[edit] Image-stuff again ;)

Error creating thumbnail: sh: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory

I get this error when trying to use the uploaded image as Album Art, example: http://lyricwiki.org/Hawthorne_Heights Remiss 04:32, 11 November 2006 (EST)

Drat. That looks like it is a program which I do not have (and which isn't in Yum). :( I'll look for that.

-Sean Colombo 04:53, 11 November 2006 (EST)

This binary is part of imagemagick and I think that package is avaiable though yum. I don't know for sure, I use apt-get.

- teknomunk 05:08, 11 November 2006 (EST)

yeah, the package is called 'ImageMagick' Remiss 05:16, 11 November 2006 (EST)

Thanks! ImageMagick is installed now... but there is still an error with the Hawthorne Heights image. That might be caused because ImageMagick wasn't installed when the image was uploaded (and it tried to make a thumbnail of some sort then?). Verifying... -Sean Colombo 05:42, 11 November 2006 (EST)

Dang. Still broken. Thinking... -Sean Colombo 05:47, 11 November 2006 (EST)

Sweet... for some reason the thumbs dir still wasn't writable. IT WORKS! Thanks for the help. Let me know if you see anything else weird. -Sean Colombo 05:54, 11 November 2006 (EST)

Nice! Thanks! Remiss 05:56, 11 November 2006 (EST)

A new error message when trying to upload images:

Could not copy file "/var/www/html/lyricwiki.org/images/temp/f/fc/20061112132302!The_Broken_Family_Band_-_Jesus_Songs.jpg" to "/var/www/html/lyricwiki.org/images/f/fc/The_Broken_Family_Band_-_Jesus_Songs.jpg". Remiss 08:24, 12 November 2006 (EST)

[edit] soap stuff

(putting this in a seperate section) Oh, one thing though.. One some lyrics, when retrieving the lyrics through soap sometimes the lyrics doesn't come with, just artist album and an empty <lyrics> tag . e.g. on my chemical romance - cubicles.. (sorry for bugging you so much :( ) Remiss 05:57, 11 November 2006 (EST)

I also get this error message on top of server.php when doing a xml call

<b>Notice</b>:  Undefined variable: cnt in <b>/var/www/html/lyricwiki.org/server.php</b> on line <b>902</b><br />

Remiss 08:24, 12 November 2006 (EST)

Fixed (i think... didn't test it though). -Sean Colombo 08:27, 12 November 2006 (EST)

Works again, thanks! Remiss 08:29, 12 November 2006 (EST)

[edit] Tv Series & Movies

Hi! First of all, great site! Second! I've been thinking, many times qhen you see a TV Series or a movie you wonder what the music you're haring is. Maybe it could be an interesting Idea to have pages of Series or Movies with links to the songs on them. For example in Grey's Anatomy we would have something like this. I don't know, what do you think? --Unaiaia 08:12, 11 November 2006 (EST)

Replied on Unaiaia's talk.

Copied and continued on LyricWiki talk:Community Portal#Tv Series & Movies

[edit] Broken Page

Interesting... I will highlight this so that I remember to come back to it (busy writing an extension atm).

-Sean Colombo 06:52, 12 November 2006 (EST)

Speaking of which...

Notice: Undefined variable: wgScriptPath in /var/www/html/lyricwiki.org/extensions/lyric.php on line 109

just popped up, along with some other errors. Mischko 07:37, 12 November 2006 (EST)

Oops! That was just me putting display_errors=On for the server after the code had bumped the error_reporting to E_ALL. I fixed it pretty fast, so if you empty your cache everything should be ok. Sorry!

-Sean Colombo 07:39, 12 November 2006 (EST)

Just reporting that I don't get it anymore and you probably were working on it... Geez, you're just too fast Sean ;) Mischko 07:41, 12 November 2006 (EST)

[edit] Moving SOTD nomination

I just noticed there is a SOTD-nomination for a Queen-song with the remark that Freddie Mercury died November 24. Would it be possible to move the nomination up / down in the queue so that it actually gets picked on that date? That would be cool! Mischko 06:32, 12 November 2006 (EST)

I'll definitely keep an eye on that and move it down until the 24th. Good call :)

-Sean Colombo 06:50, 12 November 2006 (EST)

[edit] RSS/XML extension bug

While browsing around, I ran into a bug in my code at User:Frontway. This occurs when the feed can be downloaded, but does not contain any items. I already have a fix for this, but I would like the sourcecode currently in use on the server so that I can merge the two together. I also would like it for personal reference when making any further modifications. Please email it to me.

Also, I found where to modify the source to put the sentToFriend extension next to the title. I replied over at Talk:Main Page.

- teknomunk 23:51, 12 November 2006 (EST)

...Changed the sendToFriend thing and popped a fix in for the extension thing. I'll go email you a copy of the current code.

Thanks

-Sean Colombo 02:45, 13 November 2006 (EST)

[edit] More image problems...

I am trying to upload album covers and I am getting this message:

You might want to check that all the folders under images/ have the correct permissions.
- teknomunk 19:44, 13 November 2006 (EST)

Sorry, I was being a n00b. I manually went through the DIRs with SSH File Transfer and changed their properties. That's dumb though. I just ran "chmod -R go+w images/", so it should all work forever now. Sorry again :[

-Sean Colombo 23:56, 13 November 2006 (EST)

Hello there. I get this when trying to upload a JPG

Warning</b>:  finfo_open() [<a href='function.finfo-open'>function.finfo-open</a>]: Failed to load magic database at '/usr/share/misc/magic'. in /var/www/html/lyricwiki.org/includes/MimeMagic.php on line 486

Any ideas? --Unaiaia (talk) 13:54, 10 December 2006 (EST)

I got the error both when uploading from an {{album}} template and directly from upload link, b ut when goign trhough the template the image did not upload --Unaiaia (talk) 14:21, 10 December 2006 (EST)

I don't know what's causing the error specifically, but I know it came when I added the fileinfo module to the wiki so that other image types (PNGs, etc.) could be uploaded without getting that "this file is corrupt" message. I knew that the warning showed up, but previously didn't have any problems with files actually not being uploaded... can you give me more specifics? filetype/filename/etc.?

Thanks,

-Sean Colombo 20:13, 10 December 2006 (EST)

I think the images can be uploaded, it was my problem, sorry :p --Unaiaia (talk) 04:27, 11 December 2006 (EST)

[edit] Urgent! Copied from Überbot userpage

• I've seen this twice, so, i'm not sure if it happened in some ÜberBot work, what i saw is that some Artis pages have the song names wrongly written, look at my lst edition in Fokofpolisiekar. I thin ÜberBot should searc for "[[:" and put "[[ARTIST:". Maybe and investigation should be done to see if there are many pages with this error. --Unaiaia (talk) 20:06, 16 November 2006 (EST)

There are at least a couple Thousands of bands with this problem See Here it's a pretty urgent think i thin. I also noticed that in this pages "|:" should be changed to "|". So!! '[[:' --> '[[{{PAGENAMEE}}:' && '|:' --> '|' --Unaiaia (talk) 06:44, 18 November 2006 (EST)

I went ahead and started taking care of the ones linked to Other_Songs.

- teknomunk 23:17, 18 November 2006 (EST)

[edit] Request For Bot Status

I have managed to create a bot (Janitor) and would like its user account to have non-admin bot status. Currently I have it cleaning up ^ that stuff.

- teknomunk 22:02, 18 November 2006 (EST)

Thanks.

teknomunk 02:36, 19 November 2006 (EST)

Hi! I'm running a bot with teknomunk's code and my own and i'd like its account to have non-admin bot status. The account is R2-D2 and i'm doing Song Formatting right now.

Thanks! --Unaiaia (talk) 11:18, 27 December 2006 (EST)

The edits look solid... Are toa, day toa is a bot now. -Sean Colombo 03:36, 28 December 2006 (EST)

[edit] SOTD November 19, 2006

Hi Sean Colombo! I'm just here to tell you that your nomination of Cake:Love You Madly has won Song of the Day for November 19, 2006!
Thanks for nominating a song and for contributing to LyricWiki!
-ÜberBot 03:56, 19 November 2006 (EST)

[edit] Five Iron Frenzy:It's Funny, But Not Very Creative (1996) - 7" vinyl

I have a quick question, this album was linked as such on the Five Iron Frenzy page, and I accidently created the page with the "- 7" vinyl" still attached. Is this correct, or should the "- 7" vinyl" be deleted to be correctly formatted? My initial reaction was no, but I just want to be sure. Thanks! --WillMak050389 18:35, 22 November 2006 (EST)

I think 7" vinyl is unnecessary in this case since there isn't a different version of the same album with different tracks or anything like that. So it seems perfectly fine to change it.

Thanks,

-Sean Colombo 18:45, 22 November 2006 (EST)

Thanks for the quick response, I'll move it now. Hope you have a good Thanksgiving! --WillMak050389 18:48, 22 November 2006 (EST)

[edit] Cannot upload png

Hi, i was trying to upload a PNG image but it says that the image is corrupted or the extension is wrong. I'm not sure where the problem is, just wanted you to know. You can upload the image to the server yourself and put it withe the other "banners" if you like it. --Unaiaia (talk) 14:53, 24 November 2006 (EST)

Interesting... 'png' is in $wgFileExtensions in LocalSettings.php, but I can't seem to upload any PNGs without that error. (It is also NOT in $wgFileBlacklist). I've searched around and can't seem to find other wikis having this problem. Confusing...

I'll let you know if I figure anything else out. PS: I like the banner :)

-Sean Colombo 21:25, 24 November 2006 (EST)

[edit] Deletion Bot

I read in your User Page that you are planning TO DO a bot to take care of deletions, i'm just not sure if this is a good idea and could cause potential damage. My personal opinion is that deletions should be managed by human admins. Don't you think? --Unaiaia (talk) 08:00, 27 November 2006 (EST)

I agree. The bot is mainly for mass-deletions and to make the whole process quicker, but it would certainly require human-reviewing. If I have time, I wanted the bot to prompt me for each item, but I might not even do that and just have myself type each approved deletion into the bot manually. Thanks for the input though! That would have been dangerous if I was just going to have a bot delete things willy-nilly :)

-Sean Colombo 11:10, 27 November 2006 (EST)

[edit] Mass Moving

Over the next week or so, I think that I will try to code a special page for mass moving pages. I have a mostly working version right now, but I want to know what else, if anything, you are doing in your script. Or if you know of any situation unaccounted for, I would also like to know that.

Right now this is what happens:

1. Query the database for all pages starting with 'from'
2. Modify all links in each page that start with 'from' and replace with 'to'. This is done with a regular expression like this: s/\[\[$from/[[$to/
3. Move the page to a new page with 'to' as the prefix
4. If the page has a talk page, move that in the same manner
5. After all pages have been moved, invalidate the cache of these pages so that link colors update.
6. Report all actions taken

In its current state, use is restricted to sysops.

It is not in a state that I would trust on a live server, so I will continue working on it and testing. However, it is in a useable state, just it likely has bugs.

- teknomunk 19:29, 27 November 2006 (EST)

I was doing it with a bot so that the moves would show up in RecentChanges and could be rolled back if I messed up. Most of pseudo-code looks like my script except that I think I used a more complex regex since there could be a band called "Happy" and one called "Happy Days", etc. I don't remember the details too well... I'll email you the script in a little bit.

The major problem I was having for moves were:

1. Unicode *sigh*
2. Most pages couldn't be just "moved"... they were already in a weird state where there were songs in both formats, or there were two different pages, each with some songs on them, and they really needed a "merge". I don't have a fully-working merge script yet.

I'll email it tonight though (it's on my other comp).

-Sean Colombo 19:42, 27 November 2006 (EST)

I emailed you what I have currently and is basically done unless you can think of anything else. The special page handles Unicode artist names, updates links and when pages cannot be moved, both are marked for a merge. I tested it as best as I could. If you haven't recieved it, let me know.

- teknomunk 23:28, 3 December 2006 (EST)

Sweet, thanks! I got it... I'll try to install it tonight once I get done w/my current task. Thanks again, you're l33t!

-Sean Colombo 00:30, 4 December 2006 (EST)

Unfortunatly, I already see a bug in my code. See Motley_Crue:Babykills and Mötley Crüe:Babykills. Mötley Crüe:Babykills already existed, so it was marked for merge. However Motley Crue:Babykills was not. I will need to look into what is wrong.

- teknomunk 03:01, 4 December 2006 (EST)

Cool, it happens. That script looks pretty sweet so far though :) good job.

Let me know if you find something (I'll take a peek too). Thanks,

[edit] New Template

Hello, Sean. I am also Sean! Anyway, may I tell you I have created a new template, Welcomeh, that I plan to use on welcoming new users. Shall I put this template into use? ~~ Sean gorter  11:59, 5 December 2006 (EST)

Hi and welcome! :)

The template looks good... (we don't have a Template:Helpme yet though). That'd be very nice for new users if you started using {{Welcomeh}}... go for it! :)

-Sean Colombo 13:09, 5 December 2006 (EST)

We do now! Just need to make the image. --Mischko 15:38, 5 December 2006 (EST)

Actually, I have an image, but I can't upload it (keep getting some weird error). I put it up here but I don't know how long it stays there. BTW the new MediaWiki software (the one the English Wikipedia is running) also supports .svg uploads, which is quite cool actually. --Mischko 15:56, 5 December 2006 (EST)

Finally fixed PNG uploads (note to self). Apparently the fileinfo module wasn't installed. Now it displays some tacky warning that I'll try to remove.

-Sean Colombo 17:18, 6 December 2006 (EST)

And do you mind if I create a group called Esperanza? It is a group joined by people dedicated to the success of this lyric site. Can I have the permission? ^_^ ~~ Sean gorter  06:04, 6 December 2006 (EST)

I'm a little confused... the group would be devoted to just the site? Or to people adding Esperanza lyrics to the site?

-Sean Colombo 17:18, 6 December 2006 (EST)

The group will be devoted to the site. ~~ Sean gorter  01:25, 7 December 2006 (EST)

Cool... go for it. I tend to think most people here are dedicated to the success of the site... I guess I still don't understand what the group will be (I'm not familiar with groups on wikis yet). It'll be cool to see :)

-Sean Colombo 02:22, 7 December 2006 (EST)

Created :) ~~•Sean•gorter• 03:15, 8 December 2006 (EST)

And the Esperanza logo was uploaded. Nice? ~~•Sean•gorter• 05:44, 8 December 2006 (EST)

Who changed Template:Welcomeh? ~~•Sean•gorter• 03:30, 11 December 2006 (EST)

Click the 'history' link history. Looks like Mischko changed it.

-Sean Colombo 04:28, 11 December 2006 (EST)

Gotcha. ~~•Sean•gorter• 06:41, 14 December 2006 (EST)

Here's another template that I created! Please subtitute the template when you see it!

[edit] Copyright, Wikipedia and Admins

How are things coming on the copyright front? Do we have any licenses from publishers yet or are there any currently pending? If we do, then they need to be posted on the site. Also we need to get LyricWiki:Copyrights fixed. There currently seems to be a lot of concerns with the validity of this site in view of copyright violation and anything that can help to alleviate that will help.

I saw that the Wikipedia article has been marked for deletion and that all the links from there to here have been removed. I know that this is not the first time that this has happened and that it will probably not be the last.

We have been gaining momentum more quickly in the past few weeks and I think that it might be time to add a few more administrators. I have had my eye on User:Mischko and more recently User:WillMak050389, who seems to have a rather good reputation on Wikipedia. Both seem rather new at this, but so was I when I was made an admin here. The final decision is of course yours to make.

- teknomunk 18:13, 5 December 2006 (EST)

Copyrights: To do a deal, I need a list of artists from the publishers. There is one publisher (a biggin) which is working on getting this together (apparently that's not something they just have around... they have to compile it). I'll send them a reminder...

Wikipedia: I could have an official endorsement from the RIAA and ppl will still insist that we're going to be sued out of existence :-/ I think our best bet is to finalize the deal then press release that we're working with the first publisher and hopefully more publishers will come after that (even though this cuts our revenue in half).

Admins: Good call. Those are both very good candidates... I'll ask them if they're interested.

Thanks for keeping me on my toes!

-Sean Colombo 20:20, 5 December 2006 (EST)

[edit] Adminship

You know, I was thinking about it earlier, and I didn't want to get ahead of myself (only being here a few weeks) but I'll see what I can do. Unfortunately, I am pretty busy with school and work, but I'll see what I can do with the tools. Thanks! --WillMak050389 23:20, 5 December 2006 (EST)

Hey thanks for the tools, I intend on using them wisely, but I've got to go to sleep now... Hope you have a good night. --WillMak050389 23:42, 5 December 2006 (EST)

[edit] Copyright Related Edits

I have written up a few things that deal with copyright issues. If you don't mind, would you look over them to make sure that I didn't do anything stupid when writting them. Here is the list: LyricWiki:Copyrights, Help:Contents/Uploading Content/Sound Clips, Help:Contents/Uploading Content.

Also, have you looked into the GNU Free Documentation license? When you decide if it will be used here, please let me know so that I can update the Copyright page with that information.

- teknomunk 00:41, 8 December 2006 (EST)

Hey :) Thanks for doing that stuff... what you wrote looks solid. Apparently the GFDL has some problems. After reading this (warning:boring) article about its problems and more concisely, this article about why Wikitravel doesn't use it, I don't think it's worth its hassle (the restrictions are pretty rediculous... if a teacher wanted to print out a page for more than 100 students, they'd have to also supply all of the static pages from our site... lame). I also don't think wikitravel's share-alike attribution license is worth it... the bottom of every one of their pages is cluttered with a list of every editor who's touched the page. I think the only potential worry on our site is users submitting content, then (since they technically own copyrights to anything they wrote) trying to block us from redistributing. I think if the copyright message just says that you give us the right to use it however we see fit, then we're safe. As far as applying a free license to make the content more distributable, I can't think of one that works.. they all seem to just add restrictions (in the name of trying to keep it free forever). Basically... this site is just information from a bunch of people, so I'm not going to get offended if people copy a subset, and I frankly have no time/desire to sue anyone... so they're safe. People have a pretty general understanding of what is ethical by now (printing a page to show to a class is no problem... but copying an entire site and just switching the logo is lame), so they wouldn't try anything sketchy without asking us. Even if someone did copy the whole site... it's my personal philosophy that I should still be able to beat them and just make the site so much more desirable through constant improvement that users keep coming back... I don't need a courtroom to give me "ownership" of what I truly own.

Wow, rambling. So to reiterate, I think that as long as we say in one of those edit boxes that "By submitting contributions to the site you forfeit the copyright on any edits made and grant us the right to use your contributions however we see fit." that everything will be safe (because that also doesn't steal copyrights on the content itself... so if an independent musician wants to put up their lyrics... they didn't surrender their copyright to the lyrics themselves, but they gave us the right to use the copy of those lyrics that they sent to us.

Thanks for your time in all of this,

-Sean Colombo 01:59, 8 December 2006 (EST)

PS: How do we edit those boxes on the bottom (where it says "Your changes will be visible immediately")??

Read over some of the information at Wikipedia and it looks like it would be a problem.

The box itself is editable at MediaWiki:Edittools. The part above the summary box is in language/Messages.php at line 536.

- teknomunk 02:15, 8 December 2006 (EST)

Sweet... thanks!

[edit] Album List Order

Has the order that albums should be listed on the artist's page been discussed already? I looked on all the discussion pages that I usually see things like this discussed and could not find anything. If it hasn't would you join the discussion over at Help talk:Contents/Editing/Formatting/Artists. Thanks.

- teknomunk (talk) 01:07, 10 December 2006 (EST)

[edit] Welcome to Esperanza!

[edit] If you wouldn't mind...

I'd like your comments on my proposed change at Help talk:Contents/Editing/Formatting/Artists (go to the "See Also section" heading at the bottom, the #link doesn't see to work well since the heading is a link). I would appreciate your thoughts, since you're the creator of LyricWiki. --WillMak050389 20:57, 11 December 2006 (EST)

Cool... will go there. -Sean Colombo 22:41, 11 December 2006 (EST)

[edit] Mod-rewrite bug

I also have a formatting/link error to report. Click on this link: Five Iron Frenzy:Arnold & Willis & Mr. Drummond, this page exists, but when you click on it, it directs you to Five Iron Frenzy:Arnold (with the website still being http://www.lyricwiki.org/Five_Iron_Frenzy:Arnold_%26_Willis_%26_Mr._Drummond). I'm not sure why this is happening because I've had no problems with other links using an &. I'm not sure if you can find an error in the program/html markup. I just thought I would inform. Thanks! --WillMak050389 22:31, 11 December 2006 (EST)

Hmm... nice catch. I'll look at that (it might be because there are two ampersands).

PS: I'm about to break the server... hold on!

-Sean Colombo 22:41, 11 December 2006 (EST)

Nevermind... apparently what I did didn't break it. W00t! :D -Sean Colombo 22:58, 11 December 2006 (EST)

There is also some problem with Category:Label/Tooth & Nail Records... --WillMak050389 00:24, 16 December 2006 (EST)

[edit] SOTD December 12, 2006

Hi Sean Colombo! I'm just here to tell you that your nomination of The Gray Kid:PaxilBack has won Song of the Day for December 12, 2006!

[edit] This is not urgent... (Administrators)

It's not urgent, as I see you're busy with finals, but you mentioned before needing admins, and I've seen a lot of work coming from Kiefer (talk • contribs). He has been here longer than me and he has accumulated over 1000 edits. Of what I've seen, there are no conflicts or bad point from him. So I'd like to nominate him if possible. I just thought I'd share that with you and I guess you can go back to studying now... --WillMak050389 17:52, 12 December 2006 (EST)

I would like to second that, and also suggest that Unaiaia (talk • contribs) be given consideration as well. Both have been doing a lot of good work here.

[edit] Esperanza Newsletter Updated for December

[edit] End Of The Year Lists

The end of the year music lists are out/coming out. I thought that it might be cool to have a section for listing the end-of-the-year lists, such as from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, etc., perhaps with a list linking those titles to their respective LyricWiki pages. (And, of course, with a link to the original article.) I'm willing to work on it, but I'm not sure where they should be placed. Lists:2006 with just a heading for albums, singles, misc.? Or should the categorization go deeper - Lists:2006 then to Lists:2006:Albums then to Lists:2006:Albums:Rolling_Stone? Curious to your thoughts on this before I get in up to my chin. --Kiefer 10:16, 20 December 2006 (EST)

That's a cool idea :) We should link to it from somewhere on the main page (at least one of those little announcement bubbles) so that people can find it.

As far as naming goes, to make sure it's not confused with an artist named "Lists", we should probably put them at LyricWiki:Lists or even Category:Lists and have the other things as subpages like Lists/2006 and Lists/2006/Albums. Since there probably aren't an enormous amount of lists, we could probably display all of the lists in the Lists/2006 page even if the actual page-names are sub-divided into Lists/2006/Albums /Songs /etc..

I think either LyricWiki:Lists or Category:Lists would work (whichever you or other admins think is best), but it seems that for the pagenames themselves, we might need LyricWiki:Lists/2006/Albums/Rolling Stone, etc. to avoid confusing with lyrics pages.

That's a sweet idea! Thanks,

Okay, I'll start to gather some more list links later today and typing them up. --Kiefer 10:46, 20 December 2006 (EST)

So far, I've managed to type up 9 lists. More to come, (slow work typing up 50-100 items) but I'm noticing a bunch of red links. Main page is atLyricWiki:Lists/2006 --Kiefer 00:03, 22 December 2006 (EST)

Dang, dude, that's sweet! That's a ton of lists & they all look awesome. Those red-spots are probably a really good indication of lyrics that we really should have and don't (since they are probably failry high-demand if they made it to best-of-the-year lists). I'll post an announcement on the main page about the lists.

Thanks for all your hard work!

-Sean Colombo 13:02, 22 December 2006 (EST)

Added 8 more, with more still to come. The lists are actually a little bit fun to do...I'm not up on all the latest stuff, and I'm certainly learning a lot from the lists, but I do get a little buggy-eyed if I do them for too long. It's becoming easier and faster, however, but I'm running out of really good lists. --Kiefer 01:07, 23 December 2006 (EST)

[edit] Errors from SOTD update at 03:48, 25 December 2006 (EST)

Error: No SOTD found.

-ÜberBot 03:48, 25 December 2006 (EST)

I think I have fixed/added it where it needs to be (still need to mark the song page, whoops, I'll get it Done[1]). But I updated Template:Song Of The Day[2], removed it from the queue[3], and added it to the archive[4]. I hope I've fixed it for today, but you may want to check the queue to make sure it is correctly formated for your bot. --WillMak050389

Thanks for fixing it! I think that was just a lack of the leading "<br/>" which I put back on for the next day. Thanks again for grabbing it, that would have been missing for hours :)

[edit] Wikipedia

Hey, I've added an infobox on the wikpedia page for LyricWiki [5], but it still has some info missing you would probably know.

1. Owner: I thought it would probably be you, but wasn't entirely sure
2. Location: Totally clueless on this one (optional parameter)
3. Revenue: I don't know how accurate LyricWiki:Finances is (optional parameter)
4. Screenshot: I wasn't sure how to handle this, as we would most likely need to anonymonize (that might be a word) the "album of the week" and "song of the day" due to copyright issues (optional parameter)

I think a better looking and more informative page on wikipedia would attract more viewers and contributors, because I know I wished I had known about this site when it first came out, I used to do a lot of albums pages work on Wikipedia until I saw the link on your WP user page. Anyway, if you wanted to add that info and check my work, that would be great. Hope you had a great Christmas, unless you celebrate Hannukah, Kwanzaa, or Festivus... --WillMak050389 23:45, 25 December 2006 (EST)

Thanks for adding the infobox. I filled it in a bit more... the location didn't show up though (odd). There hasn't been a full year yet, so I'm not sure what to put for revenue, and I agree that we should have some sort of anonymity for the AOTW and SOTD... I'll see if I can get around to that soon (my other site needs to be done on Jan 6th to set a release date soon after, so I'm burning the holiday-midnight-oil, lol). If you or want to make a screenshot, I def. trust your judgement.

Thanks again... hope you had a great Christmas as well!

-Sean Colombo 00:45, 27 December 2006 (EST)

Well, I think I'm going to use a few fake snadbox pages and fake templates to create a replica of the main page, I'll see what I can come up with... Hopefully I can do this in a short amount of time. I'll reply when I've finished/quit for the night. Hope this works.--WillMak050389 01:11, 27 December 2006 (EST)

Well, I'm about to upload it, and I hope it is ok with you that I say it is fair use at the regular resolution, as this would make the page look funny and cruched at a smaller res. Check it out and reply with and concerns/comments. Thanks! --WillMak050389 02:19, 27 December 2006 (EST)

Uploaded. See [6] and [7]. --WillMak050389 02:27, 27 December 2006 (EST)

Nice, it looks good :). The album art area might look better with an actual album cover in there, so eventually it might be cool to get someone (even if it's just a local band) to give us permission to use their album cover.

Thanks for making the screenshot! -Sean Colombo 04:43, 2 January 2007 (EST)

Looks neat indeed. Perhaps we can make a fake album cover, something like this (don't laugh at my graphics skills, I know they suck).

Made with own photos, hence no copyright. As long as it looks like a real cover when you zoom out :)

If you like any of this they are all mine. The only one we cannot use is the unplugged one beacuse it has the Mtv logo, but we could take that out. All the pics are mine so no copyright issues, and the band is one we invented for a web site project. --Unaiaia (talk) 06:32, 2 January 2007 (EST)

I vote for the first one with the shotglass. Looks good small, nice colors, etc. The MTV unplugged one is my favorite, though. Good stuff, Unaiaia! --Kiefer 12:39, 2 January 2007 (EST)

Wow, that looks a lot better than what I produced. Personally, I also like the first one best. --Mischko <img src="/images/3/31/Talkicon.png" alt="Talk to me" /> <img src="/images/1/1e/EsperanzaIcon.png" alt="Esperanza Member" /> 04:52, 3 January 2007 (EST)
