Hey! I was just watching Spicks and Specks, and Ross Wilson just happened to mention the Daddy Cool wikipedia article on there. You and dan did the work there i've noticed, gave me a bit of a kick anyway so i thought i'd let you know :) k.i.a.c (talktome - contribs) 11:56, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Hey I see you've taken up the slack on the ARIA award pages. I got started on them last year, got sidetracked and never got back to it. Glad to see you've taken over (and are doing a fine job at that). Cheers Manning (talk) 14:55, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I transcluded the review to the article talk page and changed the GA review status to onhold as per GAN guidelines, as you had perhaps forgotten to do that. Jezhotwells (talk) 15:09, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Your edits are, as usual, up to their high standards. Have found a reference to P&D tour of Canada (around late 1989/early 1990) which states that the tour was sponsored by the King Kong Condom Company! Also found reference in a blog that they toured Canada in the winter of 1991. Am trying to discover whether P&D toured Canada once or twice and then work it into the article.

Marty and Murray are different people according to liner notes and pics in 13 Tasteless Masterpieces. Thanks for your help. I only can improve my contributions from here. Dr.warhol (talk) 07:14, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks Shaidar, Yes I have a passion for Australian Punk Rock and Punk Rock in general. There has been plenty written about punk in the two major cities but Brisbane seems to be the more interesting to me. By the way, all previous mentioned muscians on VL's site are also mentioned on the "13 Tasteless Masterpieces" cd. Should I put them back on the list of members, that's where I got the names from originally? I will seek out "long way to the top" book. Sounds good. Next job to fix The Leftovers... Dr.warhol (talk) 06:52, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
By the looks of it both were members but for short periods of time. 2 photos with Murray. One with the band and one by himself on the 3rd. last page of 13T.M. He is credited with being in the band late '89 to early 1990. Marty has one photo being with the band on page 11. He is credited on the Buzzsaw Popstar E.P. Dr.warhol (talk) 07:35, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
Well lets see what we can do...
This is actually embarassing as I actually know this record - may have been in my brothers collection.... Anyway it was a compliation album put out by local radio station 96fm containing a number of up & coming unsigned Perth bands most of whom were probably never heard of again apart from Eurogliders, Helicopters, The Manikins, Hot Biscuit Band (Luke & Katy Steele's dad's band)... My guess is that "Should Have Been There" was either a song that never saw light of day or may have been an early version of "Heaven (Must Be There)". Dan arndt (talk) 09:11, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Did you see that a new article was created for the AIR Charts? Not bad for a 'new' editor, he has requested feedback - thought you & I might give him some assistance, if your up to it. Dan arndt (talk) 02:06, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Have been working on fixing the discography for The Waifs in my sandbox but have seem to come unstuck with my old foe - wiki-tables! Could you have a look and try and find where I am going wrong. I want to create two columns under Australian peak chart positions one for the ARIA Charts and the other for the AIR Charts - any way you can help me? Dan arndt (talk) 04:20, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Was starting work on putting together a discography for Mental As Anything but of course my tables still don't make any sense. Anyway to cut a long story short the article itself needs work - has already got a couple of tags (mainly need for citations) - and given that we have already bumped into the Mentals before (Oz for Africa, Australian Made etc) I thought that they may be worthy of a make over... what ya think?

What no comment about my psychic abilities? Not a big JPY fan but will admit that he has provided a lot to Australian music and his artilce is well in need of an overhaul. As for Kev Carmody fully agree as well with his nomination - when we were doing PK I got a hold of a copy of Cannot Buy My Soul worth a serious listen... The Dingoes is a bit of a suprise packet - did some work on that article a while back - interesting in seeing the justification of their inclusion. So much work, so little time. Dan arndt (talk) 07:01, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi there - there's a problem another editor has identified with your proposed hook at DYK, and I had a quick hunt for something that would fix it, but failed. It's a great article you've put together, so if you can propose an ALT hook, it might still get featured, but you'll need to be quick. Cheers. hamiltonstone (talk) 10:26, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Have noticed that an editor, User:Nouse4aname, has recently moved GANGgajang to Ganggajang, when I attempted to revert the move the user cited 'Correct capitalisation as per WP:MOSTM and WP:NC'. I've checked WP:NC and it would appear that based on the overarching objectives, using the most easily recognized name; using the mane most prevalent in reliable sources; and using the name most readers are likely to search by that the article should be GANGgajang not Ganggajang. I've also had a look at WP:NC (common names) which would seem to support my view - anyhow I was hoping that some people who are older and wiser than me might be able to give some clear directions on the correct name for this article.

Have been trying to put together this discography but as usual am having trouble with formatting the charts - any chance of you dropping over and having a look for me. BTW the updates to the Diesel article are really motoring along (pardon the pun) - inspired me to do some work on Innocent Bystanders - not that there is a lot of verifiable references around to use.

If you have some time on your hands then you might want to check out the Australian Collaboration of the Month, essentially a group of editors are going through Australian articles which are unreferenced and inserting references... its actually a mammoth project, with over 2,000 articles on the list. There a number on the list which are music related, and are fairly easy to reference such as Adam Brand, Ash Grunwald, Ashley Naylor etc. Dan arndt (talk) 09:11, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
Sorry for dropping the ball and letting you do all the corrections from the PR - looks like its getting in shape for a GA nomination though. Dan arndt (talk) 00:39, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi I have been reading the Australian Crawl (band) article and found that you seem to have done a lot of editing to make it a suitable article. The Final Wave album was recorded at the Melbourne concert but this was not their last concert. The last concert was at the Perth Entertainment Centre. There was an story in a Perth newspaper about everyone expecting their last concert to be in Melbourne but they had decided to have it in Perth. James Reyne also said this at the concert, which I attended. Last Sunday, I heard a radio announcer say that Australian Crawl's last concert was in Melbourne, so I looked it up and found that here and many other websites say that it was. The source cited here is Encyclopedia of Australian Rock and Pop, I haven't seen the article. Unfortunately I only have my memory, which has been confirmed by several others, including a band member. I haven't edited the page because I dont have a source. It seems coneone has changed history. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks Woddawik (talk) 15:38, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
BTW, clearly... that article/url which states Jan 1986 was the last concert is incorrect as the T-shirt states the concerts were Jan-Feb, therefore the last concert was in February? yay? Woddawik (talk) 23:37, 8 February 2010 (UTC) Thank you for your kind welcome, I'll try to be as useful as possible, once I work out what i'm doing!Woddawik (talk) 10:24, 11 February 2010 (UTC) Found it!

Hi, I've started making changes to the article per your review, I hope you don't mind. It just struck me that maybe you'd rather wait until you've finished, so if that's the case I will! --BelovedFreak 11:52, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
I did consider "The Vampire Lovers" however, most records and articles on the band are credited as merely "Vampire Lovers". I would have to somehow make contact with band to ask which they would prefer, as some records do have the "THE" moniker title. If you still believe "The" is more appropriate, then I think it would be quite acceptable. Dr.warhol (talk) 23:22, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
Thank You! | ||
For your amazingly thorough GA review of Missy Higgins and incredible amount of help with improving it! BelovedFreak 00:06, 8 March 2010 (UTC) |
I can't thank you enough for all your help & putting up with all my questions. I've only nominated one article for GA before this one, but I've observed quite a lot, and your's was probably the most thorough I've seen. A lesser reviewer would have simply passed it (which given the amount of improvement it's had now, would be wrong!) or just quick failed it, seeing so many improvements to be made. So, I'm glad I got you reviewing. I've also learned lots of tips & tricks too that should help me with the discography apart from anything else, so cheers! --BelovedFreak 00:06, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
I agree that as we get closer to the end of each group of uBLPs the delete % will rise. The latest list has gone up in two ways - firstly from the recent tagging of unreferenced articles and those that were missing the WP Australia tag, and secondly because I used Category:Australians by musical occupation this time, not just Category:Australian musicians, so it captures producers etc as well. Finally, a huge "thanks mates" for, along with Dan, virtually clearing out the entire music section. If only we had a film/tv buff equally as dedicated! Great work. CheersThe-Pope (talk) 01:32, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks you very much for your peer review of Love in Motion (Anika Moa album); it has proved very helpful. However, in the track listing section you suggested using the APRA refs. These are fantastic references, and I will use these in the future, but how shall I cite them in the article? A string of ten references will look quite odd, as will a citation after every song title. What, in your opinion, is the best way to do this? Adabow (talk) 09:38, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I transferred the edited version of File:Paul Kelly 2007.jpg to Commons. I noted the changes that you made but since you don't have an account there the link to your name goes nowhere. You should consider going to Special:MergeAccount and then go on Commons, which will automatically create an account for you there. On Commons you can upload free images, fix mistakes, etc. and the images or other files are accessible for all Wikimedia projects. To learn more check Help:Unified login. Regards Hekerui (talk) 13:22, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi, you might have noticed that I reverted your edit. I did it because the information was elsewhere in the article, and because the source you used isn't really appropriate. It's just the link to the APRA webpage, and says nothing about the actual award. The kicker part about it is, though, while I was in the middle of the revert, I literally had an edit conflict with an anonymous IP vandalizing the article again--and it was about poor Greg! Anyway, wanted to explain. --Christine (talk) 03:00, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your offer of help with (eventually) creating a (W.A.) Bill McKenzie article. I thought this might be fairly easy because Bill was my father-in-law and therefore I have a fair amount of knowledge. The trouble is getting it referenced/cited. My husband has a copy of a verbal history from Fremantle Library and there is biological cutting available at the NLA.

I just look at your last edition in Foreign Exchange. And I saw the complete revision that you made in section Characters.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:49, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Apologies for being AWOL on the PK FAR - was thinking that the article on Noiseworks (and associated articles) looks a little under done, want to swing over and take a look. I think that there should be enough info around to get it up to a decent standard. Dan arndt (talk) 04:33, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Have just been watching the DVD of Triple J's PK Tribute Concert, Before Too Long - in the extras there was a whole series of interviews with the performers explaining the influence that PK had on them over the years. It also contained interviews with PK talking about his history etc. Not certain how to include any of this within the article but would probably help if we could. Dan arndt (talk) 01:24, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
I've found an article that is in so much need of help, even I don't know where to start.

Went and saw HG late last year and they previewed some of the songs off the album. I remember hearing "Crackin' Up" for the first time and thinking that they still had it. Actually the most memorable moment was when Roddy Radalj got up on stage - the first time that he had played with the band since 1982. I'm pretty certain that the song they played on stage was "Leilani". Anyway was a great day - sunny afternoon in one of the Swan Valley wineries. Dan arndt (talk) 07:54, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
Serves me right for not checking whether I was walking on an actual article or in my sandbox. Have tried to set things back as they should be, reverted edits on JBT & set up re-draft of Triffids. Feel free to dip your oar in on the Triffids Discography or JBT Discography - both need decent leads (many hands make light work - at least that's the case if you're an electrician).

Have just been working on fixing the article on Goanna & have been trying to find whether McFarlane has anything on the band that I could reference. Is it possible for you to check - would appreciate you running your eye over the article & seeing if there any copy-edit changes you want to make. Was thinking that "Solid Rock" probably deserves its own article & wondering why it never made the APRA Top 30 Australian song list? Dan arndt (talk) 02:36, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
