also somewhat violates NPOV, as putting "the late" shows a form of respect for the dead subject, which is not appropriate here. And the articles should be releatively stable, as everyone is going to die sooner or later, and just because someone is dead, doesn't mean we have to make a mention of that or put "the late" in an encyclopedia article. I will revert the changes, and I hope you understand that I am improving the articles, and not vandalizing them.

If you look at the talk page, we came to a consensus, after the three of us reached our 3RR limit. Guess who decided to poke his nose in? Could you please revert it back? Clearly it's to stick it to me, not to back the other user since we both came to a consensus. Oh, and I think starting that Request for mediation is a superb idea and should be instigated - now. 872: 900: 1948:. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Knowledge (XXG).

Your position regardingthe infobox dispute is inconsistent. If, in the absence of consensus, it is inappropriate to change the style from one to the other, that "freeze" should be applied without regard to which style currently exists.

Hi thanks for the welcome, I will be aiming to work similar edits through the rest of the main albums and the few additional I have added. I have been thinking of at least adding a listing for the recent live re3leases, those that were meant if only in part to replace bootleg issues. I will happily

Well first of all, I was not vandalizing, only improving, and I take great offense to someone who feels that my improvments are the opposite. It is not of good style to add "the late" about people who are dead. It throws the tense off, as Gene Siskel wasn't dead when he reviewed the movies. It

Hi Comics, a new mailing list has been set up to distribute news about the Wikimedia foundation, specifically at the moment to publicise Quarto. I saw your name on the quarto talk page requesting a copy by email, and I think this mailing list is how we're going to do it for the moment. It'll be a

I understand your position perfectly. You're hypocritical. You believe that it's OK for people who agree with your position on infoboxes, which is clearly a minority position, to change the style in one direction, but not OK for those who take the majority position to make changes in the other

articles themselves. As for hypocrisy, your position is that, in the absence of a consensus, it is acceptable for those who prefer the disputed box to replace the undisputed one, but not vice versa. That is a textbook display of the quality.

Hi, can I refer you to the Knowledge (XXG):WikiProject_Albums reference on Albums I have been trying to keep to eh style apart from using Infobox 2 rather than the basic. And is you will notice the style for reviews is that one used there.
