Re: MDNA

[edit]

It's happened before. In the industry now, with the likes of Adele, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga, she'll have a tough time competing. Commercially that is. I can't understand how Rihanna is so successful on charts. Critically speaking, people will have very high expectations for Madge, and will find themselves disappointed. C'mon, she has had her fair share of criticism and commercial failure. After the negative reviews for W/.E., who knows. She's gotta outdo herself. I do have strong hopes for one of the greatest artists of the century, but not getting my hopes too high. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 22:54, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't that what a flop is though? Oh well, I guess she'll be very successful. I guess my lack of faith could be that I'm not a huge fan of her, but I hope she's inovating this time. Femme Fatale was quite a disappointment from Spears. Just cranked up the auto-tune and borrowed lyrics by Ke$ha. I hope Madonna does something new though. Something radio-friendly, yet with strong vocals and a catchy tune. But I guess the secret to chart success nowadays is lots of autotune and electronic production. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 23:24, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds to me like you've done your research. ;-) I haven't a clue how the album was composed, but a Music x ROL combo sounds really Madge-genuine. I've heard the "Masterpiece" demo, though I'm not sure if they are going to release it for both the W/E soundtrack and MDNA. The title of the album does give the impression that Madonna's preparing to make a big comeback and make Interscope happy and Sire jealous. I guess I underestimated her, but I still refuse to get my hopes up. I did it with Hard Candy and Confessions, which weren't flops, but there were no LAV or ROL. I do hope she does something like "Hung Up" though. That was nice. I still can't stand Nicki Minaj. "Young Money!" WTF. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 23:43, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"You don't need diamond rings or eighteen karat gold..." Nostalgia right there. She has to do something like that. I feel like her older songs sounded a lot like U2 and Bob Dylan. It's just me. I've always loved her tunes and melodies, even if her vocals were meh. Although I didn't like Confessions ("Jump" was a disappointment no doubt), the sampling on "Hung Up" was brilliant. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 23:59, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lana Del Rey album, eps etc..

An album or an ep does not have to chart to be notable.......look at these:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Leak

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitmixes

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dance_Remixes


i suggest you be more familiar with the rules of wikipedia.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Need some hypnotherapy (talk • contribs) 02:00, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Kill Kill EP has two extremely reliable sources in the article........so, you just want more sources?...an article doesn't need excessive million sources saying the exact same thing...its not about the amount of sources........i think we need to open a formal discussion and see what other editors have to say......cause in the end, its not my or your decision.....lets open a discussion, and we will see what the conscious will be.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Need some hypnotherapy (talk • contribs) 02:10, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Are you even looking at the articles?........The Kill Kill EP and the Lana Del Rey EP both have 2 sources...........and i can easily add another source for the Lana Del Ray album....how much sources more should i add?...cause i can add alot more reliable sources....... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Need some hypnotherapy (talk • contribs) 02:16, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Give me time....im working on all of them.....oh also, i read the rules, and i can't seem to find the part that says an album has to chart to be notable...i can't find it......can you tell me where that is written specifically..... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Need some hypnotherapy (talk • contribs) 02:30, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion

[edit]

I've declined your speedy deletion requests for Hurts Like Heaven and Us Against The World (Coldplay Song). The A3 speedy deletion criterion clearly states that only pages without ANY content are eligible for speedy deletion under it, and each song clearly had content- in fact, they had at least two coherent sentences each.--Slon02 (talk) 04:31, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Single Ladies

[edit]

Hey how are you Zach? Well, I believe you are right but you know the article has just been promoted and "Halo" is actually nominated for FAC. I won't have time to work on it right now. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 05:45, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how it will be appreciated. People are already moaning (lol) about WFL separate article. Considering that the amount of information in "Single Ladies" cultural impact currently does not equal the amount of information that video has got, I really don't know what to say. Plus, it has just been promoted, won't such a major add / remove of information affect its FA status if not done properly? Added to that, I will have to nominate it for GA, then FA. I am not prepared to face the stress I had on SL third FAC. Have you seen the page? It was never-ending. :P Have a look. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 05:54, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, all of those article are big messes. :D I will tell you later. First, I will have to contact each and every member of the Wiki-project and of course others like (Lego, Nathan, + the copy-editors of SL + those who voted on the FAC) to see what they think. Okay? Jivesh1205 (Talk) 06:10, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) Well I think its a great idea, though it does raise concerns on how much information should be removed from SL's article. It has potential. Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 06:13, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh thanks Jona. And sure Zach but as I told you my main concern for now is "Halo". But I promise I won't forget. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 06:15, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jennifer Lopez filmography FLC

[edit]

With the thin level of support so far, I don't think the FLC is ready for a result, unfortunately. For now, I'm leaving it up there to allow it the chance to be reviewed further. Be patient and I'm sure things will work out. Also, please consider reviewing one or two of the lists yourself. The fewer lists on FLC, the less competition your list has for reviews!

JLO

[edit]

hi...if you remember me i'm the one that changed the info-box lol. Anyway about the JLO page, i added addition info to her music section....this is my paranoia talking but could you not remove it? Sorry. Its just everything i have done for the page is removed (and i understand why, partially). Thanks. SoapJar 10:08, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

layout

[edit]
Well i will take the liberty of moving Al & Qv to the music career. Also may i put the years back in? It looks better like that and is easier to read the contents as a guide. Also i don't think that AL and Qv should be in that section, its not business (if it were to be done like that, then EVERYTHING would be business, because for her, it technically is.:p). And did u see what i said about the pics? Hope u did.. What about an "Endorsements" section? Many things would fall under this category. Anyway i still think that the movies + music should be merged together. I can have that done (if you and others agree) in a short amount of time. All i need to do is put in the movie sentences in between the music ones, and mix and match it up so it doesn't sound odd. Also – about the Reality section i made; i did that as i was going to add In Living Color to it, and add more info about her dancing etc as it isn't touched on enough. About finding sources for her early days in the business, thats easy. Just type it into a google news archive. IT works wonders :D :D and newspapers can never be turned down as a source. SoapJar 18:52, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Also, if we merged everything together. IT would be SO easy. This would be the contents:
  • Life and Career
  • -1969-1990: early life and career beginnings
  • -1991-1995: Dance and whatever lol
  • -1996-1999: Film breakthrough (that detailing the success[and her succes]]) in selena, Out of sight etc. + being the highest paid latin actress. $$
  • -1999-2001: Focus on music and all round success (about her many #1s and commercial success in music and movies)
  • -2001-2005: this is me the + remixes +films
  • -2006-2009: balh.sdf
  • -2010-: love etc etc and movie projects.
  • Other Ventures

balahahahaa (whatever titles need to be here)

  • (and basically the rest of the page as it stands)?

what do you think? Ok i just saw your comment, ill do that in my sandbox and ill have it done soon hopefully. And btw, Do i include her early life (just the early life as it currently stands) into this? SoapJar 19:05, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, for the intro paragraph of Jen's article, i was thinking can we incorporate these facts? (As they are more of an overview of her career and the way we are merging her career together doesn't have space for any of this. here:

  • As of 2011, her wealth is estimated to be $150 million.[2]

changed info-box

[edit]

hey..just wanted to let you know i changed JLo's infobox again... My reasoning was this: The actress info-box does nothing but list her family or whatever, which isn't needed. The music box does a bit more, it says her label and genre which isn't a far big difference from the other one. 50% of the article (or more) does focus on her singing career. :\ please don't change it back, hope you know where I'm coming from; plus its been that way a long time... :) Good luck with your school! x SoapJar 10:20, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2012 January newsletter

[edit]

WikiCup 2012 is off to a flying start. At the time of writing, we have 112 contestants; comparable to last year, but slightly fewer than 2010. Signups will remain open for another week, after which time they will be closed for this year. Our currrent far-away leader is Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions), due mostly to his work on a slew of good articles about The X-Files; there remain many such articles waiting to be reviewed at good article candidates. Second place is currently held by Minnesota Ruby2010 (submissions), whose points come mostly from good articles about television episodes, although good article reviews, did you knows and an article about a baroness round out the score. In third place is Mauritius Jivesh boodhun (submissions), who has scored 200 points for his work on a single featured article, as well as points for work on others, mostly in the area of pop music. In all, nine users have 100 or more points. However, at the other end of the scale, there are still dozens of participants who are yet to score. Please remember to update your submission pages promptly!

The 64 highest scoring participants will advance to round 2 in a month's time. There, they will be split into eight random groups of eight. The score needed to reach the next round is not at all clear; last year, 8 points guaranteed a place. The year before, 20.

A few participants and their work warrant a mention for achieving "firsts" in this competition.

  • Florida 12george1 (submissions) was the first to score, with his good article review of Illinois v. McArthur.
  • Florida 12george1 (submissions) was also the first to score points for an article, thanks to his work on Hurricane Debby (1982)- now a good article. Tropical storms have featured heavily in the Cup, and good articles currently have a relatively fast turnaround time for reviews.
  • Russia Sp33dyphil (submissions) was the first to score points for a did you know, with Russian submarine K-114 Tula. Military history is another subject which has seen a lot of Cup activity.
  • Russia Sp33dyphil (submissions) is also the first person to successfully claim bonus points. Terminator 2: Judgment Day is now a good article, and was eligible for bonus points because the subject was covered on more than 20 other Wikipedias at the start of the competition. It is fantastic to see bonus points being claimed so early!
  • Byzantine Empire Speciate (submissions) was the first to score points for an In the News entry, with Paedophryne amauensis. The lead image from the article was also used on the main page for a time, and it's certainly eye-catching!
  • Mauritius Jivesh boodhun (submissions) was the first to score points for a featured article, and is, at the moment, the only competitor to claim for one. The article, "Halo" (Beyoncé Knowles song), was also worth double points because of its wide coverage. While this is an article that Jivesh and others have worked on for some time, it is undeniable that he has put considerable work into it this year, pushing it over the edge.

We are yet to see any featured lists, featured topics or good topics, but this is unsurprising; firstly, the nomination processes with each of these can take some time, and, secondly, it can take a considerable amount of time to work content to this level. In a similar vein, we have seen only one featured article. The requirement that content must have been worked on this year to be eligible means that we did not expect to see these at the start of the competition. No points have been claimed for featured portals or pictures, but these are not content types which are often claimed; the former has never made a big impact on the WikiCup, while the latter has not done so since 2009's competition.

A quick rules clarification before the regular notices: If you are concerned that another user is claiming points inappropriately, please contact a judge to take a look at the article. Competitors policing one another can create a bad atmosphere, and may lead to inconsistencies and mistakes. Rest assured that we, the judges, are making an effort to check submissions, but it is possible that we will miss something. On a loosely related note: If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Blanking

[edit]

Can you explain why you blanked sourced content on Talk That Talk (song)? Toddst1 (talk) 21:02, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you refer to the editor you reverted as "a random IP". It appears to be disrespectful and a second data point indicating a problem which is why I asked you why you removed that user's content without even the benefit of an edit summary. The editor is not being disruptive and you should avoid reversions without explanation. If you choose to reply, please do it here, not my talk page. Toddst1 (talk) 21:13, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Seeing as how the user's talk page is full of warnings, I'd say that would be a fare statement. I never said the user was being disruptive, I just reverted it for not complying with the manual of style. Last time I checked, that wasn't a disrespect. — Status {talkcontribs 21:46, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Well i was wondering if you could upload the pics..like you said yesterday..if its not a hassle :). Also, i want to make a "In the media" section on Jen's main page. I feel that the fashion thing and the public image is too weak a subject to be included on another page, and its not that long either; however i think the personal life page is going good, and should be moved to Personal life of Jennifer Lopez and scrap the public image thing. I was also thinking of making a "Legacy" (about her milestones, influences on other people, her acknowledgement like the Walk on Hollywood etc and her Legacy within the Spanish community) even though there isn't a lot to write.

awards nominations page

[edit]

Hey, i suggest (if you're up to it) we work on her Awards and Nominations page (J.Lo). It's in a bad shape and we need to source everything and make it as reliable as possible. Hey; what do you think about Legacy & Public image? I worked a bit on that :D It was hard to find stuff for legacy considering she isn't a HUGE legend but i added what i could about her influence over Spanish and blahblahblah lol :D i was also thinking of adding an "In The Media" section about her rankings etc but im not sure. I think her page is on the path. Also hope you're not mad at me...noticed you didn't respond to one of my inquiries the other day :\ JLo is really my main focus on wiki...if im being a hog with the article please tell me, i can return to editing soaps lol. Also, because the 2010-present section is kinda long, can we make a 2010-11: Love? American Idol and comeback / then - 2011-present: Return to film and greatest hits album. What do you think?

Why do you list recording artist last as her profession (please answer). I feel it should be listed second. She is getting a star on the walk just for singing .... i think its second behind (if not equal) to acting. SoapJar 01:04, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: MDNA

[edit]

The only issue I have with your suggestion is that Madonna's website/Facebook/etc. never confirmed that the 15 tracks originally posted were all for the standard edition - just that those were 15 of the songs that were appearing on the album in some form. The URL for the standard edition art may have 15 instead of 12 in the URL, but typically posts like that won't edit the URL if there are edits made unless a change is deliberately made to the URL itself.

[edit]

Look at my talk page! OMG! I swear I don't get on here much and I get threatened yet again! [1] Does that look reliable to you? I've never seen it used on here and I noticed the music video on it is uploaded by a fan on Youtube. So it's very questionable to me and I keep trying to point it out when I revert it and now I'm getting this

Your recent editing history shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block. If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly. 198.102.153.2 (talk) 17:47, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 February newsletter

[edit]

Round 1 is already over! The 64 highest scorers have progressed to round 2. Our highest scorer was Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions), again thanks mostly to a swathe of good articles on The X-Files. In second place was United Kingdom Tigerboy1966 (submissions), thanks an impressive list of did you knows about racehorses. Both scored over 400 points. Following behind with over 300 points were Minnesota Ruby2010 (submissions), Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions), Wisconsin Miyagawa (submissions) and Scotland Casliber (submissions). February also saw the competition's first featured list: List of colleges and universities in North Dakota, from Minnesota Ruby2010 (submissions). At the other end of the scale, 11 points was enough to secure a place in this round, and some contestants with 10 points made it into the round on a tiebreaker. This is higher than the 8 points that were needed last year, but lower than the 20 points required the year before. The number of points required to progress to round 3 will be significantly higher.

The remaining contestants have been split into 8 pools of 8, named A through H. Round two will finish in two months time on 28 April, when the two highest scorers in each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers, will progress to round 3. The pools were entirely random, so while some pools may end up being more competitive than others, this is by chance rather than design.

The judges would like to point out two quick rules reminders. First, any content promoted during the interim period (that is, on or after 27 February) is eligible for points in round 2. Second, any content worked on significantly this year is eligible for points if promoted in this round. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which would otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Deletion

[edit]

It was written in a highly promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Although you went to some trouble to provide references, such essentially spammy claims cannot be sourced to dubiously neutral sites. You need to provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Even then, you would need to write an encyclopaedia article rather than would could well have passed for a publicity release.

It's a good thing to have articles on this sort of topic, which is poorly represented, but for a commercial product you need to take great care with neutrality and sourcing Jimfbleak - talk to me? 17:14, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did not see this guideline (Caps related)

[edit]

There is a guideline at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization) which states in an article about foreign-language names: "If the article is about a work in a foreign language (such as a book or other written work, movie, album, or song), using the capitalization found in most English language reliable sources is recommended". I don't know how I or how the consensus to use WP:ALBUMCAPS overlooked this part. I really apologized if I have caused any inconviences. Erick (talk) 07:34, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Right and it makes no sense to ignore what reliable sources like Allmusic & Billboard track listing. Even Encyclopedia Britannica doesn't follow native customs to foreign-language names. At the least, I'm glad we got that out of the way. :) Erick (talk) 07:52, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Plausible redirect

[edit]

I am generally in favour of deleting implausible redirects but when I saw your speedy tag on Como Ama una Mujer, I was shocked. By all means tag it for deletion but do not do so until you have fixed all the incoming links from the (article) namespace. Also, please do not re-instate {{User talk:Status/Header}} on this page until you have fixed the page widening that it causes. If I am viewing this page in a window 1024 pixels wide, why should I have to use horizontal scrolling? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:02, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, i know it doesn't have anything to do with J.Lo the singer...but her Videography page is for her VIDEOS, doesn't that include videos she has appeared in even though she isn't a vocalist in the song?

List of The Simpsons video games

[edit]

Nice work, glad somebody finally did something with the page. Few questions: shouldn't The Simpsons Bowling be mentioned somewhere on the list? And I think you should change the image for something more related to the games themselves, as currently it just looks like decoration. Gran2 10:13, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well there arn't really many free-use images that would relevant, so if you are going to use a fair-use image I'd suggest the box art of the highest selling game, with I'm guessing is either Hit and Run or the Simpsons Game. Gran2 10:26, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah to be honest it probably wouldn't. I think it would be safer to run without an image and then see if anybody has a suggestion at the FLC. Gran2 10:30, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zach. I hope you know that the US is the only country that counts airplay and streaming while compiling its chart. In other words, only a radio release in the US is valid unless a certain remix of the song concerned is sent to radios. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 10:21, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2012 March newsletter

[edit]

We are over half way through the second round of this year's WikiCup and things are going well! Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions), of Pool B, is our highest overall scorer thanks to his prolific writings on television and film. In second place is Pool H's Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions), thanks primarily to work on biological articles, especially in marine biology and herpetology. Third place goes to Pool E's Scotland Casliber (submissions), who also writes primarily on biology (including ornithology and botany) and has already submitted two featured articles this round. Of the 63 contestants remaining, 15 (just under a quarter) have over 100 points this round. However, 25 are yet to score. Please remember to update your submission pages promptly. 32 contestants, the top two from each pool and the 16 next-highest scorers, will advance to round 3.

Congratulations to Vanuatu Matthewedwards (submissions), whose impressive File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg became the competition's first featured picture. Also, congratulations to Florida 12george1 (submissions), who claimed good topic points, our first contestant this year to do so, for his work on Wikipedia:Featured topics/1982 Atlantic hurricane season. This leaves featured topics and featured portals as the only sources of points not yet utilised. However, as recent statistics from Wisconsin Miyagawa (submissions) show, no source has yet been utilised this competition to the same extent it has been previously!

It has been observed that the backlogs at good article candidates are building up again. While the points for good article reviews will be remaining constant, any help that can be offered keeping the backlog down would be appreciated. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

I wish I hadn't even asked. Aaron • You Da One 12:55, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Her album articles aren't in very bad shape at all. It shouldn't be hard to take some info from there about the music, themes, etc of her albums and put it in the lead. Right now it's blah. I know how leads can be. They're a bitch. It takes FOREVER to perfect it. Reason why I still haven't nominated JLo's songs article. — Status (talk) 12:58, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have used the info from her album articles, but that wasn't really what I was getting at. Aaron • You Da One 13:00, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If you don't want to do my suggestion, you don't have it; it's just that - a suggestion. I just think it would be a much more accurate portrayal of her recordings. I'm not saying you can't include those random facts, but if it's random fact after random fact, it doesn't add much. — Status (talk) 13:04, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's not really any different to List of songs recorded by Rihanna, which I promoted to FL. Leona's follows the exact same structure. Aaron • You Da One 13:06, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, yeah, it kind of is. You worked longer at it, so in result it has a better flow. Just work at it. I'm sure there's more you can add. Talk about how most (if not all) of her songs are ballads, etc. — Status (talk) 13:12, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Leona's is shorter as she has two released studio albums, Rihanna has six. Aaron • You Da One 13:17, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it will definitely take some work. I'm not sure on how a list of characters would go over, but you should probably look for some examples, since all articles are required to have a good lead. But I'm sure that wouldn't be too hard to do, to basically summarize all the characters. Gotcha. — Statυs (talk) 14:10, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of Carey on a song by Lopez

[edit]

Are you even going to explain why a picture of Mariah Carey is placed prominently on a song by Jennifer Lopez? Or does the reader have to work that out? Currently this article shows more of Carey, who had absolutely nothing to do with it, than Lopez. Can you also explain why we even need this picture? Why L.A. Reid and not Pitbull, or Redone, or Casper Smart, or even Ryan Seacrest? Reid is just a suit, no-one cares what he looks like, especially not with Carey. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 14:07, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, that L.A. picture is the only one that is uploaded on Wikipedia; it is used on his own article. Mariah has nothing to do with it. It says specifically in the caption: "(right)", meaning he is the one on the right. The background info is—or will be when completely expanded—mostly focused on the whole L.A. signs J.Lo to Island then leaves 6 months later to join her former label, in which she then rejoins. It is an important part of the song's background. There are no available pictures of RedOne or Casper on Wikipedia; and more than one more picture can be placed in the article, for Pitbull. Cheers, — Statυs (talk) 14:16, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
How about cropping it? Right now I imagine most people's reaction on viewing the page is "What's Carey doing there? I thought J.Lo sang this?" Right now she is the elephant in the room that the article doesn't even mention. I don't feel my understanding of the article subject is added to by this photo, if anything it confuses it. Reid's significance to the song is not explained by having a picture of him standing next to another singer, who had nothing to do with it. I also think his significance to the song overall is being over-played. Do we know he played any part in it, or has his involvement simply changed which label it appears on? He may be playing a key role Lopez's career, that should be mentioned in Jennifer Lopez's article, but is he really that important to this particular song? --Escape Orbit (Talk) 14:33, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose you're right; he doesn't have anything exactly to do with the song itself, at least not that we know of yet. Feel free to remove it from the article. — Statυs (talk) 14:37, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well do you think it could be transfered to Jennifer Lopez? There's may be something notable there. Or is it too speculative at the moment? --Escape Orbit (Talk) 14:40, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the information itself relates to the background of the song (what label it would be released under); it's just not enough to warrant the image. I believe the content is already present in her main article, just not into as much detail. — Statυs (talk) 14:42, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

[edit]

Are you sure about the writing & recording part? Also, wouldn't this statement:

During an interview with Ryan Seacrest, speaking on the concept behind the song, Lopez said "I love being able to collaborate with the producer RedOne again, and working with Pitbull again. We had a great chemistry the last time, and it was like ‘We’re going to have to do something again.’ And this was the perfect song. I love the message of the song. That when something bad happens, your life is not over. You have to get up. You’re gonna live. You’re gonna to be okay. You’re gonna dance again.”

be under writing & recording? Or is that more of a concept[tion] (Background) thing? Hm...Also, i want to write a small recap of the video, do i need a source for that? :) Hope u are online.. −Arrekea♥(Talk) 08:25, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Background and conception aren't really the same. Background is the information about what happened before the song was formed. Yes, it would. When the CD single/album comes out, we can get who recorded it and when, etc. to add to the section as well. LOL IKR about the copying. "Waiting for Tonight" anybody? — Statυs (talk) 18:05, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm well okay, but i don't think we need the recording/writing section just yet... yesss lol those Beyonce & Rihanna fans need to get a life. They think she is copying UMbrella..um wth? LOL −Arrekea♥(Talk) 00:32, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How do you add Pictures?

[edit]

I'm sorry if I'm wasting your time, but, how do you add pictures? I'm the guy that gave you the brownie for fixing the Gaga template. There are some pictures that need fixing and i need to know how. Thanks! Plmnji (talk) 23:09, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Sorry for the late response. I've been busy with Easter weekend and all. Add pictures to what? — Statυs (talk) 02:53, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What i mean, is how do you add pictures from another site on to a site that has never had pictures before? I couldn't find it on the help pages. Oh, and no need for the sorry, It's a busy week for me, too! Plmnji (talk) 02:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not exactly sure what you mean. You want to upload a photo onto Wikipedia for use in a article? — Statυs (talk) 03:00, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, and how do you upload it from another site? And if you still don't get it, we can just set it aside for tomorrow. Thank you! Plmnji (talk) 03:05, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What kind of image are you looking to upload? (Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard is where you go to upload it.) — Statυs (talk) 03:06, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I always upload my pictures from Google Images. Does this have any significance? Plmnji (talk) 03:13, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It must be cited accordingly. And if it's of a celebrity, you have to make sure you know who the photographer was, and if s/he allows the image to be used. — Statυs (talk) 03:14, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Accolades

[edit]

Hi. I'm not sure about this "accolades" thing.. if see you go here an accolade is only something that she has won, and nominations don't count as accolades. It doesn't really matter if its shorter. Sorry, i'm not a bit..hm i don't agree with the title. Notice e.g. here Janet (album) when they list accolades, they only list the awards won. Please get back to me. I just wanna make the meaning of the word clear :) As in her being named "world's most beautiful women" in a accolade (honor) but Grammy nomination isn't because she didn't win anything.. And rankings are accolades. Get back to me.. −Arrekea♥(Talk) 07:07, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See Category:Lists of accolades by film and List of accolades received by David Lynch; most of which are FL. An accolade is, by definition:
A. An expression of approval; praise.
b. A special acknowledgment; an award.
Which applies to both an award (special acknowledgment) and a nomination (expression of approval). — Statυs (talk) 10:41, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Dude, by the way, "Follow the Leader" is now out. And we don't have the page ready. — Statυs (talk) 11:07, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
ahhh okay thanks :) I get it now. Hey, if you do this "film awards/music awards" where do we put the rest?!! AH.... Also i know its not good quality but can we use the pic from 2008? Its either the 1 from 2004/2009 always :\ Anyway, imma count up all of acting/singing awards individually, add that in, but for total awards, can i just do an overall thingy? :-) −Arrekea♥(Talk) 13:28, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
^Ignore my top comment, i see what you mean...by Title do you mean Grammy for music/MTV Movie Award (just these two as examples)?? Sort of like that. Okay :) Imma do that now. Tbh i don't really care about Follow the Leader..ask me if you want anything for the page, but otherwise i won't work on that out of want lol. −Arrekea♥(Talk) 13:34, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
actually forget this LOL im such a flop at tryna add stuff into this new table for the awards page 0_0. You can do that... btw what do you think of the DA music clip synopsis? It was SO HARD to add things because there is just too damn much happening in the video so i didn't know what to put where. −Arrekea♥(Talk) 13:46, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
LOL, yes. I was going to tell you about the infobox thing, but I was doing it as I was getting ready for school, so I didn't have time. Let me focus on that. Right now it's lunch break and I'm home for lunch. If you can, can you separate the film and music awards again? Have "film awards" and "music awards" as the second headings, and the award shows as third headings? Also, about the infobox, I did it like that (just in case you were wondering) because I noticed there are two separate infoboxes for musicians and actors. Seeing as how Jenny is both, we need to show both. It will be more work, of course, but it looks better. And we can have the correct title. Yeah, it looks good. LOL, IKR? So much going on. We'll get it eventually. — Statυs (talk) 15:08, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well hm i just found out synopsis for video clips don't need to be sourced. Damn my life and all the time i waste lmfao. Some ppl are really getting me mad, they are saying DA is going for a #45 debut/peak on the Hot 100, like WTF?! -.- true Jenny is just an exception for everything haha, she needs her own info-box for her main page, maybe a different color other then yellow/clear because she is both equally urgh. I think she has wayyy more music awards then film stuff. Okay. DA could go #1 on the Hot 100 at the start of May; she is going on Ellen, singing on Idol, and performing on heaps of shows! ;-) −Arrekea♥(Talk) 15:38, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
btw i hope you actually are gonna help me find more awards :\ im positively certain she has more then 200+ we just need to work really hard to find them ;) −Arrekea♥(Talk) 04:35, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

LOL calm down hehe ;) I'm not actually going to make this into a page if thats what you were thinking, not after what happened to that List of Endorsements page you made. I was just bored and saw the Britney Spears products page so i wanted to see if i could make something like that for Jen but not a complete mess...lmaoo its my sandbox only, i'm allowed to do anything :\\... Anyway i'm gonna continue to work with it to see where it gets me. −Arrekea♥(Talk) 02:06, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

LOL. I'm just saying. That page should be deleted, anyways (The Britney one). It's repetitive too. — Statυs (talk) 02:08, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes but its just in my sandbox. I was also thinking of starting a sandbox for a page called Jennifer Lopez Business Ventures or sth similar to that—about Fashion lines, Nuyorican Products & Endorsements, and expand all of those subjects alot, and go in depth like it isn't done in her main page; then maybe if your okay with that being a page, i can just sum everything up in her life & career section, then once that is done, we can just re-title the heading to Biography...do you feel me? Or not...sort of how they make pages for ppl who are Gay Icons like Janet; but just about business. haha/ What do you think of 118k? −Arrekea♥(Talk) 02:19, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm... I don't know. I think it works much better as a stand-alone in the article. If it's all together; nobody can keep it straight. What do you mean by 118k? — Statυs (talk) 02:44, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, i'm gonna do that in a sandbox (don't worry i won't publish anything). 118,000;what DA sold in first week...was it better or worse then you thought it would do?:( No top ten. −Arrekea♥(Talk) 03:11, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Damn, 27 in the US; 13 in Canada. They shouldn't have released the video so soon. — Statυs (talk) 10:37, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yea im a bit disappointed, but hey, the most crucial week of sales (Idol finale, she'll also be on Ellen that week and i THINK DWTS) is at the beginning of May. It peaked similarly to Do It Well :( I hope it moves up next week. Its steady on iTunes. I hope it gets SOME Top 10 positions worldwide -.- Btw whats w/ that sandbox/person/one love thing LMAO ? −Arrekea♥(Talk) 12:24, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
On the bright side, 1 week and it's already got a higher peak then Run The World (Girls) and Beyonce promoted that song like a fever and Jen has done...basically nothing lol. 13:08, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
Don't worry. I am pretty sure that the song will hit the Top 5 in the US. Since I am a Rihanna fan I can tell you some examples, "What's My Name? debuted at number 83, and after three weeks hit #1 :) ... "Only Girl (In the World)" was released even before "What's My Name?" but reached the top spot after it. — Tomica (talk) 13:19, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Deliberately removed sourced material in favor of unsourced material, multiple times does constitute as disruptive editing, per Wikipedia policy. If the template chooses to use the word "vandalize", that is up to the decision of the policymakers on Wikipedia, take grievances up with them. The user has been warned three times for the same actions and I am acting accordingly. You may want to take the time to research certain situations before you abruptly interject your "opinion". Itsbydesign (talk) 02:59, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You could have simply left the user a simple message on their page. I get that you're upset with the user's disruptive edits (believe me, I've had disputes with him in the past), but what he's doing really isn't vandalism. {{Uw-nor1}} could work perfectly fine in this case, and if he passes four levels you can report him for it. All I'm saying is that what he was doing wasn't to purposely vandalism Wikipedia. — Statυs (talk) 03:06, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This has nothing to do with original research. The problem is the user is taking information that is properly sourced and replacing it information from vague or non-reliable sources. Once or twice is understandable but reverting edits due to lack of knowledge is not original research multiple times, is disruptive editing. As Wikipedia states, "Disruptive editing is a pattern of editing that may extend over a long time or many articles, and disrupts progress towards improving an article or building the encyclopedia. Disruptive editing is not usually considered vandalism, but vandalism can be disruptive". Thus, I used the appropriate template. If you have an issue with how it is worded, you can discuss the matter [4]. Itsbydesign (talk) 04:18, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"Disruptive editing is not always intentional. An editor may be accidentally disruptive because they don't understand how to correctly edit." I say that would apply here. I have no issue with the template; I have an issue with your use of it, as I've already told you. — Statυs (talk) 04:25, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi...

[edit]

Hey, thanks for your comment here. I'm sorry for our conflict in the past :) By the way, what do you think about this? I notice that the song is played on radios all over Britain. I think it must be a promotional single there (radio-only release). Do we need to change the infobox of "Masterpiece"? Bluesatellite (talk) 11:43, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem at all! Do you have a source for said image? Looks like it's an official single to me. It charted the week of its radio release in the UK. Denoting a single release. — Statυs (talk) 02:09, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I got that image from forums, maybe it's like a press release from the label. I think the song is hardly an official single. It's not qualified to be a "single", as there's no commercial release (separate digital download/CD single). British people can only download it from MDNA tracklist. Interscope and Madonna's management also seems unclear whether it is a single. Bluesatellite (talk) 10:55, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

removal of sales update on Love?

[edit]

Hey...why would you remove that on her discography page? When DA was released, Billboard reported that it had sold 316k and i updated it to 318 as Billboard reported a few days ago. If that source isn't reliable then neither is the one that says it sold 316k. −Arrekea♥(Talk) 01:31, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's under WP:BADCHART. Not really, it gives a number, but not what it means. The idea was born in Jenny's discography, and then moved onto to be a standard for all discographies. — Statυs (talk) 02:09, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2012 April newsletter

[edit]

Round 2 of this year's WikiCup is over, and so we are down to our final 32, in what could be called our quarter-finals. The two highest scorers from each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers overall, have entered round 3, while 30 participants have been eliminated. Pool B's Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions) remains our top scorer with over 700 points; he continues to gain high numbers of points for his good articles on The X-Files, but also Millennium and other subjects. He has also gained points for a good topic, a featured list, multiple good article reviews and several did you knows. Pool E's Scotland Casliber (submissions) was second, thanks primarily to his biology articles, with Pool H's New York City Muboshgu (submissions) coming in third, with an impressive 46 did you knows, mostly on the subject of baseball. Casliber and Cwmhiraeth both scored over 600 points. Pools E and H proved our most successful, with each seeing 5 members qualify for round 3, while Pools C and D were the least, with each seeing only 3 reach round 3. However, it was Pool G which saw the lowest scoring, with a little under 400 points combined; Pool H, the highest scoring group, saw over triple that score.

65 points was the lowest qualifying score for round 3; significantly higher than the 11 required to enter round 2, and also higher than the 41 required to reach round 3 last year. However, in 2010, 100 points were needed to secure a place in round 3. 16 will progress to round 4. In round 3, 150 points was the 16th highest score, though, statistically, people tend to up their game a little in later rounds. Last year, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 points were needed. Guessing how many points will be required is not easy. We still have not seen any featured portals or topics this year, but, on the subject of less common content types, a small correction needs to be made to the previous newsletter: File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg, our first featured picture, was the work of both Vanuatu Matthewedwards (submissions) and United Kingdom Grandiose (submissions), the latter of whom has also gone on to score with File:Map of the Battle of Guam, 1944.svg. Bonus points also continue to roll in; this round, England Ealdgyth (submissions) earned triple points for her good articles on William the Conqueror and the Middle Ages, Casliber and Cwmhiraeth both earned triple points for their work on Western Jackdaw, now a good article, Michigan Dana Boomer (submissions) earned triple points for her work on lettuce and work by Bavaria Stone (submissions) to ready antimony for good article status earned him triple points. United Kingdom Jarry1250 (submissions) managed to expand Vitus Bering far enough for a did you know, which was also worth triple points. All of these highly important topics featured on 50 or more Wikipedias at the start of the year.

An article on the WikiCup in the Wikimedia Blog, "Improving Wikipedia with friendly competition", was posted at the end of April. This may be of interest to those who are signed up to this newsletter, as well as serving as another way to draw attention to our project. Also, we would again like to thank United Kingdom Jarry1250 (submissions) and Bavaria Stone (submissions), for continued help behind the scenes. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Peers needed to peer review the article (here) on this peerless actor

A mid-importance article supported by WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers that was reviewed by Version 1.0 Editorial Team and selected for Version 0.7 and subsequent release versions. The article has come a long way from a fan boy mish mash to a fair enough GA. Now is the time to take it to the next level. Currently it's going through another peer review. Please, lend a hand.

RE: Hey buddy

[edit]

I actually formed a task force for Latin music two years ago which can be found here, but thanks for asking. I'm looking forward to our collaboration on "No Me Ames". :) Erick (talk) 03:56, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, haha. Thanks for letting me know. Dang, it's pretty big. Do you think J.Lo should be also included there? I have a bit of time right now to start working on it. Her Spanish song articles are really lacking information. — Statυs (talk) 03:58, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I thought it about several times, but I'm not sure. I mean, is J-Lo's music generally considered Latin music by most sources? That's the only thing that has me concerned, but I have no objections whatsoever if you feel she should be included in the Latin music task force. As for me, I'm not really into J-Lo, but I can definitely help out in the Spanish-language albums/songs especially for Spanish sources. I saw J Lo in a concert during her tour with Marc Anthony in 2007 and I have a picture somewhere of them performing "No Me Ames". I know another user who might be of help. His name is Jaespinoza and he's a good friend of mine so I can ask him out to help. Erick (talk) 04:08, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's surely noted for it's Latin influences, mostly recently "On the Floor". Her first two albums contain Latin re-recordings of English songs, and she's released a whole Latin album. I see Christina is included, and she's only done one Latin album. You should upload it! There are barely any pictures of J.Lo on Wikipedia. I may get to see her on tour this summer, so I'm gonna try to get some pics. :P — Statυs (talk) 04:15, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well that's enough to convince me to include her on the Latin music task force. :P I don't exactly know where I have pictures of her and Marc it's been a long time, but I will look for them tomorrow. In the meantime, one of us can start the article on a sandbox. Erick (talk) 04:26, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, and Javier told he would like to help out on the article as well. I'll use the sandbox talk page for discussions of the article. Erick (talk) 04:44, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
YOU NEED to upload that picture of JLo and Marc singing No Me Ames!!!!! Right away. XD Btw if any of you need any help with any aspect of the article, im here;-) −SoapJar 10:30, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've covered everything about the song, so the only thing you just have to do is finish off the lead and that's pretty much it. Erick (talk) 19:18, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can I ask you how you came across the article Hip pop? Thanks in advance, Arcandam (talk) 03:52, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Am I not allowed to remove my own comment? No one has replied to it, right? It was a mistake, I overlooked the fact the answer to my question was 2 centimeters away. Arcandam (talk) 04:44, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weird. Why don't you believe that? My browser starts at the top of every newly loaded webpage, not the bottom. What would I have to gain from asking a question I know the answer to? Arcandam (talk) 04:50, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Quite shocking, actually. Because nobody in their right mind would ask someone how they came across an article. Especially since Wikipedia has a category for AfD debates, in which it is included in. I could have come across the article all on my own, or tracked it down for commenting on AfD debates. — Statυs (talk) 04:54, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hehe. Aha, nah, of course I knew in advance that it was very very very likely he was canvassing, check the bottom of my talkpage. I even asked him: "Did you read WP:CANVASS?". Still he tried to canvass... strange. Arcandam (talk) 04:56, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
From the looks of it, they were all appropriate notifications. There weren't that many posts and the messages were neutral, although the audience may be questionable. I don't see much of a problem from it. The only real flaw I'm seeing is him asking editors who don't even edit anymore to comment. — Statυs (talk) 05:03, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, those are the ones who may have voted keep. The audience was not questionable, it consists of inactive users who may disagree and people he knows and likes. Arcandam (talk) 05:04, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The audience questionable in that exact sense you speak of. — Statυs (talk) 05:06, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
True, sorry, I was unclear. What I mean is that a "questionable audience" sounds like a big understatement to me. To me it is very clear he is canvassing. I've seen this type of stuff happening before many times. Arcandam (talk) 05:11, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

LeAnn Rimes discography - Need opinion

[edit]

I am considering rolling back my recent edit on it as a dispute on the 1998 re-entry of "Put a Little Holiday in Your Heart" seems debatable to me as the re-entry is actually 20 hits lower then it's 1997, it dropped from 51 to 71. So I am of course comparing it to "Sparks Fly" where it re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 but it did not peak as high as a single as it did in 2010 when it was not released but I just wanted your opinion should both entries be posted or just one?

WikiCup 2012 May newsletter

[edit]

We're halfway through round 3 (or the quarter finals, if you prefer) and things are running smoothly. We're seeing very high scoring; as of the time of writing, the top 16 all have over 90 points. This has already proved to be more competative than this time last year- in 2011, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 was the lowest qualifying score. People have also upped their game slightly from last round, which is to be expected as we approach the end of the competition. Leading Pool A is Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions), whose points have mostly come from a large number of did you knows on marine biology. Pool B's leader, Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions), is for the first time not our highest scorer at the time of newsletter publication, but his good articles on The X-Files and Millenium keep him in second place overall. Wisconsin Miyagawa (submissions) leads Pool C, our quietest pool, with content in a variety of areas on a variety of topics. Pool D is led by Scotland Casliber (submissions), our current overall leader. Nearly half of Casliber's points come from his triple-scored Western Jackdaw, which is now a featured article.

This round has seen an unusually high number of featured lists, with nearly one in five remaining participants claiming one, and one user, New York City Muboshgu (submissions), claiming two. Miyagawa's featured list, 1936 Summer Olympics medal table, was even awarded double points. By comparison, good article reviews seem to be playing a smaller part, and featured topics portals remain two content-types still unutilised in this competition. Other than that, there isn't much to say! Things are coming along smoothly. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

"Sparks Fly"

[edit]

What more needs to be done with that bud? I want me and you to get it GA'd within this next month. Swifty*talk 23:46, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A copyedit and maybe an expansion here and there where it can be done. Alright Ricky. — Statustalk 23:57, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

LOL! Okay. Smart alack LOL! Swifty*talk 00:03, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for 3 CD Collector's Set (Rihanna album)

[edit]

Thank you very much! — Statυs (talk) 00:17, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Sparks Fly" - Continued

[edit]

Hey I am looking to expand the live performance section, any suggestions where to look? Swifty*talk 00:18, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look in a few. Currently finishing up a lead before dominating for DYK and GA. Sorry for archiving your thread, but new month. ;) Happy June! — Statυs (talk) 00:19, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

LOL! It's okay bud. Oh what's wrong with the lead. By the way, need a proof read on what I wrote recently in the Live performance section. I wrote: "In his review of the live ablum, Matt Bjorke of Roughstock considered the performance one of five "standout live performances"" Need that re-written. Happy June to you too. LOL! Swifty*talk 00:27, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In his review of Speak Now World Tour Live, Matt Bjorke of Roughstock cited Swift's perforation of "Sparks Fly" a standout during the concert. — Statυs (talk) 00:29, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Zach! Doing some work on the lead. I noticed that it is missing the release as a single. Where did that go? Swifty*talk 00:31, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Should the music video and the live performance section be put together? Like "Fearless"? Swifty*talk 22:09, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I missed your comments. Someone probably removed it. And yeah, it's just a live music video. — Statυs (talk) 22:57, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's okay bud. I been working on "Sparks Fly" a bit and already went ahead and compressed the music video section with the live performance. Noticed you been working on it some need to figure something out. Wouldn't Music and lyrics be better as just composition? LOL! Swifty*talk 23:25, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it could work. Composition usually just refers to the music, but I guess per its definition: "the plan, placement or arrangement of the elements of art in a work". — Statυs (talk) 23:27, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
We are working on it together bud so it's whatever you think is best. Swifty*talk 23:29, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it doesn't really matter to me. I just prefer to have "music and lyrics". If you want "composition", I'm fine with that. :) — Statυs (talk) 23:30, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Why don't we just wait for a GA review and see what they say they may prefer "music and lyrics" over "composition" so I say wait until then. Moving on what else needs to be done on "Sparks Fly"? Swifty*talk 23:33, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is so weird that "Sparks Fly" did not chart anywhere else but in the US and Canada. Swifty*talk 23:44, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey I am going to look on Google Book and see if I can find a review from Billboard for the song. Swifty*talk 00:14, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Did you check the peer review there was stuff in there too. Swifty*talk 00:28, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
By the way when you can check my last edit here and make sure that looks right. It isn't an exact quote from the Google book but it is what the reviewer meant. Swifty*talk 00:36, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No Me Ames

[edit]

I believe I have everything covered and had the lead summarized. Is there anything else needed before moving the sandbox to the main article? Erick (talk) 15:44, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I actually already pasted it into the article. Moving is always a pain in the ass. I also nominated it for DYK; I was going to let you know when I did it, but I had to get to bed since it was pretty late. I said we did a really great job. :) — Statυs (talk) 20:41, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No fair, I was gonna do a DYK! D= Oh well. XD Erick (talk) 20:42, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Haha, sorry. I did another DYK last night, and I thought, "hey, why not?" Do you think it's ready for GA? You can put that in. ;) — Statυs (talk) 20:43, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
'Tis okay LOL I'll just add an alt. I say we should get the article request for a copy-edit and then co-nominate the article together. As soon as it's nominated, I'm going to also nominated Desde un Principio: From the Beginning, since it has the song. :P Erick (talk) 20:46, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good to me. Yeah, I wasn't too sure on what could be the DYK, so if you have something better, by all means. Yeah, I also have a few articles lined up for nomination, so I plan on also nominating a bunch on the same day. 7 more days of school left until summer, and then 4 days of final exams and I can finally get some real shit done! I've started so many things and haven't finished it's crazy. — Statυs (talk) 20:49, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh man, wow. I was gonna say in the alt that their cover of "No Me Ames" inspired Baldi to come out of retirement, but then I thought "Nah, what Status has is good enough". Just a heads up, I will going on a cruise next Saturday (June 9) so I won't here for about a week. Erick (talk) 20:52, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ooh, sounds like fun. Hope you have a great time! I probably won't be around for a week or so around then too. Gotta study, study, study! I was thinking of something with them sending both versions to radio in order to get a hit on both, but there isn't really a source to say they two versions for that reason. — Statυs (talk) 20:55, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I actually found a source on Billboard magazine which mentions that. It says about an audience mark combining both genre charts to reach number-one. On an unrelated note, I've been adding Latin singles charts (Mexican and Venezuelan to be exact) on English songs today. On the Floor, I added that it topped the English charts in Mexico and if you have any questions, I'll be glad to answer them. Erick (talk) 21:00, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think that would be a much better DYK, don't you? It's not if many people even heard of "No Me Ames", let alone its original version. LOL, I honestly, do not know much about the charts at all. I try to stay away from that part of song articles. — Statυs (talk) 21:02, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here it talks about audience impressions on both charts. Thanks for the quick fix on Desde un Principio btw. Cheers, Erick (talk) 21:31, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect. I'm not really sure how to word; why don't you give it a try? No problemo. Also, why is the album cover on commons? I was under the impression that's a no no. I saw the cover wasn't in very good quality, so I went to upload a new version and noticed that. — Statυs (talk) 21:35, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If an album cover contains nothing but a simple graphic (like a typographic font and that's it), it cannot be copyrighted so that's why it's on Commons. I'll give it a shot, though I don't know how to word it either. I wasn't even sure of at first if it was needed. Erick (talk) 21:43, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, alright. Thanks for clearing that up. For some reason, I never saw this message until now. — Statυs (talk) 00:15, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: The Silence

[edit]

Eamonn Holmes: One of the new tracks is The Silence, and that's gunna be the single for christmas? Alexandra Burke: It's a promotional single for the album. (1:30 minutes in). Satisfied that you are wrong now and that I am correct and have always been correct that Alexandra herself stated that is a promotional single. Aaron • You Da One 21:19, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that; she stated it to be a promotional single in August of 2010. The source you are providing for its release date is from part of the album. Things could have easily changed since then. Besides the fact, we don't always take what artists say as the whole truth, it has to be backed up. For example, Christina Aguilera and her label called Bionic her fourth album, when it is indeed her sixth. — Statυs (talk) 21:22, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That interview was in December 2010, the time she released it for promotional purpose. It's not got it's own bit on iTunes, but either way, she said it's a promo single. She performed as part of promo for the re-release of the album. Alexandra knows what she is talking about. It is her song after all. Aaron • You Da One 21:27, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't quite understand what "8.12.10" means then. Regardless, at the very least, remove the "source" you have for its release date, because its false. It can still be called a promotional single, but as I said, the "source" you have does not back up the claim that it was a promotional single. That was my main point. You should really watch your attitude with me; there is no reason to be rude to me. — Statυs (talk) 21:30, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
8 December 2010, the English way of doing dates. The sources for release dates are from Amazon on the The Silence, so no I won't remove them, as you could buy it. I'm not being rude, I'm just frustrated. I knew I was right, and you kept ignoring me and reverting me. Aaron • You Da One 21:35, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, forgot about that. I'm sorry to tell you, but you are not correct. The song was released as part of an album, singles are released apart from a parent album. — Statυs (talk) 21:37, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's still a promotional single, she confirmed it. You can only buy the re-recorded version which she sang and is on the video from the re-release. Aaron • You Da One 21:39, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Please go read through the above text. I agreed that it could be deemed as a promotional single. But it was not released on December 3, 2010 as one; that's when it was released as part of the album. An example of something sort of like this would be "Fresh Out the Oven"; it's a promo single, called as one by multiple sources, but it has no release date. — Statυs (talk) 21:41, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, but that's not it charted on digital sales. Aaron • You Da One 21:47, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If I can add two cents to this conversation... The citation that you are using is a download page for the track on the deluxe edition of Overcome. Did you notice that the single's "release date" and the album's release date are the same? | helpdןǝɥ | 21:51, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your two cents are too late. Aaron • You Da One 21:55, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Your state of mind is late as well. | helpdןǝɥ | 21:58, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You're opinion on anything I do on here is not needed just so you know, and hasn't been for a long time. Little note for you, a lot of people on here really dislike you because of your attitude. Aaron • You Da One 22:02, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Funny how all in the same comment, you said you don't care about my opinion yet adding yours as if it is more valuable than mine. I was commenting on the fact of how long it took you to realize Status' message in the discussion. I'd prefer if there were no more personal attacks, please. | helpdןǝɥ | 22:06, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Miles, Calvin; no need for the little petty comments. But Calvin, seriously? Miles is allowed to leave a comment if he ever so wishes to. And what relevance does "a lot of people on here really dislike you because of your attitude" have here? If you weren't being rude before, you sure as hell are now. — Statυs (talk) 22:07, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) No personal attacks, I'm just being honest. I think you will find that I haven't been vindictive or malicious, or called you anything. Miles, his name I did not know before, has always taken a rude stance with regard to things I do and does not assume good faith. As the saying goes, if you can't take it, then don't dish it. Aaron • You Da One 22:10, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Your version of "honesty" is still considered an attack. You don't have to use a petty name to be mean. I can promise you that very few people view my stance as "rude". And your comment, "if you can't take it, then don't dish it," very provocative, yes? | helpdןǝɥ | 22:16, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Calvin, what you said is considered to be a personal attack, as you are basically telling Miles that people on Wikipedia do not like him, which has zero relevance to this discussion. Let's just stop this right here; if you guys want to carry this on, take it elsewhere. — Statυs (talk) 22:21, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Then countless people have personally attacked me if telling someone they are disliked is considered as such. Some people may not think you have a rude stance, but several do, and whether you realise it or not, I find you very rude in your stance. This is my last comment, as this is Status' talk page. I suggest you leave it now too, Miles. Aaron • You Da One 22:25, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey can you give your input on this?

:-p What am I chopped liver? LOL! Swifty*talk 23:31, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hey; sorry bud. I've been working on a lot of things. I'm sorry, but I have to agree with how the page is now. The original was released as a single, and even won a Grammy award. LeAnn obviously made the song famous, but that doesn't change the fact that it was a single by him first. — Statυs (talk) 23:35, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

RE: When you have time

Sure, and there's other articles I can help out too. SoapJar21 asked me about working on Como Ama una Mujer so that's another possibility. There's also the soundtrack for El Cantante. Heck, I'm willing to work on other crossover articles too. Like if you know someone who likes Christina Aguilera and needs help on, oh say, Mi Reflejo, I'll help on that too. Erick (talk) 23:02, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, yeah. I've actually also started working on Como Ama una Mujer as well. Trying to hunt down some background information on it. I found a report a year prior to its release announcing its title and how with it she wants to prove she has a "voice". I wonder why it took so long to release. — Statυs (talk) 23:06, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
When you assess for the Latin music task force, add the parameter "music-importance" and assess the importance for it as well. Erick (talk) 23:42, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Status, it looks like while you say the article has been passed on the Review page and list it in your group of completed reviews on the backlog elimination drive page, you haven't actually closed out the review as a pass.

Nomination of Justin Bieber on Twitter for deletion

[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Justin Bieber on Twitter is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Justin Bieber on Twitter until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.

Informing you of this nomination because of your previous participation in the Justin Bieber on Twitter merge into Justin Bieber discussion.--LauraHale (talk) 03:03, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of people have contributed to the article to improve it. I'm personally confused as to how the topic is not notable given the over 150 sources in the article. I'm also boggled by WP:SYNTH. If we demanded 150+ sources in an article where Google News searches brought up 3000+ results and 175 sources on newsbank with Bieber + Twitter in the title, several books that mention the topic, and some academic works on it, we'd be in some trouble. As for SYNTH, lots of articles would suffer that including Barack Obama and Rwanda. If they didn't do that, they would then get accusations of copyvio for the organisation.--LauraHale (talk) 03:26, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Products & Endorsements for Jennifer Lopez

[edit]

I don't think products/endorsements should go into her main section because there is already a lot of information. Need i talk about her impact like bringing back Celeb endorsements etc? And recently she was just named #1 by UK; where does all of that go? Whatever...is there any chance of bringing it back or have you made up your mind? :\ If it was too long, it could have just been trimmed, the info that wasn't as relevant could be removed. I'm not really comparing but the Beyoncé Knowles article includes bio, artistry, legacy, philanthropy and other ventures (Which is basically products & endorsements)...and that article is a GA.. Sorry for the length of this message, i would just like you to maybe re-consider a little bit. If the article is too long i could begin to trim the legacy & artistry section?

[edit]
You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring, as you did at Wait Your Turn. This is truly remarkable on the heels of yesterday's WP:ANEW issue that you were involved in and warned about. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Toddst1 (talk) 22:33, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Are you fucking serious? I made two reverts on a page where editors were reverting me with no reason to do so. Statυs (talk) 22:37, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, exactly. You were not blocked for violating WP:3RR. Toddst1 (talk) 22:38, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, okay. So I got blocked for making one revert on a page where there were issues, and another with users revering without premise. Alright. Makes perfect sense to me. Statυs (talk) 22:40, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Another block from Toddst1? This is worrying me. —Hahc21 22:45, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to know how removing unsourced content: "The song was originally going to be released as the second single from the album; however, it was later announced that "Hard" would become the second single instead, whilst "Wait Your Turn" served as the promotional single" and having users who WP:IDONTLIKEIT (the fact that the song was released as a single) revert me, and reverting back twice as they had no premise to revert equals me being blocked. Statυs (talk) 22:47, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And as for yesterday, "Reverting to enforce certain overriding policies is not considered edit warring. For example, under the policy on biographies of living persons, where negative unsourced content is being introduced, the risk of harm is such that removal is required". That is exactly what happened yesterday. You clearly aren't aware of what happened at all. Statυs (talk) 22:49, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Completely unfair. The only thing Status did is improving the page. "Wait Your Turn" was released as a single from Rated R, even though some users made some IDONTLIKE edits on them. At least he should be warned about the 3RR, but being blocked? It's just too much... — Tomica (talk) 22:53, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Well, Status: This goes well beyond that. You're not the first one blocked recently with no strong rationale behind it. I know that only for being involved on edit warring (as I suppose you may have been) you can get yourself blocked, but these actions are really suspicious. I assume good faith on their actions (they're admins, after all), but first Calvin999 loses the right to edit his own talk page by no apparent reason and without a guideline/policy supporting the block, and which was questioned by another admin on the bloking admin talk page, and now this, another unreasonable block. —Hahc21 22:54, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For everyone screaming "unfair", I'll ask the first, obvious question: where is the source that confirms this song is a single, anyway? I'll be sympathetic if someone can show me that Status was preventing someone from replacing well-sourced information with unsourced information, but I can't look at the article and see that.—Kww(talk) 23:01, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Look at this. Bunch of sources saying that "Wait Your Turn" was and still IS available for digital download in certain territories in Europe, South America and Australia. Here is another [7] source saying that the song was scheduled for an international release. "Hard" was released only in the US. — Tomica (talk) 23:06, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Per the definition of a single: "In music, a single or record single is a type of release, typically a recording of fewer tracks than an LP record or an album. This can be released for sale to the public in a variety of different formats. In most cases, the single is a song that is released separately from an album, but it can still appear on an album." It was released separately from the album in various markets for purchase. Thus, a single. A promotional single is "an audio or video recording distributed for free". Additionally, the source used to show that "Hard" was released as a single instead of "Wait Your Turn" only mentions "Hard" being a single. Statυs (talk) 23:06, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Can you WP:QUACK? Statυs (talk) 23:13, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The correctness of the edit isn't the issue. It's that neither version was cited (as KWW pointed out) and it was a case of "what I wrote is better than what s/he wrote" - a classic edit war. Toddst1 (talk) 23:21, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Did you not read my above statement? There are sources in the article calling it a future single when it was leaked, and then sources for it being released as a single, which the definition of such is stated above. There were zero sources in the article calling it a promotional single. Statυs (talk) 23:23, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You place an enormous burden on people watching articles to do research to determine that you are right. Do you think an edit summary that included a description like "released separately from the album, see http://itunes.apple.com/au/album/wait-your-turn-single/id341080603" might go a long way to changing the outcome of a situation like this?—Kww(talk) 23:31, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The information is clearly already present in the article. I didn't feel it be necessary. Statυs (talk) 23:34, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
When two different editors revert your change, you really should stop and figure out what's going on and why you're being reverted. That's what we have talk pages for. And your behavior in this situation is why we have edit war blocks. Toddst1 (talk) 23:37, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
A simple comment from Todd stating that I should be more clear when doing the edit, so users don't feel the need to revert would have been perfectly fine. But a block? And a block that involves yesterday's conflict (which is excluded as being an edit war) would be a conflict of interest: "Administrators must not block users with whom they are engaged in a content dispute; instead, they should report the problem to other administrators. Administrators should also be aware of potential conflicts of interest involving pages or subject areas with which they are involved. It is acceptable for an administrator to block someone who has been engaging in clear-cut vandalism in that administrator's userspace." Statυs (talk) 23:37, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You missed my point. When I see an edit war going on, I make a quick analysis, and a big factor in that analysis is the explanation given by each editor. An editor that reasonably points at a policy or a source gets big brownie points when I'm trying to make my decision between "edit war" vs. "editor defending an article against vandalism". Very, very, very rarely am I going to read an entire article and see whether I think one editor is right or wrong. In fact, we aren't supposed to do that, because doing so comes very close to taking sides in a content dispute.—Kww(talk) 00:12, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What about the explanation given for reverting me in the first place? Does that not count for anything? One user claimed that the song was not released anywhere, when it is sourced in the article. The users clearly just didn't like it. I will repeat myself, a simple comment from Todd stating that I should be more clear on what I would be doing would be fine. Then, if it happens again and I do the same thing, a block would be justified. But here, it is not. I'd at least think that after I actually fully explain what happened, the issue could be resolved. But Todd clearly will have nothing of it, as he is not even replying to what I am saying about it. I could understand how it could look like at first, but after an in-dept explanation, it is clear that what I was doing what was not being disruptive to Wikipedia and a block should no longer be in place. Statυs (talk) 00:22, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That's exactly the point: based on the explanations given in the edit summaries, the two of you were equally in the wrong. If you provide me with an assurance that in the future you will always provide an explicit pointer to a source or relevant policy when reverting a second or greater time, I will undo your block now. It's not going to protect you against 3RR, though, and you should remember that I do pay attention to your edits and I have a long memory.—Kww(talk) 00:29, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I assure you that after this experience, I will make sure that my edit summaries are good enough so it doesn't cause any of this. Statυs (talk) 00:32, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The editing restriction is going in your block log, so please be explicit: "I will always provide an explicit pointer to a source or relevant policy when reverting a second or greater time".—Kww(talk) 00:39, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I will always provide a source or relevant policy when reverting a second or greater time. Statυs (talk) 00:43, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are unblocked. There didn't seem to be any autoblocks in effect.—Kww(talk) 00:54, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I was wondering how long it would take you (Status) to figure out that all you had to do was to say that the edit war was over and/or won't continue with the same behaviour. Good unblock Kww. Toddst1 (talk) 01:37, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Deseo (fragrance)

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Deseo (fragrance), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Moreover, please add more verifiable sources, not only 3rd party sources. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. SplashScreen (talk) 22:52, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh my! I totally forgot about this article. Statυs (talk) 23:00, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Can you do the same with all the other articles Splash seems to be nominating following my block? Statυs (talk) 23:04, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm on it. I just hope not to get blocked for it haha. —Hahc21 23:12, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Following this exchange, the two of you may wish to visit and contribute to this discussion. SplashScreen (talk) 00:13, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did you see my comment about how I forgot about the article? I was starting the article, and then completely forgot about it. It would not be recreated as its state and I endorse its deletion. Deleted articles are allowed to be copied into userspace to be worked on and put back in at a later date. Statυs (talk) 00:23, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yet more edit warring?

[edit]

This time on If You Had My Love and yes, you are blocked again for resuming that behavior immediately upon release of your previous block for edit warring. Toddst1 (talk) 04:11, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me? I reverted the addition of unsourced content on an article and explained to the user that they need to provide a source for such information. Statυs (talk) 04:12, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but repeat reversions of the same edit is edit warring. [8] [9]. Perhaps you should actually read WP:EW. Toddst1 (talk) 04:15, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
My two cents. You're right Toddst1, but, per BLP: "Contentious material about living persons (or recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion" and the same EW: "Reverting to enforce certain overriding policies is not considered edit warring." Also, EW says "When reverting, be sure to indicate your reasons.", which was made by Status. Regards. —Hahc21 04:23, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Editing restriction: 'I will always provide a source or relevant policy when reverting a second or greater time.'", which I did [10] Statυs (talk) 04:26, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just because the article is about a song by a living person (it's not a biography) doesn't mean you are free to edit war at will. Saying a single's genre is R&B is about as far from defamatory as you can get. You should learn a hell of a lot more about our policies if you're going to try to wikilawyer like that. Toddst1 (talk) 04:43, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just because the genre is not supported by a single source is ground enough to delete it already without further notice, and without being considered as Edit warring. —Hahc21 04:47, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And also, BLP doesn't explicitly mention "defamatory". It says any poorly sourced or unsourced content. If you've been aware of why that policy exists maybe you should understand why something as simple as a genre is controversial. Just to give you an example: Without a source, you can name a folk song as to belong to the reggae genre. —Hahc21 04:49, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Where's the edit war? I'd like to know. I explained to the user why I reverted their edit, which is required of. There's tons of causes of users putting in genres in song articles without any sources, just what they feel the song is. Statυs (talk) 04:48, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
See diffs above. Toddst1 (talk) 05:08, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry but that's not edit warring. Till I Go Home talk 05:14, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with Home. Knowing a "hell out" more of policies is not enough. You need to know why such policies exist and understand them to then, after that, properly apply your rationales based on the actions of the user. I've been here for almost 6 years, and 4 as a registered user, and I don't need to be an admin to know the policies from head to toe (which I already do since a couple of years ago), and i'm pretty sure that my grounds are perfectly supported. Cheers! —Hahc21 04:56, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • This really is quite shocking. The edit war policy states that an edit war "only arises if the situation develops into a series of back-and-forth reverts". Status reverted two separate IPs on two different days who changed the genres without explanation. How is that edit warring? Seriously? How is reverting unsourced material edit warring? I would actually care for an explanation here. He even provided edit summaries explaining the changes, saying and how there need to be reliable sources to support the claim. This is really mind-baffling. Till I Go Home talk 04:50, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You and Status were both baffled when Calvin999 got blocked for edit warring, you were baffled when you got warned about participating in a 2-on-one edit war on Heidi Montag, you were baffled when your report on WP:ANEW got shut down and you were baffled when your complaint on ANI not only got shut down, but mocked by the closing administrator. What's baffling is that after all this disruption, you (and apparently both Hahc21 and Status) haven't bothered to figure out what an edit war is. Toddst1 (talk) 05:06, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Toddst1, I'm afraid those comments were way too harsh and can fall into personal attacks against Status and Home, since you're "Using someone's affiliations as an ad hominem means of dismissing or discrediting their views." Should I take this to ANI? I'm not interested on such paperwork, but if this doesn't end and you keep pushing this way too far, I may be forced to do so. The grounds you took this time to block Status are unsupportable, per my consideration. Last time I agreed with your block, but i'm afraid I can't do it again this time. —Hahc21 05:15, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for randomly coming into this conversation (I saw a lot of edits on this page on "Special:Recent Changes" and wanted to see what was going on), but like Hahc21, Till I Go Home, and Status, I strongly disagree with this block. Like Till I Go Home and Hahc21 pointed out, Status didn't even revert edits from the same IP addresses. In fact, as Till I Go Home pointed out, he didn't even revert three times. He only reverted twice. That isn't an edit war. As Till I Go Home and Hahc21 have pointed out, he's removing unsourced information, which doesn't count as edit warring. I see no reason for Status to be blocked. He should really be unblocked. Hadger 05:38, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

People seem to be missing that Status voluntarily agreed to provide a source or policy reference whenever reverting for the second or greater time. That restriction is now in his block log. There's no doubt that without that restriction this block would be difficult to justify. With that restriction, though, it makes a lot more sense.—Kww(talk) 19:22, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Was just looking back and noticed that I forgot to link "reliable source" to Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. That would be linking to a policy, would it not be? Kind of jumping the gun, I'd say. Fastily stated it best, Wikipedia is the "home to a community that belittles and harasses its own members for the most idiotic and childish reasons". But anyways, here's the thing Kww, that's not why I was even blocked. I was blocked for: "Edit warring: Continuing EW on If You Had My Love immediately after release of block for similar reversions". That says that I was EW on If You Had My Love prior to my block, and right after I was unblocked I reverted again. Statυs (talk) 20:47, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock request

[edit]
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Status (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I was blocked for edit warring on If You Had My Love, when I didn't actually break any polices. A user added an unsourced genre to the article, and I reverted, telling them to add a reliable source if they wanted to add a genre. This is per my editing restriction: "I will always provide a source or relevant policy when reverting a second or greater time." Statυs (talk) 05:22, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Procedural decline: block has expired PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 19:31, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Note to reviewing admin(s): Under almost any other circumstance, a second revert such as Status performed would not be grounds for blocking. In this particular circumstance, performing his second almost identical revert - immediately upon early release of his previous block for edit warring under very similar circumstances is continued disruptive editing and clear evidence that this editor does not know what edit warring is, why it is considered disruptive and what the acceptable exceptions are. Toddst1 (talk) 06:09, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note to reviewing admin(s): The block pattern of Toddst1 is currently being discussed at Administrators noticeboard. Statυs (talk) 06:21, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This block disturbs me a bit, but only a little. Status, you were asked to provide a pointer to a relevant policy or source whenever performing a second or higher revert. In this case, a source that indicates the song is "pop" that doesn't support "contemporary R&B" is what I would have been looking for, not a blanket statement about "unsourced" when the version you were reverting to also didn't have an explicit source. Think you can find me an example of what I was actually looking for?—Kww(talk) 10:56, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Status shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get out of a bullshit block that should never have been issued in the first place. Joefromrandb (talk) 23:19, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at all of this, I also think it is a "bullshit block" as Joe stated. The source verifying the genre was already included in the article's lead. The change he would revert was not sourced... He was simply undoing an unsourced change. How is that edit warring? Do your research before making "bullshit [blocks]". I helpdןǝɥ I 23:54, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
@Kww, after five and a half years and 61,000 edits (and a sysop bit) I'd expect that "unsourced" would be sufficient explanation without a bureaucratic [[WP:RS]] wrapper. Nobody Ent 02:28, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock would be appropriate as explained here Nobody Ent 02:21, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@Kww: I consider that asking a user to provide a reference supporting a specific genre may create some sort of conflict of interest, since that user may find a source only providing the genre they want to be included. As you are aware of all this sourcing genre debate, the fact that I asked the user to provide a source to cover his assumptions that the song was indeed R&B is a reasonable request, because different sources says different things. Statυs (talk) 03:10, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For any admin who happens to be looking at this unblock request and wondering if its worth it now, just because there is only a half and hour left of my block does not mean that it is no longer relevant or stands. It is ridiculous that no one has reviewed my unblock request (accept or deny). This was an unjust block, as many users have stated on this page. Statυs (talk) 03:32, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's pretty ridiculous that no one reviewed it. Status, my rollback rights got removed earlier today, and suddenly I don't want to be a part of the Wikipedia community anymore :( Till I Go Home talk 03:57, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it is. I am aware of that. See below. Statυs (talk) 04:01, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Home: Well overcome this situation. Call me wikilawyer, call me wikifriend, i'm against losing incredible users for such things like this. Bad things happens; but as I say, every bad thing carries many good things to come. Just be patient. —Hahc21 04:06, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2012 June newsletter

[edit]

Apologies for the lateness of this letter; our usual bot wasn't working. We are now entering round 4, our semi-finals, and have our final 16. A score of 243 was required to reach this round; significantly more than 2011's 76 points, and only a little behind 2010's 250 points. By comparison, last year, 150 points in round 4 secured a place in the final; in 2010, 430 were needed. Commiserations to Pool A's Minas Gerais igordebraga (submissions), who scored 242 points, missing out on a place in the round by a whisker. However, congratulations to Pool B's Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions), whose television articles have brought him another round victory. Pool A's Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) came second overall, with an impressive list of biological did you knows, good articles and featured articles. Third overall was Pool D's New York City Muboshgu (submissions), with a long list of contibutions, mostly relating to baseball. Of course, with the points resetting every round, the playing field has been levelled. The most successful Pool was Pool D, which saw seven into the final round. Pool B saw four, C saw three and Pool A saw only the two round leaders.

A quick note about other competitions taking place on Wikipedia which may be of interest. There are 13 days remaining in the June-July GAN backlog elimination drive, but it is not too late to take part. August will also see the return of The Core Contest- a one month long competition first run in 2007. While the WikiCup awards points for audited content on any subject, The Core Contest about is raw article improvement, focussing heavily on the most important articles on Wikipedia. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

Notice

[edit]

In light of recent events, I find this something I must do. I have always been aware that I am not irreplaceable, and have always shown pride in the fact that I have been an upstanding editor who has made good contributions to the project. After two blocks, although unjustified, I can no longer say that is true. I feel beaten down, to say the least. I had originally added the {{retired}} template to this talk page, but then I remembered all the projects that I had started and had not completed. Once my block expires, I will finish up the remaining projects I have under development and take a leave of absence from Wikipedia. I don't know for how long that may be; think of it as an extended Wikibreak. I may end up never coming back. It will be hard at first, as I have been an active member of the English Wikipedia for almost two years now, but I will try my best to stay away.

I wish you all the best of luck with your endeavors.

— Statυs (talk) 16:57, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Due to the strong support I have been getting from users and seeing that I would actually be missed, the above is no longer accurate. I still, however, am considering retirement. I will still continue to edit regularly, just not as much. Statυs (talk) 05:18, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Retiring

Sorry to see you go. This whole dispute has been stupid and it sucks that they forced it to this level. :( Toa Nidhiki05 16:08, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quite frankly, it is. I've always been aware that Wikipedians aren't Irreplaceable, so I've always prided myself on being an active editor and not running into any major trouble. That has just pushed me over the edge. It will be a hard thing to do, as I have been an active member of the project for almost two years, but it has to be done. Of course, I will edit a few times, and will, hopefully, eventually weed myself from Wikipedia. I will be writing a formal message of my departure and reasoning once I am free of this unjustice.

And, it is bad to see you leave... :) I wish you all the best in the future and hope that You will get a life unlike me, as all I do as edit Wikipedia 24/7, and have not been outside for a week now. :) Cheers, --Khanassassin ☪ 16:48, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It was my pleasure. Haha, it's been the same for me, don't worry about it. I wish you all the best. Statυs (talk) 17:04, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Damn, it's true what they said about our best editors leaving from blocks that wasn't really warranted. Sucks to see you go. Erick (talk) 17:31, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it most certainly is. I have finally found and constructed the information for a background section that could be used on "No Me Ames". I will add it to the article once I'm unblocked. We should then nominate it for GA. Statυs (talk) 17:48, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Departure

[edit]

This is quite disgusting. You've been an incredible friend and good editor and watch you leave is very sad. I'm praying for you to stay, but it's your desicion at the end. I'll be in contact with you from the outside ans we've been doing. This situation discouraged me either from editing on Wikipedia, and i think I will extend my Wikibreak for a longer period. Cheers! —Hahc21 18:40, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the support Hahc. I think that is more or less what I will being. We're not the only ones who have been discouraged over this. Statυs (talk) 20:22, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Jeeze i'll be sorry to see you go if you end up retiring. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 21:26, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ain't it funny...

[edit]
See also: Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents § Block_pattern_and_rationales_made_by_User:Toddst1

...how both I and User:Till I Go Home get our Rollback rights removed, yet User:Hahc21 does not? Let me explain. User:Toddst1 left Till I Go Home a long message on their talk page stating that "Rollback requires a thorough understanding of WP:EW, WP:3RR and to some extent WP:BLP all of which you are clearly having problems with." He left a note stating: "Editor's repeated statements have made it clear that s/he doesn't understand what an EW is and isn't, so removing RB. This may be restored later if the user demonstrates a full understanding of the policy." Now, Rollback does not require any of the sort. The page states: "Administrators may revoke the rollback feature or issue a block in response to a persistent failure to explain reverts, regardless of the means used. However, they should allow the editor an opportunity to explain their use of rollback before taking any action – there may be justification of which the administrator is not aware (such as reversion of a banned user). Similarly, editors who edit war may lose the privilege regardless of the means used to edit war." Till I Go Home has not done anything of the sort, and should not have his rollback rights removed. Similarity, Toddst1 has accused Hahc21 of not the same issues, but has not removed his rights. My rollback rights were also removed for "repeated blocks for edit warring, not understanding EW policy and exceptions". "not understanding EW policy and exceptions" is not a valid reason to remove rollback rights, as I previously stated above. He is, however, still entitled to remove the rights per: "Similarly, editors who edit war may lose the privilege regardless of the means used to edit war." But he is still bound by this: "However, they should allow the editor an opportunity to explain their use of rollback before taking any action." which in this case would be normal undoing. It has also been disputed the fact that what I had done was even an EW, which has been discussed above. User:Gimmetoo explained this situation perfectly: "This is a good example of the problem of inconsistent standards and punishment. Not everyone agrees there was even edit warring." Toddst1 blocking me because he felt I was edit warring isn't technically wrong, as Gimmetoo also stated, but him then taking away my user rights is, especially if I hadn't even used the feature during the "edit war". And also considering I rarely have even used the tool. Statυs (talk) 21:41, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot that this user right is required to use Huggle. I don't use it on Wikipedia itself, only on Huggle. Now I can't use Huggle... Statυs (talk) 13:44, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just another in the long list of abusive, bullshit blocks against editors trying to protect the encyclopedia. Unfortunately (Personal attack removed) Toddst1 is far more concerned with his ego than actually doing anything helpful here. Joefromrandb (talk) 22:55, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And he has done it again!! May I reiterate my earlier statement, "Do your research before making 'bullshit [blocks]'." I helpdןǝɥ I 23:58, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm about wanting to ask him if he's open to recall, but I have no interest in getting in a Meta dispute. Toa Nidhiki05 00:31, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Since Todd doesn't seem to want to leave a response here, which he is clearly aware of, as he has asking other user to comment to another user about something they said here, I will be forced to bring this up in, yet another, ANI report. Edits to this section can still be made until I am unblocked, in which time I will be moving this to a appropriate section of Wikipedia where all can see. I'm really interested in seeing what others think of this. Statυs (talk) 00:47, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yes, he asked me to look at the one edit, I did, I left an appropriate, personal message, limited solely to the issue of the post. I haven't looked into Status's block, but noticed that it was already being discussed at ANI earlier. The only other time I've had contact with Toddst1 was when I unblocked User:FleetCommand, someone who Toddst1 had blocked. Obviously, we aren't buddies. I'm guessing that is why he asked me, since most people would see me as neutral in regards to his actions, plus I'm rather outspoken about bad blocks and admin accountability myself (check contribs if there is a doubt). I'm not taking sides here, I just said personal attacks aren't acceptable and I politely asked him to remove them. And of course you are welcome to bring it up in any venue and I will happily participate, although the paragraph above is the whole story. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 01:08, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was in no way implying that you two were friends and he asked you to stick up for him. I have no problem with the message you left the user. I was just noting evidence to show that he was aware of this discussion, but refused to comment. This is per the ANI page: "Before posting a grievance about a user here, please discuss the issue with them on their user talk page." I tried, and it backfired. Statυs (talk) 01:12, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I didn't take it wrong, and honestly, it was probably better that he asked someone neutral to take a look and for him to step back a bit, so I won't hold that against him. As an admin, when I'm in a contentious situation, I will ask neutral editors or admins to take a look at a situation, to make sure I don't overreact. We are all flawed humans, after all. As for the frustration, I know there are always plenty of reasons to be upset over a block, good or bad, so I don't begrudge anyone for a little venting. At this point, I just don't want to see more blocks, good or bad, over the situation. Since you mentioned and linked the note and my comment, I thought it would be proper if I came in and addressed your valid concerns. I'm always available to answer why I take any action. As for the block, I will have to leave that to you, ANI and him for now, I just don't have the time to properly review it or I gladly would. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 01:34, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think that WikiProject is a great thing. There are surely some issues with the blocking yesterday. I think Gimmetoo stated it best: "This is a good example of the problem of inconsistent standards and punishment. Not everyone agrees there was even edit warring. In practice, unsourced content routinely gets removed, and editors are not usually blocked for it. To rephrase bbb23: Even if one believes that Status's action wasn't perfect... that doesn't make it wrong. User:Toddst1 apparently has a particular view of edit warring. Now, people are welcome to have a range of views, but Toddst1 administrated those views by blocks and removal of user rights. I wonder, how would Toddst1 react to someone blocking him over a difference of view of appropriate administration? An admin needs to look at the overall situation, including the likely effect on the editors involved, before using tools. So Status is considering leaving - is that really a good outcome?" Additionally, for that reason, don't you think I should have my rollback rights restored, per 1) being removing several hours after my block, seems as if he didn't notice (as he said) I had them and jumped to remove them when he noticed and 2) it is even being disputed that I was edit warring in the first place, by many other editors. The last reason would be the understanding thing, which is the only reason he gave Till I Go Home, which isn't a requirement to have rollback. Statυs (talk) 18:11, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Considering retirement?

[edit]

Wow, that came as a surprise when I saw it. I should hope that you give that idea a lot of thought before jumping too quickly. I personally think you do some very awesome work around here that often incorporates a lot of really good, straight forward common sense. When I stumble upon music articles that are really messed up, I often use your last edit in history as a calibration tool for figuring out what went wrong it after you left. I trust your judgement and knowledge in the area of modern pop music, and you're the user I'd most likely come to if I needed advice or a second opinion in that particular subject area. I urge you to try hard to shrug off whatever is currently bothering you, stand up straight, and carry on with what you do best. I look forward to seeing more of you in the months to come. :)  -- WikHead (talk) 22:10, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for your kind words, it really means a lot to me. You probably have taken a look now and seen the above mess on my talk page.

Yes, I did indeed notice there was a bit of a disturbance above, and I clearly understand how it could come as quite an unexpected blow.

I reinstated your removed comments at this AfD with a strikethrough, bit I see you have removed them again. Please note that Wikipedia policy (WP:AFDFORMAT) states "[d]o not make conflicting recommendations; if you change your mind, modify your original recommendation rather than adding a new one" and the strikethrough technique is reccomended. It is important for the closing administrator to see the evolution of the debate when closing an AfD nomination, so it's best that all comments remain on the page.

It was over

[edit]

Yes, it was over. Your only next step is an RFC/A. Poor idea to unarchive it, as no immediate administrator action was to come from it. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 19:39, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's time to move on. Now it just seems like you have an axe to grind. --Rschen7754 19:41, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Seeing as how I've been an upstanding user for my entire Wikipedia career, I don't see how I would have an axe to grind. It's not as if it's clear that my block was warranted, it has been disputed. That's quite an accusation to be throwing. As for RFC/A, thank you Bwilkins for pointing me towards the next place to go. Statυs (talk) 21:13, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
So now's a good time to undo your grievous error...right? (✉→BWilkins←✎) 21:20, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What am I do undo? I don't understand what you mean. Statυs (talk) 21:26, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously you were supposed to undo the restoral from archive - that was pretty clear. Too late now. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 14:20, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Rschen7754 did it before I got the chance to, so... Statυs (talk) 14:25, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
By "axe to grind", it seems to me that you're just trying to get revenge for your block(s). --Rschen7754 21:15, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Considering that another Wikipedian user had actually started the report, your comments appear to be fairly invalid. Revenge? I'm surprised to see that coming from an administrator. I could see saying that, again, to a user whose block was completely fair. For example, personal attacks. And they are starting reports saying "This is so unfair, OMG! Take away his admin powers, like OMG!". But that is surely not the case here, can't you see? Nobody replied to my comments I made there and I noticed it got archived. So I restored it. I wasn't aware that there was a further place I could take it, as I wasn't the one who started the report in the first place (and have never). Statυs (talk) 21:25, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If that's the tack you want to take, then so be it; your comments don't address the point I am making, but whatever. But be forewarned that a RFC/A is a double-edged sword and could come back to haunt you. --Rschen7754 22:02, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I never stated that I was going to open a RFC/A; I haven't even looked at the page about it yet. All I did was thank him for "pointing me towards the next place to go". If its a "double-edged sword and could come back to haunt you" why would it be suggested to me? Statυs (talk) 22:06, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
From WP:RFC: "An RfC may bring close scrutiny on all involved editors." --Rschen7754 22:11, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All I wanted was a agreement that his block on me was either correct or incorrect. I don't want to involve the whole community like that, or make a big deal out of this. His overall actions don't seem to be that bad, although there are some questionable ones. I'm aware of the fact that admins are not perfect. I'm not the only one who disputes the fact that I was blocked. I would just like to continue on with my contributions to Wikipedia as if nothing had happened, but before that, I would require my rollback rights restored. Seeing as how it is disputed that my edits were even edit warring, and he removed them for that reason; I believe that requires a discussion among users, which is why I restored the ANI discussion. Additionally, he blocked me immediately after we had a little dispute on a user's talk page, which is covered on WP:INVOLVED. Statυs (talk) 22:23, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously that's not the message that came across from the whole ANI, and indeed there was no consensus in either direction - no blocks, returning of rights or emergency desysops were going to come from that discussion. Here's my recommendation: proceed as a good, valued editor. Put all of this behind you, as you say you want to do. In about a month go to RFPERM and ask for rollback - show proof of some examples of reverting vandalism without any specific tools. Don't badmouth the admin who removed it - indeed, don't even discuss them. The best way to put things behind you is to actually put them behind you. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 14:19, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is a perfect example of one of his nominations that were done without WP:BEFORE. He claimed it was not notable, so I took it upon myself to prove otherwise and managed to expand it 142x. I have a feeling he will be back. It's hard to stay away from Wikipedia. Statυs (talk) 22:16, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ahh...i see...he appears to specialise in nominations for deletion on things he doesn't research first and learns policies to support his case but then doesn't apply them properly. Perfect example being the use of WP:CRYSTAL on the BTWF nomination when i said it was notable and would continue to grow. He didn't even research any of these nominations first clearly as he's supposed to.
Let's hope you're right about Swifty as someone needs to do up those Taylor Swift articles. Thanks ツ Jenova20 (email) 22:23, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Born This Way Foundation

[edit]

Hi Status, would you mind discussing the change to the lede? I reworded the start of it to:

I believe this is a more accurate wording for the Foundation since they clearly aren't working solely in America or for an American-only goal. The big clue being their constant mention of making a better world (rather than a better more inclusive America) and the fact that the Born Brave buses are following her on tours to help others. There's also her poster campaign and hook-up with Viacom which were not confined to just America and so i believe this to be factually incorrect.

Any help reviewing these Aussie Olympians to hopefully run during the Olympics would be fantastic. :) There is a bit of a backlog of unreviewed DYKs which makes it hard to get some things reviewed. :) --LauraHale (talk) 11:55, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Your GA nomination of Can't Stop Won't Stop (song)

If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Can't Stop Won't Stop (song) for things which need to be addressed. Jonayo!

Hello there. I note that you recently !voted to Keep the article BeyHive at the aforementioned AfD because of the sources found by Fæ (talk · contribs).

This is fancruft. Aaron • You Da One 23:51, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that you can't even respond to defend it shows that it is useless information which is trying to make the article look bigger. Aaron • You Da One 00:14, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Defend what? It's not my fault you aren't aware of what background information is. 00:15, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
The song has nothing to do with an album 5 years ago. That's history, not background. Aaron • You Da One 00:16, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Album five years ago? One sentence is a whole section? Woah man! Statυs (talk) 00:17, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Um guys, please don't fight. Zach, I just read the article and I'm afraid Aaron is true but it's not fancruft, just information insignificant to the article: the thing about Love? being delayed, release of the buzz single etc. Ryoga Godai (talk) 04:01, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

2012 vs. 2012–Present

[edit]

I'm being told the latter is the right way, per commonplace. However, you've said it should just be "2012". Mind helping me understand which it should be and why? I don't want WP:EDITWAR with a member over this, who clearly believe one thing while I believe another. MusicFreak7676 TALK! 06:59, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) "Present" should not be capitalized in this construction; when it's appropriate to use the range, e.g., "2011–present", then it should be lowercase and with an unspaced en dash. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:17, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
But should it be used if it's 2012, etc.? I mean, technically, it is 2012 so it is present? I'm being told -present needs to be used since it's common place in music articles. And I have found no such word to say such. MusicFreak7676 TALK! 07:28, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

2012 is the present, so when a section is about 2012, it should only say 2012. For example, see Jennifer_Lopez#2012:_Dance_Again..._The_Hits_and_touring. Statυs (talk) 19:11, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Could you help me with it at One Direction, then? Since I don't want to argue it out with another editor who insists, per common place, that you put "2012-present" and won't accept anything else. MusicFreak7676 TALK! 19:38, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Is AdabowtheSecond (talk · contribs) the one who is insisting "present" be there? I'll leave him a message on his talk explaining. Statυs (talk) 19:41, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, they are and have continually been. MusicFreak7676 TALK! 19:54, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I left him a message on his talk. There isn't really much of an explanation to use. 2012 is the present, so therefore the title is saying 2012-2012. xD Statυs (talk) 19:59, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly what I keep trying to say and it keeps getting reverted with little to no believable explanation. MusicFreak7676 TALK! 20:01, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2012 July newsletter

[edit]

We're approaching the beginning of 2012's final round. Pool A sees Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) as the leader, with 300 points being awarded for the featured article Bivalvia, and Pool B sees Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions) in the lead, with 10 good articles, and over 35 articles eligible for good topic points. Pool A sees New York City Muboshgu (submissions) in second place with a number of articles relating to baseball, while Pool B's Minnesota Ruby2010 (submissions) follows Grapple X, with a variety of contributions including the high-scoring, high-importance featured article on the 2010 film Pride & Prejudice. Ruby2010, like Grapple X, also claimed a number of good topic points; despite this, not a single point has been claimed for featured topics in the contest so far. The same is true for featured portals.

Currently, the eighth-place competitor (and so the lowest scorer who would reach the final round right now) has scored 332, more than double the 150 needed to reach the final round last year. In 2010, however, 430 was the lowest qualifying score. In this competition, we have generally seen scores closer to those in 2010 than those in 2011. Let's see what kind of benchmark we can set for future competitions! As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Metamophosis album cover

[edit]

I see reverted the album cover image I uploaded, a while ago. I just thought it would make better sense to have an album cover image with the actual Metamorphosis text on the cover. Granted, the image you want is a lot more cleaner than the image I uploaded. The image without the Metamorphosis text is taken from photocopies of the actual CD cover, the image with the Metamorphosis text, is the web version and is a close representation of what the CD cover looks like from a far, with the Metamorphosis text on the CD binding. Anyway, I found this particular image [14], which may or may not be a larger image of the one uploaded. I think is particular image could be a compromise for the both of us (once its shrunk to fair use size), its not as clean as the photocopy, but its a lot more clear than the one I uploaded. Let me know what you think and if you don't want any further changes to the file, I won't bother you about this anymore. QuasyBoy (talk) 04:51, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I know what you mean, but quite frankly, the Metamorphosis text is a part of the binding and not the cover itself. Maybe this should be asked at WP:ALBUMS or something? I don't really believe it should be included, but others may feel differently. I also believe there's a certain version where the Metamorphosis text appears beside the Hilary Duff text, but I'm not 100% positive. Statυs (talk) 05:18, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I just looked at my copy of the album, and the hair on the side doesn't appear on the binding of it. Statυs (talk) 05:20, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This is what I'm talking about. It's used on iTunes. Statυs (talk) 05:38, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I know it exists. Do you think that is a better compromise? Also, I have the CD as well, the hair doesn't appear on the binding, but I don't that is a really big issue. But if the main purpose of the current image is to reflect the album cover and the album cover only, not the binding, let's just leave it as is. QuasyBoy (talk) 05:42, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Would you support the use of the one I just linked to above? Statυs (talk) 05:49, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I support it. The Metamorphosis text is not used like that on the actual CD cover, in reality, the binding anyway, but the image very clear and the Metamorphosis text is used nonetheless. So I don't mind that one being used. QuasyBoy (talk) 05:56, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Billboard.biz alert

[edit]

Hey, I noticed today that on Billboard.biz, if you go to archive and search for something (such as a song's peak date), you can get to the archived, full chart. Works the same for album and video charts as well. Here's an example of what I mean. I figured I would tell you since you are online. Anyway, if you need to find an chart archive date or something I would suggest you do it before they figure out. Toa Nidhiki05 02:47, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Woah, that's cool! I'm really not too much of a charts guy, so I don't think it would come in handy for me. xD I might take a look at a few. Thanks man! Statυs (talk) 02:49, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I figured I'd tell you since it is much, much easier to make articles for non-singles if it appeared on a minor chart (apparently appearing in the lower edge of the UK chart is enough to let pretty much every Rihanna song have an article). I'm pretty sure this is some sort of accident, because Billboard charges a pretty penny for access, but I'm going to try and mass-archive pages with the web archive for however long this lasts. :DToa Nidhiki05 02:53, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Haha, yes. I'm doing the same, just for reference if I wouldn't be able to find it elsewhere. Statυs (talk) 02:56, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, I just hope Billboard doesn't find out for a few days. As long as nobody (namely, ATRL) notices the archive links there should be at least a few days of free access. Toa Nidhiki05 02:58, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Like a Surgeon

[edit]

First of all, you must be reading a different Ciara letter than I am, because the only single that she said her label told radio stations not to play was "Gimmie Dat". All she said about other songs was "there were time that i chose songs to lead a project but i was ignored". In translation, she's saying the songs she chose weren't released, but as she gave no titles, it is WP:OR to assume she's talking about certain songs. In addition, the radio1 source you have for june 15, 2009 has a number of remixes and internet inks that never hit radio or put on an album. According to that, Drake released five singles that day, while Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, and T.I. also released songs, (None of them are included on any of their albums or are considered to be singles. In that way, the site is unreliable, and everything on that page is false. As for the billboard source, its just a review that happened to be published on June 20, 2009. The reviewer most likely received the song at the time that all other sites first announced that it "will be" released. ( a critic needs time to write a review and get it published) The song may have been cancelled within that time (look at sweat, it premiered on june 4th and sites like Rap-Up said it will be released, but as you know in those two weeks between that and its planned digital release, it was CANCELLED) Plus in that same article, it reviews The-Dream's Walkin on the moon, which was released to radio on April 28th, according to Radio and records (R&R.com). So the publishing date has nothing to do with when it was released. The song is not listed on FMQB or R&R (which shows urban radio release archives)

If that's not enough she never even mentioned it in the summer of 2009 and didn't even perform it on her tour with Jay-Z IN THE US. Plus, as I know singles don't need music videos, NAME one Ciara single that does;t have a video. She even released one for Gimmie Dat when she had to pay for it herself (her videos are what she's known for).

So there is no source that gives a date of release for it, and by the time of that billboard article, it had already charted due to unsolicited radio airplay. So, there's no way to show it was released. I wanted it to be a single, because I was a fan that didn;t want her to give up on Fantasy Ride, but the fact is it wasn't.

Nothing says radio or CD single (not even digital download, which Work got in the US in December 2009). So please tell me in what way, shape, or form can you say that that song was released?--TheCountdown (talk) 03:22, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, they are not, if you actually took into consideration what I wrote, you would see that. Look at all the facts in everything I wrote. Please look beyond your static opinion, and see it as it really is, plus how did you know I posted this on another talk page?--TheCountdown (talk) 16:36, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(small rational interjection) Can I point out that "Like a Surgeon" was serviced to radio as per the reference given and billboard even referred to the song as a single in its June Magazine. regardless of whether it was cancelled or not... Its release happened, the song went to radio and charted as a single. If it was cancelled two weeks after release thats fine but it was still a single however short the period. You cannot remove something which is correct with sources UNLESS an equally reliable source says that it wasn't a single. If something has a music video and a stand alone digital release its probably a single as per WP:DUCK. The fact its been referred to as a single by billboard which is the final nail in the coffin. In the words of a fine wikipedia drop the stick and slowly step away from the horse, its well and truly dead. Repeatedly edit warring will just lead to a block or , and thats not if somethinge else doesn't sting first. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 16:50, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dance Again World Tour

Wrong! I don't know what about Enrique, but out of the concerts there is the logo of "dance again tour" everywhere.

Hi! I see you are in a content dispute with Alxthss over Dance Again World Tour, yet neither of you seem to be discussing this on the talk page, nor following normal Wikipedia dispute resolution. I've protected the page as the dispute has turned into an edit war, and I expect you two to work out a solution, or get more eyes in. Any future edit warring could lead you to be blocked from editing. WormTT(talk) 07:43, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You appear to have missed the various messages that I left the user asking him to stop doing what he was doing. And you must have also missed his refusal to do so, stating that he will continue to add tour dates that are not apart of a tour, because, and I quote: "Its impossible JLo's tour doesn't have concerts in North America". I'm also not a fan of receiving a generic message linking to polices that I'm obviously quite familiar with, given how long I've been a member here. Statυs (talk) 08:36, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I sent you both an identical message, well aware that you've been chatting on each other's talk pages, which is unhelpful should you want other editors to actually help resolve the dispute. I'm not getting into the content dispute, the simple fact is, you and he disagree and were reverting each other. The message wasn't generic, it was written by me specifically based on this situation, and if you're quite familiar with the policies, you should be able to see the issues with your behaviour. WormTT(talk) 09:05, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hardly chatting; I've been trying to decode what they are even trying to say. He reverted me removing unsourced content from the article and adding things that are already in another article that have no relevance to the article in which he was adding the information to. Mind you he left no edit summaries of what he was doing, while I indeed did. If you think that I don't know what an edit war is and you feel the need to link me to the page on it, something's wrong. I was quite insulted by that, to be honest. Statυs (talk) 09:28, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and from what is seen above, the user additionally claimed "I know them" and that "Its impossible JLo's tour doesn't have concerts in North America"—WP:OR. Apparently I also "blew it" when it comes to the article and "Everything was fine until you edit them". I left the user a civil message on their talk page asking them to stop. The user probably doesn't even know the article has a talk page, as their account seems to have been just created. Statυs (talk) 09:32, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, the editor is new, so perhaps a little more time explaining what needs to be done would be a good idea? Like it or not, you were reverting the new editors edits, over and over. That's an edit war, and yes, I'll link to it if I see users engaged in one. It's not intended to be insulting, but I do suggest you re-familiarise yourself with it. Yes, you had used edit summaries, and left them a talk page message which tells them they are wrong, but doesn't explain anything about how things work here. It's hardly surprising a new editor is unaware of edit summaries, policies or how to talk on talk pages. WormTT(talk) 09:48, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The user seemed familiar enough with them to blank them out completely, and know how to revert in the first place. I don't know why I said they probably don't know what the talk page; must be my insomnia speaking because the user seems pretty familiar with what they're doing. I don't seen an edit war at all. The user made no explanation of what they wanted to accomplish with their edits, in which I therefore told them and directed them to the page where that information should and does exist. The user also, in re-adding the material that does not belong in the article (which isn't up for debate, what-so-ever), removed copyediting and other things I did to the article; which clearly shows that the user knows what they are doing.

Canvassing allegations

[edit]

Thank you for your comments in regards to the canvassing allegations being made against myself. However, I feel that you should be made aware of the entire issue, as it would have saved you time purging the allegations further. As it has been pointed out and noted by all involved, at the time of the Suntribe AfD I had started to update the WP:EURO newsletter with AfD alerts so project members would receive the notifications. At that time I noticed user BabbaQ was actively editing. As I know he is a member of the same project I left him a note to let him know there was an AfD if he wished to participate. I had never stated that the user must participate nor did I force the user to cast a keep !vote. I then proceeded to each of the respective article pages to continue posting AfD notifications in case members of WP:EURO don't have all pages on their watchlists - and believe me there are members who can't be bothered to add pages to a watchlist. I was unbeknown that BabbaQ was also posting the same notices across various article talk pages, it was the edit conflicts that made me aware, and it would have been darn right stupid to duplicate a post twice on one talk page. I have never been away that BabbaQ is a "99.9% keep" as he has participated in other AfD and has been known to vote delete, merger, redirect based on his own opinion of the case. The user who cast the accusation has acknowledged this but is refusing to retract their allegations - why I have no idea. But it is most unfair that they should acknowledge their allegation was wrong but not retract it entirely. As I cannot retract their statements myself, then I have no clue as to what action to take next other than escalate things further. Wesley Mouse 04:53, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message. I advise to you to either post this on the RFD or link to it on the page so others will be aware of the whole situation. I find it very odd that the user will not retract their statement. Best, Statυs (talk) 04:57, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I know these two users can get a little out of hand with their replies but I've learned to stay civil and good faith to help resolve the matter faster. I've posted this issue on another page to get some assistance from other users/admins so don't worry too much about their replies. I have to go soon but I will comment on this matter later today. Thanks Bleubeatle (talk) 13:31, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

[edit]

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for some very valid advice that you have given in a recent heated debate over AfD's etc. Some of the points that you have raised have really opened my eyes to a broader perspective. One of the main points you made helped me to understand that there could have been a misinterpretation of words written by one user, which lead to a incorrect canvassing caution being issued - I have since retracted that caution in hindsight of your advice. What concerns me now, is that there were a lot of guidance links being referenced in the two AfD discussions, and those links contradicted each other and left matters somewhat confusing - and if they can confuse myself who has been around here for a year now, then they most certainly would confuse a less established editor too. In light of that, I think that I need to open a new discussion at WT:ESC with the aim that all project members are able to find some common ground and avoid similar situations like this arising in the future. Is there any advice that you may be able to provide that would assist me in this? E.g. other areas that would be ideal to get involved to broaden the outlook? Such advice would be truly appreciated. Regards, (Wes) Wesley Mouse 15:30, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are most certainly welcome. I think that would be a great idea, as something of the sort is bound to happen again (rather sooner than later). Maybe an agreement should be made and a guideline created on what types of articles should be created, based on how notable the act is. Something like Wikipedia:WikiProject_Idol_series#Guidelines. Best, Statυs (talk) 15:41, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Without making myself sound like a stickler, would you be able to have a look at the project goals at WP:ESC too, as I think the main problem with articles for participants/songs potentially being created prematurely could stem from those. I can see why someone would want to create an article, in order to avoid redlinks on the Eurovision by Year pages. But it could be a case of just linking to country pages first, and then create the participant/song articles once we know who the "top 10" or even top-5 placings are. Participants within the top-10 placings have gone on to do more notable work in recent contest years. Wesley Mouse 15:49, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, the goals are quite conflicting on that page itself. It states: "The goal of this project is to create high quality articles and to maintain consistency in terms of layout and information." There are many articles that could not be expanded upon further to become high quality (meaning GA/FA, etc). I think the best bet, really, would be to create lists that, instead of just being small and linking to the entries and the groups, have a section on each about the entry. If the song is notable (have charted or received a certain amount of coverage to justify a separate article), a separate article should be created for it. It should still, however, be included in the list page, with a nice little "further information" tag. The project would be able to get a lot more done if this is the way it worked. In that, I mean getting articles to GA, FA, FL, whatever it may be. Out of 4.5k articles, half of them are either start or stub class. Statυs (talk) 15:58, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It basically appears as if the main goal of the project is to create an article for every single entry, which isn't what should be the focus. Statυs (talk) 16:00, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Something like User:Status/Sandbox/ESC05, which would obviously be written better and sourced better as well. Statυs (talk) 16:04, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) I thought as much. Project goal #2 is basically telling members to create an article for everything. Strange actually, as I had been thinking if the project itself needed a bit of reform to better improve itself, and even reformatting the main project page to give it more appeal to entice new membership too. Not sure though if going about a reform discussion is best, especially as I am relatively new to that project compared to users who have been a part of the project for years. What is the current stance on WikiProject reforms? Are they allowed to be done by anyone? Only just noticed your sandbox link during the EC will take a look now. And feel free to call me Wes, most people do - the full Wesley Mouse title sounds a bit cheesy (pardon the pun). Wesley Mouse 16:06, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm... I don't think I've ever seen something about reforms before. I don't see a problem with anybody doing one. I would maybe start a discussion on the talk page first, just to see how everybody feels about, as it looks as if there are quite a few active members of the project. And of course, with the list, the infobox could be used. Depending on the amount of information in the article List of Eurovision Song Contest 2005 entries (semi-finalists) and List of Eurovision Song Contest 2005 entries (finalists) could, for example, be created. Statυs (talk) 16:11, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And will do. Feel free to cal me Zach, most people don't, but I prefer it. I hate when people call me Status. :L Statυs (talk) 16:13, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh thanks Zach, those ideas for articles sound like a massive improvement and would prevent premature article creations too, plus unnecessary AfD and the over-heated debates that come with them. I've left a note at the ANI discussion informing people that this matter appears to be resolving itself, and that we are currently discussion proposals on how to better improve the situation including potential project reforms to improve operations. Wesley Mouse 16:22, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problemo. I always love thinking of new ideas and ways to update things. If you need anything else, just ask. It would also make it much easier to get some GAs, FAs, FLs, etc. which is always a plus for a project. ;) Statυs (talk) 16:24, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh believe me I love GAs. I recently got Eurovision Song Contest 2012 to GA status, and felt so proud of myself as it was the project's first ESC by year article to achieve such an accolade. Inspired me to want to gain more GAs for the project. In regards to reform ideas, I am a member of WP:OLY as I love the Olympics (just done some volunteering at the London games, and got the paras prep in a few days time). Anyhow, their project home page looks so inviting to the eye, and something like that would be ideal for WP:EURO with the obvious adapting to suit Eurovision. Wesley Mouse 16:36, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Haha, yeah, I know the feeling. Woah! That's really cool! Yes, it is very nice looking. Something I did on a WikiProject I oversee, I removed all the members (since a lot were inactive) and left each a message on their talk asking if they would like to continue with the project that they re-sign up for the project. 16:41, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Well you noticed I have started the discussion on project reform (very brave move of me I know). I have now opened it wider by adding RFC tags for a more broader perspective on the matter. Am I doing right grabbing the project by the testicles and giving it a well-needed wake-up call? Wesley Mouse 17:02, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

hey, i removed public image, and merged it with Legacy. I realized all of her achievements and stuff were in legacy, so i made a new section for that. Tell me what you think? And don't worry I haven't expanded anything —ArreJLover 13:16, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also why do insist the 2012 title should be "Dance Again Tour"?..I reckon it should be Dance Again The Hits, because Dance again and Goin' In (sort of) are linked to the album, and much more focuses on her releasing an album rather then tour. Just saying. I mean yea the tour is a big deal but there isn't a lot to talk about. —ArreJLover 13:18, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Because the greatest hits album is a small release that basically nobody knows about it. It was basically released to promote the tour. Statυs (talk) 13:21, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It wasn't a small release, it just flopped without promotion or her giving two stuff about it. Nevertheless Dance Again Tour is still to support the GH album. Anyway, yea I should do that..Idk I'm lazy I'll try though :) —ArreJLover 13:23, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well if the tour is in the heading, some information should be written about her performance. —ArreJLover 13:24, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I'm wrong, I probably am but I am just a little confused with the chronology thing.

Sweat

[edit]

Hi Status,

"Like a Surgeon" was a different story because it was sent to radio and digital release was never planned. Billboard specifically ran an article regarding the former saying that it was a single. "Sweat" was called a single up until its release where in Billboards chart listings it was called a promotional single. Quite simple really. its not as easy as saying song sent to radio = single. It depends on what was said by the label and/or reliable sources. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 18:19, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2012 August newsletter

[edit]

The final is upon us! We are down to our final 8. A massive 573 was our lowest qualifying score; this is higher than the 150 points needed last year and the 430 needed in 2010. Even in 2009, when points were acquired for mainspace edit count in addition to audited content, 417 points secured a place. That leaves this year's WikiCup, by one measure at least, our most competitive ever. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:

  1. Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions) once again finishes the round in first place, leading Pool B. Grapple X writes articles about television, and especially The X-Files and Millenium, with good articles making up the bulk of the score.
  2. Wisconsin Miyagawa (submissions) led Pool A this round. Fourth-place finalist last year, Miyagawa writes on a variety of topics, and has reached the final primarily off the back of his massive number of did you knows.
  3. Minnesota Ruby2010 (submissions) was second in Pool B. Ruby2010 writes primarily on television and film, and scores primarily from good articles.
  4. Scotland Casliber (submissions) finished third in Pool B. Casliber is something of a WikiCup veteran, having finished sixth in 2011 and fourth in 2010. Casliber writes on the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy. Over half of Casliber's points this round were bonus points from the high-importance articles he has worked on.
  5. Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) came second in Pool A. Also writing on biology, especially marine biology, Cwmhiraeth received 390 points for one featured article (Bivalvia) and one good article (pelican), topping up with a large number of did you knows.
  6. New York City Muboshgu (submissions) was third in Pool A. Muboshgu writes primarily on baseball, and this round saw Muboshgu's first featured article, Derek Jeter, promoted on its fourth attempt at FAC.
  7. Michigan Dana Boomer (submissions) was fourth in Pool A. She writes on a variety of topics, including horses, but this round also saw the high-importance lettuce reach featured article status.
  8. Canada Sasata (submissions) is another WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist in 2009 and 2010. He writes mostly on mycology.

However, we must also say goodbye to the eight who did not make the final, having fallen at the last hurdle: Russia GreatOrangePumpkin (submissions), England Ealdgyth (submissions), England Calvin999 (submissions), Poland Piotrus (submissions), North Carolina Toa Nidhiki05 (submissions), Florida 12george1 (submissions), Cherokee Nation The Bushranger (submissions) and North Macedonia 1111tomica (submissions). We hope to see you all next year.

On the subject of next year, a discussion has been opened here. Come and have your say about the competition, and how you'd like it to run in the future. This brainstorming will go on for some time before more focused discussions/polls are opened. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Toddst1 (talk) 17:45, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock request

[edit]
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Status (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Yeah... so, apparently I was edit warring on Dance Again World Tour when I was actually just reinforcing consensus that was previously reached. This user Alxthss (talk · contribs) kept going against said consensus, and several users asked him to take it to the article's talk page if he wishes for tour dates that are part of a different tour to be included on an article for another tour in which they have no relevance to. I explained it to the user several times on their talk and they basically just told me they would keep adding them regardless. Hahc21 (talk · contribs) (who also reverted him, but was failed to be blocked during this instance by said administration) left him a message, and he blanked his talk page - completely ignoring it - and then proceed to revert, once again. Hahc21 then left a message to Toddst1 (talk · contribs) and he blocked both Alxthss and I. I totally expected it. Myself, Alxthss, Hahc21 and Tomica (talk · contribs) were all involved in this "edit war", yet only me and Alxthss were blocked. So, Hahc21 asked Toddst1 on his talk page if this should be brought to DRN and he just flat out blocked. Okay guys! This is where it gets hilarious! Are you ready for this? The block template states: "During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution." This is where I literally laughed aloud; it was uncontrollable really. There was already consensus reached, yet that user decided to ignore it, and Toddst1 was asked by Hahc21 if it should be taken to dispute resolution. Anyways, as you can see from my block log (which you've probably already seen; and my July archives, if you wanna take a peek) Toddst1 and I have been our fair share of disputes in the past. This is why I wasn't surprised at all he went and blocked me. I know this request is probably against some of the appealing block guidelines (Hahc21 has helped me tone it down the best it can), but I find it to be completely relevant to the topic at hand. I was blocked for "edit warring" to reinforce consensus by an administration who I have had arguments and disagreements in the past. And please, for the love of God, don't treat me like I'm some new user who kept vandalizing articles over and over again and is bitching about the blocking admin. I've been on Wikipedia for a while now, and I know how things work around here (for the most part). I will say that since my last block, which had to do with the way I explained things when reverting other users, I have improved a whole lot. I think I definitely proved that during this dispute, so I do not understand why on Earth I could be blocked. Thanks everyone for taking the time to read this. If you know me, you wouldn't expect anything else.

Accept reason:

Per the discussion on Toddst1's talkpage and below, I'm removing this block. The "invitation" below is a bit over the top, and I too would prefer to see it revoked, but it isn't against policy nor is it a blockable offence. Since it has no bearing on this block, and since the block has already been deemed overly harsh, I see no reason not to lift it. Yunshui 雲‍水 07:59, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've talked it over with Toddst1, and I'll unblock on the condition that you withdraw the invitation to Toddst1. I don't deal with editors that try to set restrictions on their talk pages. It inevitably leads to even greater problems.—Kww(talk) 04:11, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm just curious, what is wrong with asking a user from refraining to comment on your talk page? I simply do not wish to see his comments here. Statυs (talk) 04:28, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You've already agreed that the block was unjust, but I must agree to withdraw a talk page block on Toddst1 to be unblocked? What sense does that make? Statυs (talk) 04:30, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
We all have our ways and preferences. Personally, I would indefinitely block every editor that posted "so and so isn't welcome to post on my talk page" messages. I wouldn't get away with it, so I don't. I don't have to unblock editors that have made such statements, though.—Kww(talk) 04:34, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nonsense block. Though I'm pretty sure Status can remove Toddst's future comments even w/out an invitation since it's his talk page. Till 04:49, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Last time I checked, it is perfectly acceptable to "block" editors from commenting on your own talk page. I find that quite silly, seeing as how blocking certain users from commenting on your talk page does not cause any harm to the 'Pedia. Of course, if such a thing was completely unfounded, that's a completely different story, but clearly you can see where I'm coming from? I simply have no desire to see any comments from him on my talk page. This was mostly to prevent what happened during my last unblock request (another argument between the two of us) from happening again. If Jimbo can ask Fae to stay away from his talk page, then I can ask Toddst1 to stay away from mine. You can deny my unblock request because you don't like when users block other users from their talk, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who would find that ridiculous. I stand by my invitation. Statυs (talk) 04:51, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. I won't deny your unblock, I'll just leave it for another admin to process.—Kww(talk) 04:59, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you're going to...

[edit]

If you're going to change the B&B cast list for whatever reasons you seem fit, then do it for the three other soaps that are on-air please. It looks as if you're targeting one soap for whatever your reasons are and it breaks the consistency the pages share. Musicfreak7676 my talk page! 02:10, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me? I just happen to be an avid B&B watcher and want to make the list better... Statυs (talk) 02:11, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I disagree it's making it better. And I'm only saying it, do it ALL soaps so it keeps everything consistent. It disrupts the flow of all of lists. Even discuss changes and join WP:SOAPS. Musicfreak7676 my talk page! 02:19, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there - I agree the changes you are making to B&B cast are drastic enough they should be discussed on the talk page and/or WP:SOAPS please, at least in the cases that you are deleting a lot of info. Also, I'm not sure if some of the sources are reliable for cast lists (soaps.com, etc). Can we undo the changes that delete info and wait for a discussion to be had? Thanks! Kelly Marie 0812 (talk) 02:40, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure what you are referring to. Statυs (talk) 02:41, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I will start a discussion on the talk page. I don't think the deceased cast members should be deleted or the durations since you loose the historical info of current contract characters that have left and come back. There's no "tag teaming" I just happened to notice this and figured I would comment in the same box since it is the same topic. Kelly Marie 0812 (talk) 02:48, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Live! with...

[edit]

Hi Statυs, Please explain if I'm wrong, but according to Template:Infobox_television#Attributes, what goes in show_name_2 is: '"Also known as", i.e. other names by which the show is known.' Not how it was known, meaning this is for aliases. These are not titles that can be used interchangeably, but are predecessors to the current one. So, preceded_by: should be used. --Musdan77 (talk) 03:25, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

preceded_by: is used for "If Show A was a predecessor of Show B, insert the name of Show A and production years." With Live!, they only got a new co-host and changed the title of it to show this; they are not different shows, but the same. Statυs (talk) 03:28, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
But, you didn't explain why it should be in show_name_2. As I've shown, it doesn't belong there. The description for show_name_2 doesn't say anything about production years because it for current, while preceded_by: is for past. The only other show I can think of that is like it is The Tonight Show starring..., and none of those list the others at all. --Musdan77 (talk) 04:29, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
show_name_2 doesn't really specify anything. Don't think of the years as production years, think of them as the years the show had said title. I'm usually against such years being included, but since the show has had many different titles over the years, I think it's the correct thing to do. It mostly definitely not preceded_by, though.

It's alright. I, of course, meant together. xD I start school tomorrow, so I'm probably not gonna have a lot of time on my hands. :( Yes; I told you that before. I'm not interested in anything bother than B&B, though; and it's really pissing me off at the moment... Zac  07:02, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Why is it pissing you off? Oh by the way, I think that maybe, there is still hope for "Dance Again" to be a huge hit in the US..believe it or not..because, it could be boosted by the film and by Glee.. G.T. is not working right now.. —ArreJLover 10:17, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The storylines, of course, I'm getting sick and tired of them. Now, if "Dance Again" was newly released and then Glee covered it, that would be a different story; I doubt it's going to help it any. As for the film, maybe. I don't think it will reach a new peak. Zac  15:16, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
B&B is so boring and repetitive, you should watch DOOL or Y&R (even though Y&R sucks). It's all about Steffy-Liam-Hope and it's getting boring to the point that nobody even cares. True, it's just, songs covered by Glee usually re-enter the top 10 or 15 on iTunes. And Katy Perry's film really boosted her sales. —ArreJLover 06:22, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of The Bold and the Beautiful cast members

[edit]

I have reverted your edit (except for the celebrity section that I didn't add back since there was a consensus).

I have taken a look at the talk page of this article. All the users disagree with you, at least when it comes to duration. You can't just decide to radically change an article to your own needs and disregard the wish of the other users. That's not how Wikipedia works.

Please discuss with the other users and reach an agreement with them before making again these kinds of changes on the article. If no consensus can be reached for the duration, the original version will have to prevail. Thank you. Farine (talk) 22:13, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, there are no drastic changes to the article. I cited content (which you reverted, by the way) and added a little sentence to the lead. The only issue on the talk is the use of duration, and that is not a reason to revert the entire article. Very poor judgement. It is being discussed on the talk page, whether or not to change back to using duration. That's the only issue. One user thinks that deceased cast members should a section (which is repeating information already present in the article, so it's pointless). Zac  22:27, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Status,

I have noticed your changes to the B&B cast page and I realize you want to change the entire article. I have read the talk page and saw that no consensus was reached. You are more than welcome to use your sandbox in order to rearrange the article. However, until a consensus is reached the article must be reverted back to its original content. This is your only warning on this subject. Thank you. Hurley2000 (talk) 19:18, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hold fire with the cover.

Sainsburys has a this as a deluxe cover whereas Play.com has this and Leona's competition to design the album artwork is still on going. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 17:09, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also I believe "Collide" was left in because Leona said during UStream it would be a deluxe edition bonus track. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 17:10, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Regardless, there is going to be some sort of deluxe cover. For "Collide" being a bonus, I was just going by what the source beside it said. I was not aware of that. Zac  17:12, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ah that's ok. I assumed you were going to upload the cover and i was like NOOOOOOO! haha. Erm yes, i'm not sure what to do about that. I've got a YouTube link to the uStream, i think i'll add that just until we get the track listing. I don't wanna remove the Collide information and then have to add it all back that's all. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 17:20, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Haha, no, I wasn't. Just re-adding the note. I noticed a user kept removing it before, since there was "no confirmation" of a deluxe cover. Zac  17:21, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I was gonna leave "Shake You Up" out, simply cause that's original research. We know she worked with Darkchild but we don't know that "Shake You Up" is the single they produced, or that he's even made the track listing. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 00:40, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Questionable

[edit]

Can I ask what gives you the impression this is a reliable source for sales? It looks pretty questionable, but I'm not too familiar with it. Care to shed some light?--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 01:56, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It appears to be a reputable website. Just found that it is copied from a press release, so reverting myself. Zac  02:00, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Found a good source for 7 million for On the 6 :)--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 02:15, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OMG, thank you so much! I'm finding it so hard to find worldwide numbers for her albums. Zac  02:17, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sure thing! Found another for J.Lo for 7 million :D--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 02:18, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, again! I've updated the discography with them. Sorry it took so long to reply, reconstructed how the notes are done so I won't have to go and change the letters and shit when a new note is added. If you can find anymore, feel free to share. ;) Zac  02:43, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hehe no prob :) Glad I could help! Actually, I found an up-to-date source for J.Lo listing 10 million.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 02:48, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that earlier, but I wasn't so sure if it's good to use as a source or not. Zac  02:55, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see why not. Its used for professional reviews all the time in GA level articles. Also, About.com is published by the The New York Times Company so I would definitely support its reliability.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 02:57, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Reviews are a different thing. They could have got that number from wherever; I see a lot of that number floating around, but I can't seem to hunt down where it originated from. It could have just been a number that spread around and is deemed as true, you know what I mean? Also, knowing as of when it sold that many copies is important. Zac  02:59, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, its your call!--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 03:06, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've got a question for ya, do you think it's worthy of a note on J.Lo's main article that she has sued her ex-driver for threatening to release "disruptive and potentially damaging" information about her unless she paid him $2.8 million? Zac  03:07, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I'm not too familiar with her, so I don't know how publicized (if at all) this was. I think it can go either way. It can be over-looked or you can add a few lines in the appropriate section. As an example, Carey's at-the-time step-father sued her in the first years of her career. Its in her bio books, but we decided to not include it.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 03:31, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I just decided not to include it. If it turns out to be some big public thing, then it's worth a mention, but right now, it's just a filed case. It may not go anywhere. Thanks. Zac  03:34, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

you need to learn the difference between a single and a promotional single

[edit]

A single is a song sent to radio stations has a music video and has been confirmed by the record label as such, a promotional single is a single release to digital download and may have a music video to promote a movie, charity, etc. it is not always free from your argument on the discography page and has not been confirmed by the label as an official single off the product if you have no source claiming it is an official single then it is a promotional single. you need to stop acting like you own the taylor swift pages. i noticed you ruining a lot of them and you need to stop. its not right of you to confuse people by posting wrong information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.102.31.108 (talk) 16:43, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional singles are songs that are free and they don't have a price. When song is made for digital download means people are able to buy it thus they are becoming singles. Zac's theory is totally fine. — Tomica (talk) 16:46, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Some artists do refer to songs as a promotional single as to promote something else they are doing though, regardless if they are free to buy or not. AARON• TALK 16:50, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

exactly so zac is wrong in that aspect and so are you tomica. all singles that aren't released to radio are promotional singles, eg. "Today was a Fairytale" was used to promote Valentine's Day, Safe & Sound was used to promote The Hunger Games and i'd like to point this statement in the promotional recordings section:

Since the advent of broad-bandwidth Internet access and professional tools such as iPool or Haulix, the online promotional distribution of music has been established. Record companies make their music available as audio files and use the Internet as a distribution channel. In contrast to the conventional way of distributing promotional recordings, this kind of promotional distribution is faster and cheaper.

Nothing about free there sorry... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.102.31.108 (talk) 17:19, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia: Promotional recording, or promo, is an audio or video recording distributed for free, usually in order to promote a recording that is or soon will be commercially available. Am I clear now? The first sentence of the article Promotional recording says they are free. Meaning If Taylor made the song available for digital download on iTunes or Amazon or 7digital and didn't refer the song as a promo single (although they rarely name their songs) that makes it a single. — Tomica (talk) 17:23, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong again Tomica: You are picking and chosing here as the next sentence clearly states: Promos are normally sent directly to broadcasters, such as music radio and television stations, and to tastemakers, such as DJs and music journalists, in advance of the release of commercial editions, in the hope that airplay, reviews, and other forms of exposure will result and stimulate the public's interest in the commercial release. Oops your bad...

Online promotional distribution - from Promotional recording

Since the advent of broad-bandwidth Internet access and professional tools such as iPool or Haulix, the online promotional distribution of music has been established. Record companies make their music available as audio files and use the Internet as a distribution channel. In contrast to the conventional way of distributing promotional recordings, this kind of promotional distribution is faster and cheaper. Companies specializing in this type of promotion, such as zipDJ, EatDigital and Potboiler Promotions, have become more prominent in recent times.

Cheaper meaning oops you gotta pay....

Promotion definition by webster

the act of furthering the growth or development of something; especially : the furtherance of the acceptance and sale of merchandise through advertising, publicity, or discounting

No where in the definition does it say it has to be free.

So with that being said a promotional recording can also mean a recording use to promote an album, movie, charity, and other types of media or causes and so on but does not always have to be free. It seems to me both Zac and Tomica need to learn that definition better.
  • Sigh... This is an ongoing debate that has been discussed time and time again. A song doesn't have to have to be sent to radio stations or have a music video to be a single. A single is a song that is released separate from an album for sale. It's as simple as that. Promotional singles are distributed for free; the term comes from the old Promo CD singles that say "Promotional only – not for sale". This has already been reached by consensus.

promotional single issue continued

[edit]

To base something as a promotional single based on outdated promotional cd singles not released to the general public when there is more then one way a single is promotional is wrong based on the simple facts of A) Not all promotional cd singles are real and are fan made to make money. B) all promotional cd singles released are of songs that were released to radio and C) there is other forms of promotional singles. I am sorry but that false consensus is wrong and so is wikipedia.

Re: Love?

[edit]

Hehe! aww thanks Zac! Yes, I would like to get Love? to GA status. I think it needs a deep thorough copy edit, much like I did to Glassheart. I'm glad you want to do it together though. I dont think i'd have time alone. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 14:06, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah; I haven't really taken a look at it recently, but I'd think so too. Yes, of course! Amazing work on Glassheart by the way, it could easily become a GA right now and it doesn't come out until next month! Haha! Zac  21:56, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers Zac. I was so bored yesterday so I started with the singles section and before I knew it... it was like 2am and i'd done the whole article. Hopefully the idea is add critical reception and Glassheart should be ace for a GA. But people are funny usually they say don't GA until the promo for the album dies down. :( ... with regards to Love? I worry some of the refs might become dead/already be dead. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 22:02, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Haha, I know the feeling! Happened to me many times before! I can't really expect the promo for the album to be too heavy, and besides, I don't even see what that has to do with anything. I'm not much of a fan of having a section for all the times they appeared on a TV show, etc. to promote an album. I don't think it's going to be too much of an issue, since they are from a few years ago, they would probably be available on web.archive. I'll do a check right now.

Lindsay Lohan's Indian Journey GA

[edit]

Since I built the article, I would have appreciated if you notified me about your intention of nominating Lindsay Lohan's Indian Journey for GA. I reverted/modified a few of your edits I found problematic, I'm open for discussion if you disagree. Siawase (talk) 20:58, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've gotten no problems with your changes. Zac  22:16, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've reviewed the article. Perhaps both of you should comment there. Thanks. Till 04:13, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, that GA review flew by in a second. Since you closed the review before I had a chance to comment (I was asleep!) I guess I'll add my comments here. First of all, thanks to Zac for improving the article and to Till for reviewing it so quickly and thoroughly. Second, there's a reason I didn't nominate this article to GA sooner. It lacks context and assumes that readers are already familiar with Lohan and her issues. When I created the material it was intended for the Lindsay Lohan article, so I didn't include background that was already mentioned elsewhere in that article. So when the material was spun out to create this article, it only mentions that BBC was criticized for hiring her, but not why Lohan in particular would be problematic, that they were accused of doing image washing, but not what was problematic about her image to begin with. There might be more similar instances. Likely there is some background info in the existing sources, but summarizing her problems in a neutral and WP:BLP compliant way is delicate and often complex work, and I haven't had time. Siawase (talk) 10:50, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Update: I did a bit of an expansion based on the existing sources to address the issues I mentioned above. I think it's within WP:BLP and WP:GA but it would be great if either of you could look it over. Siawase (talk) 15:57, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I thought about adding some background information about her personal struggles, but then thought that 1) it would be quite hard to condense everything that happened to get the reader to fully understand and 2) everybody, basically, knows of what has happened in her life. I think your expansion just now gets rid of the need to go in such detail, and just gives the reader a little bit of information about it, just in case they weren't aware. I think it looks great. Yes, Till reviewed the article rather quick; I didn't expect that. Cheers, Zac  16:12, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for looking it over. I actually know people who don't even know who Lohan is. Admittedly, it's unlikely they'd stumble on this particular article, but nevertheless, the details of her personal struggles really aren't on the "sky is blue" level of common knowledge. I tried to add just enough to give context to the criticism, and I agree the article shouldn't go further in depth on Lohan's bio, positive or negative. Especially since the documentary was supposed to not be about her. Siawase (talk) 17:04, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Its good to branch outside music. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 19:03, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, well, I haven't ever done a TV network article before, so I have no idea what should be included or not. Don't think it will happen anytime soon. The article was a complete mess before. No, you didn't! Lucky! Yes, we need some new pics on the 'Pedia. It was so great to get the Pop Festival ones, but that's all that we got! Well, that's basically all she does. Haha. I can't believe she considered doing Idol and releasing Love? focusing on her music career. She said now her focus is shifting over the acting (and I guess, television). Zac  19:06, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think people really bought the "On the Floor" concept.. you know classic JLO in 2012. But if she has another album in 2013-14 she needs a new concept. People won't buy an OTF knock off again. I think she should go and be more like J/K-pop stars. Focus on her acting and every so often release a mini-album. I.e. an EP of 8 songs, promoted with two singles. People generally speaking don't seem interested in a full length studio album by the Lopez any more. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 19:12, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deacon Sharpe

[edit]

Hi there. I saw the edit you made to Deacon Sharpe a while back, saying you were "cleaning up the infobox." First of all, for occupations, all are to be listed. Former occupations are relevant, but the word "former" is not to be used. A lot of soap articles currently violate that term but I'm working on it. And another thing, when a character has starred on two or more soaps, we don't write out the full series title next to their appearances, we use their abbreviation. We link it next to the durations and then just write it in italics next to the appearances. Just thought I'd let you know in case you were going to be editing soap articles. If you have any questions regarding this, please let me know. Thanks! Creativity97 (TALK) 13:45, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Glassheart / Single Dates

[edit]

I was hugely confused by your edits. You listed 12 September 2012 as the first release date for "Trouble", when all this stuff was discussed previously it was agreed that the first PURCHASE date is the release date whereas the radio add date is the servicing date. In the UK/Ireland this has even more prominence and airplay has zero direct impact on the charts. A song which is number one on airplay carries no weight as to whether the song is number one on the singles chart as it simply isn't a component of the singles chart. There's no official airplay monitoring. Therefore particularly for where a song's first release is the UK/Ireland the purchase date should be used. As for premieres, well lots of GA/FA articles have the premiere date listed in the release history. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 12:32, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Does that mean if a song (in a UK) is sent to radio it's not a single... like this one? — Tomica (talk) 18:22, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Not necessarily. With digital tracks (songs that can be downloaded directly from an album) being added to UK radio doesn't directly influence the chart position but if a fan hears the song they might find themselves wanting to download the song. But its not as explicit or clear cut. I keep saying to people WP:DUCK ... if it quacks like a duck it probably is one! Equally each song should be taken on its own merit, i.e. are there reliable third-party and direct label sources which refer to the song as a single? My issue with the Glassheart stuff was all to do with the fact they have radio premieres in addition to purchase dates, the greater preference is given to the latter. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 23:00, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2012 September newsletter

[edit]

We're over half way through the final, and so it is less than a month until we know for certain our 2012 WikiCup champion. Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions) currently leads, followed by Canada Sasata (submissions), Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) and Scotland Casliber (submissions). However, we have no one resembling a breakaway leader, and so the competition is a long way from over. Next month's newsletter will feature a list of our winners (who are not necessarily only the finalists) and keep your eyes open for an article on the WikiCup in a future edition of The Signpost. The leaders are already on a par with last year's winners, but a long way from the huge scores seen in 2010. That said, a repeat of the competition from 2010 seems unlikely.

It is good to see that three-quarters of our finalists have already scored bonus points this round. This shows that, contrary to criticism that the WikiCup has received in the past, the competition does not merely incentivise the writing of trivial articles; instead, our top competitors are still spending their time contributing to high-importance articles, and bringing them to a high standard. This does a great service to the encyclopedia and its readers. Thank you, and good work!

The planning for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Some straw polls have been opened concerning the scoring, and you can now sign up for next year's competition. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hey Zac! Sorry for not helping around, college has been keeping me busy. Anyways, I tried looking for the year-end charts, but the song didn't perform well-enough on Hot Latin Songs or Dance Songs to appear on the list and the Latin Pop year-end for 2007 doesn't appear on the site for some reason. If it's alright, I at least included info regarding the recording for the salsa version of the song, but I don't know if it's relevant. Erick (talk) 02:26, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's alright. Me and Harold have been working at it. I didn't realize the salsa version was re-recorded! Of course it's relevant! Thanks for adding the info, I had no idea. Hope everything's going well! Zac  02:30, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Haha yeah well, if you ever listened to it, you could tell by the instruments and the added lyrics to the song. :P They used that version on my tropical/salsa radio station here in FL. BTW, I also added accolades to the song as well. Erick (talk) 04:07, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Taylor Swift discography

[edit]

Please explain to me a logical reason why that template needs to be atop the page. That page has only been edited 7 times today and nothing is major. The template itself says to remove it if the page hasn't been edited "in several hours", and you just want it to stay on the page permanently? That template is used when a user is making a major overhaul over a short period of time to avoid edit conflicts. It also says "If you are the editor who added this template, please be sure to remove it or replace it with 'Underconstruction' between editing sessions", which you neglect to do.

Additional DAT dates

[edit]

Hi Zac. A while ago two additional tour dates were added to the Australian leg. It's not confirmed on her official website because they were added because of the overwhelming response to her initial planned shows. Even though it's not on her diary please leave it. Tickets are out. I bought three for the second added concert to Melbourne anyway..Lol. —ArreJLover 09:38, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's not the reason they haven't been added yet, she's added second dates to the tour that are on the post. Her site is just a complete mess when it comes to putting out dates. Since the source is reliable (and not just the damn website where you can buy tickets, like some tried to keep adding), I think it's fine for the time being. Zac  15:56, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But i won't add it cause u'll just remove it. Sigh —ArreJLover 06:15, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Peer Review

[edit]

Hello. I have nominated the article Because of You (Kelly Clarkson song) as a FA candidate. If you are willing, I would like to get your review of the article. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks a lot. — My December (talk) 15:14, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Glassheart

[edit]

What do you think of the snippets. I think its about 3/5. Some really strong songs but some not so. It needed more features I think. There's clearly something missing on some of the songs e.g. "Fireflies". Don't like the credits (the way they've been released!), haha I know it sounds petty but I hope they appear better in the album booklet! — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 00:04, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think it sounds amazing! I've never really been a fan of Leona, but I started following her a bit after "Collide" came out, and then "Trouble" just slayed me. "Glassheart" sounds like the best for me (and yes, I've listened to the full version.) We'll see, they are a bit weird. Hopefully, they're a bit awkward. Zac  00:07, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've been dying to hear the full version! How did you do that? I'm in love with "Un Love Me", "Fireflies", "I to You" and "When it Hurts"! It does sound like a proper follow up to Spirit. I'll pretend Echo was Leona's Born this Way. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 00:11, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I love the whole album. Its her best by far! Could you comment at the discussion about critical reviews at Talk:Glassheart if you get chance? — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 15:57, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Zac

[edit]

Hi Zac. I just slightly changed some things on Jennifer Lopez's Image and Legacy...before u revert, pls have a look ;). Thanks. —ArreJLover 01:49, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Image is looking good. Going through legacy, I'm noticing that some of the content is repeated earlier in the article. Starting on fixing it up. Zac (talk · contribs) 02:03, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ok . I also added Instruments: vocals and conga. What is repeated? —ArreJLover 02:04, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Where's the source for the latter? And I'm not sure if vocals count as an instrument. You know where you should be right now... Zac (talk · contribs) 02:07, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Forgive me i still need to download Google talk on my new laptop. Do you have skype? Yes vocals do count as an instrument. I was going to source it but then how? I hate putting sources in info-boxes. We all know she plays them. —ArreJLover 02:10, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I do. First five letters of my last name, followed by a Z and a 28. Zac (talk · contribs) 02:12, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Why did you split Legacy again. Too many headings. Just make it one section. I liked the wax figure pic in Image. —ArreJLover 02:14, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just for the time being. It's easier to edit that way. Just removed it for the time being. Zac (talk · contribs) 02:16, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

re: m. 2012

[edit]

the 'm' is redundant when he is already listed as her 'spouse', and yes i'm quite aware that 2012 is the present, but when people read it in a 1 year or 5 years from now, it won't be 2012 anymore, leaving present on there is an open ended way of saying they are still together.Lady Lotus (talk) 02:39, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't 1 or 5 years from now. As I said, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. "M" is not redundant. It's the proper way to list married couples. I don't know where you're getting your information from, but it's all wrong. Zac (talk · contribs) 02:42, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not saying wikipedia is a crystal ball, I'm saying when people read it in a time thats NOT 2012, it needs to be "present" or changed if they get divorced. and yes, the 'm' standing for 'married' when he is her 'spouse' which only applies when people get married. it is A way to list married couples, but not in infoboxes. Lady Lotus (talk) 02:47, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There's no better way to explain this to you. If you don't get it, you don't get it. Zac (talk · contribs) 02:48, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well I could explain it to you but I'll let the Template:Infobox person do it for me. If you could look at the section where it says SPOUSES. But I'll skip you a step and quote it where it says "Use the format Name (1950–present) for current spouse and Name (1970–1999) for former spouse(s)". Anything more clear than that? Lady Lotus (talk) 02:56, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And you still don't get the concept of 2012 being the current year... Zac (talk · contribs) 02:58, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Still being 2012 has nothing to do with it, it's the proper format to use, there is no other way around that. Lady Lotus (talk) 03:02, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

[edit]
The Barnstar of Recovery
Hi Zac! We don't really do much together here anymore but I just decided to give you this barnstar because of all the rescuing you have done to many articles including Jennifer Lopez-related articles. You saved many and even turned them into amazing articles. Your work on Jennifer Lopez: Feelin' So Good is a great example of this. You've taught me a lot, and I really appreciate you. Arre 04:36, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Aww, thank you very much Arre! It means a lot to me! I've learned a lot from you as well! You know that's gonna have to change soon. Zac (talk · contribs) 04:37, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You're so welcome! :) Aw thanks. Yes it is! we never finished the On the 6 era articles. Arre 04:45, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I need to finish up the last 3 songs articles from the Love? era, and then I will move on to other eras. We got to get "If You Had My Love" and "Waiting for Tonight" done. Also, I'd like for us to take her main article to peer review in December. Zac (talk · contribs) 04:50, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, cool, which ones are you doing? Yes we do. By the way i was wondering, does Image go under artistry? Arre 05:03, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"I'm Into You" (live performances is the only thing left to be added), "Papi" (a bit of expansion here and there) and "Fresh Out the Oven" (a little more expansion). No because artistry is a "creative skill or ability". Zac (talk · contribs) 05:05, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
ah, okay. Thanks for clarifying that with me. Hey, I was bored so i did some work on the 2002-04 section of Jen's article. Have a look? I included info about her break-down. Hope it's okay. Arre 06:07, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. Looks good. If you're ever so bored, how about trying to recreate the fragrance articles in your sandbox? I'm going to bed now; I'll talk to you later. Zac (talk · contribs) 06:26, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Yea, okay I'll think about that. I wish we still had the fragrance pages. Would you like me to re-write/fix the 99-2001 sec too? the dates are all kinda scattered/unorganized. Arre 06:34, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's fine, I got that under control. How about expanding the Choreography and music videos section? It seems a bit short. The length like Celebrity status and image would be ideal. Zac (talk · contribs) 06:37, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the article again, I'm unsure why I've stated December. I have a five-day weekend next month. Seems like a good time to get the article up for peer review. And there really isn't much work left to do on the article. Zac (talk · contribs) 06:41, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Yea sure I'll start gathering some sources about choreography and her music videos. Arre 06:46, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Don't go too overboard on the music videos. Just the main points of them, and mention of a few that are considered her most iconic. Zac (talk · contribs) 06:48, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I won't Arre 06:51, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Think you can also find more for her musical influences, and add some of her acting (or dancing, or business, whatever) influences? The separate section is back! Zac (talk · contribs) 06:56, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Amazing Pic

[edit]

Hey, I saw this [File:Jennifer Lopez 12, 2012.jpg]. Do you think it's good for her info-box? I think it looks less awkward without her mouth open, and we can see all of her facial features. What do u think? Arre 12:00, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: List of frequent Tim Burton collaborators

[edit]

Really you were?, I wouldn't have expected you to create an article like that. :) I figured I would do it because the actor chart was removed from Burton's main page, because it was too large. I have been watching Tim Burton movies all this month, he's one of my favorite film directors. Whatever edits you want to make to the article, feel free. :) QuasyBoy (talk) 20:03, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is beyond weird, I thought the exact same thing! I saw the David Lynch list, and I was like "Damn! I remember a list of that was removed from Tim Burton's article. I should do an article for it!". He is one of my favorites as well. Zac (talk · contribs) 20:05, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, the David Lynch list gave me the idea, too. :P What's your favorite Burton film, mine is Edward Scissorhands, no contest. QuasyBoy (talk) 20:11, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It was Alice in Wonderland, until I (finally) saw Edward Scissorhands over the summer. I was always a fan of his, but I had never seen his older movies until this summer when I watched a bunch of them. Zac (talk · contribs) 20:13, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I heard Alice in Wonderland wasn't very good. I'm about to watch that and Dark Shadows, which I also heard was poor. I watched Sweeney Todd last night, its so good. :) But yeah, a lot Burton's older films are better. QuasyBoy (talk) 20:20, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Whoever said that needs to be shot in the face... it's a great movie. Yes, Sweeney Todd is so great. I need to see it again soon. I haven't seen Dark Shadows yet; the blu-ray will be on Christmas list. xD Zac (talk · contribs) 20:22, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'll take your word about Alice, then. :) I'll watch Dark Shadows and let you know what I think about it. QuasyBoy (talk) 20:28, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Would you like to nominate the article for FLC with me? (Of course, when it's done.) A better lead and recurring crew is all that appears to be needed. Zac (talk · contribs) 20:40, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, no problem. :) QuasyBoy (talk) 20:41, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so I saw Alice. Visually its a great film, but besides that, there's not much going for it. Its just OK, to me. As for Dark Shadows, its alright, its a pretty typical Tim Burton/Johnny Depp collaboration. If you like their previous films together, you'll like it, but its nothing special. Now that I have seen every Tim Burton feature film, Here are my top 10 favorites of his. 1. Edward Scissorhands, 2. Big Fish, 3. Ed Wood, 4. Beetlejuice, 5. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, 6. Sleepy Hollow, 7. Mars Attacks!, 8. Batman, 9. Pee-wee's Big Adventure and 10. Corpse Bride.

I heard Frankenweenie was really good, it comes out home video in January, I'm gonna check it then. QuasyBoy (talk) 05:44, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me? Don't you dare talk down to me. If you don't understand why, that's not really my problem. If you think that if a studio album includes a DVD on its deluxe edition is a video album than you clearly aren't aware of what a video album actually is. Zac (talk · contribs) 16:47, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I endorse the previous comment. A video album is an album which main content is made up in video format. An album with a deluxe edition including a DVD is not a video album by any means, it's just "a deluxe edition with a DVD". — ṞṈ™ 16:50, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Albums with bonus DVDs would be the correct category for that. Zac (talk · contribs) 16:51, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Particularly "If you choose to respond". Zac (talk · contribs) 12:30, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have stroke out my comment, I was quite upset at the time, I do apologize. But basically, an album with a deluxe edition including a DVD is not a video album, it's just "a deluxe edition of an album with a DVD". Zac (talk · contribs) 12:35, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Video albums So if In Time and In View were sold together in one jewel case, then the latter would cease to be a video album due to packaging? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:26, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If all formats of the release were together, than it would be, yes, it would be considered a "Greatest hits album / Video album" in the infobox. But if there is a standard edition and then a deluxe with a DVD, like Dance Again... the Hits, it is not considered as such. Zac (talk · contribs) 19:30, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lana Del Rey

[edit]

Hi. Persona's are key to careers. If they don't have sources, why don't you TRY to source them instead of removing them? That's lazy. Also, years are the years they were recorded, not released. That's kind of common sense. --MrIndustry (talk) 20:12, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They aren't, especially when most of them "N/A", which is impossible. I'm not obliged to look for a source, the person who wants them added is. None of the citations have sources for them being recorded in such a year. The released songs section calls of when they are released, so it has been consistent. Zac (talk · contribs) 20:14, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
N/A = not available. --MrIndustry (talk) 20:27, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Britney Spears discography

[edit]

I did specify why I was removing that info from Britney Spears discography page, more specifically from her "Compilation albums" section on her Discography page, I will paste here exactly what I wrote in justification for the edit: "This section was a piece of s*** with many unofficial, unnecessary and uncalled for albums listed. She only has four official compilations/remixes albums, GH:MP, B In The Mix Vols 1 and 2 and The Singles Collection,", that section has boxes and special editions of albums which are completely a waste of space and 200% unnecessary information.

Britney on S&M Remix

[edit]

Hi, Britney got credit as a feat. act on S&M Remix, please don't remove it again from her discography. There are many articles saying she got the credit for that, I will add it again with a source (http://www.billboard.com/#/news/weekly-chart-notes-rihanna-katy-perry-paul-1005148452.story). As you can see the song charted as Rihanna featuring Britney Spears, then it is part of Britney's discography too. Thanks--Albes29 (talk) 08:20, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, you weren't meant to be reverted. You were just caught in the crossfire of someone removing sourced information. Zac (talk · contribs) 15:45, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OK, Thanks. I think that happened again. I added S&M Remix again. --Albes29 (talk) 20:24, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Genie in a Bottle

[edit]

Hey haha I did try to finish the "Genie in a Bottle" I think I lost motivation :) Would you been open to collaborating it and finishing it? -FeuDeJoie (talk) 21:15, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lotus

[edit]

Not that it matters that much I guess but I think the list that you are basing all of the songwriting/producer credit off of isn't 100% correct. I think BMI is much more of a reliable source and Jamie Hartman himself tweeted that he co-wrote Army of Me with Phil Bentley, which matches the BMI listing. http://twitter.com/jamiehartman/status/261220229043073025 His account is verified as well. + a second tweet he made says the Tracklacers at least co-produced the track yet they are no where to be found on these supposed "Sony" credits and neither is Phil Bentley.

Reception

[edit]

Hey Zac. Do you know where I could get reception info for I'm Gonna Be Alright? I am re-doing the page but i can't find any reception. I thought maybe you might have a link. Thanks, Arre 06:56, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Great job on the article! No, I don't. I haven't gotten around to looking for that era yet. Love? is almost done and then I want to focus on On the 6. Do you think you can focus on expanding the On the 6 era songs like you did on "I'm Gonna Be Alright"? We already have a great background section for that era, so the articles wouldn't need that much left. "Feelin' So Good" is in pretty bad shape. Once the On the 6 era is done, I can't wait to get to J.Lo! Zac (talk · contribs) 14:13, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2012 October newsletter

[edit]

The 2012 WikiCup has come to a close; congratulations to Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions), our 2012 champion! Cwmhiraeth joins our exclusive club of previous winners: Dreamafter (2007), jj137 (2008), Durova (2009), Sturmvogel 66 (2010) and Hurricanehink (2011). Our final standings were as follows:

  1. Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions)
  2. Canada Sasata (submissions)
  3. Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions)
  4. Scotland Casliber (submissions)
  5. New York City Muboshgu (submissions)
  6. Wisconsin Miyagawa (submissions)
  7. Minnesota Ruby2010 (submissions)
  8. Michigan Dana Boomer (submissions)

Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.

Awards will be handed out in the coming days; please bear with us! This year's competition also saw fantastic contributions in all rounds, from newer Wikipedians contributing their first good or featured articles, right up to highly experienced Wikipedians chasing high scores and contributing to topics outside of their usual comfort zones. It would be impossible to name all of the participants who have achieved things to be proud of, but well done to all of you, and thanks! Wikipedia has certainly benefited from the work of this year's WikiCup participants.

Next year's WikiCup will begin in January. Currently, discussions and polls are open, and all contributions are welcome. You can also sign up for next year's competition. There will be no further newsletters this year, although brief notes may be sent out in December to remind everyone about the upcoming competition. It's been a pleasure to work with you all, and we hope to see you all in January! J Milburn (talk • email) and The ed17 (talk • email) 00:23, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

School District 53 Okanagan Similkameen

[edit]

Hi Status! Do you think School District 53 Okanagan Similkameen would be a good candidate for featured list status, as right now I'm afraid it doesn't pass 3b of the featured list criteria. This is the only article for this, and it can't be merged into anything, however, I personally believe it passes, but am not sure of what others think. Do you think it does? Thoughts? Thanks so much, TBrandley 03:12, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how it could be merged into anything else, so I'd say go for it! Statυs (talk) 03:23, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I also asked NapHit, so first I'll see what he thinks, then nominate it. Cheers! TBrandley 03:26, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you replace the image I uploaded, twice, when there was nothing wrong with the one I had uploaded. You wouldn't even explain it in either of your edit summaries. Do you have an issue with me, or the things I upload? livelikemusic my talk page! 23:26, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like you have a problem with me... I uploaded a less sharp version and you reverted. Statυs (talk) 23:31, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Because you didn't even explain the change. If you had explained why, I wouldn't have reverted. Seemed to me that you were just doing it because of me, since I didn't see any issue with the quality of the one I uploaded. It was crisp and clear. That's all I wanted to know, thanks. livelikemusic my talk page! 19:36, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's good. I would prefer if each of the same sites or used, and I like Still one better, so could you upload Glow from the same source? Statυs (talk) 13:00, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh okay, cool :). Yea, that's true. I'll see if they have one for Glow. Any other perfumes u want me to work on for her? It was actually kinda fun working on Still, because it is my fave JLo perfume! Arre 13:57, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You know how many she has. xD Pick one. Preferably in order. Obviously all the flankers will stay in one article, like how Glow is. Statυs (talk) 14:01, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'd love to the Live and do its flankers on its page, like how Glow is done. Not that into Deseo. By the way there was a pic of Glow on the site but it's dark even though it's good quality. Arre 14:07, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, not a very good pic. Let's just worry about the pics of the perfumes later, when all the articles are up. Live sounds great to do next! It's next in order, too, if I'm correct (she has so many I lose track). I can do Deseo! Statυs (talk) 14:09, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yea. By the way, Estée Lauder are idiots! did you know that? I never knew that they rejected making Glow. Yea u can do Deseo. Then we can move onto Love & Glamour. Glowing is such a loner I wonder if she will make a flanker called Shining or sth Lol. Arre 14:19, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Bruno Mars discography/archive1

[edit]
  • Not being rude, just telling the truth. Again ignoring valid comments/concerns isn't helping and this could have probably been finished and promoted with no further problems a long time ago but of course the WP:IDHT-attitude has to interfere and ruin it. What a shame! Till 13:03, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Again, the only comments I ignored were yours, and you know damn well why. Give me a break. As usual, you're in here with your rude behavior. I don't fail or refuse to get any point. "In some cases, editors have perpetuated disputes by sticking to an allegation or viewpoint long after the consensus of the community has decided that moving on to other topics would be more productive." This is an FLC. Everybody has different views of what should be done. Statυs (talk) 13:09, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • I actually don't know why but whatever. Btw, I actually went on wikibreak cause this irritated me, but now I'm actually quite pleased to see it, as it shows that I've had some impact on your life that you would do that for me. :) And again, why haven't my issues been addressed? Till 13:16, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • I literally said above it, please re-read. Oh, you retired because I was keeping track of you? I thought it was because you realized how far you were on to attacking me, so you had to stop so you weren't blocked. It's funny to me that you'd still think I'd resolve any issues you point out, after all of this. I wish you'd just leave me alone, I'd like to do the same. If you have a problem with someone you leave them be. Statυs (talk) 13:20, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Honestly you really do have the maturity of an eight year old. "I wish you'd just leave me alone" - hypocrite. You insist on me leaving you alone and yet all you do is file ANI reports on me, keep track of my edit summaries, stalk my contributions, comment on things that I comment on, and just constantly follow everything that I do here. Such a massive hypocrite. If you ever wonder why so many other editors have had problems with you here, then take a look in the mirror. As the saying goes - don't dish it out if you can't take it. In simple terms; if you want me to leave you alone, then don't keep track of my edit summaries and plan ANI reports about me. Kthanksbai. Till 13:48, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • I filed one ANI report against you, and that is indeed true. How has Swifty had a problem with me? He's a friend of mine, and I still talk to him daily following his indef block. It's late there, and I have to go to school soon, but within the next 5 days, which I have off, I wish to speak with you (not on here). Good move at moving to my talk, by the way.

Phillip Phillips' Home

[edit]

If you are unaware of American Idol tradition, the winner digital single is for the always released the day after the finale night. This one happens to be included in the album, but it is the single. The new one is exactly the same recording, the only difference with the new one is that it has a new picture. It doesn't mean the single was released in June, it only means that that one with new picture was released that day. Hzh (talk) 00:29, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am fully aware of "Idol tradition", thank you very much. I'm just going by the sources. It was released as a single (which is a song released APART from an album) on that date. Simple. Statυs (talk) 00:31, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Note that on iTunes itself it said the single was released on May 23, 2012 - Phillip Phillips. This is the same article as the one on Allmusic. Also Billboard said it is the single in an article written in May 30, 2012 here, before the June date. Hzh (talk) 01:57, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
All those dates show to be correct to its first release on the album, again, not as a single. Evidence doesn't show it's SINGLE release, which is what the article is about, until June 7th. Statυs (talk) 02:19, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Must you be so difficult?

[edit]

It's quite clear that I don't want those unproductive comments on your talk page. Why are you being so deliberately counterproductive by reverting me? Till 09:44, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't wish to talk to me, why must you? I'm entitled to keep any comments I like on my talk page, it's my talk page, not yours. I don't know what I've done to you between now and a few days ago when you seemed fine to have a nice heart to heart with me. Statυs (talk) 09:47, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nice heart, what on earth are you on about? I called you a hypocrite and a child. Till 09:49, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Re-read please. Statυs (talk) 09:52, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
??? There wasn't one. Till 09:55, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I expressed my interest, didn't I? And now I ask you what has happened since then, as you seemed fine with that. Statυs (talk) 09:58, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Expressed your interest in what? You wanted to talk to me, I said I can't, you said you were sorry, and I ignored you. Still don't see anything. Till 10:00, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, so you don't care? Then why are you still pestering me? Statυs (talk) 10:05, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • You can't pretend that I don't exist and I can't ignore your forever because we have too much history, I mean we spent day-by-day talking to each other for goodness sake. However what is possible is to remove those nonsense comments above that I was trying to get rid of and this thread too and just start fresh again for the benefit of both of us. As you can see I'm already trying to rebuild frienships with someone else and I really don't want to waste any more time on this project with fights about the most silly, superficial things that have absolutely no value at all (sometimes even about nothing, literally <see above>) so I am asking you to remove these stupid comments and for both of us to walk away from this dead horse and be on good terms. Thankyou. Till 10:19, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not the one still picking fights with you, I expressed wanting to start afresh with you, and according to yourself, you "ignored [me]". Statυs (talk) 10:22, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    That was 4 days ago. This is today. Till 10:23, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    And we haven't spoken since. I asked what had happened. Statυs (talk) 10:24, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Nothing happened omg i'm just trying to stop having fights about stupid things. Till 10:26, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    OMG and now we're having a fight about having fights about stupid things. Statυs (talk) 10:28, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    In my defense though, you said leave me alone and five minutes later said sorry... so if I ignored you at that time it was proabably because I was confused but I guess it has taken me 4 days to reach a settlement. Till 10:30, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    I understand. My "settlement" was reached within a five minute period, but I understand. Statυs (talk) 10:34, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay I removed the nasty comments at the Colourblind Afd, now can you please remove (or at least archive) this thread and the thread above that I attempted to remove. And can you delete the tracking of my edit summaries please. Then all this can be put behind us. Till 10:37, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

[edit]

Whatsup man? Been a while. I was wondering if you could take a few minutes and do a review at the The Emancipation of Mimi FAC? I'm struggling to get activity to I'm trying to round up any of my old peeps that are still active!--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 08:27, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It has been quite a while! I'm pretty good, how have you been? I would, but I know that I'm not experienced enough for such a high level as FAC; sorry. I'm sure you'll get some comments too. I have been meaning to ask you, would you like to work on "Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To)" together? Both mine and your girl have recorded a cover of the song. It's really the only song article left that needs expansion for (my eventual) plan to get On the 6 to become a good topic. Let me know. I don't have time at the moment, but down the road aways. Statυs (talk) 15:09, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Been good man, tryina get back into the swing of things :) It seems like an interesting idea, but there's some issues maybe you can help out on. 1). Do either of us know shit about Diana Ross lol? That's the main part of the article. 2). Do you think we'll find sufficient information to write appropriate sections each of our favs? Lemme know what you think ;)--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 03:01, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I don't. xD But that never stopped me from working on things before. I did the "Jai Ho" article without knowing much about AR, haha. I don't think there would be for JLO, but Mariah released her version as a promo single, so maybe. Statυs (talk) 03:13, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Drinks for You (Ladies Anthem)

[edit]

what do you think of the song? Arre 12:40, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't heard it yet. Statυs (talk) 14:34, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I will leave a critic commentary here. The song has a very good beat and sound, but the lyrics are not living up to standard [mostly Pitbull's part]. The vocal performance of Lopez is astonishing in my opinion, very sexy and stylish. Althoguh, some repetitiveness damage what could have been an amazing song. It has potential as a hit, but it won't follow the success of "On the Floor" or "Give Me Everything". — ΛΧΣ21™ 16:09, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's an OK song! Of course, Pitbull has to go and ruin everything he touches as usual. Although, that's sort of a lie, because "On the Floor" and "Give Me Everything" are both amazing songs. I would have liked it better if it wasn't so alcoholic-like. One moment, we are just drinking on the weekend to relax after a long week, and then we just decide to drink every single day of the week! Statυs (talk) 01:08, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm only here for J.Lo's part. But atleast I can stand Pitbull's part. I like the song it's so different to other generic crap. But it will definitely not be a hit. Don't think it will be a single. Great description, "astonishing" "sexy and stylish" ~true. Arre 01:36, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of Ringer episodes

[edit]

Hi. In response to your message to me earlier, WP:TVPLOT suggests that, in a short summary outside of the episode article itself (if there is one or not, doesn't matter), it should be from "100–200 words for each, with upwards of 350 words for complex storylines", it doesn't really matter if there is an episode article or not. If it has an actual episode article, then it should be more words says that same guideline, but in this case, it should be "100–200 words for each, with upwards of 350 words for complex storylines", as already said. "The plot summary is an overview of the episode's main events, so avoid minutiae like dialogue, scene-by-scene breakdowns, individual jokes and technical detail" says that guideline if it helps, and don't hide spoilers per WP:SPOILERS (just in case it is). In your list, most seem good, but some are too long, such as episode 22 summary. I'd be inclined to give a peer review, and I thank you for modelling it of off my list. I have made minor changes, as you probably know. Cheers, TBrandley 21:24, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply. I'm not familiar with WP:TVPLOT, thanks for pointing that out for me. I'm not too familiar with TV articles, but I wanted to give it a go for one of my favorite shows. The first two episode summaries were rewritten, do those seem like a good length and dept? Yeah, episode 22... haha. You're most welcome, and thank you so much for using that date tool! OMG! I haven't heard of it before, so I got it working for me, and it's so damn helpful! Statυs (talk) 21:27, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, the first, even five, look very good, and your welcome. Yeah, I love working with television articles, and lately other ones as well. And about the script, no problem, and that's not the only useful script. There's also a dash, overlinking, general formatting, advisor script, and more, see User:TBrandley/vector.js for my other good scripts. They're very good. Back to the list, I will be providing a peer review here shortly. Cheers, TBrandley 21:57, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Aww, thank you very much! I'll take a look at what else I can steal, haha. Statυs (talk) 22:00, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here's my quick review, I took at look at everything other than episode plot summaries. Looks pretty good overall:

  • The featured list criteria is against the use of non-free use rationale images. Any other replacement images?
  • Avoid periods in image captions that aren't full sentences
  • I would say there is too much plot details in the lede, and too little other information, such as production, reception information and such
  • Also, first paragraph should be split into two, as it is a really bigger paragraph
  • Could writers and directors be referenced?
  • Reference problems; "TV Line" should be "TVLine"; "TVbytheNumbers" should be "TV by the Numbers"
  • How is "Contactmusic" a high-quality reliable source?

Please stop removing reliable sources and referenced content

[edit]

I have only noticed your edits twice recently and twice you have removed perfectly valid content and sources. Here you removed a huge chunk of content from - Home (Phillip Phillips song), claiming that it is unsourced when in fact some of those deleted content are in fact sourced, the content in the Critical reception was sourced to here. It looks like you never even look at the source before deleting it. If the reference wasn't done properly, then there is the citation need tag and other tags you can use. Here in Taylor Swift discography you revert sales number from perfectly valid sources, without giving proper rationale why that is not acceptable and that another outdated one would be preferable. Roughstock is a perfectly valid source, it is not less reliable than Billboard, they get their numbers from the same source which is SoundScan. Please try to engage in editing in a more positive manner. Hzh (talk) 01:20, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I removed unsourced content from "Home", and Roughstock is certainly not as reliable as Billboard is. Statυs (talk) 01:23, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The source of the numbers are the same - SoundScan, there is no such thing as "not as reliable" when their sources are the same. As I said, most of the content in Critical Reception for Home were actually sourced, if poorly done (they are not inline citation, but instead of deleting them, you should have used other tags instead). Hzh (talk) 01:31, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
A Blogspot blog could get their information from SoundScan, does that make it reliable for usage? They weren't sourced at all. Some people have different ways to deal with unsourced content, I, personally, just remove it. I have updated the sales for Red from a link from MTV. Statυs (talk) 01:33, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Roughstock is not just a blog. It is a magazine site for country music news, it existed before there were blogs. I have no idea what you mean by unsourced, these sites have to pay money to get those numbers, they can't invent them, and the numbers always tally with others (like Yahoo Music, Billboard, MTV) when it is possible to check and compare, meaning they are legitimate numbers. Hzh (talk) 01:47, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct. I've checked around about the website, and it seems quite reliable. I will not make that mistake again. Unsourced meaning that the content is there, without a source to where it is coming from. Thank you for your comments. Statυs (talk) 02:01, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edits in violation of mosdate

[edit]

A number of your edits, including [16] [17] [18], are in violation of mosdate, and WP:DATERET in particular. Also, by simply undoing, you removed other fixes I did in some of those edits. This constitutes notice that if you continue to change the established style of articles, you may be WP:BLOCKed without further warning. Gimmetoo (talk) 14:02, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've read those pages up and down, and don't see what you could possibly be talking about. Note that your reason for reverting me consisted of "undo", "." and "back"... Very good explanation. Statυs (talk) 14:04, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And if you're referring to the fact that I'm switching how the references are formatted on several articles I ACTUALLY CREATED (if you're talking about the major contributor thing, in which I AM in all the articles I changed). Statυs (talk) 14:05, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:DATERET. These articles evolved with a predominant style. Arbitrarily changing styles like that disregards the effort and time spent by numerous other editors, especially the main articles that have existed for years. Gimmetoo (talk) 16:27, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Seriously... I wasn't going around changing every format for every article in existence. I was changing the format of articles that I am the main contributor of. I get that you probably see this a lot (probably explains your lack of effort in explaining things), but you really need to assume some good faith, and not throw around "you may be blocked". Statυs (talk) 21:50, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to intrude, but I would just to comment that most of these articles (Jennifer Lopez discography, No Me Ames, etc) weren't compiled from years of hard work from numerous other editors. Status created some of them and substantially expanded most of them. Additionally, I have encouraged and even asked him to format dates this way per MOSNUM. It's just easier and more manageable.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Rihanna Diamonds World Tour.jpg)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Rihanna Diamonds World Tour.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

I've seen you around and you've been generally an awesome editor. Your work at GAs and FLs is remarkable and I value them. I also respect your decision to leave but I'd strongly suggest to reconsider this mate. It is undoubtedly a loss to the community if you leave. People get in conflicts and later move on, some editors might criticize or discourage you but giving up isn't the only option; just have to keep faith in yourself. I'd not like to add another name on my userpage so do have some second thoughts about this. All the best with real life! TheSpecialUser TSU 15:42, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
Status, I am very sorry that you are considering retirement and I hope that you will have the courage to stay with Wikipedia. If you do decide to leave, I respect, but you are a very good editor, with a number of featured articles, featured lists, and good articles in knowledge. Please don't leave criticisms and conflicts hurt you, however. So please enjoy some Tim Hortons cookies from Canada. They're delicious, especially with a nice hot chocolate along with it. Best wishes, enjoy real life, and happy December! TBrandley 17:47, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Response to everyone

[edit]

You guys are too sweet (just like the yummy food you've given me). It's very hard, with the loss in my family, and the stress from my final year of school, users also driving me wild; pestering and attacking me here on Wikipedia just becomes too much. I'm an emotional wreck right now, so try not to take me too seriously. I'll be here, not a little, not a lot; just here. I don't know how long that will be, but your kind words makes it feel that much better. When people literally tell you that you're a "blind", "ignorant" and inexperienced user, who, shouldn't have any user rights, you kind of lose faith in not only your contributions, but also "why do I even bother?". And with everything else going on, you know. Statυs (talk) 23:39, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm now aware of that discussion, and I can certainly see why you would be upset. I'm not exactly sure of the content, or what should or should not be included, but personal attacks aren't allowed. I'm very sorry again for your loss, and I hope you get better soon. Best of luck with school as well. TBrandley 23:55, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Never. And especially when the user said I was making things "personal" when all I did was revert his/her addition of WP:OR. Thank you TB. Statυs (talk) 23:57, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

[edit]

How are you? I would, like several others, like to send my condolences out to you and your whole family, as I appreciate that this may be a difficult time for you. I am mainly sending you this message as I implore you to ignore Till's incredibly insensitive and unkind comments about you ("He isn't worth the time or effort to put up with" and telling everyone "don't feel guilty because a "retirement consideration" notice has been put up"). Although I am aware of the history between the two of you, he has clearly not recognized that you are likely to be sensitive at this time, and should not be provoking you into dispute again at this time. You are both great editors, but he's crossed a line here. Again, please do not let him get to you, and certainly don't try and provoke him back.

If he's seriously pissing you off, I strongly recommend that you take a Wikibreak (as the ANIs don't seem to be helping) just to clear your mind of what is, in all honesty, not that important in the general scheme of things – there's life outside 4 million web pages. I don't want to seem intrusive, but I despise this sort of insensitivity from people and will not stand aside to simply watch this happen to you.

You've been a great editor, but if you choose to retire I completely understand. I hope these words are wise! (Oh, and the brownie was nice.) I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 21:33, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Christina Aguilera discography

[edit]

Oh hi Status, thanks for your message. But the single "Nobody Wants to be Lonely" by Xtina & Ricky Martin is a featured single (because "Nobody Wants... Lonely" does not appear on Xtina's album). Moreover, the song "I Hate Boys" is a promotional single, and "Beautiful" (with Beverly McChellin) and "The Prayer" (with Chris Mann) are not singles. You should deliver them to "Other charted songs". thanks! Trnhgduoc2222 (talk) 16:23, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a featured single. It is not "Ricky Martin featuring Christina Aguilera", it's a duet, therefore it is both of their songs. Unless you have a reliable source calling those promo singles, they aren't. Promo singles are made available for free, not to buy. That's how it works. A single is a song released apart from an album. That's all there is to it. Just because it didn't have a music video doesn't make it any less of a single.

Rankin/Bass Productions

[edit]

Hello Status. Recently I performed a technical move that was requested at WP:RM from Rankin/Bass Productions (company) to Rankin/Bass Productions. In your opinion, was this incorrect? The person who made the request said that 'company' was not needed for disambiguation since there was only one such. See rationale provided. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 06:50, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your comments on various talk pages are becoming disruptive, and I would advise you to take a break and tone it down a bit.

More specifically, your attempts at baiting another editor into a reaction at User talk:Malleus Fatuorum, and then slyly removing your baiting comments after you've induced such a reaction, is rankly deceitful and disruptive. As has been pointed out to you by another editor on that page, a strikeout will suffice if you wish to indicate that you've withdrawn the comment. If you remove it again, I will block you for disruptive editing.

I understand that you're a good content contributor and work well with articles. I advise that you return to the article namespace and continue your work there, and leave this all this Malleus nonsense behind. Basalisk inspect damage⁄berate 06:21, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can assure you that is not the case, as you suggest. I was confused by his statement, and responded. Just because there's been an overhaul of other users baiting Malleus, doesn't mean that I am one of them. I believe he is a great editor, but he has a very poor attitude, which he has shown in the comment in which I replied to. A little harsh, possibly, but baiting? That wasn't my intention. Nikkimaria (talk · contribs) removed the whole comment herself, and I simply restored the part in which was deemed acceptable, in her eyes. This user comes along and restores my comment without any given reason, so I revert it. Once. But anyways, I understand your main point and I already left that discussion an hour ago.  — Statυs (talk, contribs) 06:33, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. I appreciate your position and your willingness to walk away; I just think it's better for transparency that the comment isn't hidden. I will notify Nikkimaria of this discussion. Regards Basalisk inspect damage⁄berate 07:14, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine by me. As you can see, I was under the impression that it was to be removed.  — Statυs (talk, contribs) 07:15, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My edit

[edit]

Hello,

I was editing the justin bieber discography page by taking of a sentence that said that only gay people like him. This is completely innacurate and a form of cyberbullying.

Thank you for making wikipedia better! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.131.252.10 (talk) 06:59, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
