@Malechite - if you ever want to give ninwiki a sub-name/catchphrase, how about “Everything gets written down.”?
I did my annual wiki dump/backup to archive.org: https://archive.org/details/wiki-www.nin.wiki-20220701
Something has made me revisit this. Listen to BFTA on YT at 1.25 speed and then listen to Aftermath at normal speed. The 1.25 speed is not an exact match for the tempo, but it's close enough to hear what I was getting at. The sample isn't 100% direct, but there are two elements from BFTA that I feel are being used in Aftermath. Anyone else hear it?
Is “I personally think this is a sample” the only bar to reach to claim so on the wiki?
I don't know. I usually try to have multiple ears confirming a sample, just to be sure.
Guys, should we be populating this page?
https://www.nin.wiki/Covers_Of_NIN
If so, how do we decide which artists get added? For example, does any old live cover count or should it only be covers that have had some sort of a commercial or professionally-recorded release? What are some other situations where a page like this would get messy?
I think live covers are okay as long as the performing artist is relatively well-known (Corey Taylor, Mumford & Suns, Brand New etc) and not just some unknown cover band or homemade garage youtube cover
How is the Johnny Cash cover of Hurt not listed on that page?? LOL – It's THE most famous cover. (Yes, I saw it's a test page, but still)
I have a strong feeling that the actor in the Help Me Im In Hell video is Serge Becker, one of the directors. Pictures match up pretty well.
I don't see a lot of similarity. Nose, lips, nasolabial folds are all different. Also, Serge Becker has brown eyes and at the :51 second mark in the video, you can see that the actor has lighter colored eyes.
Can we make note of when the vinyl reissues included a digital download copy, and maybe even attach a picture of the digital download card art?
Sounds good to me.
Looking at the page for 2001-07-01 London page (https://www.nin.wiki/2000/07/01_London,_UK), 3 of the 4 external links no longer work. Is there any way to restore these?
For reference, here's those 3 articles on the Wayback Machine:

Is it worth showing some of the other alternate Beside You in Time cover options that Rob recently revealed on Facebook? You know, besides the blue version that was used for the lithograph given away as a pre-order bonus (my personal favorite of the cover designs because of how it mimics the With Teeth cover art).
I've added them in a gallery within the artwork section. Thanks for the heads up!

Two more MIA pages:

Added a new bootleg. Still learning the ropes, sort of.

@piggy can you edit this page to state Charlie confirmed "Rotation" was "The Big Come Down" please? -
https://www.nin.wiki/The_Fragile_(halo)
Sorry, I meant this part on The Fragile page:
Note that whilst "Anomaly" has been confirmed to be the working title of "The Way Out Is Through", the final titles for "Rotation" and "Stained" have not been revealed; "Underneath It All" may be the final title for the latter, based on its prominent lyrical use of the word.
Ok, I copied over the bit from the "Rotation" page onto The Fragile page. I was going to do that the other day, but never got around to it.
@Malechite I scanned the whole site, and I think this is a complete list of URLs that the database says should exist, but do not.
