Hello there, it has been a while since I've been very busy working but I've recently nominated Kanye West's acclaimed 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy for FA status after running through it again and as a West fan, I thought you may be interested in leaving some comments at the FAC. K. Peake 21:43, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello - Just a friendly note to let you know that some edits who've made introduced false titles in sentences where one didn't exist prior to your edit (see: [1] ) - No worries, but your edit summaries refer to an essay, WP:FALSETITLE, that specifically advises against the edits who've made. I reverted the most recent two such edits, but it appears you might have done this at hundreds of articles (see link to edit summary search below). Please reread the essay and perhaps consider self-reverting these particular edits. Thank you. Señor Spock ( talk) 18:33, 2 February 2024 (UTC) Señor Spock ( talk) 18:33, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Zmbro, I hope you're well, and happy 2024! As you've probably noticed, I've been offline for a couple of months. Yeah, I know last year you and I tentatively planned to collaborate on "Cover Me" and I know I no doubt haven't been productive enough to give you confidence that it was worth your time to contribute either. Although I can't 100% promise I won't get busy again, I feel like the balance of my commitments and priorities in real life have shifted enough recently that I can probably get in a medium amount more Wiki time for the next while (and if I do get busy again and suddenly drop out once more, I sincerely apologize in advance). I see you've been making good progress with your Springsteen album article project (Darkness, and now working on Born to Run and The River). You'd originally proposed that we collaborate on one or more Springsteen album articles, and then I'd said maybe a song article would be less work and a better match for the amount of time I had. Now I'm thinking (a) You're making good progress on the albums, and when you eventually get to especially Born in the U.S.A. and maybe Tunnel of Love, I'd really like to be a part of that; and (b) It takes a lot of passion for the subject in order to commit to bringing an article to FA, and perhaps I never had the passion for "Cover Me" the song that I did for "I'm Goin' Down". Maybe collaborating on the album Born in the U.S.A. is a better match for both of us? I know you're in the middle of Born to Run and The River, but if I were to start working on Born in the U.S.A. relatively actively, do you think you'd have time to spare to work on it some now as well? I think I'd find that more motivating, and easier to not lose focus, if you were in there making a medium amount of edits at the same time as me. But, again, I know you're in the middle of other articles, and it may not be fair for me to ask you so suddenly to work on this now. Or if you do still really want to work on "Cover Me", that could be another option, but again, I think personally I'd lose motivation fast if I didn't see you in there making a medium amount of concurrent edits. Or, if you're currently too busy on Born to Run and The River to collaborate on anything with me now, maybe I'll start working on something completely different. Whatever you would like to work on with or without me is of course all good. :-) Let me know what you think, thanks, Zmbro! Moisejp ( talk) 03:09, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for your good start to adding info to the article in your sandbox! Just now I verified for the first time in a while that I still have access to Newspapers.com. Just looking in 1984 and 1985, there's 10,000 hits for Born in the USA in 1984, and 20,000 in 1985. I'm determined to make good use of Newspapers.com, but am probably going to take a few days or so to figure out my best plan of attack for getting good info from there without being overwhelmed by all the hits. Also, which books do you have easy access to--I think I remember you mentioning in the past that you'd got Margotin and Guesdon, for one? I can try to figure out what other essentials there are, such as Geoffrey Himes' and Heylin's books (if you don't have them), and see about getting them from the library. I have Dave Marsh's Glory Days - Bruce Springsteen in the 1980s. Moisejp ( talk) 06:16, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
I'd totally forgotten, but it seems I purchased the Kindle version of Heylin's Springsteen Song By Song in 2021. It doesn't have page numbers but it does have "Location"; it looks like there are precedents to use Kindle locations for citing, so that's good. As for Heylin's E Street Shuffle, I haven't explored in depth, but it seems like there's at least medium access available from here: https://openlibrary.org/works/OL17733205W/E_Street_shuffle. I'll see how far I get with that. So, I'm good, I've got Himes and the two Heylins. My deadline for a work deliverable is at the end of next week, then hopefully I'll have a bit more time to scour these sources. Cheers, Moisejp ( talk) 02:23, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Zimbro, I saw your contributions to " /info/en/?search=List_of_songs_recorded_by_David_Bowie" and hope you can explain why there are no "Tin Machine" songs on the list of songs recorded by Bowie. I understand that splitting hairs "Tin Machine" is NOT "Bowie" but neither were "Manish Boys" and "Pity the Fool" is on there. "Tin Machine" songs are credited to Bowie not David R. Jones ... Also why is "Hop Frog" not on the list? Not criticizing just curious. Thank you. DeadAgainstIt ( talk) 13:22, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi, just a quick question for you. Is there a way to provide editors of the Star Wars page some helpful resources without triggering an edit notice?

Hello! I was thinking about moving List of songs recorded by Coldplay to List of songs written by Coldplay, since the page now includes unreleased material (some of which the band only performed live) and a few works they gave away to other artists. I decided to contact you specifically because you were responsible for making that article Featured. Do you have any objections towards my idea?

Hi there,
I noticed that you undid the revision I made to this page yesterday. Apologies for not explaining what I did. Freeman did indeed show the band photographic tranparencies of the Yesterday and Today cover during that shoot. However, what George Harrison is holding in his hand is no such thing; it's one of the colour filters (gels) from the photographic lights. You can see that this is so more clearly in this photograph: [2] https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/oct/27/the-beatles-revolver-album-special-edition-super-deluxe-review (with Lennon holding one up directly in front of his face). I hope this is useful. Thanks. 176.85.135.155 ( talk) 13:37, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello! I was reading the List of songs by Taylor Swift talk page and found an interesting conversation. Basically, they removed the "recorded" and "written" distinction to better encompass unreleased material while also making sure to include the covers that Swift released over the years. Do I have your permission to move List of songs written by Coldplay again or should I just remove the covers? GustavoCza ( talk • contribs) 23:31, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey, I was wondering if you could help me with citing a book. It's for this page. If you scroll to the bottom, you'll see only one book under Works Cited: Books. I want to be able to make SFN citations for this book. Right now there's just one, in the lead, but when I click on the authors' names in the note, it doesn't take me to the bottom of the page like it's supposed to. The SFN shows up under Citations as the first entry: Hidalgo & Sansweet, p.333. Hopefully it makes sense what I'm asking. Wafflewombat ( talk) 07:15, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
