I noticed you tagged [[:Image:Tool lateralus lines syllabels fibonacci.png]] for deletion. Just letting you know that this image can be tagged for speedy deletion under [[WP:SPEEDY#General_criteria|GC7]]. All you have to do is add {{tl|Db-author}} to the page.

== Tool Videos -- Animation ==

You might want to look into whether or not ALL Tool videos except for "Hush" contain stop animation. I recently watched the video for "Stinkfist," and if there was any stop motion animation, it was not very evident. Also, if I recall there was very little, or maybe no stop motion in the video for "Scism" as well, but it's been a while since I saw that one.<small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:71.241.194.254|71.241.194.254]] ([[User talk:71.241.194.254|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/71.241.194.254|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
:Thank you, I'll look into that right now. [[User:Johnnyw|<font color=454545>Johnny</font><font color=999999>w</font>]] [[User talk:Johnnyw|<font color="black">''talk''</font>]] 10:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:Well, after looking at the
* "Stinkfist" video, there seems to be some examples, like the scene with the arm growing out of the wall, pointing at one of the characters.. but the name a 3rd party source, look [http://toolshed.down.net/articles/index.php?action=view-article&id=January_1997--New_York_Daily_News.html here]: "Take, for example, Jones' latest, startling clip for Tool's "Stinkfist", currently in heavy rotation on MTV. Using a mixture of complex stop-action animation and gnarly live-action figures, Jones constructs an alternate universe populated by crazed sand-people who swallow nails and suck on fat tubes and wires."
* "Schism" video.... well, how do you think that little guy inside one of the characters was made?
:I hope you agree with my observations, and thanks again for giving me s.th. to ponder about. Best wishes! [[User:Johnnyw|<font color=454545>Johnny</font><font color=999999>w</font>]] [[User talk:Johnnyw|<font color="black">''talk''</font>]] 10:48, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::I agree with the observations. I think the key word is "contain", which means it could have 2 frames of stop animation and that makes it acceptable. If people are going to confuse this with meaning the entire video is stop animation, maybe we should think of a different word. [[User:Wikidan829|Wikidan829]] 13:24, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

::::After re-reading whatever changes you made, it does make more sense now. I don't remember what the original text said, but it lead me to believe that the animation of all of their videos was on par with Sober and Prison Sex, which are entirely stop motion. BTW, have you seen them live? Catch them on this tour, if you can...they are amazing.<small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:71.241.194.254|71.241.194.254]] ([[User talk:71.241.194.254|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/71.241.194.254|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
:::::OK, I am glad the changes fit. And yes, I've seen them last year, but was disappointed: the location sucked, people weren't even all in when they started to play (they started at 9.00 sharp, there was no opening act), the setlist didn't last 90 minutes and they messed up a couple of times in my favorite songs (like Lateralus), and it cost a proud 45€. I did get goosebumps at some songs though that are very close to me. Worse is probably, that I actually (by many circumstances) missed out on seeing them in 2001, it was a conscious decision not to go, and it was probably one of the dumbest things I've ever done (which is also a good sign in some way). Maybe I'll go and see them at lowlands (if cash permits).

== Re: Tool at FAC ==

Hey Dave! I will be submitting [[Tool (band)|Tool]] to FAC tonight or tomorrow. It would be <s>insane</s>/awesome/<s>a waste of time</s>/<s>disturbingly unpleasant</s>/appreciated if you could help me out getting this article to FA status. Since I will be moving from Barcelona back to Berlin on Wednesday, I will most probably be very grateful for any spare minute you could spend on addressing any of the objections that the article will encounter. As soon as the article is listed, I'll post a talk topic at the  [[Talk:Tool (band)|Tool talk page]]. Thanks in advance, of course I will return the favor whenever you're in need. [[User:Johnnyw|<font color=454545>Johnny</font><font color=999999>w</font>]] [[User talk:Johnnyw|<font color="black">''talk''</font>]] 19:24, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
:Sure Johnny, I'd be happy to help.  If there are any issues right now that you want me to take care of, I should have a few hours later tonight to devote to it.  Other than that, I'll go through and tighten the prose where I can and that sort of thing.  
:I noticed the [[Wikipedia:Peer review/Tool (band)/archive2|peer review]] this morning.  About the articles used from toolshed, how do we go about finding ISSN numbers for them?  The reviewer raised a good point, but A)I wonder if it is a copyright vio, since the entire magazine isn't being reproduced just an article and B) It's a lot easier to point a reader to a URL where the article is than asking them to find it offline.
:But, whatever I guess, I'll do what i can to get it to FAC with ya!  Thanks again for your hard work on it. [[User:Daveh4h|daveh4h]] 20:18, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
::Actually, I tried pretty hard to find the ISSN. Mostly, where we used the tdn transcripts, the articles were out of print, which probably means bad luck. I think we'll have to wait what the FAC people think about this (I mentioned it in the nomination) before changing the citations again... unless we find some current sources with ISSN, which we could use to replace the older ones. One way would be to google for "10,000 words" and look on the first page for the website with Tool articles. Don't want to link directly since it's most probably a copy-vio. There you will find some stuff to read, if you like ;) And besides that, any double-checking the prose would be cool!

::::Let me know a couple days before hand if you re-nom.  I'll probably see it on the article talk page if you want to just put it there.  I feel like a lot done through the nomination process though.  Nice work, Johnny.  
:::::Thanks for your work as well! Actually I don't really understand why the nomination was archived. Maybe it was the missing support? ..I'm thinking about asking..

::::::I missed this comment the last time Johnny, sorry.  I enjoyed working on it, so no need for thanks there.  :-) I think it was archived based on the time it ran and that it failed to gain support...I lurked around FAC for a while after the last Tool FAC and that seems to be the custom.

Hey Johnny, I've been super busy lately, and I have doubts that is going to change...But I think I will have some time to work on the Tool article between September 1-8.  The 5th I'll be out of town though.  I haven't had much time on here for a few weeks, and I'm hoping that will change.  I don't think the article will need as much work as it did the first go, since you and I know what to expect a little more, but I will chip in as time permits.  Still no response from blair btw.  :-) See you at FAC! Take care, 02:25, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

:Oh crap, Johnny, I just saw the Tool FAC pop up on my watchlist..sorry I couldn't be around for this man, I really am.  I have had time to pop in for a few minutes here and there but not much more.  It looks like the FAC is going well so I dunno if you even need anything but I'll run through it tomorrow if I get a chance.  When does the FAC close?  If you could, please answer on my talk so I don't forget to check here.  Sorry again man, I kinda forgot about it.  Tons of stuff going on lately.

== Just a heads up ==

As you may have noticed, {{user|Superfopp}} is making a number of stoner rock related edits, some of which are tinkering with the definition of stoner rock / metal on the main article and genre articles and lists. I've asked him to seek consensus twice now (no reply or acknowledgement as yet), and reverted several edits. I don't yet feel he's being disruptive but we should keep an eye out.

:Thanks for the heads up Deiz, will keep my eyes open. Problem is I am moving from Barcelona back to Berlin so could be a bit distracted the next couple o' days.

==Re: Tool's FAC==
When an editor cites 1a at an FAC, keep asking them for specific instances. They cannot object to this; if their objection is too vague, then it can be deemed invalid. When an editor cites 1a for an objection and doesn't elaborate much, it can be difficult to address. If you force their hand and have them point out specific instances though, then you can address them. Thus, you can keep asking for specific instances of awkward writing and then address them until their objection is no longer valid. [[User:LuciferMorgan|LuciferMorgan]] 13:19, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

== [[WP:WPTool|WP:Wikiproject Tool]] update ==

A few updates in events:
*[[Maynard James Keenan]] has been listed for copy-edit at the [[WP:LoCE]], however, the backlog is quite long. Therefore, if anyone has copy-editing skills, please go over the article. I would do it myself, but I've done quite a bit of work on the article and I am incapable of copy-editing my own work.
*[[Maynard James Keenan discography]] has been worked back into the bio and has been determined to be redundant of the main discographies. It will most likely be deleted this week.
*[[Devo Keenan]] has been created. I think this is a good opportunity for the project to get together and create a DYK entry. The article needs to be expanded and referenced. Hopefully this is possible. I've not yet looked to see how much information is available. '''Please take time to help with this, if you can. We have four days!!'''
Thanks to everyone who has helped thus far. The project is still very new, but good progress is being made!

== Tool's first album wasn't Undertow . . . ==

Tool's first album was Opiate.  Just thought I'd throw that out there.  It's my personal fave, though they're all great. Maybe we just have different definitions of it, or something.  It only had like six songs on it and half of them were live.  Just a big fan of the band and wanted to share that, in case you'd never heard it.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/71.8.67.46|71.8.67.46]] ([[User talk:71.8.67.46|talk]]) 11:18, 19 March 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference ==

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse ([[Help_talk:Minor_edit#Should_we_remove_the_Preference_setting_to_.22Mark_all_edits_minor_by_default.22_.3F|consensus discussion]]). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was <code>true</code>. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to <code>false</code> in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way. 

For established users such as yourself there is '''[[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)/Archive_78#Preference_to_mark_all_edits_minor_by_default_asked_to_be_removed_in_bugzilla:24313|a workaround available]]''' involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by [[WP:MINOR]]). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of [[User:Jarry1250]], [[User:LivingBot|LivingBot]] ([[User talk:LivingBot|talk]]) 18:27, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

== How to pick number of audio samples ==

Hello, I see you the editor who added the audio clips to [[Tool_(band)]]. It looks like you have done a large amount of work on that article. Nice work! It is well done.

Would you have any thoughts or advice on how you chose which sample audio clips to use, and how many to use for the article? I see in the talk page history mentions of [[Talk:Tool_(band)/Archive_2#let's_kick_it_up_another_notch_(good_article)|focusing on songs mentioned in the article]], and including them in each section. Was there anything that made you choose four samples?

I am currently working on a music article and trying to figure out how to balance [[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Music_samples|Mos music samples]] with [[WP:NFCCP#3|WP:NFCCP#3 minimal use]]. I have [[Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Music_samples#Clarify_number_of_audio_samples|posted on the talk page for MoS Music samples]] to ask for help. If you have any thoughts I would love to hear them.
