Centenarians

Hello there. So I've been thinking about the nomination for Category:American men centenarians and I realize you are right about diffusing it. For that reason I've withdrawn my nomination. I wanted to ask if you're willing to help out on the matter and expand this particular tree beyond just "American men centenarians". We can start by populating this category and making an American women's category as well. Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:29, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, I can work on that some time. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 14:30, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Removing instead of verifying

I saw your suggestion to me on the Super Magick page to add citations to info, which is fine. I don’t usually see citations in infoboxes, so I left them out. As there are only two citations on the page, I think it’d be a cool move to check those references for data suspected to not be sourced rather than removing the data as unsourced or suggesting someone’s making it up. It’s totally cool if you don’t want to do that, but I think in that case, it’s maybe more friendly to use the talk page to hash out a plan than to just remove data that you don’t want to verify in citations already present on the page. I appreciate you taking the time to sort that out, though! Louie Mantia (talk) 10:52, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

@Louiemantia I was working quickly and didn't see all the info in there that you included, so that's my mistake. As for sources in infoboxes, those can be left out if the info is sourced elsewhere (i.e. the lead or body of the article), but if the infobox is the only place where it's mentioned then you should include a source for it.

My goodness, don’t delete pages like Super Magick before discussing it. That’s an actual published album by a known rock band that has been producing albums for decades.

AFAIK, notability isn’t decided by you. Louie Mantia (talk) 01:22, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

@Louiemantia it's called being bold. I gave it a look, found next to zero coverage and none that would match up with NMUSIC's criteria, and redirected. Now that you've undone that, I will start an AfD. It's a standard process. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 01:26, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Jasper Marsalis

Hi @QuietHere! I'm currently working on a draft for Jasper Marsalis and I've clocked you as the creator and primary contributor to the article surrounding his 2023 album Excelsior. Would you be interested in taking a look at what I've got so far (which, at the time of my writing this, is not much) and potentially contributing to this draft? There seems to be a lot of content about him online - definitely enough to warrant an article.

Also - you have great music taste! I've been tapped in for quite a while, and I've always wondered why Jasper didn't have a standalone article or really any significant mention on Wikipedia until recently. His content, in my opinion, is too interesting and genre-bending not to write about. Joeyquism (talk) 04:32, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

@Joeyquism looks good so far. If I get a chance, I may skim through sources and see what's useful, but it seems like you've got a good handle on it. And yeah, I've suspected for a while that he should have his own article here, but just never dug into it.

Funnily, I actually haven't listened to Excelsior and I'm not exactly a Slauson Malone fan. I believe I've heard a bit of A Quiet Farwell, but not the whole thing, and that's it that I can remember. If I remember correctly, I made the Excelsior article because a friend who is a big Slauson fan was wondering why there wasn't one. I probably should check his stuff out at some point given how highly he's spoken of. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 04:49, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the feedback! I greatly appreciate it, even if it's brief. Of course, you're not obligated to contribute, but you are definitely invited to do so nonetheless.

Also, I'd highly suggest checking his stuff out! It can be a bit sonically grating at times, but it's definitely worth a listen. He's got some very interesting spins on hip-hop and jazz on his solo work - nothing that I can say that I've heard anywhere else. Joeyquism (talk) 05:13, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring, as you did at Los Angeles (Lol Tolhurst, Budgie, and Jacknife Lee album). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Bbb23 (talk) 23:02, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Well that's certain something. Just gonna put these sources here [1][2][3] so I remember to come back to them later when this lifts. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 23:09, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Everyone's Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense

As I explained that six out of 16 songs were written by four members, but some of and not the most. For example, Mark Taylor and Paul Barry wrote four out of ten songs for Cher's album Believe. 183.171.120.43 (talk) 12:06, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

And as I explained in my undo, it doesn't matter whether it was the most credits (though it is still the plurality by several tracks), just that it was a lot of text and an easy way to reduce the amount of text on screen. If it being the majority were required, {{Track listing}} would say so, but it doesn't. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 12:30, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Ask @Ss112 or @Blueberry72 for help if they would know. 183.171.120.43 (talk) 18:52, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

DYK for What a Devastating Turn of Events

On 28 May 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article What a Devastating Turn of Events, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Rachel Chinouriri decided to include the English flag on the cover art of What a Devastating Turn of Events to celebrate her Black British identity? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/What a Devastating Turn of Events. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, What a Devastating Turn of Events), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.
