Anyone have a comment on the list? I'd rather not add the links and make the category if there's a general concensus against it, precious bandwidth and all. Sheepdean 11:51, 11 July 2008 (PDT)
Contributions
I noticed you editing a LOT, and I'd like to thank you for all of your contributions thusfar. You're doing a really great job! --Tonyconverse! 20:11, 5 December 2008 (PST)
Cheers, it's no problem, I'd like to see this site be as definitive as possible, as I'm sure you would to =). And I had an idea which I keep forgetting to post - when someone links to a disambiguation page, would it be possible to send up a little dialogue/warning box before it is posted? A lot of the edits that I do are fixing those links, would make it easier and would teach people how to link to pages with alt. text. For example:
You've posted a link to a disambiguation page - did you mean to link to a song or album? Try [[song title (song)|song title]] or [[album title (halo)|album title]]
Or even:
You've posted a link to a disambiguation page - did you mean to link to a song or album? Click [[link to as-yet non existent help page|here]].
Any thoughts?sheepdean 12:20, 6 December 2008 (PST)
- That's a great idea, but it would take a PHP whiz, and while I'm pretty good with it, I'm no magician. --Tonyconverse! 21:20, 6 December 2008 (PST)
New Torrents
Can we post links to the torrents on the wiki, as they are official, uploaded by TR himself, or are there no exceptions to the rule? sheepdeanis in your base killing your d00ds 13:45, 7 January 2009 (PST)
Contact to management
Hello Sheepdean, I am searching for the management of NIN, because a musician I know wrote a song over the beats of At The Heart Of It All.
Who I have to contact to get knowlegde about the rights of this song?

Duets
Best thing to do would be to find a way to incorporate it into a respective Tour Date page. We can easily do the ones that have happened since the Wiki went live but the challenge is in all the older dates. --leo3375 16:29, 18 May 2009 (PDT)
duplicate links
Hi there, I noticed you have done some editing to remove duplicate links from articles. I've started a discussion about that at Talk:2009/05/09 Tampa, FL and I'm inviting you to join in. -- Jdowland 08:23, 21 May 2009 (PDT)
West Indian Girl
Someone had made a page for Q a couple weeks ago but I deleted it because it was completely irrelevant to NIN. If someone does make a page for West Indian Girl right now, it would most likely be a dead end. However, changing the last sentence of Trent's bio to "… with his fiancée and two Greyhounds" and linking a West Indian Girl page in there would lead to it, but the only way out would be through the category section.
Wow. You made me think on this one.--leo3375 22:01, 30 May 2009 (PDT)
Remixes
Right now, it's best to keep the remixes with their respective songs. However, I don't have a problem with making a list page for the remixes. I also don't have a problem with making a category called "Category:NIN Remixes."--leo3375 09:20, 2 June 2009 (PDT)
Yeah, go ahead and make a remix glossary. Just be sure that there are links out of the page and find a way to make links into it.--leo3375 11:10, 2 June 2009 (PDT)
Songs vs. Halos
dear sheepy, i wanted to ask your opinion of this before i post it at Leo. i think several of the songs that have both a (song) and a (halo) page ought to be combined. i'm not referring to any of the numbered halos, but rather the promo stuff, like Wish and Into The Void. i really don't see a reason why we should have a specific page for Wish (halo) when it's only got two songs, no cover art, and can only be bought on eBay for extortionate (is that a word?) prices. it's also misleading to call it a halo, though i'm sure everyone here realized this when the decision was made to call all the releases halos. can't we simply compile all the promo releases and either make a page listing all the promos and their info (i'm fine taking the collecting job) or simply leaving the mentions of the promos and their catalog numbers under the specific songs (i.e. by including the Wish promo and catalog number in the appearance list on its song page and mentioning it in the write-up for the No Bad Words mix)? let me know what you think about this admittedly massive job i'm suggesting. i really think it would help keep the place streamlined. - Seasonsinthesky 09:51, 9 June 2009 (PDT)
