links to interviews

Not sure about the action taken on deleting external links to interviews with the people that the article are about. Would you not like people to have as much information as possible. An odd decision i think. Like you I am also a musician and would think you would understand as a musician that setting the record straigh in your own words in the best possible reference for any article about music or any topic for that matter  ????? o well a my work gone.

The interview links posted were of poor quality...were not from a profesional source...and did not add anything more to the article that wasn't already there. Either in content or in other "authorised" links provided. See WP:EL for details on what's OK and what isn't. Anger22 06:57, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

List of Telecaster players

I went ahead and moved Ed Bickert to the discussion page until the source is found. I believe that the total lack of citationless guitarists on the list might help discourage prospective contributors from adding new names without providing a reference. We'll see. You'll find Bickert in a list with several other guitarists who don't yet have references confirming their notability as Telecaster players here.

Regarding Mick Ronson: If he's more popularly known as a Les Paul guy, I'm inclined to exclude him from the list. With a very few exceptions, such as Page and his enduring Tele work in the monster hit Stairway to Heaven, I think we should avoid listing guitarists who are more identified with a non-Tele instrument. Naturally, there is a good deal of subjectivity in this, but I think this restraint is necessary to help avoid the bloatedness with which the article was once plagued. If someone really wanted to add him, and provided reliable sources, I wouldn't strongly object. But from what I've seen so far, I don't think he should go on the list, even though Marty Stuart admired a Tele that Ronson once used. Rohirok 18:01, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok by me. I saw Ronson a number of times before he died. He was playing a tele then...but as mentioned earlier...he's more indentified as a Les Paul player. You're doing a great job on the list! Keep up the good work! Cheers! Anger22 22:32, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Quick Admin question

So what would your advice on our next move be? Trying to go to Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets? I have thought of that myself, but I guess you'll do great as a second opinion; do or don't?—♦♦ SʘʘTHING 10:39, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, I could file a request right now and link you to it on this page. In case you'll get online in New Zealand it's there for easy viewing pleasure. How does that sound? (Oh, and I wish you'll have lots fun in New Zealand!)—♦♦ SʘʘTHING 10:52, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Alright then, well...here's the link: Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets/NCC17‎. Have fun.—♦♦ SʘʘTHING 11:18, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

AC/DC Rock N Roll Hall of Fame quotes

I've seen that you've edited the Rock N Roll Hall of fame section of the AC/DC page, removing the Steven Tyler quote, for lack of citation.I'd provided two links, one to the Yahoo Music AC/DC News Section and the other to the AC/DC Biography section at lyricsfreak.com, on the AC/DC Discussion page, that you may have not seen. Those should be helpful.i'd like to know if you have any other objections to the presence, in that article, of the quote from Steven Tyler, describing AC/DC, while inducting them at the Hall of Fame.The Archer 21:01, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Direct quotes on Wiki should include a proper cite. If there's one there now then that's great. Does it include Brian Johnson's acceptance speech as well. Because it needs one too. The real problem with the first entry was the "(audience laughter)" bit which is about as un-encyclopedic as it comes.(user sighs). It's all there in WP:POL worth a read for sure.

WP Guitar

Howdy, I was wondering if you perhaps have the time and desire to help work on the Equipment task force? It needs a lot of work - especially in the areas of refining the infobox to include all types of equipment, and setting down notability standards for equipment. --Aguerriero (talk) 17:18, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Lars Ulrich

no problem,I reverted it without thinking then saw what you meant and changed it back.I apologize.Yes there really needs to be a Wikiproject for drummers.Apologies 0111 01:07, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

There you go...maybe you could be the one to start one. I am guessing quite a few drum playing Wikipedians would like to see one also. Anger22 01:10, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I would but I'm sorta new to wikipedia 0111 01:24, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Well...you just did a good job on the new infobox. So you're off to a good start. All in due time. Anger22 01:28, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

While we are talking.is my User Page appropriate? Does it count as offensive or violates copyright rules.I made the image myself using "paint".If so I'll delete/change it.0111 01:35, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't offend me...but I am the wrong one to ask. An administrator is better at those kind of things. Use the {helpme} call(look in the welcome message I put on your talk page for proper format/usage). Someone will come along very quickly to give your question a proper answer. Anger22 01:47, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

ok thanks0111 01:54, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank You

You more than deserve it.0111 02:28, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

lol a month or 2!I guess you better be getting ready I'll be there. 0111 02:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I've deleted the page per your request. I'm not sure if that's how such things are usually done, but the nice thing about wikipedia is that just about anything can be reversed easily. --Spangineer (háblame) 20:04, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Deville's RfA

RFA thanks

Dcclark User Page

Thanks for reverting Super7am's vandalism of my user page. Any idea how I should deal with a persistant (but only occasional) user like him, who leaves annoying notes for me and occasionally makes an immature threat? -- dcclark (talk) 15:02, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

E-mail

Hey man, did you get my e-mail? I sent you one a few days ago via the e-mail registered to your account here. --Aguerriero (talk) 20:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Sent you another one. --Aguerriero (talk) 23:14, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Thank you very much for participating in my RFA, which closed successfully today with a result of (62/18/3). I will go very carefully at first, trying to make sure I don't mess up too badly using the tools, and will begin by re-reading all the high-quality feedback I received during the process, not least from those who opposed me. Any further advice/guidance will be gratefully accepted. I hope I will live up to your trust! Guinnog 14:56, 30 August 2006 (UTC)}

A RfA thank you from en:User:Xyrael

I'd like to thank you Anger22 for either supporting, opposing, commenting, nominating, reading, editing, promoting and/or anything else that you may have done for my successful request for adminship (I've broken the one thousand sysop barrier!); I'm thanking you for getting involved, and for this I am very grateful. I hope to be able to serve Misplaced Pages more effectively with my new tools and that we can continue to build our free encyclopedia, for knowledge is power, but only wisdom is liberty. Please do feel free to get in touch if you feel you can improve me in any way; I will be glad to listen to all comments. Again, thanks 8)             —Xyrael / 12:05, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Winhunter's RfA thanks

Hi Anger22, thank you for supporting me in my RfA, which was closed as successful today with a finaly tally of (56/0/3). I will be very careful at first to avoid any mistakes. Please feel free to leave a message in my talk page if you have any comments/suggestions about me in the future. Once again, thank you! --WinHunter 09:12, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

The "stickman"

Judging from the users remarks on his talk page + his deletion of your valid link addition to the Neil Peart article...my AGF grows thin that the user wants to contribute to Misplaced Pages in a positive way. Any thoughts? I know lots of admins but don't want to bother them with this unless it's truly necessary. For now it's just small potatoes link spamming. Cheers Anger22 23:27, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

He appears to have lost enthusiasm for adding his link, now that he has been pointed at the rules. I cannot know for sure, of course, but my take is that he's just a fan-site creator who, like most creators, thinks his creation is special and deserves to be linked. The site does place highly in a Google search, so I think it may actually be of above-average value for a fan-site, but even if it's the best fan-site in the world, that still doesn't satisfy WP:EL. Misplaced Pages is not a bookmark file. I agree that it's not worth admin intervention unless he won't use Talk but continues to try adding the link. --DragonHawk 23:38, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I can promise I no longer want my link and have not further tried to place one after the kind help that DragonHawk gave me in explaining the rules. And yes, Anger22, you also sent me the same explanation while I was talking with DragonHawk and I thank you for also expalining it to me. After being falsely accused of being a commercial sales site by ThuranX I felt the need to write to ThuranX and to politely explain that my site is a non-profit fan based website. I don't feel I wrote anything in anger as I was pointing out similarities between my site and the current sites linked on the page in question. I promise you I have not written one single word in anger. I do not understand how it is misread as angry. I'm just straight and to the point when I write.

I have asked some legitimate questions of ThuranX that at this point looks he/she is just trying to avoid because I raise a valid point that cannot be justified. All I ask is an answer to the question(s) I raised to fulfill my curiousity. Plain and simple.

Any help or suggestions would be highly appreciated, seriously. I am not at all the person that some people are trying to make me out to be. Thank you for your time and assistance.Peartdrumsticks 04:04, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

PS ... I like the new Wiki-nickname, "Stickman"! Cool ... Thanks!  :-) Peartdrumsticks 04:12, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Wow! Thats great news, thanks for the note. I signed up to AWB a while ago, better start using it now particularly since things have been pretty hot recently--KaptKos 12:57, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Blocking Marley

Hello,

It's probably time for someone to temporarily edit block Bob Marley & The Wailers; the kids seem to be a play. I'm not an admin. so I can't; can you?

What a joke. I've voted. Thanks for letting me know! Take care -- Imoeng 12:14, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism?

Since when does getting facts straight and inserting seriously missing details amount to vandalism? There are at least 6 major Cream compilation albums missing from their discography, and to anyone who grew up contemporaneously with The Kids of Degrassi Street--as I did, the show's entry is so faulty and omissive it's almost laughable. If attempting to fix such faulty material is what you call 'vandalism', then all I can say is Thank God for Vandals. Get back to me.

jannyrcobs

Cream compilations (I own most of these--none are bootlegs): Best of Cream (1969), Cream on Top (British, mail order only, 1971,), Heavy Cream (1972), Tops (?), Greatest Hits (Japanese; I own this, but I can't recall the date just now), Once Upon a Time (German; double album, including 2 previously unreleased live tracks, circa 1980), Cream (the first album, Fresh Cream, plus two early singles, circa 1982), etc., etc. (the rest of the list is fairly accurate, to the best of my knowledge. From now on, don't be such a threatening pill, throwing such huge arrows with such little arms in regards to that which you have such severely truncated general knowledge. If you don't want me to correct such a laughable entry, then go ahead and do it yourself--it's persons like you who inspire MAD magazine to do such satires as 'Wonkypedia'....

jannyrcobs

The above note was posted by an Anon IP user who blanked the Cream article....and then complained to me because I rv'd their vandalism. If a legit edit suddenly appears on that article I will remove their vandalism warning Anger22 16:38, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Would you kindly explain to me what constitutes a 'legit edit'? Are you referring to me, jannyrcobs, a Misplaced Pages user, contributor and article creator, attempting to correct a highly (almost embarassingly) omissive discography of a major rock group? When I see errors and omissions, I correct them. Ditto for the Kids of Degrassi Street article. No knowledgable person with half a brain could possibly let that flawed stub stand as it was. I was going ahead with upgrading it to a full article over the next day or two, but you obviously would rather do the legwork--or let it stand as it is: an embarassment. 'Blanking the cream article'--fixing it, you mean. I'll get back to you later today (or tomorrow) with the complete Cream discography, dates and all--maybe serial numbers. Why I have to be relating such basic information to someone who likes to brag about being a major music fan is completely beyond me.

The users "fixing it" edit is this one link which clearly blanks a huge portion of the article. No further explanations needed. Anger22 21:09, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

The Stampeders

As I live in Gravenhurst, Ontario, I know for a fact that the Stampeders only had 35 people show up at their last concert here. And then, they decided to come back! Out of a 300 seat opera house, they managed 35 tickets. Hardly nonsense; more like sad fact.

Edit was far from NPOV and hardly notable. More like...well...nonsense. Anger22 02:06, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Fan site link removed?

Hello, Anger22 -- I saw you removed the link to my Neil Peart fan site (http://www.andrewolson.com/Neil_Peart/neil_peart.htm). I'm not sure why. I've put it back.

Hi Andy, It was probably removed because we as fans are not allowed to ad the site links ourselves to our fan sites per Wiki rules on links. Anger22 was kind enough to explain it to me early on. Michael aka "The Stickman"! Peartdrumsticks 04:24, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello Anger22 ... If there is any site that deserves to be linked on the Neil Peart Wiki page that is Andy's site. It is packed full of useful information and articles on the pages subject. His site is the ultimate fan site about Neil! Peartdrumsticks 04:33, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

If it is a fansite of particular notability...and adds something that is not contained already within the article... then it can be passed if it is requested on the article talk page and concensus reached for inclusion by the articles regular editors. As for the page in question, I'm not the one who removed it so I'm not really the one to ask permission to put it back. It should be put to the articles talk page for discussion. Anger22 09:50, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Jeff Goldblum

Hi, please do not revert valid edits with tools intended to be used for vandalism. Thank you.--SB | T 13:39, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Blanking article sections without prior discussion with regular editors and reaching concensus IS...for the most part...vandalism. Something that particular anon editor is becoming known for...and something I would've expected an Admin to know already??? Anger22 18:42, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Uh, no. The user clearly gave a reason, and a good one, why the section should be removed in his edit summary; it doesn't matter that the editor wasn't logged-in at the time. The edit wasn't vandalism by any stretch of the imagination.--SB | T 03:41, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Your point of view is valid and my rv should have been a more detailed "rv deletion of text without prior discussion or concensus"...or something to that effect. As for it being vandalism...the user has been given many warnings and been rv'd by many users(rv's with summaries, popups, VP etc) as his edits have been considered vandalism by quite a few others besides myself. Ignoring all warnings, attempts to dialogue or simple explanations as to why he refuses to got through proper steps(talk pages) before erasing entire sections, the user still continues his single purpose attack on varying articles. I am certainly not a fan of trivia sections either. But they exist throughout Misplaced Pages and, like any long standing section in any article, needs discussion and concensus before being turfed. Right? Cheers Anger22 10:15, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
