Hello!
Hi AB. I have been working on the list for Latin Jazz. I want to create articles for the albums that received the award, I think that would be more helpful. I am also currently nominated for another FL with the one I did for the Latin Grammys using your template. Cheers! Jaespinoza (talk) 21:53, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
- Do you want me to work on Juntos Para Siempre? I already did the disambiguation page for the article title. The album also won a Latin Grammy. Jaespinoza (talk) 20:22, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Super Bowl episode
Hey, thanks for starting the article! I'm working on it right now with the good amount of sources we have. Do you mind if I change the link in the navbox to "Untitled Super Bowl episode"? I'm thinking using "Glee Super Bowl episode" seems a bit redundant since it's a Glee navbox. Yves (talk) 22:17, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Questions about Collaboration of the Week
Hi Another Believer, I am a PhD student from the Carnegie Mellon University. I am interested in the Wikipedia community, especially the mechanism of Collaboration of the Week. I noticed that you have participated in WikiProject Oregon’s collaborations before. Could you please take several minutes to answer five questions if possible? Thanks for your help!
1. How many times (approximately) have you participated in Wikiproject Oregon's Collaboration of the Week?
2. Why did you participate in the Collaboration of the Week?
3. Do you feel you become a better editor through participating in the collaborations? If so, could you provide some examples?
4. How did Collaboration of the Week change your behaviors (if any)? What caused the changes?
5. Are you still participating Wikiproject Oregon's collaboration of the week recently? Why?
You could leave your answers either in your or my talk page if possible. Thanks for your time! We have the same goal to make Wikipedia a better place.

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to The Bushranger (submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by
Hurricanehink (submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to
Yellow Evan (submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for Talk:Hurricane King/GA1,
Miyagawa (submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for Dognapping, and
Jarry1250 (submissions) who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic (explanation), claiming for Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

I also left a follow up on our looooong discussion on my talk page. I put the Indiana symbols article into one table, but I have a question. The beverage (water) and pie (hoosier pie) were not passed into law as a state symbol. I can't find them listed on any Indiana state web site that includes them as a state symbol along with the official symbols. Both symbols were only Senate resolutions. Text of the resolutions are given as the reference in the article. Utah did the same thing with a senate resolution for Jell-o as the state snack. The Utah state legislative *$&#? idiots have passed a bill in the house that would make a law for the state gun to be an official symbol in Utah State Code. It hasn't passed the moronic Senate just yet. Does just a resolution make it an official or unofficial symbol? Bgwhite (talk) 00:51, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Help! Re: Latin Grammy Award for Producer of the Year
Hi AB. Do yo have any sugestion about the list for the Latin Grammy Award for Producer of the Year? I think I need some help with the table. Jaespinoza (talk) 19:07, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
- Responded on talk page. --Another Believer (Talk) 19:16, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
- Let's do it. Just show me how to do so. Jaespinoza (talk) 21:55, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Latin Grammy for Male Pop Vocal Album
By the way, I wanted to show you my latest effort, would you take a look? Latin Grammy for Male Pop Vocal Album. Jaespinoza (talk) 20:22, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- Looks pretty good! Not sure AllBusiness is a reliable source, but I will let FLC reviewers (I assume you will take the list to FLC eventually) dissect the list further. Keep up the great work! --Another Believer (Talk) 20:25, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks. I will wait for the Producer of the Year list to finish, then I will nominate Female Pop Album. Jaespinoza (talk) 00:29, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
Hey =) Re: Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals
Hey you inspired me to work on a Grammy Article! I'm working on Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals. I haven't gotten too far but if you look here, I've started on the charts and references. Before I go any further does it look okay? This is my first main contribution to Wikipedia...sooo it may suck lol. Thanks! --Blackjacks101 (talk) 21:12, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
- (Responded on talk page.) I am so glad other contributors are working on Grammy lists! The project is picking up momentum. --Another Believer (Talk) 21:26, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
- Hey, soo I basically finished it. Do you mind looking at it? It's my first project and I'm not too good at writing or referencing, so do you mind? If your too busy I completely understand. =D --Blackjacks101 (talk) 00:58, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- Oh and also, I was slightly confused with whether or not to put "featuring" or "and"... I decided with "and" but I realistically don't know since there are some cases where it's like When You Believe where "and" is appropriate while Telephone (song) where "featuring" is appropriate.--Blackjacks101 (talk) 00:58, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks sooo much!! My writing isn't that good >.<. Now tell me honestly, could I nominate it to FL?--Blackjacks101 (talk) 01:49, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album
Hey! Sorry again for asking so many questions but I've started on another one, Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album, and I'm having trouble finding one piece of information. It was first awarded in 1968 as Best Contemporary Album, but then was discontinued until 1995 where it became Best Pop Album. But I can only find this article to show that the Beatles won it. And then this to show one of the other nominees was Bobee Gentry. Soo if you ever come across an article that lists more nominees, it be very helpful if you directed me to it =D--Blackjacks101 (talk) 19:41, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- Will do! Finding sources to verify nominees can be a bit of a challenge sometimes... --Another Believer (Talk) 19:43, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- I know =( especially with an award that was discontinued at such an early show =(...and thanks so much!--Blackjacks101 (talk) 21:11, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- Hey! I found one source here..is it reliable?--Blackjacks101 (talk) 00:16, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
- Also, since in general there is much to say about "Best Pop Vocal Album" where do you usually find or how do you usually find things such as controversies? --Blackjacks101 (talk) 01:45, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
- KK I'm done sorting but one question....You said add one more picture but on my screen the pictures already reach the end of the table and I think if i added another one it look messy since it would go into some writing. And I will start looking for more info, it's soo hard lol!--Blackjacks101 (talk) 17:25, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Spanish-language albums and songs
Hello Another Believer! I see you and Jaespinoza have been doing some great collaborations for the Grammies and Latin Grammies. I just thought you should know that in Spanish, the capitalization of albums and songs are different. Only the first letter of the first word should be capitalized unless it's a pronoun. Wikipedia:ALBUMCAPS states that the rules of capitalization from another language need to applied for albums and songs articles. BTW, I would also like to collaborate with you someday. I'm sure you've got enough work to do now. Keep up the great work! Magiciandude (talk) 04:21, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
- Well since Javier has the Mexican albums in the bag, I suppose we could Tropical albums sometime soon. Whenever you're up for it, let me know. I look forward to our group efforts! :) Magiciandude (talk) 04:51, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
- Well I just glancing by, just to tag the portal for Latin American music. I've never made a FL before, but hey, there's a first time right? Magiciandude (talk) 04:54, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
- Alrighty then, whenever I'm ready I'll let you know asap. BTW, I left a note for your FLC candidate. It contains a link for non-English capital letters standards. Magiciandude (talk) 05:58, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Maybe our future collab would make things better once you've got your work unloaded! =) EDIT: I just read this, and saw your point not being so guilty. :) Magiciandude (talk) 23:28, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Romances
Hey Another Believer, before working on the list, I'd like you to know that I'm trying to make the first Spanish-language album to be featured article. I've put a lot of work on Romances since I feel it has a shot. Seeing as how you made a FA yourself, I like to see your input. Thanks! Magiciandude (talk) 05:28, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
- I have no doubt it will be quite a task for an album to be FA (there's not even a 100 of them). One of my goals for Latin American music task is to have at least one Spanish-language album that is FA. And thanks for those edits as well! :) . Magiciandude (talk) 06:03, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

The Featured Sound Main Page Proposal Voter Barnstar | |
I was truly humbled by the overwhelming community support for the recent proposal to place featured sounds on the main page. The proposal closed on Tuesday with 57 people in support and only 2 in opposition. It should take a few weeks for everything to get coded and tested, and once that is done the community will be presented with a mock up to assess on aesthetic appeal. Finally, I invite all of you to participate in the featured sounds process itself. Whether you're a performer, an uploader, or just come across a sound file you find top quality, and that meets the featured sound criteria, you can nominate it at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates. Featured sounds is also looking for people to help assess candidates (also at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates.)
Thanks again for such a strong showing of support, and I hope to see you at featured sounds in the future. |

WikiCup 2011 February newsletter
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cd/Trophy.png)
So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to The Bushranger (submissions) (first, with 487 points) and
Hurricanehink (submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round.
Casliber (submissions) finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen here. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to
Jarry1250 (submissions) for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to
Stone (submissions) for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.
Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.
Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hey! I was just wondering....it's been over a month now since I nominated the FL and not many have reviewed it...since it's running out of time do you suggest that I start asking around? I also have basically finished Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album....but the lead is soo short becuase of the lack of multiple wins and controversy surrounding the category. Do you think that it will survive FL with juch a short lead? Thanks as always!--Blackjacks101 (talk) 15:02, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello Another Believer. I have been looking at your work since weeks and i really admire what you do. You are an amazing editor. I wish we had more people like you here on Wikipedia.

- Thanks for your kind words! No worries if you do not have time to review the list. Just thought I would ask since I saw that you reviewed another Grammy list. Best wishes! --Another Believer (Talk) 16:35, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
FLC
Left a question for you at the FLC archive. The list looks amazing. Novice7 (talk) 16:15, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks! --Another Believer (Talk) 16:34, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
Sure ;)
Since you have done so much it would be the least I could do to review it =D--Blackjacks101 (talk) 17:07, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks so much! --Another Believer (Talk) 17:27, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
- Hey we have a problem now, all of the old references from grammys.com are not working so we need to replace them with the updated ones. I have all the updated links on my lists right now, most of the time I had to replace with a newspaper since they only have the list of the winners of the past 2 ceremonies. =(--Blackjacks101 (talk) 14:01, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, I noticed the links were outdated as well. I went ahead and updated the General source link for all of the current lists with GA/FL status, but I am sure there are additional links that need to be correct. Thanks for the heads up! --Another Believer (Talk) 16:13, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks so much! You help was soo appreciated. I'm just happy that I was able to contribute to the grammy project. Speaking of which do you think this could be nominated for FL?--Blackjacks101 (talk) 14:26, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
- Looks pretty good to me. I would remove one image, perhaps of someone that has received nominations but did not win. I usually only include pictures of winners unless there are not enough--then I picture nominees. I'd be happy to review the list in more detail if you take it to FLC. --Another Believer (Talk) 14:34, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

- Kk ya I'll remove Britney since an IP added it. And I have a new target Grammy Award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance, I'm kind of busy nowadays so this one doesn't seem too bad.--Blackjacks101 (talk) 14:38, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

DYK for Born This Way (Glee)
![]() | On 24 March 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Born This Way (Glee), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Lady Gaga approved the use of her song "Born This Way" for the Glee episode of the same name before the single premiered? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hey!
So a person pointed out that my new nominee for FL has 4 re-direct links. Since I am kind of new with these terms, does this mean I need to change something?--Blackjacks101 (talk) 23:43, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- I only see one re-direct. It appears "Seal (album)" is re-directed because there are three different albums named "Seal". You need to specify which one. I hope this answers your question. --Another Believer (Talk) 23:58, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Imperial Napoleonic triple crown jewels

Thank you for contributions to the project, Great work and fantastic effort. Congratulations, and may you wear the Imperial Napoleonic crowns well. – SMasters (talk) 07:34, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi, you have put references to that biographical book into this article, which is fine. But please note that the author's name is Lake, not Lane. I have corrected it in this article, but don't know if the same mistake already occurred in other articles.
Also, there are sentences there about "The McGarrigle Hour" and the Gap commercial and such things. I don't think that they actually belong into this album article. Maybe you would like to transfer them to his main article.--Sylvia Anna (talk) 15:46, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up. I just wrote on your talk page about the Lake vs. Lane error, which has been corrected. I have not used the source for other articles. I have to disagree about the inclusion of The McGarrigle Hour and the Gap ad--while these project should definitely be included in the main Rufus Wainwright article, I think they also belong here to provide background information. The Gap ad is especially relevant to the album, as several of the sources used to write the article mention the ad and how is boosted his popularity (even if slightly). Thanks again for your help with correcting/improving the article! --Another Believer (Talk) 15:56, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- I think the Gap commercial is worth mentioning the second time where you note that it boosted record sales. But the first time you mention it as a stand alone fact it doesn't contribute to understanding the album. Also I think that as background information there is too much about his upbringing and such. That's all in his main article where it belongs. Here it makes the article become overbloated.--Sylvia Anna (talk) 16:04, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- I sincerely appreciate your feedback, especially since I see that you edit other Rufus-related articles. Why don't we wait and see what the GA reviewer thinks. Of course, you are more than welcome to contribute to the GA review (once it starts). Personally, I like a good amount of background information in articles. The main Rufus Wainwright article should summarize details that appear in album articles along with information about him that does not relate to his projects. If the GA reviewer also feels that there is excessive background information, I would be happy to strip down the details. --Another Believer (Talk) 16:11, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, we can wait and see what other reviewers think. I do appreciate background information, but it should be directly related to the subject of the article, which is the album in this case and not Wainwright himself. I also don't see any need to repeat so much information about him here that is already in his personal article.--Sylvia Anna (talk) 16:31, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
