The Half Million Award |
For your contributions to bring List of songs recorded by the Beatles (estimated annual readership: 500,000) to Featured List status, I hereby present you the Half Million Award. Congratulations on this rare accomplishment, and thanks for all you do for Wikipedia's readers! Reidgreg ( talk) 16:34, 1 January 2020 (UTC) |
Understand you won't be able to review this lengthy article, but I'm sure you'll be glad to know that I've just nominated Ye for GA status. This means that Jesus Is King stands as West's only album to not have been nominated yet, while all the others with the exception of the newly nominated Ye have already become GA's! -- Kyle Peake ( talk) 20:12, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
You're changing a lot of articles to redirects. I suspect most Stones songs would have enough coverage to meet GNG, so I'm going to revert those edits until you discuss first. Doctorhawkes ( talk) 02:24, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi. If you're going to merge articles, like you did with the Wings tours article that I started which you merged into List of Paul McCartney concert tours, please give proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Contrary to popular belief, "contributors to Wikipedia are not asked to surrender their copyright to the material they contribute. Instead, they are required to co-license their contributions under the copyleft licenses Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC BY-SA) and GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). Both of these licenses allow reuse and modification, but reserve the right to attribution."
"Moved from that page" is not sufficient when you don't specify which page.
It doesn't really matter in this case as the text I contributed wasn't of the highest quality, and some of it I copied (with attribution) from Wings University Tour, but please bear in mind in future. I for one am very happy to donate my time to Wikipedia but I expect to get the attribution I am entitled to for my work. Thanks. -- kingboyk ( talk) 04:40, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Just as an aside, I would also love to see those classic Bowie albums from 1970 to 1980 all reach GA status, and if you need any help in writing or locating some articles, I may be able to help – when I'm in the UK I have access to the British Library, so I can look up all the original reviews and interviews in NME, Melody Maker, etc. I also have some notes I scribbled down from John Milward's original Rolling Stone review of Low from 1977... I think the online site only has the retrospective review from 2001. Richard3120 ( talk) 20:33, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
Hello:
The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article "Ziggy Stardust" has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
This is the first time I have come across an article within an article on a cover version of a song (complete with an Infobox!). I'm wondering whether you'll get some push back when the article is reviewed for GA. Perhaps it should be spun out as a stub article of its own? The information is interesting but largely irrelevant to the Bowie article, in my opinion.
Best of luck moving forward with the article.

Hello
I see you're very active on the Low album page, and I'm not sure how to correct / mark citations where the reference given doesn't contain the information claimed. It's this one: /info/en/?search=Low_(David_Bowie_album)#cite_note-32 Supposedly Visconti's son developed the "A-B-C" theme in Warszawa, but it's not in the citation. (I was suspicious when listening to the track and couldn't really hear anything like a A-B-C theme in any case).
I'm not on here much, so I don't know if I'll get a notification if you reply, but rather than dive in and just remove a reference I thought I'd run it by you first!

Hello, I am having an issue about the lead of this article as I am currently preparing it for GA-nominee status. In the release and reception section, I have mentioned the song's initial release as Tidal only but then wrote about how it was released to Apple and Spotify on March 30, 2016, though added a note about the ultimate release of TLOP to numerous retailers. However, how can I mention the initial release of the song, then the March 30 release in the lead without mentioning the final release of the album, or does the lead only make sense if I mention all three? -- K.

Understand you won't be able to review this lengthy article, but I'm sure you'll be glad to know that I've just nominated Ye for GA status. This means that Jesus Is King stands as West's only album to not have been nominated yet, while all the others with the exception of the newly nominated Ye have already become GA's! -- Kyle Peake ( talk) 20:12, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi. If you're going to merge articles, like you did with the Wings tours article that I started which you merged into List of Paul McCartney concert tours, please give proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Contrary to popular belief, "contributors to Wikipedia are not asked to surrender their copyright to the material they contribute. Instead, they are required to co-license their contributions under the copyleft licenses Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC BY-SA) and GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). Both of these licenses allow reuse and modification, but reserve the right to attribution."
"Moved from that page" is not sufficient when you don't specify which page.
It doesn't really matter in this case as the text I contributed wasn't of the highest quality, and some of it I copied (with attribution) from Wings University Tour, but please bear in mind in future. I for one am very happy to donate my time to Wikipedia but I expect to get the attribution I am entitled to for my work. Thanks. -- kingboyk ( talk) 04:40, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Just as an aside, I would also love to see those classic Bowie albums from 1970 to 1980 all reach GA status, and if you need any help in writing or locating some articles, I may be able to help – when I'm in the UK I have access to the British Library, so I can look up all the original reviews and interviews in NME, Melody Maker, etc. I also have some notes I scribbled down from John Milward's original Rolling Stone review of Low from 1977...

Hello:
The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article "Ziggy Stardust" has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
This is the first time I have come across an article within an article on a cover version of a song (complete with an Infobox!). I'm wondering whether you'll get some push back when the article is reviewed for GA. Perhaps it should be spun out as a stub article of its own? The information is interesting but largely irrelevant to the Bowie article, in my opinion.
Best of luck moving forward with the article.

Hello
I see you're very active on the Low album page, and I'm not sure how to correct / mark citations where the reference given doesn't contain the information claimed. It's this one: /info/en/?search=Low_(David_Bowie_album)#cite_note-32 Supposedly Visconti's son developed the "A-B-C" theme in Warszawa, but it's not in the citation. (I was suspicious when listening to the track and couldn't really hear anything like a A-B-C theme in any case).
I'm not on here much, so I don't know if I'll get a notification if you reply, but rather than dive in and just remove a reference I thought I'd run it by you first!

Hello, I am having an issue about the lead of this article as I am currently preparing it for GA-nominee status. In the release and reception section, I have mentioned the song's initial release as Tidal only but then wrote about how it was released to Apple and Spotify on March 30, 2016, though added a note about the ultimate release of TLOP to numerous retailers. However, how can I mention the initial release of the song, then the March 30 release in the lead without mentioning the final release of the album, or does the lead only make sense if I mention all three? -- K.
