New photo

The new photo is watermarked and thus almost certainly copyright without a source at the very least. Dude in AP uploaded it over the previous photo without changing any of the summary text/credits/etc. Any thoughts? - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 08:25, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

This would bug or annoy me, if I cared about the article; I don't. I just chased a prank editor in here is all.

The image is a bit worrying to me, because of the "HD" logo in the upper right. Forensically, I can't for the life of me tell if it is the same performance or not. But I also think it is a problem for Commons, not Wikipedia. Since their requirements are higher for use of media ("Free and free only", rather than "Free and Fair Use in some cases"), I tend to presume that an image that makes it in there is allowed there. I'd inquire over there if it concerns you greatly.

(I am pretty annoyed at the editor who did the upload for writing over one image with a clearly different image, not a touch-up of the original image; these I think should always have different file names.) —Aladdin Sane (talk) 17:30, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

That was part of what concerned me. The original was clearly a fan photo, probably taken with a cell phone. This new one is clearly a professional photograph, but the text "taken by self" has remained. Ima do some searching around. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 17:56, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Associated Acts

Why are Vokee and The Apex Theory listed under associated acts? What relation do the two have with System besides the first drummer who played with the band for a few years? They have never collaborated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rsage (talk • contribs) 23:51, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Album reviews

On the album articles, the review quotes aren't organized in an encyclopedic fashion. The editor who added them copied what was quoted by Muze. Also, some of the quotes aren't really getting the opinions of the quality of the albums, and are actually describing the musical style. It would be a good idea to look up the original articles and re-edit and reorganize the articles, moving the parts about the musical style to a new section, and cleaning up the reception discussion.

Well, you may wish to go visit a SOAD forum to discuss your like/dislike of the band. This isn't a discussion forum, but their songs are very weird, which is why they are Progressive/experimental music. Personally I'll take weird and unique over manufactured. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 00:08, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

I agree with floydian, this is not really the place to say that they are bad, and yeah most of their songs are pretty odd lyricly (cigaro,violent pornography, and bounce to name a few) but ive heard stranger. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.253.91.208 (talk) 19:39, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
