I understand you

You are fixated on the topic on hand. I have seen the proof. But, I never lose with writing the never-ending process of adding information. Enjoying the game of who's entrie is better. I like writing exercises. Rereading items on Misplaced Pages is a weekly hobby for me. I keep rewriting something even after it is posted. I never post inaccuracies either. I am well informed on anything I do with Misplaced Pages. I honestly believe that it’s simply better to state the newest information on the subject than have your single opinion all over the page. There is a certain amount of justice in writng releavnt information on a subject that anybody can read for information purposes. Your not going to find the kind of information I add anywhere except perhaps an intense goggle search. I hope you understand this.

I'm not sure that an approach such as this is conducive to accurate and responsible editing on Misplaced Pages. If you're so keen to announce the latest news re: Alice Cooper (however insignificant), you may be better off doing so on a fans' website or blog. I fully applaud your enthusiasm for the artist; however, such enthusiasm should not form some justification for you to bypass the editing guidelines which are strictly observed by the majority of regular contributors to the Alice Cooper entry.

2008 News is Noteworthy

The latest news? The only news so far this year. A tour that goes beyond America is news for any Alice Cooper fan. He is huge outside America. Editing guidelines? This is about Alice Cooper, right? Not your idea on what to post or not. Misplaced Pages is based purely on its merits of outside contributers with details. Cooper is one of the rarest of singers. He has a big career outside America. Cooper has gained much momentum during his long career outside America,and people have the option to use Misplaced Pages to add a variety of noteworthy statistics on anything. Including Alice Cooper.

Have fun, Electric Japan (talk) 15:43, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Alice Cooper - please follow Manual of Style for titles

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Misplaced Pages has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Alice Cooper, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please note that song titles are enclosed in quotes, not italics; album titles and TV show names do go in italics as per the Manual of Style regarding titles. Dl2000 (talk) 02:17, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for info - will make changes accordingly on the Alice Cooper pageJprw (talk) 07:44, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

August 2008

Please don't change the format of dates, as you did to Ian Curtis. Most British people and many people internationally write dates in day-month-year order, e.g., 12 December 1904. Most Americans use month-day-year order, e.g., December 12, 1904. If the article is about an American topic, use month-day-year. If it is a British or European topic, use day-month-year. If neither, leave it as originally written. Many Americans or British people take offence if an article about their country, written in their local version of English, is changed around to a version they don't use. So please do not do that.

Dates are usually enclosed in two square brackets, as in ] or ]. This means that you can set your preferences (if you look around your screen you'll see the word preferences; click on it and follow the instructions) to ensure that you see all dates in the format you want, whether date-month-year, month-date-year or yyyy-mm-dd. The general rules on how Misplaced Pages articles are written can be seen in the Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style. Rules specific to dates and numbers can be seen in the Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (dates and numbers).

If you have any questions about this, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Enjoy your time on the web's fastest growing encyclopædia (or encyclopedia, if you write it that way!). Thank you. JD554 (talk) 15:04, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Alice Cooper Talk Page

Is there any particular reason you undid my archiving of old posts on the Alice Cooper talk page? I only archived old entries, I did not delete them. There was so much old material and conversations that it was difficult to find current issues. Note that I left current issues on the page for further discussion. -HamatoKameko (talk) 05:57, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

duh

maybe you should read the posts on the 'discussion' page, before you start making incorrect changes to subject matter you obviously know nothing about?Kingevil (talk) 01:36, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

you should not be allowed to touch a computer...... ever.
