User:DISEman

I'm the DISEman. What's DISE stand for? - anything you want it to... but it could be Digital Input Sequence Enterer or Delete Inserts Seemingly Erroneous - I'm no relation to The Dice Man but it's a great book which I recommend you read and I'm definitely not Andrew Dice Clay who is a pretty poor excuse for a comedian.

Most of my wikipedia contributions involve music, generally jazz and avant-garde, but I've also been known to add to articles which involve my areas of professional expertise. My first major project on WP was the John Zorn article. I'm also active in trying to improve the album entries for a range of artists including:

• the John Zorn discography,
• the Marc Ribot discography,
• the Bill Frisell discography,
• the Steve Lacy discography,
• the Wayne Shorter discography,
• the Lee Morgan discography,
• the Hank Mobley discography,
• the David Murray discography,
• the McCoy Tyner discography,
• the Cannonball Adderley discography,
• the Sonny Rollins discography
• the Bill Evans discography
• the Keith Jarrett discography
• the Black Saint discography
• the Blue Note Records discography
• the Impulse! Records discography
• the ECM Records discography
• the CTI Records discography...

So far I've created over 4000 album articles. You can check out the last 100 articles I've created (mainly albums) here. I know that they are mainly start class but hey - ya gotta start somewhere.

If you are interested in creating album articles for Wikipedia I would refer you to Moonriddengirl's Notes for Creating Album Articles for some excellent advice.

I'm still learning my way around Wikiworld and welcome any comments or constructive criticism regarding my contributions.
