Strictly Genteel

Hi Manning,

Some years ago, a few people here attempted to fix this problem you are mentionning about the tracks by album and/or version.

However this Titan work did not go very far mainly due to the lack of contributors.

And this sucks because I think we finally met a consensus by updating the tracks on the Freak Out! album.

Hungry Freaks, Daddy is likely a good example of what should be done.

Naturally if anybody wanted to take the lead and unburry this 'born-dead project', I would be very pleased to participate from time to time.

But I doubt that anyone else would help us on this.

Editing guidelines

Hi Manning,

I noticed the small paragraph you added to the Video From Hell article is actually a copy/paste from the Wikipedia article.

This article was published under conditions of the Creative Commons license which mentions the original article can be copied, however we "must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor". So this is nearly the same as quoting and sourcing a paragraph.

Well, in the current case, I guess that it would have been better to rewrite the paragraph with your own words.

Thanks for your understanding
