Buckethead task force
Sure! :D FallenWings47 (talk) 19:25, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- Fine! Let's see who else is interested! [1] --HexaChord (talk) 01:43, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- The page is looking sweet! FallenWings47 (talk) 15:47, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
I'm in dude. One thing I want to do with the page is to add the big equipment part back. I wrote it (well it was small back then) about I year ago and me and the admins have been in a constant fight weather to keep it or not because it has no sources. Sooooo I'll put the thing back and lets try to find some sources. Just to warn you there was one source that was put, but it was from a page that basically copied the Buckethead article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TimmyTermite (talk • contribs) 20:36, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
- Nice! See the task force's talk page for a discussion about this list. Maybe we can find a solution. --Say Headcheese!--hexaChord2 21:53, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Hey man, I'd be glad to join the Task Force. I'm a big Buckethead fan, and I hate when articles about him are inaccurate. Also, I have a picture I took at a Buckethead concert that you might be able to use on the main page. It's a little out of focus, but give me a break, it was really dark and everyone around me was taller than me XD. Here's the link: http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/7079/buckethead72508gooduf1.jpg Thanks for the offer, and I accept! Mr. Brawl (talk) 19:35, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Subpage created. Please be sure to tag the subpage for deletion when you are done with it. And be very sure that no one makes any inbound links to the page while it's still in your user-space.
Note: This page was originally created with the pagemove warnings at the top. This was pretty clearly inappropriate since that page had never been moved at all.

re: the message you left on my former IP talk page
I tend to watch all music related projects without "clanning up" officially to them all. I will watch your task force pages and try and support when I can. I have over 6000 pages in my watchlist including just about every Buckethead related article. So tracking how the task force is doing shouldn't be hard. It will be nice to see a task force enforce WP:V and WP:NPOV on the bHead page and also make sure all the album articles follow the WP:ALBUM rules too. The Real Libs-speak politely 23:24, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- PS, Your task force talk page needs a talk page header and a Guitarist Project template. The Real Libs-speak politely 23:29, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- Better? --hexaChord2 23:48, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- Well structured task force layout. I am primarily a vandal hunter. I have double checked that all Buckethead related paged are on my watchlist. I have many administrator friends who help me keep Wiki positive and encyclopedic. I will make sure that the work of the Buckethead task force won't be undone by trolls, linkspammers, soapboxers, pov pushers and vandals. If you have any trouble with editors who ignore wikipedia policy with Buckethead related pages and... do not adhere to discussion/consensus when it comes to these articles, let me know and I will take care of them. The Real Libs-speak politely 00:32, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, thx. Lots of work and only few interested people. We'll see what the future brins. --hexaChord2 03:45, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

RE:
Just a friendly reminder, when linking to pages that are frequently updated (such as AIV) link to the actual edit and not the page in general.
For example, when talking about BJbot's edit to your page instead of saying User talk:HexaChord i would say this edit.
And i might join the Buckethead taskforce in a couple of days after i'm done working on an article i'm trying to get up to GA standards. - -' The Spook (TALK) (Share the Love with Barnstars) 22:37, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
- If it's Chinese Democracy you are working on, that's BH related and we could do it under the Task Force banner. I don't see the project too narrow, quite the contrary. But do as you wish, you're always welcome. And, yeah, I will remind your note in the future. Didn't think this would vanish that fast though. --Say Headcheese!--hexaChord2 22:44, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Buckethead to do stuff
hi, sorry about the picture thing but this is about other stuff. we have added all the albums of Buckethead (solo career) and even i did super diorama theater (later was erased) but i think we are missing something, i mean the song he has released on his web page shouldnt they suposed to be mentioned both songs "Game of Death" and "I Like it Raw", ill try make them a page to each and i woul really apreciate if you can somehow relate them to Buckethead bio. Thanks--Pachon (talk) 19:00, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
- About the picture: That was just a joke! *lol* You may built this songs as a sub-page on the task force space. Super Diorama is there, too. [2] So we can make it a real good article first, before releasing it to the world. ;-) If you need any help you also can use the task force page or the talk page there [3] for your requests. --Say Headcheese!--hexaChord2 19:04, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

death cube k/buckethead - monolith
you seem to be the resident buckethead expert, could you tell me if its true what the wiki article says, that the five monolith albums are meant to be listened to at once, and they sync up?
thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Komodo123 (talk • contribs) 17:47, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
- I think it is meant like this and did ask Buckethead's friend Travis Dickerson about it. You can read his answer in the article. So there won't be an official "Yes" or "No". But IMHO the title alone tells... --Say Headcheese!--hexaChord2 20:20, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

"unconstructive"
I'd appreciate if you could at least give me a "constructive" reason as to why my edit was undone, instead of a cut&paste message claiming my edit was "unconstructive". Thanks.
--AlbinoSlug (talk) 15:59, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hi! Please have a look on the article's history first. You also may notice that most of your add is already there a few lines before. As to the URL:
- 1. You have to be logged in to access the content so there might be better links than this one.
- 2. I don't know if it's a good idea to link to a download page at all. It still is copyrighted material and I don't know any official statement about this case. If you've got a link to statements by Buckethead's management and/or the label, fine.
- 3. I just don't like external links within the article. There's a special section for them on the bottom of the page.----Merry Headcheese!-hexaChord2 16:03, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
--
- 1. Logged in on the site to download the album? I never had to log in to download it. I don't think you'd find a better link than direct links to mp3s & FLACS.
- 2. Perhaps you're right about the copyright issue, but we're speaking about an obscure(and long oop) album, by an obscure artist, on an obscure(and possibly now obsolete) record label. Also, as far as I was aware, Bucket himself gave his blessing for this album to be shared.
- 3. Never realised wiki had such strict policies about such trivial things as that.
Yes, I checked the history, that's exactly why I re-added the info. I couldn't understand why it was removed in the first place(seemingly removed by someone who doesn't have a clue who or what a Buckethead is). I wasn't the person who originally added the link by the way, I just thought it shouldn't have been removed.
Also, the main reason I re-added the url was to expose more people to his music for free and legally. Instead of them going searching "other sources"(ahem) for a download and also coming across a couple dozen of his other albums for download. You see where I'm coming from there?
Thanks for explaining your reasons, I hope you can understand my reasons for the edit.
-- AlbinoSlug (talk) 16:29, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
- Is it only the videos you have to be logged in to download? I didn't have a look recently. Of course our man is somewhat "obscure" but Wikipedia is not. I know the rumour that Buckethead or Travis gave green light but never saw it myself. If I don't remove it, other people will do, so this makes no difference at all. I don't know the exact policy about the third point but remember one of German WP. That's why I wrote "I don't like". I appreciate your contributions and hope you'll join the taskforce. ----Merry Headcheese!-hexaChord2 16:40, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it must only be for the videos. I see where you're coming from, it's just a shame it has to be that way...
I might look into joining your taskforce at some point, it seems like quite a worthwhile cause ;)
-- AlbinoSlug (talk) 17:10, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
- It's not my taskforce, I only started it. See, if there's no statement we might get one. I also asked Travis about DCK's Monolith and put the answer into the article. Why not do the same for NTT? ----Merry Headcheese!-hexaChord2 23:05, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
Buckethead
Great to be on board! I can't believe I hadn't heard of him before, he seems godlike! Damn, what have I been missing? Zazaban (talk) 09:22, 2 January 2009 (UTC) P.S. Can you recommend what albums to get first?
- A quick look on your userpage tells me you like about all kinds of music. Well, if you haven't heard Chinese Democracy yet, that would be the commercial start point. The extreme opposite would be Pieces. His latest solo releases are almost exclusively available here.
- with vocals: Profanation (Preparation for a Coming Darkness), Enter the Chicken and the Deli Creeps
- Jazz(rock)/Fusion: Octave of the Holy Innocents, all Thanatopsis, The Dragons of Eden, Arc of the Testimony (somewhat from calm to hard)
- straight instrumental metal: Albino Slug, Crime Slunk Scene, Pepper's Ghost, Decoding the Tomb of Bansheebot
- if you like radio plays: Bucketheadland, Bucketheadland 2, Giant Robot
- wierd stuff: Bolt on Neck, Kevin's Noodle House
- acoustic and calm: Colma, Electric Tears

Buckethead
Hi, Hexachord! Thank you for your kind comments. Actually, I have seen some video of Buckethead, and I must confess, he is so bizarre (and so good) that I was absolutely entranced. I can understand why he would have some fanatical devotees; talent like that is pretty rare. Anyway, thanks again, and I will look for more performances by this guy. Take care!

Hi - a stub template or category which you created has been nominated for deletion or renaming at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub type, which was not proposed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, does not meet the standard requirements for a stub type, either through being incorrectly named, ambiguously scoped, or through failure to meet standards relating to the current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub.

Buckethead albums...
Hey Hexa I bought the Buckethead discography in a garage sale, but it didn't include Albino Slug and some of his side-projects. Do they sell his CD's in stores? I heard you can only buy it through Travis Dickerson's site (http://www.tdrsmusic.com/) and that would make sense why I couldn't find them in any record store. Then again, I'm from Australia...
Bucket (talk) 07:24, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
- Getting his CDs can be painful, I know. Since I'm German I feel with you. Best you can do is to have a regular look on different platforms like eBay, Discogs, cdandlp.com etc. Albino Slug is only available on TDRS Music at the moment - maybe you'll get a very steep shot at eBay. But forget about these perverted sellers who seem to throw dices - with prices ranging from 20 to 50 bucks for the very same CD, or 100 bucks for a not that rare item.
- But since you have the Buckethead awards you might get some cheap ones there. ;-) --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 07:46, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
Haha thanks. I'll check eBay. Did you get all yours at a time?

Edit dispute
See my edit Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, Jeepday (talk) 00:31, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

- The editor is moving names to a different order[4], and you are reverting it. That is an edit dispute. Take it some place else. Jeepday (talk) 00:51, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- This different order is "current member" and "former member", which is ridiculous, as Brain spoke this week of an upcoming tour this summer. [5] (cited on the talkpage for two days now!) The IP is also removing content [6] which is there to prevent unsourced changes. This is clearly vandalism.--Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 00:56, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Bryan Mantia
Hello,
I've just removed Bryan Mantia from the list of (current) GNR band members on the main page of Gnr. I've seen that you have sent me a message in which you ask me not to do so. If you take a close look at any Gnr wikipedia page which gives information about the current bandmembers you can see that Bryan Mantia is no longer a current band menber. This is confirmed on the talk page of GNR, on many other websites, and if you take a look at the timeline of bandmembers on the wikipedia page of GNR bandmembers you can also see this.
So that is why I have removed hum from the list, and as you can see I have got enough reason to do so. Therefore we are forced to conclude that I have taken Bryan Mantia of the list with plenty of good reasons so I will remove him now once again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackjoker7 (talk • contribs) 02:17, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey Hey
I just saw a bit of your conversation about needing help writing the articles, I didn't realize that you were German! I have no knowledge of German language myself, but I like to think that I'm pretty good with a pen. My main problem, especially when it comes to stuff like Buckethead and That 1 Guy, is that obviously sources are scant. I'm still in the process of moving, pretty busy, and no easy access to all of the albums, but once I get set back up I'll get some stuff done. If you want, I can work with you on some articles too though, if you have the information and the sources, I can work on writing some of the actual Buckethead articles. -D (talk) 22:45, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hi! I set up this site, including lots of links we can use for citation or research. But I'd prefer direct co-op on articles. If you wanna do something just give me a shout or write something on the article's talkpage or of course at WT:BH. We also have official article collabs, currently Ramy Antoun and of course Buckethead himself. If you know an article to collab on, just tell me and I'll add it to the next newsletter - or add it yourself here. My wish would be That 1 Guy - a real mess.--Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 23:01, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Nice, that's an excellent set of links. Too bad so much of it is the same vague blurbs over and over, but I'll see if I can't find legit information that deserves to be on the page, and I'll drop you a line about specific articles when I get some more free time. -D (talk) 23:07, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
- Did you know that the most active editors on Buckethead related articles are from Chile (Pachon), Sweden (Taco) and Germany (me)? It would be highly appreciated if at least one native speaker would join this rather small club. ;-) Well, do your work first and then we'll see what we can improve. I'll further set up the project sites and hopefully win some new members. Compared to some other projects we have a lot of members, but we need some additional ones that are really active.--Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 23:21, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, it's hard for me to be active because of my work schedule and things going on around here, but that's where back up on the info and links would make things easier for me. It doesn't surprise me that Buckethead has fans internationally, but I'm surprised there's not more native English speakers fans editing. -D (talk) 23:27, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Template:Buckethead
The purpose of templates is to navigate around articles in a subject area. Linking to a disambiguation page fails that completly when there is no article. So yes, the red link is not only better it is correct. Vegaswikian (talk) 06:16, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Ey friend
Hi,
I am obviously new here, so Thank you for your "smoothing" of my little edit in "Giant Robot" I'll learn from that an hopefully move forward! I also saw that you nuked my "Peppers Ghost" edit. That's ok, I wonder if you can let me know why you didn't like it. But before I devote LOTS of time to this idea I have, I hope to get your opinion. I want to edit all of the studio albums first; I hope to make them just like the giant robot article. When I first started listening to Bucket, I had Monsters and bought in order after that- Bucketheadland 2, Colma and Pop-overide. I also saw him in concert and then became hooked. Being a new fan at the time, and looking down the barrel of a HUGE list music, and little descriptions' about them, I chose a few more. I ordered, by chance, Bermuda, Cyborg Slunks, and Kalideio scalp, and Island of lost minds. I was dissapointed, at the time of corse. CD after CD of no rhythms (Except for the electronic Bermuda album), robot sounds and disjointed music, It wasn't what I was looking for. I didn't put them in my itunes. I was almost Quit buckethead. But I kept faith and years later, became what I think you may understand as more of a Buckethead aficionado. I think kalideoscalp, for example, is a "for advanced buckethead fans" or maybe just the Avant-garde lover. Had I known that Pepper's Ghost or Albino slug, Melts you face off, I might have never lost faith. SO, what do you think? Should I start or do you think it violates the Wiki Culture?
Fellow Bucket-bot,
.:Charlie:. Bingewedge (talk) 14:14, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hi there! Your edit on Pepper was a bit too POV (see WP:POV), if you find some magazine articles or similiar sources stating such things you can include it of course but must cite the source. If it's only your opinion or synthesis (see WP:OR), leave it out please. ;-) You also might have a look on our "Manual of Style" (see WP:BHMOS) or the project's space in general (see: WP:BH).
- But don't think too much about rules and everything, just make your edits - but don't be surprised if they're reverted or altered soo after - that's Wikipedia. If you're not sure about an edit you wanna do, layit out first on the article's talkpage. This might prevent some anger. Have fun! --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 14:15, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Articles in need...
HexaChord, I'm not sure I'm entirely comfortable with this notification. I'm aware that it's a notification out to a taskforce and as such isn't a push to vote in either direction but next time, would you consider something like "the following Buckethead articles are currently nominated for deletion" with links to the articles and not directly to the AFDs. I think it would impress on others that the taskforce is interested in the content on the articles and not just on the deletion discussion. I'm not making any accusations or disagreements, but something just bothers me a bit. Thanks. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:58, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
- You're probably right. It was easier since it originally was ten articles in only two discussions. Additionally, I don't think it's too common to nominate all songs of a certain artist at one time. Shamed be he who thinks evil of it... --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 06:06, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

- We keep them under the redirect and reference them in a null edit summary to the retained article. Are there any I need to undelete under a redirect? MBisanz talk 00:40, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- "Binge and Grab" and "Spokes for the Wheel of Torment" are all I think. --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 00:42, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- Done MBisanz talk 00:51, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks. What about the half-sentence? --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 00:52, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- I'm confused, which "half sentence"? MBisanz talk 02:05, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- "but it can be achieved other ways such as having the article assessed by a wikiproject at a useful level (B or GA class, etc)"--Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 02:09, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- Ahh, I meant that proving an article should be kept can be done in other ways than AFD, such as by having it assessed at a high value level by a wikiproject. MBisanz talk 02:11, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- It would've made no diff in this case since the nominator clearly wanted to annoy WP:BH by nominating all songs. By sorting, categorizing and assessing them in January/February I made it possible to attack them, 'cause most of them were around for years - under cover. Maybe this explains my anger a bit. --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 02:40, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

- He's right, I'm wrong, I just don't do enough hist-merges to know the rules. It is up to you to decide what to AFD, AFDing one as a test case to prove something might be useful in later discussions, but it can be achieved other ways such as having the article assessed by a wikiproject at a useful level (B or GA class, etc).

Aye, it is troubling when our work is deleted. Only thing to do it keep researching and keep writing. Best. MBisanz talk 09:27, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
I've seen you around for a while now. I meant noting that other articles should be nominated for deletion under that basis is not a great argument, and I think you know it. I actually would agree with you to nominate those articles for deletion and may even do so after the nomination is complete. I'm not kidding about that. I just meant, don't be discouraged about that article and go into arguments that people will immediately shoot down. You can do better than that. At the same time, why did you feel the need to redirect the article to Giant Robot (album)? At least let it go through the full AFD. There have been a few closings where the admin has completely ignored the votes and decided something different. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 03:38, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- If you would like, I'll strike that out. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 03:41, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- I won't nominate anything because I'm not that kind of asshole. Stubs are needed to bring fresh blood into WikiProjects (see discussion above). Plus, the outcome is quite clear anyway: Avant-garde act = delete, Beatles/Pink Floyd = keep - people vote without even looking at the nominated articles (what was quite a shock for me I have to admit). Why then wait for the closing? Sorry, no. --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 03:58, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Histmerge requests
- When putting a db-histmerge tag in a page, please put it at the beginning of the page so it can be found easily. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:05, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks. --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 23:06, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
- See the last paragraph of section Wikipedia:How to fix cut-and-paste moves#A troublesome case about why I had to reject all your histmerge requests. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:24, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
- The funny thing is, other admins do it! Or: How can we keep the original history and authors of the content? --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 23:28, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
reverted your redirect
I reverted your redirection of Three Fingers Perhaps you assumed MBisantz had closed, but he relisted. I do not think it facilitates good discussion to redirect an article being discussed at afd. Wait a few days until the discussion is closed.DGG (talk) 03:17, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
- I redirected all five Buckethead songs still under discussion, since I was about the only one who voted for keeping them. Discussion is over anyway, it's just a matter of hours. --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 03:20, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
- Still not a good idea--I see i am not the only one to notice. What you need to do is say at the afd that you now would prefer a merge, and let someone close. Otherwise it just adds confusion.DGG (talk) 03:29, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
- I will do so when User:Duffbeerforme is on his next raid. --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 03:37, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Dragon Ball
I usually get stuff that's hard to find on eBay (soundtracks included). You could try there and Amazon.com, or maybe ask my pal Sarujo. He knows more about the Dragon Ball OSTs than I. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 12:32, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the welcome!
Thanks for the welcome! I didn't realize Travis had mispelled cord himself, lol. Well I joined the buckethead taskforce! Hopefully I'll be of some use! --Alex Kolsov (talk) 03:04, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
GOD DAMN HACKERS
So, I guess you'd know by now that buckethead.tk has been hacked and the boards are over?
Where's the fanpage moving to now??
