Well, I am glad to see you love Christian music, which you have come here in order to do some editing to make this encyclopedia a better place, and I have a vast repertoire of information in that subject area. This in no way implies that I am correct or OWN this branch or host of articles in this encyclopedia. So, I welcome you to the community that I love, and I like all music but Christian music is my love. Lastly, you can get help from Walter Görlitz, 3family6 and Toa Nidhiki05. HotHat ( talk) 04:43, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

I am sorry that I took away your joy of being able to add the composers to the article. I got it done with the help of Jesus Freak Hideout lyrics for the album. They can be found by going here, and clicking on lyrics. HotHat ( talk) 07:47, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

You can take a listen to it on iTunes Radio. HotHat ( talk) 04:26, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Didn't they stream that on K-LOVE also? And thanks! Ilovechristianmusic ( talk) 21:39, 8 May 2014 (UTC)ilovechristianmusic

You made some sweet edits on Zion. I wanted to make them but since I was in on the article early on I didn't want it to appear as though I was showing page ownership. Terrific job. I'm glad you've stuck around and that you're getting the hang of editing! Walter Görlitz ( talk) 21:41, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

I made the article into a better specimen. HotHat ( talk) 03:43, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I was somewhat lost on how to clean it up. Ilovechristianmusic ( talk) 13:30, 17 May 2014 (UTC)ilovechristianmusic

Have you read WP:NALBUMS?

"An album requires its own notability, and that notability is not inherited and requires independent evidence. That an album is an officially released recording by a notable musician or ensemble is not by itself reason for a standalone article. Conversely, an album does not need to be by a notable artist or ensemble to merit a standalone article if it meets the general notability guideline. Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article, space permitting."

I would appreciate you not creating articles for albums that are not notable. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 17:47, 9 June 2014 (UTC) WP:MOSCAPS is a longer read, but the correct title for that album is Just a Breath. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 17:48, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

I apologize for wasting your time. I was just trying to give a little more information on that album. Ilovechristianmusic ( talk) 19:22, 10 June 2014 (UTC)ilovechristianmusic

@ TheLongTone, Walter Görlitz, 3family6, and Royalbroil on How Can It Be (album), Don't apologize, it is now notable because it passes MUSICBIO by having been reviewed by three publications. Those publications are on Christian music sources, and they pass the reliable sources test. So, the album has received enough coverage to merit a standalone article per general notability guidelines. They have to nominate it for deletion, rather than imposing a redirect. The Cross Bearer ( talk) 23:02, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

I agree. Ilovechristianmusic ( talk) 00:30, 16 April 2015 (UTC)ilovechristianmusic

I agree. Please send me a message if anyone were to WP:SPEEDY / WP:PROD the article and I will object. Please watch the Billboard Christian Albums chart - I expect it to appear on the chart right away.

But Walter has a good point about making sure that the albums have notability. You can start an article with 3 reliable sources but be prepared to defend it for deletion. Commenters at a deletion discussion are hard to figure out and I often see them completely ignore the GNG by saying that even major national newspapers aren't reliable enough. I won't start an article until it greatly meets notability for more than one reason. For an album / song / artist, I want to see it on a national chart before I spend my time to start it. Royal broil 03:11, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

I definitely will. I usually check the Billboard charts 3 days a week. I'm expecting that as well. I do agree. I'm just at a loss on why an administrator hasn't seen what's going on yet. Ilovechristianmusic ( talk) 13:51, 17 April 2015 (UTC)ilovechristianmusic

You just need to check the Billboard magazine charts on Thursday nights by search on the com/biz or on Friday mornings after eight on the com. The Cross Bearer ( talk) 01:25, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for informing me on that. Ilovechristianmusic ( talk) 14:28, 18 April 2015 (UTC)ilovechristianmusic

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Title (Meghan Trainor album), even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Removing citation templates in favor of bare URL's is frowned upon on Wikipedia; bare URL's are unacceptable. Refrain from this editing behavior. livelikemusic ^{my talk page!} 22:17, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Experimenting? I updated the iTunes references? I'm getting the feeling you would like to edit "Pop music" articles on your own, so I'll leave you to edit them. Shall I ask for permission before I edit again? Ilovechristianmusic ( talk) 22:20, 17 April 2015 (UTC)ilovechristianmusic

What you did was remove citations from an article in favor of bare URL's, and you've been doing it quite often and that is not acceptable on Wikipedia. I'm simply suggesting you look at your sandbox to test editing before editing articles, and learn the guidelines of Wikipedia and its standards. You must fully cite your sources, bare URL citations are unacceptable and should not be done. And removal of them is disruptive to Wikipedia. livelikemusic ^{my talk page!} 22:25, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at The Fool (Ryn Weaver album). Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you. livelikemusic ^{my talk page!} 23:07, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

• On the Lips Are Movin page, your edit caused a broken reference name ( help). ( Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot ( talk) 00:20, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

You may love his music, and you can find his article, Brady Toops, by clicking on this link. The Cross Bearer ( talk) 06:51, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

@ The Cross Bearer: Thank you. I will definitely check out his music. Ilovechristianmusic ( talk) 17:29, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Where albums now have a worldwide release day on Friday's, this means Billboard magazine publishes its new charts on Tuesday's, just wanted to inform you of the change. The current scheme is opposite of the way it was previously configured, albums on Tuesday's and charts on Friday's. The Cross Bearer ( talk) 03:26, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for informing me. Do you know why was the release day changed? Ilovechristianmusic ( talk) 14:13, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Canadian bonus tracks are not false. See catalogue number B002338102. See also http://www.archambault.ca/ryn-weaver-the-fool-ACH003692611-fr-pr. Stop undoing this change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JetBlackIris ( talk • contribs) 14:41, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

@ JetBlackIris: Hello. I apologize for the inconvenience. If you would have added a reference to the tracklisting, that would have help immensely. The reasoning for myself (and assumably iPadPerson) finding this to be a false statement is that iTunes Canada did not show there to be any bonus tracks. Plus, it looks to be that Quebec is the political division the bonus tracks are supplied. Ilovechristianmusic ( talk) 16:07, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited WOW Hits 2016, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ready to Fly. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
