Since there are already two Paul O'Neills, does anyone know the best way to decide what to give his links? I put (Record Producer) but then noticed Trans-Siberian Orchestra's page has (composer). Which is better? I think he should have a stub made with brief information of him so he can have a disambiguation link on the page along with the baseball player, but I don't know anything about him beyond Savatage and TSO.

I think (Producer) would be best, since he really isn't a composer... He produces each of the albums, works with concepts and such, but he's not really a composer.


I removed the Chance summary because I've no idea where the Italian reference comes from.. the official faq http://www.savatage.com/bandinfo/faq3.html says it is about Sugihara (Although the first name is different to the wiki article, must be a mix up from O'Neill) as it says on Handful of Rain page, and I didn't think the song topic needs restating twice in the encylopedia so I didn't correct it.

According to his Japanese Wikipedia entry, Senpo/Sempo was Sugihara's nickname. The characters that form his real name, Chiune, can also be read as Senpo. I guess O'Neill just knew of him by his nickname.

[edit] External Links

I've trimmed links here before, but the ones remaining seem OK by WP:EL, so I've reverted their deletion twice. Why wouldn't they be acceptable? -- JHunterJ 12:06, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citation request

Edit summary says "removed offending facts" -- since when are citation requests offensive? -- JHunterJ 14:37, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You forgot Doctor Butcher

You failed to mention Jon and Chris's other project Doctor Butcher.

[edit] Savatage breaking up?

IMHO, a citation would be helpful, considering the fact that there's nothing about that in their official site for extense.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Savatage Logo.png

Image:Savatage Logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:01, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Five-Star Ratings

Please forgive my ignorance, but where do these star ratings for the albums come from? Without some kind of reference to whose ratings they are, there's no way they are NPOV. Please help me understand how they got there and where they come from. Mitchell k dwyer 11:37, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

With no discussion after one week, I have removed the ratings. Mitchell k dwyer 10:00, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Dungeons are Calling

Quick question, do people consider The Dungeons are Calling an EP or an album? Because it's consistantly getting re-added to the Studio Albums section on the Discography section of the page. If it's an EP, then it's not a studio album and shouldn't be there, that's all.
