Hi, Ritchie. There's a problem with the page. Genre in the infobox is pop from cite, however, it is from the book that Chris Ingram wrote "Lennon's touching 'If I Fell'..."

Greetings, Richie. Please allow me to explain why WP:INTDABLINK is necessary, even though it may look "silly" to you. Per the language set forth at Wikipedia:Disambiguation:
Links to disambiguation pages from mainspace are typically errors. In order to find and fix those errors, disambiguators generate a wide array of reports of links needing to be checked and fixed. Because these reports can not distinguish instances where an editor has made such a link with the intent to point to the disambiguation page, the community adopted the policy of rerouting all intentional disambiguation links in mainspace through "Foo (disambiguation)" redirects. This makes it clear that such links are intended to point to the disambiguation page.
Our disambiguators are battling a never-ending tide of hundreds of thousands of disambiguation links needing to be fixed. By appropriately tagging intentional links to disambiguation pages, we save disambiguators the trouble of checking the same links over and over again to see if there is an error needing to be fixed, and we make it clear to the reader that the page to which they are going when they click the link is a disambiguation page. Because it is so important to tag these links correctly, this is one of the few items at Wikipedia:Disambiguation that has been adopted as policy, and not merely a guideline. Please note also that your reversion of my edit was itself immediately reverted by a bot which has been authorized to carry out exactly this task.
I would therefore ask that in the future you not revert changes that conform intentional disambiguation links to this policy. In fact, if you come across a [[Foo]] link that intentionally points to a disambiguation page, it would be a great help if you would change this to a [[Foo (disambiguation)]] link, or a [[Foo (disambiguation)|Foo]] link; if it occurs in a hatnote such as {{for|other uses|Foo}}, you can change this to{{for|other uses|Foo (disambiguation)}} or {{for|other uses|Foo (disambiguation){{!}}Foo}}, the latter of which will leave the appearance to the reader the same, as the bot did at Tommy (album).
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about this policy. Cheers! bd2412 T 12:47, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

You helped defend the page FundersClub for me. People that mark for speedy deletion make it truly so difficult to get any content up. I won't deny that it feels like sometimes the moderator status is abused because there is so much content that Wiki gets spammed with. Would you mind if I asked why he would have marked it for speedy deletion? It is because my account isn't older than the internet? Is it because I don't post 30 times a day and 7 days a week? I am just curious. Thank again!-- DemetriusGiannopoulos ( talk) 13:25, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
You play the guitar right? Or piano? Check out the lines on this. Insanely difficult to learn on guitar.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:47, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
Love your singer!! I'd love to play in a band with her!! Berklee jazz guitarist graduates are usually the most intimidating ones. Kurt Rosenwinkel for instance. Just when you think you're getting good at guitar you'll hear a Martino or Rosenwinkel performance and you go back to feeling like a basic guitarist who knows bugger all again!! Some of these jazz masters play at a impossibly high level... It makes me wonder how they became so good with such an endless arrangement of ideas. It's more than practice, to have that sort of huge jazz vocabulary comes down to serious applied learning and study every day for decades. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:56, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Greetings... I appreciate your feedback. I am gathering that editing the existing page for Mr. Foist is more desirable than trying to resubmit the one that I created. It seems absurd that so much of the content on Wiki is 'subjective' - for instance, a page on former breaking benjamin drummer, Chad Szlinga is free form conversational through much of it with no cited references on a good part of it, talking about rumors, being the self appointed goodwill ambassador during Ben Burnley's illness - yet no documented evidence via any 'reliable sources' to substantiate various claims. It reads like a personal opinion about one's self vs. a document in the third person. Also, with links going to non-existent or removed content, it appears to be a page that should be flagged for serious errors - yet it stands with no questions for review - which can only lead one to believe that there are different sets of rules for different 'noted individuals' on Wikipedia. For those of us who actually have to work really hard at what we do for our artists, which means doing as much as possible in a WYSIWYG manner, the convoluted HTML hell that IS Wikipedia is a pure nightmare for those of us who legitimately need to have these things in place for our noted artists - and have little to no time learning the in's and out's of this platform. So basically - color me frustrated. I spent weeks on the content I submitted - all for nothing. I don't even know where to go from here - and don't have much if any time left to go through this painful experience again. Thank you for permitting the space to vent - I can't believe I am alone in this WikiTruthTime ( talk) 23:44, 25 September 2014 (UTC) WikiTruthTime

As we move into the middle of Round 1, we wanted to report some of the lessons we've learned thus far, as well as announce a major rule change going into Round 2, which begins November 1. Remember, sign-ups for this year's Cup ends on September 15. Thus far, we're very happy with the results of the competition. One of our major goals, reducing the long backlog at GAN, is well on the way to being accomplished, mostly due to the enthusiastic efforts of Jonas Vinther, who has earned over 250 points. Over 80 reviews have been made thus far. Thank you all for your efforts and for your part in making the GA Cup a success. However, this is the inaugural year of the GA Cup, so there have been some unforeseen circumstances that have come up. One has been a glaring inadequacy with the rules, which the judges feel makes the competition unfair. As a result, there will be a major change in the rules, starting at the beginning of Round 2:
What this means is that you must provide some feedback to the article's nominator, and must wait for him or her to respond before passing the article. If the nominator has not responded in the standard 7 days, you can fail the article. We're instituting this rule change to prevent the possibility of competitors passing articles for the sake of passing articles (or failing them) and to gain more points. We believe that the change will make it more fair to all competitors in the GA Cup. Also, in case you haven't noticed, we increased the "guarantee" for Round 2 to 25 participants. The exact number will be decided in the near future. We thank your for your participation, and for your flexibility and understanding as we learn what works and what doesn't work in this competition. Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to
our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

Hi, Ritchie. There's a problem with the page. Genre in the infobox is pop from cite, however, it is from the book that Chris Ingram wrote "Lennon's touching 'If I Fell'..." "...instantly seized upon by the adult pop world as new standards and covered by tuxedoed balladeers" that means not a pop song. 183.171.165.91 ( talk) 02:20, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Greetings, Richie. Please allow me to explain why WP:INTDABLINK is necessary, even though it may look "silly" to you. Per the language set forth at Wikipedia:Disambiguation:
Links to disambiguation pages from mainspace are typically errors. In order to find and fix those errors, disambiguators generate a wide array of reports of links needing to be checked and fixed. Because these reports can not distinguish instances where an editor has made such a link with the intent to point to the disambiguation page, the community adopted the policy of rerouting all intentional disambiguation links in mainspace through "Foo (disambiguation)" redirects. This makes it clear that such links are intended to point to the disambiguation page.
Our disambiguators are battling a never-ending tide of hundreds of thousands of disambiguation links needing to be fixed. By appropriately tagging intentional links to disambiguation pages, we save disambiguators the trouble of checking the same links over and over again to see if there is an error needing to be fixed, and we make it clear to the reader that the page to which they are going when they click the link is a disambiguation page. Because it is so important to tag these links correctly, this is one of the few items at Wikipedia:Disambiguation that has been adopted as policy, and not merely a guideline. Please note also that your reversion of my edit was itself immediately reverted by a bot which has been authorized to carry out exactly this task.
I would therefore ask that in the future you not revert changes that conform intentional disambiguation links to this policy. In fact, if you come across a [[Foo]] link that intentionally points to a disambiguation page, it would be a great help if you would change this to a [[Foo (disambiguation)]] link, or a [[Foo (disambiguation)|Foo]] link; if it occurs in a hatnote such as {{for|other uses|Foo}}, you can change this to{{for|other uses|Foo (disambiguation)}} or {{for|other uses|Foo (disambiguation){{!}}Foo}}, the latter of which will leave the appearance to the reader the same, as the bot did at Tommy (album).
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about this policy. Cheers! bd2412 T 12:47, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

You helped defend the page FundersClub for me. People that mark for speedy deletion make it truly so difficult to get any content up. I won't deny that it feels like sometimes the moderator status is abused because there is so much content that Wiki gets spammed with. Would you mind if I asked why he would have marked it for speedy deletion? It is because my account isn't older than the internet? Is it because I don't post 30 times a day and 7 days a week?

You play the guitar right? Or piano? Check out the lines on this. Insanely difficult to learn on guitar.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:47, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
Love your singer!! I'd love to play in a band with her!! Berklee jazz guitarist graduates are usually the most intimidating ones. Kurt Rosenwinkel for instance. Just when you think you're getting good at guitar you'll hear a Martino or Rosenwinkel performance and you go back to feeling like a basic guitarist who knows bugger all again!! Some of these jazz masters play at a impossibly high level... It makes me wonder how they became so good with such an endless arrangement of ideas. It's more than practice, to have that sort of huge jazz vocabulary comes down to serious applied learning and study every day for decades. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:56, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Greetings... I appreciate your feedback. I am gathering that editing the existing page for Mr. Foist is more desirable than trying to resubmit the one that I created. It seems absurd that so much of the content on Wiki is 'subjective' - for instance, a page on former breaking benjamin drummer, Chad Szlinga is free form conversational through much of it with no cited references on a good part of it, talking about rumors, being the self appointed goodwill ambassador during Ben Burnley's illness - yet no documented evidence via any 'reliable sources' to substantiate various claims. It reads like a personal opinion about one's self vs. a document in the third person. Also, with links going to non-existent or removed content, it appears to be a page that should be flagged for serious errors - yet it stands with no questions for review - which can only lead one to believe that there are different sets of rules for different 'noted individuals' on Wikipedia. For those of us who actually have to work really hard at what we do for our artists, which means doing as much as possible in a WYSIWYG manner, the convoluted HTML hell that IS Wikipedia is a pure nightmare for those of us who legitimately need to have these things in place for our noted artists - and have little to no time learning the in's and out's of this platform. So basically - color me frustrated. I spent weeks on the content I submitted - all for nothing. I don't even know where to go from here - and don't have much if any time left to go through this painful experience again. Thank you for permitting the space to vent - I can't believe I am alone in this WikiTruthTime ( talk) 23:44, 25 September 2014 (UTC) WikiTruthTime

As we move into the middle of Round 1, we wanted to report some of the lessons we've learned thus far, as well as announce a major rule change going into Round 2, which begins November 1. Remember, sign-ups for this year's Cup ends on September 15. Thus far, we're very happy with the results of the competition. One of our major goals, reducing the long backlog at GAN, is well on the way to being accomplished, mostly due to the enthusiastic efforts of Jonas Vinther, who has earned over 250 points. Over 80 reviews have been made thus far. Thank you all for your efforts and for your part in making the GA Cup a success. However, this is the inaugural year of the GA Cup, so there have been some unforeseen circumstances that have come up. One has been a glaring inadequacy with the rules, which the judges feel makes the competition unfair. As a result, there will be a major change in the rules, starting at the beginning of Round 2:
What this means is that you must provide some feedback to the article's nominator, and must wait for him or her to respond before passing the article. If the nominator has not responded in the standard 7 days, you can fail the article. We're instituting this rule change to prevent the possibility of competitors passing articles for the sake of passing articles (or failing them) and to gain more points. We believe that the change will make it more fair to all competitors in the GA Cup. Also, in case you haven't noticed, we increased the "guarantee" for Round 2 to 25 participants. The exact number will be decided in the near future. We thank your for your participation, and for your flexibility and understanding as we learn what works and what doesn't work in this competition. Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to
our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.
