Q-Tip

Hi ya Dan. I honestly think I don't have time to boost that one up to a GA status at the moment. It's a good album and deserves it, but with holidays and job hunting, I don't think I'll have time for an album I haven't really heard all the way through. Cheers! Andrzejbanas (talk) 03:50, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry Dan, it might be weird, but I don't edit here for "profit". But if you like, I will try to improve the article. Happy New Year! --Efe (talk) 07:16, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Seeing Sounds

Hey there Dan, I saw edits here in Seeing Sounds and I was wondering, is there a reason you replaced the reviews? The ones in place were fine as they were, and it throws the reception section completely off. DiverseMentality 02:09, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Untitled (How Does It Feel)

Hi, I am reviewing your article, Untitled (How Does It Feel), and have left a comment on Talk:Untitled (How Does It Feel)/GA2. It is an excellent article. You are a very good writer. Have you thought about submitting sometime one of your articles (like this one) to FAC: Featured article? (FAC is gruelling but enlightening and your article gets a star {{FA}} if your article passes. See the criteria:Wikipedia:Featured article criteria) Also, regarding you question about reliable sources, Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard is a very good place to ask and you will get good answers fast. Regards, —Mattisse (Talk) 22:13, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Although that source apparently is not good, someone gave you some advice about other sources for Brown Sugar (album) ww.musicguide.com a RS? —Mattisse (Talk) 01:34, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Whole Lotta Love

"Breakbeat samples"? is that a joke? The song was recorded live in the studio with overdubs for conga drums and vocal effects. There is no "sampling" on the recording. MegX (talk) 00:50, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Led Zeppelin II

The consensus on the main Talk page of Led Zeppelin was to move the allegations to the individual song articles. It was discussed sometime ago so, it would be buried in the talk archives if you do a search. MegX (talk) 01:05, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

If you can leave out that section, you have my 100% qualified support and backing for GA status. MegX (talk) 01:33, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Anyway nice to meet you. MegX (talk) 02:33, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, thanks. That's where I sourced most of the accolades from. The links there usually goes back to either the acclaimed forum or rocklists website. I'm wary though of adding too many. When article in the past have been nominated for FA, they tend to cut back on excessive trivial lists. MegX (talk) 23:35, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Zep II

All those quotes you added on my talk are sarcastic. I checked my copy of Hammer of the Gods (p. 102) today and it said "Rolling Stone ridiculed the album ..." before going on describe how the reviewer implied that Led Zeppelin II can only be appreciated if you're whacked out on mescaline/Vietnamese weed etc.

Another thing per Wikipedia's citation guideines, specific page numbers for that The Complete Guide to the Music of Led Zeppelin book need to be added. indopug (talk) 16:18, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Dr. Octagonecologyst

I appreciate your work on Dr. Octagonecologyst, but where does it say that the chronology section should only contain studio albums? Also, the image of Dr. Octagon doesn't fit in the article, as it was created for The Return of Dr. Octagon, without Thornton's input, and it also doesn't have a rationale for the Dr. Octagonecologyst article. As such, the free-licensed image of Thornton illustrates the section better. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 23:50, 18 February 2009 (UTC))

• Hi there. I was wondering about the citations to the Tower Records product page. Do you have the actual publications in which the reviews were published? It is better to cite those rather than a commercial website. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 00:28, 19 February 2009 (UTC))

Kool Keith template and discography page

I was taking a look at the Kool Keith template you created, and I was thinking that it might be a good idea to add the albums from his sideprojects - I had done the same with the Ice-T and Esham templates. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 01:42, 19 February 2009 (UTC))

• Also, would you be interested in creating a discography page? (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 03:28, 20 February 2009 (UTC))

Nah, I's busy on two other articles anyway

GAN for It Was Written

I've reviewed the article and left notes on the talk page. I've put the nomination on hold for seven days to allow the issues to be addressed. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, here, or on the article talk page with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.

Re: 808s and Heartbreak

To be honest, I have no idea where the image would fit. The image could be placed in the initial production section of the article but at the same time I can see problems of how to place the image in there and making it look pleasing to the eyes, if you know what I mean. Besides that, the 808s & Heartbreak article really looks great. Douglasr007 (talk) 05:01, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Oh. That info can be added to the background section as a further approach to stating the "the loss, loneliness and longing for companionship" concept of the album. Douglasr007 (talk) 05:32, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Phonorecord copyright

℗ is a sound recording copyright symbol which indicates the year a sound recording was first published. It will be the same on all reissues of a recording. As such, it is not a reliable indicator of the year of release of a record. In the case of "The Bottle", there is considerable doubt as to whether a "Vintage Champagne"-label release could possibly be an original issue. "Vintage" almost universally implies reissue. Plus we have a report that the Champagne mastering engineer recalls cutting the record in "the mid '80s." Discussion is taking place at Discogs, and erroneous release dates have been removed from some items there already. Please participate in that forum if you have any new info to offer. —mjb (talk) 01:15, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

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).

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (album)

Hi. While the article is quite good, and could be rated B, i find it lacking a "history" or "background" section, of course, that kind of section is often unnecessary for compilations albums, but i usually don`t give B ranking to articles with only one section of prose, other than that, only a genre category is missing.

You can always request an assessment, perhaps other member of the project will feel it a B. Zidane tribal (talk) 20:46, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

The Heat Is On (Isley Brothers album)

Hi

I rated B, but more categories would be good. Zidane tribal (talk) 15:47, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Cut and paste moves

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. — Σxplicit 06:44, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi

Hi Dan56, I just saw ur contributions list & I almost got amazed by how good & precise u r in editing. Great job. I'm new here but I would like to be a skilled contributor just like u one day. From ur edits I found out u r probably a big fan of Nas just like me. So I was thinking about why couldn't we collaborate to help improve some hip hop related articles like did with Nas albums for example I'm currently working on Rakim, his discography, his new upcoming album The Seventh Seal, and his new comeback single called Holy Are You. Can I ask u to help me a little bit on these articles by adding more info & finding more resources? Also If u want, check me out on YouTube (and don't get shocked if u come to my page because it's completely messed up & I'm making a new design for it soon! hope u get one soon!) Thanks a lot. -peace HipHopSavior (talk) 18:39, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Wow man you are really great, thanks a lot for giving me those sources. They helped a lot. Now I'm just focusing on using them in those Rakim-related articles. Thanks again.

I Look to You

Hi there! the way you edited the track listing format for I Look to You is too small. Please stop changing it! Thank u 4 your contributions. (MariAna Mimi 10:15, 5 September 2009 (UTC))

Please take a look at : Wikipedia:Albums#Review_sites to see which reviews are prefered to be added! Thank U.

Billboard mag, Slant mag, all the other magazines that are listed at the above link are prefered because they are professional music related magazines, they offer PROFESSIONAL reviews, not just simple newspapers, NY Times, LA Times are also important. When the album will be released in the UK , other reviews will appear as well. And from the very beginning u deleted the reviews that were there in the 1st place and added the ones that u believed that are good without giving any reason 4 that!!

Songs

Not that I know of. I don't work on too many song related articles. If you can't find the section, leave the song-rating blank and perhaps request it to be updated/reviewed at the wikiproject. Cheers. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:30, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

No problem. I've rated it a B-class! Great job on all the R&B and hip-hop albums you've worked on. I've read them all. Fantastic work! Andrzejbanas (talk) 05:12, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Rolling Stone

Hey Dan, I don't mind the additional Rolling Stone reviews from the Rolling Stone guide, but perhaps you should keep them to the review section. It's increasingly unclear to which reviews are from the book and which are from the original review. For example, the second Nas album received 2 stars on it's original release, and I'm assuming good faith that the rolling stone one has those updated ones...but it won't be clear to the average user. I'm changing some of these already, but there is still some work to be done. Thank you! Andrzejbanas (talk) 06:06, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

The Blueprint 3

Hi.

I would like to rate the article a B like most of the articles you submit to assessment, but, i can´t with out a proper personnel section, (i´m afraid the link is not enough) and you have to specify if the producer of the song is also the author, if not then the writter should be added.

hey please help to not delete the file because it's a great and meaningful picture. I can help if you need. JuventusGamer (talk) 11:40, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

I wrote a respond and he answered back this question: "What exactly does this non-free image of Nas in Queensbridge depict anything described in the paragraph? More importantly, what does this image do that a free image can't?" can you reply to this yourself? because I'm can't reply to his irrelevant and pointless questions again.

Reviews

I've updated some of those reviews. You might want to remove the producer credit from the one where Q-Tip produced everything as it's kind of over-stating the fact. Either remove them or leave a little message saying "All tracks produced by Q-Tip" at the top of the track listing. Also, I noticed you used discogs.com as a source in some areas. I'm not sure it's a valid source. I've brought this up at WP:Albums to check it out further. Feel free to add your two-cents to the situation. Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:38, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

The Soultronics (Reply)

Hi, sorry, I'm not on Wikipedia much anymore, so I hadn't seen your message.

While I would love to translate an article if someone asked me, there are 2 things bothering me: The first one is that the french article has absolutely no references. The only one there is nothing more than an obituary. Also, this is not one of my areas of expertise, so you'll have to proof read me :)

Finally, I won't have time to do wiki-related maintenance things like full wikiboxes, or project infoboxes, if you don't mind doing those? happypal (Talk | contribs) 14:15, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

There, it is done. It will need a bit of re-write by someone with more knowledge, and more interest, but the translation is done. The Soultronics. Enjoy. happypal (Talk | contribs) 14:57, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Done by the Forces of Nature

Hi.

The only thing missing was the authorship, is there now, so i`ll rate it B, a few more categories will be nice though. Zidane tribal (talk) 22:56, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Empire State of Mind

Hi.

I`ll rate it a B, but please add a track listing, even if it is only a song, it must be there, along wiht the authirship, wich is mentiones in the article, but still, just to meet the guidelines.

As for the future song articles, well, there`s the project songs, which is more for the singles, but certainly the albums project cover singles too, so there is no reason why you should`t just request as any other time.

If anything else comes up, don`t hesitate to ask. Zidane tribal (talk) 21:31, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

October 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. I have noticed that some of your recent genre changes have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend that you to seek consensus for certain edits. Thank you. Please do not remove sourced genre information and replace it with your own original research. Allmusic is a reliable source for genre information. Chasewc91 (talk) 13:01, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

If you continue your genre vandalism on articles such as 808s & Heartbreak, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Removing reliably-sourced genres and replacing them with your own original research is unacceptable behavior. Chasewc91 (talk) 20:25, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit and is especially useful when reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. (Lil-unique1 (talk) 03:31, 21 November 2009 (UTC))

Biggie Smalls

I was wondering if you by chance know how to upload photos from websites. The Notorious B.I.G. page looks kind of tacky with the graffiti picture as the main photo, and I've noticed that several pictures on Wikipedia are from this site, the Organized Konfusion page is one in particular that got there's from this source. Anyway, if you're interested/able to do this, the Biggie photo is in the "T" section (titled "THE Notorious B.I.G.") --Blastmaster11 (talk) 21:31, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

The Fame Monster

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a personal note: please be careful about some of the edits you make. Sometimes information you think can be edited has already been discussed and in some cases disallowed.

For instance, in this article, you went ahead and removed the Alt info from the infobox, which is necessary for any whose browser cannot view images or who choose not to view images (yes, there are some; 56k still exists). Also, around the bonus track detail areas in the track listing, you placed two <small> tags (both sections, I mean) that I personally took out yesterday as they were unnecessary and did not look good; the title of such a listing should be the same size, at least from the first letter, for each successive entry and clarifying text can then be shrunk afterwards (such as "Disc 1 (Contemporary)"). Further, you added Digital Spy as a review. We do not use Digital Spy as a valid reviewer of articles.

Please feel free to contact me with any further questions. Thank you. CycloneGU (talk) 02:19, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you delete or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did to The Fame Monster, you will be blocked from editing. This is as per the unacceptable edit you made --Legolas ^(talk2me) 04:11, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Rated R (Rihanna album)

Please be aware of WP:3RR - can you discuss the issues on the articles talk page please. Pedro :  Chat  21:10, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the note. I have given the other editor a warning. I really don't care about the article (I saw it on recent changes and have no POV) - but the revert war is not acceptable and we don't want to see anyone blocked, so a discussion on the articles talk is the way forward IMHO Pedro :  Chat  21:17, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Album reviews placement

Hi there Dan, I noticed your edit here adding a review in the infobox of The Element of Freedom. I'd like to point out that placing reviews in the infobox is now a deprecated practice. Reviews are now placed in a the "critical reception" area of the article using the {{Album ratings}} template. More information regarding the issue may be found here.

RE:

That's a lie, and I added the references first, so you do not have the right to change justifying their bias. You can revert as many times as you want, do the same, plus you in the "Music" said the album is primarily pop and is not. The singer herself has said he is hip hop and rock. Vitorvicentevalente (talk) 22:53, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

And stop to say that she is a singer R&B and pop because according to her article is "R&B, reggae and pop". Vitorvicentevalente (talk) 22:58, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

You can revert as many times as you want, I will not let that be as you want. Vitorvicentevalente (talk) 22:22, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Rated R genre

Yes I agree with u 100% also, Allmusic states the same thing the album is Pop/R&B rock & hip-hop are only some influences. It is clear that we are dealing with some "big fan" of hers who is convinced that the album is rock and hip-hop, i'm glad that he/she doesn't think that it's hard rock or metal or who knows what....LOL. & yes this must be stopped because it's not helping the article at all!

December 2009

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Deeper Than Rap. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. and Rated R (Rihanna album) Gerardw (talk) 23:29, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
