Thanks for your hard work on the 65th Grammy Awards page. I could see that you edited in real time, keeping the article up to date as it went along. My roommate and I watched from Alaska, and we enjoyed it. Your efforts prevented a lot of “heavy lifting” from being needed after the program. Well done!

Hi there! You seemed to have rollbacked my edit on the article Hansie, where I removed a paragraph that was copied word-for-word from the film's plot summary page at IMDB by an IP user over 10 years ago. I also decided to remove the line after it, as it was unsourced and was not entirely related to the film. If I made a mistake, do let me know. Thanks!

Hi nice to meet you I was trying to expand that page and it is necessary to create a separate article for each song, mainly considering that they were also released as separate singles. Would you help me to change the name of the article? I would need it to be called just Keepin' the Faith Thank you in advance for your attention Nohayunolibre ( talk) 17:39, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi, could I possibly ask you to take a look at my new article, Eddy Giles? I have made some clean-up and included some new facts. I have found two articles in the Shreveport Times (from 2015 and 2023); Giles has his own heading in Joel Whitburn's book (noted Billboard historian). Do you think, the article deserves keeping it or deletion? It has been tagged. Without doubt author Whitburn and the Shreveport Times are reliable sources (the article does not include content from blogs, forums, social media). I always fear of conflict of interests. I have written the article, so I'm not sure if it's fair for me to remove the tag. My goal is to write articles on obscure musicaians. Articles I have created are Jesse Anderson (musician), John Kilzer, Freddie Hughes, among others. Not every musician was lucky enough to be as famous as Olivia Newton-John or David Bowie, but had their impact though. Please find some time and take a closer look at it.

Thank you for quality articles such as Woodstock 50 and Phish, for starting WHJJ (2006), Glassnote Records (2010) and 4Ever (album) (2016), for bringing musicians to the news as today Gordon Lightfoot, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Doc Strange decided to delete my addition of Kate Bush's biggest achievement in the opening paragraph of her discography, the recharting of "Running Up That Hill" which hit #1 around the world. He restored the opening paragraph to just a simple recitation of how many records and albums she released. I'm not sure why.
Doc Strange is listed as a "Dead Head." A check of the Grateful Dead's discography has five fairly long opening paragraphs. Would we say Annie Lennox is Kate Bush's contemporary? Her discography has two opening paragraphs. How about Dusty Springfield? Six sentences long. Wouldn't re-charting with a #1 hit 37 years later be something you'd want to see in the opening paragraph, a significant discography achievement?
I'm also taken aback that my contribution was deleted within 13 minutes of posting it. That doesn't leave much time for deliberation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gregg - nh153 ( talk • contribs)

What are the criteria for the info being sourced or not (It wasn't me who added that info back), but some other achievements aren't sourced either?
Like the "Artists with the most cumulative weeks at number one". One has to add them up in their heads... Billboard only lists the amount of weeks spent at #1 by a certain song, not the overall artist numbers.
In the same way, one has to add the weeks manually/in their heads to know the total weeks at #1 from "x" album. So, what's the difference? 2A01:11:320:1340:989D:410C:53CE:1EB8 ( talk) 00:18, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
And then "Fifteen songs released on an independent record label have reached number one on the chart" doesn't have a single source...
@ 2A01:11:320:1340:989D:410C:53CE:1EB8: Without a source, that could be removed from the article as original research. That's why I assume that a fact about Korn that has been commented out in that section for lack of a reference. It's always best to provide a source. The independent section also might need to be altered, since it does not have a source. There is one for the first three - "Come Out and Play", "What It's Like", and "Panic Switch" here: https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/chart-beat-lady-gaga-kenny-chesney-silversun-pickups-26835. But none of the rest of them. Doc Strange Mailbox Logbook 00:58, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
Listing the Grammy Award "year ceremony airs" as the year of the award is wrong. I know you know this. If we don't feel like going thru all the trouble of correcting the page, then each listing should say "won Grammy for Album, single, whatever" of the year without mentioning the (wrong} year at all.

Hi and thanks for adding some good material and references there. You left an error in the referencing though; I'm assuming that there was only one "Aswad" source? If so, I think I have fixed it. If not, could you take another look please? 84.66.42.64 ( talk) 19:02, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
