Deletion review for Aleksandrs Čekulajevs
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Aleksandrs Čekulajevs. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:03, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
Biruitorul
Biruitorul implied that your IQ is low, and I figured I'd let you know. --Madmans stone (talk) 20:10, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
- He may have meant that his own edits were responsible for the perceived change. Who knows? --Michig (talk) 20:26, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
- Who indeed? Meanwhile, let me note that Madmans stone, like earlier incarnations Ondskan2 and Redroom2, is a sockpuppet of banned User:Anittas. (Note the pattern of stalking me, Dahn and Anonimu.) It would be prudent to block him and strike his two votes in deletion discussions. - Biruitorul Talk 20:37, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Could you opine on this this matter. Regards AdabowtheSecond (talk) 18:31, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
In Connection with the Artist Da'Ville
Hello Michig,
I am assisting the Artist Da’ville (Singer) to update his Wikipedia page – Da’ville wrote the bio himself, plus amended some other data which was incorrect, for example the record company names etc., plus he sent me a new photo that he wished to be uploaded and used. I sent an email to wiki admin confirming copyright and legality of the photograph; I received positive confirmation of my request. I have rechecked Da’ville’s Wikipedia page and I have noticed that you have amended the page back to the old version, where the details including bio is incorrect? I have reinstated the correct version and I would respectfully request that you allow the correct content to remain! If you require confirmation from the artist himself then please contact me Paul_Tandy@hotmail.com and I will pass his contact details over to you!
Sincere best wishes — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paultandy (talk • contribs) 07:01, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply, just for re-clarification, the source of the information updated was from the artist himself and not my personal view! Clearly you prefer none bonafide information rather than from the person whose life is being written about? The image you continue to use is an old image and for this reason I requested and had approved from Wikipedia admin to use, I would ask that you would kindly reinstate this image please. Also, I note that you have removed Daville’s Date of birth? Daville himself confirmed to me that his DOB on the old version was incorrect? I understand that some of the new content could be seen as self-publication; therefore I agree that maybe some of the content was outside of Wikipedia rules - That said a lot of the new content which you have removed was correct information. If the information being supplied is by the very person himself, then I am therefore miffed as to why you continue to disbelieve the new content supplied. Once again in the interest of the truth, I would ask you to email me so I can provide you the contact person who will confirm that some of the information you persist to allow to go public is incorrect? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paultandy (talk • contribs) 19:08, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- Information needs to be verifiable and sourced. If you have any specific issues with the article as it is, please discuss them on the article's talk page (Talk:Da'Ville). Thanks. --Michig (talk) 11:46, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

EADT
Hi, I didn't mean to revert you on the word Anglian, we just got caught up in editing at the same time. Sorry you had to make the edit twice. Regards, WWGB (talk) 09:57, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello! I saw that you removed the PROD from Sacrifice (band). It appears that you are an expert (or at least very knowledgable) in the subject area, and I won't bother with taking the article to AfD. However, I am frustrated that the article has existed for over a year without any sourcing; and that you gave information in your edit summary that I have been unable to verify. It may very well be that Sacrifice is notable and meets WP:NBAND per item #5 (two or more albums on a major label), but outside of Allmusic I have been completely unable to verify even that.
Would you consider revisiting the article and providing some RS if you have them? I don't really have an interest in starting to remove the unsourced material, but there is contentious material there. Thanks for your consideration, and Happy Editing! --Tgeairn (talk) 17:54, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
- I'll see what I can do. Might have time this evening otherwise will look at it tomorrow.--Michig (talk) 20:09, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
Guns 'N Roses
Hey there, do you have any Stone Roses bios on hand? How are their quality, reliability, sourcing, and comprehensiveness? I bought an issue of Q lately with the Roses on the cover, and the cover story was written by someone with a new bio about the band coming out that sounded pretty thorough. WesleyDodds (talk) 13:20, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
- I've got John Robb's book (The Stone Roses and the Resurrection of British Pop) which is pretty good - a lot of it's first hand, and it covers the early history quite well, although Robb is quite close to the band so it perhaps puts a more positive slant on some of the things that went on than others might, but he has an insight that someone simply sifting through old sources wouldn't have. It looks like his new book from earlier this year is an update on this. Mick Middles and Simon Spence also have books on the Roses out recently (I think the Q article was by Spence), but I don't have either - not a fan of the band to be honest. I started working through the Stone Roses article using the John Robb book as a source but gave up at about the release of the first album (The Stone Roses rather than the dire Garage Flower) for several reasons. --Michig (talk) 13:47, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Bark Bark Bark
The Original Barnstar | ||
Great work finding the sources for Bark Bark Bark. That inspired me to take another look through the Interwebs where I found a couple decent write-ups on Jacob Cooper/Safari. I also agree with your suggestion to rename the article so that it incorporates his previous bands/projects. For this, and all of your excellent contributions to AfD, I want to thank you with this barnstar! Gongshow Talk 06:31, 4 September 2012 (UTC) |
Thanks. And thanks for digging deeper into the subject in question - hopefully we'll end up with a reasonable article at the end of this. It's a constant challenge to get editors to look beyond the current state of articles and to consider options other than deletion, and it's always good when people are prepared to change their mind, so thanks for that as well.--Michig (talk) 18:31, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
- Yep, I know what you mean. Two of my favorite lines I've seen around here are "Unsourced ≠ Unsourceable" and "Redirects are cheap". Cheers, Gongshow Talk 20:07, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Logo in name section
Please stop reverting my work as matter has already been resolved with an Admin!! K. (talk) 17:36, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- Really? Which admin decided you should use that logo in the infobox? --Michig (talk) 21:18, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- User:Walter Görlitz didn't say I should but said I could. K. (talk) 21:41, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
Re:September
Well just delete the disreputable sources then, no need to undo a good article like that. That's vandalism and if it keeps up I will have no choice but to report you to a higher authority. K. (talk) 21:41, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
I sincerely suggest you take it to the talk page if you dispute those sources. Sure they're not all reputable but I'm pretty sure most of them, the CD inlays & Tanya herself are reputable enough to know that it's Stephenson. K. (talk) 21:47, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- As explained on the talk page, the current version is not by any means a good article. --Michig (talk) 22:41, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
Thank you
On another note, thank you for providing sources to Gangsta Blues, I really want that article & Rebelution (Tanya Stephens album) to become Good Articles. K. (talk) 17:38, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
Tanya Stephens
I suggest you take it to the talk page before you both hit 3RR and get reported. Kerfuffler (talk) 21:43, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- I feel I've done all I can here - User:Djjazzyb simply isn't listening. It is completely unacceptable to replace a properly sourced BLP with an article full of unsourced statements and citations to sites like iTunes, discogs, rateyourmusic, and the German Wikipedia. If you really want to help you could restore the article to the last good version. --Michig (talk) 22:19, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- You added a Refimprove tag to the article, but the version before Djjazzyb started editing it was properly referenced. --Michig (talk) 22:53, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- Yes. What led me here was that I saw it in RecentChanges, and observed there was a long string of references that didn't seem to make much sense; thus my tag. I hadn't looked at the page history at that point. Kerfuffler (talk) 23:06, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
Could you please make your way to Talk:Tanya Stephens ASAP as I really wish to resolve the whole Stephens/Stephenson issue. I would also like to apolagise personally for being immature yesterday. I can see that you do a good job here, and you have improved the Tanya Stephens article quite a bit since yesterday. K. (talk) 04:09, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Re:
Sorry about that, I don't really get how cites work yet, will learn up on it. K. (talk) 14:02, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
If you're not too busy, is there any chance you could help me turn Sintoxicated from the stub it is now to a full article please? K. (talk) 14:20, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
- I've had a look but couldn't find much online other than it being described as "disastrous" in Vibe, but there's only a snippet view of that article here. --Michig (talk) 14:26, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Disastrous? That's a bit harsh, I'm listening to it now & I love it. Lol. But, I found that the album had charted in sweden and I've added that to the article, I tried to add it to Tanya Stephens in the discography section but I couldn't figure out how to add it in? K. (talk) 14:32, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Thumbs up
Thumbs up | |
Just wanted to say thanks for helping out with those Tanya articles, and to say no hard feelings about before K. (talk) 20:02, 10 September 2012 (UTC) |
Thanks. If I can help out with any other articles I will. --Michig (talk) 20:17, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
No problem, and if anything comes up I'll keep you in mind :-) K. (talk) 20:20, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, I recently wrote an article Many Moods of Moses a beenie man album and that could still use a lot of work. K. (talk) 20:22, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
And same to you, if you have anything you need elp with or anything you want me to do, I'm pretty much always happy to do what I can. K. (talk) 20:26, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
- I've added a source to Many Moods of Moses and some categories. There should be plenty around that can be used in this one. --Michig (talk) 20:37, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
I'd of thought so, I know that Who Am I (Sim Simma) is one of his most popular songs of all time, not just on this album as at has been used in Saint Row 2 & referenced by Nelly so should be quite easy to find some BG info, thanks K. (talk) 20:44, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
These should be useful:
- Allmusic review
- Billboard stating that it was the number one reggae album of the year in the US (result 2)
- Vibe
- Billboard again
- Spin review
- Paolo Ferrari's book
- CityPages review. --Michig (talk) 21:10, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, I'll add those now, thanks. By the way, do you happen to know why my recently created albums don't appear in the list when I type them into the search box? K. (talk) 22:26, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
Hey, My Way (Lady Saw album) needs some more information and sourcing if you're up for it? Cheers, K. (talk) 02:34, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi Michig. You warned User:99.99.174.248 about disruptive editing.[1] I believe they are the sockpuppet of Wikijustice2013, who has been copy/pasting the same "vote" and comment in many AfDs. I put a comment into all those AfDs to make editors aware of what's going on. By the way, the two editors both "voted" in this Afd for Kik Tracee. --76.189.97.91 (talk) 21:04, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
- Update: Nevermind. :) Both 99.99.174.248 and Wikijustice2013 have been blocked by Postdlf for sockpuppetry and retaliatory AfD postings.[2][3]. --76.189.97.91 (talk) 03:48, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
- You're very welcome. :) --76.189.97.91 (talk) 07:07, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Could you help me out please?
Hey, I'm writing an article for Barrington Levy's Love The Life You Live album, and I'm having a really hard time finding the release date as all the sources point to a different date (I've seen '87 - '93). Any other info you can find on it would be deeply appreciated also, thanks, K. (talk) 01:43, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- I have two books which say 1988, but I believe that the original release was on the Time 1 label, and you can see here that on the label it says 1989. The French issue on Blue Moon also has 1989 on the label. It has been reissued since, e.g. by VP Records, but I think 1989 was the first release. They wouldn't say published 1989 if it had been released earlier. The infobox should reflect the original release - in this case 1989 and Time 1/Blue Moon.--Michig (talk) 06:07, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
Hello again, as you might of noticed, my Wayne Jarrett article is coming along quite nicely, but I could really use some help with it if you're not too busy, thanks ever so much, K. (talk) 22:15, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- P.S., mind if I ask your name? I'm just find it quite informal that I keep asking you for help with my articles but I don't know your name, lol, mines Kane :-) K. (talk) 22:15, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- Will try to take a look this evening. Just Michig (talk) 06:10, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
- Have had a look but aside from brief mentions in The Rough Guide to Reggae and The Virgin Encylopedia of Reggae which don't say much about him beyond his similarity to Horace Andy and the fact that he recorded for Glen Brown and Bullwackie, I didn't find much. There's This, and this shows him at #2 in a reggae chart, but there's not enough on view to tell much about it. Hopefully something will turn up. A bit of general advice - it's best to find at least 2 or 3 good sources before you create an article because new articles without enough sources tend to get tagged for deletion. --Michig (talk) 18:32, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Thanks you, I was originally gonna do I Roy but I couldn't find anything at all about him. So I went to the WP:REGGAE section to see what other articles needed creating and I saw Wayne Jarrett, I couldn't resist as my last name is also Jarrett. K. (talk) 18:49, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

I have proposed merging the article Esperanto music with the article Esperanto culture. You participated in a discussion of a proposal to delete the Esperanto music article earlier this year.

Blur disruption
Michig, thanks for blocking the disruptive IP for a day, but it looks like he's back with a different address (also from Florida). Is there a case of protecting the page to prevent further disruption?—indopug (talk) 02:43, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
- I'll keep an eye on it. With only a couple of IPs being used, further blocks may be more appropriate, but if there's more IP-hopping I'll semi-protect it. --Michig (talk) 07:36, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
Recreation of article
Hello! I request the recreation of the article with the name Christos Intzidis. I have the article already ready but I am not able to create it as it is locked. The football player has already participated in two league games and one european, so I believe that the article should be created as it meets the criteria needed. As I say above I have the article ready. Thank you in advance. Katantonis (talk) 14:42, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
- I have restored the previous version, which you can now edit. Regards. --Michig (talk) 18:27, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
Notable '80s bands without articles
I see you have a pile of redlinks to these on User:Michig/ToDo List (which I found 'cos Chakk, which I just started, is linked off it). I concur with pretty much the whole list. The trouble is, of course, that history started in 1995 and the only sources for these bands are that "paper" stuff that primitive prehistoric humanoids used. I left my NME archive in Australia, and it got eaten by silverfish anyway. So where would we start on tracking down someone who actually still has all their old music papers, and wouldn't object to a bunch of Wikipedians fondling them? I wonder if the deposit libraries have them - David Gerard (talk) 10:57, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- I can't remember now what I did with my old NME, Sounds, and Melody Makers, but I don't have them any more. I know the library service where I live used to get weekly music papers in every week. Whether they continued to store them somewhere, in an era where council buildings are being sold off and cuts made across the board, I doubt. Most on my todo list are bands that I do have sources for, generally in books that cover the era (e.g. Strong's Discography books or Larkin's Encyclopedia of Popular Music and its derivatives), but haven't got round to doing yet. There's always Rocksbackpages.com, but that seems to have an annoying (but understandable) habit of concentrating on bands and artists that have maintained interest levels over the years. It would be great if these old music papers could be digitized and made available online, but until that happens, it's going to be relatively difficult (bit not impossible) to create those article. I'll see what I can find on Chakk to add to the article. --Michig (talk) 11:27, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- I've added what I can. I seem to remember, by the way, that there's a template to go on the talk page of articles that have been mentioned in newspapers. --Michig (talk) 12:41, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
