Hello, I added a reference to Squarepusher's philosphy. Is it alright? Ultravisitor 06:11, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"Always bet on black", was in the trailer, but I didn't see it in the version of the film I saw. -- Geo Swan 22:53, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK. But that wasn't me; I've never used that template. No problem tho. Herostratus 03:21, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oh! You're right! That was wayyyy back on November 20, I'd forgotten. Sorry to put you through the trouble of looking it up. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that's the only time I used it... I was pretty new then. But thanks for the info about how to use it, I appreciate it! Herostratus 03:38, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I would just like to show my appreciation to the work you've been doing in WikiProject Albums. Keep it up! :) Gflores ^Talk 04:12, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I hadn't noticed the new stars template. Sorry about that. Thanks for telling me. Gflores ^Talk 20:30, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not keeping a list (there'd be no point, I change the links as I see them). Once in a while, I go to Special:Whatlinkshere/Rock and roll and start clicking links. They've got heavy metal up there now. Tsh.... these guys must be about a hundred years old.... "Ah, yes, heavy metal.... it's a sort of rock and roll, isn't it? You know, from those new gramophone records...." TheMadBaron 17:38, 12 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the help on those! Crazyale 13:42, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for dropping by and enlightening me with the album infobox usage. -- ReyBrujo 18:02, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As well it should have - the template he was removing, Template:Stars, is slated for deletion. Please do not use meta-templates to display your music ratings. Phil Sandifer 21:38, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Slicing, I was this close to just removing every one of those spam-like All Music links. Upon further investigation, that site rates by comparing works to other works by the same artist. Combine that poor system with the site's commercial nature, and I doubt very much the All Music belongs here. In the meantime, I will be looking into this template substitution bug and resolve it. Right now, I think removing All Music links to be the quickest solution, and not at all a bad one. -- Netoholic @ 23:37, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I don't care if they are accurate or not. Why should Wikipedia bother with keeping in sync with any external website? If I can find a bot-driven way to fix the ratings, I will. If not, then I'm not going to worry too much. -- Netoholic @ 23:46, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep up the good work! Gflores ^Talk 05:19, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:HymnToFreedom.ogg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
