Hacks
Kiefer...I didn't say "corporate hacks" in the deletion discussion...I mentioned it on Jimbo's yap page. I don't think this website should endorse, assist, even encourage those editors or companies to openly edit our articles...hence my opposition at the Afd...which is related but a tad different than the comment at made at Jimbo~'s sidebar.MONGO 16:51, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hi MONGO!
- Please accept my apologies if I mis-represented you. I think I said something similar on Wales's page and may have just copied it.
- Best regards, Kiefer.Wolfowitz 23:16, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
- Oh no, I said it...just not over the precise same thing...no biggie.--MONGO 00:22, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

DYK nomination seeks reviewer
- Thanks for thinking of me Kiefer; however, I no longer get involved in DYK. My memory of it, though, was that it was fairly easy to get an article listed. You nominate it, and then leave it. Provided you have met the criteria, it gets listed, and there are rarely any questions or extra work to do. Good luck! SilkTork ✔Tea time 16:27, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
- You are right, of course.
- I thought with 10 KC edits, you might find it fun. :)
- Now that I think of it, I probably didn't need to write Santa Claus either, because I met the criteria then too!

- Hi Geometry guy!
- "Insist" is too strong, I agree. The article's "eschew" sounds like the writing of a student who has been preparing for SATs. We can do better! Kiefer.Wolfowitz 23:46, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

P J Crook
Thanks for the kind words. I have been somewhat of an advocate for acknowledging album cover artists, and tried to petition to have the template infobox album include a line for cover artist (it was rejected). i have created categories for both the fair use images of albums by artist, and for the albums themselves, as you can see with Category:Albums with cover art by Mati Klarwein. I like the idea of linking the fair use image categories and album categories in this manner, and will likely create such a category for king crimson albums with covers by her. ive also done this for book jacket artists, such as Category:Book covers by Richard M. Powers. I feel your category for Crook is appropriate, and said so at the proposal discussion. Seriously, though, dont worry so much about any possible bad/ignorant intent from other editors (which i dont see). stating your case and refuting others cases with examples, rationales, should be enough. wikipeace.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 21:12, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hello!
- Crook is an interesting case. I suppose her other art should be covered, but her only mention is in the KC articles.
- My time constraints and unmet sleep needs made me irritable the last few days. I don't doubt that the efforts at categorizing are well intentioned, but I think that the "don't template the regulars" advice should guide Twinkle-happy gnomes. They should have to check a box stating that they have read the lede of an article before they suggest moving articles and recategorizing things; they should be pushed to write informative edit summaries and they should be pushed to write on user talk pages, by Twinkle probably.
- Best regards, Kiefer.Wolfowitz 00:18, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

- Justin, you seem to be turning up here an awful lot with these things. Is this just pure coincidence, or something more sinister? Pesky (talk) 21:29, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
- @Justin/Koafv,
- Thanks for the polite message.
- @TPC,
- Justin does a lot of work on categories, and so he leaves messages on a lot of editors' pages.
- I was irritated with what I thought was a dogmatic and disrespectful attitude towards the BLP periodization (Roger J-B Wets and P J Crook), but I've seen that Jason has some expertise and does get his hands dirty properly categorizing things. (I probably should not edit when I've been traveling and helping people move during the weekend before a week of deadlines: I was pretty crabby a few days ago.) So my security forces have been told just to follow Koafv around, but not to intervene and certainly to use no force. ;)
- I would favor scrapping UK and American rock categories, as essentially being non-informative. Lists of bands in other countries may be interesting. Pigeonholing King Crimson or The Pretenders as "English" or "British--American" seems like a distraction of no interest to anybody.
- I was glad to read that you have an appointment scheduled. If I were you, I might have tried psychic surgery or slept beneath a crystal pyramid to get some relief. Good luck! Kiefer.Wolfowitz 21:43, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
- I probably don't notice how much Justin gets around, as I don't watch vast numbers of talk pages (despite what my watchlist tells me!), and I hardly ever get involved in XfD discussions or cat. discussions, ever. So I suppose I was just doing that quasi-maternal thing (sorry, can't help it, comes of having had kids, grandkids, nurturing livestock, and all that! I'm afraid it's a bit ingrained after so many decades!) It's reassuring to know that Justin isn't picking on you, particularly. I had gathered that you'd been a bit crabby (can't think how I noticed, lol!) Just to freak you out nicely, you remember that little discussion you and I had about waveforms and so on? – I was kinda expecting another bout of crabbiness around now ... ;P I would certainly have been burned / hanged as a witch not long ago! Unless, of course, I'd made myself utterly irreplaceable in my local community to the extent where nothing would have tempted them to get rid of me. Sometimes I see what you've written, and am an unsure whether you should be given a chill pill, one of these from Tesco!, some nice 'shrooms-on-toast, Forest-style, or whether the eight-foot plaited leather bull-whip, applied judiciously, would be better! All done with great affection, of course. And the black leather gear, thigh-length boots, and dominatrix evil grin ;P Pesky (talk) 12:08, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

- I hope I'm not too tiresome for you! It's not the pointing-out-of-falsehoods which is likely to make people splat you with links, so much as the adding of descriptors like "fatuous". One of my suggestions over at WT:CIV is "Someone may very well be an idiot. But telling them so is neither going to increase their intelligence nor improve your ability to communicate with them."
I'm making a wild guesstimate as to the region of your IQ (or whichever other measurement suits your fancy), but I'd hazard a guess that, compared to you, the vast majority of the human race are stupid. That's just the way it goes, if you're well above average. And they can't help it. Geniuses have to be cautious about mocking the comparatively-afflicted ;P As per your question, not having looked at them, I have no idea. Pesky (talk) 12:55, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
- It was fatuous bluster. I overlook mistakes, of course. But if somebody---negligent in effort and empty of knowledge but posing with authority---is bullshitting on the topic of conversation, which already is a subject of debate, then that person's behavior deserves brief but pointed remonstration, particularly if the person is in a position of authority and public trust.

- It did not help that P J Crook shall be moved to P. J. Crook, despite WTT's discussion of reliable sources' favoring (or favouring) "PJ Crook". Our society and our references, e.g. Wikipedia, should show respect to genuine artists---most of whom are almost painfully sensitive. And she seems like a nice person from the little I know of her.... Kiefer.Wolfowitz 13:12, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

One of my suggestions over at WT:CIV is "Someone may very well be an idiot. But telling them so is neither going to increase their intelligence nor improve your ability to communicate with them."
Personally, I'm in agreement that the term / name used should be the precise one that artist themselves uses. What's more reliable than the artist themself? I've developed a kinda way of thinking about differences in speed, type, etc. of human cognition and thought-processing of all kinds; partly because I'm HFA, partly because I've professionally instructed people right through the range from severely mentally impaired through to real genius. If you imagine a room full of people, a third of whom are red-green colour-blind, a third of whom are blue-yellow colour-blind, and the remaining third can see only in monochrome, none of whom realise that there are things the others can't see, and getting annoyed and frustrated at the apparent arrogant and stubborn and obstructive stupidity of most of the rest ... there you have a close parallel. Autism-spectrum people can miss things which are blindingly obvious to a load of other people; non-autism spectrum completely lack the ability to see (with immense speed) non-obvious details which are overwhelmingly clear to the autism group, and the remaining third lag behind both groups and can't see what any of them are going on about, which means they must all be crazy ... I think the whole world is a bit like that. It's one of the biggest reasons why one shouldn't think of high-functioning autism as any kind of disability, it's just a huge difference in thought-processing. We can;t help it, and the non-auties can't help not seeing what we can see so clearly, either. That's just the way we are. Males can't help being males and females can't help being females; same kind of thing. It's not something we/they can actually change, no matter how much we might like to be able to. Shire horses don;t make good racers, and Thoroughbreds are totally useless at pulling two-ton drays.
If you just temprarily removed the word "fatuous" (and all its synonyms) from your WikiVocabulary, you'd probably get 75% fewer unwanted linky-reminders. Pesky (talk) 13:22, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Fripp was not face down in Folk City
Hi, I reverted your addition of the Robert Fripp template to The Roches (album). Although he produced and played some instruments on the album, it is not artistically his album and is not included in the discography of his template. A similar case can be made for Todd Rundgren, who has produced many more albums than are credited to him as an artist or as a member of a group.
-- J. Wong (talk) 22:18, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hi J. Wong!
- WP:RS: Please review the discussion of Fripp's production of The Roches in Eric Tamm's musical-biography, which is available on line at Robert Fripp. Tamm discusses Fripp's audio verité style, which also appeared in Peter Gabriel's 2nd album. Is there any similar (academic-musicological) reliable monograph on The Roches that discusses that album and dismisses Fripp's production as you have?
- WP:OR but fun: When a folk-singing friend played that album in my misspent youth (c. 1985), I exclaimed, "Wow, that sounds just like Robert Fripp". Can you name another song by the Roches that has anything like Fripp's guitar? (Your condescension "played some instruments" is ridiculous.)
- Mary Roche sings a bunch of songs on Fripp's Exposure album also. (The orgasmic climax has never been credited, to my knowledge.)
- Obviously, Todd Rundgren should be listed on Bat Out of Hell, given his famous contributions, including the one-take ad-libbed motorcycle guitar-solo (which are discussed by Meatloaf and his musical partner in an interesting documentary, btw).
- If you have not been struck dead by a bolt of thunder (or been decapitated by an Uncle Bonsai record moved by divine wrath) for profanely failing to show appropriate respect to both Robert Fripp and Todd Rundgren in one paragraph, ;) then I'd wish you'd reconsider. :)
- Sincerely, Kiefer.Wolfowitz 22:35, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
- Seriously, the third sentence of the article states "Robert Christgau praised Robert Fripp's production of "this witty, pretty music"[1]
- Seriously, the third sentence of the article states "Robert Christgau praised Robert Fripp's production of "this witty, pretty music"[1]
"Robert Fripp's austere production of this witty, pretty music not only abjures alien instrumentation but also plays up the quirks of the Roches' less-than-commanding voices and acoustic guitars. Thus it underscores their vulnerability and occasional desperation and counteracts their flirtations with the coy and the fey. The result is not a perfect record, but rather one whose imperfections are lovingly mitigated. Replete with memorable melodies, heartbreaking harmonies, wise words, and lotsa laffs. A"
- I submit that the Village Voice is not prejudiced against Folk City and its critic can be trusted if he focuses the review on Fripp's production, to an excessive extent imho and probably Fripp's too. I'll revert your revert, per the existing citation referencing. (No need to read Tamm.) Kiefer.Wolfowitz 22:44, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
- I think your edits give way too much undue credit to Fripp. No one is contesting that he produced the album nor made a major contribution to it as such; the links and citations are more than adequate for that (although the Tamm reference barely mentions the album). But your desire to include it among his other directly attributed artistic works is your point of view, which as editors we should strive to avoid. I have no doubt you believe the album should have been called Robert Fripp & The Roches, but it wasn't. I can accept your addition of more from the Christgau citation re Fripp's contribution, but your inclusion of the Tamm chapter and the Robert Fripp template are peripheral at best and lack any significant relevance to the article subject itself.
- -- J. Wong (talk) 15:28, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
- Dear editor J.wong:
- You should read what I twice wrote,
- "he focuses the review on Fripp's production, to an excessive extent imho", emboldening added 13:13, 16 March 2012 (UTC))
- above and in my edit summary.
- Then you should correct your
fatuous falsehoodssuboptimal statements. - You should have doubt, especially when you "have no doubt".
- Sincerely, Kiefer.Wolfowitz 15:30, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
More constructively: Like most articles on albums, The Roches has the attention span of an 8 year old kid with ADD suddenly deprived of Ritalin and nearly overdosed on Froot Loops. Why not add to the article something about the Roches? A sentence or two about Fripp seems okay, particularly because the audite veritee (or whatever French BS name it was called) seems to have been widely discussed, also for Fripp and for Gabriel 2.

Could you go through the WP:OTRS process so that there are no questions about the copyright status of the image? Calliopejen1 (talk) 15:02, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
OTRSI have fetchcomms' talk page on my watchlist, so I saw your request. It looks like VernoWhitney is the only one who responded thus far, and since you were specifically looking for him, obviously you should work with him. That being said, if for some reason VW can't handle the ticket in time for the image to hit the main page, feel free to hit me up. As VW said, it'd have to be done through the official ticketing system, although if you're really uncomfortable with that Mindspillage and Keegan (both OTRS admins) are usually on IRC, and you can head over there and ask them for advice.

A Navbox template for Robert Fripp
just goes to show that the being that has been called "this Fripp" has been a very, very mobile intelligent unit for some time.
I requested that a hero create the template, and Quibus, my Djinni, granted my (first?) wish! Kiefer.Wolfowitz 15:22, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
Some stroopwafels for you!
Thanks! It was fun to work on and I'm glad I could help. I'm not sure about two more wishes, although Djinni kinda has a nice ring to it... Is that an official Wiki title with perks? — Quibus (talk) 16:43, 14 March 2012 (UTC) |
- You did a really nice job on the Robert Fripp template! Thanks again! :)
- Cheers!
