Blessthefall

You warned me, even though I corrected wrong information on their page. Blessthefall is not screamo. Screamo is described as bands such as Pg.99, Orchid (band), and Saetia. Blessthefall is post-hardcore.

p.s. What you said about Green Day being punk is completely retarded. They are clearly pop punk and VERY different from Crass in both sound and attitude. The musical elements of both are entirely different as well. I highly suggest you watch the documentary about Crass, titled There is No Authority But Yourself. Anyone who calls Green Day "punk" does not have the slightest idea about what punk is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.206.144.229 (talk) 20:45, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Paging Mr Chubbles

Hi Chubbles

I haven't seen you around recently, hope you are well and enjoying the holiday season.

We have a DRV ongoing [1] where some TLC and help with sourcing from someone who is good at alternative music might be able to help greatly. Any chance you could have a look and see what sourcing you can come up with?

Cheers Spartaz ^Humbug! 07:10, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I too hope all is well. I cited you at DRV here and am looking forward to seeing what you are up to next. -- Suntag ☼ 18:24, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My post at DRV wasn't a request for your involvement in writing Love Systems. It was a message to Coaster7 that if s/he continues on a path of rescuing troubled articles, s/he could become another noted article rescuer, like Chubbles. : ) Good to hear that all is well with you. -- Suntag ☼ 13:15, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Chubbles, I am trying to clean up the entry on Robert deMaine, classical cellist, and would appreciate any help and advice you might offer. You have my immense gratitude for any assistance! Mr. deMaine's niece, while well-meaning, has edited the article ad nauseam under the moniker 'rdemaine.' Mr. deMaine would rather have the article completely deleted than to have this version in cyberspace. Regards, Fgrabowska (talk) 21:36, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for record labels?

I've been wanting to write an article on a record label for a few weeks now (wanting meaning I haven't put any effort into it... yet) and I was just wondering if you knew any good places to search for sources about one. Google is so far being... Somewhat less than useful. Cheers, man. lifebaka++ 19:30, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The label, Locomotive Records, produces a lot of power metal, thrash metal, as well as some epic metal and other hardcore genres. They've been active for the past 11-12 years, and started in Madrid, Spain. Thanks for your help, and sorry it took me a while to respond. lifebaka++ 18:48, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, I did most of the article on The Gufs. That's not why I gave you the barnstar! Like I said I noticed that you started A'Me Lorain's article (I heard her song on Sirius radio today).

Tragic Hero Records

Just curious, why do you think this label needs an article? There are only a small handful of bands that are/were signed to Tragic Hero Records with articles on wikipedia. Fezmar9 (talk) 18:03, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I read the article in Alternative Press - it was less of a full page article and more of a short seven question interview with the CEO. It was really only a half page since the top portion was just a picture of the CEO. I could try to get you a scan if you have seen it yourself quite yet. I know that this is a newly formed label (formed in 2005 according to the article) and it seems to have potential. Since, at this point, the label article would not be too much more than an intro, an infobox and a list of bands, and probably would not quite meet notability guidelines, there are a few other things you might be able to do. You could create category pages for Tragic Hero artists and/or Tragic Hero releases. You could also start an article for Tragic Hero Records as a user subpage and keep it there until it meets notability standards. I was thinking about doing that with a few upcoming artists myself. Fezmar9 (talk) 19:57, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If not busy, care to look at this list of potentially notable albums?

Hey there Chubbles. Was wondering if you would be kind enough to look at this list [2]. I am not asking you to create articles for all those albums (you do whatever you want!:) ) but I figured that since you are quite obviously a music buff/expert, you would be able to work out whether those 15 albums are notable enough to be placed as articles on Wikipedia or should just be mass redirected to each of the corresponding singers/bands. Cheers!Calaka (talk) 04:55, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That is fair enough. I guess some might argue that the album info (records sold, track listing etc.) can be just placed on the artists page (in a subsection) though (but then again, that should apply for albums of all artists, and not just the lesser known ones). Ah and don't worry about that (articles getting deleted). The article count for wikipedia is only going up (10 million by 2030?) and the quality will likewise follow. Do not get yourself down. I and I am sure much of the music community of Wikipedia would hate to lose an individual such as yourself. Cheers!Calaka (talk) 08:40, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Seriously? It's 2009 and this is still, and always has been, a redlink?"

Angst (U.S. band) Wiki entry

Hi Chubbles. First off, 'Thanks!' for caring enough to write something about the band Angst. That said, I had made some revisions, correcting and adding some info and noticed that you almost immediately changed my entries back to your original post, for the most part. I'm wanting to avoid a constant back & forth if possible, so I wanted to give you a heads up that I'll be changing some things back again (and adding things, now or later), as there are *HUGE* factual errors on the page. For example, Angst was NOT from Colorado, but San Francisco - the Instants and Angst were two different bands that shared members. How am I so certain of this? I was in the band(s)!

Anyway, again, thanks for your effort - I'm only trying to make what you started better!

The reason for removing "emo" and "screamo" from Alesana's page

GO look at wikipedia's own definitions for the genres. And the listed bands for screamo, you can tell that Alesana doesn't fit there. Plus, they were not sourced, so the Truth was is all I have to rely on —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.222.224.34 (talk) 04:05, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's definitions are not reliable sources. It is the nature of this project to be inconsistent and self-contradictory, since it is cobbled together by thousands of people with varying degrees of expertise. Regardless, Alesana plays screamo, among other things, and this is now sourced (though the whole business of sourcing genres, I would argue, is a waste of time). And there we are. It's phenomenally fatiguing to fight about this; you are one of thousands of people who repeatedly make genre changes to popular band pages.

If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. It's a content dispute, not vandalism. Onorem ♠Dil 17:21, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know of a templated warning for this situation, but "vandalism" warnings are for intentional disruption, not for silly arguments over which genre a band may or may not fit into. Unless there's a history of this particular editor repeatedly ignoring consensus on the issue, this is a simple content dispute. --Onorem ♠Dil 20:12, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for replying, I am working on a pet project that tracks hiphop and r&b musicians (and executives) there are few notable executives (award wining) as well as new artists that don't have wiki bios, but have song played on the radio.

Deletion Policy

Re: your message -

I have reviewed it. Obviously I believe them to be eligible for deletion. If I'm going about it improperly or if there is a specific instance of something I've proposed for deltion not meeting the criteria for deletion please be specific. Let me know and I'll be happy to correct it. I'd value the direct input anyway. What is it that I've tagged that is not eligible for deletion and why?

Thanks for the input. Etrangere (talk) 07:15, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

If I'm not mistaken: All Music is not a source considered to be impartial or of sufficient editorial quality. Do you disagree? Also: I don't think a DVD issued by the subject of an article - or their representatives is a valid source, nor is a web-site owned or operated by a band or it's representatives is an acceptable reference. Please refer to the following page:

Bee in the Bonnet

I have no issue with discourse between editors. I accept your comments though I think we disagree in general and that could be causing friction. I don't think Wikipedia should be the repository of every band you can think of. I think it's noble but redundant. Not every band who got a mention in the local rag should be given a page in an encyclopedia. It's clear music is your passion and you have extensive knowledge on the subject but it seems over-kill to put every band you can think of on Wikipedia even if it's a one sentence article. Don't you agree? Maybe you should actually develop articles beofre placing them on Wikipedia. That's what your sandbox is for. After a while the compulsive number of hapless entries is just turning the music project into static.

I disagree with using Allmusic as a source for citation. Yes - it's a valuable source of "information" but not a valuable source of editorial content. It therefore shouldn't be used to cite references. Also - I don't think a bands own web-site or a DVD should be cited.

Ultimately there is nothing I can do to curb your current zeal for maintaining and posting articles from bands at the local pub, but chances are I won't stop proposing many changes to them. I really have to ask you respectfully to improve the quality of your article citations and sources. Quality over quantity my friend.

By the way - you made a couple of good points in your comment to me. I'll improve my tagging of your articles with improvement templates that are more appropriate.

Edit Conflict

About me

This user has created a global account.

Re:

Well, it's unfortunate to hear that you have so little respect for what I use encyclopedias for. At the time I started, this project was woefully sparse on virtually every aspect of music I could think of - particularly jazz music, where thousands upon thousands of noted jazz musicians went unremarked upon. (This is still the case, but primarily for jazz musicians in non-English speaking countries; compare the German wiki's coverage in jazz.) I can't really see much merit in your argument that it's just cluttering things up or "overkill", since the same could be said for any subject - minor military figures or journalists, for instance.

Wiki still has yet to catch up even with major published music encyclopedias. The articles I write aren't on bar bands - though there are a few admitted bar bands I wish I could write articles about...but the ones I am writing on, I'm adding because they achieved some sort of recognition beyond the local pub.

I write stubs and don't often expand much upon them precisely because there was, and is, so much to do. I saw it as sort of planting seeds - creating a substrate for others, including anons (who can't write articles), to work on. Noting what was missing and definitively proving that it belonged here was the most efficient way to use my time. Why not quality and quantity, after all? I don't spend much time expanding things now because I am trying to stop being on this website so much.

As for DVDs, I think it depends on the material; Son Volt, for instance, released an album in 2005 with an additional DVD of interviews, and I think that's a fine resource. Were you referring to the DVD mentioned in The Cats? That's not really a source, more of a footnoted comment. Doesn't really matter to me if it's there or not, if it bugs you I don't mind you reformatting it or removing it. As for Allmusic - they have a raft of well-known authors (Richie Unterberger, Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Scott Yanow) and have published dozens of music encyclopedias. The site has long been accepted as a reliable source, and if you wish to contest that, you would probably want to start a centralized discussion somewhere. I'm happy to discuss issues with individual citations, if you think their information is wrong, but if you think the cite should be blackballed, well, I can't help you there.

Back to work, then...cheers Chubbles (talk) 18:59, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

...You're not really doing this, are you? I write this nice, long response to you, and find out when I'm done that you've gone and prodded a dozen articles on composers I wrote! This isn't a personal issue, and I don't want to make it one. Please, stop and think about what you are trying to accomplish here. Chubbles (talk) 19:02, 15 September 2009 (UTC)\[reply]

I am. You're right. It's not personal. Please improve the articles I've tagged for improvement, or wait until I or someone else does before removing the templates placed there. I'm not placing them there for giggles. The articles need to be improved. What's the problem with that? Did you really believe your one liners to be complete?

I don't have a lack of respect for you, or the gargantuan efforts you seem to have put in at Wikipedia. I think it's true that there are many articles that you've posted that needed posting. I also think there are many that you've posted that should be excluded. Having said that - I now have a better understanding of what you're trying to do = planting seeds. I must say though - you've planted many thousands: Maybe it's time to start expanding them.

I have to relent with regard to Allmusic. I'm able to accept it as a source of editorial content since you've made that point so well.

Don't get personal Chub. My article about a journalist and "minor" military figure is unfinished, and in my sandbox (for development). It's also well cited and sourced. Not to mention the fact that I hardly think a person who accomplished the things noted in the article (and yet to be noted) is comparable to a band from XYZ town who got mentioned in a local newspaper. What do you think? Do you think his accomplishments make him minor? Interesting.

Defensive aren't we?

There are only four things that a user shouldn't remove from their own talk page; declined {{unblock}} templates (while blocked), sockpuppetry templates, shared IP header templates, and {{MfD}} templates.

Well, IMO, if a user wants to remove their own unblock request (before it is acted upon) they should be allowed to. Anyway, I'm not trying to tell you off or anything, and I don't mind that you reverted, I'm simply letting you know my thoughts. By the way, I noticed after a cursory look at your contribs that you do a bit of vandalism removal, have you ever considered requesting WP:ROLLBACK? - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 16:12, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

question

I question the move of "The Shells" to the disambig page "Shell". There are from what I can see only two entities that are "The Shells". And one of those (the modern band) is much more searched for than the other (a band from 60 years ago). So I thought the way that it was before was appropriate. Certainly if any one band member is searched for, they would be a "Shell" ... so it is fine for "Shell" to have a reference to the bands at the bottom. But a search for "The Shells" should, if I understand correctly, lead to the band that is far-more-searched, with a link at the top to the band of lesser current interest. Thoughts?--Epeefleche (talk) 19:26, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I see that you also changed the name of the band from "modern" to "folk". I tnink that modern is the most helpful way to distinguish it from the band from 60 years ago. And "folk" is a mischaracterization -- if you wanted to go the long route I would suggest "pop/folk rock harmony trio" (perhaps harmony could be dropped). But "folk" clearly is not sufficient IMHO.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:24, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Chubbles, you're obviously a good and informed editor, however your biography articles are missing the major categorization of year of birth and living people (or year of death). Every biography article should have these at the very least. Beyond that, see Category:Artists by record label.
