Is discogs.com a reliable source?

Recently, you opposed Dave Gahan discography questioning use of discogs.com as a reliable source. BUT, the Nine Inch Nails discography nominated by you, passed the WP:FLC even though there were a couple of instances where discogs.com was used as a source, plus you listed it as a general reference, as well. There is another example where discogs.com was used as a source, yet you supported (Feeder discography). So, my question is, in your opinion, "Is discogs.com a reliable source?" --Crzycheetah 00:21, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Godsmack discography

I did everything you stated on the Godsmack discography FLC. Than you for reviewing by the way. Nice job on Nine Inch Nails and surrounding articles, I just read them a couple of days ago. Could you comment in a couple places for me please? Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Alice in Chains and Wikipedia:Peer review/Chevelle. Thank you,

Zero Patience GA

I have addressed each of your concerns either by making some changes or responding on the talk page (or both). Please have another look in hopes we can get this passed. Thanks. Otto4711 (talk) 19:58, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

WP:LOTD

In the last month, you have created a new WP:FL. From what I can tell, you are a veteran and have produced others in the past. Congratulations! You may be aware of WP:LOTD and have probably heard from me in prior months. We are experimenting with selecting Lists of the Day so similar to the current WP:TFA and WP:POTD features that run on the main page. I am invite those who have created new FLs in the last month to participate.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 21:59, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your assessment of the Nader Shah article. User:Folantin and I, among other editors, have made efforts to address your suggestions and improve the article. I have renominated the article.--Agha Nader (talk) 01:40, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Dear Drecifer, While I appreciate your work on the Ian Svenonius page, I actually am Ian Svenonius and I really don't want my personal information on wikipedia. Not only that but I don't like the allmusic guide's write up of Nation of Ulysses. I thought my initial edit of NOU and my whole page several months ago was interesting, well written and fun to read. Of course that's all subjective but please take down this stuff about my high school and family. I have never talked about that stuff in my interviews and don't see why it should be on wikipedia. Thanks, Ooooooooops! Dear Drewcifer, I appreciate it alot! Thanks. Thanks for communicating too. Take care, IFS —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ooooooooops!

Drew, your best bet is probably to list it at WP:COIN. Corvus cornixtalk 01:16, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

By putting it on COIN, you can just let other people take a look at it, and step back. Corvus cornixtalk 01:23, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, do what you think is best. Corvus cornixtalk 02:01, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

I try.  :) I find myelf caught up in these things too much, muyself. Corvus cornixtalk 02:05, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

I understand. BTW, are you sure you want to retract the FAC nomination? It may be a huge detraction, but I don't think it would be entirely unreasonable for the article to still pass. --Brandt Luke Zorn (talk) 14:45, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Also, I'm sorry that my Year Zero copyedit has been delayed so long - I've been swamped with real life things, particularly schoolwork. It should be up later today. --Brandt Luke Zorn (talk) 14:50, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

GA on hold

I have revised Laozi. Please let me know if there are further issues that need to be addressed. Suggestions for improvement regardless of GA pass/fail would be appreciated. Cheers! Vassyana (talk) 20:48, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi there! I was wondering if you were still going to review Chevelle for GA? Also, would you mind commenting on Wikipedia:Peer review/Opeth, it is just fine if you don't, but thank you. Cheers, —Burningclean [Speak the truth!] 05:53, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

That is just fine, I am in no rush. Thank you very much, —Burningclean [Speak the truth!] 18:31, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your time and your kind words of advise regarding the article. I have corrected as much as I possibly can. Can you check it out/help to improve it. Thanks. Universal Hero (talk) 17:05, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the swift reply.
  • I thought it might fail a GA if didn't have actual screenshots of the film. What should I do?
  • Life is Beautiful is simply the tagline of the film.
  • Ok. I'll clean up the songs list. Universal Hero (talk) 20:17, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
On second thots, I think it would be better how it is now, as it is a film soundtrack, whilst, the Beatles album was a music album. Cheers, praying for that GA. Universal Hero (talk) 20:20, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Done. Waiting patiently for the promotion. :) Universal Hero (talk) 12:11, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Spike Lee

Thanks for finding a much better image of Lee to accompany the article. It's far better than the crappy one I took a few years ago. :-) Nightscream (talk) 21:34, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

No problem! Drewcifer (talk) 20:45, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello, would you mind commenting on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Alice in Chains? The FAC discussion was not closed, but it was re-started by the FA director. Fell free not to, that would be fine by me. Thank you, —Burningclean [Speak the truth!] 22:03, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Opus Dei controversy section

Thanks for GAR comments regarding this. If the main problem is a structure prone to being interpreted as a "set em up and knock em down", may I propose that we invert the order of the critical and supporting views. Please check this private fork = Opus Dei controversy section where I propose a new ordering. I hope this satisfies all parties. :) Kindly comment on this. Thanks. Marax (talk) 08:12, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Coheed and Cambria

I've renominated the Coheed and Cambria Wiki for a good article. On the talk page it said to let you know and you'd check it out. I fixed the links to the Coheed and Cambria Myspace, but couldn't find different links for the Shabutie material. The band was not popular at all, but is still an important part of the Coheed story. Anyways, please check it out. Thanks. Sunshine748 (talk) 07:26, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

NIN section names

Hey I found the the way the sub-sections of the History section are set forth awkward. Firstly, they are named after the album, followed by a main article tag and then, the first mention of the album in the paragraph is in bold. Is it necessary to have 3 headers in quick succession? Why not remove the main article tag and bolds and just link the first mention of the album instead? indopug (talk) 05:25, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I think it's a pretty logical way of ordering the article, since NIN's history is pretty much defined by each release. But, I'm not the only editor of the article, so feel free to bring it up on the talk page. Drewcifer (talk) 15:57, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Deftones discography FLC

I thought I should let you know that I've recently made some major additions to the article; for transparency's sake, I think I should make any supporters of the nominations aware. Here is the diff, and here is the nomination. Thanks! Seegoon (talk) 15:46, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello Drewcifer3000, I was about to fail The Carpenters discography based on your strong oppose, but then I noticed that your concerns were taken care of. Could you take a second look and make necessary comments on the nom. page. Thanks, Crzycheetah 22:47, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm not very sure I understand what exactly you want from me, how to do it, and other stuff. Please clarify and help me a bit! — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 21:55, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

The reason why they may seem inconsistent is because:
  1. There may not be information regarding chart sales, positions, etc.
  2. Many of their albums were not certified, especially non-US albums.
This is all I can think of now. Please respond, and I hope I can get it featured!! — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 05:18, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Allen/Storaro filmography FLCs

Hey Drewcifer, I've reviewed the two FLC's you have open at the moment. I'm new to reviewing filmographies so forgive me if I go over old ground! The Rambling Man (talk) 10:46, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Just a quick one. I'm viewing those pages in ie7 and the widths of the columns definitely don't appear the same. I've got safari and firefox on my mac so 'ok check there too. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:07, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I was wondering if you would be willing to take a look at the article and provide further comments on how it should be improved. Also, there has been an ongoing dispute on the article's table layout, particularly in the albums section, as you can probably tell from the talk page. So, I was wondering if you would be willing to provide a third opinion on the matter and hopefully, let the dispute end. Many thanks. σмgнgσмg(talk) 10:16, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I've addressed the issues you've raised (again) - and I would like for you to re-review it again. Sorry for the hassles. σмgнgσмg(talk) 05:56, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
The tables have been reverted back into its original form. I request you take a look at the article again. But, I believe the changes will not occur again without further discussion. Cheers. σмgнgσмg(talk) 04:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm having particular trouble with one particular editor who is stubbornly changing the article to the way he sees fit. Could you please help me sort this out. Thanks. σмgнgσмg(talk) 06:47, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey, User:I7114080 was unhappy with the recent changes made with article had expressed his opinion on this page. I would like for you to read his concerns and voice your opinion. Since there is still some dispute over what the article should look like, do you reckon I should cancel the WP:FLC nomination and work with him together before re-nominating? Or should I get other users and have a concensus? Please help. Cheers. σмgнgσмg(talk) 02:49, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I've come by. I just don't like the format that Omghgomg have edited. So I list some different formats here. Please share your opinions. I think that is the last approach I can use to solve the problem.Langdon (talk) 00:47, 27 February 2008 (UTC)i7114080

Depeche Mode discography (Featured List candidate)

Hi! I think I have dealt with the issues you raise - any others? best, Sunil060902 (talk) 15:21, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Lead improved (I think!), Discogs replaced with IMDB. best, Sunil060902 (talk) 12:15, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: The Carpenters discography

The reason why one isn't sortable is because it gets messy when it becomes sortable. Perhaps you could help me? Also, I don't know how to adjust the width and all. I'm not used to programming the tables. Sorry. — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 02:56, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I saw you edited it. Is it better now? — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 21:13, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Silverchair

I had a go at a musical style section at User:Dihydrogen Monoxide/Silverchair. Could you take a look and leave some commentary, and then I'll move it to the main article? Thanks, dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 09:54, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

OK, I added the section. Thanks heaps for your comments; I'll take them on board in going towards FAC. I'll deal with the rest of the GA stuff now. Thanks, dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 08:01, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
So, erm, are you going to pass it? :D dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 08:54, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! :D I'll bug you when it's near FAC. dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 09:06, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

BAFTA website

Hey Drewcifer, I just noticed the BAFTA website may be down. Any ideas? I was just doing a standard check on your links for Vittorio's article and got stuck waiting for the page to load up.... Worth keeping an eye on the situation. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:43, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

National Ignition Facility

I have put the article on hold while issues are being fixed. They are fairly minor, and am sure by the end of the day, one more GA will be added to your list on your user page. :) Λua∫Wise (Operibus anteire) 17:07, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

How could I possibly turn down a request from a NIN fan?!? I'd be happy to do it, just send me the text at :frank@terribleman.com. and I'll get it back to you soon as. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Terribleman (talkcontribs) 22:12, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Note

The article National Ignition Facility will be failed GAN unless the issues are addressed. The On hold period has almost expired. Cheers! Λua∫Wise (Operibus anteire) 16:16, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I am really sorry! I have made a mistake at identifying the user responsible for its nomination...One thing for sure though, you not be hearing about this subject anymore unless you want to. :)

Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I am glad to be reviewing the article Nine Inch Nails live performances you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Xavexgoem (talk) 08:02, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

All done. Not much left to address; still think visual elements could be balanced a bit (mosh pits, yadayada), but it's a niggling detail in my mind. Xavexgoem (talk) 22:07, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
