Alice Cooper

Well... Yeah, the band has its own page, but they are still part of the peronal Alice Coopr "used", band and solo project use the same template, and all band albums are also on the solo projekt page and btw Alice cooper still uses band songs for solo project compilation albums. so ist wrong to exclute them from the Alice cooper personal page. also its wrong to exclute the current band members from the template Norschweden (talk) 18:54, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for reaching out. I will be copying this to your talk page to make sure that you see it. And I will be reverting the data back, but again, I am going to give it time to make sure that you see this.

When I said that the issue has been discussed, I hope that you did not think that I implied that you and I had discussed it. Obviously, we didn't. I meant that the good people at Wikipedia had already debated this issue. That is why there are 3 pages and not just 1. In fact, I didn't even agree with the some of the final results that they came up with, and I thought that there should be a 4th page, but it is what the consensus arrived at - which is why I reverted your rename.

The problem, specific to Alice Cooper, is because Vincent Furnier was not a member of The Alice Cooper Band after 1973. Nor was Vincent known as Alice Cooper during his tenure with the band. So, when you say that Alice says that it is the same band, he may have said it but there is no way it can be true. Notice how I wrote that, The Alice Cooper Band, which is different than Alice Cooper or Alice Cooper's band.

You have the original band. You have the man. And you have the solo act.

Guys like Rob Zombie advocate that their biographies be separated into the business page and the personal page to end the confusion. Meaning, what has Rob Zombie/Rob Cummings been up to, and what has band known as Rob Zombie been up to. It happens with many solo artists, where their personal information gets bogged down with the business information. But, whatever brought on the discussion all those years ago, the various Cooper pages have been discussed and separated.

The Alice Cooper Band is a separate entity from the personnel that is used in Alice Cooper's band. They do not get listed on the personnel page - they were never personnel. That is why they have their own page, and that is also why more recent 'members' like Ryan Roxie do not get listed on the The Alice Cooper Band page.

I don't have the links to the discussions, nor do I know how long WP keeps them. I just know that the issue was discussed. It is how it is for a reason.

Now, onto a related issue:

The template does not need to maintain a list of current members. The current "band" is more like a Broadway play. It is not a conventional band where everyone is an equal and has input. You have Alice, and you have his employees. They all follow orders. They all do the same thing every night. If someone gets sick, quits, or just needs a night off, the show goes on without missing a beat. Someone else will simply walk in and replace them. I also wanted to mention that you did not include any of the non-musical stage performers. The current show has a list of stage performers. It is really unfair that they do not get credited in more places even though they get paid the same scale as Nita Strauss.

And there you have it in a nutshell. Kellymoat (talk) 19:01, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Ok, the band has its own site and that is good, but they played the songs and albums cooper is known for, and i think when we list their albums and hit on coopers solo page, they should be noticed on the personal page because they dont have an own one. i think the perfect way would be if we would add a second color to their strip on the personal page and add more information. and in the template i still think thats no reason to delete them Norschweden (talk) 00:30, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

I am going to start by going totally off topic by saying - Guns 'N Roses plays a song by the Paul McCartney band Wings called Live And Let Die. Does this mean that we should include Axl Rose as a member of The Beatles? Of course it doesn't.

The reason I bring that up is because it really doesn't matter who plays who's songs. Particular to Alice Cooper and The Alice Cooper Band, you have it backwards. Alice Cooper's solo act is performing songs that The Alice Cooper Band made famous.

Alice Cooper (the man) did not exist until after Vincent Furnier left the band. The original band continued to play those songs without Vincent. Vincent went 'solo'. He also played those songs. Members of the original band should not be listed on the page of the solo act's personnel. And, to take this a step further... The original band got back together for a couple shows in 2012. None of that information is included in the solo's act page. Nor did the reformed band play songs from the solo act. These things are completely separate entities. They should not be included.

I know that it is confusing to grasp all of the different Alice Cooper variants, but that is the exactly why we need to keep them separate. It just adds to the confusion if we associate the wrong people on the wrong page. The solo act is completely separate from the original band.

Kellymoat (talk) 16:22, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

i see two possibilitys, frist on is to seperate everything, that means also to do two templates and put the band albums in acs article unter "with ACBand" or we do a half seperation with one template, one peronnal page but two articles like now, but the version before my edit is a mess and shouldnt be reestablished again Norschweden (talk) 02:20, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

The template and pages are separate issues with separate rules. The pages themselves represent separate entities, which is why later today I am going to go revert and redirect them back to the consensus opinion (ie, the original band does not get listed on the solo personnel page). The templates have a little more leeway than pages do, and they (like the pages) do need some cleanup-editing, but the solo personnel do not get listed on the template due to their status as employees.

Thank you for listening. Consider this issue closed.

You're the edit warrior.

If anyone is edit warring, it's you.

Corkythehornetfan set the template up with Mulvaney in the dual role, and all I did was reset it after you keep changing it (because I happen to agree with his version).

So you are going against the wishes of 2 editors - Corky, and myself.

So please stop with this nonsense.

Thank you.

1. no i'm not, i'm restoring the status quo prior to your disruptive edits 2. it doesn't matter if two people want it, fact is, there is a disagreement and no consensus at all, so satus quo has to remain till a consensus in reached, please read the rules Norschweden (talk) 23:49, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

Walt Disney Studios (division)

Your recent editing history at Walt Disney Studios (division) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Blue Sky Studios is the primary operating subsidiary of 20th Century Fox Animation. "of cause the official company website is much more valid and up to date than a news article". The news articles is not "much more valid and up to date than a news article" as a website may not keep up with corporate actions. Per WP:SOURCES, primary sources are NOT more valid than a news article. As I pointed out there is no listing for Marvel Entertainment, which we know still operates, at the Disney website's list of business (which lists Marvel Studios but it was separated from the rest of Marvel), but it still reports to Disney's CEO. Thus it isn't completely accurate. At waltdisneystudios.com's business list it shows Blue Sky's logo and after you click on it. The description states "...Twentieth Century Fox Animation (including Blue Sky Studios)..." Spshu (talk) 13:11, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

Xbox Game Studios

Hi Norschweden, in regards to this edit of yours on Xbox Game Studios. The notes column was added very recently by an IP editor. It contains very trivial information (such as etymologies) and is, for the most part, unsourced. This is not the kind of content we need in tables meant to be concise; if anything, the notes should relate only to XGS's parenthood or Microsoft's ownership of the studio. You didn't provide an edit summary with your reversion so I couldn't tell what your reasoning was for including unsourced trivia. Please let me know what your thoughts are on this.

Non-free images can only be used when they enhance a reader's understanding. So there are selected pages where that flag would be appropriate (namely the Proud Boys article).

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
