IDM article

But I don't see any tags that say citation needed. Are you talking about parts of the article that no one tagged that need references? That's the only thing that I can think about that you're talking about. Let me know. Lighthead (talk) 20:21, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

I re reviewed your message. I think that that's what you're talking about, but please confirm. Thanks. Lighthead (talk) 20:31, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

You know what, that's an interesting thought, and that really makes sense. Yeah, because those citation tags really make an article look ugly and messy. Wow! I learned something new! Lighthead (talk) 20:03, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Well, to be perfectly honest, I see them both as ugly. But the one I see as worse(r) is the one we both definitely don't like. I mean I guess it all boils down to personal taste really, you know because they're both different styles of approaching Misplaced Pages. You probably see it the same way, I'm sure. Lighthead (talk) 19:41, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

But just as a side note, another reason I find the top banners as ugly is because when I'm flipping through articles, or when I add an article to my watchlist, its because its an article that I'm interested in. And to find out that the article has issues, gives me this, "oh, no!" feeling. So, it's not like if I find it ugly because I think its not necessary. Lighthead (talk) 19:47, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

You're preaching to the choir; I'm a creative type. I'm not logical at all. That's what my main problem is here on Misplaced Pages, that I'm not tech savvy. Lighthead (talk) 20:37, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

User subpage templates

You might know about this since you've been here awhile. Do you know where I could find a list of templates related to user subpages? I've asked more or less random people here on Misplaced Pages, but I've only gotten an indifferent response. You know how it is here on Misplaced Pages, you have to know somebody in order for them to actually do something for you. Well anyway, thanks. Hope to hear from you. Lighthead (talk) 20:35, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

You know, like banners (kind of like what we were talking about) at the top of the user subpage telling you what kind of page it is. Like for example whether its an essay, a sandbox; you know templates that I'm assuming you sometimes have to put at the top of those pages designating what that page is about. I pretty much just want to know if there is a list (somevere here on vikipedia) relating specifically to user subpage templates. All I could find were templates for user pages but not user subpages. If you still don't understand please let me know. Thanks. Lighthead (talk) 21:11, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

So, do you have to put those templates on top of those user subpages? I'm assuming from what you said that it's not a requirement. Let me know. Lighthead (talk) 21:23, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

But there are situations when you have to use them (as I understand); like for example, like I said, essays, and sandboxes. I want to create a page where I can store templates that I've created (when I say that I've created, take that with a grain of salt, ha ha..), and take them when I need them. I just don't want to do something, and get fired for doing it (..from the collective, as it were). Ha ha ha. Lighthead (talk) 21:52, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Here's the page. I just created it right now. Check it out: User:Lighthead/repository. Lighthead (talk) 22:36, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Non-Free rationale for File:L430xH465 jpg Schaeffer big-2eb70.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:L430xH465 jpg Schaeffer big-2eb70.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under Non-Free content criteria but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages is acceptable. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a Non-Free rationale.

If you have uploaded other Non-Free media, consider checking that you have specified the Non-Free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:29, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

"Dearth"

"Dearth": A scarcity or lack of something. That seems to be the opposite of what you were trying to say.   Will Beback  talk  23:16, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Spaced out (Space age .. / isn't actually NEW - at least not to someone.. whom (obviously) "knows"

ie: from the SPACEAGE discussion page itself: Taking it from the top:

Space music, also spelled spacemusic, is an umbrella term used to describe music that evokes a feeling of contemplative spaciousness. Space music can be found within a wide range of genres. It is particularly associated with ambient, new age, and electronic music. Some music from the western classical, world, Celtic, traditional, experimental and other idioms also falls within the definition of space music.

the definition provided here stems from one internet source, which is a commercial radio show - in fact it's possible that there may be a WP:UNDUE issue with the amount of emphasis placed upon this one source - however I note that none of the citations explicitly supports either point 1)Space music can be found within a wide range of genres or point 2)Some music from the western classical, world, Celtic, traditional, experimental and other idioms also falls within the definition of space music. Are there sources that demonstrably show both of these statements to be true? If not this is one of the first examples of synthesis that needs to be highlighted.

Try doing a google search.. (all together) on the 'following' (video, audio & / or music) KEYWORD TAGS:

Speedy deletion nomination of Adam Werritty

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

A tag has been placed on Adam Werritty, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article that does not provide sufficient context to identify its subject. Please see Misplaced Pages:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion 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 article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. CanadianLinuxUser (talk) 18:24, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Adam Werritty

The article Adam Werritty has been proposed for deletion because, under Misplaced Pages policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have 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}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.  Ronhjones  18:49, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Werritty

Check it yourself. 80%, not 890%. More than "little attention".

Discuss

You say "discuss on article talk do not revert", yet didn't do so yourself. I'm just about happy now, with the words "received a little attention at the end of the meeting" (I'd be happier with "received attention at the end of the meeting"). But I don't see any gain to me from getting your back up even more, so shall we call a truce now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.125.139.85 (talk) 14:15, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Advisor

re: widely known as an "adviser The may have been mistaken by others as an advisor, but his is not an advisor unless he is on govt payroll. Replace my comments.

Synthpop

This user helped promote Synthpop to good article status.

Nice one. SilkTork 21:12, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Trance

Please move back Trance (music) to Trance music. It appears to me that the majority of other pop genres use this format. Note that WP:DAB explicitly says, "If there are several possible choices for disambiguating with a class or context, use the same disambiguating phrase already commonly used for other topics within the same class and context, if any. " Thus, since we can choose between the two names, we need to choose the one consistent with other topics of the same type. Now, I'm willing to engage in a discussion about the issue, but page moves on highly read pages should not be done without consensus of other editors. The correct thing for you to do is to move the article title back, then start a Requested Move discussion and see what the consensus of other editors is.

Proposed deletion of Dubtronica

I have removed the prod tag you placed on Dubtronica, as per policy an article that has been discussed at AfD – as this one has been twice (links are on the talk page) – is permanently ineligible for deletion via prod. Compliance with policy is the only reason I did this; I have no comment on the merits of deletion. If you still wish to pursue deletion, feel free to open another AfD. I highly recommend going over WP:BEFORE as well as the arguments made in the previous AfDs before doing so. —KuyaBriBri 15:16, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Techno

What was inaccurate about my techno description? I wrote that techno has a 4/4 rhythm (which it has, and is sourced), that it is generally instrumental and percussive (also true and supported by sources in the text), and that it often abandons the structures of Western harmony, supported by a source in the main text. What was inaccurate about it? --&レア (talk) 10:40, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Techno, though, is by nature highly repetitive. Anyway, would "Techno music usually follows a 4/4 rhythm, and is often instrumental and repetitive in nature. Synthesizers and drum machines are commonly used in techno music, and, placing more of an emphasis on rhythm than melody, techno often abandons many of the harmonic structures of traditional Western music" or something similar work? I can take out the "repetitive", but it is sourced in the text, and, additionally, it is a matter of fact that techno music is really very repetitive, far more than lot of electronic music (in many cases, the track repeats a short riff over and over and over again right until the end, maybe with a few variations throughout the piece).--&レア (talk) 15:02, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Brostep

please stop putting brostep back. It is not backed up by the citations given and is misleading. I am not the only person on the discussion page who thinks this.Matsuiny2004 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:54, 28 December 2011 (UTC).

It says clearly in the article that 12th planet is the godfather of US style dubstep which we are calling brostep. Therefore he is the godfather of brostep. Bassnectar is called brostep and therefore can be considred a pioneerMatsuiny2004 (talk) 07:48, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

I read the first citation which in the brostep section which does mention brostep, but does not explicitly state or imply that skrillex is brostep so by your logic that should be deleted tooMatsuiny2004 (talk) 07:53, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

12th planet has that aggressive style with the distorted metal sounding bassMatsuiny2004 (talk) 07:59, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Techno intro

Well done for the brilliant intro. Informative, concise, and very accurate - bravo.

Thank you for taking the time to write it.

Best wishes,

"False BLP claims"

When you head a talk page section with the phrase False BLP claims it is probably a good idea firstly to identify the BLP claims that you are discussing and secondly to explain with some care why you believe them to be false (as opposed to, say, mistaken or disputed). Otherwise it might seem that you were indulging in mud-slinging. Cusop Dingle (talk) 20:21, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Nomination for deletion of Template:New Religious Movements, Cults, and Sects

Template:New Religious Movements, Cults, and Sects has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grrahnbahr (talk • contribs) 23:24, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Moving the template while the TfD is ongoing broke the link to the TfD discussion. I've attempted to restore with an anchor. Hopefully there won't be any underlying technical issues due to the intervening name change. In general, it's probably best not to rename something that may be subject to deletion while it's still being discussed.--Jeffro77 (talk) 09:25, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

OK, thanks for the note, that discussion looks done to me, with no consensus to delete being the outcome. I'm also not sure why this deletion discussion should supersede other matters: such as the page getting locked, and the fact that editors were discussing template renaming at the same time as someone proposed the deletion. Also, the deletion proposal now relates to the preceding template configuration, why not leave it listed as such, and copy the latest configuration to a new template called NRMs? Semitransgenic _talk. 10:41, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

No problem. I agree that it shouldn't be deleted. I just thought it better to keep the discussion together because the existing TfD template was modified to that effect. My main concern is that there may be underlying technical issues with TfD templates listing a deletion discussion for something that no longer exists.

I had actually thought the template had been locked prior to the TfD.--Jeffro77 (talk) 11:13, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Merging articles

I think you need to add the templates to one or other of the talk pages - but not both - to make sure the discussion takes place on one page, not two. There is guidance at WP:MERGE. Ghmyrtle (talk) 09:37, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 20

Hi. When you recently edited Phase music, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page William Duckworth (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

The paragraphs you deleted were sourced, relevant, and the result of consensus. If you have an issue with them, then please bring it up in talk rather than just deleting them. —Chowbok ☠ 15:26, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Dubstep and ketamine

Just curious, what was your gripe with this paragraph? It seems like this article could be used as a source even if the paragraph was written in a slightly misleading way (the ketamine connection didn't come along til a lot later). - filelakeshoe 11:50, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is invited to contribute, at least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 19:04, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

lol, you can't cite someone for edit warring when you're the one doing it and I'm the one repairing the damage, especially when I asked you to discuss it THREE times. I'm not the only person removing the link, you're the only person who keeps putting it back despite being given an explanation why it isn't acceptable. Keep right on truckin' with those accusations though. EDIT To clarify, removing the link in general, not this particular time. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 19:28, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Suggestion for Prometheus

I saw you've been editing the opening line of the Prometheus article, and I thought I'd suggest a change:

Standing by a river, a humanoid alien consumes a dark liquid as his ship departs the planet.
