Hi, I've moved your comment from the Dark Galaxy talk page to the AfD page. If you'd like to change your comment (such as whether you feel the article should be deleted or not), feel free to do so. --Wafulz 14:31, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concepto Radial

The author of that page asked about why it was marked as spam here. You may be interested. I've removed the question from there, as that's the wrong place for it, but as it seemed reasonably polite, I thought I'd let you know. JesseW, the juggling janitor 18:05, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Carter Genealogy

Yeah, I was kind of suspicious of the President and singers being 'distantly related'. So I did some careful googling, and found that, which I think rules out the two lines being related, for all intents and purposes. I have not seen any evidence about the Elvis link, but the same source says there is concrete proof, so that's good enough for me. P.S. Usually people post comments on another user's talk page, not their user page... Alcuin 11:44, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John Dexter

(And? Tell us more.)

Yeah, OK, give me a chance! I am currently working on the Royal National Theatre page which is full of red links, and I'm trying to get rid of them by creating stubs for Dexter, Michael Blakemore and others. Please don't fret. They will be fleshed out soon. Orbicle 17:45, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

No worries; that's why God created {{hangon}}. It's hard to tell from just looking at such wee new articles. Best of luck with it! -Stellmach 17:49, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lost Highway Records site

Regarding the Whiskeytown Lost Highway Records link, being "official" doesn't make a site not linkspam. Every online store out there is "official" from the vendor's point of view.

In this particular case, there is no content at that link about Whiskeytown other than a promotional paragraph (labelled "Biography" but not actually containing any biographical information) and a link to buy the band's product.

Please take a closer look at what's actually on that site, and compare to Wikipedia:External links regarding link spamming. If Whiskeytown have a more useful web site than their label's online sales portal, I trust you to find it and improve the article. --Stellmach 13:44, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Honestly, I think that it fits the criteria of not being link spam. Yes, their record is being sold there, but however, it is the only official web site they currently have by nature of the band being broken up for seven years, and on top of that, the site also includes free audio samples, which one could argue is quite relevant for people interested in the band. Leave it in. - Stick Fig 13:50, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Joiner

I've just fixed Template:Infobox musical artist. I don't know if you've done it to any other pages, but for future information,  is the Unicode byte-order mark. Since I edited that template I discovered [1] that its primary name is indeed "ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE" - I've no idea why this codepoint should be allowed to have two meanings; in SeaMonkey 1.0.5 (Mac) at least, it renders as an unknown character glyph. OTOH, ‍ is "ZERO WIDTH JOINER" and renders OK on both SeaMonkey and Safari. -- Smjg 21:44, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Johnny Cash genres

And you honestly think only rock musicians are inducted...? That's part of why the R&R Hall of Fame is said to be a joke: musicians who aren't "rock 'n roll" or "rock" are being inducted (such as Johnny Cash). Pretty common knowledge, really. -- User:RattleandHum 1 November 2006

I'll grant that they induct people based on historical significance as well as genre of work. Nevertheless, the claim that Cash wasn't a rock n' roll artist is absurd on the face of it. One need only listen to any of his Sun Records catalog. -Stellmach 21:06, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
