAYS be metalcore/post-thrash w/ THREE cites is constantly reverted or changed and whatnot. God knows I can't be on here forever, so I appreciate your help on reverting the page. Your aid is very helpful to me, and if you can continue to watch the page along with me, I'm sure that eventually the ignorant user shall give up. Thanks again. --Ryouga 05:08, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Multiple genres in individual releases

I have removed the "multiple" references in the album infoboxes, since such links are not common and the variety seen in Dir en grey's stylistic development does not necessarily apply to individual releases as well. Also, the section you linked to still lacks in quality, as it pretty much just throws genre names at the reader, including pseudo-genres like Japanese rock. - Cyrus XIII 11:41, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Editors that don't provide an edit summary tend to look like vandals

I have noticed you commonly don't enter an edit summary as you didn't when you edited As I Lay Dying (band) (see this edit). This causes me problems. When I patrol for vandalism, I use the summary to make a preliminary decision on whether or not the post is a vandal edit or not. If the summary is present (or at least a section header, the part inside the /* */), I commonly decide the edit is legit and move on.

However, if no edit summary is available, I typically resort to loading the diff for the edit. This takes time. For that reason, if your edits are all valid, I ask that you provide edit summaries. For more on how to enter an edit summary, please read Help:Edit summary.

Incidentally, it is not just me that appreciate having edit summaries. When you omit your summary, you may be telling various bots that you are vandalizing pages. For this reason, please consider providing that summary. It is very important. You can enter that summary via the edit summary box on edit pages (as shown below).

The edit summary appears in black italics in the following places:

• Page history - list of changes to the page you edited
• User contributions - list of all your edits
• Watchlist* - list of recent changes to watched pages (logged-in users only)
• diff page - shows the difference between two edits
• Recent changes - list of all recent edits
• Wikipedia IRC channels - real time list of all edits
• Related changes - list of recent changes to pages linked to the page you edited
• List of new pages: shows the edit summary of the creation.

* Use the enhanced watchlist to see all recent changes in the watched pages, not just the last change in each page.

Rock music Wikiproject invitation

Hello WikiProject Metal member.
WikiProject Metal music is important in expanding encyclopedic coverage of the metal. It brings attention to the lesser-known bands, and significantly improves the quality of the famous ones. Five Featured articles and two formers is proof of that.
This is the stuff I wish to achieve with the somewhat recently resurrected WikiProject Rock music. I hope to also attract attention to rock music articles of all sorts, and hopefully change some to GA or FA status. I invite you to come join us, and embrace the links between metal and rock music in general.
Rock on.

Random Deg stuff

Hi, I was wondering whether the Dir en grey article would benefit from being put under the scope of one or two WikiProjects and since you're already a member of WP:Metal (which is one of those I consider likely candidates), I'd like your opinion on that. I guess WP:Japan and WP:Metal would be the most appropriate, WP:Rock music also comes to mind, but I really don't expect the band to drop the metal elements anytime soon and one genre is probably enough, projects-wise.

As your probably noticed, I've also added those samples, going with some but not all of your suggestions. Well, while I would put "Filth" on a best of album any day, I felt that bit from "Bottom of the Death Valley" would better represent the album as a whole. After all, Kisou had a strong emphasis on ballads as well. Same goes for the "Clever Sleazoid" sample, TMoaB is a loud record, to be sure, but it retains several melodic passages. By the way, how did you like the new album? Isn't it kinda weird how the first third of that All Music Guide review reads like the author spend some time reading Wikipedia? - Cyrus XIII 03:08, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Image:AILD-GroupPromo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AILD-GroupPromo.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria.

External link edits to Killswitch Engage

Hi AKnot :) Just letting you know that I removed your external link to a Killswitch Engage fansite, because fansites are generally frowned upon as external links in external link sections. If you would like some more information on what external links are accepted, etc, please see Wikipedia:External links.

You can always contact me should you ever need some help with something, or a query about something ;) Thanks, –Sebi ~ 04:21, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Fan clubs are sort of the same thing as fansites, they both provide speculative information about the band, and other information and details that you can really trust to be correct. External links are bascially ment to be just some online links that readers can view for more information on the subject. If readers wanted to join a fan club or a fansite, it is easy enough just to type in Killswitch engage fansite into Google. Anyway, I am glad you understand – many other users I have come across during my time here have not reacted in the civil way you have ;)

Thanks again, –Sebi ~ 05:04, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:CCVile.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:CCVile.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 20:58, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:TheSwordband1.jpg

AfD nomination of List of bass guitarists

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of bass guitarists. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of bass guitarists. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:03, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
