Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 20:54, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Please discuss

Per bold, revert, discuss, please engage on the talk page to justify your edits to the high end of low. Though the edits may make sense to a fan, wikipedia is written for the average reader, who may not be familiar with White's stage name. Twiggy is most likely to be understood as the English former model, while clarifying in text that this is Tiwggy Ramirez with a different real name is the clearest way to identify the contributors to the album.

OrphanReferenceFixer: Help on reversion

Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to Silent Hill (film).

If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref> and one or more <ref name="foo"/> referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref> but left the <ref name="foo"/>, which results in a in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/> with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any .

If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/OrphanReferenceFixer. Thanks!

Hey there

I submitted a citation for that ODD Lovecraft mention on the Silent Hill article. It's from the University of London's Game Studies (which sounds like an academic discipline that I would love to join haha). Diane Carr is the lady's name, and she makes reference to H.P. Lovecraft in discussing horror-genre and RPG videogames. Let me know what you think. By the way, I am not the original (anon. editor) poster for this subject; I just found it interesting.

Genre

Hi, how come Marilyn Manson would not be considered part of the other genres that I had added? The genre "Rock" alone seems far too vague for him...

Precisely because the band's sound changes so frequently. The only constant is rock- therefore, it is classified here as Rock. Robert Berkshire (talk) 01:43, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
