Next Newsletter

In the next newsletter, can you put in something like "To Spiral members: During the next spiral chat with Trent, would someone please ask about the lineage of March Of The Fuckheads and The Great Collapse?"?

Oops, that was me. Doesn't matter now anyway. I got Jose to ask. -Heroicraptor 01:45, 23 March 2007 (PDT)

A Mix Of All That Was images

They are being used, just not in a way the wiki understands. :/ -Heroicraptor 12:11, 10 March 2007 (PST)

Username Issue

Haha! I was surprised that no one has asked me if I really am Aaron yet. It was just the first short thing I could think of while signing up. My new username will be "spitonit" (without quotes of course). The editing while onstage thing got a good laugh out of me. --Aaronnorth

Music-Related Templates

Is there a way to import all the music-related templates? If yes, that would be a whole lot simpler than having to copy and paste from wikipedia. Heroicraptor 00:22, 15 February 2007 (CST)

Thanks

Thanks for all your work cleaning up the actual discography/song pages. I was really confused as what to do with it after all the redirecting Scicks was doing. X3 --GrayscaleRain 14:19, 16 February 2007 (PST)

I also have to thank you, and you should know what for. I made a bad decision before, now I will try my best to help out. Thanks Tony. --RedRobin 15:32, 20 February 2007 (PST)

Hey, no problem, I didn't see it so it doesn't matter. ^_^. I was wondering though. I could post video download links for some concerts in the bootleg section. Like I have 10 songs from the first concert. But there FLV and I did not upload them. There actually from YouTube and I'm getting all the download links from KeepVid. --Bleedthrough 09:17, 21 February 2007 (PST)

NinWiki Newsletter Issue #2.

Things to Do What can you do to help out in the NIN Wiki? Give categories to articles which do not have any Dead-end pages need to have links added to them Work on the Nine Inch Nails, the Trent Reznor article, or Work on other pages which need expanding Help new users! Name Of The Song Song titles should always have first letters capitalized, even with small words. For instance, Down In It would normally be formatted Down in it, but this does not look quite right and can be confusing in some cases. Here are some general guidelines: All First Letters Must Be Capitalized For Releases And Song Titles Song titles should be in "quotes", while album titles should be in italics Page names for songs should be Song Title, unless there is also a halo for it, in which case it should be Song Title (song) Page names for halos should be Song Title (halo) For example: With Teeth (song) and With Teeth (halo) NinWiki IRC If you would like to chat with us, the NinWiki IRC channel is located on Freenode. You can access it with many IRC clients by clicking this link, or if you don't have an IRC client, go here and enter your NinWiki name in the nickname space, and ninwiki in the channel space. If you would like to download an IRC client, check out Wikipedia's list of IRC clients.

Focus on NIN Discography The Nine Inch Nails discography is expansive and can be confusing. A Wiki is the perfect place to catalog, in detail, each NIN release and NIN song. To help out: Create song pages using the Song Layout, which will standardize song pages. Add the NIN Songs category to songs and the NIN Discography category to releases and etc. Do not add links to mp3 files of songs. If you really think the article needs it, ask an Admin first. Add Year Zero stuff as it comes up. After all, that's what this Wiki was created for originally! Wikipedia Wikipedia can be a great resource to study when writing NinWiki articles, but it's important to remember to never copy word for word what Wikipedia says. It's not illegal, it's just bad practice. Let's build a great wiki from the ground up :-). Signed... The Staff Buzzbot handled the distribution of this newsletter.

I am indeed a Spiral member.

Lithos

In my ever-growing quest to make awesome tour pages, I was wondering about adding the tour lithos for each show to it's tour page. I'm not sure if that's kosher though, with copyrights and stuff. What do you say? TAOSD.net has good thumbnail sized ones, if we get permission to use those from him, is that all we need? Thanks... -Meatball 11:19, 2 March 2007 (PST)

• TAOSD is down for some reason. I don't even think we need permission from him, but I'll ask him anyway, just to be nice :-). If they're very low-resolution, it's fine by me. Wait for further word, though, I'll ask some other admins if it's alright. --Tony 13:32, 2 March 2007 (PST)

Trent Reznor Page

I would like to write a bio for the Trent Reznor page based on what has been disclosed through published interviews. I know that there was some risk of publishing information that was too pesonal, but rest assured, everything in it would be public knowledge. Things like high-school activities, pre-NIN bands in Cleveland, and his much-talked-about rehab and recovery. And even though we know the names of some of his relatives, none of that would be published at all.

In addition, there is a Reznor Family Tree online chronicling Trent's genealogy on his paternal side. I would post a link to it on the page but only with an admin's permission.

Year Zero Universe Fact Page Needed

Tony, could you please make a wiki page where users can post all the facts so far of the Year Zero world. Aka, opal replacing major other drugs, the gov. rounding up people who talk about the presence openly, how long the chips have been used in the US, etc...

All the information from the various pages collected in one spot, painting an accurate picture of the Year Zero world. THANKS--Velvolver 11:51, 16 March 2007 (PDT)

Main page

Thanks you for letting me try to redesign the main page. If you look at the Main Page/New article, I got the templates how I want them (for now). I moved the information that I did not include in the templates to the Help article. Take a look at what I've done and let me know if it looks okay. --M.A.X. 11:08, 17 March 2007 (PDT)

Grammatically incorrect lyrics

What's wrong with this article? It's a topic of interest that comes up on forums, because there are a noticeable few of them. The subjective suggestions can be deleted, so all the article can do is list all the lyrics that definitely violate some rule of grammar. Pomte 18:17, 23 March 2007 (PDT)

Need a reviews page

Lets add a reviews page so users can discuss and review the new YZ songs. I think we all know what the magazine reviews are like (Lets compare all the YZ tracks to American Idiot, and The Good Soldier sounds like "Down in it" - yeah right).

Also songs that have lyrics in the lyric sheet but aren't sung (such as a lot of PHM) should be added in parenthesis.

To Tony

Hey, sorry about the Chuck Norris comment. Will keep further additions specifically NiN related. I actually plan on writting reviews for all songs from the Spiral era - Year Zero. You guys should keep this site up even after Zero comes out. It is a great reference for NiN. But after the album comes out, you should probably redirect the current main page under the link to Year Zero information. Again, I'll keep it Professional. -C.N.F.-

Malicious artical vandals

we seem to have a few occurances of people attacking the wiki with crappy usernames. QzgHlv and NdpDwm both are usernames that seem to have been created to just delete a whole chunk of an article. The examples are here and here. Could you get these accounts removed and hopfully the IPs banned (if they show up for a provider that does static or semi-static IP leases). Thanks Tony -- BurnHavoc
