message: In the sleeve notes of 'Frances The Mute' it names all the companies involved with the making of the album. Under 'presented by' one of the companies is called 'Amputechture' but spelt 'Amputekthure'.
:The term 'Amputechture' was coined by Jeremy Michael Ward, and used in the DitC booklet (I believe). UserGameless 19:20, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origin of the Album Title 

message: What part of 
"could come from the idea that the album is an "archetecture" of "phantom limbs", meaning a shedding all of the religious ideas that have been instilled, and creating a work out of it? Also, the whole album contains pieces from other TMV songs; either played backwards or just shoved in the middle (listen closely). This too, could be considered a construction of "phantom limbs". " doesn't sound like orginal research to you? -169.199.67.9 19:21, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is the fact that John Frusciante tracked every guitar part omitted from the article? It was stated in a few interviews, Frusciante recorded all guitar parts, allowing Rodriguez-Lopez to act as a virtual producer. It seems to be removed from Frusciante's page as well.  Both pages were correct, but now seem to have biased editing against Frusciante..
:Becuase its wrong? Both Omar and Frusc are on the album. Omar plays all the solos, and anywhere the guitar needed to be doubled. (which is in most songs considering you see paul hinojos playing guitar live on all the amp songs). "The album features almost a dozen artists, including Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante who is featured as guest guitarist on every track except Asilos Magdelena." is right there in the article, and frusc is in the personnel section, no one is biased against him. In addition omar plays all of asilos by himself. See below. Zopwx2 18:55, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, labeling him a 'guest guitarist' leads one to believe his role is much more minor than it actually was. Both the Amputechture  and John Frusciante articles previously stated his involvement as being major, taking the place of primary guitarist for the band after Omar already wrote the music.  Pictures of Omar showing Frusciante what to play have surfaced on the internet.  I'm not sure what information is correct as I only believe his involvement is more major than is led on because of previous versions of these Wikipedia pages.  Apparently however, Wikipedia is either unreliable, inconsistent, or just plain wrong as you stated.
I got rid of the phrase "guest guitarist". But I think whoever wrote it orignally meant to say that he does indeed play a significant part on the album, but he is not a member of the touring band. Not that his role was minor or anything. Not to mention I  believe it was taken from the GSL press release anyway. Although the idea that omar just sat back and taught frusciante to play the entire album and recorded it is incorrect. They both played together.Zopwx2 15:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

text: He didn't play on Asilos. It was just Cedric and Omar, and Omar did the acoustic. CanbekEsen 21:18, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: there is an interview where omar says it was only him and cedric on that song. Zopwx2 04:32, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Does he participate on the record? Miscellanea seems to claim so, but he is not listed under personnel or mentioned in the album sleeves.

message: This article says Amputechture has gone platinum.  Is there a source?
:-Seemingly not. I noticed this was sourceless but didn't do anything about it, because I had the feeling it was one of those things that some guy would keep on readding. I have my doubts its gone platinum... I think it would have gone gold at the very most. This should be removed until someone finds a source. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Olliemilne (talk • contribs) 00:35, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Has The Album Gone Platinum 

message: The source for this information is RIAA Radar. RIAA Radar gets it data from Amazon.com, meaning this album is only the top selling album on amazon, and not in general. It may be their top selling album overall, but I don't think RIAA Radar can count as a source for this, as they themselves state that all their data comes from amazon. Therefore this piece of info is unsourced. Eventually I think this information should be removed, but I'd like to know what everyone else thinks before I do that. Thanks.

thread_title:  This Album is Connected 

message: I have a comment regarding this song title:
El ciervo vulnerado doesn't mean "the wounded shepherd", even if The Mars Volta think it does. Furthermore, I don't see the reason for mentioning that ciervo sounds like siervo, as siervo means servant (its literal translation would be serf).
On the other hand, the exact phrase "el ciervo vulnerado" appears in the spiritual poems of spanish saint San Juan de la Cruz (John of the Cross). Seeing as vulnerado is a very unusual choice of adjective (like, for example, saying "the debilitated deer" instead of wounded),  it's much more plausible that this is the origin of the phrase. 
The poem is arguably San Juan's most famous work, and several publications in spanish use the name "el ciervo vulnerado".  You can find it in context [here ], together with a step-by-step explanation of the poem's meaning (in spanish).
-Vuélvete paloma
que el ciervo vulnerado
por el otero asoma
al aire de tu vuelo y fresco toma
(turn back, dove, for the wounded deer is looking out of the lone hill and taking in the air of your flight)
