Music discussion: My 100 Favorite Albums Of All Time

My 100 Favorite Albums Of All Time. These are my 100 favorite albums of all time. This list is arranged in order of preference, starting with my #1 favorite. Grundle2600 (talk) 22:25, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good call on http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/the_waitresses . She was very very good. PhGustaf (talk) 23:27, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I agree - she and the rest of the band were awesome! Grundle2600 (talk) 00:09, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All those cigarettes didn't exactly enrich her career. PhGustaf (talk) 16:29, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know. But she was only 40 when she died of stomach cancer. Grundle2600 (talk) 18:16, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

She was a gay lesbian, enough said..Waterjuice (talk) 06:53, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If she was a lesbian, then yes, she was gay. But even if she was a lesbian, so what? Why would that matter to anyone other than her and her partner? Grundle2600 (talk) 12:58, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, 1 out of 100 at least; the pre-sellout Liz Phair. Tarc (talk) 15:11, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whoo hoo! Grundle2600 (talk) 15:33, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think that linking a sex video(at Spike)is a violation of WP:BLP. Evidently you did not think so at the time you linked it. Has your opinion changed? Rich (talk) 09:30, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not censored.
Images or details contained within this article may be graphic or otherwise objectionable to some readers, to ensure a quality article and complete coverage of its subject matter. For more information, please refer to Wikipedia's content disclaimer regarding potentially objectionable content and options for not seeing an image.

Grundle2600 (talk) 12:42, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your point of view, and to be honest I wasn't sure of the policy myself,(although I thought it was a bad policy if allowing such links was the policy) until I emailed an admin who specializes in celebrity articles. In addition I recently looked up WP:BLP and found this:

Presumption in favor of privacy

"Wikipedia articles that present material about living people can affect their subjects' lives. Wikipedia editors who deal with these articles have a responsibility to consider the legal and ethical implications of their actions when doing so. It is not Wikipedia's purpose to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives. Biographies of living persons must be written conservatively, with regard for the subject's privacy.

When writing about a person notable only for one or two events, including every detail can lead to problems, even when the material is well-sourced. In the best case, it can lead to an unencyclopedic article. In the worst case, it can be a serious violation of our policies on neutrality. When in doubt, biographies should be pared back to a version that is completely sourced, neutral, and on-topic.

This is of particularly profound importance when dealing with individuals whose notability stems largely from their being victims of another's actions. Wikipedia editors must not act, intentionally or otherwise, in a way that amounts to participating in or prolonging the victimization."

I also explained some of my thoughts about it as a question on the Help Desk and other points on the Daniela Cicarelli talk page.

Best wishes, Rich (talk) 20:45, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It says, "This is of particularly profound importance when dealing with individuals whose notability stems largely from their being victims of another's actions."

But this is an action that the subject chose to do, on a public beach, during broad daylight, in front of an audience. How does that have anything to do with "privacy"? Grundle2600 (talk) 20:53, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween

Richard (talk) 10:34, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ha! That's great! Thanks! Happy Halloween to you too! Grundle2600 (talk) 14:04, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pissing

Hey, just wanted to let you know I removed that image since it really isn't relevant to the topic at hand. Hope this is acceptable. Cheers. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 20:29, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, OK. But then would you please replace it with a better image? Thanks! Grundle2600 (talk) 20:35, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not really sure an image is needed there at all. Most people know what peeing entails. :) Perhaps if we have a free-use image of a pissing contest itself, but anything else is irrelevant in my opinion. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 20:39, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, that picture gave me the best laugh I've ever had reading Wikipedia. I won't ask where you found it. PhGustaf (talk) 20:56, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I found the image at Urination. Grundle2600 (talk) 00:45, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Doughnut Drive 2009

Is it okay if "we" use your userspace for this important project? I'm uncomfortable about having it in my userspace because I don't want anyone to be intimidated about participating or feel like they will be associated with something controversial. If you aren't interested that's okay, or feel free to let me know of someone else that you think might want to host the event (also known as the Doughnut WikiFestival). I picked you because you're so nice and I think everyone likes you. That's the kind of atmosphere I think is good for the event. ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:34, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, sure! Please go ahead and use my userspace for it! Grundle2600 (talk) 22:38, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great! Thanks. Do you have any preference on the name of the event? Should we stick with Doughnut Drive 2009? A motto might be good if you have any ideas for one. ChildofMidnight (talk) 23:08, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you're the one leading this, then I prefer that you pick the name. Grundle2600 (talk) 23:42, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's a collaborative effort. I'd like you to be a chairperson. Or you can take responsibility for an article, a country, or recruitment. You are under no obligation to participate, but I'm hoping to delegate most of the responsibility for the event's success so I don't actually have to do anything. :) ChildofMidnight (talk) 23:47, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I take full responsibility for eating all of the subject matter. Grundle2600 (talk) 23:52, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
