Neko Case album chain

I was not aware that it was official Wiki policy to have separate chains for studio and live albums. Thanks for the insight. Mattbrundage (talk) 03:22, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of File:Jasoncure.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Jasoncure.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Shaneymike! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 903 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Jonathan Lachlan-Stewart - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Philip Pacaud - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
3. James Blight - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 09:56, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

It's been a while since I last looked at those. I'll try to improve them the best I can. If they fail to meet Wiki standards, I won't contest their deletion. Shaneymike (talk) 18:30, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Soulbender

A tag has been placed on Soulbender requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

Sweet Alice

Thats fine sir, I wasn't sure if a page was being added so thats why I undid it before, if I have time, may try and help expand it as well if it isn't taken down by someone else HrZ (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:25, 24 February 2010 (UTC).

discog chains

Just FYI I agree with you about the Alice in Chains chain. I tried to do the same at Anthrax but Libs and like 5 of his sock puppets argued against me. Luminifer (talk) 06:09, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

And yet they are allowing the New Order album chain to stand as is, even though Sap and Jar of Flies are arguably more significant than this 1981 – Factus 8 – 1982. I think we should have a discussion about this on the Alice in Chains talk page. Shaneymike (talk) 17:51, 28 March 2010 (UTC)== Alice in Chains album chain ==

I am not entirely sure I would agree that Jar of Flies belongs in the Alice in Chains studio album chain simply on the basis that it was the first EP to debut at number one on the Billboard 200. The New Order EP 1981 – Factus 8 – 1982 was significant for a very different reason: it signaled a change in artistic direction and acted as a bridge between the still Joy Division-like Movement LP and the New Order-as-we-know-it Power, Corruption & Lies. This is indicated in the body of the main band article.

One could reasonably argue that Jar of Flies signaled a change in artistic direction between Dirt and Alice in Chains. Plus Jar of Flies was the frist Alice in Chains release with Mike Inez on bass. Shaneymike (talk) 13:41, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism

When a person makes a series of consecutive edits like that you can just go back to the state before they started editing, you don't need to undo them one at a time. The procedure is to go to the IP's talk page and leave a warning, if they continue (or are already warned) report them at WP:AIV.

1. The edits of the user you are reporting must be considered vandalism.
2. The user must be given sufficient recent warnings to stop.
3. Unregistered users must be active now, and the warnings must be recent.

regards, Rich Farmbrough, 23:00, 24 May 2010 (UTC).

I semi-protected the article for a few days. Rich Farmbrough, 23:06, 24 May 2010 (UTC).

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:31, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Sweet Alice (demo)

I have nominated Sweet Alice (demo), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sweet Alice (demo). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

License tagging for File:Babacar promo.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Babacar promo.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 18:06, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I've added a tag as directed. Hope I chose the right one. Shaneymike (talk) 21:43, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:07, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Re: Bevan Davies/Madfly

No problem. Good to see another editor contributing to those articles. HrZ (talk) 10:26, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Madfly

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Madfly requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 19:52, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Comeswiththefallpromo.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Comeswiththefallpromo.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

WP:ORDER

Hi, Shaneymike. Thanks for your edit [1] to the Mike Starr (musician) article that added some external links. The external links section generally goes after the references section. The page WP:ORDER gives the basic order that is typically used for article sections in the "end matter" of the article. Cheers, Jason Quinn (talk) 00:10, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the insight, dude. Cheers. Shaneymike (talk) 01:51, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

FYI

Hey there, I noticed a few of the articles you have edited (that I also have on my watchlist) have included sources from Blogger, ReverbNation.com, Facebook, Myspace and YouTube among others. Social networking and blog sites (the first three) are not considered reliable source by wikipedia's standards (see WP:USERGENERATED), simply because anyone can make them (even if they are made by the band members themselves, it still fails due to it not being a source from a third, indepedent party). YouTube is also not considered reliable; see discussions here and here as well as WP:YOUTUBE.

I'm not going to remove the sources and content because I believe that a lot of it is true, just needs better sources. With anything Seattle related, I've found that Allmusic, Seattle Weekly, The Seattle Times, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, The Stranger and The Daily of the University of Washington to be quite usefull as sources. Also search for newspapers and magazines specific to the area a band formed (Los Angeles Times, New York Post, Tucson Weekly, etc). Also music sites such as Rolling Stone, Pitchfork Media, Billboard, MTV, VH1, Blabbermouth.net, Metal Hammer and Rock Sound can be usefull as well. Anyway, please take care with sourcing in the future though. Regards. HrZ (talk) 16:37, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

You have already been told this? Feel like a bit of a dick now! The closest thing to what you are after in terms of having your work looked at is perhaps the peer review, though I'm not entirely sure. Actually, one way of doing it is to work on the article in your own subpage, like I've done here, then request for feedback at WP:FEED. I'm happy to help also, going to see if I can find anymore sources for Alice N' Chains and My Sister's Machine at some point. HrZ (talk) 14:40, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
