Talk:X Japan/Archive 1

message: This article currently says that the band's most famous lineup is the Taiji lineup, but the Yoshiki article says the Heath lineup is the most well known. There needs to be some consistency. Knight of Ashitaka 15:54, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Their most famous lineup?

message: While it is true that Yoshiki worked with RMT, as far as I know the only time he did was c. 1994, before X-Japan broke up. If Yoshiki and RMT have worked together since 2000 we need a citation. Knight of Ashitaka 15:54, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Yoshiki's Work with Roger Meddows-Taylor

message: X Japan was not alternative rock in the Dahlia era. It was progressive/hard rock.
Scars, White Poem I, Wriggle, and Drain were alt-rock songs, as, possibly, was Rusty Nail. Four of the other songs on the album were piano based ballads (Longing, Crucify My Love, Tears and Forever Love). Knight of Ashitaka 15:35, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Grammar, Redundancy and Weasel Words

message: Is the line-up table really necessary? 90% of the entries are very early line ups when the band was unstable and before they became popular, which would not have much relevance to the article, as the primary focus should be pre extasy record debut. I think the pre-extasy band member section suffices, rather than having a long large table, which does not display properly in low resolutions as well.Himurakenshin 05:14, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: line-up table

message: Added all singles and albums that I could find. Revth 10:01, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Discography

message: I also believe there should be a re-write. Most of the article now is pre-Extasy Records releases, and little relevance to the band. 209.183.13.250 01:47, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rewrite 

message: The discography table should not look as it does for me. In the code, it is a "wikitable" and leftcentered. For me, it's aligned to the right and not a wikitable. I have cleaned my cache, and when I preview the section which contains the table I see it correctly... What's wrong? /Grillo 21:57, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The table 

message: I haven't checked this page for a while, but I was pretty surprised at what I saw.
The article contains a lot of redundant stuff, but I didn't edit that.
What irked me was the grammar. These article should only have be edited if you don't talked likes this. I made a few revisions, but there are a few more.
The article seems a bit biased due to some new editings. And as I said, digressed from the main point. Too much information isn't a good thing.
Also, a revision that I feel is a bit sad that I had to do is the capitalization of song names, and most importantly the band.
It's not "X Japan". It's "X JAPAN". Learn it.
It's "VANISHING VISION", not "Vanishing Vision"
It's "BLUE BLOOD", "ART OF LIFE", "DAHLIA" etcetera. 
Sad enough that I had to edit the discography article.

Hey! Don't say this! Here the only who's writting is me a spaniard who don't know lot of english but he's trying to expand the article, so if you see some mistakes fixed it, and don't say this. I expand the article because i wanna make it like this for example: es:X Japan that's a good article! Darkcat21 18:38, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Poor editings. 

message: The Wikipedia manual of style is rather specific regarding full capitalization: The use of title case is encouraged and therefore should also be applied to album and song titles, over time. While the previous comments made by the "anonymous fan" did little to actually improve the article itself, (s)he was right about the text being quite redundant. I have removed one of the two summaries of X Japan's stylistic development from the top section, along with a few statements which given the citations they were presented with (fan and record label sites) didn't fulfill the NPOV policy. - Cyrus XIII 01:37, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moved back to X Japan / top section cleanup 

message: I have seen the part of the movie where X Japan (then known as "X," and referred to as thusly in the movie) makes an appearance. I also checked IMDB, and they are listed there - however, I wiki'd IMDB and found that IMDB is not always a very reliable source. I am absolutely sure they appeared in the movie, though. How should this be cited? Shiryu22 19:27, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
