[edit] RE: Mariah Carey

First of all, YES, musical artists, engineers, producers, and writers are members of the music industry. Amateur journalists and disposable column 'writers' are NOT members of the music industry therefore their opinions are non foundational and only auxillary. As well, writers from Rolling Stone magazine are not memebers of-- or affiliated with-- the music industry. Your slanted article about Mariah Carey's voice from a fluke 1992 Rolling Stone article does not justify throwing the sincerity of M. Carey's vocal performances into a sweeping catagory of unabiltiy to showcase "true emotion through song." I enclosed the opinions of a myriad of field writers from the NARAS, a Grammy-award winning artist, an inspired fan-singer, a gaming magazine writer, and pop-culture tabloid columnist, and a music publishing representative author. The bias articles enclosed, before I submitted mine, were from extraneous writers outside of the music industry. Besides, anything any yellow journalist could ever conjure is nothing to the prestige of the NARAS.

And lasty, there's nothing wrong, unofficial, or informal about citing an interview source as the person who is being quoted, the place, and the date. Maybe you are unaware that a first-hand interview is more viable than anything published or documented. Perhaps you could do some research in your free time rather than being paranoid someone might submit better, more accurate information regarding articles on wikipedia.--The Knowledge 06:58, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What happened here?

Your page is messed up. Anyway, EM READ the Wiki rules. You cannot randomly change a main page's image when the TALK page SPECIFICALLY says to discuss the matter first. I own both images in question. If someone wants to debate if an image should be changed because "it looks like she's looking at her armpit", that should go for discussion and it would be shot down. End of discussion.

[edit] Before I blow my stack

First of all... ummm, ok I see your talk page, you are officially crazy.  :-P

Can you pleeeeeease keep your eyes on this guy? He added some extremely out-of-place and speculatory information to Pet Shop Boys discography and got very angry that I removed it. I don't think I was being too critical or mean, but I need an extra pair of eyes on it (if I was overstepping, please tell me). There's some lovely correspondence on our talk pages, if you're bored and want something insane to read. He seems intent on putting this info on the page and it really doesn't look right to me. Thanks in advance. - eo 22:24, 22 April 2007 (UTC) P.S. I don't know if "speculatory" is really a word.

[edit] Deleting my own discussion

It's my page!!!!! I thought it was to full so please get off my page...Thank you Electric Storm89 15:07, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I know whats on my talkpage but I just disagree. What a nice way of communicating through the historypage......I'll remember that one.

Haha...okay...whatever. You know I Have explained like a thousand times why I think that my versions in the pinkpage are better. But if you don't comment on that you shouldn't argue.

[edit] Best-selling albums by year (USA)

You added a merge tag on this article way back in December 2005. Since then it has been edited several hundred times, but there has been no discussion (other than my adds) since January 2006. I am going to remove the merge tag. I have done a LOT of work to fix that article, by removing all the extraneous junk, adding the 1956-1969 #1 albums, and adding a ref to every single item on the page. I think it can now stand on its own, rather than get merged into a related topic that has issues of its own. Horologium talk - contrib 03:59, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

You are right about the duplication, and I think it might be a good idea to merge it with Billboard Year-End, although that, like the original target, has some serious issues with accuracy. All of my cited albums have Billboard links, but the list does not track very closely to what is listed in Billboard Year-End. I'll go ahead and add the merge tags, but I will end up doing some heavy-duty editing on the Year-End page if the merge goes through. Horologium talk - contrib 20:33, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit]  ?

But many articles use UKMix as a reliable source. Plus, I just moved the Let's Dance pages because it annoyed me, and I don't know how to request. And they got the name wrong. There's no Anne in her music career name. Don't bother replying. It will only make me madder unless you have a very good explanation for the UKMic thing. And I ask you DO NOT tell me anything about the Let's Dance pages. That will just make me mad. If you want, you can tell me how to request, but don't say anything about Let's Dance.

[edit] Question

Through the tour-mail of Christina Aguilera it is known that Slow Down Baby will be the new single....but some-one has tagged the Slow Down Baby article to the Back To Basics page. How can you reverse that?

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:Zack_Files_US_S1_DVD_cover.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Zack_Files_US_S1_DVD_cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 17:53, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Joe_Elliott_in_Bringin'_on_the_Heartbreak_music_video.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Joe_Elliott_in_Bringin'_on_the_Heartbreak_music_video.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 21:50, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vanessa Carlton Navbox.

Really, you didn't have to change the layout. According to Template:Navbox musical artist, they don't look like what you changed it to. They're supposed to look like what I made it look like. Besides, it's prettier this way, isn't it? I'm gonna change it back, but i'll keep your additional changes to discography etc. Thanks — н¡ρρi iρρ¡ 08:49, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Love. Angel. Music. Baby.

Good to see you're back. Actually, another user took Love. Angel. Music. Baby. to FAC, and it's there right now. I haven't done too much with it recently since I wasn't planning on bringing it to FAC without a thorough lookthrough and some updating. The recently added "Impact on popular music" needs a copyedit badly and to be merged into another section, though I haven't given much thought as to the best way to organize that. I'll probably start revamping the article some once Hey Ya! is done with FAC and when I'm done working on the Lily Allen article, which I userfied so I can eventually nominate it for GA. If you get a chance to look at the article before then, that'd be really helpful. Thanks for the link too; I've seen the article, and it had some helpful content for some of the articles. ShadowHalo 18:25, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I almost forgot. I started an Eight Easy Steps article because it's a good song, but I couldn't find too many sources for the article. Since you've worked with Alanis' articles, I figured you might know of some more sources with which to expand it. ShadowHalo 22:03, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Not Too Late

You left a message on my talk page:

Hi. I was just wondering why you changed the format "February 10 – 2007-03-17" back to "2007-02-10 – 2007-03-17" - my rationale for my edit was that if the two dates occurred in the same year, it's redundant to mention the year for both of them. Extraordinary Machine 23:01, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

The reason I added the year is because otherwise the date formatting doesn't work, as can be seen in the quote above (rendered using my date formatting preferences). --PEJL 23:09, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't affect only ISO date formats, it affects all date formats other than the "Month Day, Year" format (i.e. all registered users who have set a date formatting preference other than that format). With a UK date setting it would be rendered as "February 10 – 17 March 2007". I dug up an old discussion about this here. (Since then the guideline for en dashes has changed to make it more explicit that the en dash in such ranges should be spaced.) --PEJL 23:55, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Oops, I guess I just assumed it wouldn't change the formatting of month-day dates with the UK setting since it doesn't with the ISO setting. Thanks for letting me know. --PEJL 18:54, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Los 10+ Pedidos

I left a comment in the talk page of that article. Just wanna make you know that MTV Latinamerica is divided in three feeds: MTV Norte (Mexico), MTV Centro (Colombia) and MTV Sur (Argentina). MTV Norte and Sur have their own TV shows and programs, but MTV Centro doesn't, so MTV Norte (Mexico) retransmit all its TV shows as Los 10+ pedidos to MTV Centro (Colombia) which is viewed in many countries like Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Venezuela, etc. It doesn't exist a feed called MTV Perú (it was erased of spanish wikipedia), it's just a vandalism of Brian lm13, who created various articles violating GNU Licence and making copyvio without pay attention to the rules, so he was blocked forever. /\n|)r0|v|€d@ {Post} 07:06, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User page problem

Your user page should not exist. It simply links back to your talk page. Your user page should be used for talking about yourself, NOT a cheap redirect. Therefore, I have fixed up the page for you. If this is the way you want your user page to be, please accept my apologies for editing it. Haseo9999 19:00, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey sorry for not getting back right away... congrats on the end of exams!

[edit] Sorry

Hi i vandalized the Stranger page I wanted to say sorry, but if Hot Dance Airplay is only monitorted by seven stations why does Billboard still keep it active. It seems kind of pointless

[edit] Hilary Duff

It's not needed to put the Radio Disney songs are her page, it's very pointless. Also, why does Happy and Smile keep getting added. The songs were not used on the soundtrack for Material Girls, considering there was no soundtrack to the movie. It's pointless to have that on there. I'm in the works of redoing that page, so please don't add it back.

[edit] American Gangster

Thanks for the cited casting addition! —Erik (talk • contrib) - 19:54, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Nellygood.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Nellygood.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Hello Extraordinary Machine, you seem to have a lot of experience with naming conventions and other moves. Would you mind giving input in a topic I started at Template talk: The Pussycat Dolls? I started a topic there about three months ago related to a move, but no one responded, and I thought you'd be the best person to ask about this. Thanks. Acalamari 16:47, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] James Blunt

Thank you for correcting your edits there. While there is something to be said for moving the information about awards to further down in the article, your initial edit simply removed mention of them completely.

hey please!

Who knew don't nedd two chart positions! because is just 1 single! no two diferent singles! Enyone know who knew's new peak is in 2007 beacause is in who knew page!

and the album titles need be small too, because u and all like pages with more information and minor exuberances.

it enters in agreement, all we edit.

I added "singles" to the Music Of The Sun page because 'let Me" was removed from "Rihanna Discography". Let me WAS a single, even though it was only in japan. It was a hit there.

Do you know where that guideline is? I looked and can't find it; I must be blind. I don't want to remove all that junk without first having something to back me up on it.

[edit] Never Again Release Dates

Hi Extraordinary Machine, and thank you for the reply. I've found the sources confirming the release dates of "Never Again" in many Sony BMG international sites, but I still need some help finding the ones for Canada and Sweden.

Also, I was wondering if you could help me find sources confirming the facts in the article Since U Been Gone. The song is one of Kelly Clarkson's most important hits and people are more likely to read the article than any other of her previous and future singles. We can split the sections so we can finish the work faster. Thank you in advance. Bull Borgnine 21:24, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello! There's no source about the sales but only logic. It's known that in Japan the gold status is for sales more than 100,000. I've looked to the Back To Basics Wikipedia Page and it's right. Also in the US the double platinum is for more than 2 million copies. Not too late has just sold 1,3 m. --Chronisgr 14:16, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A Woman Like Me (Beyoncé song) to A Woman like Me (Beyoncé song)

I noticed you changed the name of the article A Woman Like Me (Beyoncé song) to A Woman like Me (Beyoncé song). You specified you did so per "naming conventions". I'm a little confused here... WP:NAME states "Do not capitalize second and subsequent words unless the title is a proper noun". "A Woman Like Me" is a proper noun - it is a song title. Shouldn't the article title be "A Woman Like Me (Beyoncé song)"? Chupper 23:07, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

It wouldn't be unheard of. Kumbia Kings did a Duetos album that mainly reworked songs by Selena after her death. But it sounds like some Aaliyah fans just want to hear material from her and have been talking about a compilation on forums. 17Drew 01:11, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Dear Extraordinary Machine,

If you are gonna restrict "Who Knew" to just having 5 chart positions, you will need to change every article on wikipedia that is a song and displays chart information. Most songs do not have this restrict, and "Who Knew" will not either.

[edit] Re: Chart names

Hi! Thanks, Happy New Year for you too! Long time no talk. :) Well, I was considering using the Billboard charts' former names in articles about singles that entered the charts at the time they had those names, but I wasn't quite sure about the exact issue date the charts had their names changed, so I realised this would be pretty complicated. By the way, do you know the exact date? Thanks again, hope you're having a fabulous 2007 too. Funk Junkie (talk) 22:44, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I think that helps. What about an artist article mentioning singles that charted before and after the name change? Should I use the former name for the single which charted before and the current name for the single which charted after? Funk Junkie (talk) 22:58, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree with your opinion. And yes, I also think this could be brought up at Wikipedia talk:Record charts. Would you mind doing it? I'll be right here in case you need a hand. ;) Funk Junkie (talk) 23:11, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

No problem! I'll keep an eye on talk:Record charts so that I get know what was decided. Funk Junkie (talk) 23:30, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

One more question (unrelated to the whole chart thing): would you classify Joss Stone as rhythm and blues or contemporary R&B? Well, I'm not sure if you know what her music sounds like, just wanted someone else's opinion! Funk Junkie (talk) 23:38, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Yup, her first two albums had a purely '60s/'70s rhythm and blues/soul sound, but her latest release mixes traditional R&B/soul with contemporary R&B, neo soul, and hip hop. Thanks a lot anyway! :D Funk Junkie (talk) 23:57, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

But I'll try to fill as many {{fact}} as you included - after all I did some cleanup to reach GA potential and fixed everything the GAC review requested.

[edit] Reply

Hi. Did you read the article? The quote is taken from the entry. Read it carefully. I'm returning the information, as it was sourced and relevant to the article as she specifically marvels at M.I.A.'s style on her first album in the entry. DriveDelta (talk) 21:07, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. What links Furtado's opinion of M.I.A.'s album and the recording of Loose is the timing of the entry (during Looses early recording as she mentions), the sounds present on Loose, what some reviewers have pointed out in terms of similarities, and Furtado's praise of the style and flow of M.I.A.. Seeing as she says she is "rrecording my new album...woohoo!!! It is very exciting...I am thinking and writing and recording everyday" at the beginning, it makes sense to list this artist as an inspiration. Interestingly, she mentions "looking foward to the new System of a Down record in mid may" in the entry, which is also cited as a band she listened to on the Loose article. In this context, the wording can be changed to "listened to M.I.A.'s first album" if you prefer. DriveDelta (talk) 21:33, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I read both articles [1] and [2] where she mentions these other musicians listed on the Loose page and in both, she merely mentions loving them and listening to them during the early recordings. There is no "explicit stating" of influence. There is a possibility that in later articles, she has specified who "influenced" the album. The article is written "listened to several electro and rock musicians...some of whom influenced..." so I thought to include this. It really doesn't matter if that info on her love of M.I.A.'s first album during Loose's early recording stays or goes, just thought of putting it in after reading it cause it seemed relevant. If you can think of another section to include it in, go ahead or it can be removed. DriveDelta (talk) 00:14, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

English is our second language, I presume. Yeah, really need help for now. Thanks for that. Happy to work with you guys. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 01:50, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment. =) B'Day is really horrible now. I dont want to edit it this time; I'll let days or weeks pass so that it will somehow looks fresh for me and I'll easily spot errors. If you're not busy, kindly check please. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 06:51, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Jeffrey_Douglas_as_Professor_Z_in_Black_Hole_High.jpg

I have tagged Image:Jeffrey_Douglas_as_Professor_Z_in_Black_Hole_High.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Under_Rug_Swept_Japanese_promo_CD.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Under_Rug_Swept_Japanese_promo_CD.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 11:48, 9 February 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 11:48, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Under_Rug_Swept_Japanese_promo_CD.jpg

I have tagged Image:Under_Rug_Swept_Japanese_promo_CD.jpg as a disputed use of non-free media, because there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please clarify your fair use rationale on the image description page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 11:49, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:A Little More Personal (Raw) album cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:A Little More Personal (Raw) album cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it may be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 05:43, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] thriller 25

Hey ,you said you wanted Thriller 25 a merged article from Thriller (album). Just wondering, have you re-considered since then, now it's out? It's just we're trying to get a consensus going on the talk page. It'd be nice for you to either contribute to debate, or state if your opinion has changed. Consider how much both the articles have changed since your last imput as they have both seen changes. Realist2 (talk) 17:41, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Just an informal question. Do you have any idea what's up with 17Drew. He is not seen here since December 2007. I kind of feel his absence. Indianescence (talk) 19:20, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:In the Pink album cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:In the Pink album cover.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 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 07:17, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
