Is there an actual reason why Wikipedia would need or want every individual band's article to contain a see also section that links to all of the portal template, Music of Canada, Music of Quebec, Canadian rock, List of Canadian musicians, List of bands from Canada and Category:Canadian musical groups?

Thanks for your continued work, Argolin. A question about your edit to The Zolas: why did you write that they formed in 2010? I can find no evidence that this is the case. There are some news articles from 2009 that refer to them. Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 01:19, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Probably a good idea, yeah. I'm not sure I can even remember why it was originally done the other way in the first place. I'll look after it right now with AWB, actually. Bearcat ( talk) 05:42, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
Probably best that we start prioritizing categorization by province first, except for the cities and/or regions that already have their own dedicated subcategories (see Category:Musical groups by city in Canada if you need a list) — we can always recategorize things by city or region later on if we find that numbers warrant. My own personal rule of thumb is that I won't usually create a more specific subcategory than the province until I can immediately file at least three (and preferably four or five) articles in it, but that's just my own guideline, not a Wikipedia rule of any sort. And we can always rename stuff on the fly if we come across stuff that should be named differently than it is.
I killed the Category:Moneen category; we're not supposed to create eponymous band subcategories just to link the band's main article with their albums category. Generally we shouldn't do a band-specific category until there are a lot of related spinoffs, e.g. Category:The Beatles or Category:The Rolling Stones. Bearcat ( talk) 07:30, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
I don't personally have a strong preference either way regarding DD/MM or MM/DD style in dates, so long as the whole article is consistent with one style or the other — I almost always write MM/DD, but the only rule on here right now, at least for Canadian topics, is consistency within the article.
If you want to change the format that's in the infobox, the "df=y" ("day first=yes") flag in the {{ Birthdate and age}} template can be changed to "mf=y" ("month first=yes") instead — but there's no obligation to do that.
For what it's worth, the "default to the style used by the first major contributor" really has more to do with avoiding revert wars over date style than with giving anybody special primacy rights; when we've tried to hash out a consensus over which style was preferred by the Canadian contingent, we split pretty much right down the middle between DD/MM and MM/DD proponents, so the only "Canadian" rule right now is that if the article is consistent in one style or the other, then leave it alone, and if it isn't, then pick one or the other and make it consistent. But it doesn't really matter which format is used as long as the article picks one and runs with it instead of jumping back and forth between the two. Bearcat ( talk) 16:33, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

If you'd like to create a hidden project subcategory for "Canadian musical groups missing by-province or by-city categorization", that might be appropriate — but we really shouldn't file bands directly in Category:Music of Canadian subdivisions, or file them in both Category:Canadian musical groups and one of its genre subcategories at the same time, as a substitute. The former is using that category for a purpose that doesn't actually fit the way it's named, and the latter goes against WP:SUBCAT. Bearcat ( talk) 00:47, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

I see my edit summary wasn't clear so I thought I'd leave a message here to clarify why I removed it. Such tags are used on Wikipedia maintenance or hidden categories: you do not have the right to create a category such as Category:Canadian music managers and apply this tag to it to safeguard it from the normal review processes that all categories face, namely, the right of any editor to nominate it for deletion, renaming or merging, per WP:OC.

It is better to keep "Quebec record labels" because they do not necessarily have something to do with "French", they have only in common to be based in Quebec. Obviously, most produce some records intended for Quebec's cultural market. -- Mathieugp ( talk) 14:25, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Argolin!
On 11 April and 6 June 2010 you redid the WikiProject banners on the subject page. As a result the banners take more room than they used to consume, the blp banner is missing and a DEFAULTSORT conflict was introduced.
|listas=
in {{
WPBiography}} serves as the sort value for all the other project banners. However, only one sort value is allowed on any page.I have removed the |collapsed=
no from each banner, restored the |blp=
yes to {{
WikiProjectBannerShell}} and deleted all the values for |listas=
except the one in {{
WPBiography}}. Normally when I resolve DEFAULTSORT conflict I limit my explanation to the Edit Summary. In this case, since you have made such major changes to the page and I am undoing most of them, I thought it best to explain more fully.

Hi Argolin.

Hi Argolin, nice to see you are still around. I was wondering why you downgraded this to stub-class when another editor had rated it as start-class.

I was just looking at my wiki page cause someone clicked through to my website on it, and I noticed that you said I was not canadian. I am a Canadian citizen. I am french Canadian from Montreal. I was born in the US and registered as a Canadian born abroad. I am a double citizen. I am not on the wiki, can you please undo?

Go ahead with the project tags. The article still ain't great, obviously, but it actually has a couple of reference links in it now (which is more than it did the first time) — I didn't really evaluate the links in depth, but they're certainly substantial enough in length that there might actually be a salvageable article to be had if and when someone actually tackles cleaning it up.

I reverted back to Opera Canada on the arts magazines navbox. It's a magazine (although still a redlink). Robertbyrne ( talk) 01:13, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
I honestly can't imagine why converting references to a different format would be contentious enough to require special consensus, as long as they still work and aren't futzing up the quality of the article (which they might be if someone converted from templated references back to the ancient "bare url right in body text" format instead, for instance, but that's obviously not at issue here.)
I do tend to "name" my references only when I need to reference multiple statements in different places in the article to one source, rather than consistently naming them across the board — but I'm certainly not wedded to the idea that my own personal editing quirks should prevail over better ideas. And I didn't even know that it was possible to stick the reference links directly into the reflist template at the end and then just use nametags in the article body; I only knew about the "put the link directly into the first set of reftags that it applies to" approach.
So yeah, trust me, you've always got my permission to update the referencing format on an article I created. As long as you don't break 'em entirely, of course (*silly grin*). Bearcat ( talk) 18:15, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

I followed the link and added into the talk section of the article. I hope it worked. The reason it didn't work last time was that I quoted the artist's bio out of a website. But then didn't check back and because I didn't resolve the issue they just deleted it.

Hi. I'm not sure the category you added ("Category:Anthem Records artists") makes sense for the Buddy Rich article. Buddy Rich never recorded for Anthem Records. Several years after the death of Buddy Rich, the Buddy Rich Big Band did participate in Neil Peart's Anthem Records' tribute albums, Burning for Buddy.... But it seems a bit inappropriate to count Buddy Rich himself as an Anthem Records artist based on this posthumous recording by the Big Band. If there were a separate article for the Buddy Rich Big Band, then it might make sense to add the "Anthem Records Artist" category to that article. What do you think? Pugetbill ( talk) 16:53, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
There was historically an objection to eponymous categories such as Category:John Wayne; these had no subcats and tended to attract all articles which mention John Wayne. ('Films starring JW' was deleted earlier as it is difficult to ascertain who the stars are in a film.) This campaign was then applied to musicians and a whole lot of eponymous musician categories were deleted (although in fact most musician categories are neatly arranged into subcats which are not disputed: albums, songs etc.). There was then a counter-campaign which supported musician categories with 3 subcats, none of which have been deleted for some years. As a sop to the deletionists, those with 2 subcats were not usually contested (the use of {{ catrel}} was thought to be sufficient) and those with 1 subcat are not in my view doing anything much. I would personally prefer a tightly defined subcat ('Founders of foo') rather than various articles at the top level being associated with foo in some unspecified fashion. Anyway my advice would be to get the subcats lined up first before creating the eponymous top one (which collects them together in a an intuitive and simple fashion).

I see that you're working on this one now, so here's another review: "Seriously demented-sounding synth-punk number about basking in the warm, glowing, warming glow of the boob tube—teacher, mother, secret lover." Or this one: "This local pop punk band has a synth-beat twist." There are articles on them here and here and here and here
However, the bad news is the band has broken up, the following post is on their myspace page: "After 7 years, 3 record releases, over 150 local shows, and a solid tour of Canada, GO Ghetto Tiger has decided to call it quits. In the last year Super J has gone through some serious personal issues and recently has chosen a wise path of health and recovery. He is a best friend and a founding member of the band. We want to thank all the members that have played with us through the years. We also want to thank all the support from friends and family. Anyone who bought our records and came out to shows, we love you.” - 4:07 PM Feb 26 2010
There's a cool pic of the band here. You could try writing to marQuo to see what the copyright is and if he owns it, ask if he'll release it. Of course, if it's a promo pic, now that the band's broken up, you can use it under "fair use". Hope that helps. Robman94 ( talk) 13:15, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I proposed this article for "deletion", for reasons stated in the Talk page. I am new to this deletion/protection aspect of wikipedia editting, so may not be following the right process. But seems that you are preventing deletion, with no rationale given. My point was that the article is titled "Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation".

Dear Argolin,
I hope you are well.
On April 3rd, 2011, you made a change to the first paragraph on Hennie Bekker's page, revising "Juno Award-winning" to "Juno nominated" , and citing that Hennie Bekker did not win. Hennie is a Juno Award winner, albeit not as a solo artist, but with the group BKS. I'm wondering why this change was made - is there a source, or are there Wikipedia recommendations that state a musician/composer may not cite themselves as a Juno Award winner, unless they won the award as a solo artist?
I look forward to hearing from you.

Apologies for the delay. I've looked over the article and made some minor changes. It's good you found so many sources for Thurier, especially for the brief article it was previously.

I would recommend writing a little more on the individual films, such as including details about critical reception, accolades, box office, etc. Keep looking for more sources to help further expand the article. Good job improving the article from its prior state. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 ( talk • contrib) 04:02, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the copyedit on the Gould page. Those semi-colons were out of control! I am a little confused by one sentence: Their affair lasted until 1972, when she returned to her husband. As early as two weeks after leaving him, she had noticed disturbing signs in Gould. Is that two weeks after Cornelia left Lucas, or two weeks after she left Gould?

Hi Argolin. Good to see you working away at the Canadian music articles. I'm coming to your talk page to do some very very minor nitpicking. If you take a look at Wikipedia:Persondata#Short_description you'll see it suggests, "The first letter of this should be capitalized, but non-proper nouns should not otherwise be capitalized", so it should be "Canadian musician", not "Canadian Musician" you're adding. Thanks! Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 14:12, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi. In regards to this edit to Alanna Clarke, where you said "remove Category:People from Cochrane, Alberta grew up there, where was she born? add Category:Place of birth missing + Category:Canadian musicians from Alberta)". Do you know where Wikipedia documents how to use "People from place name" categories? I understood that current and past residents (excluding visitors) of a place would be included. I don't think it's reserved for people born in the place, or it would be called Category:People born in Cochrane, Alberta. I'm also wandering why you added the (at this moment) empty category Category:Canadian musicians from Alberta. I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong, as I'm unclear of your reasoning, and of what the guidelines for the category are. -- Rob ( talk) 02:08, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi there!

Re: Removal of Gemini Nomination on Steffan Andrews. Much appreciation for looking into the sourcing of that! But I would like to reinstate that entry by citing this source: http://www.geminiawards.ca/gemini26/press/GEMINI-Nominees-LIST-News-Release-Aug-3-2011.PDF - it is an official press release on the Gemini Awards site (and is actually linked to on the 2011 Gemini Awards wiki page) showing the nomination (on PDF page 25). The parent Academy's search portal you checked before removing the award entry is out of date and are not listing 2011 awards yet. I confirmed this by doing my own search on that portal and in the "Awards to search" field it shows "Geminis (English TV 1986-2010)" - so you can see it's out of date.

Dear Argolin, Thanks for improvements to that article, which seems to have stood the test of usefulness fairly well! It seems ages ago that I wrote it as indeed it was, looking at the history. Luckily (not for my shelfspace) I have still got The Record Guide, prehistoric though it is, still a useful catalogue, and the Grinke / Ireland items are listed together under Ireland, 'Chamber Music', at page 317. They were all on Decca 78s. The Phantasie Trio with The Holy Boy was on AX 899-900, The E Major Trio was AX 242-244 and the sonata of 1909 on AK 1400-1403. (AX were twelve-inch gold label Decca Records, and AK were twelve-inch red label Deccas. The gold/yellow were the top range and the red the standard.) The authors awarded the latter set a single star, meaning 'superior performance and recording': their highest accolade was two stars, for 'Excellent'. The other page ref you ask for is from something I sourced online (if indeed it was me) and I haven't got any book in hand to tell me, but I'll see if I can find the online place. all the best Eebahgum ( talk) 18:49, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Just so you know for future reference, people aren't added directly to "People from (Province/Territory)" categories if they're already in that same province or territory's "Musicians from (Province/Territory)" category; the musicians category replaces the general one.

Thank you again for all of the work you have done on this. The cross referencing is brilliant. It's evident that you are dedicated to high quality information and it's great that Wikipedia continues to improve thanks to you and your colleagues. I will endeavour to get verification for titling the entry Anita Andrés Sleeman as this would be her preference. I completely understand that the general information on the Internet and other media points to Anita Sleeman. I will get manuscripts that she wrote and her degree certificates to scan and attach, but it might be a while as after her death most things have been stored for sorting and archiving. Her hand-written scores are going to the UBC music library, other items to CMC, etc. Thanks again JoolsA ( talk) 00:48, 26 January 2012 (UTC)JoolsA
Some minor nitpicking: we don't typically put birth or death places right next to birth or death dates in parentheses right after the person's name in the lead. Birth and death places can be put in the infobox, and within the appropriate places in the body of the article. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biographies. Also, we try to keep to just one style of date formatting within a single article, including in the citations. So with Anita Sleeman, since the article was first created with month-day-year date formatting, all the dates in the citations should also have month-day-year formatting.

Hello Argolin! i have left a message on the talk pages at "wikiproject christian music" with a request that you do not link this project with the miranda stone wikipedia. I do not do "christian music," despite the fact that i have played venues like cornerstone and so on. The music falls into the genre of music with spiritual themes; music similar to bands like Over the Rhine or Sam Philips. i believe worship music falls under the category of "Christian music," if anything. Making a category about a person in a "living person biography" needs solid evidence from multiply sources. If a christian reviews an album, that does not make it christian. i was informed by a member of the group that you had added this link to the "Miranda stone" wikipedia so i would like to request you to remove it. You can email me if you need confirmation of my identity (theoffice@mirandastone.com) Thanks very much!

Thanks for getting back to me, it's a huge help. The site has been like this for years, but i didn't know what to do about. Also, i haven't owned a computer for a long time and have been on retreat. Just wondering, but do i have to put the birth/born info up there? I'd be happy to talk to you about that, but not in a public forum like this. i'd like to rally some of my fans to get info up on the wikipedia stub if i could. Most of them know that i've retired from the public eye in the last 5 years, but they have more solid info in regards to my career. I have a pile of newspaper reviews that can't be accessed on line and have considered scanning them. If you need to see information, there are about 4 scanned articles in the review section of the website (www.mirandastone.com) It's about 15 years of doing music by a lot isn't up online anymore. There's a fair amount of info up on the talk page if you need to reference anything. Thanks for your help Argolin!

Why are you adding Category:1967 in Canadian music to Order of Canada? Nikkimaria ( talk) 14:00, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
It's true that the further back you go, the harder it may get to actually find relevant things — but look for things like that year's Juno or RPM Gold Leaf awards (if any) and that year's relevant entries from Category:Lists of number-one songs in Canada and Category:Lists of number-one albums in Canada (some still haven't been done yet but we have valid lists all the way back to sometime in the mid-1950s; don't forget to check the subcategories for country and CHUM charts!) I don't think that there are any annual music festivals where we've done an individual spinoff for each year (unlike a few of the US or British ones), but if you do come across any those would be appropriate — as would notable one-off events like the John Lennon peace concerts (which I see you've already gotten to.)
For more recent years, I think we do have spinoffs for individual years' MuchMusic Video Awards, and if we ever get around to expanding our coverage of the Prix Félix, or the East Coast Music Awards, to actually have annual nominee/winner lists the way we do for the Junos, those would be good additions too.
For what it's worth, the equivalent categories for American and British music haven't actually gone further back than the early 2000s yet — which is not to say that we can't go further back, of course, but it's almost certainly going to be harder to populate 1950s and 1960s categories than more contemporary ones. Bearcat ( talk) 05:47, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
No, articles shouldn't be left sitting with redlinked categories on them. If you can't justify creating (or don't want to create for whatever reason) a relevant category right away, then the category shouldn't be added to articles as a redlinked placeholder. (People have been known to do it, admittedly, but they're not supposed to — and there's an entire maintenance project specifically devoted to creating, removing and/or repairing the resulting mess.)

A tag has been placed on Editing Category:St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador articles by importance requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Dipankan In the woods? 09:13, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi Argolin, you recently removed a deletion tag from Editing Category:St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador articles by importance. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove speedy deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the tag. Although the deletion proposal may be incorrect, removing the tag is not the correct way for you to contest the deletion, even if you are more experienced than the nominator. Instead, please use the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. Remember to be patient, there is no harm in waiting for another experienced user to review the deletion and judge what the right course of action is. As you are involved, and therefore potentially biased, you should refrain from doing this yourself. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot ( talk) 09:21, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

It probably should be connected to the Canadian music project somehow, but I'm just not sure how best to do that since sound art, as such, isn't necessarily musical in nature (while it certainly can be, it can also be very different from what people normally understand as music.)

Hello. I noticed that back in January you tagged a death date for Gaston Allaire with {{ citation needed}} as unsourced.

Probably a good idea, yeah. I'm not sure I can even remember why it was originally done the other way in the first place. I'll look after it right now with AWB, actually. Bearcat ( talk) 05:42, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
Probably best that we start prioritizing categorization by province first, except for the cities and/or regions that already have their own dedicated subcategories (see Category:Musical groups by city in Canada if you need a list) — we can always recategorize things by city or region later on if we find that numbers warrant. My own personal rule of thumb is that I won't usually create a more specific subcategory than the province until I can immediately file at least three (and preferably four or five) articles in it, but that's just my own guideline, not a Wikipedia rule of any sort. And we can always rename stuff on the fly if we come across stuff that should be named differently than it is.
I killed the Category:Moneen category; we're not supposed to create eponymous band subcategories just to link the band's main article with their albums category. Generally we shouldn't do a band-specific category until there are a lot of related spinoffs, e.g. Category:The Beatles or Category:The Rolling Stones. Bearcat ( talk) 07:30, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
I don't personally have a strong preference either way regarding DD/MM or MM/DD style in dates, so long as the whole article is consistent with one style or the other — I almost always write MM/DD, but the only rule on here right now, at least for Canadian topics, is consistency within the article.
If you want to change the format that's in the infobox, the "df=y" ("day first=yes") flag in the {{ Birthdate and age}} template can be changed to "mf=y" ("month first=yes") instead — but there's no obligation to do that.
For what it's worth, the "default to the style used by the first major contributor" really has more to do with avoiding revert wars over date style than with giving anybody special primacy rights; when we've tried to hash out a consensus over which style was preferred by the Canadian contingent, we split pretty much right down the middle between DD/MM and MM/DD proponents, so the only "Canadian" rule right now is that if the article is consistent in one style or the other, then leave it alone, and if it isn't, then pick one or the other and make it consistent. But it doesn't really matter which format is used as long as the article picks one and runs with it instead of jumping back and forth between the two. Bearcat ( talk) 16:33, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

If you'd like to create a hidden project subcategory for "Canadian musical groups missing by-province or by-city categorization", that might be appropriate — but we really shouldn't file bands directly in Category:Music of Canadian subdivisions, or file them in both Category:Canadian musical groups and one of its genre subcategories at the same time, as a substitute. The former is using that category for a purpose that doesn't actually fit the way it's named, and the latter goes against WP:SUBCAT. Bearcat ( talk) 00:47, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

I see my edit summary wasn't clear so I thought I'd leave a message here to clarify why I removed it. Such tags are used on Wikipedia maintenance or hidden categories: you do not have the right to create a category such as Category:Canadian music managers and apply this tag to it to safeguard it from the normal review processes that all categories face, namely, the right of any editor to nominate it for deletion, renaming or merging, per WP:OC.

It is better to keep "Quebec record labels" because they do not necessarily have something to do with "French", they have only in common to be based in Quebec. Obviously, most produce some records intended for Quebec's cultural market. -- Mathieugp ( talk) 14:25, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Argolin!
On 11 April and 6 June 2010 you redid the WikiProject banners on the subject page. As a result the banners take more room than they used to consume, the blp banner is missing and a DEFAULTSORT conflict was introduced.
|listas=
in {{
WPBiography}} serves as the sort value for all the other project banners. However, only one sort value is allowed on any page.I have removed the |collapsed=
no from each banner, restored the |blp=
yes to {{
WikiProjectBannerShell}} and deleted all the values for |listas=
except the one in {{
WPBiography}}. Normally when I resolve DEFAULTSORT conflict I limit my explanation to the Edit Summary. In this case, since you have made such major changes to the page and I am undoing most of them, I thought it best to explain more fully.

Go ahead with the project tags. The article still ain't great, obviously, but it actually has a couple of reference links in it now (which is more than it did the first time) — I didn't really evaluate the links in depth, but they're certainly substantial enough in length that there might actually be a salvageable article to be had if and when someone actually tackles cleaning it up.

I reverted back to Opera Canada on the arts magazines navbox. It's a magazine (although still a redlink). Robertbyrne ( talk) 01:13, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
I honestly can't imagine why converting references to a different format would be contentious enough to require special consensus, as long as they still work and aren't futzing up the quality of the article (which they might be if someone converted from templated references back to the ancient "bare url right in body text" format instead, for instance, but that's obviously not at issue here.)
I do tend to "name" my references only when I need to reference multiple statements in different places in the article to one source, rather than consistently naming them across the board — but I'm certainly not wedded to the idea that my own personal editing quirks should prevail over better ideas. And I didn't even know that it was possible to stick the reference links directly into the reflist template at the end and then just use nametags in the article body; I only knew about the "put the link directly into the first set of reftags that it applies to" approach.
So yeah, trust me, you've always got my permission to update the referencing format on an article I created. As long as you don't break 'em entirely, of course (*silly grin*). Bearcat ( talk) 18:15, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

I followed the link and added into the talk section of the article. I hope it worked. The reason it didn't work last time was that I quoted the artist's bio out of a website. But then didn't check back and because I didn't resolve the issue they just deleted it.
I added the reasons for notability in the first paragraph. Do I need to add anything else? Starting to get the hang of this. Thanks again. PascalRoyal ( talk) 05:47, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I'm not sure the category you added ("Category:Anthem Records artists") makes sense for the Buddy Rich article. Buddy Rich never recorded for Anthem Records. Several years after the death of Buddy Rich, the Buddy Rich Big Band did participate in Neil Peart's Anthem Records' tribute albums, Burning for Buddy.... But it seems a bit inappropriate to count Buddy Rich himself as an Anthem Records artist based on this posthumous recording by the Big Band. If there were a separate article for the Buddy Rich Big Band, then it might make sense to add the "Anthem Records Artist" category to that article. What do you think? Pugetbill ( talk) 16:53, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
There was historically an objection to eponymous categories such as Category:John Wayne; these had no subcats and tended to attract all articles which mention John Wayne. ('Films starring JW' was deleted earlier as it is difficult to ascertain who the stars are in a film.) This campaign was then applied to musicians and a whole lot of eponymous musician categories were deleted (although in fact most musician categories are neatly arranged into subcats which are not disputed: albums, songs etc.). There was then a counter-campaign which supported musician categories with 3 subcats, none of which have been deleted for some years. As a sop to the deletionists, those with 2 subcats were not usually contested (the use of {{ catrel}} was thought to be sufficient) and those with 1 subcat are not in my view doing anything much. I would personally prefer a tightly defined subcat ('Founders of foo') rather than various articles at the top level being associated with foo in some unspecified fashion. Anyway my advice would be to get the subcats lined up first before creating the eponymous top one (which collects them together in a an intuitive and simple fashion).

I see that you're working on this one now, so here's another review: "Seriously demented-sounding synth-punk number about basking in the warm, glowing, warming glow of the boob tube—teacher, mother, secret lover." Or this one: "This local pop punk band has a synth-beat twist." There are articles on them here and here and here and here
However, the bad news is the band has broken up, the following post is on their myspace page: "After 7 years, 3 record releases, over 150 local shows, and a solid tour of Canada, GO Ghetto Tiger has decided to call it quits. In the last year Super J has gone through some serious personal issues and recently has chosen a wise path of health and recovery. He is a best friend and a founding member of the band. We want to thank all the members that have played with us through the years. We also want to thank all the support from friends and family. Anyone who bought our records and came out to shows, we love you.” - 4:07 PM Feb 26 2010
There's a cool pic of the band here. You could try writing to marQuo to see what the copyright is and if he owns it, ask if he'll release it. Of course, if it's a promo pic, now that the band's broken up, you can use it under "fair use". Hope that helps. Robman94 ( talk) 13:15, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I proposed this article for "deletion", for reasons stated in the Talk page. I am new to this deletion/protection aspect of wikipedia editting, so may not be following the right process. But seems that you are preventing deletion, with no rationale given. My point was that the article is titled "Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation". However the correct agency name is "Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation". This already has a good wiki article. So I propose to change the "Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation" article into a redirect to the correctly named article. Do you object to this? Gierszep ( talk) 02:33, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Dear Argolin,
I hope you are well.
On April 3rd, 2011, you made a change to the first paragraph on Hennie Bekker's page, revising "Juno Award-winning" to "Juno nominated" , and citing that Hennie Bekker did not win. Hennie is a Juno Award winner, albeit not as a solo artist, but with the group BKS. I'm wondering why this change was made - is there a source, or are there Wikipedia recommendations that state a musician/composer may not cite themselves as a Juno Award winner, unless they won the award as a solo artist?
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, Argolin, and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!
I wanted to let you know that some editors are discussing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Igor Kenk whether the article Igor Kenk should be in Wikipedia. I encourage you to comment there if you think the article should be kept in the encyclopedia.
The deletion discussion doesn't mean you did something wrong. In fact, other editors may have useful suggestions on how you can continue editing and improving Igor Kenk, which I encourage you to do. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the Help Desk.

Apologies for the delay. I've looked over the article and made some minor changes. It's good you found so many sources for Thurier, especially for the brief article it was previously. I removed the subheadings for each of his feature films as there currently isn't enough details for stand-alone sections. I would recommend writing a little more on the individual films, such as including details about critical reception, accolades, box office, etc. Keep looking for more sources to help further expand the article. Good job improving the article from its prior state. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 ( talk • contrib) 04:02, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Argolin. Good to see you working away at the Canadian music articles. I'm coming to your talk page to do some very very minor nitpicking. If you take a look at Wikipedia:Persondata#Short_description you'll see it suggests, "The first letter of this should be capitalized, but non-proper nouns should not otherwise be capitalized", so it should be "Canadian musician", not "Canadian Musician" you're adding.

Hi. In regards to this edit to Alanna Clarke, where you said "remove Category:People from Cochrane, Alberta grew up there, where was she born? add Category:Place of birth missing + Category:Canadian musicians from Alberta)". Do you know where Wikipedia documents how to use "People from place name" categories? I understood that current and past residents (excluding visitors) of a place would be included. I don't think it's reserved for people born in the place, or it would be called Category:People born in Cochrane, Alberta. I'm also wandering why you added the (at this moment) empty category Category:Canadian musicians from Alberta. I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong, as I'm unclear of your reasoning, and of what the guidelines for the category are. -- Rob ( talk) 02:08, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Re: Removal of Gemini Nomination on Steffan Andrews. Much appreciation for looking into the sourcing of that! But I would like to reinstate that entry by citing this source: http://www.geminiawards.ca/gemini26/press/GEMINI-Nominees-LIST-News-Release-Aug-3-2011.PDF - it is an official press release on the Gemini Awards site (and is actually linked to on the 2011 Gemini Awards wiki page) showing the nomination (on PDF page 25). The parent Academy's search portal you checked before removing the award entry is out of date and are not listing 2011 awards yet. I confirmed this by doing my own search on that portal and in the "Awards to search" field it shows "Geminis (English TV 1986-2010)" - so you can see it's out of date.

Dear Argolin, Thanks for improvements to that article, which seems to have stood the test of usefulness fairly well! It seems ages ago that I wrote it as indeed it was, looking at the history. Luckily (not for my shelfspace) I have still got The Record Guide, prehistoric though it is, still a useful catalogue, and the Grinke / Ireland items are listed together under Ireland, 'Chamber Music', at page 317. They were all on Decca 78s. The Phantasie Trio with The Holy Boy was on AX 899-900, The E Major Trio was AX 242-244 and the sonata of 1909 on AK 1400-1403. (AX were twelve-inch gold label Decca Records, and AK were twelve-inch red label Deccas. The gold/yellow were the top range and the red the standard.) The authors awarded the latter set a single star, meaning 'superior performance and recording': their highest accolade was two stars, for 'Excellent'. The other page ref you ask for is from something I sourced online (if indeed it was me) and I haven't got any book in hand to tell me, but I'll see if I can find the online place. all the best Eebahgum ( talk) 18:49, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Just so you know for future reference, people aren't added directly to "People from (Province/Territory)" categories if they're already in that same province or territory's "Musicians from (Province/Territory)" category; the musicians category replaces the general one.

Thank you again for all of the work you have done on this. The cross referencing is brilliant. It's evident that you are dedicated to high quality information and it's great that Wikipedia continues to improve thanks to you and your colleagues. I will endeavour to get verification for titling the entry Anita Andrés Sleeman as this would be her preference. I completely understand that the general information on the Internet and other media points to Anita Sleeman. I will get manuscripts that she wrote and her degree certificates to scan and attach, but it might be a while as after her death most things have been stored for sorting and archiving. Her hand-written scores are going to the UBC music library, other items to CMC, etc. Thanks again JoolsA ( talk) 00:48, 26 January 2012 (UTC)JoolsA
Some minor nitpicking: we don't typically put birth or death places right next to birth or death dates in parentheses right after the person's name in the lead. Birth and death places can be put in the infobox, and within the appropriate places in the body of the article. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biographies. Also, we try to keep to just one style of date formatting within a single article, including in the citations. So with Anita Sleeman, since the article was first created with month-day-year date formatting, all the dates in the citations should also have month-day-year formatting.

Hello Argolin! i have left a message on the talk pages at "wikiproject christian music" with a request that you do not link this project with the miranda stone wikipedia. I do not do "christian music," despite the fact that i have played venues like cornerstone and so on. The music falls into the genre of music with spiritual themes; music similar to bands like Over the Rhine or Sam Philips. i believe worship music falls under the category of "Christian music," if anything. Making a category about a person in a "living person biography" needs solid evidence from multiply sources. If a christian reviews an album, that does not make it christian. i was informed by a member of the group that you had added this link to the "Miranda stone" wikipedia so i would like to request you to remove it. You can email me if you need confirmation of my identity (theoffice@mirandastone.com) Thanks very much!

I have a pile of newspaper reviews that can't be accessed on line and have considered scanning them. If you need to see information, there are about 4 scanned articles in the review section of the website (www.mirandastone.com) It's about 15 years of doing music by a lot isn't up online anymore.

Why are you adding Category:1967 in Canadian music to Order of Canada? Nikkimaria ( talk) 14:00, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
It's true that the further back you go, the harder it may get to actually find relevant things — but look for things like that year's Juno or RPM Gold Leaf awards (if any) and that year's relevant entries from Category:Lists of number-one songs in Canada and Category:Lists of number-one albums in Canada (some still haven't been done yet but we have valid lists all the way back to sometime in the mid-1950s; don't forget to check the subcategories for country and CHUM charts!) I don't think that there are any annual music festivals where we've done an individual spinoff for each year (unlike a few of the US or British ones), but if you do come across any those would be appropriate — as would notable one-off events like the John Lennon peace concerts (which I see you've already gotten to.)
For more recent years, I think we do have spinoffs for individual years' MuchMusic Video Awards, and if we ever get around to expanding our coverage of the Prix Félix, or the East Coast Music Awards, to actually have annual nominee/winner lists the way we do for the Junos, those would be good additions too.
For what it's worth, the equivalent categories for American and British music haven't actually gone further back than the early 2000s yet — which is not to say that we can't go further back, of course, but it's almost certainly going to be harder to populate 1950s and 1960s categories than more contemporary ones. Bearcat ( talk) 05:47, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
No, articles shouldn't be left sitting with redlinked categories on them. If you can't justify creating (or don't want to create for whatever reason) a relevant category right away, then the category shouldn't be added to articles as a redlinked placeholder.

Hi Argolin, you recently removed a deletion tag from Editing Category:St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador articles by importance. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove speedy deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the tag. Although the deletion proposal may be incorrect, removing the tag is not the correct way for you to contest the deletion, even if you are more experienced than the nominator. Instead, please use the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. Remember to be patient, there is no harm in waiting for another experienced user to review the deletion and judge what the right course of action is.

The user that wrote this main page, mixed the punk stuff with rock. I know that's a shame, casue we had a few of note back in the day. Argolin ( talk) 12:27, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

It probably should be connected to the Canadian music project somehow, but I'm just not sure how best to do that since sound art, as such, isn't necessarily musical in nature (while it certainly can be, it can also be very different from what people normally understand as music.) If you've got any ideas, be my guest. Bearcat ( talk) 16:39, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
Is there an actual reason for the move? It's not inconsistent with our naming conventions for the article to be at "Brocoli" if that's the name she's best known by — so I'm perfectly willing to do the move if there's an actual reason, but not just because it's been requested with no real explanation for the request.

Hi. When you recently edited Vahram Sargsyan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Armenian ( 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.

I was so surprised about the length of the article today. Sorry to have created before you :) In fact I've created it yesterday to have an English interwiki in the French article (it's a kind of assurance about speed deletion, when there are articles in other languages). It's cool that you improved it. I'm not a native English speaker (but I live in Toronto), so that's why I just wrote two sentences. Thanks for the article! -- DeansFA ( talk) 07:33, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed that back in January you tagged a death date for Gaston Allaire with {{ citation needed}} as unsourced. Per WP:BLP, contentious information about potentially living persons (such as whether they have died) should be moved immediately without waiting for discussion, and not just tagged as needing a cite. I have updated the article accordingly; please try to remember to follow this rule in the future as incorrect information on living persons can have a detrimental real-world impact on people. – Grondemar 20:40, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
In your last comment in the RfD discussion, you said that you were working on a draft article to replace the redirect. I would like to close out this old discussion. I can find no draft article created, though.
If you have not yet posted your draft on Wikipedia, could I ask you to drop it into the page now? Leave the RfD tag at the top for now but replace everything beginning "#redirect..."
If you have posted your draft somewhere in Wikipedia (a user subpage, perhaps?), please drop me a note where it is and I will move your draft and it's pagehistory onto the current title. Thanks. Rossami (talk) 17:09, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
I'm proud of you, Argolin, for creating an article from a redirect I created. You should create another article from another redirect I created.

Long time no talk - hope your doing well ?
The article Artoffact Records has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
