Talk:Scale the Summit discography

Latest comment: 6 years ago by Zeke, the Mad Horrorist in topic Album covers

Why I made this article (and basically deleted the others) edit

The idea behind this new article is that yes, the band and their albums are significant enough to be included on Wikipedia, but having read their interviews extensively I do not believe that each album warrants its own article. Therefore, I decided to combine them all into one article.

Also, each of their album pages now redirects here.

I would have brought this up for discussion, but I felt I was more or less alone in working on this band's articles. I decided to go through with it anyway, and I decided at the very worst that I would get reverted. Hopefully whoever does has the decency to tell me why. LazyBastardGuy 21:22, 4 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Allmusic citations edit

Having a wee bit of trouble with the Allmusic citations; despite using different ID numbers for each album, they all link to the page for Monument. Any idea how to fix this? LazyBastardGuy 21:36, 4 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

The same ref name ("amg") was used for each citation. I just revised each to distinguish the different albums. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:44, 12 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Ah, slippy little devils. I didn't even notice them. Now I'll know to look-out for them. LazyBastardGuy 00:44, 13 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Album covers edit

This is purely for the record. I've just been informed that the album art featured in this article has been removed and is subject to deletion per WP:F5.

I'm not here to contest that. I am not here to vouch for policy-based reasons as to why they should be reinstated. In fact, I fully understand why they have been removed - policy, as it currently stands, all but demands it.

But that's why I think policy, in this case, is wrong. I understand that multiple non-free images on a single page like this is generally frowned upon, but I don't see how that's any different from there being only one. I believe this is a flawed bit of Wikipedia's code, something for which I would like to (someday) file a request for comment with the intent of completely reversing it.

For now, I'll let it pass. Know only that I received the notifications and believe it's no real loss, at least as far as the effort necessary to reinstate them via uploading and editing.

The problem is not what it'll take to edit them back in.

It's what led to their removal in the first place and which will keep them off the article for a long time to come, robbing readers of an important means of understanding what is being discussed, something policy regarding non-free content has wrong.
