Hello. I appreciate your input in the AfD for List of number-one songs of 2018 (Singapore). I was curious about your comment that the chart is official and has allowed other charts to be accepted as "official" here on Wikipedia. I believe the Wikipedia acceptance is for adding these as a reliable source into articles for songs that have charted on such charts. It doesn't have to do with reaching number one on all these charts and creating a list of these number ones, which I believe requires a higher criteria for inclusion for such lists, because those same sources used in the song articles are now primary sources with no additional assertion of significance. If a list of number ones is going to exist for the Top 30 Digital Streaming chart in Singapore, just to use that one as an example, there should be 3rd party coverage in reliable sources of that chart. Thanks. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars Talk to me 19:44, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for adding templates for merging
Gender feminism and
Victim feminism into
Social construction of gender,
diff. During
the subsequent discussion an editor began a
new discussion (for which there is no consensus) proposing an alternative suggestion of dispersing the content of "gender feminism" and "victim feminism" into their relevant authors. Another editor has now removed the original merger templates,
diff.
Based on the way the dispersal of content discussion has gone, would it be possible to add new merger templates for "gender feminism" into
Who Stole Feminism?, rationale: The two terms were popularized by the book and subsequent support/criticism of the use of the term refers to book.

I understand the issue of notability, which IMHO is frequently misused as a criterion. Having Carthaginian redirect to Carthage is misleading because it misses the point of my article, which is that in the 1800s the term meant coming from Cartagena, Colombia. A better solution, and one that I should have executed initially, was to make it a disambig page. Would you object if I made it a disambig page, or would I fall afoul of another Wikipedia policy? There are so many, most of which I do not know. Regards, Acad Ronin ( talk) 18:40, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The Boxer Rebellion (band), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The National ( 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.)

Hi there - just some friendly advice... I appreciate the work you are doing trying to create articles for various synthesisers and electronic instruments, and to add details to existing articles. I just wanted to warn you that blogs and fan forums, like Vintage Synth, won't be considered reliable sources per WP:RS. I know it's not easy to get hold of old printed magazines, but I would try and concentrate on finding articles about the instruments from publications like Sound on Sound, Future Music, EMusician, etc. (I know some of the articles already reference these publications). If you can't find good references for the articles, there is a good chance another editor will decide to redirect them to the main article about the company (Yamaha, Roland, etc.) or delete them. Just wanted to warn you. :-) Richard3120 (talk) 01:52, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
Thanks Richard, i was not aware Vintage synth website was a also a forum as well as a wealth of knowlege on electronic instruments, but if you look at the pages i have done i will also cross reference upto three pages to ensure the information is consistant. http://www.polynominal.com/ doesn't have a forum and in just informational. http://www.retrosound.de/ is the same, as is http://synthmuseum.com/ https://encyclotronic.com/ (which is very encyclopedic!. I will take your point on magazines though, they are a great source of information, and hopefully we can fill the gap of all the lovely synth, drum machine, sequencer and sampler page. Co-incidentally SOS has a forum page too which can be found here https://www.soundonsound.com/forum In fact some pages contain no references whatsoever, here are just two examples /info/en/?search=Roland_SH-3A /info/en/?search=Roland_System-100M contain no references whatsoever Ijustwannabeawinner (talk) 08:13, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Richard 3120! First of all Happy New Year! Thanks for writing me about my edit in the "Do They Know It's Christmas" article. The Hungarian chart is mostly based on the Spotify data as it's the most popular streaming service in the country. Using this site https://www.spotontrack.com/charts/daily/streams/hu/2018-12-24 I checked it, and realized it was the 1984 version that charted, they just probably used the wrong picture for it as you thought.

Hi Richard,
RE: Brothers in arms best selling album.

On my initial edit I changed the date to reflect oct 2018, The ref you pointed out that is out of date Oct 2016 reference link [31]
The link I read with Oct 2018 figures comes from the underlying hyperlink in 'eighth-best-selling album ' text which leads to the wiki article ' /info/en/?search=List_of_best-selling_albums_in_the_United_Kingdom' which under Brother in arms sales figures in turn references ' https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-uks-biggest-studio-albums-of-all-time__24431/' which shows Oct 2018 figures.
I don't know how to change the reference link [31] to show the current sales figures' https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-uks-biggest-studio-albums-of-all-time__24431/' to reflect that Oct 2018 is the current sales data.

Hi richard, I am formally and politely writing to you in order to present my point of view about the elimination of the article, Jorge Luis Diaz Granados Lugo.
If a consensus is reached to eliminate, I suggest that they allow it to be edited again with greater future reference. It is a biography of a living person, and the verifiable sources can be added later.
Because these expose arguments, there are currently other biographies of living people who do not have much biography, or verified sources. Your referrals are your social networks. As an example, here are two similar cases to compare the articles.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernanfloo https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81ngel_David_Revilla
Check the links of these examples that I expose, and some are broken. Their references are their social networks, and some biographies can not be verified.
But still, it is not cataloged to delete the article.
So if these articles are accepted with a lack of veracity or just because they are YouTuber, why do not they accept the creation of the article Jorge Luis Diaz granados Lugo.

17:18, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
friend from your point of view some things you are in all the reason. But also in what he exposes there are contradictions. YOUTUBE is a social network wherever you look. Can not. categorized as something else why it would be a serious mistake. Since when YouTube are relevant on Wikipedia? Since when do you have to be famous to have an article? Since when is the number of followers taken into account in Wikipedia? Does a YouTube channel merit rstsr on Wikipedia or just accept it for the time being? All these points shine in the extensive explanation of the person, I do not want to offend anyone, I do not want to generate discord but. With the examples that I exposed you previously, there are links that lead nowhere. There is even a link in Fernanflo that is only a statistic of those who see it on YOUTUBE.
Your statistic is an account created by it: https://socialblade.com/youtube/user/fernanfloo
Then we go back to the beginning again, do Youtubers deserve to be in Wikipedia? Or do you accept those items by fashion of the moment, by personal tastes, etc? YouTube is a social network, and that is an absolute truth. Which shows that they are accepting that the reference of an article is a social network. YouTube is a social network. And it does not have to be taken as something out of it, and they are accepting such articles with reference to a social network (YouTube) where the Wikipedia policies are applied. The policies of Wikipedia is for everyone and there can not be that privilege or favoritism of some yes and no others. YouTube is a social network, and they are accepting articles about it. All this is counterproductive. With these facts I expose and affirm that the article Jorge Luis Diaze Granados Lugo must be maintained. If it is eliminated, it will be taken with all due respect, but the action will be frowned upon. Why if they accept YouTubers that are social networks, reflects that exists within the rules of Wikipedia, an air of favoritism to maintain an article.
I hope my words are not taken in a bad way, my intention is not that. Thank you. Fastedeleted ( talk) 07:41, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

As you have made several edits to this article, I thought I might ask you whether you think categories such as Murder Ballads and Rock Ballads really apply to this song?

This was not a good edit whatsoever. You essentially restored a prior version of the page. It's like you weren't aware Little Mix did a broadcast on Instagram Live four hours before you made that edit where they revealed the release date, and you were essentially accusing all the editors in the interim time, including myself, of having added unsourced material despite the clear fact I had added three sources to the article ( 1, 2, 3). Next time, check what is sourced and remove only what is unsourced. Don't just go and restore a prior version of the article by just saving to the last time you edited. Normally I'm fine with your edits but that was annoying and really misguided. Ss 112 03:50, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Dear Richard3120. I am a collaborator of the International Conference on Applied Informatics (ICAI). This year we have the second version of the conference. I considered interesting to include this article because the results of the first version of the conference were pretty good. The conference has been created by Hector Florez, which is a professor and researcher in one important university in Colombia. So far, there are a lot of collaborators (around 120 researchers that hold Ph.D. in informatics areas) in the different committees supporting the conference. The idea of the conference is to provide important contributions to informatics. This year ICAI will be held in Madrid Spain, but there are some proposals to host ICAI the following years in Argentina, Austria, United States, and Ecuador. Then, with this article, it is possible to keep the history of the conference as well as to state its importance. I am willing to improve the article based on the feedback. To write this article, I read some articles about conferences in different areas. Then, I thought that the information already included is enough and appropriate. Indeed, I have tried to include references to every information included. However, I can include more information if it is required. Thank you.

Hi! I believe the reviews I got from Before and After Science were also from Tamm's book, but I believe someone suggested to me use the sources that I believe were in the books references section, which specifically cited the magazines. For other reviews (i.e: Escape), I did snag some reviews from rocksbackpages. My local university had access to its database so at the time as being a student, I had access from my own computer. I still am sometimes close to the university and pop in and go on the local computers their to get access to the site. I don't know when I will be there next, but I would be happy to try and look up some material if you would like. As for other reviews, I believe some old NME reviews are on the NME website, and this site has some old Select magazine reviews. Beyond that I have no really found anything outside university access.

I understand the issue of notability, which IMHO is frequently misused as a criterion. Having Carthaginian redirect to Carthage is misleading because it misses the point of my article, which is that in the 1800s the term meant coming from Cartagena, Colombia. A better solution, and one that I should have executed initially, was to make it a disambig page. Would you object if I made it a disambig page, or would I fall afoul of another Wikipedia policy? There are so many, most of which I do not know. Regards, Acad Ronin ( talk) 18:40, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The Boxer Rebellion (band), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The National ( 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.)

Think about placing a vote here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Beautiful (Aretha Henry album). That one has the same issues that you pointed out when voting in the AfD for her other album article. Also, I don't know how to bundle AfDs together so that might be a useful extra step if you're able. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( Talk| Contribs) 21:13, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi there - just some friendly advice... I appreciate the work you are doing trying to create articles for various synthesisers and electronic instruments, and to add details to existing articles. I just wanted to warn you that blogs and fan forums, like Vintage Synth, won't be considered reliable sources per WP:RS. I know it's not easy to get hold of old printed magazines, but I would try and concentrate on finding articles about the instruments from publications like Sound on Sound, Future Music, EMusician, etc. (I know some of the articles already reference these publications). If you can't find good references for the articles, there is a good chance another editor will decide to redirect them to the main article about the company (Yamaha, Roland, etc.) or delete them. Just wanted to warn you. :-) Richard3120 (talk) 01:52, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
Thanks Richard, i was not aware Vintage synth website was a also a forum as well as a wealth of knowlege on electronic instruments, but if you look at the pages i have done i will also cross reference upto three pages to ensure the information is consistant. http://www.polynominal.com/ doesn't have a forum and in just informational. http://www.retrosound.de/ is the same, as is http://synthmuseum.com/ https://encyclotronic.com/ (which is very encyclopedic!. I will take your point on magazines though, they are a great source of information, and hopefully we can fill the gap of all the lovely synth, drum machine, sequencer and sampler page. Co-incidentally SOS has a forum page too which can be found here https://www.soundonsound.com/forum In fact some pages contain no references whatsoever, here are just two examples /info/en/?search=Roland_SH-3A /info/en/?search=Roland_System-100M contain no references whatsoever Ijustwannabeawinner (talk) 08:13, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello Richard3120. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Earthtones World Tour, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: if it's a tour by a notable artist, that is sufficient claim of significance for A7. Consider merging to Earthtones (Bahamas album) per WP:ATD-M. Thank you. So Why 12:19, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
By
replacing {{

Hi Richard3120
Something went wrong with your edits to 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover . They made the page populate the non-existent, and implausibly-named, Category:Singlechart usages for West Germany2. This also happened with your edits to 2 other songs: 9 to 5 (Dolly Parton song) and Guantanamera.
In each case I have reverted your edits to remove the redlinked categories per WP:REDNOT. I don't know how the music chart templates work, so I'm sorry but I can't advise you on how to fix them. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 11:09, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your edit on the James Norcliffe article. I have added several more citations including to reputable newspapers (Otago Daily Times and others on the Stuff website), journals (NZ Author), interviews (Radio NZ) and articles (Jacket2 and Flash Frontier). I feel the topic meets Wikipedia's general notability guidelines as he has been widely published and has been recognised with a number of awards, prizes and residencies, and the Jacket2 article calls him one of New Zealand's leading mainstream poets, so I feel the template message could be removed now - do you agree?

Hi Richard 3120! First of all Happy New Year! Thanks for writing me about my edit in the "Do They Know It's Christmas" article. The Hungarian chart is mostly based on the Spotify data as it's the most popular streaming service in the country. Using this site https://www.spotontrack.com/charts/daily/streams/hu/2018-12-24 I checked it, and realized it was the 1984 version that charted, they just probably used the wrong picture for it as you thought.

Thanks for reporting those accounts on the The Time (Bros album) editing history to the TomWatkins1970 sock puppet investigation page. As you may have noticed, whoever is behind this account is incredibly persistent - often re-appearing as soon as page protection expires, and resorting to personal abuse and accusations of others who revert their edits as being vandals.

Hi Richard,
RE: Brothers in arms best selling album.
As of July 2016 Brothers in Arms is the eighth-best-selling album of all-time in the UK.[31]
I clicked on the eight best selling album link - /info/en/?search=List_of_best-selling_albums_in_the_United_Kingdom
Which had another link in the sales figures - https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-uks-biggest-studio-albums-of-all-time__24431/
I can't see how to edit the reference link [31] to the new link.
You able to help?

On my initial edit I changed the date to reflect oct 2018, The ref you pointed out that is out of date Oct 2016 reference link [31]
The link I read with Oct 2018 figures comes from the underlying hyperlink in 'eighth-best-selling album ' text which leads to the wiki article ' /info/en/?search=List_of_best-selling_albums_in_the_United_Kingdom' which under Brother in arms sales figures in turn references ' https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-uks-biggest-studio-albums-of-all-time__24431/' which shows Oct 2018 figures.
I don't know how to change the reference link [31] to show the current sales figures' https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-uks-biggest-studio-albums-of-all-time__24431/' to reflect that Oct 2018 is the current sales data.
When I go to click edit on the references i get.

Hi richard, I am formally and politely writing to you in order to present my point of view about the elimination of the article, Jorge Luis Diaz Granados Lugo.
If a consensus is reached to eliminate, I suggest that they allow it to be edited again with greater future reference. It is a biography of a living person, and the verifiable sources can be added later.
Because these expose arguments, there are currently other biographies of living people who do not have much biography, or verified sources. Your referrals are your social networks. As an example, here are two similar cases to compare the articles.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernanfloo https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81ngel_David_Revilla
Check the links of these examples that I expose, and some are broken. Their references are their social networks, and some biographies can not be verified.
But still, it is not cataloged to delete the article.
So if these articles are accepted with a lack of veracity or just because they are YouTuber, why do not they accept the creation of the article Jorge Luis Diaz granados Lugo.

17:18, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
friend from your point of view some things you are in all the reason. But also in what he exposes there are contradictions. YOUTUBE is a social network wherever you look. Can not. categorized as something else why it would be a serious mistake. Since when YouTube are relevant on Wikipedia? Since when do you have to be famous to have an article? Since when is the number of followers taken into account in Wikipedia? Does a YouTube channel merit rstsr on Wikipedia or just accept it for the time being? All these points shine in the extensive explanation of the person, I do not want to offend anyone, I do not want to generate discord but. With the examples that I exposed you previously, there are links that lead nowhere. There is even a link in Fernanflo that is only a statistic of those who see it on YOUTUBE.
Your statistic is an account created by it: https://socialblade.com/youtube/user/fernanfloo
Then we go back to the beginning again, do Youtubers deserve to be in Wikipedia? Or do you accept those items by fashion of the moment, by personal tastes, etc? YouTube is a social network, and that is an absolute truth. Which shows that they are accepting that the reference of an article is a social network. YouTube is a social network. And it does not have to be taken as something out of it, and they are accepting such articles with reference to a social network (YouTube) where the Wikipedia policies are applied. The policies of Wikipedia is for everyone and there can not be that privilege or favoritism of some yes and no others. YouTube is a social network, and they are accepting articles about it. All this is counterproductive. With these facts I expose and affirm that the article Jorge Luis Diaze Granados Lugo must be maintained. If it is eliminated, it will be taken with all due respect, but the action will be frowned upon. Why if they accept YouTubers that are social networks, reflects that exists within the rules of Wikipedia, an air of favoritism to maintain an article.
I hope my words are not taken in a bad way, my intention is not that. Thank you. Fastedeleted ( talk) 07:41, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

As you have made several edits to this article, I thought I might ask you whether you think categories such as Murder Ballads and Rock Ballads really apply to this song? It seems to me that it has a ballad segment, but the song itself is not actually a ballad. I won't remove unless you agree. Rodericksilly ( talk) 19:17, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
This was not a good edit whatsoever. You essentially restored a prior version of the page. It's like you weren't aware Little Mix did a broadcast on Instagram Live four hours before you made that edit where they revealed the release date, and you were essentially accusing all the editors in the interim time, including myself, of having added unsourced material despite the clear fact I had added three sources to the article ( 1, 2, 3). Next time, check what is sourced and remove only what is unsourced. Don't just go and restore a prior version of the article by just saving to the last time you edited. Normally I'm fine with your edits but that was annoying and really misguided. Ss 112 03:50, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Dear Richard3120. I am a collaborator of the International Conference on Applied Informatics (ICAI). This year we have the second version of the conference. I considered interesting to include this article because the results of the first version of the conference were pretty good. The conference has been created by Hector Florez, which is a professor and researcher in one important university in Colombia. So far, there are a lot of collaborators (around 120 researchers that hold Ph.D. in informatics areas) in the different committees supporting the conference. The idea of the conference is to provide important contributions to informatics. This year ICAI will be held in Madrid Spain, but there are some proposals to host ICAI the following years in Argentina, Austria, United States, and Ecuador. Then, with this article, it is possible to keep the history of the conference as well as to state its importance. I am willing to improve the article based on the feedback. To write this article, I read some articles about conferences in different areas. Then, I thought that the information already included is enough and appropriate. Indeed, I have tried to include references to every information included. However, I can include more information if it is required. Thank you.

Hi! I believe the reviews I got from Before and After Science were also from Tamm's book, but I believe someone suggested to me use the sources that I believe were in the books references section, which specifically cited the magazines. For other reviews (i.e: Escape), I did snag some reviews from rocksbackpages. My local university had access to its database so at the time as being a student, I had access from my own computer. I still am sometimes close to the university and pop in and go on the local computers their to get access to the site. I don't know when I will be there next, but I would be happy to try and look up some material if you would like. As for other reviews, I believe some old NME reviews are on the NME website, and this site has some old Select magazine reviews. Beyond that I have no really found anything outside university access.
