The Bends

While I figure it took you a bit of time to put together that composite Banshees pic (which is pretty good, by the way), I have to say it's a shame that Big-Hair Siouxsie isn't in there. I know we have a licensed/free picture of her in all her goth-y glory. WesleyDodds (talk) 23:23, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Classic rock topic of the day: the Rolling Stones, while good, are vastly overrated, and do no belong in a list of the top twenty rock bands of all time. I love the Beatles and can listen to The Who and Kinks for quite a bit, but the Stones are the weakest of the top four British Invasion bands. WesleyDodds (talk) 21:55, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I have the NME "Single of the Week" review for that song. Still, no matter how overrated they are or how badly they might behave, it is scientific fact that Keith Richards is pretty damn cool. WesleyDodds (talk) 22:05, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

It makes sense in a historical context. If you were a stoner into heavy music in 1971, all three would have equal standing. But taking into account nearly 40 years since then, well, Deep Purple do come up a bit short (Funny enough, I'm listening to "Immigrant Song" right now). WesleyDodds (talk) 22:28, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I find it amusing how often you keep changing your future Blur-related projects. But given it's always a Blur article, you must really like the band. WesleyDodds (talk) 08:07, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Are you familiar with the great forgotten Blur single? WesleyDodds (talk) 08:35, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Check out the Allmusic review of that compilation, where the reviewer is flabbergasted that neither "Popscene" nor anything from Modern Life Is Rubbish aside from "For Tomorrow" is included. WesleyDodds (talk) 08:53, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

When going through my 2001 Nirvana-themed Guitar World issue to cite the articles, I realized there was also a feature article about the making of Who's Next. WesleyDodds (talk) 21:51, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Looks like the tracklist template is making a comeback. WesleyDodds (talk) 02:18, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I just removed it from the articles I'm the primary editor at. I don't need a template to format a tracklisting (I've also weaned myself off of cite web, but I continue to use it at articles I've utilized it at previously for consistency's sake). WesleyDodds (talk) 02:24, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Glancing at Template talk:Tracklist, there seems to be general agreement not to use it if you don't need it, so you can probably just remove it from articles if you like. WesleyDodds (talk) 02:27, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Regardless of its usefulness, it's pretty clear you don't need it for Pixies albums, which at most had two songwriters to list. WesleyDodds (talk) 02:33, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I just have to say, I love the way NIN albums list credits. "Trent Reznor IS Nine Inch Nails". You're damn right, motherf**kers. WesleyDodds (talk) 02:46, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Am trying to formulate a user talk page response, but I think I'll wait and see what tomorrow brings. One of the things that strikes me is that the template would be best for helping unexperienced users create tracklistings for new articles, but he's implementing it in well-established articles that are already fully developed by experienced editors. WesleyDodds (talk) 06:41, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

The diffs for Accelerate at the COTW page are for the wrong week. I checked it because I remembered an insane amount of editing going on that week due to the album release and all sorts of edit warring. WesleyDodds (talk) 09:39, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

I'll tell you one thing: it'll be surreal seeing a composite Beatles picture with Old Man McCartney right next to Hippie Lennon. WesleyDodds (talk) 22:54, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

According to this, all images by Look magazine have been released into the public domain, so maybe you could find something there. WesleyDodds (talk) 23:00, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Why does Paul look like a bloated conquistador? I need to show that one to Ceoil. WesleyDodds (talk) 23:03, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

By the way, I have The Beatles Anthology hardcover book, if there's anything you want sourced in an album article. It's rather heavy, though, and I fear dropping it on my foot as I take it off the shelf. WesleyDodds (talk) 23:15, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

What do you think of moving Let It Be to "Let It Be (Beatles album)"? There's a number of albums named Let It Be, most notably the Replacements' album (which, to be completely honest, is a much better album than the one the Beatles put out), so redirecting "Let It Be" (much less "Let It Be (album)") to the Beatles album doesn't work for me. It's the most notable album with that name, sure, but the 'Mats album is pretty notable as well (hell, they both made the Rolling Stone "500 Greatest albums" list).

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

I would think this should be subject to discussion and consensus per WP:TRIVIA#Guidelines. It's a major change to the article. --Rodhullandemu 15:36, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Everything's up to discussion and consensus on a talk page. So far, two people have agreed to both points (me and Ceoil), and Realist2 "definitely" agrees to your second point. Cheers, Kodster 23:03, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh, sure. I archived the PR. The reason I do PRs before any work is done is because I like to get an idea of what I NEED to do BEFORE I start working. Apparently, that won't be necessary in your case, but I've only been here for about three and a half months, so I need a little direction...I tried starting on this before, but I was a bit too inexperienced to take on the task. Oh well, it's a fresh start. Cheers, Kodster 23:10, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Sources...well, there's plenty of Geocities websites. Just kidding, actually, I don't have any sources, but I could get some if you like. Google Books will be my friend for a bit. ;) What do you suggest? Cheers, Kodster 23:28, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Do you know any good FA album articles that we could use as a guide? Cheers, Kodster 21:42, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah, the first albums that appear in the section on WP:FA. Hm....LOL, okay, those will work I guess. I thought we might need a more influential album, so that we can better compare with "Sgt. Pepper". Cheers, Kodster 22:00, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Beatles photo

Hi, Indopug - that photo should be fine. When you upload it, the correct license to use would be {{PD-Pre1978}}. Under the "source" section of the {{Information}} template, put {{LOC-image|cph.3c11094}}. In the "Permission" section, I would include a link to the LOC gallery page that includes the note that the copyright was researched by the Library of Congress people. According to this, only a few of those UPI photos had copyright registered, and those apparently were not renewed. Good luck - if you like, drop me a note when the photo is uploaded and I'll check over the details for you. Kelly 14:43, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Feature Article Candidate Roman Catholic Church

This is a formal notification.

The nomination of the above article was archived by the Featured Articles Director, with the comment that the page had again grown too long. He has asked that all remaining objectors produce a list of their specific problems with the article in its current form. These will then be addressed by the article's editorial team before re-presentation for FA status.

Can you therefore please post a complete list of any specific remaining objections you may have on the article's talk page at: Talk:Roman_Catholic_Church. If possible can we have this list in by the end of June, so that editors can begin to address them all in detail in July. To prevent the nomination again becoming over-long, we would ask that you raise ALL of your remaining concerns at this stage, making your comments as specific and comprehensive as possible. It would help if all your comments were gathered under your name in a single heading on the page. Thank you. Xandar (talk) 01:44, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

RE: FF

I removed the bolding of number 1's. Apart from that, Let It Die's chart trajectory is the main reason for the edits. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 15:42, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your kind comments, they are most appreciated. I don't think I will get an account: I like the open nature of the project and think it is its great strength. Therefore for now at least I prefer to be part of the wider community of editors without being part of the narrower one. 86.44.27.243 (talk) 17:42, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
