In researching stuff on the Lovin' Spoonful, I read in the autobiography of their bass player Steve Boone that on April 17, 1966 – the day before the Spoonful were to play at the Marquee Club in London – he swung by the venue and saw "some cat named David Bowie" playing. Does this sound plausible? I thought it was a cool little bit of trivia, but I'm also trying to gauge Boone's reliability in general. Tkbrett (✉) 13:30, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi, you reverted my comment:
"Volume of original CD was increased well above digital clipping (more than +10dB), making it's sound quality quite bad and this release is used as an example of [[loudness war]] victim."
Source is my own copy ripped and opened in CoolEdit back in 1999 by myself after listening and perceiving something bad was happening on my Hifi. Discovered LoudnessWar on that precise moment. Had to use Clip Restoration which recovered peaks over +10dB above saturation (obviously had to reduce overall level -12dB and burn a CD-R which had better sound than original). Sources are on same Californication wiki article. And: https://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/117926 DR4 is one of the worst loudnesswars offenders. Isidroco ( talk) 23:27, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I've noticed that you are citing Nicholas Ferguson as the music video director of David Bowie's "Heroes" on multiple articles, and deleting and/or reverting edits I've made that cite Stanley Dorfman as the music video's director. If you look at the both the IMDB for the "Heroes" music video ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6825410/) and the Dorfman IMDB page ( https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0233578/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1) you will see that Dorfman was the video's director. If you take a look at Ferguson's IMDB page however, ( https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0272564/) you will see that he is not listed as the video's director. Dorfman is also listed as the video's director of the music video on the BBC website on the link about the film about "Heroes" made by Bowie's Producer Tony Visconti https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03g18sx and his is listed as it's director on Metropolitan Museum of Art website, which includes the video in it's permanent collection ( https://www.moma.org/collection/works/118096?artist_id=34111&page=1&sov_referrer=artist). Dorfman is also listed as the director in the book 'David Bowie and the Art of Music Video' by Lisa Perrott https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/david-bowie-and-the-art-of-music-video-9781501335143/. (Despite Pegg's misinformation in his book, Ferguson did not direct the actual music video for "Heroes" in 1977, however he did direct a television show in which Bowie performed the song live that year (See here: https://www.thinwhiteduke.net/14/david-bowie-performances/david-bowie-heroes-marc-bolan-tv-show/, and Furguson also worked as and art director for Ready Steady Go! the telvision show directed by Stanley Dorfman) SacredLotus7 ( talk) 22:03, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi again, you had reverted the image/screenshot of the Music video for Bowie's "Heroes" that I had added saying "as lined out on the image's page, this violates NPCC#8: it does not contribute to the understanding of the article; plus, we already have two images in the section that better aid in the understanding of promotion". The rationale for NPCC#8 has been updated on the image page and will not have been determined to fail it until it has been reviewed on Saturday, 24 June 2023. Until such time if you remove it from the article again you will cause it to fail NPCC#9. I believe that the image meets NPCC#8 as it aids in identification and commentary on the official music video for the subject of the article, which is the song, and provides an understanding of the video's visual content; which cannot be rendered through just text or the other two images that presently exist in the section. As such, I respectfully ask that you allow the image to remain without reverting it again in order that it can be assessed whether it meets NPCC#8, without you causing it to fail NPCC#9 by it's removal.

Hey zim. I was hoping to improve the Lovin' Spoonful discography page and to eventually nominate it as a Featured List. I haven't had any experience nominating list articles, so I was hoping you could help me make sure it all looked good, since I know you have plenty of experience with list articles.

I've blocked the IP for 72 hours. Looking at behavioural evidence here and here, based on edit summaries and what they want to edit, I think this editor has previously edited under an account that is now indefinitely blocked. However, the only evidence I have is circumstantial. Although Informed analysis frequently edited logged out, as documented at ANI, the IPs there are in Canada, whereas this one is in Madrid, so the technical evidence is not there. Perhaps I need someone like Auntie Bishonen who has far less moral dilemmas about simply saying "whose sock are you"? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:22, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

In researching stuff on the Lovin' Spoonful, I read in the autobiography of their bass player Steve Boone that on April 17, 1966 – the day before the Spoonful were to play at the Marquee Club in London – he swung by the venue and saw "some cat named David Bowie" playing. Does this sound plausible? I thought it was a cool little bit of trivia, but I'm also trying to gauge Boone's reliability in general. Tkbrett (✉) 13:30, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi, you reverted my comment:
"Volume of original CD was increased well above digital clipping (more than +10dB), making it's sound quality quite bad and this release is used as an example of [[loudness war]] victim."
Source is my own copy ripped and opened in CoolEdit back in 1999 by myself after listening and perceiving something bad was happening on my Hifi. Discovered LoudnessWar on that precise moment. Had to use Clip Restoration which recovered peaks over +10dB above saturation (obviously had to reduce overall level -12dB and burn a CD-R which had better sound than original). Sources are on same Californication wiki article. And: https://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/117926 DR4 is one of the worst loudnesswars offenders. Isidroco ( talk) 23:27, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I've noticed that you are citing Nicholas Ferguson as the music video director of David Bowie's "Heroes" on multiple articles, and deleting and/or reverting edits I've made that cite Stanley Dorfman as the music video's director. If you look at the both the IMDB for the "Heroes" music video ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6825410/) and the Dorfman IMDB page ( https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0233578/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1) you will see that Dorfman was the video's director. If you take a look at Ferguson's IMDB page however, ( https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0272564/) you will see that he is not listed as the video's director. Dorfman is also listed as the video's director of the music video on the BBC website on the link about the film about "Heroes" made by Bowie's Producer Tony Visconti https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03g18sx and his is listed as it's director on Metropolitan Museum of Art website, which includes the video in it's permanent collection ( https://www.moma.org/collection/works/118096?artist_id=34111&page=1&sov_referrer=artist). Dorfman is also listed as the director in the book 'David Bowie and the Art of Music Video' by Lisa Perrott https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/david-bowie-and-the-art-of-music-video-9781501335143/. (Despite Pegg's misinformation in his book, Ferguson did not direct the actual music video for "Heroes" in 1977, however he did direct a television show in which Bowie performed the song live that year (See here: https://www.thinwhiteduke.net/14/david-bowie-performances/david-bowie-heroes-marc-bolan-tv-show/, and Furguson also worked as and art director for Ready Steady Go! the telvision show directed by Stanley Dorfman) SacredLotus7 ( talk) 22:03, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi again, you had reverted the image/screenshot of the Music video for Bowie's "Heroes" that I had added saying "as lined out on the image's page, this violates NPCC#8: it does not contribute to the understanding of the article; plus, we already have two images in the section that better aid in the understanding of promotion". The rationale for NPCC#8 has been updated on the image page and will not have been determined to fail it until it has been reviewed on Saturday, 24 June 2023. Until such time if you remove it from the article again you will cause it to fail NPCC#9. I believe that the image meets NPCC#8 as it aids in identification and commentary on the official music video for the subject of the article, which is the song, and provides an understanding of the video's visual content; which cannot be rendered through just text or the other two images that presently exist in the section. As such, I respectfully ask that you allow the image to remain without reverting it again in order that it can be assessed whether it meets NPCC#8, without you causing it to fail NPCC#9 by it's removal.

I've blocked the IP for 72 hours. Looking at behavioural evidence here and here, based on edit summaries and what they want to edit, I think this editor has previously edited under an account that is now indefinitely blocked. However, the only evidence I have is circumstantial. Although Informed analysis frequently edited logged out, as documented at ANI, the IPs there are in Canada, whereas this one is in Madrid, so the technical evidence is not there. Perhaps I need someone like Auntie Bishonen who has far less moral dilemmas about simply saying "whose sock are you"? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:22, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article David Bowie Narrates Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

Thank you for bringing so much great Bowie music to Wikipedia throughout the year.
Your contributions bring joy to our global readership, and to me personally. Thank you for what you do! Happy New Year and cheers, Netherzone ( talk) 02:59, 31 December 2023 (UTC) |
