Hi there, have you considered making use of a tool like Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser? It is built for making repetitive editing tasks a bit easier by semi-automating them. For example, you could make a list of articles that contain "New Wave" and tell it to change them to "New wave". You still have to review each change to make sure it's correct, but it might be a lot easier for something like that. Just a thought. -- Spike Wilbury ( talk) 01:37, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello!
I'm currently adding some New Age artists (real, all those I append are known for a long time, and having produced many albums each one, and generally with international career) to the list.
And suddenly I see a new banner telling that the list is now restricted to autoconfirmed users. Is there a problem with my contributions? I've been contributor for years on the French Wikipedia (hundreds and hundreds of contributions, and some new articles) and sometimes on the English Wikipedia (less contributions of course but always serious).
I point out that I'm also myself New Age musician (amateur but quite known on KVRAudio with my nickname BlackWinny). My profession was biologist (now retired).
Could you give me some precisions?... if there are special things to do to be autoconfirmed for this page.

Hello. You appear to know a lot about Wikipedia and its music articles. I tried uploading a sound sample onto Wikipedia with a song from an album I bought on CD (and put onto my computer) and for some reason I wasn't able to upload even though I filled out all the required fields. I do feel like it might be because the audio was m4a instead of MP3. I didn't download an MP3 of the song because that's illegal (unless you download it and buy it at the same time on iTunes). How do I upload a song (in an m4a) that comes from a CD I bought and how do I put it into a 30-second sample? Statik N ( talk) 17:26, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
I hope it can help you. Synthwave.94 ( talk) 17:36, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
The sources explicitly mention that EDL and Burden of a Day, respectively, are a mix of metal (melodic metalcore for the latter) with other styles, and are supported by an additional reference. So why are you treating those sources as though they don't support "metal" as a genre for those bands? My use of Twinkle in both cases was accidental, as I noted in my subsequent edit summaries. In Twinkle, the undo button is located underneath the vandalism rollback button, and both times I thought I clicked "undo" but apparently clicked "rollback" instead, and thus couldn't leave the edit summary that I desired both times. Sorry about that.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done) 17:36, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Synthwave. I saw your responses in the talk page of list of psychedelic rock artists and you seem to know what you are talking about unlike some others. And thank you for your helpful comments in the talk page and your support. I created the list more than half a decade ago (with limited online sources back in those days) and since then it grew nicely and I watched the list over the years, as many other editors did.
You know about the current activity happening in the list and I wanted to ask you kindly if you could update the references and remove the issues template once done, only if you had the time. I have stopped editing long ago and I do not have the luxury of spending time in Wikipedia any more.
But, I had a look at that references on Allmusic. References 1, 25 and 100 are sort of broken, well, Allmusic must have changed their page style because it seems now that top psych rock bands list page is gone and it only displays genres page. I would start with those bands that were referenced with them links. You could maybe use this page [2], or maybe this [3] only for a start. I would also appreciate if you could let me know if you can't find any reference for some bands in that list, then I try and help you.
By the way, the neo-psychedelia section of the list has been removed by that editor and they created a whole new page with it. Ha. Could you even do that when the case in talk page was closed in favor of the article and its scope? Anyway, I already created a new section for later years but sure it needs to be improved. I only added two bands that came to my mind right away that are surely psych rock bands. The other editors would start adding soon, forsure.
And one more thing I want to add: I ask for help from you as I see you enjoy editing in list pages and you seem to be very good at it. Thanks in advance, even if you refuse to edit the list. Cheers! ~ Elitropia ( talk) 17:47, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Synthwave.94, I believe that the record sales of both Bad and Dangerous should be updated: Sources claiming Bad sold 35 million (even 45 million) were stated before 2017, in 2017 it was certified Diamond in the US meaning an extra 1 million was officially added to its sales so logically I think the worldwide sales figure should be up to 36 million. With Dangerous, it has sources from 10 years ago ( https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/michael-jackson/5648176/Michael-Jacksons-best-selling-studio-albums.html) stating it had sold 32 million, in 2018 it was certified 8x Platinum in the US meaning that the updated worldwide sales figure should be up to 33 million. This also happened with Thriller which was at 65 million and went up to 66 million once it received another certification in the US. What do you think?

Dear Synthwave.94,
Thanks for your recent cleanup on the article Total Eclipse of the Heart. I especially appreciate your commitment to making sure the infobox content is backed up with a reliable source. I notice you amended the release date to match the US version, with the RIAA as a reference. I believe I have found a reliable source for the UK release date too. If you visit https://www.bpi.co.uk/brit-certified/ and under the 'Certified Awards Search' heading, search "Bonnie Tyler", and you'll see a list of her certifications along with a release date of 11 February 1983. Is this reliable enough? If so, how would we best cite this? I presume it would require adding some written instructions into the reference.
All best wishes! Skyrack95 ( talk) 17:11, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Hey, concerning your deletion on You_Spin_Me_Round_(Like_a_Record), WP:Songcover provides 2 guidelines. One refers to WP:Notability_(music)#Songs which defines when a song merits its own page (the section on Dope's cover and line on Gigi d'Agostino's cover does not meet this standard; it is only given 1 sentence in an album review). The second (which I think both meet thru their 1 sentence - maybe you disagree) is:
These criteria mean the Jessica Simpson section and sentence on the Danzel cover must be deleted or tagged for missing references. ( WP:Notability_(music)#Songs: ranking on national/significant music/sales charts "indicates only that a song may be notable, not that it is notable.") If you agree, I can hunt to see if any of the deleted or to-be-deleted covers have reviews to justify inclusion.
Also, can you discuss this on the relevant talk page section for the article so we no longer have people posting about this?
P.S. - "Album Review: Flo Rida". MTV. 3 May 2009. Retrieved 1 November 2016. is now missing from the cited MTV page

. Did you have it?{{cite web}}
. This is really counterproductive because unspaced constructions like {{cite web|first=...
often get wrong linebreaks in the editor:...{{cite
web|first=...
{{cite web |first=...
with a space has a chance of being displayed more readably:...{{cite web
|first=...
is also more readable in the source code, especially with syntax highlighting. —

23:06, 29 March 2021 (UTC)Hi, since you keep forcibly reverting my good faith edits trying to specify the genre of the remix of that track since both versions differs, am I to consider that there is absolutely no way to prove to you that the remix is a difference genre whatsoever? Please do consider that it was 2005 at the time, I perfectly well know it to be electro house because it fall under that category for all qualifications, but you for some reason insist we be 100% super duper specific and, sincerely, there's no way to prove its genre at this point. I swear to scientist ever wrote an entire article dedicated to this specific remix of this specific track (which would be ridiculous as heck) just to prove to you, good sir, that this track is an electro house remix. I know it to be true, I asked to address me directly in case of questions, apparently, all you prefer to do is to revert my edits, so... I have 0 proof at this point. Forgive me, Vinylshakerz, I know you are good guys and all, but here I can't justify your style, unfortunately. So I don't know that genre you made your music in at the time, sorry again.

Let's enjoy a snack for a bit. I do appreciate the work you are doing on the Christian metal list, despite the fact that I've gotten annoyed with some of your methods. Thank you. 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:54, 7 June 2015 (UTC) |
Whenever you feel your done on the list, would you mind leaving up the "under construction" tag? I'll be working on the template in one of my sandboxes, as I don't want to conflict with your edits. If there are artists I feel that you missed, for one reason or another, I'll see if I can find sources and add them, too.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done) 19:21, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

For you work cleaning up list articles, including the List of Christian metal artists. 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done) 17:32, 12 June 2015 (UTC) |
Hello!
I'm currently adding some New Age artists (real, all those I append are known for a long time, and having produced many albums each one, and generally with international career) to the list.
And suddenly I see a new banner telling that the list is now restricted to autoconfirmed users. Is there a problem with my contributions? I've been contributor for years on the French Wikipedia (hundreds and hundreds of contributions, and some new articles) and sometimes on the English Wikipedia (less contributions of course but always serious).
I point out that I'm also myself New Age musician (amateur but quite known on KVRAudio with my nickname BlackWinny). My profession was biologist (now retired).
Could you give me some precisions?... if there are special things to do to be autoconfirmed for this page.

Hi Synthwave.94, I am wondering now how we can remove the category? I understand it's not needed for the link to work, but the category isn't something to be ignored completely. Either way, both versions work. I appreciate advice because this template isn't used when I was heavily editing WP before. I'm probably missing something.

Hello. You appear to know a lot about Wikipedia and its music articles. I tried uploading a sound sample onto Wikipedia with a song from an album I bought on CD (and put onto my computer) and for some reason I wasn't able to upload even though I filled out all the required fields. I do feel like it might be because the audio was m4a instead of MP3. I didn't download an MP3 of the song because that's illegal (unless you download it and buy it at the same time on iTunes). How do I upload a song (in an m4a) that comes from a CD I bought and how do I put it into a 30-second sample? Statik N ( talk) 17:26, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
I hope it can help you. Synthwave.94 ( talk) 17:36, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
The sources explicitly mention that EDL and Burden of a Day, respectively, are a mix of metal (melodic metalcore for the latter) with other styles, and are supported by an additional reference. So why are you treating those sources as though they don't support "metal" as a genre for those bands? My use of Twinkle in both cases was accidental, as I noted in my subsequent edit summaries. In Twinkle, the undo button is located underneath the vandalism rollback button, and both times I thought I clicked "undo" but apparently clicked "rollback" instead, and thus couldn't leave the edit summary that I desired both times. Sorry about that.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done) 17:36, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for your edits. As I am a user from Hong Kong which I usually edit in the Chinese Wikipedia, I seldom make edits in other Wikipedias. Thanks for letting me know some of the rules and obligations in English Wikipedia.

Hello, Synthwave. I saw your responses in the talk page of list of psychedelic rock artists and you seem to know what you are talking about unlike some others. And thank you for your helpful comments in the talk page and your support. I created the list more than half a decade ago (with limited online sources back in those days) and since then it grew nicely and I watched the list over the years, as many other editors did.
You know about the current activity happening in the list and I wanted to ask you kindly if you could update the references and remove the issues template once done, only if you had the time. I have stopped editing long ago and I do not have the luxury of spending time in Wikipedia any more.
But, I had a look at that references on Allmusic. References 1, 25 and 100 are sort of broken, well, Allmusic must have changed their page style because it seems now that top psych rock bands list page is gone and it only displays genres page. I would start with those bands that were referenced with them links. You could maybe use this page [2], or maybe this [3] only for a start. I would also appreciate if you could let me know if you can't find any reference for some bands in that list, then I try and help you.
By the way, the neo-psychedelia section of the list has been removed by that editor and they created a whole new page with it. Ha. Could you even do that when the case in talk page was closed in favor of the article and its scope? Anyway, I already created a new section for later years but sure it needs to be improved. I only added two bands that came to my mind right away that are surely psych rock bands. The other editors would start adding soon, forsure.
And one more thing I want to add: I ask for help from you as I see you enjoy editing in list pages and you seem to be very good at it. Thanks in advance, even if you refuse to edit the list. Cheers! ~ Elitropia ( talk) 17:47, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Synthwave.94, I believe that the record sales of both Bad and Dangerous should be updated: Sources claiming Bad sold 35 million (even 45 million) were stated before 2017, in 2017 it was certified Diamond in the US meaning an extra 1 million was officially added to its sales so logically I think the worldwide sales figure should be up to 36 million. With Dangerous, it has sources from 10 years ago ( https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/michael-jackson/5648176/Michael-Jacksons-best-selling-studio-albums.html) stating it had sold 32 million, in 2018 it was certified 8x Platinum in the US meaning that the updated worldwide sales figure should be up to 33 million. This also happened with Thriller which was at 65 million and went up to 66 million once it received another certification in the US. What do you think?

Dear Synthwave.94,
Thanks for your recent cleanup on the article Total Eclipse of the Heart. I especially appreciate your commitment to making sure the infobox content is backed up with a reliable source. I notice you amended the release date to match the US version, with the RIAA as a reference. I believe I have found a reliable source for the UK release date too. If you visit https://www.bpi.co.uk/brit-certified/ and under the 'Certified Awards Search' heading, search "Bonnie Tyler", and you'll see a list of her certifications along with a release date of 11 February 1983. Is this reliable enough? If so, how would we best cite this? I presume it would require adding some written instructions into the reference.
All best wishes! Skyrack95 ( talk) 17:11, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Hey, concerning your deletion on You_Spin_Me_Round_(Like_a_Record), WP:Songcover provides 2 guidelines. One refers to WP:Notability_(music)#Songs which defines when a song merits its own page (the section on Dope's cover and line on Gigi d'Agostino's cover does not meet this standard; it is only given 1 sentence in an album review). The second (which I think both meet thru their 1 sentence - maybe you disagree) is:
These criteria mean the Jessica Simpson section and sentence on the Danzel cover must be deleted or tagged for missing references. ( WP:Notability_(music)#Songs: ranking on national/significant music/sales charts "indicates only that a song may be notable, not that it is notable.") If you agree, I can hunt to see if any of the deleted or to-be-deleted covers have reviews to justify inclusion.
Also, can you discuss this on the relevant talk page section for the article so we no longer have people posting about this?
P.S. - "Album Review: Flo Rida". MTV. 3 May 2009. Retrieved 1 November 2016. is now missing from the cited MTV page

. This is really counterproductive because unspaced constructions like {{cite web|first=...
often get wrong linebreaks in the editor:...{{cite

{{cite web |first=...

23:06, 29 March 2021 (UTC)Hi, since you keep forcibly reverting my good faith edits trying to specify the genre of the remix of that track since both versions differs, am I to consider that there is absolutely no way to prove to you that the remix is a difference genre whatsoever? Please do consider that it was 2005 at the time, I perfectly well know it to be electro house because it fall under that category for all qualifications, but you for some reason insist we be 100% super duper specific and, sincerely, there's no way to prove its genre at this point. I swear to scientist ever wrote an entire article dedicated to this specific remix of this specific track (which would be ridiculous as heck) just to prove to you, good sir, that this track is an electro house remix. I know it to be true, I asked to address me directly in case of questions, apparently, all you prefer to do is to revert my edits, so... I have 0 proof at this point. Forgive me, Vinylshakerz, I know you are good guys and all, but here I can't justify your style, unfortunately. So I don't know that genre you made your music in at the time, sorry again.
