XXXX in Music
Oy. Instead of saying "See xxxx in music", why don't we just link xxxx in music to the year? With an article like this where there are lots of years mentioned, that "see" thing is a little ridiculous. -- Zoe
- I agree, it's changed now. -- Delirium 04:45 12 Jun 2003 (UTC)
In keeping with some other music articles, I'm changing so the year itself links to xxxx in music. Something like "Against the Grain, released in 1990, blah blah." -- Delirium
- Are you (Zoe) suggesting "XXX released XXX in 1995" with a piped link to the year in music, or to just link straight to the main year page? I would be against the piped link because readers will assume it is about the year in general, and I would be against the straight link to the main year page because... I dunno, it just seems more useful to link to the year in music. If someone is clicking on it, I'd think the main reason is to find out what else happened in music in that year, not who won Japanese Prime Minister elections or something. Anyway, I don't feel too strongly about it and will adhere to the consensus, but that's my feelings. I agree it's unattractive, but I think clarity and ease of use are more important.

- Well, the piping is pretty clear. No one will expect Bad Religion albums to be listed on the all-things-to-all-people year page, just the year-in-music page. Different question: Should the year in music pages link to the year pages? Should the year pages link to the year in music pages? If each year page had a link to the year in music page, then readers could see that, by golly, that Bad Religion album came out the same year Noriega was arrested before going on to the year in music, where they will find that Milli Vanilli was also arrested that year.

- This only confirms my suspicion that Noriega was a member of both Milli Vanilli and Bad Religion. Tokerboy 03:52 Jan 13, 2003 (UTC)

Intro
Intro is completely wrong. Into the Unknown was not their debut album, and it did not sell well. On the contrary, it was enormously unpopular and directly led to the band breaking up, as it was psychadelic rock, which alienated the punk fans. Removing for now, I'll fix when I get some time. -- Delirium
- Aah, I've been writing these based on allmusic.com, which is usually accurate but has a tendency to avoid saying much negative (I'm guessing because they make money off the "click here to buy" links). Tokerboy

Removed text: In his doctoral dissertation, "Monism, Atheism, and the Naturalist World-View: Perspectives from Evolutionary Biology," he concludes that there's "no conflict between evolutionary theory and religion on the one important condition that religion is essentially atheistic." One of his beliefs (and he is a man of deep faith), which must have helped him to arrive at his findings, is that naturalism is set to become a new and influential religion. Naturalism "is satisfying," Graffin has said, "because it is a teacher. Naturalism teaches one of the most important things in the world: there is only this life—so live wonderfully and meaningfully." And one of the keys to a wonderful and meaningful existence is living free of delusions, which all "bad religions"—traditional churches, political dogmas, conformist social codes—trade in. He also denies the existence of free will.
This paragraph is lifted practically word-for-word from Christianity Today (http://www.christianitytoday.com/bc/2004/002/9.26.html). Linking to that article might well be appropriate, but cut-and-pasting it is not. --Calair 00:10, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Discussion separation
OK, on this page we had the separate discussions above titled "XXXX in Music" and "Intro" as one discussion with no header. I separated the comments for these and added the titles. Just thought I should mention this because you can change it back if you want (and because I'm reorganising what's already been posted). Fantom 18:05, May 11, 2005 (UTC)
