Hello, I'd lean towards that it doesn't deserve it's own article as I'd imagine it's just them releasing their own material. I haven't checked, but if there is information out there about the label, it could probably be fit into the Garbage article itself. Namely because it doesn't sound like the label would be outside the interest of anyone interested in the band, y'know? :) Andrzejbanas ( talk) 11:41, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
I know I didn't contribute much to the genre discussion (think arguments that big intimidate me, specially when I don't know what can I say!), but I see you've edited some articles by the band, including the albums that I've been regularly postponing to work before the GA process. Thus I wonder if you could take a look at The World Is Not Enough (song), see what needs a prose cleanup before I try featuring it on the main page (it was released 15 years ago, the star is on the article since 2007, it could have a chance!). igordebraga ≠ 18:27, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
Well, for starters, unsourced phrases are a no-go. igordebraga ≠ 01:54, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
It could be nice to improve those articles (which
Breakinguptheguy made sure to provide some foundation), specially to maybe complete a full Garbage studio albums good topic this year. I just hope reviews don't take as long as
my last attempt.

I want to apologise unreservedly for the unseemly tit-for-tat squabble we fell into on the Talk:Pop music page. Intelligence is such a rare commodity that those who have it should not waste it attacking each other - we both seek the same goal, after all: the improvement and refinement of this body of knowledge. I withdraw any accusations against you, whether deliberate or not, and I entirely recognise your right to disagree with my point of view and to express your opinion in any way you see fit. For my part, I take no personal offence at any comments you made about me and I hope we can continue to work together on this great project without ill feeling. Btljs ( talk) 12:08, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
You recently made various changes to Taylor Swift's page claiming she is not a singer-songwriter, why is that? I am interested in your opinion as she does write, compose, and perform many of her songs. She is not just a pop singer. Qwertyasdwek ( talk) 01:04, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
Should the High School Nation Tour be mentioned in Ready, Steady, Go! (album)? http://www.highschoolnation.org/#!events/c1zy6 -- Joseph Prasad ( talk) 02:56, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
Another question. Source #2 talks about how many albums were sold in the first week, 2000 copies. How do I use a ref name, due to it already being used in the body of the article?
Regarding a recent edit I made on The Maze Runner. A previous editor used a semi-colon incorrectly by having an independent clause coupled with a subordinate clause. A semi-colon connects two "independent" clauses. I hope that clears up the confusion. PNW Raven PNW Raven ( talk)
Round one of the 2015 WikiCup has begun! So far we've had around 80 signups, which close on February 5. If you have not already signed up and want to do so, then you can add your name here. There have been changes to to several of the points scores for various categories, and the addition of Peer Reviews for the first time. These will work in the same manner as Good Article Reviews, and all of the changes are summarised here.
Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round, and one of the new changes this year is that all scores must be claimed within two weeks of an article's promotion or appearance, so don't forget to add them to your submissions pages! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on
Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Hello Lapadite--I understand you are unhappy with my close of the Dan56 thread on ANI. If you are, please communicate that on-wiki, not via email; it is not a matter that requires privacy. Second, I don't understand your problem, really: "Is there a reason why you stated 'topic ban not granted' and the thread closed when no 'ruling' has been made?" Well, the ruling is that no topic ban is granted, for the very simple reason that there is no consensus to grant a topic ban. You are welcome to find another experienced editor (doesn't need to be an admin) to re-evaluate and maybe close differently ( Cunard wstaleill be pleased, no doubt, to help you find one), but I doubt that a. you're going to find another person willing to touch that with a ten-foot pole and b. you'll find someone who will decide differently, since besides you no one else wanted Dan banned. The closest was Spike Wilbury, whose proposal didn't gain much traction (and Spike, if you are watching this, proposing that within this mammoth thread meant it was likely to fail). So I think it is time to drop that stick, which you'd been swinging for almost three weeks.
In other news, I saw you templated Materialscientist. Please don't do that: templating an experienced editor for removing unverified BLP information is really dickish, and to tell them "Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits", when they have a million edits, well. Thank you. Drmies ( talk) 15:20, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
"editors are frustrated at the community's inability to handle troublesome situations" - no kidding. But we're in the wrong for bringing up issues admins don't care, are too lazy or biased to deal with and actually do something about. Lapadite ( talk) 07:45, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. 64 competitors made it into this round, and are now broken into eight groups of eight. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups. Round 1 saw some interesting work on some very important articles, with the round leader Freikorp ( submissions) owing most of his 622 points scored to a Featured Article on the 2001 film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within which qualified for a times-two multiplier. This is a higher score than in previous years, as Godot13 ( submissions) had 500 points in 2014 at the end of round 1, and our very own judge, Sturmvogel_66 ( submissions) led round 1 with 601 points in 2013.
In addition to Freikorp's work, some other important articles and pictures were improved during round one, here's a snapshot of a few of them:

Hello, I am soliciting comments for an RfC that is currently open on the "Glengarry Glen Ross (film)" page. There is disagreement about where the film was set (New York vs. Chicago).
One of the issues is whether it is original research to cite to elements in the film itself (including props, dialogue, and a statement in the end credits that it was "filmed on location in New York City") to establish setting.
Response so far in the RfC has been mixed. Comments welcome! Xanthis ( talk) 14:10, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. 64 competitors made it into this round, and are now broken into eight groups of eight. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups. Round 1 saw some interesting work on some very important articles, with the round leader Freikorp ( submissions) owing most of his 622 points scored to a Featured Article on the 2001 film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within which qualified for a times-two multiplier. This is a higher score than in previous years, as Godot13 ( submissions) had 500 points in 2014 at the end of round 1, and our very own judge, Sturmvogel_66 ( submissions) led round 1 with 601 points in 2013.
In addition to Freikorp's work, some other important articles and pictures were improved during round one, here's a snapshot of a few of them:

Hello, I am soliciting comments for an RfC that is currently open on the "Glengarry Glen Ross (film)" page. There is disagreement about where the film was set (New York vs. Chicago).
One of the issues is whether it is original research to cite to elements in the film itself (including props, dialogue, and a statement in the end credits that it was "filmed on location in New York City") to establish setting.
Response so far in the RfC has been mixed. Comments welcome! Xanthis ( talk) 14:10, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Please see WP:TAGBOMB and WP:OVERTAG. Adding a cleanup template after every sentence is not only redundant but ugly as hell. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 21:30, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
