A striking find

Alchemist's promo picture, has a striking resemblance to the shot taken at the North Pole and could just-be a backdrop and edited into the promo picture. I don't know how this could be added into the article but I find it eerily interesting. On a side note I saw this picture 3 weeks ago. CircafuciX 05:23, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well Roy is a graphic designer and probably used that photo as the background. Although I don't consider that particular piece of info encyclopaedic! --AusBruce 07:08, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it can be for his future biography here? since the site gives each band member some info about them, it could be created later on. CircafuciX 07:43, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Discography

The new "official" discography infobox was changed back to a gallery style by someone. Thoughts? I've used the new one on a lot of band pages now and while it can be confusing I tend to use one group for "albums" and another for "singles and EPs" so readers who don't know what the colours mean can differentiate. Again, thoughts on this? This is turning into a really good article so we need some consensus. BrianFG 10:42, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re Discography

I updated it to the new style as it offers greater flexibility and there's no html - but it was fervently reverted so I didn't bother arguing for the update. Your proposal is to sort by type? If so I'm for it.

eg.

Yep, that's exactly what I'd do. It's easier to distinguish between release types. I tend to put "demos" in with EPs and singles though. I'm not sure what the official Wiki stand is on these as there's no designation for them. For now I'm going to cut and paste what you've done here and move it to the article page. I noticed the revertion but I think this new format is catching on so this will be the way to go eventually. BrianFG 19:05, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, putting demos with EP makes sense to me. :) --AusBruce 08:30, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Eternal Wedlock

To whomever dug out "Eternal Wedlock" and added the details, very well done!BrianFG 23:04, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Also the demo, I thank Anthony S too. What we still are missing is that demo '90 which seems to be even rarer. I also find it funny for the band to name their first demo. Anyway big thanks for the help :) - CircafuciX 23:35, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have the details (track listing and personnel details) for the 1990 demo. BrianFG 06:20, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Cool, you should make a page (or post the details or source here) and worry about a cover image later. Tony 06:32, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Band pic

The old promo pic got deleted so I replaced it with a pic of Adam that I took last year. I'm still trying to find one of the whole band but until I do, that should suffice. BrianFG 01:12, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Maybe the new MySpace pic (of the whole band) could be used instead and the pic of Adam could be a caption under Embryonics and Tripsis (2005-Present)? Some pictures would be nice for the article and I've actually been thinking about adding one there. --CircafuciX 04:48, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The reason the other one got deleted was because of Wikipedia's free use policy. I'm pretty sure the pics from the MySpace page would be as equally problematic. BrianFG 05:51, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

For whomever is reading this: Could someone go to one of their concerts and take some pictures they really deserve some more now. −₪ÇɨгcaғucɨҲ₪ ^kaiden 18:32, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Demos

Too bad, (dommage!) at the time we created them to make their discography complete, now they're going to get deleted after all the hard work. We simply did not know about notability before they were created and the person who prodded them should of made a note about all of them here! −₪ÇɨгcaғucɨҲ₪ ^kaiden 18:29, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
