1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours

Please stop changing 1990 to 1991 to Green Day's first album 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours and how do you know it was released in July 1991? allmusic.com didn't say that. I'm sorry but your information is wrong. The album was released, copyrighted and published in 1990. Even their official website and the page at Rate Your Music agrees with 1990 and the CD (if you don't have it). If you continue changing it again, I have no other choice but to report you. -- Mike Garcia | talk 19:41, 28 Jun 2005 (UTC)

And Mike continues to make threats to other users. Perhaps your last couple revert wars have instilled more civility. Cburnett June 28, 2005 20:09 (UTC)

Cburnett, are there any options I can pursue with this person? Because I've presented the amazon release date link (definitive proof) and yet he keeps vandalizing the contents. Or should I wait til he's banned once again? (I can see why it's happened, after what I've read) PetSounds 28 June 2005 20:12 (UTC)

PetSounds, you have been reported at Misplaced Pages:AMA Requests for Assistance about 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. Please explain the meaning why you keep re-writing the incorrect release date. -- Mike Garcia | talk 20:18, 28 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I just wanted to drop you a note about Mike Garcia. Regarding Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (which is still protected), Mike reverted it 7 times (while being banned for violating the 3RR noless) because he doesn't understand the difference between a copyright date and a release date. This may be the case if he reverts again (I have no clue if the first release album has 1990 or 1991 on the case). Please feel free to read the B&T talk page, my talk page and Danny's talk page for more info. Cburnett June 28, 2005 19:16 (UTC)

I seem to have predicted the future: Mike reverted. My suggestion is to not revert and draw a consensus on the talk page. Cburnett June 28, 2005 19:41 (UTC)

Mike, you need to understand that the date on cases is only the copyright date and nothing more unless explicitly stated. This is twice in one week you fail to understand this.

PetSounds, if Mike continues to insist on reverting the page (it would seem that my warning of being banned stopped him from going onto his fourth revert) then you're in the same boat I am with Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Cburnett June 28, 2005 20:38 (UTC)

Yes, the album does say 1990 on it PetSounds, see: . As I answered you at Misplaced Pages:AMA Requests for Assistance. -- Mike Garcia | talk 28 June 2005 20:45 (UTC)

The link is invalid. But, again, the date on the case is the copyright date, NOT the release date. The copyright date is 100% wholly irrelevant to this discussion. Cburnett June 28, 2005 20:49 (UTC)

No, Cburnett, you don't understand. The album was orginally released in 1990 and it does make it a 1990 album. Please see the source above. I don't care if it's the copyright or release date. -- Mike Garcia | talk 28 June 2005 20:55 (UTC)

You don't get it Mike. WIKIPEDIA cares if it's the release date. I care if it's the release date. Cburnett June 28, 2005 21:11 (UTC)

Edit summary

Great edit summary at Green Day. Now I understand. And thank you for not being miffed by my previous reversion. Upon reflection, the qualifications are an enhancement if we can add them consistently throughout. I will raise this at Talk:Green Day.—Theo (Talk) 12:30, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

No worries. :-) —PetSounds 5:42, 22 Jun 2005

Coldplay discography

Please refer to the Coldplay discussion page and stop making unecessary changes to the main discography section. There's too many chart positions in that section, and I have moved them to their appropriate singles infoboxes.--Madchester June 28, 2005 20:24 (UTC)

Block

You have been temporarily blocked from editing due to revert warring. See Misplaced Pages:Three-revert rule. Note that User:Mike Garcia has also been temporarily blocked for the same reason. Please try to discuss disagreements with other editors on article or user talk pages, and ask third parties for feedback/advise in case of unresolved disputes in the future. Please try to edit with more Misplaced Pages:Civility in the future. Thank you. -- Infrogmation June 28, 2005 21:07 (UTC)

Hi PetSounds: I have restored the release dates to the article. I see that several people have explained matters to Mike. I am sorry that you reached such a point of exasperation that you breached 3RR. I imagine that this will not happen again now that you know the rule. Personally, I avoid reverting anything more than once without discussion, and that is not once every 24 hours, that is once and forever. In this case, I believe that Mike is being intransigent and unreasonable, but that does not justify multiple reverts. Multiple reverts tend to entrench positions. I am now off to check out those certifications that you mentioned.—Theo (Talk) 29 June 2005 05:59 (UTC)

Officializing the page? Is that what I did? It sounds impressive! Seriously, I am glad that your block was lifted. I considered it myself but knew that I would not be around long enough this evening to discuss it properly with your blocker. I trust that you have "Only revert once" etched on your heart.—Theo (Talk) 29 June 2005 22:10 (UTC)

I sure do! Thanks again Theo... PetSounds 29 June 2005 22:12 (UTC)

Good to see you back

Sorry to see you were blocked last night. I probably would have unblocked you, but alas I'm not an admin. Did you get a warning about the 3 revert rule beforehand? It seems what happened is that Cburnett left you a warning about it on your talk page, but it got lost thanks to the edit conflict bug since the upgrade. Anyway Mike was blocked for 2 days, so that's a good thing. the wub "?/!" 29 June 2005 22:20 (UTC)

Hey, thanks.... No, I never received that warning (or at least, hadn't seen it in time). No worries, now I'm aware. I just hope we don't have another repeat once Mike returns... It's pointless on his part. PetSounds 29 June 2005 22:24 (UTC)

Track listing lines

I don't know if its you either, but I have run into the same problem with the == == around track listing and used the === === already as well. Thanks for the question. Cbing01 30 June 2005 20:38 (UTC)

Nope, it isn't me. I'm just going around trying to sort it out. I already hit all the Green Day and Beck albums. Working on The Beatles now. PetSounds 30 June 2005 20:40 (UTC)

I'd just like to point out that you did not have to erase A Western Harvest By Moonlight or the stuff linking to it, since a decent article for that still needs to be created.--Weebot 30 June 2005 23:39 (UTC)

More Western Harvest chatter

The fact that it is an EP and not a full length album is irrelevant (The Radiohead chronology lists EPs alongside with full albums, as does the Nirvana chronology), as is the fact that it had such a limited run. Golden Feelings had a far smaller run, and The Banjo Story was never released to the public, but both are placed in the official chronology. Beck has also stated in interviews that A Western Harvest Field by Moonlight was his first proper release , so I think its inclusion is more than warrented. I just wish I could get an official release date. Beck's sites says 1994, and AMG has it Mid-1995. I think I'll go with Beck's site...

To be honest, I don't even know WHY Golden Feelings and The Banjo Story are there....they aren't even official. As far as I - and the general public seem to be concerned - all the Geffen material, including Stereopathetic Soul Manure and One Foot in the Grave are official albums. Something that has a limited run and put on vinyl (now that's obscure) can't really be considered an official or proper release, since NO one can have access to it. I just don't think it should be listed between his regular albums.... Why don't you create an "unofficial" list the main Beck page below his proper releases and put Banjo Story, Golden Feelings and Western Harvest there? This way the link can be accessed from his regular page.... Heck, I think I'll do it now.... PetSounds 1 July 2005 23:42 (UTC)

Image contributions

Hi, thanks for all of your helpful image contributions. Please see Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags, for how to properly tag your images with a copyright tag. I have added {{albumcover}} to some of your recent uploads. You can use that tag and {{dvdcover}} for albums and DVDs, respectively. Thanks again. <>Who?¿? 7 July 2005 02:41 (UTC)

Hey, I saw you deleted my changes to the Weezer-Make Believe article. I really think it's fair to say it was released to mixed reviews by both fans (especially older ones) and critics - I have seen some very negative reviews, and some older Weezer fans I know hate it, but some positive ones too. I mean, that Metacritic site which I had mentioned averages all of the reviews as a 49 out of 100, that's very middle of the road. It got 4 stars from Rolling stone, but you can't discount bad reviews just because you like Weezer or the album. Awiseman

Your last warning on 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours by Green Day

PetSounds, please don't change 1990 to 1991 for 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours again, you have the wrong information. Unconvinced? Please see the source again before changing/reverting: and you better not change/revert it again this time. If you do it, I'm gonna be tracking you off, so don't have me do it. -- Mike Garcia | talk 16:25, 9 July 2005 (UTC)

Bob Dylan

The additions you made to the Bob Dylan discography page today are very good. Keep it up!

(PS i'm not sure that what the other two people said was really harassment, there's no need to be too sensitive :) ) SECProto 15:13, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

Do not delete the following comment by User:Monicasdude again, per Misplaced Pages user_talk page guidelines. New users have the right to read of disputes older users have had with you. By the way, John Wesley Harding was released December 27, 1967 and don't delete my text either. ~~~~ 08:37, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

Stop whining to the admins

Stop harassing the admins whenever people disagree with your edits. Stop violating the wiki guidelines by posting dishonest information about your edits. Stop posting your personal opinions as fact and calling them the general consensus of observers; even if they reflect general opinion, it's still opinion, not fact. Calling people who disagree with you vandals is just bad faith personal abuse.

And editing other people's talk pages to remove comments you disagree with is beyond the pale. Monicasdude 03:06, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

Stop posting inaccurate personal abuse about me on other users' talk pages

And stop editing third parties' talk pages to delete my replies to your senseless invective. It's appalling misbehavior. Monicasdude 07:20, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
