[edit] The Warning

You're still banned, so please avoid editing the articles until that changes. I'm glad that your changes have been accurate and good and that you've been nicely filling out edit summaries, but until either Jimbo Wales or the Arbitration Committee decides to unban you, your edits are at risk of being reverted.

Anyway, this is just a suggestion, and I won't revert or delete your edits myself as long as they're accurate. Guan aco 20:27, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Good. Because, I don't like it when people revert my edits. Also, I know i'm still banned. -- Mike Garcia 20:29, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Edits on Hollywood Potato Chip

The track times added to Hollywood Potato Chip were inaccurate [1] according to Allmusic.com. I know that you were just reinstating your old edits, but if you add any more inaccurate information, I will have to start reverting you. Guan aco 20:38, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Just so you know, "dab" stands for disambiguation. Don't use it unless that's what you're doing. Thanks. Guan aco 20:43, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Well, I won't add anything inaccurate. So that I won't have my edits reverted after all. -- Mike Garcia 20:55, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Where to get recording dates from infoboxes

Where do you get the recording dates for all the infoboxes? Do you just guess, or is there a site or book with this information? Guan aco 21:00, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I just think sometimes or guess or something like that, yeah. -- Mike Garcia

If you don't know, just use "???". That's better than adding information to an article that could be incorrect. Guan aco 21:08, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Yeah, I did that one before. I think I can do that when I make new articles soon. -- Mike Garcia 21:20, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Bad Religion

According to Allmusic.com, '80-'85 was released in 1990, not 1991. Can you explain this edit? Guan aco 21:28, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Yeah, but, 1991 was stamped on the tray card and disc, even on the re-issued version like Against the Grain, it said it on there too, but the orginal was ok (1990). There must be a confusion on that one same as what I did on Against the Grain. -- Mike Garcia 21:31, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

You're right. [2] But it's best to go with the earliest release and to use a source like Amazon, Rolling Stone, or Allmusic. Guan aco 21:38, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

When, the page '80-'85 is created we'll just put the confusion like I did on Against the Grain. -- Mike Garcia 21:41, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Is the confusion you mentioned why Against the Grain (album) has both Category:1990 albums and Category:1991 albums? You should only use one "xxxx albums" category per article. Choose the one that's in the infobox. Guan aco 21:49, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Well, I just took it off. It was there a long time ago, Category:1991 albums before I moved it to Against the Grain (album) -- Mike Garcia 21:52, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Thanks. There's some more information on the proper style for these articles at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums. Guan aco 21:54, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

You've been editing some lists to say that Against the Grain was released in 1991. [3] [4] [5] Why? Guan aco 22:01, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Well, don't worry. I'll try my best and fix a few mistakes that are linked to it. -- Mike Garcia 22:03, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I can't just not worry. The album was released in 1990. Guan aco 22:08, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I know that. If any article like that says 1991 on it i'll just put the right year, that's all. So that, there won't be any mistakes. -- Mike Garcia 22:09, 25 Aug 2004

But you put the wrong year when you changed 1990 to 1991. Guan aco 22:11, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Sorry about that. Let's not talk about or worry about it anymore. I just put the right year on it. -- Mike Garcia 22:12, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 5½ stars out of 5

Why did you write that Seventh Son of a Seventh Son earned 5½ stars out of 5 when it really only earned 4½? It's impossible for an album to earn more than 5 stars from Allmusic.com. This really looks like one of your typical pranks, but no one thinks it's funny. If you want to create articles with jokes, please do so in pages like User:Mike Garcia/Sandbox, Wikipedia:Sandbox, and User:Mike Garcia/Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Guan aco 23:55, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Okay, i'll do it right next time I create an infobox on any album. -- Mike Garcia 23:57, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Thanks. Please remember not to do anything silly in articles, because it just hurts Wikipedia's credibility when people look up an album and later find out that the article is wrong. Guan aco 00:01, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Yes, and I just fixed two errors in the The Colour and the Shape infobox that you added. If you can't make an effort to add only correct information, please don't edit Wikipedia. Tuf-Kat 00:06, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] An e-mail from Danny

Hi Mike. I just sent you an email. Danny 02:31, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Okay, I just wrote back. -- Mike Garcia

[edit] An e-mail from Nick

I also sent you an e-mail Mike.--Plato 01:09, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I know. I just read it already. -- Mike Garcia 15:10, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Question

In which year did the anarchist punk band Crass form? quercus robur 23:29, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Just 1977. -- Mike Garcia 01:40, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Just a quick note to welcome you back. I hope that you reply the trust the Jimbo has placed in you by allowing you back. Theresa Knott (Nate the Stork) 23:31, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] 20 edit limit

I just wanted to note that you've exceeded your 20 edit limit. I thought I should tell you so it doesn't get reduced to 19 and so your edits don't get reverted. Guan aco 23:58, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Actually, never mind. I forgot about the time zone difference. I'll check and then tell you if you've gone over the limit. Guan aco 00:00, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Okay, you're doing great. You have ~~three~~ four more edits (excluding your user pages and talk pages) after Doolittle (album). If you stay within the limit for two days, your limit will be raised to 21. Guan aco 00:04, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for staying within the limit. As you probably know, you're at 20, but feel free to make articles within your userspace (and move them tomorrow) and comment on talk pages. Guan aco 01:01, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Disabled cookies on Mike's account

I am checking right now, Mike. Danny 14:14, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I sent you an email with some advice. Danny 14:22, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I cannot log in on my Yahoo account because the cookies are disabled. How can I or somebody un-disable my account on Yahoo and here? -- Mike Garcia 14:37, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I dont know why that happened. I sent you an email which said that you should try clearing all your cookies and rebooting. If that doesnt work, let me know. Danny 21:43, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Let me know if it is working now. Danny 22:09, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Mike, try making a new account: Mike_Garcia2. Maybe that will help. Danny 16:01, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I havent seen you around. Are you still having problems with logging in? Danny 23:51, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Yes. I tried making a new account Mike_Garcia2 but nothing's working at all. Maybe i'll make a different account which is not my name. -- Mike Garcia 22:18, 10 Sep 2004

I'm probably gonna come back as an IP address until I find a way to un-disable ASAP. Then everything goes back to normal. -- Mike Garcia 22:25, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Hi Mike. I guess that will be okay. Just keep to the edit limit and please write "By Mike Garcia" in the summary box. Thanks, Danny 23:09, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Editing as an anon

Not to throw too many additional restrictions, but would it be possible for Mike to, if he's editing as an anon, make a user subpage that contains links to his edits as well, just so there is something resembling a User Contributions page for him? Snowspinner 23:33, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Opportunity knocks

Hi "Mike". I thought I'd just drop in to give you an opportunity to apologize for all your unbelievable rudeness in the past when I kept reverting you for violating the hard ban that you were under at the time. Of course, since you've been allowed by our fearless leader to edit again, you've technically had this opportunity for 3-4 weeks now, but hey, I figured I'd refresh your memory. Cheers! --Dante Alighieri | Talk 18:08, Sep 30, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Finally un-disabled and back again

Hello, everybody I'm back again now and finally got my account un-disabled. -- Mike Garcia 22:28, 30 Sep 2004

Hi Mike. Nice to see you back. Glad that your account was finally un-disabled. Danny 23:37, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

It's nice to see you again too. -- Mike Garcia 00:54, 3 Oct 2004

[edit] Barnstar

I award you the barnstar of diligence for your recent work in WikiProject Albums and for the great improvement you have made to the accuracy of your additions. Guan aco 18:11, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

OK. Thank you. -- Mike Garcia 18:12, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
