T.I. And Chris Brown

Hey man I understand, If you dont like T.I., ok, he is well-known as the king of da south, everybody in the hip hop industry now that T.I. has been compared with tupac , of course wikipedia is angry with T.i. since get back up (song). t.i. said in many interviews that he has multi-platinum albums, trap muzik and king in july 2010 was 2x platinum, paper trail has been 3x platinum as july 2012. no mercy sold over one million in the US as december 2012. of course chris brown x album is irrelevant for u , but you have to think in the Fans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.220.215.12 (talk) 22:31, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

What are you talking about? First of all i'm fans of both these artists, i'm just keeping a WP:NPOV in Wikipedia. First of all the "King of the South" thing, the infobox and lead are for official stage names, not nicknames. I personally would not compare him to Tupac, so would you happen to have multiple reliable sources to major hip hop critics calling him that? I also said recorded tracks are irrelevent, because its true, artists recorded upwards to 100 songs for albums sometime, so they have nothing to do with this album if they are not confirmed.

Young Dro

So it appears he's not sticking with the 3Krazy moniker, as he has released "F.D.B." and "Notorious", two songs from his upcoming mixtape, under the name Young Dro. You mind changing it back?

It must be taken to WP:RM. Now that I think about it, it should be Young Dro since that's his WP:COMMONNAME. If you take it to requested moves, I will definitely support it. STATic message me! 00:23, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

The Funkadactyls edit war.

HHH Pedrigree has also been apart on the edit war. I keep editing the page because he keeps trying to redirect the page because he does believe its noticeable enough which it is since they are appearing at the companys big event of the year where only the important people appear. So could you please that the ban off? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DJ8946 (talk • contribs) 21:45, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

I explain the situation twice. First, I explain to Miss X-Factor, the creator of the article and he/she understand it when I said "weekly matches aren't notable, few matches blablabla". He/she understood it, but you appear and make the same mistake. I explain it in your talk page and in Tons of Funk AFD, but you don't understand it. At the end, your edition was reverted by other user. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 21:52, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Appearing at WrestleMania does not make the team notable as has been pointed out to you multiple times. They have their own separate articles for a reason. STATic message me! 02:55, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Yes, but you don't get to decide that by yourself. You need to take the article to WP:AFD if you think it doesn't satisfy WP:Notability or WP:GNG. Toddst1 (talk) 22:05, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Is there a notability guideline for theatric wrestling? That article looks like is backed up by some weak sauce.  little green rosetta(talk)

I've started (or at least primed) a discussion on the article's talk page. Toddst1 (talk) 23:18, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

If it as simple as redirecting a weak, clearly not notable article, it can be taken care of via redirect instead of the AfD process. I only stepped in to attempt to stop the edit war between the first two posters on this discussion. STATic message me! 23:46, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Started from the Bottom (Additional Writers)

I figured out how to see what you had changed.

FWIW, both ASCAP and the Harry Fox Agency (which are official licensing sources) show that there were either 3 or 4 writers on STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM. I did not post a specific resource due to the fact that, unfortunately, the two sources don't agree and both of the sources require a click through approval, so I was not able to provide a direct link to the information. That said, please feel free to take a look at what ASCAP and Harry Fox have listed, and decide what you think is best. You will see that there is no question about Noah "40" Shebib being one of the writers.

Rolling Stone said Noah "40" Shebib was the sole producer; and http://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/drake-works-his-way-up-in-started-from-the-bottom-20130211

If only they would formally release this sort of information more clearly. Actually Rolling Stone just says he is working on the album with 40, not that the song is produced by him.

I get what your saying, but wikipedia is having a major lag when you overwrite a file it just doesn't update so instead of wasting my time i just upload a reduced version on a new file, i don't see the big deal. Koala15 (talk) 17:56, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Chris Brown - "Home" Prod. by GlassJohn

yea just because a record is publicized produced by a producer doesn't make it true. blogs make mistakes. album credits will reveal this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.169.43.52 (talk) 22:22, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Well it is sourced by a reliable source and the album credits are long from being revealed. You also have yet to provide a source that he is the sole producer. STATic message me! 22:28, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

a blog site does not count as a reliable source . whats an email i can reach you at ? the record was improperly publicized and another producer is taking credit that is undeserved . its honestly not that serious . but i would like to understand what levels do we need to take this to ? management or legal team ? do i need RCA to contact you and show you proof of what i'm saying ? do i need to send you split sheets for the song ? Chris is not mentioning Arthur in any interviews . and the interview that you provided to site that it is going to be a bonus track on iTunes does not mention Arthur anywhere in it . there are only 2 creative individuals on that song . Glass John and Chris Brown . no other producers or writers . so tell me what you need and we can take care of it . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.169.43.52 (talk) 06:52, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Yes I recently noticed that. Do you have a reliable source that just credits Glass John as the producer?

Cover

Why would you remove the deluxe edition cover from Finally Rich? It is not similar at all, i can see when its the same cover just a different color but this ones totally different. I think you might taking the wikipedia handbooks out of context. Koala15 (talk) 02:07, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

First off my recent revert was before seeing this. Second the covers are practically the same outside of the cover diference. The stylization of his name and the title are the same, he is wearing the same shirt, and it focused on his face and upper body and he is blowing out smoke. I do not understand you saying they are not similar when they are. This goes against the Non-Free image policy as it adds nothing extra to the article. Trust me I have been here long enough, this has happened many a time. Deluxe edition covers should only be used in the case that they are completely different such as with Jesus Piece and Hotel California. In case you did not read it the first time, see Template: Infobox album. STATic message me! 02:12, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

I really don't think they look similar, and what you are saying is just based off of your opinion. If you really care that much start a conversation on the Finally Rich talk page about it and see if other people agree with you. Koala15 (talk) 02:16, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Logic Discography

Hello, I was wondering if you knew anything about Logic's mixtape pages being redirected to his main wiki page? Thanks! NanishaOpaenyak (talk) 16:44, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Yes. Well as mixtapes they are generally not notable per WP:NALBUMS unless they are covered widely by reliable sources. However, these easily failed WP:NALBUMS. Wikipedia pages on mixtapes are only appropriate if they are covered by many reliable sources. Considering he just signed to Def Jam hopefully we can get an album sooner or later. It's also possible that his next mixtape will be notable since he has been getting more mainstream coverage. STATic message me! 19:33, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Chris Brown says he will turn 24 when the album comes out, suggesting that's when it's going to be released.--Launchballer 14:11, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Nowhere in that source does he say the album will be released on that date. He just says thats his birthday and since then he has said the album will be released in June or July. Do you really think it will come out in less than a month without a album cover or any more information released yet? That is illogical. STATic message me! 14:22, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Artist discography

So what's the deal with all of the edits? I'm not picking and choosing to change a few select articles. Other articles had that format for discographies and I was just also copying it. I cannot go to every single artist and do it. There are too many. That's why I was doing them one at a time more or less. So stop changing the edits. I'll limit it to the main studio albums, but do not change the format. Everytime I edit on a musical artist's article I run into you. Why is that? Banan14kab (talk) 21:50, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Jesus Christ learn how to type. I have to read your posts like three times to understand what you are trying to say. I gave you the links in my edit summary at Game (rapper). You need to have consensus from WP:MUSICIANS to make these major changes over many articles, because it needs to be the same across the project not just on a select few pages. You "run into me" because unlike you I know what I am doing, and you clearly are still trying to learn. Also in case you need to read the guidelines again see, Wikipedia:MUSICIAN/Article guidelines and WP:Manual of Style/Lists of works#Discography. It's clear as day. It says there how discography sections are supposed to look. If you think otherwise, drop something on one of the talk pages.STATic message me! 22:00, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Sorry I was typing too fast. Also there were only a few typos so don't act like I'm illiterate (you made some grammatical errors in your response btw...). Anyway I know consistency is important on the site. Like I said I wasn't aiming to change a few select pages. One more thing...I think the real reason I run into you is because you patrol music articles, hip hop in particular according to your page, so please get off the high horse. Maybe you've been here longer and that's cool, but you don't have to get egotistical and condescending. Banan14kab (talk) 07:21, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

A few? Do not try making me laugh. Stop, I do not know how old you are, but you are over-thinking this. Yes I patrol hip hop articles because if I did not there would be horrible editors like you making everything wrong and inconsistent. Maybe you should stay in other subjects if you do not bother to read the polices or guidelines before editing. STATic message me! 15:19, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Uh yea...there were only some errors here and there. I think you could've easily made out the typos I made as I only messed up some of the order of the letters or pressed another close by key. I don't care if you find it funny or laugh. I just typed fast like I said. I'm not a kid or teen if you must know. And I put it simply that I edit to the best of my ability. I don't see how I'm over thinking it. I'm just saying it how I see it. Also you're not the only editor who knows what their doing (not talking about myself), but you're the most egotistical one I've met on here. I've made plenty of constructive edits before. I didn't think to look up the guidelines before and I acknowledge that you provided them in your edit summaries. I just wanted to talk to you about it. Also I know you mainly patrol hip hop articles so don't make our run ins seem like it is because I'm such a "horrible editor" that "doesn't know what they're doing". Yea I admit I'm still learning, but I'm not completely ignorant or a novice editor. Someone else actually made that format before and I thought it was correct. So I didn't do it automatically on my own whim and like I said I didn't think to look up guidelines. I 'll be more careful in the future. Banan14kab (talk) 23:58, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

I only act this way to you because, since our first run into on here you act like its your way or no way with your edits, no matter how many people revert you or tell you you are wrong. Comments like "Oh not you again" and "so whats the deal with all of the edits?" do not really leave yourself a good impression. You are overthinking that I go out of my way to revert all your musical article edits. Brushing up on policies and guidelines should have been your first thing you did when you started editing Wikipedia. To be honest with you I never saw that style used on any article in the discography so I saw it as you making up your own style. STATic message me! 00:17, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Ok I apologize for any instigating I may have stirred up. I've had similar situations with edits on wikis before. And I first saw it on Dr. Dre's and 50 Cent's articles so that is where I copied the style from. You can check earlier versions and edit histories if you do not believe me.

Album Stream

Hey! This album stream is authorized by the distributing label, Nature Sounds. DJBooth.net is a content publisher, who works directly with record labels to provide their platform for authorized streaming. BZisook (talk) 17:49, 23 April 2013 (UTC) Brian Zisook, 4/23/2013.

So what? Album streams for promotion, are not notable and do not need to be linked in an encylopedia. STATic message me! 18:17, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but how could you say that an album being released for stream is not notable? In today's music industry, with a newfound importance placed on streaming music, the availability of an album in stream form is both newsworthy AND notable. News articles were written about Justin Timberlake's decision to stream his new album, several weeks before its release, through iTunes. Does this rule only apply to lesser known, not-as-popular artists? BZisook —Preceding undated comment added 21:18, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Have reliable sources also been reporting on this albums streaming? DJBooth.net is hardly a reliable source in its own right. Twelve Reasons to Die was just released for stream before its release, this is not as rare of an occurrence as you seem to believe. STATic message me! 21:24, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Nowhere did I write this was a "rare occurrence." In fact, it is becoming more popular. And yes, there are plenty of reliable sources, for example Rolling Stone or NPR, who also host newsworthy and notable album streams upon release. Here is a link to an article on Rolling Stone. And DJBooth.net IS a reliable source. It is a leading publisher of original music content, part of the Complex Media Network. (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:34, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

A reliable source about Floats album stream not some other random artist obviously. According to your logic that would also make YouHeardThatNew.com, MaskedGorilla.com and NahRight reliable sources which they, along with DJBooth are not. These are all blogs not proper news sources. STATic message me! 22:16, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Sir, you asked to see an example of another outlet reporting on the streaming of an album, which I provided for you. In the case of Float, here is a news mention on HipHopDX.com. It is very clear that the issue at hand here is in regard to what makes a publisher of original content a "reliable source". DJBooth.net is not a blog, like the others you listed, but even so to write that a blog cannot be a reliable or proper news source is uninformed and inaccurate. AllHipHop.com is a website in the same media network, similar to DJBooth in that it curates newsworthy, proper and original content. After doing some digging, it states on the [Links] page, under "Links normally to be avoided," that outbound links about newsworthy topics are allowed, so long as the source is a [Authority]. DJBooth.net is indeed a recognized authority in urban music.BZisook (talk) 05:03, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Evil Dead 2013

Hi StatIc,

You keep deleting the Order of Deaths section for Evil Dead - 2013 Film. For the record, I emailed Wikipedia and ROn Jones confirmed that it does not violate any terms or standards. I have also successfully posted this section on other horror film web pages.

The fact is, the manner and order of kills is a central theme of horror film. People want to know how/why/when people were dispatched. I absolutely intend to keep re-posting this section, it is both central to the plot and provides something that the horror fans want to know. If this doesn't fit, why bother explaining deaths in the long-form plot, or providsing details on Easter Eggs or sub-plots?

Further, you noted that the section is "not sourced." I looked and none of the statements in the plot are sourced... simply because the plot section is created by people who have seen the film and are describing the plot. Though I would be happy to provide the source (the film itself), I do not know what the appropriate method would be. Would be happy to include any "source" you deem worthy.174.79.35.85 (talk) 18:06, 26 April 2013 (UTC). Evan

I see no where in your contributions or proof that any "email" occurred. It is clearly unencyclopedic and needs to agree with WP:V and WP:RS. Order of deaths the occur in a movie are trivia and are not used anywhere else on Wikipedia so they should not be used here. You can look for other Wikias where this information is logical to be included. STATic message me! 18:44, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

I can't say - you would have to check the history page and see who removed it. It does not violate our policies. However do remember that all data needs to be referenced - if you add large sections and no reference - then it's more than likely that someone will take it out.

Yours sincerely,

Ron Jones

Again, this is not trivia, it is plot. It has been posted on other pages (although, I fear if I direct you to those pages, you will simply delete). Again, I am willing to work with you on formatting and/or citation. Otherwise, we appear to be at a logjam.

You - to my knowledge, are the only person to remove this section. Again, I have yet to read one Wiki page where PLOT has been cited (simply put, it can't be cited as PLOT comes from the viewer reading the material).

I have read this and do not agree that it is trivia. It is substantive referencing both character and plot.

Again, this is substantive information bearing directly on plot. It is as "reliable" as whoever posted the plot itself - or do you think that should be deleted as well since it contains no citation?

I never said my change is "supported," what I said was that the Wiki editors stated it did not violate their policies. The email reflects that directly. Although iut did note that large information sections need to be cited, you have yet to direct me to any plot of a movie that has a citation, nor have you demanded what sort of citation you want. You tell me what citation, and I will make the changes accordingly.

Otherwise, it seems there is no dealing with you. I will continue to post this, and you will continue to delete it. Good luck. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.79.35.85 (talk) 23:09, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

So now what. We have two for the change (me and one person on the Talk page) and two against (you and one other person on the talk page). Are we just going to have to engage in an edit war? I did everything you requested and an impasse still seems to exist.

This is not a war no matter how much you want it to be and you do not have anyone on your side, the other commenter did not even agree with the section. The section will not be added as it is not used in any other article and is WP:TRIVIA. There was also another editor that removed again in the first place, so that is three or four people that disagree with your edit. Just give up it is not going in the article. STATic message me! 20:08, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

I do not want it to be a war. I do want to include this information. Because you seem to lack basic reading comprehension here is the person's comment:

Sheesh everyone, there's no need to be so harsh. Although trivia is actively discouraged on Wikipedia, this does prove to be some useful information regarding the plot, albeit with major spoilers added in for those who didn't see the movie. In other words, a simple "no" would've sufficed. —stay (sic)! 11:23, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

This person neither thought it was trivia, nor were they opposed. In fact, this person stated it was useful info. regarding the plot. The "no" was in regards to your tone in your response. It is you who is abrasive and seems to want to wage an edit war. If I wanted a war, I wouldn't have posted to talk, added citations or bothered talking with you. Again, you are the only person to have deleted this section. Clearly, you refuse to be reasoned with despite the fact that I have bent over backwards to work with you. 174.79.35.85 (talk) 21:55, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, but do not assume they are immediately approving of the section. All the deaths are referred to in order in the plot so why list the same information twice? Really I was the only one? See this: [1]. You do not have consensus for the change. STATic message me! 22:20, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

May not be the best of quality, but the picture you changed it to you can only see about 25% of his face. It can be used in the article, but the main infobox picture should be the best image of the subjects face. STATic message me! 03:38, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Twelve Reasons to Die

I noticed you reverted my edit at Twelve Reasons to Die saying that "The Brown Tape" cover would be released to stores. If we add that one then why don't we add the instrumental version, that ones being released to stores also, or the cassette version. I just think this is kind of odd since most editors won't even allow us to add deluxe edition covers even if they are completely different. Koala15 (talk) 14:25, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

The instrumental version and cassette tape version were not released by themselves, they were released under a "deluxe edition package". The Brown Tape is being released as basicly a new album in stores, and the cover is completely different then the original so it is just fine to use. Also deluxe versions can be used if they are noticeably different than the original such as with, Good Kid M.A.A.D City. If this is about Finally Rich, those covers were so similar it was matter of time before it was removed. STATic message me! 15:46, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Clarify

Apparently you think I don't know what I was doing when I removed those entries at the Cashis articles. I removed them as unsourced. I mentioned the non-notable or mixtape part because they didn't have articles of their own where the source would be found. OTOH, apppearences on notable things, which had articles, have sources and didn't need repeated here. Niteshift36 (talk) 16:13, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Do not get me wrong I assumed good faith. I just took the chance to provide the references, your edits did make sense though. STATic message me! 16:26, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

RE: Indicud

As you said, it would be better to wait for a while. The album was released less than a month ago, so information will appear the next months. You can use Man on the Moon: The End of Day (if it still meeting the GA criteria), or any of the GA you have contributed. It is important the aricle does not include unsourced statements (expecting for plots--if it has--per WP:FILMPLOT) or original research or unsourced "facts". The references shouldn't have bare links, and they should have all possible information: title, author, who made the work (journal, magazine, tv program, etc.) who published the work (generally a company or subsidiary), date, and accessdate. Also, I recommend you to archive urls with WebCite or any other archive site. Some links tend to become dead in a few years, but not most of them. Look at GBooks (in a few years) as offline sources usually write about this, or even search for information offline when it appears. If you believe you don't write very well, contact a WP:GOCE member or trusted-to-you editor who have written FAs/GAs to make a copy-edit of it. Also, you can try to WP:PR it before the GA moment to have comments about it and make easier the GA nomination. Those are tips I can give you for a general GA nomination.

808 Mafia

Dude, for the song Crack by 2 Chainz has TM88 & Southside as producers on the 808 Mafia 2 mixtape and said that him and Lex Luger were both working on Flockaveli 2 via instagram.

I reverted your long list of artists hes supposedly worked with. Tyler, The Creator? He makes all his own beats so you just seemed to be adding artists just to add them. All the other ones did not have a reliable source either. Now about "Crack", the beat could have been reworked on the mixtape compared to the official album version. Based on the unreliable source (actually link to instagram if anything) the only thing your sourced at all was the bit about Flockaveli 2. Where were the sources for all the other chunks of info you added? STATic message me! 21:02, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

You are the one threatening people, and calling names like you are a middle schooler. You have not provided any reliable source indicating him as a producer.

Havoc Singles

Why was Same Shit & Seperated removed from singles? They dropped in 2012 and were originally going to be the first singles on his 13 Album

Yes they were origionaly supposed to be the first singles but they never received a release to iTunes or any form of retail as far as know, so they were not actually ever "singles". Just having a music video does not make a song a single. Also sign the end of your posts with four "~". STATic message me! 03:43, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Prisoner of Conscious Redundancy

Static, the sentence you have re-added at the end of the Background section almost exactly matches the last sentence of the article's overview (first paragraph). They're essentially the same thing. Listing guest artist appearances would likely be better suited in the overview section IMO as their mention in the album's Background does not add anything. Perhaps if there was additional information about the how Kweli chose artists for this album, it may provide insight warranting mention in a Background section. What do you think? Charger2 (talk) 20:56, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

The lead paragraph or "overview" as you call, is there to summarize the article. All information that is present in the lead should also be covered in depth in the article. This is why only a few significant names are mentioned in the lead, while the entire list of guests is mentioned in the body of the article. It is completely appropriate to list the information twice. It would be much better if we did have info of that nature, but until we do we can only report on what we know. STATic message me! 21:18, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the lead info. Semantically, I feel the Background section is not the place for this content but I'm not too concerned about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charger2 (talk • contribs) 01:26, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Well, yes that is also true, it would be more appropriate for a "Recording and production" or "Guests and production" section, but it seems there is not enough information for a full section. STATic message me! 02:48, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

RE:

Okay buddy i'm not trying to "take your credit" or anything like that i just thought that the article had potential to be a GA. I don't think you really have to have created the whole article to nominate it for GA. When someone nominates an article for GA the reviewer gives suggestions to help bring the article to GA status. So i would have to majorly fix the article anyway, but if it really bothers you that much i'll withdraw it. Koala15 (talk) 04:19, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

I would like to see where it says you have to be "top contributor" to bring an article to GA status. I recently brought an article to GA status when i was not the top contributor but i made tons of changes necessary to bring the article to GA status. Koala15 (talk) 04:32, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

AfD first?

When did it become the norm to go straight to AfD with a redirect, without bothering to have any sort of discussion at all? AfD should be the last resort. It's a viable search term, so deleting it is not the preferred course of action. Niteshift36 (talk) 21:29, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

No you take it to AfD if anyone disagrees with the redirect, which more than one editor have. You have now tried to redirect the page 5 times and this version is much better than the previous one. T A possible result of AfD could be redirect, which would be better than deletion. You do not just keep forcing the redirect, you just take it to AfD. I'm sorry it can not always be your way, no one is even going to be able to find a discussion on the talk page of a redirect except if it is on their watchlist. Thats why take it to AfD. STATic message me! 21:35, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

• It's in AfD. And if you're going to talk down to me as you did in this response, then I can see AGF won't apply. Niteshift36 (talk) 21:47, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

I was not trying to talk down to you, I am sorry if it came out that way. STATic message me! 21:55, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

• To be honest, it did. When you start telling me "it can't always be your way", when neither of you has engaged in a single attempt to discuss it, even after being asked to discuss it, it starts to sound that way to me. I appreciate that you say that wasn't your intent, just explaining why it looked that way to me. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:02, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

My reasoning for saying that is continuing to attempt to redirect after you were advised to take it to AfD by both me and the other editor. AfD is the discussion when it comes to keeping/redirecting/deleting articles, not the talk page of a redirected page nobody is going to see. This way there can be more voices in the discussion, not just the three of us arguing back and forth. STATic message me! 22:19, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

• Again, neither of you made the slightest effort to discuss it. That should happen before an AfD. Regardless, it's there now. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:32, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

DJ Khaled - No New Friends

Hi,

I recently saw you've removed my edit twice on this page. It states at the end of the video it was directed by Colin Tilley and Drake. I know I didn't quote a source which is likely why you've removed the edit, but it is right there in the credits at the end of the video. A few music sites have also picked up on this too. No worries though, I know it was in good faith.

Albums

"So what? See the link. If the article is nothing except an infobox and tracklist it is not worth having an article." Nearly every album article on Wikipedia is a tracklist and infobox so that statement is inaccurate. When you redirect mixtapes that is ok but when your redirecting an album and strongly believe it should not exist you should probably do an afd for a second opinion.

Well thank you for including the uncredited vocals section on the album. I did notice that the back of the album doesn't include many of the features, so you were right in removing them from the official tracklist, unless the booklet (if there is one) says they're on it. I just wanted to make sure that the features were included somewhere, so thank you again! Distortiondude (talk) 18:26, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Harry Fraud

No I'm not crazy, please be more mature when responding to another editor. The statement "many full length free mixtapes" is not true, he released one mixtape which was a compilation of songs that were already released plus an additional 10 new songs, and his only other free mixtape is High Tide which was not "full length" because it is only 5 songs. These are the only songs that are by the artist Harry Fraud, the other mixtapes and songs he is in he is simply credited as a producer. SO this brings us to the Daft Punk remix, which is the first SINGLE that Fraud has released for free over the internet, also one of his first notable songs with the incarcerated Max B. So if you do not respond with the Wikipedia rules which declare that this piece of information is not notable it will be added again to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tikopowii (talk • contribs) 22:54, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

First off learn to sign your posts with 4 "~". Second, he has released many mixtapes with other artists and as you pointed out over 15 songs for free, so why would making a remix and releasing it on SoundCloud be important? If it was released to iTunes as a single, or apart of a bigger project with Montana or Max B then it would be important. The song with Earl Sweatshirt and Riff Raff was also released as a free song (it is only a single if it is released for retail) so you are wrong about it being his first free single when he has released countless before that. If it was notable, a third party reliable source would have covered it, and SoundCloud is a primary source see WP:SPS. STATic message me! 23:14, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

ASAP Ferg

I agree that Billboard sometimes use the sales figures for both versions of the song for one charting, they did it with "I'm a Flirt", however, I'm pretty sure Billboard will always denotes the featured artists, and on the charts, "Work" credits Ferg as being the sole artist, not like when the remix of Meek Mill's single "Ima Boss" charted, which listed all the featured guests [5] And I've actually only heard the original play on the radio, but then again I don't listen to too much radio.--User: 1Sire talk 03:51, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Complete sentences

Not intending this to be patronizingly simple, just informative. Complete sentences. The subjects, objects and verbs in WWE 2K14 are fine. It was only the irrelevance I chopped. The article's not about the gaming media or when they get press releases about things and "confirm" them. It's about the game with The Rock on the cover, and Jim Ross voice-acting. You know? InedibleHulk (talk) 04:49, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Are you arguing that the section looked better with only about 10 or less words? I improved the flow of the section and made it look much better. The section was written as if it was in bullet points. As with all reveals or announcements that date should accompany them. Not so much with the JR one, but definitely about the announcement of Rock being featured on the cover. STATic message me! 04:58, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

If more words makes something better, I could add a hundred more from those sources and really "improve" things. Wouldn't make any of them relevant to development of the game, though. Not sure what flow means to you, but I feel the sentence stumbles across useless info, when it should be concise and direct to the point, as the Manual of Style says.

Why do you feel the date of the cover announcement is more important or relevant than the voice-over announcement? Would the cover be any different if it was announced earlier or later? InedibleHulk (talk) 05:42, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

I see you've already beaten me to the "improvements". Apparently, who announced the notable thing and where are important, too? I hope that was just a pointy edit, not a genuine one. If you're serious, please explain. InedibleHulk (talk) 05:48, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

The announcement of who is featured on the cover and when it is announced is important and not "pointy" at all. This article is probably one of the shortest Wrestling related articles on Wikipedia so why make it shorter? I do not understand your logic. What you included were extremely short sentences, not proper english and written as if in bullet points. I do not why you are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill when the article looks better now than it did before. For example in the development section of the WWE '13 page it also details exactly when, who and how the cover was revealed. STATic message me! 05:56, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

I didn't ask whether you think it's important, but why.

The article is short because there is either very little info on a yet-to-be-released game, or our editors haven't found it yet. If we want to expand it, we should try to find substance instead of puffing it up with words (see WP:TERSE and WP:TOPIC). If that's all the substance we can find at the moment, that's how it is.

I'm trying to keep this a molehill, you're escalating it by restoring twice as much as I removed. If WWE '13 could use some work, that's a separate issue. InedibleHulk (talk) 06:06, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Well it is clear it definitely needs expanding, but that does not mean would should trim it down to the bare minimum. This is definitely not puffing up the article as it is just a longer sentence, not a whole damn paragraph. There is no reason to not include the information, and instead include a fragmented sentence. You are definitely turning it to a mountain accusing me of being pointy when im just improving the article. It not that WWE13 needs work, its that this is proper notable information that should be included. I would not be surprised if 85% of sports video game articles have some information on the cover athlete being chosen. STATic message me! 06:21, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

The difference between longer sentences and a whole damn paragraph is only in quantity, not quality. Still filler, however much. That's the reason not to include it. You haven't even tried explaining why it's notable or relevant, only that the article needs more words.

I didn't accuse you of being pointy, just said I hope that edit was. Seems sort of confrontational, adding twice as much back after I halve it. But yeah, maybe you just really like wordiness and genuinely don't understand what a sentence fragment is after reading that link. I'll assume good faith.

Other stuff is WP:OTHERSTUFF. If 85% of sport game articles are puffed up, that's another issue. All of the NHL 2K game articles (and all but one NBA) just say "So-and-so is featured on the cover". No who, when, where, how it was announced. InedibleHulk (talk) 07:15, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

I am going to stop responding, since you clearly do not understand (or want to understand) the point. I never said it needed more words, I am clearly adding mentionable, verifiable content from a reliable source. It would only be puff if the article contained more than two damn paragraphs. The edit was not meant to be confrontational one bit and you should start assuming good faith. "The Rock will be featured on the cover" is a fragment, and any high school graduate should know that a sentence can be wrote much better than that. 07:32, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Yes, it's verifiable, but so is stuff about The Rock's career and family life. Would it be relevant or notable here? Shame you'll stop responding, because I'm still curious about why you think this is any better. I can't miss the point if you don't make it. And if you don't make one before you stop responding, why wouldn't I revert?

I assume good faith, and that you honestly don't understand sentence fragments. Maybe this link will be of more use to you than the last. InedibleHulk (talk) 08:11, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

And not to be a dick, but it's "written", not "wrote". I wouldn't even point it out if it wasn't in a sentence about writing sentences. InedibleHulk (talk) 08:16, 18 June 2013 (UTC) .

About this, you weren't right about anything. It was totally irrelevant in a Development section, but not in Marketing. But yeah, the JR bit is better in the lead, until there's more to say about Development. Thanks for fixing that. InedibleHulk (talk) 07:20, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Is that what you were arguing about the whole time? I did not care one bit about what the section name was, just that the information deserved to be there. STATic message me! 14:57, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I did cite a forum, but it seems important enough to put as a note that there are differences in the different versions of the album, and I have no other source but my own ears and the forum. Any suggestions on how to include it? Distortiondude (talk) 01:56, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

There was way too many genres as we are supposed to keep it specific and trimed down. Also there were way to many Associated Acts, the section is only for SIGNIFICANT artists to his career (making an album together, going on tour together, countless collaborations) stuff like that.

Action Bronson

Hi. I'm not sure why you think it necessary to include details such as the medium by which an album released is announced. Since the album in question has actually been released all that is needed to be included is that it came out, and perhaps when. Announcements in the run-up (unless they are particularly notable) are not really relevant Otherwise, it reads as "person said a record is going to come out and then that record came out". Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 10:53, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

No, you removed large amounts of notable verified content without giving a appropriate reason, which you still have not. You are lucky I did not give you a warning for it. STATic message me! 14:53, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

I disagree with you about what is notable here. For instance the text reads "In May 2013 he announced that he was moved to Atlantic Records and his collaboration album Saaab Stories with Harry Fraud would be coming soon...... Saaab Stories was released digitally to iTunes and Amazon.com on June 11, 2013. The album was entirely produced by Harry Fraud and featured guest appearances by Raekwon, Wiz Khalifa and Prodigy." This can easily be condensed to something like "In May 2013 Action Bronson moved to Atlantic Records.... Saaab Stories, an album produced by Harry Fraud and featured guest appearances by Raekwon, Wiz Khalifa and Prodigy, was released in June 2013." We don't need to know that it was released on iTunes and Amazon - it's not notable. We also don't need to say both that the album released was announced and then that the record came out - it's basically the same information twice.Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 09:01, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

It could be, but you removed much more information then you should have from the article without giving a good reason. It is worth mentioning about be released only to iTunes and Amazon since it was not released in stores as a CD. I will fix it now. STATic message me! 15:21, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

EW

So, you actually think "EW is a way more prestigious reviewer" than COS, fine. But, Fact magazine is more prestigious as being a music magazine than EW and Pitchfork could ever be, so I will be replacing either Pitchfork or EW with Fact. By the way, NY Daily News is more reliable than say The Fly, which is another music magazine. See, I trust music magazines first and foremost, which EW is just anoter generic entertaiment magazine. To me, it goes music magazines (i.e. Fact, The Fly, Rolling Stone), music webzines (i.e. Allmusic, Consequence of Sound, Slant Magazine), newspapers (i.e. The A.V. Club, The Guardian, USA Today), and then entertainment publications (i.e. Entertainment Weekly). We are in fact talking about music, so music-based publications are more reliable and prestigious than just a mere entertainment ones. Sorry, but I judge things to a way, way, way different standard.15:11, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Praxis Makes Perfect is an example of my work.HotHat (talk) 15:13, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

The reviews should be based around the most prestigious and known reviewers. Also they should be in WP:ALBUM/REVSIT. Another way I could put this, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, The A.V. Club, USA Today, Entertainment Weekly would definitely go before Fact or The Fly. Hell other music magazines such XXL, Spin and Vibe would before those. When it is a high profile album with 30+ reviews we do not include low profile reviewers such COS, Fact or Fly. It just happened that I was the one to revert it, the COS review would have not been there for long. STATic message me! 15:37, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, we as a music community need to debate this to see what way we go with respect to these. Because, I do not agree with you on this matter in the least. So, you would use USA Today over say Mojo or Uncut, which does not make any sense.HotHat (talk) 16:06, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Definitely I do not know how that is clear. USA Today is a nationwide newspaper that has ran daily for 30 years, compared to a magazine that has been around for 5 years and one that has been around for 15. This might be just a culture issue as by your choices i'm guessing you live in the United Kingdom. As I said even the music magazines I listed are still considered more prestigious reviewers than the ones you are listing however they are not even used. When we are kept to only 10 reviews we cannot really have lower lever music magazines when so many major newspapers review the album. STATic message me! 16:17, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Grand Hustle Records

T.I. said on 106&Park that they are signed to the label, and said Iggy was still signed to the label months after that was added to the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ACBContent (talk • contribs) 00:08, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Well you need a reliable source not just claim a random ep of 106 said that and Facebook is worse then not putting a source at all. Also the new YouTube source cannot be used as it is a copyright violation. Keep in mind "Hustle Gang" and "Grand Hustle Records" are two COMPLETELY different embodies. One is a record label and the other is this supposed group. If you think about it if she was a member of the label why would she be credited as featuring on "Memories Back Then" which Kendrick Lamar was credited as a main artist on. She also made I think one appearance on the Hustle Gang mixtape. STATic message me! 00:26, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

T.I. said it in a interview that Hustle Gang and Grand Hustle are the same thing check online he said it's just another way to refer to the label like YMCMB to YonngMoney and Cash Money.Look below T.I.'s new videos on Vevo like MemoriesBackThen,With Me, and Doe B's Let Me Find Out Remix, it says HustleGangMusic as the label it's the same as GrandHustleRecords.

Hustle Gang is the same to Grand Hustle as Rich Gang is to YMCMB. If it is hard finding a reliable online source that she is signed to the label, which means she probably isn't. Just find a reliable source that says she is on Grand Hustle Records and she can easily be added like that. STATic message me! 01:36, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

NXT championships in WWE template

Yikes. After I added the NXT championships to the template of WWE Championships, I now see that a whole new template has been created for the NXT championships that also lists the defunct FCW championships. As such do you think we should undo the addition of the NXT championships to the WWE template? Starship.paint (talk) 05:43, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Of course there is lol. Maybe we should know but is there really a point for the NXT template, when the "promotion" has not been around that long and most of it is based on FCW. I mean I personally think it is better to list them in the WWE Championships template, rather than having the other template at all considering it is mostly based around a defunct promotion.

Kanye West & GOOD Music

I do not understand why Kanye West could not be signed with the label as he has founded the label. Jay-Z has founded Roc Nation and he releases his own albums on Roc Nation. Lil Wayne founded Young Money Entertainment and he releases his own albums on Young Money Entertainment. Thank you for reading this message and please respond! :)  11Block |talk 00:07, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

As far as I can tell he did not sign himself to the label, and release his own music under it as other have done like the ones you mentioned. Another example would be the The Game founded The Black Wall Street Records and his albums are not released through the label. Just to double check it I read the inline notes of both my copies of 808's & Heartbreak and MBDTF, and neither of them credit GOOD Music only Roc-A-Fella and Def Jam as the record labels.

Born Sinner - J. Cole "Crooked Smile" Sample

Hello.

I know the name of one of J. Cole's original sample that he used for a track off of his new Born Sinner album, but you have deleted my contribution from the page.

What can we do so that this dosen't happen again? You can't say that we need sources, as the other sample names have no links attached to them.

Nothing Was the Same

I found the "confirmed tracks" for Drake's 3 rd album on Facebook and looks real official.

WP:FACEBOOK is not a reliable source and is a WP:SPS. Was it even on Drakes Facebook? That would be the only way to make it true. Most reliable sources are citing those as songs that will not make the album. STATic message me! 19:33, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Ralph Folarin

Has it ever occurred to you that Ralph Folarin sounds a lot like Ralph Lauren? Its a nickname that has taken on a life of its own. Like the article also says, he was born with the first name, Olubowale, or Wale for short. So, "Wale" is not a fake name, as you asserted. I very clearly remember back in 2008 when Wale started using the name Ralph Folarin as a joke. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ropo153 (talk • contribs) 01:02, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

I do not know what Ralph Lauren is? Yes he was born with that name and I believe he changed his legal name to "Ralph Folarin". If you see here [6] his writting and production credits on the album The Gifted are credited as such. You have yet to cite a a single source at all that his legal first name is "Wale" or ANYTHING for that matter. Also please learn to sign your posts with four "~", you know because it is not like it does not tell you enough already. STATic message me! 01:08, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

The link you gave also credits a "Wale Folarin" as the Executive Producer. And on his last album he was credited as "Olubowale Akintimehin" [7]. Either way, I'm pretty sure artists can credit themselves however they want on their albums; I seriously doubt that they need to use their legal names on production notes. Also, Ralph Lauren is this guy: [8], Polo brand clothing is his creation.

Apologies for forgetting to sign my previous comment, but why the attitude? I didn't chew you out for putting a question mark after a statement. Ropo153 (talk) 02:36, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

It was out of confusion. I am to go ahead and change it to reflect that he has not changed his name, because I have not found a reliable source for either name. It seems like a fan had added the name or something, next time leave an correct edit summary or a source for your change. STATic message me! 03:45, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Please see WP:NALBUMS as mixtapes are generally not notable except in rare cases. Its a pretty good mixtape by a great rapper but that does not make it notable. Also as I said I just searched and not professional reviewers have reviewed it, and the bulk of the article was copied from Machine Gun Kelly anyways. STATic message me! 00:52, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Three sentences came from the MGK page. It's a new mixtape/free album (it depends on who you ask) and it should be allowed to exist as it's own page, just look at Comeback Season by Drake. It has no reviews, and very little information other than the track listing, how does that make this mixtape significant?ThaPhenom (talk) 01:07, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Yes basically the whole background. The project is a mixtape, calling it a free album is just a Peacock term as to be an album is must be released for sale. Do not base your argument around WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, but as far as I can tell that article should be redirected too, however I am sure some fanboy would disagree against the policy. STATic message me! 01:36, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

The artist himself as well as Diddy refer to the mixtape as an album, but I already knew Wikipedia wouldn't (that's why I said "free album/mixtape, it depends on who you ask"). I'm simply trying to create a page for this mixtape and add reviews as time passes on. Sadly, the first attempt was redirected into Machine Gun Kelly before I could further edit it. Here's my most recent edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ThaPhenom/sandbox Please let me know what you think, and I would much appreciate anything you'd have to offer regarding how to edit/fix the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThaPhenom (talk • contribs) 02:17, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Sometimes artists say that as a promotional term to make a mixtape seem more important, by labeling it a "free album" when it just a mixtape. I mean when his next album comes out I doubt he will be calling it his third album, that will just not make any sense. I mean until significant coverage and reviews can be sourced, the article should stay in the sandbox. I will do a little cleaning up on it for you :) STATic message me! 03:40, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Template:Machine Gun Kelly

My purpose for removing them was due to WP:NAVBOX, which means if the song/mixtape/album does not have a Wikipedia article that can be wikilinked then it should not be included in the template until then. I believe that Template:MGK needs to moved to reflect the correct name, and I will redirect it once the other template is deleted, if it has not been already. <unreleated> I listened to "Alone" and I do not know why but the song seemed kinda awkward to me, I liked the song on Black Flag with Kellin much better lol I do not know if you agree.</unrelated> STATic message me! 06:38, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

I prefer the song from Black Flag as well, it seems less forced than "Alone" did. Sorry for being such a hassle the last few days, I'm kinda new to making edits on Wikipedia. "Alone" doesn't have it's own page yet, that's why I linked Feel instead, and the mixtapes were just put on so more people would be aware of them, Rage Pack isn't even mentioned on the page. Thanks for not being rude about all this.ThaPhenom (talk) 06:45, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Yeah exactly what I was thinking, I felt like Kelly did not fit in the song at all. No hassle at all I can tell you were editing with good intentions from the beginning and you were not fully knowledgeable to all the relevant policies. Yeah that is kind of the point tho, if the song/mixtape it does not need to be included in the template as it is used to navigate between the articles related to Kelly and as far as I can tell "Alone" is not mentioned much on the Feel page anyways. What needs to be done is the template needs to link to his discography page so readers can find the information about the mixtapes there. I will go ahead and add that right now. STATic message me! 06:55, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

I mean WP:NALBUMS is pretty strict in that articles on mixtapes should not really exist unless covered by reliable sources outside of trivial coverage. I found [9] for Rage Pack, nothing for Lace Up, not much at all for 100 Words.... and [10] for EST 4 Life. I mean when it comes to mixtapes it is usually just the trivial announcement of its release and not many reviews them. STATic message me! 07:26, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Maybe just link it within the black flag section of the article, and put it wherever else you think it should be added to. And can you please leave the "promotional" stuff about it being an album? I'll edit it out when it's revealed to be otherwise. ThaPhenom (talk) 22:41, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Thats the thing, this is not the first time a mixtape has been called a album, but it all boils down to that mixtapes are free and albums are sold for retail. If a project is not made available for retail sale it is not a studio album. An example would be that Yelawolf called his last mixtape "Trunk Music Returns" a "free album" but on Wikipedia we do not consider it his second album. Also I do not remember the name of the page you originally created Black Flag at but that page needs to redirect to the current page I had it moved too Black Flag (mixtape).

OK fair enough then, I didn't know that. Still, have a read of Wikipedia:MOSALBUM#Critical_reception. Gigwise fits the criteria. Also I'm not affilated with Gigwise in any way, please don't be so quick to jump to conclusions, they are a large site and commonly referenced on Wikipedia (they even have their own Wikipedia page). Also, why did you revert my changes to the last paragraph in the first section of the Yeezus article? What exactly were you unhappy with? I kept the "rave reviews" bit and used sources for my changes. 2.127.89.190 (talk) 02:23, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Not the first time you did not, and again I explained multiple times it was the third highest selling album of the year so public reaction was not mixed. When it all comes down to it projections are just that projections so it does not matter if it sold 200k less then someone thought it would. You also removed the fact it was the third highest debuting of the year, overlinked Def Jam and changed "on July 4" to "in July 4". It is not a quick jump when you constantly continue to add it without discussing and leave false edit summaries. STATic message me! 02:31, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

You simply cannot gauge public reaction through record sales. Many of the people (a majority, even) purchasing the album first week would have not heard the album before buying it. Even though I think the method of using sales to describe public reaction is flawed, if we were to use them, relative sales would be more relevant than absolute sales (for obvious reasons). Plenty of reliable sources have stated that initial fan reaction to the album, in contrast to the initial critical reaction, was mixed. I am willing to defer on all the other edits I made, but I do not see why my sourced sentence on public reaction was removed. 2.127.89.190 (talk) 09:45, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Run the Jewels

In reply to what you said here the Run the Jewels is available for free download on the record labels website but you can order a physical album here and the album will be released to retail on July 30, as you can see here. So it wouldn't be correct to call it a mixtape since it wasn't released to DatPiff or Livemixtapes. Koala15 (talk) 03:17, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, I would not have changed it if you provided one of the last two sources from the beginning. I assumed they were calling it a "free album" as a promotional technique some artists use for mixtapes nowadays after I saw it was on DatPiff. You might want to add it to the 2013 in hip hop music page.

Christian Music Zine

The criteria states exactly this: "Professional reviews may include only reviews written by professional music journalists or DJs, or found within any online or print publication having a (paid or volunteer) editorial and writing staff (which excludes personal blogs). The standard for inclusion always is that the review meet Wikipedia's guideline for reliable sources and that the source be independent of the artist, record company, etc." So, it has a writing staff with an editorial team in place, and it is independent of the artist they review. I am not going to stop using the site nor others' like it because the WP:ALBUM/REVSIT is outdated and not current, and it should not be sited to restrict because it is not a policy nor a guideline rather an essay. By the way, REVSIT is greatly discriminatory and biased towards Christian magazines even CCM Magazine, Christianity Today, HM, Worship Leader are not on it, so I do not trust REVSIT, when it comes to the Christian genre in the least. Also, is webzines like Jesus Freak Hideout, New Release Tuesday, Indie Vision Music on this list? Nope. Christian Music Zine is not a personal blog in the least!HotHat (talk) 02:21, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

I just saw a bunch of non notable reviewers and I removed them. If you disagree with that one go ahead and readd it. It had actually slipped my mind that ABR was a Christian band as I do not follow their music that much or with Christian magazines. STATic message me! 03:10, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

I reverted at least one of the reviews. Did you see non-notable reviewers, non-notable publications or something else? Are you using the term "notable" in Wikipedia terms or something else? Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:52, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

I meant publications that are not notable as album reviewers, and not found on WP:ALBUM/REVSITE or would seem to be included anytime soon. I am not that familiar with Christian magazines so if I was wrong I was subject to some being added back. STATic message me! 04:05, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I agree that the some of the publications do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines and I'm not entirely sure that they would qualify as review sites either, which is why I only restored one. I'll see if anything is happening at the project page later.

Thanks again, and I hope it doesn't seem like you're being ganged-up on. As the Monty Python sketch states "nobody expects the Spanish inquisition", and I certainly don't mean to throw one! Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:56, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Canvassing

Hi STATic Verseatide. I know you've been around here quite a while, but I'm not sure if you're aware of Wikipedia's guideline regarding canvassing...? Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 17:54, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

It was an attempt to notify the voters at the Deadmau5 debate due to it being the same issue. So I would rather achieve consensus then only have a few people see the debate. I did not tell anyone how to vote, just to provide their two cents but I was not surprised they were in agreeance. STATic message me! 18:00, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm disappointed that you're really making me spell this out to you, STATic Verseatide. But here goes: Your behaviour is not in keeping with the community's expectations regarding inviting others to a dispute resolution process. If we consider the table at the bottom of Wikipedia:Canvassing#Appropriate notification, your messages are problematic in at least two, possibly three of the realms (scale, message, audience, and transparency).

• Scale: Notifying 13 users is somewhere in between appropriate and inappropriate, as it is bordering on mass posting.
• Message: Your message is not neutral where it invites the user to comment "to overturn another horrible move based on a name no reliable sources refer to the subject as". There's just no way to read that as a neutral invitation.
• Audience: You invited everyone from the Deadmau5 discussion that supported the similar position you are holding with respect to Tech Nine, and you invited no one who held the opposing opinion. So it was a fully partisan audience you invited. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 21:53, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

The only reason I was inviting anyone is, because as far as I can tell there is no template to put on the article page to notify anyone passing by it that a RM discussion is currently on going. It is a name the subject is not known as, so it is a horrible name just like Deadmaus. I did not just invite supporters, I also invited people that showed concern in the Tech Nine name in the past and another supporter of the move also indicated that the Deadmau5 RM participants should be notified. Maybe my message was not as neutral as possible, but it would be best to WP:AGF, I am not trying to push my vote or side just want to achieve proper consensus. It would be worse if I was the nominator but I am just a supporter of a better encyclopedia. If I would have not invited anyone it would have just been the MOS warriors pushing their bureaucratic barrage across the Wikipedia again. Do not make it out like I sent it to every single supporter of the other move, which I did not and other editors not involved in Deadmaus/5 also voiced their support for Tech N9ne. If it makes you feel better I did not know about Canvassing prior to this discussion, and I also planned to post it at the WP: WikiProject Hip hop but it is not very active. STATic message me! 22:02, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Oh I don't doubt at all your intentions are to improve the encyclopedia. I was assuming good faith right from the start. People often have the best of intentions but still run afoul of guidelines about dispute resolution processes here. The thing is, I can't quite reconcile your comments "I am not trying to push my vote" with your multiple messages inviting people to comment "to overturn another horrible move". (And your dismissal of certain editors as "the MOS warriors pushing their bureaucratic barrage across the Wikipedia" actually makes this worse, not better.) Can we find a way forward here? Would you be willing to post neutral messages on the talk pages of editors who had the opposite position at Deadmau5/s as your own? Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 22:26, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

I think if you were more familiar with the artist you would understand my passion about the discussion as many were with the Deadmau5 move, which I barely even had discussion in. I would but the only opposers outside of two random IPs have already commented at Talk: Tech Nine so there would be no point. Also keep in mind I only invited some supporters among one or two uninvolved editors. STATic message me! 22:36, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Passion is fine; sometimes in discussions heated passion can give the impression (intended or not) that one does not respect the opinions of other editors opposing one's own.

You have notified 13 editors who support your own position on Deadmau5 and would be expected to support your same position on Tech Nine. This is a problem; you are pulling in a biased sample, or at least it has that appearance. I see that in the discussion at Talk:Deadmau5/Archive 1#Requested move 1 there are still quite a few editors who hold an opinion different than yours who could be invited. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 23:01, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Note that I am opening a discussion at WP:ANI but I emphasize this is not with any intent to punish or embarrass you. I take you at your word that you had not previously seen WP:CANVASS, and I do believe you are attempting to improve the encyclopedia. But I need guidance from other people about how to handle a discussion (Talk:Tech Nine#Requested move 2) when this kind of canvassing has occurred. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 01:42, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

In all civility you have to be kidding me? There is not need for a big old drama filled discussion. If you want me to apologize I will, and in hindsight I should have not done it, but it was just an attempt to notify members of the community that would not have previously seen the discussion. Should I have chosen my words better? Yes, but do not drag my name through the mud and make me go through that process -.- I was not even around for the origional move discussion, and it was not even on the talk page anymore so I had not seen it. STATic message me! 01:55, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

("In all civility"—I like that!) No, no, I'm not trying to pressure you to apologize. I really went out of my way to word my opening comments in the discussion to avoid any impression that I am trying to drag your name through the mud. The intention with the canvassing guideline is to ensure that when there is a dispute that a fair sample of the community shows up to offer their perspectives on the dispute, and my intention here is only to resolve my concern that it is a biased sample that is showing up at this particular move request. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 02:06, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

That is not true however, I invited them to vote and they could have voted however they want. Only about six I think even commented on it so it is not that big of a deal. I did not even nominate it for the move. STATic message me! 02:09, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Certainly they could vote however they want; the issue is that they were very likely to hold a similar position on Tech Nine as they did on Deadmau5. And six is more than enough to sway a consensus. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 02:13, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

All it takes in common sense, or should we use a name for the article the subject has never been referred as? Since you know that make sense.. If it is the right policy backed name then it is not swaying consensus. More voters would still be in support even if I did not notify the others. STATic message me! 02:16, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Big Sean's album

Switch Up is not a single, google it. It was a promotional non-commercial song put out just for his fans, hence why it never charted on the hot 100. So i'm not sure why you changed my edit when it was correct.

He announced that he released it as the second single off the album, and it did chart hence the reason it has a Wikipedia page. The song was sent to retail so yes it was a single and he has not even said Beware is the second single, it was called the third. You have not provided any reliable source for your change. STATic message me! 19:23, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

No it did not chart on the hot 100, it charted on the irrelevant hip hop rap songs chart an i'm not sure why you think i'm making this up, leave my edit. He tweeted that Switch Up is not a single off the album. Proof: https://twitter.com/BigSean/status/320652626431709184

Just because a song did not chart on the Hot 100 does not make it a single, and I would seriously refute your proclaimed irrelevance of the chart. Was it released to iTunes for retail sale? Yes? Then it is a single, many reliable sources call it the second single off the album and "Beware" the third. See the article for Promotional single, they are released for free. Thank you for providing a source but he can call it whatever he wants, see the article for single. STATic message me! 00:04, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Just because a song is released on itunes doesn't mean it's a single...have you heard of promotional singles? It's 90% of the time when a single flops (see Love This Life by T.I. (hence does not chart well on the hot 100...(aka only chart that matters realistically). Also, a majority of people barely know anything about the album so of course they call it the 3rd single. The artist himself tweeted that the song is not an official single so i don't know why you insist on being bitter about this.

I already fixed it so I am not sure what you are complaining about. I gave you the link to what a promotional single is, you are just making up a definition for it. Just because you think a song flopped does not make it a promotional single. See the link, what does it say? "Switch Up" (featuring Common) - Single. STATic message me! 06:21, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Last time i'm gonna bother replying to this denial. Every single song that comes out before an album is released is labeled as a "single" by iTunes...they're not gonna put "promotional single" in front of the songs name. My source was literally straight from the artist himself so refuting it is just childish.

You are the one acting childish and making up definitions of words to try to push your opinion. Again, the article has already been changed to reflect this so stop complaining. STATic message me! 06:47, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Good evening. Till I Die also flopped, but that doesn't mean that the song is not the third single of Fortune. Switch Up is the same; it was released as the second official single, deal with it. Greets --188.109.161.47 (talk) 18:32, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

I added a section called promotional singles due to the fact that he confirmed that they were not singles on twitter (and they didn't make the final track list) so don't flip and change it back because if you look, Beware is the only song that made the final track list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shoka1234 (talk • contribs) 12:13, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Well look at that, it was reverted. It does not matter if he wants to call them singles or not (he called Guap and Fire singles many many times). The song were released for retail sale and were still included on widely distributed versions of the album, so they are singles from the album. And they will still that way on the article.

Vjmlhds (talk) 14:45, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

To be honest, I do not think so I mean if you remember WWEJobber had much better spelling and grammar so I would not suspect him.

STATic message me! 17:10, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Spring Breakers genre

Hey there. You tell me "There are many many sources that call it that, but thanks for your opioion." but on the Talk page of the film's article you say "A wide variety, if not the majority of these sources do not cite the movie as a comedy at all". Contradicting. Your own research backs my edits, so would you please revert them back? It's very much questionable that the film is a comedy, however it is not questioned at all that's a drama. Presence of humor alone is not a enough to define a comedy as such and that's why most reliable sources (i.e: IMDB) call it a drama. Cataloging it as a comedy will make people come across this movie when looking into, reading about or referencing comedies, and this would be a mistake. Thank you. — Santiago Mendez 06:30, 15 July 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valkian (talk • contribs)

See the whole conversation and the sources provided by both sides in that discussion. IMDB consists of user generated content, so it is very far from a reliable source. AllMovie among other sources call it a comedy, which it clearly is in part. Your WP:OR that the movie is not a comedy is not going to cut it. STATic message me! 10:57, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

It's not clear to me at all that's a comedy, just as it's not a thriller or a suspense movie, even though it has elements of both. But don't take my word for it, here is the film file from one of the movie's production companies: http://annapurnapics.com/main/springbreakers.html#synopsis designating it a drama. Does it get any more official than that? The other sources are either critics or movie sites, this is the people who made and financed the film. If anything, the article should at least first call it a drama, and then either in parenthesis or a comment, let know that certain cited sources also call it a comedy. Yet not include it in the comedy category. — Santiago Mendez 16:36, 15 July 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valkian (talk • contribs)

Sorry, we go off of what critics and other reliable sources call the movie, not what the production company wants to designate it as. In the lead it can say it is a "drama and comedy film.." but that really does not make a difference. STATic message me! 16:45, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Would you care to elaborate why critics and other sources are more reliable than this? I'd like to think it's not just your opinion. — Santiago Mendez 17:23, 15 July 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valkian (talk • contribs)

It is not very hard to understand, we at Wikipedia use reliable third party sources not self published sources or sources that come directly from the subject/its associates, especially when it comes to genres.

Sorry for the Switch Up. :)

I thought that "Switch Up" wasn't a single due to the fact that it hasn't charted well and was never serviced to rhythimic, mainstream radio. Sorry :). Please accept my apology.

No worries, as long as a song is sent to just iTunes as single by itself (not just with the pre-order for the album) and still appears on the standard or a widely issued deluxe edition (ie. not one for just Best Buy or Wal Mart) then it is a official single. Otherwise we can call it a promotional single. And not to mention, Sean has said multiple times the song will be on the album, and a music video was shot. We can not just detonate a song a promotional single just because some people didn't think it charted well, and the artist says it wasn't a "single". He released it for retail sale by itself, which makes it a single. STATic message me! 19:22, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

The Game

Game is signed to Rolex Records and has left Interscope Records, where's your proof of his current label. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ACBContent (talk • contribs) 21:30, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

See the "Other ventures" section, less than a week ago Rolex Records was renamed "The Firm" due to legal issues with Rolex. And he is in talks with resigning with Interscope, but if you want to move it to former labels that is fine. STATic message me! 21:36, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Where's your proof and if he's in talks he's still not resigned to them. Also what about Rolex Records why did you change that?— Preceding unsigned comment added by ACBContent (talk • contribs)

Can you not read? Rolex Records is now The Firm, which is sourced in the section in the article which I just told you about. And in this interview he says he is having meetings with Interscope about resigning, that is why I said move it to former if you want to. STATic message me! 08:10, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

He's still not signed to Interscope so please move that back to former.— Preceding unsigned comment added by ACBContent (talk • contribs)

But if he released a third single from Jesus Piece it would be released under Interscope not The Firm or any other label. And it is more than likely he will be resigning with them. STATic message me! 05:28, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

When there's proof of that you can do that but for now he's not apart of Interscope, and Jesus Piece was released under Interscope so therefore they'll release the singles from the album. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ACBContent (talk • contribs)

So that would imply that he still has a contractual deal with Interscope, but as I said before I will move them to former labels. STATic message me! 00:39, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

I am not going to go around and edit war for you, considering all your edits are not correct. I was just correcting the capitalization of "New wave". Some information for you would be that in Wikipedia numbers under 13 are spelled out, never put "st, th, etc" after numbers, and dates should be written Month, Day, Year. Not following that goes against the MoS. STATic message me! 15:51, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Breathe Carolina genre

I think you are wrong, the fact that you don't let me change the genres is ridiculous. First of all, one source is enough to change a genre and second, we are not talking about hip hop. Acording of what you are telling me, we should put Electronic * rock and this is not correct because that is not the genre, the genre is electronic rock and in the same way, electronica is more general and limited. So you should think more about the fact that this is not hip hop, the fact that one VALID source is enough to change the genre and that not necessarily this must have only one or two genres. Thanks. Justasaddream (talk) 10:29, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

One single source is definitely not enough to change the genre in the infobox. I am not telling you we should put Electronic * rock, I have been trimming it to electronic rock this whole time and you seem to agree? Again see Template: Infobox musical artist, there should not be 4-5 genres in the infobox only the genres that most reliable sources refer to them as, which is clearly electronic rock.

I'm confused, but its okay! ChicagoWiz 16:35, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Like an example would be, the Billboard Hot 100 is basically a combination of the Digital and Airplay charts, so if it charted on the Hot 100 we do not list the digital or airplay charts. Just like the Hot R&B Songs chart is a component of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart. If you understand now? STATic message me! 17:11, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Flat lists Don't Look Down

Although I agree the consensus for infobox album is a little muddled, in principle project access agreed that {{flat list}} is more accessible than a standard comma-separated lists. On the basis that I had already added {{flat list}} to Don't Look Down and there is no specific reason for their removal, I've reverted your removal of the template. On the basis that you have removed it because you dislike the template and prefer the way that comma lists look, yet time and effort was made to put the template in place so it shouldnt have been removed. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 21:13, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

The specific removal reason is that at Template talk: Infobox album#Flat lists there is more consensus for using comma separated lists rather than the flatlists. If you want to put your two cents in the discussion there go ahead. But have flatlists goes against the guideline of the template, "list items should be separated by commas." STATic message me! 21:33, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

A template which ignores WP:ACCESS, which is a proven benefit to disabled/less-able sighted readers and an accepted part of Manuel of Style. Just because the template guidance hasn't been updated doesn't mean there's no consensus to use it. The fact is that its inclusion makes no difference to your use of the article but its inclusion vastly improves the experience of others who might be hard of sight. Therefore its exclusion means someone loses out but its inclusion has no impact on users like you or I who are able-sighted. Thus one its in place WP:ACCESS changes should not be reverted. Its called being WP:BOLD and applying logic. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 22:33, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Where is this implemented study that it is a "proven benefit to disabled/less-able sighted readers". It is not just a routine update to be done in every template, and maybe the original discussion needed more basic thought into it. The real fact it that there is zero consensus on the talk page of the template to use it, effectively ignoring the templates guideline that entries are to be separated by commas. The loss is that it does not look very good, and it is harder to edit and put together as you said in your original post. Also, logic has nothing to do with this kind of debate. STATic message me! 22:45, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

If there was no use for the the template then why would the people over that WP:ACCESS create the template and promote its use? Its not harder to edit it makes no difference. As an able sighted reader you simply find the template ugly yet less able sighted readers, particularly those who use screen benefitting technology benefit massively. What you find as "looking ugly" is personal opinion but you are not personally disadvantaged by the inclusion of flat-list whereas someone using screen reader technology benefit from its inclusion. That's where the logic element comes in. (p.s. its already been implemented at {{Infobox single}} so it obviously does have a use) — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 23:49, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

I never said it would not be helpful in different areas on the article, such as the tracklist looks good with the flat list. Funny how you claim it to be my "personal opinion" when many other seasoned editors at Template talk: Infobox album are stronger opinionated against them, then me and the consensus is clearly in favor of not including than in that template. Yes I know it was already implemented at Infobox single, but this is a case to case bases on usage in the particular template, which at the time does not include the use of flat lists in its documentation and has no consensus to add them, so they should not be used.

Do not come and delete whatever you want just because. It will be much appreciated. --Orr971 (talk) 13:42, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I just searched Wikipedia and it was there. The only reason I removed it as, it is WP:CRYSTALBALLing and unreleased albums are not usually kept in the discography section, and they are already covered in the body of the article. I know they are all true, and I am also a big fan, it is just that they do not need to be included in the summary of his works, till they are actually released. STATic message me! 13:37, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Well, I guess as long as they all have release dates then they can stay, just in the future do not add albums that do not have release dates to the section. Anything else backed by a reliable source can be mentioned in the article body. I just do not want the section to turn into listing stuff like, "TBA featuring Action Bronson". You know albums they only mention once, but probably will not come for a while. STATic message me! 13:47, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

And you're right about that list thing... bye man. ADDITION: The Boldy James album HAS a date, So it's there.

I and three other people have warned him and told him to start the discussion. Either the page is supposed ti stay as it was while the discussion is going on. BlackDragon 18:13, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Because he is right, the song is not a single and has not received a retail sale release as a single. So unless you have a official reference of a radio, iTunes, or Amazon.com release as a SINGLE, do not add it. You have been told countless times to discuss, and it is time to start a discussion. Maybe 3 people have told him, but around ten have told you to start discussing now. You could have spent the time writing that message, towards leaving a message on Template talk: Green Day.

Then they can have content about them right in the section above, as long as it is backed by reliable sources. Once we have a title and a release date then they can be added to the discography.

Edit Hopsin and Unearth albums

Its not my opinion if you listen to the artists then you will realize why i changed the genres, just because there is no link does not stop what you hear. its not disruptive as there is no pop genre added to a metal band page, Hopsin makes positive, alternative and conscious hip hop that's why i added the genres. In the normal broad term hip hop is referring to radio hip hop and Hopsin is an underground artist. as for Unearth, they are not generally "Metalcore" they have thrash tendencies recently and have a metallic hardcore influence of Hatebreed. they have introspective lyrics that make you think, not what modern Metalcore means now talking about relationships and hearbreak. So why change it back when its clearly heard when you listen to them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Extremevic (talk • contribs) 18:55, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

So where are your reliable sources to support your opinions on the genres of the artists and the albums? Or are you just a WP:GENREWARRIOR? Calling Raw "positive hip hop" is just ridiculous and completely factually untrue. And genres on pages such as Hopsin should just have general genres, not list every subgenre someone thinks they are (Template: Infobox musical artist). STATic message me! 19:01, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

A link for Hopsin? here. And if you don't think "Raw" is positive, then you clearly cant hear. The track "Nocturnal Rainbows" is about being blind to the decay of society and against drug use, that is positive hip hop or Conscious hip hop.

That is very far from a reliable source by Wikipedia standards. You might want to see WP:ALBUM/REVSITE for examples of reliable sources for music. Yes I know the song, but are you now calling songs like "Sag My Pants", or "Kill Her" "positive" or "conscious hip hop". Again if you want to change the genre you need multiple reliable sources that call the album specifically one genre or another. STATic message me! 19:36, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

UGHH is always correct with producer credits it is a retail site that has the albums in advanced and it was correct with all the production credits that were already listed so how could they be wrong. Maybe Chad Hugo produced the song but just isn't credited in the booklet, where else would we ever find a source for these producers anyway until we do we should just keep the info.

Again, UGHH is not a reliable source per WP:ALBUM/SOURCES if you wanna start a discussion on the WP:ALBUM talk page to add it to WP:ALBUM/SOURCES be my guest, and if it is added then we can use it throughout all album articles as a reliable source. I have trouble trusting a retailer where one of its main items for sale it graffiti tools. Always correct? There is definitely not true. We can always wait till the album releases, and use the information that is backed by undeniable reliable sources. Also Discogs is user generated, and just as reliable as IMDB, they probably copied the information from the article anyways. STATic message me! 17:55, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

We could, it happens sometimes. Considering the page is protected till November a actual editor would have to add them (I assume someone will buy the album). We already have 90% of the credits backed by reliable sources including newspapers, with only three tracks that have no producers. It is no big deal that it is incomplete if the album is not released yet. I mean UGHH already got "Chum" wrong for sure and I have a feeling "Uncle Al" at least had some production by the The Alchemist judging by the name alone. We should just leave it blank till a reliable source reports those separate songs producers. If you are interested in taking UGHH to the WP:ALBUM talk page, I would love to see if anyone else thinks it meets the reliable source guideline, because I currently do not.

Wiz Khalifa discography / Hate Bein' Sober

Thanks for this – I'd been humming and ha-ing about it for a little while, as those were singles all released when that was the primary format that Khalifa released his work in (similar to "Otherside" (Remix) by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis). However, I have one question: was "Hate Bein' Sober" actually a single? I can't find any digital download release, or radio release date, that suggests that it was. I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 12:44, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

You're welcome, I hate to see when someone just throws all an artists first few singles in a "promotional singles" section, only because they were just released to iTunes. It's like they expected them to be released to radio when they're signed to an independent label. And with Hate Bein' Sober, it is not in the FMQB archives but for all we know it could have been sent to urban radio, but not many sites report on that. Also maybe Interscope canceled its release after Keef did not show up to the video shoot, or Keef's jail sentence in January.

Interestingly, the Billboard reference is the most recently published of the four: as it says that a release date had not yet been decided, it renders the proclamations in the other, earlier sources that it was destined for a single release a little premature, so perhaps they're not the best sources to determine this point. As in the case of songs like "Pyro" by T.I., websites and magazines often say any new song released by an artist is a "new single" when a single release ends up not happening (I'm still not convinced "Diced Pineapples" was ever a single, as I never found any official release information). Although Billboard have revealed single release dates before, at least in this case they've confirmed that the release actually happened. I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 14:57, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I can see that the Billboard source says there was not a official decided radio add date. I have seen a lot of instances where the new leaked/released song is named a "single", but as far as I can tell "Hate Bein Sober" was universally reported as the album's third single. The funny thing about the "Black Skinhead" release is that it never appeared on FMQB, AllAccess, or any of the radio release websites. If Billboard had not reported that we would have never knew it had a release date.Back to HBS, the thing with radio add dates is unless FMQB reports it (and archives it), the information is kind of lost to never be found. For all we know it could have been posted by AllAccess or Frequency and someone missed it. There is also His latest single, The G-Unit general made a cameo on the recent Keef single "Hate Bein' Sober,", new single “Hate Bein Sober” that are even more recent then the Billboard source. STATic message me! 18:28, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

What I find quite confusing is that some radio release dates only appear on one or two of the sites mentioned above, when you'd think each one would pick them up (being an official radio airplay tracker). Actually, Radio & Records (which shut down as a magazine in 2009 but still tracks release dates) does use an archiveable system which is easy to search, but (ironically) they pick up fewer dates than any of the other sites. I can't find anything there, either. "Might have missed it" is not a decent justification to suggest it may have been sent to radio: I agree it well could have happened but if we don't have a reference, we don't have proof of a release. I tend to discount anything simply saying "new single" without any backing claim as publications, as I alluded to above, often incorrectly use the phrase to describe any new song that appears online. However, seeing as these are reliable sources that have widely made this claim, as you say, I'm not that inclined to be bold and revert it to being just a song: until one of us finds more decisive proof that it was absolutely and clearly not a single. Put it this way: should someone attempt to expand the article to GA status there is no way it could be shown as a single, but as that's not currently the case the search for a proper ref can remain ongoing before we make any changes ourselves.

(It's just occurred to me how odd it is how we're both spending all this time debating over one tiny aspect of a moderately well-known song when there are far more important articles on more widely discussed encyclopedic topics that could use our care and attention. But I just don't have the motivation...) I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 16:21, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Z-Ro Editing

Hello, Static the reason why I've edited the label, instruments, and website information is because I've researched that information. His album booklet contains the name of the record company the album is under. Also, he produces his own music from time to time, which was also confirmed in his album booklets and he even spoke about producing his own music in interviews on YouTube. Lastly, that wasn't my Facebook information, that is his Facebook. He has his Instagram and Twitter linked to his Facebook profile. So, when he tweets from his verified profile on Twitter, it is posted on his Facebook wall. Also, an in an interview, he said that his Facebook name was, at the time, Rother Vandross, but it has changed since then. I'm friends with him on Facebook and I also follow him on Twitter. I am not a vandal, I'm just editing the page with current and legitimate information because he is one of my favorite artists.

MMLP2

Hi STATicVerseatide. I'm sure you meant best when reverting my edit of the heading "Confirmed tracks" to "Recorded tracks", but I kept "Recorded tracks" because I don't want this to be another Detox (seeing how many "confirmed" tracks were later scrapped). And something about the word "confirmed" seems crystal ball-ish and unencyclopedic. Maybe we can use just "Tracks" perhaps? I know a release date is given and there're only a few months left, but things can change at the last minute. "Berzerk" and "Survival" are most likely going to make it to the album, but just to be sure... —WP:PENGUIN · ^{[ TALK ]} 22:38, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Having recorded tracks is just going to open it up to abuse and more crystal balling. In the end "recorded tracks" are irrelevant, what is confirmed by multiple reliable sources to appear on the album is what is important. We should be telling our readers what has been confirmed to appear on the album, not what has been recorded. I can see the surplus of "TBA" featuring Kendrick Lamar, or "TBA" featuring Slaughterhouse, popping up as we speak. I mean if one song that was confirmed in the past, does not make the final tracklist it is no big deal in the end scheme of things. Think it is not a surplus of songs over years like Detox, it is just two songs that have been revealed in the last month. I was originally questionable of "Survival"'s appearance, but after ABC News, and The Detroit Free Press reported it, we need a reliable source explicitly saying that the song will not appear on the album. With "Berzerk" being the first single, that would make every song listed confirmed to be on the album. STATic message me! 23:59, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Sources to avoid

Please check the text at WP:ALBUMS/SOURCES#Sources to avoid paragraph 3. "Online retailers such as iTunes and Amazon.com should also be avoided. ... Track listings, release dates, record label, album covers and track lengths can all be found at Allmusic.—Iknow23 (talk) 06:43, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Now, I see what you mean about Allmusic only listing CD here. They USED TO show Digital also. What happened? But if you really insist on WP:ALBUMS/SOURCES that's the one to use.—Iknow23 (talk) 06:58, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

"Should be avoided" is not the same as "proven unreliable". And even that wording needs discussion since iTunes is the best source when it comes to proof of single releases and such. It really says not to use them as a way to promote the subject, but iTunes is used throughout in many GAs. Either way your revert did not make sense as this clearly supports a release to CD format in three different formats. They do not really need to show a DD release, we have iTunes for that. I mean it is kind of a no shit type of thing when it comes to a US number 1 album being released in CD format. STATic message me! 07:03, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

I still see Amazon used all the time. There is a discrepancy in it being listed in "List of unreliable sources (with link to relevant discussion)" as there is NO link provided to the "relevant discussion". Instead the link just goes to Amazon.com.

I'm not disputing that CDs exist, just that it is unsourced. How can we just assume that CDs were issued in all the countries? And CD and digital download dates are often different, here we are showing them to be the same. Example Magna Carta Holy Grail#Release history...UK has digital date of July 8, 2013 and CD date of July 22, 2013.—Iknow23 (talk) 07:33, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Just remembered about Import CDs. They show that they were not released in those markets. They are imported (just shipped in) from somewhere else that DID release it on CD. So some countries DON'T have a CD release, even though their iTunes is selling it digitally. iTunes can only source its own format (digital download). Thus if CD is listed for a country, it needs a different source for verification of the CD format....Well, after all that...A new thought...I think wikipedia should ONLY use "Limited release history" sections showing ONLY the country of First Release (to coincide with the infobox release date) AND the artist's Home Country. Is it really that notable to know the Release date per format of EVERY country??? Isn't that really an indiscriminate collection of information as in Excessive listings of statistics??—Iknow23 (talk) 04:01, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

You are right, I have always thought that too. See the release history of some pop albums such as Don't Look Down, where they have nearly every country that has an iTunes in the release history section. But if I am not mistaken, a good extensive release history is usually looked for when looking over an album for GAN. That is why I usually only bother looking up and adding major countries (Australia, US, UK, France, Germany etc.) you know the countries that usually get a CD release along with digital download release of major albums.

I'm actually telling the truth, if i went to court about this subject I would have all the right evidence to win the case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mistamidnight (talk • contribs) 15:52, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

If it was notable and verifiable if a website posted the song and credited your production. It could very well be seen as promotion, since there is no source for you producing the song, you do not know how many times random producers try to add their name to Wikipedia. If you really produced it why were you not credited? And why would we at Wikipedia credit someone for producing/writing a song if they were not credited by the artist or label? STATic message me! 16:01, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

I had no control over the credits, Chief Keef didn't credit me and I've already spoken to him about it. He said he would tell Lil Reese to change it but nothing happened. It isn't my fault why I didn't get credited. Try seeing things from my point of view. I'm getting no recognition for my hard work and it's not easy to get your music to a major artist either. Just look at this tweet he made about me, I'm not lying for exposure https://twitter.com/ChiefKeef/status/289685606169202689 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mistamidnight (talk • contribs) 16:24, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Can I ask you a question

Hello. Thanks for your greeting. Can I ask you a question? You are a WP:REVIEWER, but I have never seen infoboxes like one on the page ru:Очень страшное кино 5 (21 edits have not been reviewed yet) or ru:Caran d’Ache (this article has never been reviewed yet). Where can I see these infoboxes? Sergey Cepblu (talk) 18:06, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Rick Ross discography

Can you point out for me where you see the No.59 for R&B chart in this source as you have indicated in this edit? When R&B chart peaks are selected on Billboard for Wale, there is no peak for "Poor Decision". What makes you assume that removing unverifiable peaks constitutes disruptive editing?--Harout72 (talk) 19:27, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

That source I just linked you to the Bubbling Under R&B/HH Songs chart, which shows a peak of 9 on the chart. Since the normal chart now only consists of 50 chart positions, 50+9=59. The peak is verified, I do not know what you are not seeing or not understanding. And continuing reverting after the facts have been shown is disruptive. STATic message me! 19:34, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

R&B chart has 100 slots as Hot 100. Look at the peak of Wale's single "Actin' Up", No.87. Your source, I'm afraid doesn't at all support No.59, therefore, we cannot have that peak in the table unless it does appear in Wale's R&B section. All of the peaks currently are meticulously supported, so should the peak for "Poor Decision" be, for verification purposes.--Harout72 (talk) 19:57, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Maybe you have not paid attention to music in awhile, Billboard downgraded the R&B Hip/Hop chart to 50 positions in October 2012. So peaks from before then still would be in the R&B section. I am going to restore it one final time, and it is time to stop. If you follow this link {{BillboardURLbyName|artist=wale|chart=Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Songs}} https://www.billboard.com/artist/wale/chart-history/bubbling-under-r%26b/hip-hop-songs, it takes you to the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Songs section. STATic message me! 20:03, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

You are really not behaving as someone who's edited wikipedia for as long as you have. Even if what you're saying is true for R&B chart having been reduced by 50 slots, we should not have any Bubbling Under.... peaks in the column of R&B, because Bubbling Under... charts aren't considered part of the main charts.--Harout72 (talk) 20:12, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

I am, your attitude and continued reverting even after sources were provided, is what is frustrating me. Yes it was cut back, just like the Rap Songs chart is only 25 positions now. Well maybe that is something you should take up with the wider projects, because bubbling under positions are always included. It needs a note to go along with it, but the position is definitely true and verifiable. STATic message me! 20:17, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Bubbling Under peaks can be included, but only in footnotes. WP:Record charts is explicit that the songs are to be listed as uncharted with a footnote indicating the Bubbling Under position. Bubbling Under charts do not extend the main charts. They are related, certainly, but they are not an extension.—Kww(talk) 23:46, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

User:Kww, It did not matter to me if it is was or not, the other editor just insisted on removing it even after a reference was clearly provided, and I am not knowledgeable on how to put together footnotes that well or I would have added one from the beginning. It is just my opinion that it does look better with the number, and if anyone is confused by the higher number the footnote is right there to explain it. And if they are not an "extension" of the chart, what could they possibly be? They are the songs, that are in order of closest to charting on the main chart. STATic message me! 23:50, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Actually, they are the list of highest songs that would normally be eligible for the chart that have never been on the main chart. That's why the whole "add 25/50/100/whatever" thing doesn't work, and why they aren't an extension. If a song makes it to the Hot 100, and then falls to being the 101st most popular song, it doesn't show as number 1 on the Bubbling Under chart: it drops off both lists completely. The only time positions 1-25 on the Bubbling Under would ever actually be 101-125 on an "extended" chart would be if no song that had ever been on the Hot 100 at any time in history would have been in positions 101-125. I'm willing to bet that that has never happened on any chart.—Kww(talk) 00:21, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

In that sense, you are 100% right I had forgotten that it does not include songs that already had reached the target chart. STATic message me! 00:26, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Either way the song is still not notable per WP:NSONGS as I have explained. If you see you would know that if a song has not been significantly covered in reliable sources and has not charted it does not deserve a Wikipedia article. STATic message me! 19:36, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi mate. You want to discuss your changes here or on the talk page?--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 19:40, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Is there anything to discuss really? It was unsourced and consensus on the talk page indicated that thrash metal was not a significant genre of the album. Not to mention the discussion on genres on the talk page is littered with WP:OR. Heavy metal and hard rock are good, we do not need and we should not list a bunch of subgenres. STATic message me! 19:48, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

I've been editing that article quite awhile and I know what the reviews are. There are few reviews who indicate thrash (Loudwire, Spin and PopMatters). But I won't waste your time arguing for something not that important. My point was to discuss genre changes to talk page because they're a touchy subject.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 19:59, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Well, I had edited the article in its early stages and randomly just visited the article again. Since I saw there was an unsourced genre and more than two (there is no need for any more than three in the template. I had just assumed a random IP had added it or something since it was unreferenced. Then once I was that the consensus on the talk page was that the genre was not that significant I removed it. To appear in the infobox we should have multiple sources calling it a "-insert genre- album", not that certain tracks have an influence of it. STATic message me! 04:21, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Discography Rules

Ok befor eI edit further I just want to clarify something(s): Does the discography for an artist have to include all of their works with others such as a group or collaboration album? Also the rules behind the discography have been changed so many times. Are these rules voted adn then put into effect? Who exactly decides them? And I'm assuming the ideal discography sections should emulate the ones on Too Short and 50 Cent's articles? Banan14kab (talk) 06:11, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

If you see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lists of works)#Discographies it is a list of the artists major works, this always includes all solo albums, and if a collaboration album is really significant such as Watch the Throne or the D12 albums to Eminem. If the artist is newer (has released less then three albums) then it is okay to include their very notable mixtapes (at the minimum they must have articles). 50 Cent and Too Shorts are not really correct, because they should just be lists rather then separating the solo from collaboration, like how Eminem's is currently done.

I don't care what you say. I will always leave order of death sections.

You claim its unpublished? I sourced (with two sources), my last one I did. You didn't accept them. Further, you say there is a ban on original research? Then how does any film have a plot. I checked the plot section for dozens of movies, none of which have citations. Show me where there are cites or "non-original" research in any of the plots, and I will concede this point to you.

Lists are not banned by Wikipedia rules (they are discouraged, but it does say that they are appropriate in some cases and I can point you to hundreds of lists on Wikipedia).

The Order of Deaths goes directly to the plot, so it is not "trivia."

How does it? You need to specifically explain that to me rather than just gave me that. According to Wikipedia, "Songs and singles are probably notable if they have been the subject[1] of multiple, non-trivial[2] published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label." Here are several notable links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY2H2ZP56K4; http://www.okayafrica.com/2012/06/12/video-p-square-x-rick-ross-beautiful-onyinye/; http://www.bellanaija.com/2012/06/12/bn-video-premiere-p-square-feat-rick-ross-beautiful-onyinye-remix/

"1.Has been ranked on national or significant music or sales charts." African songs aren't popular like American and European songs and there's not a lot of information online. Also, there isn't a major music chart website like billboard. The closest thing to Billboard in Africa is Afribiz Top 100 chart, a weekly chart that compiles music from West, East, Central, and Southern Africa.

"2.Has won one or more significant awards or honors, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award." Again, something that's not known worldwide can't possibly get nominated for the aforementioned awards, can it?

"3.Has been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands, or groups." Beautiful Onyinye has been released as a recording. The track is on iTunes. Here's the link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/beautiful-onyinye-feat.-rick/id580462837?i=580462842

I've dissected Wikipedia's statements and don't see why "Beautiful Onyinye" doesn't qualify as a "notable song".

Wikipedia also states:"Coverage of a song in the context of an album review does not establish notability. If the only coverage of a song occurs in the context of reviews of the album on which it appears, that material should be contained in the album article and an independent article about the song should not be created."

According to the above statement, you don't have the right to delete the single because if it isn't "notable", the information should be "contained in the album article and an independent article about the song should not be created."

Whatever angle you look at it from, you're wrong for deleting the "Beautiful Onyinye" article. I see that you've written numerous hip hop articles. How would you like it if I deleted your articles and tell you, "WP:NSONGS"? I'm pretty sure you wouldn't appreciate people who don't give 2 cents about your contribution to wikipedia. versace1608 23:07, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

---

P.S, there are numerous hip-hop, pop, country, and etc songs that haven't been nominated for any of the awards listed above. Yet, there are articles of them on Wikipedia. The last time I check, Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia aimed at educating the word through information. If articles about P-Square (one of Africa's biggest musical duo) and other african musicians aren't created, how can people who are trying to learn about these artists know about them?

All of those are not reliable sources, especially YouTube. So you admit the song has not charted on any major music chart, and has not been nominated for any major awards? Since all three of those points are not met the song should not have a Wikipedia article per WP:NSONGS. You are reading the policy extremely wrong in many places. Threatening me with deletion is laughable because you can't, and I make sure every single article I create undeniably meets WP:NSONGS, which you should do before you create an song article.

I am not threatening you. I only said you wouldn't appreciate it if someone else deleted your work. I can't delete your work and don't want to.

There are numerous songs on Wikipedia that do not have chart singles and nominations. Why don't you delete them? Just because a song doesn't have charts information and nominations, doesn't mean it doesn't deserve to have an article. P-Square have other songs that have recieved accolades. Not every song an artist makes recieve nominations and awards. To say that an article needs to recieve accolades before its worthy to have a Wikipedia article is very bias my friend. If that was the case, all the tens of thousands of articles on Wikipedia should be deleted and you should delete them because you are the founder of Wikipedia and you made the rules. I am tired exchanging words with you. I am going to find an administrator who's not bias; moreover, someone who understand and can appreciate contributor's works.versace1608 00:34, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

As I have already told you this article is not eligible for CSD#A7 as there is a "credible claim of significance or importance" namely the collaboration with other notable musicians and the release of a number of albums. GiantSnowman 13:42, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Just having a few songs with artists with questioned notability, and releasing a bunch of not notable albums on, not notable labels does not make an artist notable himself. The notability is not inherited from other artists by having them appear on his songs, or every single rapper that made a song with an artist with a Wikipedia article, would have a Wikipedia article. STATic message me! 13:49, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

As I've already told you - somebody being non-notable does not make them eligible for CSD. As A7 says, "the criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines." Aa this article has made a claim to notability - albeit one which may not pass our standards - it is not eligible for A7. GiantSnowman 14:08, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

More re: TopNotch

Please look at the article and see how notable it is: I think WP:BEFORE should have applied here. Same with Salah Edin, which I'm asking to be restored--he's got three albums, at least one with TopNotch, and there's plenty of news coverage. I consider both of these nominations a bit hasty. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 14:41, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

I know much about the policies, such as WP:BEFORE. To be honest I had nominated it due to the lack of references and the amount of red-linked artists, and articles that had been A7ed for promotion/being not notable. But I have seen the expansion to the article you did, and it looks great now! Notability is not even a question. WP:BEFORE really only applies to AfD's, it is on the administrator to decided if the article is notable or not. I had been using User:AlexNewArtBot/HipHopSearchResult, since the bot had been down for almost a month prior (it is still down), and I was quickly skimming through them to get the many not notable ones, that probably would not have been noticed if I hadn't. STATic message me! 15:09, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Well, I don't care so much for the policy as for the thought. Overtagging when such is not necessary increases the workload for us admins, and it is good practice to do at least a cursory search. Yes, that's more work, and yes, most of the times it delivers nothing, but there was enough in Salah Edin to at least make a credible claim of notability. In other words, please don't be too quick on the draw. Drmies (talk) 18:43, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

The only significance the article implied when I nominated it, was that his picture had been shown instead of a murders on the news by accident. There was nothing in the article that implied his musical career was anything of significance at all. Which explains why an administrator origionally deleted it (could have been BLPPRODed too). That is why users that create articles need to create half decent ones so their work and the notability is never questioned. Why do you think every time I create a BLP, I take at least 3-5 hours straight creating and referencing it? Because that is how to create an article, it should not be left for someone else to expand, and make it suffice the notability guidelines. STATic message me! 18:47, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi there,

I received a notification from you on the article that I posted about Songsbury. I am not quite understanding the reason for possible deletion as the article is unbiased and has valid references to support the items within the article.

Thanks for your help

--Songsbury (talk) 21:26, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

It is a generic COI message, since judging by your user name, you are either the subject writing an autobiography of yourself, or someone representing the subject. Judging by your contributions you seem to be a single purpose account and would have a conflict of interest. The reason for possible deletion is the subject not being notable per WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO, but that is on an administrator to decide. STATic message me! 21:33, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

The article is not an autobiography and I do not represent the artist I'm writing about. I'm a fan of the artist and the band that he is in. I'm a little unsure about how the subject may not be deemed notable as I have provided the proper references. How does it work with the administrators? How long does it take for them to make a decision on the article? I'm new to wikipedia as a contributor and I have other articles and contributions to articles I'd like to make, so I'm trying to better understand how the system and format goes.

Thanks again

--Songsbury (talk) 21:58, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Well making your username, the name of your first article was not a very smart decision as any editor would have assumed you were the subject. It all depends when they reach the article, sometimes fast, sometimes will take a day. It might be declined due to the newspaper coverage, but that was about the band not the subject. Maybe try to work on other existing articles to get a grip on things, cleaning up and adding references, stuff like that, before creating a bunch of articles. STATic message me! 22:10, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

I'm realizing that now...but it's a little too late to change. Although the articles were overall about the band, the artist was the one being interviewed and the journalist had asked questions about the artists music history and accomplishments. I thought that would've been an adequate reference to the details I posted. I will see what other reputable references I can find about the artist.

Hi, I used "Edit Beta" which probably messed up the source and I didn't realise that as I didn't even compare the changes. Re-edited it now by editing the source. Being a member of wikipedia for only the last 10 minutes, your message is clearly not what I was expecting :( Not the best way to welcome people, but hey...thats you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gulliverrr (talk • contribs) 19:22, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Young Sinatra: Welcome To Forever

Hey! Sure, I can make the Welcome To Forever discography page. I wasn't sure if I should since his other mixtapes don't have pages. I'll start it tomorrow & have it up as soon as possible. Thank you. NanishaOpaenyak (talk) 22:30, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

why is chris brown associated with lil wayne — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrColonelCortez (talk • contribs) 01:18, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Maybe, because Wayne has appeared on four out of five of Brown's albums. That is basically the definition of what Associated acts is for when it comes to collaborations. STATic message me! 01:27, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Runway Star

Hello,

I was wondering what happened to the wiki page for "Runway Star", after the changes were made her page redirects to "The Makerz" page which is currently under proposed deletion.

How can I get Runway Star's wiki back? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thefuture2027 (talk • contribs) 01:47, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

It was redirected by another user for failing WP:MUSICBIO, and being basically a copy of The Makerz, not to mention the only references were to their official site. STATic message me! 01:58, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Fly Union & The Greater Than Club

Could you please review the articles that I wrote for Fly Union and TGTC (The Greater Than Club) (Album). Feedback would be greatly appreciated as these are the first two articles that I have ever written on Wikipedia. Malcolmrevere (talk) 04:02, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

If those are really your first two articles, then really good job. Most new users do not understand the importance of citing reliable sources which you have, that is really good. STATic message me! 04:13, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you! Also, I suggest that check out Fly Union's music. TGTC is truly a modern day hip hop classic. Malcolmrevere (talk) 04:46, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Just wanted to thank you in a bit more personal way! For all your help, it's very appreciated :) NanishaOpaenyak (talk) 01:32, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, no problem at all. Its great to work with a positive contributing editor, and as big a Logic fan as I am.

Uncredited Vocals on NWTS

Okay I know I didn't put any reliable sources to show the vocals are there, but I have ears, and the least you could do was post a source instead of removing the *true* edit I made. Distortiondude (talk) 13:43, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

T.I. Trouble Man: Heavy Is the Head

Since you're gonna be ignorant and direct me to "promotional singles" definition on here, go look at "buzz single/advance single" off the same page. That's what those other songs are so stop ruining album info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shoka1234 (talk • contribs) 07:38, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Where does it say anywhere in any Wikipedia guideline that a song, only sent to iTunes is a promotional single? It does not because it is not true, so stop editing disruptive. Promotional singles are songs that are released for free or only to DJs, or songs that are regulated to store specific deluxe editions. If a song is released for RETAIL SALE, whether it is to iTunes or Amazon it is a single, end of story. Not to mention "Love This Life" was sent to radio. If anything I am the one drastically improving the article, and you are the one destroying it with you incorrect information and original research. STATic message me! 14:13, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

MMLP2

It seems that the IP guy was right. From CNBC:

The code will make available for purchase at the special price of $8.99 an edition of The Marshall Mathers LP 2 featuring not only the track “Survival,” but also a bonus, exclusive studio track.

I'm not trying go berzerk on you or anything, as I'm aware original reports were stating that "Survival" was the only bonus track. Zach Vega (talk to me) 22:58, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

I am pretty sure that most reliable sources reported the "Survival" was the bonus track, and it makes a lot of sense considering its affiliation with the game. Nice song reference though, that was amusing. STATic message me! 23:05, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

It says there's another bonus track in the press release from Activision. Zach Vega (talk to me) 23:08, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Fine, seems right, but it should not be mentioned in the confirmed tracks section as there is no name or anything confirmed about the song. It is mentioned elsewhere in the article that there will be a COD version with a bonus track.STATic message me! 00:09, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Good, from now on use a reliable source the first time you insert new content, not the third time. An experienced editor would know that. STATic message me! 03:00, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Jay-Z

I think you have misinterpreted the issues of edit warring. 1-no one has claimed I am wrong to state that Jay-Z is African-American, they have just stated that I am putting the notice of such in the wrong place. Each time I have placed it in a different place. I have placed it in a different way. So This is an overly broad interpretation of edit warring.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:28, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Two different editors have reverted you, and you have revert three times in the last 24 hours, see WP:3RR one more time and you will be blocked. I do not know what sorta agenda you are trying to push, by continuingly adding that his African-American, we have pictures of him we do not need to state it in the writing.

Sources for Ryback

Alrighty, so if I can find sources I can add them to the page? Does it have to be multiple sources, or just one showing him doing the move?

There has to be four-five reliable sources that call the move a signature move of his, not just sources that say he did the move. STATic message me! 15:12, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Long. Live. ASAP

Per MOS:CO, "should not conceal article content" does not exclude track listings, and the track listings do not "consolidate information covered in the main text", as the names of all the tracks are not covered in the main text. With a name like Wikimedia Foundation, I feel we must respect people who use text only web browsers. --Jax 0677 (talk) 18:45, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

You are mistaken, it is not concealing prose, which is what that is refering to. All FAs and GAs for album articles, see Thriller (Michael Jackson album), My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, only the standard most widely distributed tracklist (version of the album), is displayed prominently. We do not display extra track listings, bonus tracks or deluxe editions. We should not be giving the same weight to store specific bonus tracks or re-releases as the standard edition, but that might just be your lack of experience editing album articles, as this is always done in GAs and FAs. Template: Track listing also says to collapse additional track listings. STATic message me! 18:55, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

Reply - STATicVerseatide, thank you for your feedback. As far as I know, MOS:CO is not restricted to only prose. WRT "All FAs and GAs", WP:OSE. Template:Track listing says

"Include this parameter with the value yes (|collapsed=yes) to have the track listing table start out collapsed. Useful for very long lists or pages with several lists. This parameter only takes effect in JavaScript-enabled browsers."

It does not say "to collapse additional track listings".

The fact that FAs and GAs use this currently does not address the issue of physically challenged people who use text only browsers (see WP:WikiProject Accessibility/What is accessibility?#What kind of problems do they encounter?).

Wikipedia:Accessibility dos and don'ts specifically states: "Don't use scrolling lists or collapsible sections to conceal content. However, 'Collapsible sections or cells may be used in tables that consolidate information covered in the main text, and in navboxes', as explained in the related section of the Manual of Style."

"Ghetto Symphony" is mentioned nowhere else in Long. Live. ASAP. --Jax 0677 (talk) 18:07, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

This is universally done in album articles throughout the project, so it is not OSE, it is what is done. Why would we just have this one single article have them uncollapsed? If we were not allowed to collapse extra track listing (which is what is done), then there would not be a parameter for it on a fully-protected Template: Track listing. Unconcealing them just to show one single deluxe edition track that is not covered in the text, would be undue weight, which is the general reason deluxe edition and bonus tracks are collapsed, so only the standard most prominent version of the album is shown. STATic message me! 18:30, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Unnamed section

Dear user: You left a rather harsh message on my talk page stating that I made "unconstructive edits" to Escape Plan. I hate to inform you that you have been misinformed as I made no such edits. This being Friday night and all, I'm assuming that you are in a bad mood after a hard week's work and am ignoring your insolence. However, I will leave you with this suggestion, that before you post messages on other user's talk pages, you take a deep breath and count to ten before writing you message. This way, all Wikipedia will benefit.

Thank you and good night. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6002:6:5489:3696:24D7:3041 (talk) 01:10, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Re: Artpop redirects

Apologies for creating incorrect redirects. I did not realize I was viewing an unreliable source before, which is quite embarrassing. I hope the additional redirects I created are valid and adhere to the manual of style. If you are able, please feel free to assist with the deletion of the incorrect redirects I created before. Thank you. (Next time I will be more careful!) --Another Believer _(Talk) 17:28, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Oh no problem, if any of the songs are not 100% confirmed for the album you can blank the redirect and replace it with {{g7}}, to delete them. It is best not to correct redirects for every song on an album, because all of them are not likely to end up having articles or be plausible search terms.
