Daddy KindsoulHey man, I notice you're having trouble with Daddy Kindsoul too. Let me guess, he continually reverts your edits to suit his own purposes? Believe me, he's been doing the same on an article I'm involved with. I just wish I knew what we could do to get him sorted out. He says he's doing it all for "the benefit of Wikipedia", but as we know he's blatently not, so what can we do? PeeJay 11:16, 6 May 2007 (UTC) Pearl Jam vs. NMEHey, I read in an article from 1992 that said the NME lambasted Pearl Jam and said they were "trying to steal money from young alternative kids' pockets". Can you find anything about it? I'm trying to expand upon early criticism of the band over in the Pearl Jam article. Thanks. WesleyDodds 11:08, 7 May 2007 (UTC) Why did you revert this article (without explanation) to incorrect capitalisation and infobox formatting? --Mel Etitis (Talk) 22:55, 7 May 2007 (UTC) Triptych, May-June 1973
Kurt CobainI would appreciate your opinions on this section. Quite ungodly, but CloudNine and I are going to try and it, uh, not crap. Any thoughts on how to keep this as NPOV as possible? In other news: I'm taking a short break from editing The Cure but I'll get back to that within a week. The reason for my brief break is that I've run into some problems on the page where it seems someone possibly affliated with the band keeps trying to alter material about the exit of Perry Bamonte and Roger O'Donnell in a very POV manner. Reverting POV edits from several different IPs gets old pretty quickly. WesleyDodds 04:13, 12 May 2007 (UTC) GoreckiYeah, I can try to help out with the symphony a little bit. Gosh, Wiki's coverage of modern Polish concert music is really scant - that section in Music of Poland could use a serious overhaul, and some of those names really need articles (Roman Palester!) Two books worth looking into are Adrian Thomas's "Polish Music since Szymanowski" (Oxford, 2005) and Bernard Jakobson's "A Polish Renaissance" (1996). Chubbles 18:24, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
TriptychWork "The triptych is a portrait of Dyer dying" into the first paragraph of the lead. Some items like East End and maybe even triptych should be Wikilinked. I have no problem with the "Background section"; since Dyer doesn't have his own article this seems the ideal place to go into detail about him. In the line "Although his arched back, thighs and legs are, according to the art critic Colm Tóibín 'lovingly painted', Dyer is clearly a broken man," the last part ("clearly") needs a cite or shoudl be rephrased. Are Yard and Russell critics too? And how do the black triptychs relate to the topic aside from similar subject? Mention the Sotheby's auction later in the article as well, in addition to the lead. The main thing that seems to be missing is further critical reaction, particularly in the years since its initial debut. WesleyDodds 08:25, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
re:Three StudiesCertainly, I have given it a quick spell check just now (see diff) but I have changed the spelling in a number of quotes. If they contained spelling errors in the actual quote please undo my change, use [sic] after something quoted with incorrect spelling to indicate to readers that you realise the spelling is incorrect but the quote would need to be changed otherwise; eg. "it was rianing[sic] cats and dogs". I'll give it another, more thorough look later today because I need to go now. This artice is really good. Should be ready for FAC soon.

RequestWould you take a look at "Eyes of the Insane" sometime for me please? I wish to nominate it for FAC soon, and would rather address any concerns you may have prior to my nomination instead of during it. Any help is welcomed, and thanks for your time :) LuciferMorgan 14:03, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Three StudiesRight now I want to get breakfast; give me an hour or so and then I'll get to copyediting it. WesleyDodds 13:16, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
By the way, can you verify something from the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" article? SandyGeorgia pointed out that the NME link used to reference the line "In 2002, NME awarded the song the number two spot on its list of '100 Greatest Singles of All Time'" is dead now, and she had some concerns about the date. Can you verify this item and replace the citation with one of the actual print issue? WesleyDodds 20:03, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Honestly, I like to refrain from casting votes in FAC. I'm fine making comments and suggestions during the process, but I feel uncomfortable taking declarative positions because it is such a delicate and important process; a "support" or "object" is a rather definitive investment of faith that I like to make only if I am 100 percent certain of my position (I know that sounds a little silly). Nevertheless, I am leaning towards "Support" on this article and will vote accordingly once some prose issues in the "Background" section are cleared up. I'll list the parts I have questions about in the FAC within the day. WesleyDodds 21:53, 19 May 2007 (UTC) EmsworthI just posted this to Yomangani, and thought you might have some ideas as well.
