Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Vista Chino, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Garcia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Queensrÿche

edit

Hey man, thanks for your great edits around Queensrÿche the past couple of months. I've been watching your work, and I'm happy to know others are around to collaborate with. Your edits are always an improvement. Also, I found your hilarious vandalism section great fun! :-P Keep up the good work man! --Eddyspeeder (talk) 20:00, 3 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Nice job on Frequency Unknown! It's always helpful to write texts together; everyone has their strengths and weaknesses and everyone looks at it from a different perspective. It's a great improvement. Can I invite you to also go over the article on the self-titled Queensrÿche some time? I'm trying to get both articles up to standard, hopefully to get them classified as Good Article at some point ;-) --Eddyspeeder (talk) 19:18, 17 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Haha well to be honest, I just glanced at your profile's index and saw the words "vandalism" and "hilarious" tied together in a sentence, which I don't see too often. I've actually left the bit about leaving up there, because outside of having made Queensrÿche a "project" of sorts, I don't see myself staying outside of that. There are many things I definitely don't do anymore, and I've become fairly careless about if a moderator decides to be a jerk. I decided to leave after things just started building up, and then at some point I think everyone will know what's the straw that broke the camel's back. I try to counter the negative atmosphere by being nice, give compliments were compliments are due, etc. By the way, did you notice your recent major contribution to the Queensrÿche album page got reverted?... --Eddyspeeder (talk) 06:15, 18 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Small update: I've managed to salvage the edits you've made, so they're back up. They were (as always) very good, so thanks! The only place where I went a different path, was with the "Reception" section. I had the sudden inspiration to remove all sentences that either praised Todd or referred to how it sounds like the classics; the intro text already says that (I also have your improvement on that text to thank for it, as it now says it even more clearly). That cleared up a lot of the rubble. --Eddyspeeder (talk) 09:28, 18 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Your latest edit at Frequency Unknown had me thinking it was probably ready for a good reassessment. Get ready to smile: Talk:Frequency Unknown ;-) --Eddyspeeder (talk) 19:41, 19 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Haha, yep, I had already fixed most of the quotes by the time you wrote me a message, with just one edit to make after I had dinner :-D Thanks for your other work though, on Todd La Torre's page and the way you tackled the Frequency Unknown page, which looks great! I'll get back to improving that one after the Queensrÿche page has at least everything on it that it should have. --Eddyspeeder (talk) 08:07, 27 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Gotta say, dude, I'm impressed with the way you've created Rising West and the 2012 Queensrÿche split. Good research, especially the latter one contains some quotes that are extremely valuable and which I just hadn't come across yet. Very cool man, kudos! --Eddyspeeder (talk) 13:43, 20 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

13 (Black Sabbath album)

edit

Hi. Per Template:Infobox album, we use the Duration template in the Length parameter of the infobox. I have restored it at 13 (Black Sabbath album). I also removed a bunch of unnecessary wording you threw in, as it just made sentences too long (that Bob Dylan thing is already hard enough to read, and its inclusion is questionable anyway), and/or repeated information already given.

Thank you for fixing the track listing headline for the bonus edition and making it say "disc". MrMoustacheMM (talk) 20:03, 19 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Your user page

edit

I too often find some of the vandalism that takes place here humorous; sometimes even hilarious. But reprinting these edits word-for-word on your user page presents some problems. First of all, it just isn't a good idea (see WP:BEANS). That alone probably wouldn't be enough for anyone to force you to remove it, as, within reason, users are generally permitted to decide what to put on pages in their own userspace. However, a lot of these edits violate WP:BLP, a non-negotiable policy that applies to each and every Wikipedia page. And a lot of other edits about deceased persons, while technically not BLP-vios, are such egregious vandalism of biography articles that they should still be removed. Please give serious consideration to this. Regards. Joefromrandb (talk) 01:31, 20 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Having gotten no response, I was obligated to remove it myself, along with your own comments about Jo Frost. Please do not put it back. Joefromrandb (talk) 01:32, 21 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Queensrÿche

edit

Hi mate, thanks for your comment. I agree with you on this being a bit out of balance (or at least seeming to be that way). Great of you to bring it up. Let's discuss it for a minute, I'm open for different views. And also, let's broaden the view here by looking at the entire 'Queensrÿche split, legal proceedings, and future of the band (2012–present)" section. An experienced editor advised me the below. I think it is good advice. I been pondering this and am still pondering how to do that. I think it makes sense to start a separate article on the breakup, to restore the article's flow:

Secondly, if I look critically at the "with La Torre" section, all three top paragraphs are about Rising West. I do see that Rising West is an important "side project" that the band did, because it later became one version of Queensrÿche, but in reality the Rising West stage does not equal Queensrÿche with La Torre (despite the band members being the same). Those three paragraphs could be moved out to its own article as well, drastically shortening that section and making it more balanced-out with the "with Tate" version.

So thinking about your comment and combining it with the comment quoted above, I would suggest starting two new articles: one on the breakup, one on Rising West. Whatever goes there will then largely be removed from Queensrÿche's main page, which both improves the flow and balances out things. (In addition, a separate Rising West page probably will also shorten the articles on La Torre and the 2013 self-titled album. What do you think? Again, I agree that changing things up in that section is good and I'm open for different ideas, I'm just throwing something out there. :-) --Eddyspeeder (talk) 23:04, 23 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Deletion proposal of Rising West

edit

Hi, just wanted to inform you about the discussion on Talk:Rising West about the notability of the Rising West page. I completely forgot that you were originally the one moving the page, and only saw it after moving the text back into the Queensrÿche page that it was made by you (because if you propose to delete a page made by yourself, you need a different tag). Apologies for that, but please join the discussion about whether we can remove the Rising West page. The deletion proposal is already up, and reads: Per discussion on Talk page, despite that this article is well-written, the course of history doesn't make Rising West a sufficiently notable subject to warrant its own page. All relevant information has been merged back into the relevant section on Queensrÿche. Best regards, Eddyspeeder (talk) 14:16, 11 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
