Re: Compilation albums not included in chronologies

Yes, there is a policy that compilation albums should not be included in chronologies, but it is often disregarded, possibly because people don't know about it. I reverted to avoid aggravating the problem and to point out the policy. No, I don't personally plan to fix all other occurances. Have a nice day. --PEJL 09:05, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have a problem with my entries being corrected, if they are actually corrected. Reverting a wrong entry back to to a different wrong entry... well, let's just say it doesn't take me to my happy place. --Register allocation 21:00, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I didn't know that the old version was also incorrect, and had no reason to assume it was. If you know that it is incorrect, why don't you just correct it? --PEJL 21:07, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I assumed that since you were apparently familiar with a relatively obscure entry in Eno's catalog like Curiosities Vol. 2, you would also be aware of more well-known releases like Nerve Net (1992), The Shutov Assembly (1992), Neroli (1993), Spinner (1995), The Drop (1997), and Drawn From Life (2001), all of which have been released since Wrong Way Up. (1990). I didn't want to correct it before I fully understood why you just reverted to the old, broken version.

BTW, on what basis do you claim Curiosities Vol. 2 is a compilation album? Given your lack of familiarity with Eno's catalog, you will understand my reluctance to just take your word for it. --Register allocation 22:07, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you assumed wrong I'm afraid. In fact I am quite unfamiliar with Eno's catalog. I don't remember exactly but I think I assumed it might be a compilation album from the album title and looked it up and saw that it was listed as a compilation album. I was just trying to fix what appeared to be just another occurrence of a common mistake (listing the previous album including compilations as opposed to the previous album excluding compilations), and at the same time point out the policy for the benefit of those who may not have been aware of it. --PEJL 22:55, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm getting that. According to this page at enoshop.co.uk, both Curiosities volumes contain unreleased tracks. Unless you can provide an authoritative source that Curisoties Vol. 2 is a compilation album, that should be the legitimite previous album to Another Day on Earth. --Register allocation 23:40, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It might depend on how many of the tracks are previously unreleased. In my experience albums which contain more previously released tracks than previously unreleased tracks are mostly categorized as compilation albums on Wikipedia. --PEJL 00:46, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blah, blah, blah

I can't really figure out what the problem is here. The image uploading interface seems to indicate it's ok (via fair use) to upload pix of album covers. If it's not, 1) change the interface, and 2) delete them as necessary.

It is OK to upload images of album covers under Fair Use. What makes things difficult is that they must be tagged with a Fair Use Rationale for each article the image is used in, in addition to the Licensing template. Please see Image:JumpinJiveCover2.jpg for an example. -Freekee 04:31, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Summers-and-Fripp-I-Advance-Masked.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Summers-and-Fripp-I-Advance-Masked.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 18:50, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
