Talk:Bullet the Blue Sky

message: "In the Zoo TV Tour, it was about racism"
I don't recall ever hearing a version of this song from the ZooTV tour that was about racism. The Sydney video is clearly a send-up of 80's Cold War hyper-conservatism (with Bono in the aviators, trucker cap, and camo pants), while the version from Wembley Stadium in 1993 involves Bono railing on the western powers for failure to intervene in Bosnia. I don't know if this latter is what you mean by "racism" (although Bosnians are white), but either way the line quoted above is wrong. The Chief 18:22, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I meant the swastikas on the video screens and the "we must never let it happen again" (referring to the holocaust) remark before the solo. Maybe "nazism" would fit better. --Kristbg 21:18, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know where you get racism from Bono suggesting we should not let Nazism happen again. Nazis may have been racist, but they were a lot of other things, too. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk •  contributions) 14:03, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Sung Tongs

message: Rusty Santos should not be listed as "producer" as Animal Collective have produced their own albums until Merriweather Post Pavilion, which was co-produced by Ben Allen. Rusty Santos was the engineer for Sung Tongs. Brian Weitz has mentioned this on the Collected Animals forum: 'First off, we don't work with "producers". we've always produced our own records. not to take away from the engineers we've worked with because their talents and techincal know-how has played a big role in helping us achieve what we want, but we've always done the orchestration, been in charge of how a record sounds, and picked the songs we record and how the album is sequenced.'

Talk:List of caves in Slovakia

message: But, Tankred, the fact that a cave is not generally "blocked" for the public, does not mean that it is "open to the public". Most of the 2 500 caves are probably "open" in "your" sense. Open to the public means that there are regular guided visits for the general public there. Is that the case for that cave ? I suppose not, I know people who have been there, but that was as a group of "friends od nature/bats" or so. Juro 18:37, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, I am sorry for not being clear. The cave is really open to the public and all visits are actually guided. The only difference is that the cave is well preserved (i.e. you will not find much concrete  there). That is why visitors get helmets at the entrance. But they are not expected to be speleologists. In fact, anyone can visit the cave, if he or she is willing to pay a slightly higher price than in the case of the caves administered by the Slovak Caves Administration.Tankred 18:52, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Archaeological looting in Iraq

message: This article, begun on 9 March 2006, remains very much so a work in progress. I have no illusions that it is complete or properly written (e.g. NPOV), and no intentions of leaving it as is. Please feel free to edit my work or add to it, but please keep in mind that I intend to work on it further within the next few days and to expand and improve it greatly. Thank you. LordAmeth 18:40, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Also, as this is an ongoing problem, easily one of the worst places for archaeological looting in the world, I am leaving the current event tag on it. I have not heard anything about the Iraqi government, American military, or other organizations making significant steps to curb the activity, and as far as I am aware, pieces continued to be looted at an extraordinary rate. If anyone knows differently, please simply provide a reference source, and add the information to the article itself, describing how and when the looting problem was reduced or ended. LordAmeth 03:39, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  If you looked at the reference section, you would see the source I cited. All the information in this short stub of an article comes from that source.

There is no need for this to be a controversial article. LordAmeth 22:16, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I added a few more sources that refer specifically to the continued looting of Iraq, one of whom is a Marine colonel who is trying to retrieve the artifacts stolen in April, 2003 but also is concerned about the continued looting outside of Baghdad...

Talk:Prospect Hummer

message: If the first two tracks were outtakes from Sung Tongs recording sessions, then Deakin would have had no involvement with them. Vashti likely would have had no involvement with them either, as Avey Tare and Panda Bear were the only 2 musicians peforming on those recording sessions.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlbertWesker411 (talk • contribs) 01:54, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deakin's involvement with the EP 

message: It seems like the idea has been floating around that this song is a solo track by Geologist (perhaps the Pitchfork review of the EP had something to do with it), but actually he was barely involved in its creation beyond having recorded samples for a different project years earlier, a few of which Avey and Deakin used during the creation of the song.
Geologist talked about the track in an Ask Me Anything post on reddit during the promotion of another album:
https://www.reddit.com/r/indieheads/comments/47lfdz/comment/d0dquuk/
The credits had previously stated that the other members only appear on tracks 1, 2, and 4. I updated it to credit Avey Tare and Deakin on all four tracks instead. 203.211.106.26 (talk) 05:58, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Apple Authorized Service Provider

message: Sounds like a sales pitch, consider the sentence beginning "Think of your local Apple Specialist as" in the second paragraph.
:I agree. The article seems to imply that "Apple Specialist" is a specialist status awarded by Apple. That does not appear to be the case. It seems that "Apple Specialist" is unofficial and the only thing noteworthy about it is that it is an award given to a company by another company (I can't figure out which), after they pass a set of tests. Should this article exist? Mikesc86 02:11, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Apple Specialist designation is an Apple designation, not an industry one (I can't find a link on Apple's website, because they've de-emphasized the term now that Apple has their own retail distribution network). While I must agree the article doesn't give "both sides" of whatever dispute isn't obvious to others, the article is factually accurate, and does tell the wiki reader something valuable: some Apple retailers are more knowledgeable/experienced/comprehensive in relation to Apple products, and some just sell iPods and accessories. The incredibly poor website (which Apple would not allow without express permission because of systematic defense of trademark issues) doesn't do the program justice, but does correctly link to current specialists.  While I do understand the critique, and I can't yet provide the needed citation to remove the POV tag, this article does reflect market truth, and I see no necessary changes other than the references. BusterD 22:08, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Context: in October 2022, I moved this page from Apple Specialist to Apple Authorized Service Provider.
My justification is:
:Apple's third-party repair certification program was renamed from Apple Specialist to Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) many years ago. It's now commonly known by that name; I believe the new name still meets the WP:GNG. "Apple Specialist" is currently a job title within Apple Stores.

message: If you'll recall, I previously questioned whether we can credit Bono for guitar on this song here. Were you able to find some new information in the documentary that I missed? Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk •  contributions) 19:05, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Towards the end of the documentary there is a five-minute section on "Exit" (it is the third last song discussed). During the section, Lanois and Bono are experimenting with the different elements of the track. At one point a guitar, quite distinct from The Edge's, can be heard. Lanois says "That's Bono's guitar", to which Bono gives a laugh and says "That's the first time anyone has ever said that". The identical guitar part can be heard in the song from 1:55 to about 2:05. If you're not looking out for it, it is easily missed in the song, but it is there nonetheless. You even note that he had the guitar in that old discussion section. (The comments I struck out were incorrect; I was thinking of another aspect which Lanois notes did not make the cut). Melicans (talk, contributions) 19:21, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:The Violet Burning

message: I just reworked the introductory paragraph; the sentences seemed too long and disjointed, connected by too many commas.  It also seemed to repeat the independent nature of the band more than was necessary.  For example, mentioning that they've sold X independent albums doesn't really need the qualifier "despite never signing to a major label" since they're... independent albums. :)  Just my thoughts.

::Well, it's Wikipedia.  Be bold and edit it.  It doesn't strike me as propaganda, though maybe could be a bit more encyclopedic.
