Thank you for noting that Teddy was Jewish. I get really resentful of the Wikipedians who think that they know better than what records, etc., show; and being family, I know that the Andrulewiczes became Anusim because we were heavily persecuted during our time in the Russian Pale, etc. (In fact, my great-great-grandma—of blessed memory—converted during the pogroms, and she would have highly resented anyone who knew telling her that the Andrulewiczes were not Jewish.). 108.40.7.179 ( talk) 00:55, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Leave the article for the page alone. When people look at the article, they would like to look at the tracklist to decide on whether to buy the album or not. And it did chart well. It reached number 1 on the UK Compilation Chart which means that charting in the charts does make the album notable so get your facts right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.156.135.153 ( talk) 13:38, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

you're not listening are you. Why are you deleting the Billboard citation "Album Discography: "Karen," 1993 "Quan Shan Karen Mok," 1996 "Whole Body (Cantonese Album)," 1996 "I Say," 1997 "To Be," 1998 "You Can,"" Why is it so important to you to remove this? In ictu oculi ( talk) 23:15, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
Citation templates are used to format citations in a consistent way, as an alternative to formatting the citations by hand.
Because templates can be contentious, editors should not add citation templates, or change an article with a consistent citation format to another, without gaining consensus; see WP:CITECONSENSUS and WP:CITEVAR. The various citation templates below may be freely mixed, since they all produce a similar format.
But this isn't the issue, you can format citations using a template if you want, I am asking you to explain why you think a Billboard reference giving support for the lead Karen Mok .. Album Discography: "Karen," 1993 "Quan Shan Karen Mok," 1996 "Whole Body (Cantonese Album)," 1996 "I Say," 1997 "To Be," 1998 "You Can,". has to be deleted? You say it's not relevant, why should your opinion carry weight? You added a notability template to one of the best known albums of one of the world's best known singers, a quote from Billboard if nothing else should have prevented you adding a notability template.

There is a lot of information on the article to make it look a lot more than notable. When people look at the article, they would like to look at the tracklist to decide on whether to buy the album or not. And it actually did chart well. It reached number 1 on the UK Compilation Chart which means that charting in the charts does make the album notable and adding a tracklist is NOT vandalism, It is informative.
No. When people want to look at a tracklist for a specific album, the first place they are most likely to search for it, is on here. User talk:hadji87

you are right but the albums in question are her studio albums. and again you can help by finding the sources you need. I also seen your description on the first album and I think it's ridiculous. you are the first dude to tell me that sources needing reviews need to be posted. anyways I am just pointing out that you could help add the sources you want. again the albums in question are studio albums. also no need to be rude.

I don't think you understood my deletion request of Slave to the Rhythm (Michael Jackson song). An article exists for the song at Slave to the Rhythm (Michael Jackson Song), but per Wikipedia naming conventions, it should be at the title that is currently a redirect. Since I am unable to perform this move myself, I requested the deletion of the redirect so the article with "Song" can be moved to the same name but with "song". I can't just simply cut-and-paste because the history of the article that does exist should remain intact. This should be an uncontroversial move. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars Talk to me 23:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Sorry for the delayed response - my poor computer was in the shop for a couple of days due to some kind of virus, and I only just got it back.
To find the requisite album articles I used AWB. First, I set it to make a list of all articles under Category:Albums and its subcategories. Once I got that, I turned it into a list of talkpages (using AWB) and saved the list. This I fed into my sandbox bit by bit to look for redlinks; as I found them, I set AWB to create a list of all it could find on the page, and generated talkpages from there. It's awfully involved - though much quicker than it sounds - but it's the best way I know to find the untagged articles. Sorry to make all the extra work; I don't believe in assessing automatically because I'm not looking at the articles themselves, merely the talkspace. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?

Hello, is there a particular reason why you did not change the parent cats on Category:Wikipedia categories named after musical groups, whilst changing the parent cats of all of the subcats of this category? - Hoops gza ( talk) 02:42, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
Hey, re: the SA airplay chart, I suggest I/we should remove old archives and chart positions from the Mediaguide site, as Mediaguide are now defunct and the chart is now EMA, all the charts prior to EMA are no longer on the website. Accordingly, peaks should only be notable on Wikipedia from when the EMA chart began on 21 May 2013, as all the charts from that date are archived on the EMA website, whereas the ones from Mediaguide are not and no longer exist. What do you say? Also, I still am getting no reply with regard to the SA album chart on the Records chart talkpage, and I want to add to the acceptable charts section on WP:CHARTS.— Cool Marc 00:19, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
I've spent a while today rectifying the "citation needed" tags you (correctly) placed on the '2013 in British music charts' article and putting proper citations in the article – I hope that I haven't missed out anything that still needs sourcing. I do plan to work back and rectify the citations for all the UK year end charts back to 1970 (the first year they were actually based on sales, rather than a points system), but I'd like to get some sort of consensus on consistency of presentation first: the format (some are in lists, others in tables), the cut-off point for the chart (some go to 40 singles/albums, some to 50, some to 100, etc) and other issues need to be sorted out first before I spend more time on them. My problem at the moment are the weekly summaries Hadji87 and others have been writing since 2011: quite apart from making the article absurdly long and not actually providing any really useful information, the date they use for each week's chart is the date it is revealed, every Sunday. The Official Charts Company uses a "week ending" date of the following Saturday, resulting in the "week count" in Wikipedia being one week out compared with the OCC. This may seem trivial, but apart from not matching the official source, it means the last week of 2013 on the Wikipedia article should actually be the first week of 2014, which is important when you come to talk about year end sales – and likewise for other years. I posted a message to Hadji mentioning this, and he has simply blanked his talk page.
I don't really know where to go to try and get this consensus on the yearly 'xxxx in British music' articles and the presentation of the charts: I can see Deb is the other person who often gets involved in correcting these articles but I'm not sure either you or her would want to get involved. Any ideas where I should be posting? Thanks. Richard3120 ( talk) 21:39, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
It is obvious you and I have very different philosophies. I think redlinks are good as they encourage passers-by to create the articles, and I think short stubs are even better as working off an already established piece of prose no matter how small, is better than staring at a blank page (any writer will tell you that). I also believe that an article, no matter how short, as long as the topic is notable and the information within it is correct, is fine to exist as is. Further, I think that all the articles I have created, at least the vast majority of them, are highly deserving of articles. You will notice that all the musical coverage across Wikipedia is shockingly underwhelming, and many standards and classics don't have articles yet. Yes, I am aware of WP:NSONGS, and I could pull up quotes from there than support my argument. Nevertheless if this is the course of action you want to take, enjoy. That's a lot of articles to go through though.-- Coin945 ( talk) 18:33, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Out of control category creep has been a concern of mine. Thankfully, I took the time to notice that it was due to editors exploiting loopholes in categorization policy/guidelines before I wasted a bunch of time with CFDs. However, after seeing those two categories, this brings it to a whole new level. So every article on Wikipedia should be accompanied by one or more vanity categories? That's the only possible explanation I can see for that. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 08:28, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi again – I don't know if you have been following the conversation A Thousand Doors and I have been having about the presentation of these tables: it was he who originally suggested to me that sortable tables would be the way to go and I had no objection to this, and began creating the tables accordingly. Unfortunately you-know-who took it upon himself to revert these changes – A Thousand Doors left a polite message asking him to explain his reasons for the change here at User talk:Hadji87#2013 in British music charts, but it won't surprise you to learn he hasn't been graced with a reply.
I had only been waiting for a consensus, as I didn't want to do all the work of creating these sortable tables only to have to revert them all to basic tables or lists afterwards. It seems that you and A Thousand Doors both agree on the sortable tables format, so providing nobody else sees fit to change them back, I'll resume work on updating all the other years.

I'm inclined to support making the "Daydream Believer & Other Hits" page read more like an encyclopedic description than a review, and to make it neutral in tone. It's good that you removed this information.
I probably wouldn't have included that information myself, had I noticed that it was a clear demonstration of non-neutral content. I'm no great shakes at making articles meet the standards of wikipedia, which probably explains why I didn't consider removing that information you removed.
I hope to see the standards of that page improved in future, not that it's anyone's sole responsibility to improve it. -- C.Syde ( talk | contribs) 08:24, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Greetings Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars, can you please help me move the Category:The Headies winners page to Category:Winners of The Headies? I made a mistake when creating the category. For some reason, I can't move the page. I'm not sure which user groups have authorization to move category pages. versace1608 ( talk) 06:43, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

you're not listening are you. Why are you deleting the Billboard citation "Album Discography: "Karen," 1993 "Quan Shan Karen Mok," 1996 "Whole Body (Cantonese Album)," 1996 "I Say," 1997 "To Be," 1998 "You Can,"" Why is it so important to you to remove this?

Citation templates are used to format citations in a consistent way, as an alternative to formatting the citations by hand.
Because templates can be contentious, editors should not add citation templates, or change an article with a consistent citation format to another, without gaining consensus; see WP:CITECONSENSUS and WP:CITEVAR. The various citation templates below may be freely mixed, since they all produce a similar format.
But this isn't the issue, you can format citations using a template if you want, I am asking you to explain why you think a Billboard reference giving support for the lead Karen Mok .. Album Discography: "Karen," 1993 "Quan Shan Karen Mok," 1996 "Whole Body (Cantonese Album)," 1996 "I Say," 1997 "To Be," 1998 "You Can,". has to be deleted? You say it's not relevant, why should your opinion carry weight? You added a notability template to one of the best known albums of one of the world's best known singers, a quote from Billboard if nothing else should have prevented you adding a notability template.

There is a lot of information on the article to make it look a lot more than notable. When people look at the article, they would like to look at the tracklist to decide on whether to buy the album or not. And it actually did chart well. It reached number 1 on the UK Compilation Chart which means that charting in the charts does make the album notable and adding a tracklist is NOT vandalism, It is informative.
No. When people want to look at a tracklist for a specific album, the first place they are most likely to search for it, is on here. User talk:hadji87

you are right but the albums in question are her studio albums. and again you can help by finding the sources you need.

I don't think you understood my deletion request of Slave to the Rhythm (Michael Jackson song). An article exists for the song at Slave to the Rhythm (Michael Jackson Song), but per Wikipedia naming conventions, it should be at the title that is currently a redirect. Since I am unable to perform this move myself, I requested the deletion of the redirect so the article with "Song" can be moved to the same name but with "song". I can't just simply cut-and-paste because the history of the article that does exist should remain intact. This should be an uncontroversial move. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars Talk to me 23:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Sorry for the delayed response - my poor computer was in the shop for a couple of days due to some kind of virus, and I only just got it back.
To find the requisite album articles I used AWB. First, I set it to make a list of all articles under Category:Albums and its subcategories. Once I got that, I turned it into a list of talkpages (using AWB) and saved the list. This I fed into my sandbox bit by bit to look for redlinks; as I found them, I set AWB to create a list of all it could find on the page, and generated talkpages from there. It's awfully involved - though much quicker than it sounds - but it's the best way I know to find the untagged articles. Sorry to make all the extra work; I don't believe in assessing automatically because I'm not looking at the articles themselves, merely the talkspace. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?

Hey, re: the SA airplay chart, I suggest I/we should remove old archives and chart positions from the Mediaguide site, as Mediaguide are now defunct and the chart is now EMA, all the charts prior to EMA are no longer on the website. Accordingly, peaks should only be notable on Wikipedia from when the EMA chart began on 21 May 2013, as all the charts from that date are archived on the EMA website, whereas the ones from Mediaguide are not and no longer exist. What do you say? Also, I still am getting no reply with regard to the SA album chart on the Records chart talkpage, and I want to add to the acceptable charts section on WP:CHARTS.— Cool Marc 00:19, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
I've spent a while today rectifying the "citation needed" tags you (correctly) placed on the '2013 in British music charts' article and putting proper citations in the article – I hope that I haven't missed out anything that still needs sourcing. I do plan to work back and rectify the citations for all the UK year end charts back to 1970 (the first year they were actually based on sales, rather than a points system), but I'd like to get some sort of consensus on consistency of presentation first: the format (some are in lists, others in tables), the cut-off point for the chart (some go to 40 singles/albums, some to 50, some to 100, etc) and other issues need to be sorted out first before I spend more time on them. My problem at the moment are the weekly summaries Hadji87 and others have been writing since 2011: quite apart from making the article absurdly long and not actually providing any really useful information, the date they use for each week's chart is the date it is revealed, every Sunday. The Official Charts Company uses a "week ending" date of the following Saturday, resulting in the "week count" in Wikipedia being one week out compared with the OCC. This may seem trivial, but apart from not matching the official source, it means the last week of 2013 on the Wikipedia article should actually be the first week of 2014, which is important when you come to talk about year end sales – and likewise for other years. I posted a message to Hadji mentioning this, and he has simply blanked his talk page.
I don't really know where to go to try and get this consensus on the yearly 'xxxx in British music' articles and the presentation of the charts: I can see Deb is the other person who often gets involved in correcting these articles but I'm not sure either you or her would want to get involved. Any ideas where I should be posting? Thanks. Richard3120 ( talk) 21:39, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
It is obvious you and I have very different philosophies. I think redlinks are good as they encourage passers-by to create the articles, and I think short stubs are even better as working off an already established piece of prose no matter how small, is better than staring at a blank page (any writer will tell you that). I also believe that an article, no matter how short, as long as the topic is notable and the information within it is correct, is fine to exist as is. Further, I think that all the articles I have created, at least the vast majority of them, are highly deserving of articles. You will notice that all the musical coverage across Wikipedia is shockingly underwhelming, and many standards and classics don't have articles yet. Yes, I am aware of WP:NSONGS, and I could pull up quotes from there than support my argument. Nevertheless if this is the course of action you want to take, enjoy. That's a lot of articles to go through though.-- Coin945 ( talk) 18:33, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Out of control category creep has been a concern of mine. Thankfully, I took the time to notice that it was due to editors exploiting loopholes in categorization policy/guidelines before I wasted a bunch of time with CFDs. However, after seeing those two categories, this brings it to a whole new level. So every article on Wikipedia should be accompanied by one or more vanity categories? That's the only possible explanation I can see for that. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 08:28, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi again – I don't know if you have been following the conversation A Thousand Doors and I have been having about the presentation of these tables: it was he who originally suggested to me that sortable tables would be the way to go and I had no objection to this, and began creating the tables accordingly. Unfortunately you-know-who took it upon himself to revert these changes – A Thousand Doors left a polite message asking him to explain his reasons for the change here at User talk:Hadji87#2013 in British music charts, but it won't surprise you to learn he hasn't been graced with a reply.
I had only been waiting for a consensus, as I didn't want to do all the work of creating these sortable tables only to have to revert them all to basic tables or lists afterwards. It seems that you and A Thousand Doors both agree on the sortable tables format, so providing nobody else sees fit to change them back, I'll resume work on updating all the other years.

I'm inclined to support making the "Daydream Believer & Other Hits" page read more like an encyclopedic description than a review, and to make it neutral in tone. It's good that you removed this information.
I probably wouldn't have included that information myself, had I noticed that it was a clear demonstration of non-neutral content. I'm no great shakes at making articles meet the standards of wikipedia, which probably explains why I didn't consider removing that information you removed.
I hope to see the standards of that page improved in future, not that it's anyone's sole responsibility to improve it. -- C.Syde ( talk | contribs) 08:24, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
