Tonal Ecstasy

Hey, it looks like Tonal Ecstasy is up for deletion. In order to avoid this grim fate, you're going to have to demonstrate that Tonal Ecstasy qualifies under the notability guidelines laid out at WP:MUSIC. I'd advise you take a gander at Reverse Osmosis A Cappella, the Georgetown Phantoms, and other groups listed at the list of collegiate a cappella groups to see what passes as notability for a collegiate ensemble. Please let me know if you have any questions. JDoorj a m Talk 20:27, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A comment

It is important to keep a cool head, especially when responding to comments against you or your edits. Personal attacks and disruptive comments only escalate a situation; please keep calm and remember that action can be taken against other parties if necessary. Attacking another user back can only satisfy trolls or anger contributors and leads to general bad feeling. Please try to remain civil with your comments. Thanks!

Knocking (card game)

A tag has been placed on Knocking (card game), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. A1octopus 22:50, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redesign

I'm informing all of the members of The Smashing Pumpkins WikiProject that I recently redesigned and streamlined the WikiProject page (see here) based on Wikipedia:WikiProject Slayer and partially inspired by Wikipedia:WikiProject Alternative music. If anyone sees anything that needs tweaking, or if you think that the whole thing should be scrapped, say so here (btw, there's also an almost exact replica of what I'm telling you here at that location). Thanks, --Brandt Luke Zorn 01:12, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

helpme

whenever i view a wikipedia article on this computer it just appears as regular text; the navigation bar with the wikipedia logo on the left is gone... why did this happen and how do i get it back? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lord mortekai (talk • contribs)

Hello Lord mortekai. I have moved your question to the help desk to hopefully cast a wider net and get you some technical feedback. In the mean time, it might be a good idea to tell us what version of what web browser your using and on what platform. Also, have you made any changes to your skin settings through the "my preferences" link? Into The Fray ^T/C 00:36, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:ROBOTCITY BF3.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:ROBOTCITY BF3.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Hello!

I should add myself to that category. I'm also quite happy that I was able to respond to your message so quickly as I haven't been on wikipedia in a while, but I found an out-dated thing on the appjet article and decided that I must log in and fix it!

Smashing Pumpkins songs

The rationale for redirecting given songs is that they fail to meet the notability criteria. Also, voting is discouraged on Wikipedia. WesleyDodds (talk) 10:14, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

basically it's always good to invoke WP:BOLD. Discussion comes if bold edits are disputed. Otherwise if it were the other way around, nothing would get done. Also, merging/redirecting to parent articles is encouraged for articles not likely to expand beyond a stub. In regards to music articles, not every album requires an article for every song it contains, since the album page by its nature will discuss the music as a whole. Unless extremely notable (like for instance "Stairway to Heaven"), typically only songs released as singles get separate articles. WesleyDodds (talk) 05:24, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The presence of citations does not preclude merging relevant material into a parent article (in this case, Siamese Dream). There are precious little sources on these particular songs, and it's quite pointless to make editors click links to pages with only one or two paragraphs.

Nomination of Starla for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Starla is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Starla until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Lachlanusername (talk) 23:53, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
