Hello. I came here to apologize if you found yourself offended by me. I've said nothing personal in the discussion I've raised, just questioned some of your editing (which you started first by the way, see Talk:...And Justice for All (album)#Questions by Dan56).-- Вик Ретлхед ( talk) 20:03, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
The linking I did to the Raphael Saadiq album Ray Ray was to disambiguate the names Michael Angelo (as he was a member of the group Portrait), the composer Benjamin Wright (who has worked on all of Saadiq's solo albums as well as a couple of albums by his former groups Tony! Toni! Tone! and Lucy Pearl. I wasn't trying to do an easter egg link, as I thought it was okay to link members to their band or group's pages- I have seen this done on Wikipedia numerous times. It wasn't my intent to do vandalize the page of the album. I was doing what I thought was normal procedure here. I apologize if any harm was done. Shallowharold ( talk) 15:42, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm replying to the message you left on my page. It was my first time ever editing a wikipedia article, I don't know much about how this should be done and don't really plan to learn. Yes I did not justify the changes I made to the Rivers of My Fathers article, partly because I can't really cite anything for them. I removed the fender rhodes appellation a two places before piano because I play a Fender rhodes piano and can tell there is none in this recording. I have also verified and Wikipedia was the only source on the internet claiming that instrument was used in this song. So what's next?

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Please knock it off. I can't see any reason for your activity on that page at the moment, other than to provoke GabeMc who is obviously working hard to bring the article up to a certain standard. If you persist, you will be blocked from editing. -- Laser brain (talk) 20:42, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Dan, there are now at least four editors that I am aware of who feel that you have been too controlling regarding infobox genres: JG66, Вик Ретлхед, Rvd4life, and me. I'll bet there are others, many of whom might come forward during an RFC/U or an ANI report, should one get filed on you. Don't push this to a topic ban, just loosen your grip a bit and stop obsessively policing infoboxes. You apparently see yourself as the self-appointed gate-keeper across a broad swath of articles. Maybe just concentrate on those that truly interest you, versus albums that you havn't even listened to. I will also say this again, you should be correcting the plagarisms in your FAs before genre warring with editors who are trying to improve articles. Please take this advice before you burn too many bridges. GabeMc ( talk| contribs) 19:09, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Hey dude, check this out. Seems Popoff wrote something completely different in 2004.

Hi Dan56 - many thanks for the message re Agharta, but it's not me making the changes whilst logged out! I'm only making changes when logged in as Bill E Bailey. The other changes are being made by the author Paul Tingen himself who wishes to point out:
I've just been scanning Szwed's book, and can't find any reference in it to Miles Beyond or to Ernico with regards to how he arrived at the titles for the different sections of Agharta (and all the other electric Miles live albums). Enrico's titling method is explained in my book on page 285 (note 14) and by Enrico himself on page 303. Many of these titles are not titles Miles or Columbia used. Until Miles Beyond no-one had a clue as to what was going on with the live albums (hence "Wednesday Miles" or "Interlude" or "Call it Anythin'"etc), and Ernico was the first one to identify and map the different segments and give them appropriate titles with a clear, verifiable logic. Bob Belden tried to do the same, but always made mistakes. He told me that he always feared the letter or e-mail from Enrico after the release of archived live Miles material, correcting him. Why he or Columbia didn't take the logical step of hiring Enrico as an consultant, I never understood. And relevant to this situation, the fact that Szwed's simply copies these titles and states them as fact, without acknowledging where they came from, is one of the things that really annoys.
Hope you can understand our reasoning behind the changes we are trying to make in respect of the ownership of the song titles? Please let me know if this isn't appropriate or if a compromise can be reached. Bill E Bailey ( talk) 20:20, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

John, when I was recently reverted by AstroMan67, this user referred to me as "Danny boy". This eerily sounds familiar to the heading title of a chat between GabeMc and Rvd4life at the former's talk page not too long ago about me (User talk:GabeMc#Danny boy) ( GabeMc later revised the title). The latter editor has opposed me in a couple of content disputes, including this one, where he said "Lets just say, Mr Christgau isn't a fan of metal". Forgive me if this all seems suspicious. I don't mind being opposed to in a content dispute by Rvd4life, but badmouthing me with what Gabe refers to as "Wikibuddies" and the possibility of me being roped into a block for edit warring is upsetting. BTW, if it's any correlation, I did appropriately message AstroMan67, who subsequently reverted it ( [11]). Dan56 ( talk) 22:29, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Hey, Jerome Kohl, Since you enlightened me about citation consistency at my previous FAC for Misterioso, I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing that aspect of my latest FAC for Marquee Moon? The FAC is here. Dan56 ( talk) 07:18, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi Dan, great work on unquestionably one of the great albums of the punk/post-punk/new wave era. Going by their UK chart entry dates, I would say that the singles "Marquee Moon" and "Prove It" were released in March and July 1977 respectively. I can probably find exact release dates for these and the album itself (at least in the UK) when I visit the British Library in a month or two to have a look at their back copies of UK music magazines: I'm currently working on trying to get what I consider to be some of the key singles and albums from 1975 to 1985 up to or close to GA status over the next year or two, so I trawl through the magazines quite frequently (I currently have about 70 singles and 30 albums on my 'to do' list – I wanted to concentrate on these as this seems to be the era of music most overlooked by Wikipedia: classic 60s and 70s rock has any number of articles and books already written about it that can be used as sources, and music since 2000 has plenty of information available on the internet).
Did you know that Marquee Moon was also voted number one album of 1977 by the critics of Sounds? I can try and get issue dates for this and the NME critics list while I am at the BL. I can also try and look for the original album reviews from February 1977 – as the album was well received and sold relatively well in the UK, it might be a good idea to include some UK reviews in the 'Critical reception' section to give some colour to the British response to the record. Many apologies if my assumption here is incorrect, but as the majority of reviews in the article are from US magazines I assumed you were American, and therefore you don't have such easy access to British sources.
I also have a copy of Fear of Music: The 261 Greatest Albums Since Punk and Disco, a book by British journalist Garry Mulholland listing what he considers to be the key albums from 1976 to 2003. It includes Marquee Moon – do you think any of his quotes about the album would be useful to include in the 'Legacy and influence' section for the article? Cheers. Richard3120 ( talk) 02:32, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
In response to your message on March 26, Grapple X, the editor who opposed the article's last and second to last FACs required of me an independent editor to go through all of the sources (which he said explicitly at the last one). That's clearly not practical, even though another editor concurred in the last one that there needs to be a "concerted effort" to address the former editor's points. I don't have or own any print source, I used Google Book's preview/search engine for all of them. I can transcribe some of them in their entirety, as I was able to do with this one for the Detroit Metro Times review by Kofi Natambu. I successfully went through a source check of print sources at my last FAC (for this article), so I don't feel there shouldn't be more good faith afforded to me this time around.

Dan: I'm going to grant you the "Honorable Mention with stars" ratings. I really don't get them. Not that the explanation helps a lot.

Per Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians/Article guidelines, The discography section of the musician's primary article should "provide a summary of the musician's major works - In most cases this is done using a simple list of their studio albums, leaving a complete listing of releases to the discography article

The blurb as it stands now is below:
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the eighth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles (pictured). Released on 1 June 1967, it was an immediate commercial and critical success. After the group retired from touring, Paul McCartney had an idea for a song involving an Edwardian era military band, and this developed into a plan to release an entire album as a performance by the fictional Sgt. Pepper band. Knowing they would not have to perform the tracks live, the Beatles adopted an experimental approach to composition, writing songs such as " With a Little Help from My Friends", " Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and " A Day in the Life". The producer George Martin's innovative recording of the album included the liberal application of signal processing. The cover, depicting the band in front of a collage of celebrities and historical figures, was designed by the English pop artists Peter Blake and Jann Haworth. One of the best-selling albums of all time, Sgt. Pepper is regarded as an important work of British psychedelia and an early concept album. One music scholar has described it as "the most important and influential rock and roll album ever recorded". ( Full article...)

Hello. I came here to apologize if you found yourself offended by me.

The linking I did to the Raphael Saadiq album Ray Ray was to disambiguate the names Michael Angelo (as he was a member of the group Portrait), the composer Benjamin Wright (who has worked on all of Saadiq's solo albums as well as a couple of albums by his former groups Tony! Toni! Tone! and Lucy Pearl. I wasn't trying to do an easter egg link, as I thought it was okay to link members to their band or group's pages- I have seen this done on Wikipedia numerous times. It wasn't my intent to do vandalize the page of the album. I was doing what I thought was normal procedure here. I apologize if any harm was done. Shallowharold ( talk) 15:42, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm replying to the message you left on my page. It was my first time ever editing a wikipedia article, I don't know much about how this should be done and don't really plan to learn. Yes I did not justify the changes I made to the Rivers of My Fathers article, partly because I can't really cite anything for them. I removed the fender rhodes appellation a two places before piano because I play a Fender rhodes piano and can tell there is none in this recording. I have also verified and Wikipedia was the only source on the internet claiming that instrument was used in this song. So what's next?

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Please knock it off. I can't see any reason for your activity on that page at the moment, other than to provoke GabeMc who is obviously working hard to bring the article up to a certain standard. If you persist, you will be blocked from editing. -- Laser brain (talk) 20:42, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Dan, there are now at least four editors that I am aware of who feel that you have been too controlling regarding infobox genres: JG66, Вик Ретлхед, Rvd4life, and me. I'll bet there are others, many of whom might come forward during an RFC/U or an ANI report, should one get filed on you. Don't push this to a topic ban, just loosen your grip a bit and stop obsessively policing infoboxes. You apparently see yourself as the self-appointed gate-keeper across a broad swath of articles. Maybe just concentrate on those that truly interest you, versus albums that you havn't even listened to. I will also say this again, you should be correcting the plagarisms in your FAs before genre warring with editors who are trying to improve articles. Please take this advice before you burn too many bridges. GabeMc ( talk| contribs) 19:09, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Hey dude, check this out. Seems Popoff wrote something completely different in 2004. The book you cited was published in November 2013, while the article got promoted in July 2013, which leads to my assumption that the author took a peek at your incredible (meant falsified) work.

Hi Dan56 - many thanks for the message re Agharta, but it's not me making the changes whilst logged out! I'm only making changes when logged in as Bill E Bailey. The other changes are being made by the author Paul Tingen himself who wishes to point out:
I've just been scanning Szwed's book, and can't find any reference in it to Miles Beyond or to Ernico with regards to how he arrived at the titles for the different sections of Agharta (and all the other electric Miles live albums). Enrico's titling method is explained in my book on page 285 (note 14) and by Enrico himself on page 303. Many of these titles are not titles Miles or Columbia used. Until Miles Beyond no-one had a clue as to what was going on with the live albums (hence "Wednesday Miles" or "Interlude" or "Call it Anythin'"etc), and Ernico was the first one to identify and map the different segments and give them appropriate titles with a clear, verifiable logic. Bob Belden tried to do the same, but always made mistakes. He told me that he always feared the letter or e-mail from Enrico after the release of archived live Miles material, correcting him. Why he or Columbia didn't take the logical step of hiring Enrico as an consultant, I never understood. And relevant to this situation, the fact that Szwed's simply copies these titles and states them as fact, without acknowledging where they came from, is one of the things that really annoys.
Hope you can understand our reasoning behind the changes we are trying to make in respect of the ownership of the song titles? Please let me know if this isn't appropriate or if a compromise can be reached. Bill E Bailey ( talk) 20:20, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

John, when I was recently reverted by AstroMan67, this user referred to me as "Danny boy". This eerily sounds familiar to the heading title of a chat between GabeMc and Rvd4life at the former's talk page not too long ago about me (User talk:GabeMc#Danny boy) ( GabeMc later revised the title). The latter editor has opposed me in a couple of content disputes, including this one, where he said "Lets just say, Mr Christgau isn't a fan of metal". Forgive me if this all seems suspicious. I don't mind being opposed to in a content dispute by Rvd4life, but badmouthing me with what Gabe refers to as "Wikibuddies" and the possibility of me being roped into a block for edit warring is upsetting. BTW, if it's any correlation, I did appropriately message AstroMan67, who subsequently reverted it ( [11]). Dan56 ( talk) 22:29, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Hey, Jerome Kohl, Since you enlightened me about citation consistency at my previous FAC for Misterioso, I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing that aspect of my latest FAC for Marquee Moon? The FAC is here. Dan56 ( talk) 07:18, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi Dan, great work on unquestionably one of the great albums of the punk/post-punk/new wave era. Going by their UK chart entry dates, I would say that the singles "Marquee Moon" and "Prove It" were released in March and July 1977 respectively. I can probably find exact release dates for these and the album itself (at least in the UK) when I visit the British Library in a month or two to have a look at their back copies of UK music magazines: I'm currently working on trying to get what I consider to be some of the key singles and albums from 1975 to 1985 up to or close to GA status over the next year or two, so I trawl through the magazines quite frequently (I currently have about 70 singles and 30 albums on my 'to do' list – I wanted to concentrate on these as this seems to be the era of music most overlooked by Wikipedia: classic 60s and 70s rock has any number of articles and books already written about it that can be used as sources, and music since 2000 has plenty of information available on the internet).
Did you know that Marquee Moon was also voted number one album of 1977 by the critics of Sounds? I can try and get issue dates for this and the NME critics list while I am at the BL. I can also try and look for the original album reviews from February 1977 – as the album was well received and sold relatively well in the UK, it might be a good idea to include some UK reviews in the 'Critical reception' section to give some colour to the British response to the record. Many apologies if my assumption here is incorrect, but as the majority of reviews in the article are from US magazines I assumed you were American, and therefore you don't have such easy access to British sources.
I also have a copy of Fear of Music: The 261 Greatest Albums Since Punk and Disco, a book by British journalist Garry Mulholland listing what he considers to be the key albums from 1976 to 2003. It includes Marquee Moon – do you think any of his quotes about the album would be useful to include in the 'Legacy and influence' section for the article? Cheers. Richard3120 ( talk) 02:32, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
In response to your message on March 26, Grapple X, the editor who opposed the article's last and second to last FACs required of me an independent editor to go through all of the sources (which he said explicitly at the last one). That's clearly not practical, even though another editor concurred in the last one that there needs to be a "concerted effort" to address the former editor's points. I don't have or own any print source, I used Google Book's preview/search engine for all of them. I can transcribe some of them in their entirety, as I was able to do with this one for the Detroit Metro Times review by Kofi Natambu. I successfully went through a source check of print sources at my last FAC (for this article), so I don't feel there shouldn't be more good faith afforded to me this time around.

Dan: I'm going to grant you the "Honorable Mention with stars" ratings. I really don't get them. Not that the explanation helps a lot.

Per Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians/Article guidelines, The discography section of the musician's primary article should "provide a summary of the musician's major works - In most cases this is done using a simple list of their studio albums, leaving a complete listing of releases to the discography article

This is a note to let the main editors of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on June 21, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at present, please ask Bencherlite ( talk · contribs). You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 21, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the eighth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles (pictured). Released on 1 June 1967, it was an immediate commercial and critical success. After the group retired from touring, Paul McCartney had an idea for a song involving an Edwardian era military band, and this developed into a plan to release an entire album as a performance by the fictional Sgt. Pepper band. Knowing they would not have to perform the tracks live, the Beatles adopted an experimental approach to composition, writing songs such as " With a Little Help from My Friends", " Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and " A Day in the Life". The producer George Martin's innovative recording of the album included the liberal application of signal processing. The cover, depicting the band in front of a collage of celebrities and historical figures, was designed by the English pop artists Peter Blake and Jann Haworth.

This is to inform you that Song of Innocence, which you nominated at WP:FAC, will appear on the Main Page as Today's Featured Article on 7 January 2015. The proposed main page blurb is here; you may amend if necessary. Please check for dead links and other possible faults before the appearance date. I have not scheduled an image; the lead image is copyright, the Blake image might misinform as to the nature of the article, and the other image within the article is tangential. Please let me know if you have other suggestions. Brianboulton ( talk) 15:40, 18 December 2014 (UTC) Brianboulton ( talk) 15:50, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
