==Collins = Creep?== | |||
Obviously at this time of the day I have trouble with anything. I've just had a look at ], it needs some work, and it's gone on the list. What I meant about Collins being a creep was that after Gabriel, he took Genesis into major stadium rock-like audience interactions, such as the "Domino" intros, something Gabriel would never have done; and alongside that, he had his mawkish ("In The Air Tonight"), disco ("Easy Lover") and actor ("Buster") careers. No problem with talent as such, Collins was good at doing many things well (especially his drumming for Brand X), but Gabriel was, within Genesis, focussed on Genesis, whereas Collins wasn't, which to my analytical mind suggests that with Gabriel, abominations such as "Genesis" (the "Mama" album) and ] would not have happened. I haven't dug out ] for a while, since I have a backlog of bootlegs to sort out, but from what I've heard of Collins' interpretations of early material, they tend to be more overstated than Gabriel's IMO - which, I suppose, validates your "Willow Farm" comment. | |||
As regards the review of "Supper's Ready", I really hope to get to it soon, bt I have been grappling with the description in the lead of it as a "song"; clearly, it isn't a song, but several songs strung together, but the only terms I can come up with, based on classical musical terminology, don't seem quite right; "Suite" is reminiscent of Beethoven or Mozart, whereas "Song-cycle" sounds too much like Schubert. "Rock opera", it clearly isn't, because it lacks an obviously coherent storyline as per "Tommy" or "Quadrophenia". Any ideas on what to call this would be helpful. Meanwhile, a very Merry Christmas to you, I look forward to working on other stuff together; how did you know my name's Phil? regards. --''']''' (]) 01:24, 25 December 2007 (UTC) | |||
:Your point on "suite" with respect to ] is well-made, and although I haven't played it for a while, it always seemed to hang together better than ], despite its occasional rawness, because it didn't have the bridging interludes that punctuate Supper's Ready. I would argue against "medley", because to my mind that conjures up a misch-masch of existing tunes, and sadly I remember ] in the 1960s and stuff like "Stars on Stevie" in the 80s. I'll sleep on it. --''']''' (]) 01:44, 25 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

Collins = Creep?
Obviously at this time of the day I have trouble with anything. I've just had a look at Syd Barrett, it needs some work, and it's gone on the list. What I meant about Collins being a creep was that after Gabriel, he took Genesis into major stadium rock-like audience interactions, such as the "Domino" intros, something Gabriel would never have done; and alongside that, he had his mawkish ("In The Air Tonight"), disco ("Easy Lover") and actor ("Buster") careers. No problem with talent as such, Collins was good at doing many things well (especially his drumming for Brand X), but Gabriel was, within Genesis, focussed on Genesis, whereas Collins wasn't, which to my analytical mind suggests that with Gabriel, abominations such as "Genesis" (the "Mama" album) and Calling all Stations would not have happened. I haven't dug out Seconds Out for a while, since I have a backlog of bootlegs to sort out, but from what I've heard of Collins' interpretations of early material, they tend to be more overstated than Gabriel's IMO - which, I suppose, validates your "Willow Farm" comment. As regards the review of "Supper's Ready", I really hope to get to it soon, bt I have been grappling with the description in the lead of it as a "song"; clearly, it isn't a song, but several songs strung together, but the only terms I can come up with, based on classical musical terminology, don't seem quite right; "Suite" is reminiscent of Beethoven or Mozart, whereas "Song-cycle" sounds too much like Schubert. "Rock opera", it clearly isn't, because it lacks an obviously coherent storyline as per "Tommy" or "Quadrophenia". Any ideas on what to call this would be helpful. Meanwhile, a very Merry Christmas to you, I look forward to working on other stuff together; how did you know my name's Phil? regards. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 01:24, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- Your point on "suite" with respect to Atom Heart Mother is well-made, and although I haven't played it for a while, it always seemed to hang together better than Supper's Ready, despite its occasional rawness, because it didn't have the bridging interludes that punctuate Supper's Ready. I would argue against "medley", because to my mind that conjures up a misch-masch of existing tunes, and sadly I remember Winifred Atwell in the 1960s and stuff like "Stars on Stevie" in the 80s. I'll sleep on it. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 01:44, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- I am obviously going to have to dig out Seconds Out again. I'm not surprised that Collins gave a different interpretation, after all, they were largely Gabriel's ideas, and certainly his words. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 01:47, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, my friend. May this find you in good health, good spirits, good company, and good finances. If any of these be missing, may God see fit to restore you in good time. — $PЯINGεrαgђ 05:14 25 December, 2007 (UTC) |

- Bot is functioning fine. I added {{bots}} here. That page is a subpage of Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion so that is normal behavior. Report this to WP:ANI, read the bot's user page, or inform me next time. Malfunctioning bots aren't vandalism. --slakr 23:59, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
Logic takes a holiday
Care to fully explain the logic in blanking the Ullman page? I'm afraid I can see no justification for the move, nor have I ever seen anyone even propose such a measure before. •Jim62sch• 11:13, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
- People shouldn't be edit warring over anything, BLP articles are no different. However, the "orange box" or whatever you called it was for WP:COI not edit warring. There was no reason to change the article to a stub, sorry Will, but given the logic you used on that article we could probably zap 10% of our articles (BLP or not, it's really irrelevant) at any given time. •Jim62sch• 19:56, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Your AIV report
Thank you for making a report about Isgreatestman (talk · contribs · block log) on Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Misplaced Pages and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you! Sandstein (talk) 21:36, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
- Could you please explain how your numerous reversions of Iain Lee do not violate WP:3RR? Sandstein (talk) 21:44, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
- I see. In such cases, WP:RPP may be a better venue than WP:AIV, since blocking individual shared IPs is often ineffective. Sandstein (talk) 21:50, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Question
Was this the right IP? Several of us checked and there was no indication of personal info being posted. This is pretty serious, so I wanted to make sure we were looking at the right thing. Thanks for your report! Dreadstar † 19:22, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- I did see some stuff from a year and a half ago, but was there something more recent? The IP may have changed hands since then. Dreadstar † 19:24, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry; wrong IP after all - at the same time there was an IP repeatedly posting a phone-number in a different aritlce (I forget), so I must have got the wires crossed. Will (talk) 19:24, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- Cool! Thanks! Dreadstar † 19:25, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Flip3D with Video and Game.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Flip3D with Video and Game.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 22:03, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
reports
{from WP:AN) "There's really no need for a full-protection or an ANI post, and you should really know that, StuartDD - the list gets unsourced additions all the time."
- I will report people who vilate wikipedia rules if they ignore warnings. Yes the list gets unsourced titles a lot, but that's no reason to accept it. I acually agree with the protection - it means we won't have to deal with this sort of thing for a while. This is the second time in recent days that I've had to warn someone about this, and I'm getting a bit fed up. StuartDD contributions 22:38, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
- Note also that I did not request protection - it was done by an admin after RambutanKing reported me to 3RR for reverting his violating edits. StuartDD contributions 22:39, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
