Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album

Hi, I was wondering what your original source was for the excellently detailed writing credits on this page? I am a writer and would love to be able to pin it down and investigate this line of enquiry more. Thanks! ~CrozBee, 00:43, 14 August 2014 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.0.105.29 (talk)

Articles about bands that do not assert the importance or significance of the band

Articles about bands that do not assert the importance or significance of the band, such as Entropy (US Band) can be deleted at any time per the speedy deletion criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag. Information on how to contest the deletion is provided in the tag. --Darth Deskana (Darth Talk) 22:06, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, deleting IfD notices from your user talk page only deletes the notices, not the request for deletion. You've basically just removed your only method of ensuring the image isn't deleted. --Darth Deskana (Darth Talk) 22:08, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chipmunk Punk

The proper place to note what tracks were on Chipmunk Punk is in the Chipmunk Punk article, with perhaps a brief mention in each song's article. Adding infoboxes (Also, I don't know that there is a way to protect infoboxes without protecting the whole article.) —tregoweth (talk) 01:19, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chipmunk Adventure

Even if the soundtrack utilizes punk/new wave the movie is still not about, or culturally related to, the punk movement. Wich is what the List of punk movies is about.

Laugh.com does have its own record label

Laugh.com does have their own record label.

Laugh.com is an online comedy record store. Their primary business is liscensing and selling CDs that are reissued on the Laugh.com record label.

How their record label works is like this:

An artist or group has an album that was recorded sometime in the past and has gone out of print.
Laugh.com locates the owner of the copyright and master tapes for that album and buys a liscense to reissue that album from them.
Laugh.com then reissues that album on the Laugh.com record label.

This is similar to how Mobile Fidelity also releases materials on their record label. Will1410 01:57, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I stand corrected. --What about a squirrel? 03:43, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chipmunk Punk on CD

Do you know if Chipmunk Punk is available on CD from anywhere other than the Chipmunks website? That might be worth noting in the article. (Also, I'll probably have to break down and order a copy, and relive a bit of my childhood... :) ) —tregoweth (talk) 18:26, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I know of. --Sk'py Skwrrrl 00:40, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Death penalty userbox

Hi. Firstly, the remark that you were complaining about was made by an anonymous vandal, not by myself. Secondly, I was not the original creator of that userbox, and had been merely archiving it. (Sugar Bear (talk) 01:38, 12 January 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Article Rescue Squadron invite

I wish I would have known about the Squadron years ago. It took me 3 years to find them. I had so many articles deleted before then.

There are some people who are rather unhelpful, whose major purpose on wikipedia is deleting other editor's contriubtions, and who tend to WP:bite new editors. Unfortunatly they are the face of wikipedia that many new editors first see. But the editors on Article Rescue Squadron are different. Ikip (talk) 21:42, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Sk'py Skwrrrl. You have been invited to join the Article Rescue Squadron, a collaborative effort to rescue articles from deletion if they can be improved through regular editing. For more information, please visit the project page, where you can >> join << and help rescue articles tagged for deletion and rescue. Ikip (talk) 21:42, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the Article Rescue Squad!

Articles tagged for deletion and rescue
Category Articles tagged for deletion and rescue not found

Hi, Sk'py Skwrrrl, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been tagged for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you.

And once again - Welcome! -- Banjeboi 15:56, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Squirrel, glad you joined, looking forward to your future work. I hope your article is saved by good sourcing. Notice the sources I added. Ikip (talk) 22:16, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain the inclusion of the Gimarc book as a reference in this edit? I have looked it up on Google Books [1] and it doesn't appear to support the article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:15, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:SSM cover.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:SSM cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 14:26, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Little Alvin and the Mini-Munks

Could you clarify what your source is for the claim that Rick Wright contributed uncredited lyrics to the Little Alvin and the Mini-Munks soundtrack CD? It'd also be helpful if you know anything about the alleged Chipmunks cover of his song "Remember A Day" -- any truth to that? Thanks! Goldenband (talk) 03:19, 20 October 2010 (UTC) The original source of both pieces of trivia was the U.S. Copyright Office's entry for the compositions in question.--What about a squirrel?

ABC - How to be a zillionaire image

Just wondering where you got this image/album from? Is it really out there? I haven't found any copies, links or mentions from any other sites (discogs/official site).. I have been collecting ABC since 1985 but have never come across it. Thanks for any help! User:negative1 11:59, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Found all three versions on eBay and bought them. Simple as that. --What about a squirrel? (talk) 22:55, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
thanks for the heads-up, i'll keep looking on ebay, still haven't come across it in the last several years though..

wish i contact you for a trade (i have tons of rare ABC stuff).. would love to hear the early versions of those tracks

let me know neg1sell@hotmail.com, later User:negative1 -08:59, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the information. User:negative1 -11:52, July 2011 (UTC)

Alvin Chipmunk

Please discuss at Talk:Alvin Chipmunk (cartoon character), preferably before taking any more unilateral action. Andrewa (talk) 23:17, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, please discuss your proposals before making any more unilateral moves to any pages at all. Your latest moves [2] [3] seem to achieve nothing other than each creating a double redirect. Neither was necessary to make way for a DAB page even had one been needed, and there's no need for a DAB anyway. Andrewa (talk) 11:17, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is if anyone other than Ross Bagdasarian, Jr., such as Justin Long, voices Alvin in the movies in spite of Ross Jr.'s ongoing recording career. Same for Steve Vining vs. Matthew Gray Gubler as Simon and Janice Karman vs. Jesse McCartney as Theodore. I do wish the editors of Wikipedia would default-set the main Chipmunk page to the Chipmunks as a recording entity and not the Chipmunks as an animated licensed property, such as yourself. --What about a squirrel? (talk) 22:15, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have replied where you cross-posted this. See Talk:Alvin Chipmunk (cartoon character)#Need for DAB. Andrewa (talk) 04:49, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
