Simple Plan

Please don't consider my thoughts on the SP article to be personal against you in any way I think you have done good work in catching mistakes and so forth. But given the vandalism and drive by edits this page has seen, I insist on reliable sources for something as important as the band's genre. Incidently, it is more usual to add topics at the bottom of talk pages, that way people can view the discussions and think it is in some sort of chronological order, especially if we archive a talk page and start over.--Wehwalt 16:16, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the star. I could use your help in policing the related SP articles, such as the individual band members' articles, which tend to read like fan pages. Just anything within the template at the foot of the article. Also, if you could think of a better way of phrasing the first sentence of the article, which is awkward but I can't think of a better way of doing it, I'd appreciate it.--Wehwalt 15:47, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're quite welcome

Anytime, mate. Cheers, Dar-Ape 00:41, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page

I'm really sorry about that. I was going through the Prod category and saw the page you wanted deleted (User:Ian Lee/My Wikipedia Contributions). I deleted it and came to leave you the above message and must have deleted it by mistake. Sorry again. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 23:53, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletions

Got it done and this time I didn't delete this page by mistake. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 04:17, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That was someone else. By the way your signature is red on the "contibs" part now. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 04:24, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for fixing my PHP userbox :)

need Damage Control episodes

Hey Ian Lee,

I have been looking for Damage Control episodes that aired on MTV forever now! Do you happen to have them on tape? I will pay you whatever you want for copies. Please reply here as I dont have any other way to contact you.

Thanks! 128.118.40.79 18:15, 14 June 2007 (UTC).[reply]

First off, talk pages are supposed to be used to help improve WP. As for Damage Control, I don't have a dvd or tape. However, I'll get my friend Wehwalt here to help you out! — Ian Lee (Talk) 06:41, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

????????

what do you mean on my talk page ive only been blocked 1 time what did i do bad--Physik 00:26, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note

Hey, i noticed your edit on Physik's user page. I'd just like to leave a quick reminder to always keep a cool head when talking with other users. There is a whole set of templates you can use to inform a user of their violation of wikipolicy at WP:TT. Sometimes even unintentionally "harsh words" can cause more aggravation of a user creating for further problems. Again, just a quick note. Happy Editing! --omtay 38 02:04, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure your actions were justified. Just wanted to leave a note I've gained from previous experience. Best Regards! --omtay 38 02:35, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Prayer

As I suggested on Talk:Prayer, POV tags are a rubbish way to start a discussion. The article is not actually very biased at all, and the placement of such a tag should be the last, not the first step in making it more balanced. I have tried to explain this to you, and I wish you would address my arguments rather than start a new argument over a tag. This case at the Arbitration Committee revolved around the placement of POV tags. They cause more trouble than they solve.

IsaacEllis is a sockpuppet of General Tojo, a previous editor now under a community ban who uses large numbers of sockpuppets to irritate a number of editors (including myself) who have blocked him in the past and remove links to his website. You do not need to defend him. Don't you find it strange that a new editor immediately starts reverting other editors? JFW | T@lk 20:40, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think we're going to lose that battle. I've substituted the CD cover from SNGA. Maybe I can get a free use photo when they start touring again. I can ask, anyway. Or someone more gifted photographically than me can take one of them performing. The way they move around on stage makes it hard to capture five of them in a decent photo though. Or I can catch them at a meet n greet between photos with fans. I'll try, but this bridges us over anyway.--Wehwalt 15:43, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is bullshit. However, you may want to redo the image so that it isn't based on the CD cover. That being said, I'm going to check my photobucket account to see if I have a decent performance pic, even though it is unlikely there is one with all five, given the way they move around the stage.--Wehwalt 10:28, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All gone. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 08:03, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

HEY!

i was not trying to vandalize the page i just feel you dont need to put the track listing on the discography page ~ JJLESDUDE —Preceding unsigned comment added by JJLESDUDE (talk • contribs) 21:51, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

FYI

My sources are telling me November both for new shows and for release of the CD, though I think the latter is a little optimistic. I don't have any locations or definite info, though.--Wehwalt 01:54, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Response in regards to SP article

You mention that the article is "actually quite well referenced for what can be found". However, I added the tag in light of thesesections that contain little to no references:

I wasn't under the impression that it would be in violation of any conduct to add a request for additional references. I merely thought that adding the {{fact}} tag repeatedly all over the article was unnecessary.

Feel free to reply on my talk page.

Dh993 22:01, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm familiar with the WP:WHEN policy, and when I added the reference tag, I had the policy in mind. The SP discography, side projects, and upcoming projects aren't really considered common knowledge - even to their fanbase. Sources should be there to back up the statements, and that's why I added the tag. You also mention that most featured articles don't include a substantial amount of references. Perhaps I'm missing something, but I thought references would just be included in the footnotes section, as well. See the Celine Dion article, for example, which has an abundant list of citaitons.

I appreciate that you're an SP fan, so please don't think that I'm "criticizing" an article that you perhaps enjoy and contribute to regularly. It's just that there were parts of the article that were unclear and I thought needed citations, in accord with Wikipedia policies.

I do agree that a message on the talk page would have been appreciated, so I apologize for that. You'll notice that I have now posted a message on the talk page here.

Jenna Fischer

I reverted your image change on Jenna Fischer. Please see the article's talk page for my rationale behind doing so. Thanks. -- RG ² 20:04, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

hmmm

cleaning my page was for maintaining an organized/clean page... I have had this account for a while, but have only edited on and off. I wasn't aware that deleting messages intended for myself was censorship, especially considering revision histories exist.Jim 06:18, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Simple Plan*

Spoke with David, for your info. Prepare to be made very happy, this month. But I can't tell you why.--Wehwalt 00:31, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also FYI, someone started an article Third Simple Plan studio CD. There was a bogus (I assume) track listing that caused consternation over at Simple Plan Online. I've deleted that. We might as well rename it with the name of the CD when it is announced. In the meantime, please monitor it with me. That editor Alexwhatever, who can't spell and doesn't know grammar, has been having at it.--Wehwalt 12:36, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My Userpage - A mess

I'm trying to put my newly earned barnstar the way some administrators but their mops on the top right of their uesrpages (above the line). However, as you can see (at least on IE), my userpage has turned into a mess. Can someone please fix this? — Ian Lee (Talk) 01:05, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I put it up for you, using the code from {{pp-semi-template}} as a base.--Werdan7^{T @} 01:37, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More SP

The release of the single has sparked a ton of fannish and/or inaccurate edits on the various articles. I suspect we will need to be vigilant at least thru February.--Wehwalt 14:01, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I took some live shots Saturday from the photo pit, I hope one of them is good enough to replace the existing photo, but I probably won't get around it until the weekend (I need a new camera cable).--Wehwalt (talk) 12:25, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What you said about advancing SP to GA

Let's give some thought about how to do this. Obviously, we'd lose a lot of material we can't source, but we could probably avoid losing the material by throwing it into the individual album articles. But there are enough RS out there we should be able to make a GA out of it. And advancing the article may be our best protection against the emoheads, especially if we can make it a FA (though I'm rather doubtful the sources are there). Having been through three FAC's, I know images are often a huge headache, at least we wouldn't have to worry about THAT. I don't expect this to be an easy process, by the way, there is a reason few bands (and generally those are older bands) make FA.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:22, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
