New RfC about alternative/bonus tracklistings

I started a fresh RfC about the issue of alt and bonus tracks. Hopefully this one won't fizzle out like the other. See the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Albums#RfC_on_bonus_and_alternate_track_listings.--3family6 (Talk to me|See what I have done) 17:45, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tall Tales music and lyrics

Hi Popcornfud, hope you're doing well. I drafted up a new "Music and lyrics" section for Tall Tales in my sandbox. I thought I'd run it by you first since we've both put a good chunk of time into this article. Please feel free to correct anything you think could be better or send me any feedback. Cheers!

@Rambley You're doing good work on the article. I wouldn't be afraid to move that content straight from your sandbox into the main page. Once it's in there I'll copyedit it. No rush. Popcornfud (talk) 03:03, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Synthesizer

I see that you thanked me for removing an unsourced content in synthesizer. However, it got reverted. Should it stay as it is now? Or the removal of it is better? What do you think? Nyam Nyam Tiger (talk) 15:42, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Just going to say the issue is one of conduct rather than content, which might be important context to have. I personally have no opinion on the content.) Remsense ‥ 论 16:02, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed it again, per WP:BURDEN. We shouldn't have uncited material sitting around in articles for years. Popcornfud (talk) 02:38, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As a note, we also shouldn't have users treating "citation needed" as meaning "dubious" or unilaterally deciding Wikipedia does not allow uncited material. When this user's contributions are analyzed holistically, it's clear they are being purely disruptive and their reasoning is not sufficient for any edits. If you agree the material can't be cited, then fine. Remsense ‥ 论 22:17, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't looked much into this editor's posting history, but as a general rule I agree with the removal of uncited material and think was a good change to the synthesizer page. Popcornfud (talk) 08:58, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, regarding WP:EASTEREGG -- fwiw, I think your change is definitely better at conveying the specific information without creating problems. JeffSpaceman (talk) 14:55, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The worry I have is that the Gaza genocide isn't necessarily accepted by everyone to be a "real thing", and dropping it into the prose like it's uncontested fact might create a POV problem. I note, for example, that the Gaza genocide article has the short description "Characterisation of Israeli mass killings in Gaza" (framing it as an opinion) rather than "Israeli mass killings in Gaza".

However, on reflection, I don't really give a crap. Popcornfud (talk) 14:59, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Jonny Greenwood

Thank you for your removal of this content. In addition to not being related to improving the article, it also invites potential outing, which is prohibited with regards to both editors and non-editors. Once again, thank you for removing that. JeffSpaceman (talk) 17:56, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hyde's Synthesizer

Please do not remove the reference to Hyde's synthesizer. The linked Wikipedia article has an explanation of what it is, and a citation with a link to the issue of Modern Electrics that has the article describing the synthesizer. You can scroll down to the page in the citation to see it. Just click the link that you deleted, and look at the citation. Augur (talk) 00:44, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also, to ensure no confusion: the PDF page of the article is 22-23, but the publication is volume numbered, and so the numbers printed on the page itself are 580-581. You can see that here: https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-Modern-Electrics/Modern-Electrics-1912-09.pdf#page=22. I will edit the citation to link directly to these pages to avoid future confusion. Augur (talk) 00:57, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are edit-stalking me.

It's clear to me that you have been stalking my Wikipedia edits for some time now, possibly even multiple years. I've dealt with you reverting or otherwise finding issue with my edits on countless pages across all different topics for years at this point with the suspicion you may have been edit-stalking me but your action of reverting my edits on The End of Evangelion all but proves it. I've checked your edit history and see that you haven't edited a single article related to Neon Genesis Evangelion since July 29th of last year, and haven't edited The End of Evangelion specifically since June 3rd, 2023—over two years ago. I have a disagreement with an editor on that article today and suddenly there you are yet again? The likelihood of that being a coincidence is infeasible to me. No other editors have repeatedly had these kinds of issues with my contributions; the notion that you're simply trying to uphold Wikipedia's guidelines doesn't hold water. I am collecting the necessary information to make a formal report so I can finally put an end to your harassment. This will not go on any longer. Hostagecat (talk) 10:23, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In my 10+ years of Wikipedia editing, this one takes the cake. No. The End of Evangelion page has been on my watchlist for years and I've edited its plot summary on many occasions. I saw there was a dispute over the summary and got involved. Popcornfud (talk) 10:44, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at your edit history for examples of my "finding issue with my edits on countless pages across all different topics for years" (because believe me, you seem to remember this better than I do), it looks like you've edited a ton of Radiohead-related articles. I probably do more work on Radiohead than any other editor, so if you're going to work on that subject, we're absolutely going to run into one another.

Other than that, the only articles in your contribution history I recall ever working on are MF Doom and Akai MPC. Might I suggest the intersection of interests between Radiohead, hip hop and anime is less unusual than you might imagine...? Popcornfud (talk) 10:57, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
