Umm..the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are a pretty big band. I don't see how this is a speedy--Shanel 02:18, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted back from redirect

I've reverted this back from the redirect. Please wait until the discussion on that issue is closed before reverting again. That article may or may not be kept. -- Malber (talk • contribs) 20:20, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also see [1]. This is a sensitive issue, so I think it's important for this article to keep the (drummer) part of the name so the other entry can be protected. -- Malber (talk • contribs) 20:36, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please be aware that Brian Chase the musician is not the same person as Brian Chase the wikipedia editor. Adding defamatory material to this, or any article, is asking to get blocked. Wwwhatsup (talk) 16:40, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Opps! Sorry!

Just an observation-- the link at the top of this article goes right to the Seigenthaler article that mentions defamation. That link creates the (mistaken) impression that this is the one-and-same Brian Chase. I suggest removing that link as it creates confusion.

Also, adding a note to the article explaining that this is not the same Brian Chase would be a better disambiguation. Nevertheless, my apologies.

That redirect is specifically to direct people like you to the correct article. Wwwhatsup (talk) 16:46, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

However well intentioned-- it serves to confuse.

It makes it look (incorrectly) like this is the Brian Chase associated with the controversy.

There should instead be a statement that says "NOT the same Brian Chase associated with the Wikipedia controversy".

(Boldface only added as suggested format for the suggested disambiguation line, not meant in any other way).

Whether or not that is Wikipedia standard procedure, that would be a lot more effective.

I have boldy updated the disambig. PouponOnToast (talk) 16:56, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks! And again, I apologize for my error as well. Although if I made that mistake, others may have as well.

Best,

Giant bold text isn't exactly encyclopedic. Let's see if the word "unrelated" solves the problem. PouponOnToast (talk) 17:01, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems so hard to see that one small word-- "unrelated". It's very easy to miss it.

It's only one word to disambiguate the whole issue--

I missed that one word completely until I re-read it (and others may be missing it too).

Could a comment in the body of the article be added too?

That's my last suggestion. I'll let you guys handle it.

Thanks,

I think the correction should work well. Making too big a thing in the body of the article will just serve to create confusion. You cannot be held responsible for people not reading things properly if what was written is unambiguous (like the way the redirect is written at the moment). StephenBuxton (talk) 17:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You missed the word because it wasn't there when you had your problem - I added it afterwards. I strongly oppose changing the article's body to compromise encyclopedic standards. PouponOnToast (talk) 17:14, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]


I vote for humanity over protocol. Making the extra effort to be absolutely sure is humanity. That trumps protocol any day.

OK, I'm gone now.
