[edit] Nirvana album covers
Hey, wanted to let you know that this (i.e. using Image:NirvanaNevermindalbumcover.jpg on the Lounge Act article) doesn't jibe with the Wikipedia's WP:NONFREE requirements. Non-free material such as album covers can only be used in limited circumstances and then only with justifications (Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline). This is the cover for the Nevermind album itself, and it really cannot be extended to use on individual songs. These articles used to have this image on them but they were removed awhile ago. So you may as well remove the images, as someone (maybe myself if I have time) will be along to remove them anyways at some point. Tarc (talk) 18:34, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Billboard
Hi, when adding a charts heading, it should be "Chart positions" and not "Chart Positions" - see WP:HEAD. Also, only Billboard is italicised because it's a magazine. So it's [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] instead of ''Billboard 200''. And when linking "number one album", the "n" doesn't need to be capitalised. So basically, it's Billboard 200 number-one album. I know it's minor stuff, but I thought I'd tell you since you're doing this on many pages. Anyway, keep up the good work adding the banners!

- I've noticed you've been busy updating and adding succession boxes for Billboard 200 #1 albums. It is my understanding that the succession box is supposed to flow through the albums from one to the next, thus adding multiple boxes for the same album becomes redundant and circular. The boxes are not intended to list multiple runs at number one. Once an album is #1, only the first album that replaces it at #1 should be listed as the subsequent album. As a hypothetical example, suppose over a 20 week period, two albums alternate the top two spots on the album chart, we don't need 10 succession boxes to represent each 1 week run for each album. I believe the succession boxes should represent the chronological list of the albums, but not each successive run of an individual album. See Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975) and Frampton Comes Alive! for pages that I updated that may show what I mean. Wolfer68 (talk) 17:10, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your response. From my understanding of the succession boxes (at least for these #1 albums, songs types) is that you want to flow from one to the next. Say you start with Business as Usual, then you click on subsequent album, Thriller (album), then you go to Flashdance (soundtrack), but then you're going back to Thriller, then to Synchronicity (album). Thriller was already #1 so in order to flow the subsequent album for Flashdance should be Synchoncity not Thriller, otherwise it's circular.
I'm not too sure I like the term "run" either. Because technically it's the same run. The Twist, hitting #1 in 1960 and again in 1962, was two different runs, maybe just the dates at number 1 is enough, listing only the first subsequent album. User:Ericorbit made me aware of this.
