Re Hard Rock templates
editHi Chris, I think that would be a great idea, as this is my first ever wikiproject. Thanks. DavidJJJ 06:48, 8 July 2006 (UTC) We should also do that. DavidJJJ 17:20, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Schweisser
editOn 01-July, you tagged Schweisser as a copyright violation. However, you had already removed the copyrighted text that had been added by a previous poster. Since you removed the copyrighted material, that resolved the problem and you didn't need to apply the copyvio tag. I have untagged it. If you have questions, please let me know. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 02:52, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Featured Picture Candidate

Black concert T-Shirt
editHello - The sentence you removed from Black concert T-Shirt may have been dubious, but it provided a reason why the t-shirts are typically black in color. Perhaps we can come up with a different way to explain the color choice? --Mattarata 16:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Moth FPC
editNo reason, I was just interrupted before I could get to adding all the new FPs to the various lists, and I wasn't able to get back to the computer until now. I'll finish everything off tomorow, but of course your welcome to do it yourself if you'd like too... :) Raven4x4x 14:13, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Hard rock templates
editHi Chris, I made this template. {{Hard Rock}}
This user is a participant in WikiProject Hard Rock. |
Re: Rainbow not progressive metal
editAll you need to do to figure that out is listen to them. The only reason people don't group them into the genre is because it didn't have an official name until the mid-eighties. However, Rainbow's blend of classical stylings into the realm of heavy metal is the obvious precurser to the "official" prog metal scene.

Request for comments concerning gender bias
editI would like to request comments and suggestions for the following situation in Talk:List_of_major_opera_composers#Not_so_fast.__There_is_obvious_POV_gender_bias_here . This is a very long, complicated situation involving whether women should be included on this list of Opera composers. As a male musician who has done quite alot of research on women in music, I firmly believe that a representative sample should be on the list (I'm not suggesting 50/50 or even 30/70, just two or three representative women). When I first noticed this article, it was completely unsourced, and the "important composers" were chosen by a collegial system ("I like that." "I don't like that") without any mention of sources. I marked the article NPOV and Unsourced. The article quickly became sourced, but I continued to bring up the issue of gender bias and brought three sources to the discussion after consulting the International Alliance of Women in Music [[1]], all of which were dismissed because they only contained works by women. However, when the list was finally completed (I was asked not to participate, as I was considered to be have a POV agenda towards women and living composers), six of the ten lists used only contained the names of men. The other four only contained one woman (Judith Weir). If lists of only women composers are unacceptable, why are lists of only men composers acceptable? And was are sources which could prove the importance of women in music dismissed as having a POV agenda.
A colleague who is a teacher of Women's studies at an American University has suggested that this is a textbook case of "canon forming" or the creation of hierarchies using preconceived notions. The process involves making a hypothesis using the notions that one already has, such as "Important operas are only composed by dead, White, European males", using the sources already utilised for making the hypothesis for proving the statement and then dismissing contradictary sources or discrediting individuals who make statements which oppose the primary hypothesis.
I am certainly not asking anyone to get directly involved here, as this is already become quite violent and an RfA is currently underway. I would however appreciate any ideas concerning how to confront this sort of gender bias, any useful sources and other ideas, as well as general comments. Thank you Jean-Thierry Boisseau 20:53, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
epic metal
editthe list seems to be a mixture of bands of different subgenres... why not just go ahead and AFD it? Spearhead 07:21, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Reply
editI think the newer format works very well, it lists bands who encyclopediacly fall into the specific heavy metal genre; the subgenre bands each have their own lists on Wikipedia that they belong on instead.
As a "term".. the word "metal" is used by some broadly, but that doesn't have anything to do with what heavy metal as a specific "music genre" which is described as in its article.
The older version just doesn't work.. I mean, who is going to read that? Its just a mish mash of bands lumped together which have little to no relation to each other, nu-metal bands put in the same list as black metal bands, mixed together etc with no order at all... it was no use to anyone at all...
In the new format if people are looking to read about the original heavy metal.. its right there; or if they want to see a list of specific subgenre styles they're interested in, like thrash metal for example.. they scroll down and can easily find the link, and for people who don't know which bands fall into which subgenre, it gives them three notable examples of each.
There will always be fans who add bands like Cradle of Filth on the wrong list regardless.... some try to add them to the list of gothic rock bands from time to time, when they don't belong there either...
I suppose if somebody created a list for Symphonic metal acts then Cradle of Filth may fit onto that one. Problem solved. - Deathrocker 16:46, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Expansion of Wikiproject Hard Rock
editDear WikiProject Hard Rock members,
This is a notice about the proposed expansion of the WikiProject, so the scope covers rock music in general, changing it from "WikiProject Hard Rock" to "Wikiproject Rock music". Like I pointed out to the creator, DavidJJJ, what falls under the scope of "hard rock" may come into dispute, and there is no existing WikiProject for rock in general, only WikiProject Alternative music and WikiProject Punk music come somewhat close. This expansion will hopefully in theory be a guide/directory, and bring much needed attention to articles of this genre. DavidJJJ has already given kudos to the idea, and it is encouraged that you express your thoughts and concerns on the WikiProject's talk page before anything goes forward. We hope start the transition soon. Until then, please, make your voice heard! Cheers. -- Reaper X 22:32, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Great image, IronChris
editWell done. Just noticed User:Kylu's comment about the Macroglossum stellatarum being the featured pic for 27 Sep 06. I have taken the liberty of adorning the Lepidoptera project page with it. AshLin 16:20, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Your image Image:IC Polistes gallicus.JPG
editHi Chris. Well, I like the photo and you have done well to capture it, but I don't think it would pass as a featured picture mainly because the depth of field (what is in focus) is so small. Half of the wasp is out of focus and for an encyclopedic image, it really needs to be completely in focus. Keep trying though. :-) Next time (if light permits it), try stopping down the aperture more - that way you'll get greater depth of field. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 11:55, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
WikiProject Rock music
editWell, after nearly no response, the expansion of WikiProject Hard Rock has gone ahead. We are now officially known as WikiProject Rock music! We are still in dire need of your participation, to add articles that fall within the scope of rock music, to invite users to join the WikiProject, and to get this show on the road. Be sure to drop by and see the new changes. Feel free to add {{User Wikiproject Rock music}} to your userpage.
I hope to see you around eh? Cheers. -- Reaper X 01:20, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

multi-page article gradings
edithere's what kingboyk said about the problem that although you created /1, /2 etc. pages in the article grading system, the bot wrote everything into the main page: Mathbot creates subpages /1 /2 etc when there are a certain number of articles. If the articles fit comfortably onto one page the bot makes just one page. cheers --Sarefo 01:36, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Help
editHi, wonder if you could check template:LepidopteraTalk and see why the talk page comments get into the tag box if the ratings are added and why it sits at the bottom of a talk page when the ratings are not added. thanks in advance Shyamal 05:15, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot. Shyamal 01:34, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
I appreciate your assistance with this article. I spent a good hour scouring and compiling references which I added here Talk:Black_concert_T-shirt. Hopefully this can be incorporated into the article in some way or at the very least used to show that this article can stand on its own seperately from T-shirt or Concert T-shirt. Maybe I can add a section that says "References to the Black concert T-shirt in news and media"? (even though i know wikipedia is not a collection of links, and i generally dislike articles like that)--Mattarata 00:58, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Arthropod assessment categories
editI think I may have got slightly confused about the different categories involved, but I'm fairly sure that there was one too many. According to the instructions at {{ArthropodTalk}}, the category for unassessed-importance articles is Category:Unassessed-importance Arthropods articles. This also agrees with the category linked to in the summary table. However, until this morning, the template was actually placing all unassessed articles in Category:Unknown-importance Arthropods articles. I have changed the template to fill the former category, but that seems to leave the latter with no purpose (no pages link to it, and it is empty). Have I misunderstood, or is Category:Unknown-importance Arthropods articles now redundant? I can delete it if it is, but I keep getting confused every time I try to work out what's going on. The link to the category in the table, for instance, is below the links to stub-quality and start-quality articles, suggesting it's a quality-based, not importance-based category. If I've made a mistake, please tell me and I'll revert it. --Stemonitis 12:57, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- One of my fears has been realised: the table is entirely re-created by MathBot daily, over-writing the changes you made. It looks like we might have to contact the bot's owner; the bot clearly mixes by-quality and by-importance categories in the same column, which must be wrong, mustn't it? Curiously, the same problem doesn't affect other similar tables, so perhaps it is something we could fix, although I would prefer to have access to the importance categories as well as the quality categories. If only I understood how the whole set-up works, I might be able to suggest something, but I really haven't got a clue! --Stemonitis 07:56, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Sorry
editThis is a little late in coming, but I'd like to apologize for "fixing" those redirects you mentioned on my talk page on 12/6/06. I've since glanced at WP:REDIRECT, and it appears that I was indeed completely misguided and that you were quite right to bring it to my attention. It seems I don't know anything you don't. :) All the best to you, 24.11.177.133 00:08, 13 December 2006 (UTC).
comments bug in template
edithi,
i just realized there's a bug in the streamlined Template:WPSpiders, probably the same that Shyamal mentioned a month ago. i tried to implement the changes you did to LepidopteraTalk, but could not get it to work. could you tell me what's the problem? thanks a lot :) --Sarefo 01:20, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
- happy 2007 to you too :) here's a page where i noticed the bug (yep, it's still there): Talk:Tarantula. The "Length" section is from the comments, the others are from the talk page. good luck ;) cheers --Sarefo 05:36, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Black Metal
editI need to respectfully disagree with the comments you made on the black metal page. Nowhere did I state or even imply that all black metal bands condone church burning. And why did you put that hateful and antireligious attitudes are only found in some black metal subgenres? I don't even know what you mean by this - those are universal themes in black metal.

Hi. I picked your name from the list of Wikipedia:WikiProject Arthropods participants as somebody who might be able to help. An article on Rock mites has been created, but there are no references provided, and I've not been able to find any through my own searches. Three separate new edittors have contributed to the article, without editting any other articles. My "hoax alert light" is flashing, so I thought I'd ask for help from somebody with more subject matter knowledge to take a look. Regards. -- Whpq 20:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Rock music Wikiproject invitation
editHello 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.

editSorry about that I was reverting the "Third" claim as you did. I had gone to the Official Manowar page to confirm, that's what my comment was about that they do claim to be the loudest. I was actually trying to do the same thing as you, sorry for the confusion. -- Borameer ™ 21:54, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
Regarding phoresy -- Millipedes and pseudoscorpions on birds? Is that for real? If you get a chance, it'd be awesome if you could add a reference for that to the article, it sounds interesting. Thanks! -Madeleine 03:25, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

The article Olaf Hayer has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. jlwoodwa (talk) 21:25, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
