Please source singles
Per this edit, please source every single added to Wikipedia, even if it's just to the iTunes page. Thank you. Ss112 03:44, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
- Please do not create redirects unless the material is sourced at the article you're pointing said redirect to. At the time you created My Dear Melancholy, the material was not sourced at The Weeknd; regardless of whether it had been announced by him on his Twitter at that point or by a news source, it was not present at the article. If you do this in future, your redirects can and will be nominated for speedy deletion for being WP:OR. Thanks. Ss112 19:35, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:14, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
Creating redirects
Since you seem very intent on creating as many redirects as you possibly can (and it doesn't take much to realise why you started), you need to learn to start researching a bit more before redirecting really basic song titles like Chlorine (song) to the newest album to have its track list announced. This is naive behaviour, because you seem to think there's been no other song ever to have the title "Chlorine" or that there's no other valid place the redirect could point to. Well, that presumption is incorrect, so that redirect of yours has now been repointed to Chlorine (disambiguation), where it should stay unless the redirect ever becomes notable enough to be made into an article. Also, just in case you were unaware, don't think creating all the redirects in the world will stop any editor from having their name or "credit" first if they want to make the article themselves. They can create it in their user space or as a draft, and plenty do, and it's actually encouraged by plenty here. If users really want to, they'll create something at "Levitate (Twenty One Pilots Song)" or some other misspelt or incorrectly disambiguated space. It happens all the time and as you seem to visit my contributions page quite often (and there's plenty of evidence for that), you'd know that already since I've tried to "educate" my fair share of users on the topic. Users are not reprimanded for creating articles in the wrong place, because page movers and admins give them the benefit of the doubt for actually creating content and/or making a "mistake", even if they do it repeatedly. I suppose you think the chances of somebody creating an article over the top of your redirect is higher than if you don't make one, so I'm sure me telling you that won't stop you when the track list for the next big event album is released. I'm just saying for future reference, take a bit more time to scope disambiguation pages or other valid targets for the basic redirects you make if you intend to keep on doing so.

- Thank you for the advice, I tried to apply this to the creation of the Queen redirects. I'm aware that editors that actually create the article (under a different name) are more likely to get the article, I witnessed it when some of the Scorpion redirects I created suddenly were handed to other editors. -- Lk95 8:48, 10 August 2018 (CEST)
- Well, it wasn't so much advice as me trying to tell you that an editor can create as many redirects as they like—the editors who want to create the article can basically create it wherever they like and are not obligated to create it under someone else's redirect, and nor are they blamed for not doing so (just a fact, that's not a judgement call on my part—I've stopped caring as much).

Please find better things to do
For the good of everybody on Wikipedia, especially yourself, find better things to do than hang around on articles where you've been reverted looking for further attempts at condescension like this. Nobody wins in Internet arguments; the person who appears to get the "last word" ultimately looks worse because it shows how bothered they are and how much time they have on their hands. I thought you would have known that by this point. Ss112 14:22, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
- Reverted even though my edit was in alphabetical order while yours wasn't? If anything, I should've reverted you. You only wanted to be the first one to add the German peak for some reason, probably because I decided to create redirects now. I defend myself whenever I feel something unfair is going on. If it comes down to me having the last word then so be it. -- Lk95 16:36, 24 August 2018 (CEST)
- Is that your theory? Oh Good Lord. That kind of paranoia is not going to lead to anything good. Ss112 14:51, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
- Not a theory, just a hunch, because you did these things multiple times in the past. But go ahead, make others look like fools as usual. -- Lk95 17:05, 24 August 2018 (CEST)

Speedy deletion nomination of Flip the Switch
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Flip the Switch requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
- disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Disambiguation link notification for October 23
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Calvin Harris discography, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wizkid (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:41, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

Please update the German references on discographies when adding peaks
Every week I update the UK and US column references when I add peaks here or make sure they're active, but it appears you still add German peaks to discographies when the header source is musicline.de or some other old German charts site that is either dead or redirects to the current one. I just noticed this at Robyn discography—Musicline is shoddy and outdated, and probably doesn't even update with the data anymore. Also, I don't know if it's something you do intentionally based on some past action(s) of mine where I added a few German album peaks that hadn't been added yet, but there's no need to race to every album article and do those first. I'm just suggesting reasons here, but I don't know if maybe it's a way of getting it out of the way first for you because it's quicker for some reason(?) but honestly, in my experience, users care more about updating song peaks on the English Wikipedia than album peaks—in recent weeks I've seen a few other users get to the new German peaks of songs before you so maybe that should be what you focus on first..? Just a suggestion, anyway. Ss112 13:29, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- Also, you know around about when the German charts update: Did they update earlier this week than usual? I'm asking because normally I see you start to add a bit after I add the Belgian data. It's almost as if the charts updated an hour earlier, as if y'all hadn't just gone through daylight savings along with the rest of Europe. If you can shed some light, that'd be great because I'm confused lol. Ss112 14:04, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- Indeed, I didn't update the refs on some of the discographies properly, thanks for telling me. I went back to a few others that had outdated links in their header and corrected them as well. I never pay attention to that for some reason. As for me doing the album charts first, that has nothing to say at all but contrary to your observation I've seen that editors (IP or not) tend to add album peaks quicker than me instead of single charts (I know what you're referring to though from last week). Plus there are not that many international single chart entries (with articles on wiki.en) nowadays anyway as the German chart is mostly flooded with German rap songs these days. Also yeah, I was surprised too. I randomly checked half an hour earlier than usual to see that they had already updated all the peaks despite there being tons of entries this week. We did in fact change time in Germany last week but as far as I know, this never happened before after previous time changes. But knowing offiziellecharts and their fairly inconsistent updating habits I don't think this will become a weekly thing. -- Lk95 15:13, 2 November 2018 (CET)
