All of the information that I have placed on this band's page is directly from the liner notes of the records that I own. Joshuah Hounshell 21:23, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Collaborating Artist List

First, thanks to User:Joshuah_Hounshell for all the recent edits. I think the article might be improved if each band was only wikilinked once per section, and that each artist had his/her projects listed once also. Unless there are objections, I'll go ahead with these propositions. Skomorokh 21:06, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

The only reason I would object is that the way I did it makes it easy for someone to cross-reference other groups that a collaborating artist has been involved with. Your way will still list each "other band", but not link them? Joshuah Hounshell 21:22, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

My point is it's redundant and annoying (no offence) to see "*Josh Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age, Kyuss, Eagles Of Death Metal)" at the top of each section. By the time a viewer has read the first volume, they will be familiar with Homme's projects. I'm not sure whether it's best to replace it with "* Josh Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age, Kyuss, Eagles Of Death Metal)" or simply "* Josh Homme" though. Thoughts?Skomorokh 21:41, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

How about the table I implemented? -- Reaper X 21:54, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

A clever solution, perhaps the artist names could be in regular rather than bold though? I still think it's unecessary to keep wikilinking e.g. Queens of the Stone Age for every artist, especially now the space is being used more efficiently.Skomorokh

I think it looks great Reaper X, I think the wikilinks should stay as well. Wiki is all about referencing, it's not redundant if someone is following along Josh Homme in the table to click QOTSA but decides to keep reading and decides to click QOTSA at Troy Van Leeuwen. See what I mean? Joshuah Hounshell 04:16, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate your position that Misplaced Pages is all about linking, but the Misplaced Pages Manual of Style directive on internal linking states that link duplication should be used in a new paragraph or subsection, and that the same article should not be linked twice on the same screen, a guidline which article clearly violates.Skomorokh 13:47, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Holy shit dude, you know how often the policy on overlinking is violated right? I agree with Hounshell on this one, and I say leave it unless either this article shoots for GA status, or someone else comes along and changes it. -- Reaper X 20:24, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Hahahahaha. For real, Reaper. I agree, leave it alone. Joshuah Hounshell 16:45, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, just spotted this. The fact that a rule is often violated is of absolutely no support to the proposition that it should be violated here. "Everyone breaks it so we should break it" is entirely illogical (not suggesting this is your argument). I think the proliferation of links is redundant, but I agree to leave it for the moment since you both have made worthy improvements to the article and there is no consensus.

Original 10" Vinyl Releases

I am in the process of scanning high quality scans of the cover art from each release and will update the article thusly when completed. Joshuah Hounshell 21:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I have added pages for Volume 4: Hard Walls And Little Trips; Volume 5: Poetry For The Masses (Sea Shed Shit Head By The She Sore) & Volume 6: Poetry For The Masses (Black Anvil Ego) Joshuah Hounshell 04:49, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Coupled Volumes 7 & 8 and Volumes 9 & 10 into one link each for ease and continuity. Joshuah Hounshell 04:51, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Current Edits (General)

I added an infobox and photo from desertsessions.com. I also formatted the intro paragraph a bit. Joshuah Hounshell 22:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
