message: The Original Barnstar
		I award you this barnstar for recent tireless work, especially on Derek Sherinian, Planet X, and numerous other music related articles!!! RockyMM 11:31, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks very much - I took the liberty of copying your barnstar (now that I know what it is) from my User discussion.  Keep checking back...there are now a ton of media links buried in here...with some interesting content.  It's my hope this page will serve as a guide to what a Wikipedia page can be...although there are certainly better ones out there as well.  Hope you enjoy. Tvccs 13:42, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

message: How do you feel about adding Template:Infobox_musical_artist, Template:Persondata and Template:WikiProject Biography? Or maybe even this Wikipedia:WikiProject_Musicians#Adding_articles? If you're OK with it, I'll add boxes with appropriate info. --RockyMM 14:22, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: After making about 400 edits to this thing, and really fiddling the layout to death, at this point I'd rather not, if possible, as the page in it's present form has a lot of outside linked detail and layout info I haven't seen in a lot of Wiki pages.  As I indicated, I've actually been in touch interviewing Derek about this stuff, which he thinks is very important, and I think the layout here has some improvements over the standard templates, which I did visit, unless I'm missing something in what you're saying???  That being said, I think it would be a good idea if you wanted to sandbox something to show a demo of what you have in mind?  I'd be very interested in seeing it.  I'm also going to expand the album listings and info and get the Planet X solo album detail up, and fix a bunch of minor fact errors I've found.  Thanks again for your input!

replies: text:  Take a look here and here. On the article page maybe infobox looks ugly, but Persondata template is not visible and can be usefull in future. On the talk page, maybe  template adds too much clutter, and also I see that their colaborative group is not very big and they don't have a large number of articles listed, but Template:WikiProject Biography template also can be usefull to have, especialy since it's on the talk page and won't fiddle with layout you have invested so much time. --RockyMM 12:48, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks very much for taking the time to do these Temps...from what I can see...well...the box isn't as ugly as I expected...LOL...and I like the fact it's got a place to hotlink to the main Web site as a field.  The Bio template may be useful at some point going forward as well, and I thank you for sharing it.  I need to go see if I can better understand the Musician template as well...and how about those links???  It's amazing what a little research and attention to detail (well a lot really) can pull out of one of these simple pages...Flash Smash...lol  Tvccs 13:52, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Rocky...go ahead and use what you laid out on Talk:Derek Sherinian/Temp and change it, but use the present copy on the Wiki page as there have been additional changes...it looks good...just be sure the border color selected matches the Wiki formatting suggested.  But I thank you very much, and I'll be getting back to you on the other stuff soon.  Tvccs 03:10, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Went ahead and made the changes...thanks again for your help! Tvccs 22:40, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, I saw that. I'm not that frequent on Wikipedia these days. I'll add biography templates to Talk (this) page. --RockyMM 11:20, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for the headsup...I understand it better now Tvccs 11:10, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Blackutopia.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
