Hey Legolas, How are you? Since you are an admin and your contribution would be from a neutral POV, your assistance is requested from here to here. The discussion has been ongoing for weeks and now its between myself and two editors and its just leading to back in forth. In my opinion the issue i have with it being added has not been addressed, its simply been deflected and made into argumentative discussions and personal attacks and its getting extremely redundant to keep explaining why it shouldnt be added. Now i could be wrong and you could easily state it should be added, that would be your opinion which i respect. If you feel it should be added i would propose a simple "see also" section which was proposed in earlier discussion. Truthfully i dont think it even deserves that as it does not affect or relate to the song or kesha so its somewhat trivial. (CK)Lakeshade✽ talk2me 04:08, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
The nomination was a bit premature as there are such existing faults in teh article in respect to content and MOS which can lead to its quick fail. I was going to quick fail it myself, but then I thought of better asking you. Reply on my talk page. --Legolas (talk2me) 04:54, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Hey! I noticed the information you added to those articles (very good job!), but l also noticed that the articles lack images, and look a little bit empty. So i started surfing through other articles of concert tours and noticed that some of them have non-free images on them, and since these are articles of old tours, I was wondering if it could be okay to use non-free images to illustrate those tours??

Hey Legolas! I've found a new source from UK's Music Week that stated The Immaculate Collection sold 30 million and GHV2 sold 7 million, the article is titled "Warner finds solace in farewell CD" (27 October 2007). However, we can't read its full article and I don't know its ISSN, therefore I'm doubt to use it as reference in Wikipedia. Do you have any idea so we can use this magazine as reference??? We should replace the sales source for GHV2 in Madonna albums discography because it doesn't mention anything about sales. Bluesatellite ( talk) 04:32, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello, I would like to keep things peaceful and amicable this time, so please assist me. BlueSatellite needs to understand that he needs to provide the consensus before making that change. I don't have to get a consensus to remove it, he needs one to place it. Please understand, I don't want us all to get blocked again.-- PeterGriffin • Talk 04:57, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello Legolas. In this page a template was placed and I would like to correct whatever problem it is, but I don't understand what it implys is wrong with the sources, something about bare urls.

I have been told that the only thing the album lacks is a proper formatting of references. I have already started the work and i have fixed all dead links today itself. The copy edit has already been done. Can you help me to format the references? Please help me to make it pass GA. Jivesh boodhun ( talk) 09:07, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
Ahaha! I have just been a little slack with Wikipedia. Came back on here to check things out today finding that two of the Ke$ha articles I worked on are now GA class! Amazing how much things can happen, whilst I haven't been around for a while. Anyway, I hope I can get back into it again. Editing actually really helped improve my writing skills.

Alright, ive noticed you've put in a review for Bad Romance because you want to nomination it as a future FL. Truthfully its good but needs a fair amount of work. I will put the errors in a drop box below. (CK)Lakeshade✽ talk2me 23:52, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

The only other issue i see is the use of acharts. You must remove and replace all acharts in chart and chart performance. WP:CHARTSCHART states "Good and Featured class articles should not rely on unlicensed archives as convenience links, and should use official sites and licensed archives where possible.". Its clearly possible to replace these as its Lady Gaga, they are available and should be used. (CK)Lakeshade✽ talk2me 23:52, 29 July 2010 (UTC) |
Hi there, If you have the time, Taare Zameen Par is being developed for a future FAC. Take a look if you can. - Classicfilms ( talk) 18:05, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
Thanks Legolas. I think I've transformed the article into what I feel should be the new standard for FL-class discographies, and I do hope to nominate it in a week or so if the edit warring calms down (as the edit history is showing, some people don't react too calmly to major change). I actually modeled a lot of parts off of your fantastic work on the Madonna discographies, which in my opinion represent some of the best discography articles on wiki. – Chase ( talk) 03:51, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
I'm not quite sure what you mean by the dash issue. Isn't the longer one (—) generally used in discography articles? Also, I'm not sure which statements need more refs, since most of the content is sourced from the article and doesn't need citing per WP:LEAD. I could try to find some references to back the hefty claim that the "Telephone" and "Alejandro" videos were controversial but I'm not sure what else would need extra sourcing. I would remove all of the extra certs, but User:Harout72 got really angry and defensive about the Japan certs being removed, went in a long rant about how Japan and Germany are two of the biggest markets in the world, accused me of bias towards English-speaking countries, etc. To reduce the edit warring, I think I'll leave the Germany and Japan certs in for now and remove them if they're mentioned at FLC.
I plan to nominate it for FL in a week or two, provided that the edit warring over the old version vs. the new version comes to a halt. I will look into your suggestions and thanks for all your comments about the article. – Chase ( talk) 05:00, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
I see you have been changing the sales for that album numerous times. I have a credible source ( a press release from her own label and Live Nation), while you have an article that says it sold "12 million". Please stop changing it, or I'll report you.-- LAUGH90 ( talk) 01:45, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
I've been hella good, and I know you're good cause you told me. :) These days? I'm working on episode articles that's all I do now. For the moment I'm retired from working on music related stuff. I'll un-retire when Justin Timberlake comes out with another album or when Coldplay release their next album; depends who has their stuff released first. "Bad Romance", really? I thought it'd be more like "Hung Up" or "Poker Face" for your FA ambitions. I'm surprised that my "favorite" song from Lady Gaga isn't a GA, oh well I guess. July 16 was your birthday? OMG, Happy late Birthday; Don't worry, next year I'll wish you a Happy Birthday on your birthday, I won't forget. Don't worry you'll get an "Awesome Wikipedia Day" soon, I guarantee it. ;) BTW, good work with the Madonna tours cause they passed GA. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:36, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
Oh, yes, sorry for not replying. I saw your message right as I was about to go to sleep but I was too tired to reply. I tried to make a mental note to reply back today but I guess I forgot. My apologies, and that's fine about the Cleveland Leader source (though there's already a new CBS source to back 12 million sales so that's kind of irrelevant at this point).

I'm just a bit curious about your rationale for this reversion. I didn't re-revert, because the link's eligibility under WP:EL seems a bit iffy, but I'm trying to understand the copyvio assertion for a link to Life's own web site. They seem to be an unlikely group to violate copyrights. Fat&Happy ( talk) 05:51, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
Hey Legolas. I finally found time to put this together, as you may have noticed by the time I have got this posted.

And I will get to corrections on the Ciara discography as soon as I can, but I'm kind of hesitant to starting yet since it seems as users are working to change the style of discogs soon.

Hello. Classicfilms and I recently overhauled the article for Taare Zameen Par. He mentioned that you were a friend and were in the Indian Cinema wikiproject, so I was wondering if you wouldn't mind taking a look at the article for any concerns or possibilities of improvement? Thanks. Ω pho is 04:12, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Hmm, I will keep an eye out but I will also try to look for some more references to see if it can be expanded further than it was before the redirect. It might chart on the Billboard 200 this week due to being reissued but of course, general notability should first be established. – Chase ( talk) 05:00, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Legolas, I really need a bit of help in this department. I would like to include those "Sound or audio file snippets" that are around 20-30 seconds that you could listen to on the albums page. I don't know how to find them, place them or use them for the matter. Ive noticed that you have placed them in many Madonna articles so you probably know how to do it. Thanks!.-- PeterGriffin • Talk 19:39, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
Your removal of my content in this article regarding high profile parodies of the song was unacceptable. You stated it was because "Unofficial YouTube Links are blatant copyright violations." This is patent nonsense. It literally has no discernible meaning. A YouTube link is in no way shape or form a "copyright violation"; there's no way a web link could violate a copyright because you can't copyright a URL. Please open up a discussion on the topic in the talk section if you choose, and explain with actual reasons pertaining to Wikipedia's rules why you feel this section should be eliminated.

Thank you for second my user page protection, but I like it free since I have no problem with that, excepting if there are comments like these or the recent /b/ comments, that, fortunately, I don't know what they said.

Hey again Legolas. Now I for sure have noticed that you've promoted many pages to these statuses..lol. So Im kind of starting to drastically fix up allot of pages and promote them to GA and featured list status. So I know the criteria, and I kind of use your past work as references so I know what direction to take, but I have a few more questions. #1. How long does the process (of getting it promoted) usually take, if the article is good enough of course? #2. Can you can give me instructions for the quickest and easiest way to promote an album to GA status, and the same for a Featured List? Thanks!-- PeterGriffin • Talk 17:33, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Legolas, I just looked and I only see one issue of Billboard in December 1987, apparently the album peaked in September, the album only appear on the Italian chart going from ten to sixteen. I have never found another archive of the chart, only one for singles between 1995 to 2000. I think that unfortunately you will have to wait for Billboard to update the archives, altough you can put the succession box if it peaked at number one, since you don't have to source the boxes.

Hi, Legolas. Since you have so much experience with GA and FA articles, I'd like to invite your participation. It is typical that reviewers of GAC, FLC, etc. pages look at MOS:DISCOG for guidance about what should be included and how it should look. To change any discog article, it's generally useful to make sure it matches exactly with the guidelines in the MOS:DISCOG, lest it be reverted. So I've opened a discussion (which I had hoped would be livelier) at Certifications column heading links about making a couple of small changes to MOS:DISCOG. It's a tiny matter, I think, but I'd be grateful if you could take the time to look over the issues and weigh in. Thanks, — JohnFromPinckney ( talk) 14:09, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi Legolas, apologies I'f my new signature put you off or made it same as if i was trolling. Tbh it had never crossed my mind but its very much a possibility and i'm erring towards agreeing with the conclusion you've come too. I dont knwo if there is enough evidence for a sock puppet investigation. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 (talk2me) 21:55, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Hey, I saw your reply on the page of Music, and I couldn't help but feeling that you seemed a petit agitated. I certainly hope not, because even though I don't per sé agree with you, the last that I would want is to see you upset. I can understand your point of view, therefore I changed the page. I've left "American Pie" in the singles-list, though I haven't given it a number, replacing that with a "-", and below that explaining that it was, in retrospect, the first single of this album for areas outside North-America. But since there is no number in the list, it is not counted as one. I hope that you can agree with this solution? Anyhow, I still don't really agree with you, and in terms of the Britney Spears single I absolutely don't agree with you (well, your example of Lady GaGa, to be precise), but going further on that won't do any good, so as far as I'm concerned I'm with you on that topic being closed (in the Netherlands there's a saying that says "oude koeien uit de sloot halen" (translated something as "digging old cows from the ditch" (which sounds, as I'm typing it, utterly srange in English, I know ;)), which means that some things are better left the way they are).
I also saw your remarks on the "Hard Candy" page, and I must admit, to me it did felt a bit like a personal attack, because of the 'did you' remark. That being said, you áre right. Especially on the WP:OR part, I knew exactly what you meant (welcome back to earth, Rob ;)). So eventhough it did felt a bit too attack-like, I must thank you for that (although I might be known for my sarcasm; this remark is without any form of it!). I have even looked on the internet, but "American Life" still stands as Madonna's least selling album. Time (and internet?) will tell if that changes. But since there is no source that can provide this, it shouldn't be in the article.
Anyhow, I hope that there are no hard feelings, and if there were any, that this post has dissolved them. :) Best regards, Robster1983 ( talk) 15:28, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

I don't believe I was deviating from the topic. It's just Max24's only motivation for the post was his personal vendetta and the post wouldn't have existed if another user had made the edits. I like to be impartial and if you see the post above, the one that wasn't made by Max24 I commented on and spoke my views on the issue. Max24 makes a post then requests all users that dislike Mariah Carey or dislike PeterGriffin to get involved, I noticed it as I've watchlisted her discography. Don't you think that's unfair?

We should replace the sales source for GHV2 in Madonna albums discography because it doesn't mention anything about sales. Bluesatellite ( talk) 04:32, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello, I would like to keep things peaceful and amicable this time, so please assist me. BlueSatellite needs to understand that he needs to provide the consensus before making that change. I don't have to get a consensus to remove it, he needs one to place it. Please understand, I don't want us all to get blocked again.-- PeterGriffin • Talk 04:57, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello Legolas. In this page a template was placed and I would like to correct whatever problem it is, but I don't understand what it implys is wrong with the sources, something about bare urls. Usually when I source something, I put [1]. Is that the best way to do it? Thanks-- PeterGriffin • Talk 12:47, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
For the cookies. It was kind of you. Also I hope you don't think I've hijacked your GA review of Sweet Dreams. There were some pretty significant issues that needed resolving regarding some of the statements. -- Lil-unique1 ( talk) 05:39, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
I have been told that the only thing the album lacks is a proper formatting of references. I have already started the work and i have fixed all dead links today itself. The copy edit has already been done. Can you help me to format the references? Please help me to make it pass GA. Jivesh boodhun ( talk) 09:07, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
Ahaha! I have just been a little slack with Wikipedia. Came back on here to check things out today finding that two of the Ke$ha articles I worked on are now GA class! Amazing how much things can happen, whilst I haven't been around for a while. Anyway, I hope I can get back into it again. Editing actually really helped improve my writing skills.

The only other issue i see is the use of acharts. You must remove and replace all acharts in chart and chart performance. WP:CHARTSCHART states "Good and Featured class articles should not rely on unlicensed archives as convenience links, and should use official sites and licensed archives where possible.". Its clearly possible to replace these as its Lady Gaga, they are available and should be used. (CK)Lakeshade✽ talk2me 23:52, 29 July 2010 (UTC) |
Hi there, If you have the time, Taare Zameen Par is being developed for a future FAC. Take a look if you can. - Classicfilms ( talk) 18:05, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
Thanks Legolas. I think I've transformed the article into what I feel should be the new standard for FL-class discographies, and I do hope to nominate it in a week or so if the edit warring calms down (as the edit history is showing, some people don't react too calmly to major change). I actually modeled a lot of parts off of your fantastic work on the Madonna discographies, which in my opinion represent some of the best discography articles on wiki. – Chase ( talk) 03:51, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
I'm not quite sure what you mean by the dash issue. Isn't the longer one (—) generally used in discography articles? Also, I'm not sure which statements need more refs, since most of the content is sourced from the article and doesn't need citing per WP:LEAD. I could try to find some references to back the hefty claim that the "Telephone" and "Alejandro" videos were controversial but I'm not sure what else would need extra sourcing. I would remove all of the extra certs, but User:Harout72 got really angry and defensive about the Japan certs being removed, went in a long rant about how Japan and Germany are two of the biggest markets in the world, accused me of bias towards English-speaking countries, etc. To reduce the edit warring, I think I'll leave the Germany and Japan certs in for now and remove them if they're mentioned at FLC.
I plan to nominate it for FL in a week or two, provided that the edit warring over the old version vs. the new version comes to a halt. I will look into your suggestions and thanks for all your comments about the article. – Chase ( talk) 05:00, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
I see you have been changing the sales for that album numerous times. I have a credible source ( a press release from her own label and Live Nation), while you have an article that says it sold "12 million". Please stop changing it, or I'll report you.-- LAUGH90 ( talk) 01:45, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
I've been hella good, and I know you're good cause you told me. :) These days? I'm working on episode articles that's all I do now. For the moment I'm retired from working on music related stuff. I'll un-retire when Justin Timberlake comes out with another album or when Coldplay release their next album; depends who has their stuff released first. "Bad Romance", really? I thought it'd be more like "Hung Up" or "Poker Face" for your FA ambitions. I'm surprised that my "favorite" song from Lady Gaga isn't a GA, oh well I guess. July 16 was your birthday? OMG, Happy late Birthday; Don't worry, next year I'll wish you a Happy Birthday on your birthday, I won't forget. Don't worry you'll get an "Awesome Wikipedia Day" soon, I guarantee it. ;) BTW, good work with the Madonna tours cause they passed GA. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:36, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm just a bit curious about your rationale for this reversion.

Hello. Classicfilms and I recently overhauled the article for Taare Zameen Par.

Thanks. Ω pho is 04:12, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Hmm, I will keep an eye out but I will also try to look for some more references to see if it can be expanded further than it was before the redirect. It might chart on the Billboard 200 this week due to being reissued but of course, general notability should first be established. – Chase ( talk) 05:00, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Legolas, I really need a bit of help in this department. I would like to include those "Sound or audio file snippets" that are around 20-30 seconds that you could listen to on the albums page. I don't know how to find them, place them or use them for the matter. Ive noticed that you have placed them in many Madonna articles so you probably know how to do it. Thanks!.-- PeterGriffin • Talk 19:39, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
Your removal of my content in this article regarding high profile parodies of the song was unacceptable. You stated it was because "Unofficial YouTube Links are blatant copyright violations." This is patent nonsense. It literally has no discernible meaning. A YouTube link is in no way shape or form a "copyright violation"; there's no way a web link could violate a copyright because you can't copyright a URL. Please open up a discussion on the topic in the talk section if you choose, and explain with actual reasons pertaining to Wikipedia's rules why you feel this section should be eliminated.

Hey again Legolas. Now I for sure have noticed that you've promoted many pages to these statuses..lol. So Im kind of starting to drastically fix up allot of pages and promote them to GA and featured list status. So I know the criteria, and I kind of use your past work as references so I know what direction to take, but I have a few more questions. #1. How long does the process (of getting it promoted) usually take, if the article is good enough of course? #2. Can you can give me instructions for the quickest and easiest way to promote an album to GA status, and the same for a Featured List? Thanks!-- PeterGriffin • Talk 17:33, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Legolas, I just looked and I only see one issue of Billboard in December 1987, apparently the album peaked in September, the album only appear on the Italian chart going from ten to sixteen. I have never found another archive of the chart, only one for singles between 1995 to 2000. I think that unfortunately you will have to wait for Billboard to update the archives, altough you can put the succession box if it peaked at number one, since you don't have to source the boxes.

Hi, Legolas. Since you have so much experience with GA and FA articles, I'd like to invite your participation. It is typical that reviewers of GAC, FLC, etc. pages look at MOS:DISCOG for guidance about what should be included and how it should look. To change any discog article, it's generally useful to make sure it matches exactly with the guidelines in the MOS:DISCOG, lest it be reverted. So I've opened a discussion (which I had hoped would be livelier) at Certifications column heading links about making a couple of small changes to MOS:DISCOG. It's a tiny matter, I think, but I'd be grateful if you could take the time to look over the issues and weigh in. Thanks, — JohnFromPinckney ( talk) 14:09, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi Legolas, apologies I'f my new signature put you off or made it same as if i was trolling. Tbh it had never crossed my mind but its very much a possibility and i'm erring towards agreeing with the conclusion you've come too. I dont knwo if there is enough evidence for a sock puppet investigation. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 (talk2me) 21:55, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Hey, I saw your reply on the page of Music, and I couldn't help but feeling that you seemed a petit agitated. I certainly hope not, because even though I don't per sé agree with you, the last that I would want is to see you upset. I can understand your point of view, therefore I changed the page. I've left "American Pie" in the singles-list, though I haven't given it a number, replacing that with a "-", and below that explaining that it was, in retrospect, the first single of this album for areas outside North-America. But since there is no number in the list, it is not counted as one. I hope that you can agree with this solution? Anyhow, I still don't really agree with you, and in terms of the Britney Spears single I absolutely don't agree with you (well, your example of Lady GaGa, to be precise), but going further on that won't do any good, so as far as I'm concerned I'm with you on that topic being closed (in the Netherlands there's a saying that says "oude koeien uit de sloot halen" (translated something as "digging old cows from the ditch" (which sounds, as I'm typing it, utterly srange in English, I know ;)), which means that some things are better left the way they are).
I also saw your remarks on the "Hard Candy" page, and I must admit, to me it did felt a bit like a personal attack, because of the 'did you' remark. That being said, you áre right. Especially on the WP:OR part, I knew exactly what you meant (welcome back to earth, Rob ;)). So eventhough it did felt a bit too attack-like, I must thank you for that (although I might be known for my sarcasm; this remark is without any form of it!). I have even looked on the internet, but "American Life" still stands as Madonna's least selling album. Time (and internet?) will tell if that changes. But since there is no source that can provide this, it shouldn't be in the article.
Anyhow, I hope that there are no hard feelings, and if there were any, that this post has dissolved them. :) Best regards, Robster1983 ( talk) 15:28, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

I don't believe I was deviating from the topic. It's just Max24's only motivation for the post was his personal vendetta and the post wouldn't have existed if another user had made the edits. I like to be impartial and if you see the post above, the one that wasn't made by Max24 I commented on and spoke my views on the issue. Max24 makes a post then requests all users that dislike Mariah Carey or dislike PeterGriffin to get involved, I noticed it as I've watchlisted her discography. Don't you think that's unfair?
