Winnermario, I would like to file a complaint against [[user:Jasonglchu]]. |
|||
Yeah, I asked him if he'd do it. He said yes, but also that he's sort of busy now, so I dont know when he'll do it though. Hmm, it seems logical to use the Canadian Singles Chart for A Moment Like This, Low, Breakway, and MI, and the official airplay chart for BTHE (since there was no commercial single). But why not use the official airplay chart for Since U Been Gone and Because of You? And if BTHE does use the airplay chart, can we edit it that to reflect that (instead of it saying the Canadian Singles Chart)? [[User:OmegaWikipedia|OmegaWikipedia]] 15:31, 24 September 2005 (UTC) |

:::"Behind These Hazel Eyes"'s peak of number four ''is'' the BDS chart peak. I made a huge error early, my true apologies. The BOY chart trajectory is unofficial—it has not charted on the Canadian Singles Chart or the BDS Chart. And the SUBG chart is MuchMusic—do you want to get the BDS chart for SUBG since it was unable to chart on the Singles Chart? And I'm not sure if there is, for BoY, that is.

Hello, |

An Arbitration case involving you has been opened: [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Eternal Equinox]]. Please add evidence to the evidence sub-page, [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Eternal Equinox/Evidence]]. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Eternal Equinox/Workshop]]. |
|||
::::No problem, yeah, I think it would be better to use BDS for SUBG. But why hasnt BOY charted on BDS though? And what exactly is this unofficial airplay chart? Who runs it? If there was a US equivelance what would it be? We should definitely establish some sort of system here for the Canadian Singles since its harder to classify them now. So would you say the Canadian Singles Chart (sales) comes first, followed by BDS Airplay if there no single, followed by MuchMusic, followed by this unofficial chart? The idea of using an "unofficial airplay" chart for BOY seems a little weird, I agree, but if there is no other chart, I guess thats it. Or should we wait till it charts on BDS?

::::Yes, from sales, to airplay, to MuchMusic. This "unofficial" chart is just something that is run in my city of [[Saskatchewan]]—we do not need to use it, but I only used it because it has yet to chart on any other chart.

:This is what happens when kids are spoiled with money and good education, without having to do any honest work, and be 'taught' by their parents to be kind, philanthropic, and humble. It's also shameful that the people who have seen these violations occur, chose to stay quiet, or even worse - take his side. Is it a lack of civil courage, or are they saving their credit points to spend in case they need them for themselves?

Thank you for uploading '''[[:Image:Hollaback Girl music video shot.jpg]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]]. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free|image copyright tag]]; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale. |

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images/media|criteria for speedy deletion]].

The "Recorded" field was present in the original single infobox that I based the new template on (and that many, many articles use), so it would be inconsistent to remove that field. If you're not sure what to insert into a field, just leave it blank with — (enter edit mode to see the code I typed for that dash to appear) for somebody else to fill in later on down the line. Also, a lot of albums nowadays include specific recording locations for different tracks in their liner notes, though not all do, so I can see where you're coming from.

=="Fixing" charts== |

Hello, I see that in [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=One_Sweet_Day&diff=25394980&oldid=24731819 this edit] ("Fixed the charts"), you have split a single table into two tables, "U.S. Billboard" and "World", and have added a column, "Single". (You also seem to have added one row.) I'm puzzled by (i) your splitting of the table into "U.S. Billboard" and "World", where "World" has no obvious meaning, and (ii) your addition of a column that results in the same cell being inserted over and over again, with no exception. The former seems merely strange, the latter strange and also a waste of bytes. Could you please explain, either here or on the article's talk page? Thanks. -- [[User:Hoary|Hoary]] 02:01, 13 October 2005 (UTC) |

== Re: Questions about [[Spice Girls]] article == |
|||
Since you peer reviewed my request, I would like to ask you a few questions. |
|||
#For a long time I have been searching for sources that claim the Spice Girls as the biggest-selling girl group in the world. Believe it or not, this search has come up unsuccessful, even on numerous fansites. |
|||
#[[Geri Halliwell]] was extremely shocked about [[Playboy magazine|Playboy]] publishing nude photographs of her. I've also found this search quite difficult, as there is no particular source that actually describes her anger—I only heard this news on the television back when the Spice Girls were, the only thing people wanted to socialize about. Is it possible for something to slide without a reference? |
|||
#Finally, I can't reword the part in the "The beginning" section. I understand what you mean by it sounding like someone was living with the five girls, but it's ''difficult'' to fix the sentence. |
|||
Could you help me with these three issues? --[[User:Winnermario|Winnermario]] 13:10, 16 October 2005 (UTC) |
|||
:1 - It sounds like the line "it is claimed that they are the biggest-selling girl group of all time" needs to be removed from the intro, since it isn't supportable from your research. Better might be a less-controversial statement like "They are among the best-selling girl-groups of all time." |
|||
:2 - Even simple attributing it to "television reports at the time" would be an improvement. So long as we're not mind-reading. |
|||
:3 - Why is it difficult, exactly? What's the source for this information? (If there isn't one, then, yes, it's very difficult to fix, and some of the section should probably be removed or edited down to a few words.) I would explicitly say "according to X," or even quote them a little bit to make it clear where the information comes from. |
|||
:Hope that helps a little. It's not a bad article; I'm just trying to point out the kind of sourcing that is expected in the best Wikipedia articles. [[User:Bunchofgrapes|Bunchofgrapes]] ([[User talk:Bunchofgrapes|talk]]) 18:21, 16 October 2005 (UTC) |

== Those charts. == |
|||
First....your sarcasm is not appreciated. |
|||
Second, in reference to [[Mariah Carey]], there is no point in mentioning positions on the rock chart. The Pop 100 chart could be seen as notible, but it was just created this year and was not on my mind when I said that. It's not a bias; it's a proposal for controlling excessive amounts of statistical information that are of little use to a common reader. Articles on songs should not have a third or more of its legnth dedicated to tables, charts, and analyses of such. --[[User:FuriousFreddy|FuriousFreddy]] 22:46, 17 October 2005 (UTC) |
|||
:My sarcasm doesn't have to be appreciated. I'll still speak my mind. |
|||
:Rock is as notable as R&B. You just appear to have a prefence in music. And unfortunately, I disagree with you. Strongly. I also disagree with you boldly. --[[User:Winnermario|Winnermario]] 22:53, 17 October 2005 (UTC) |
|||
::''In reference to Mariah Carey'', an R&B singer, rock chart positions are not neccessary. That is not a preference or a bias; you are misreading. If this were in reference to a rock band, then, yes, rock chart positions are notable. --[[User:FuriousFreddy|FuriousFreddy]] 22:57, 17 October 2005 (UTC) |
|||
:::Oh? Then explain the R&B, dance, and AC charts only? --[[User:Winnermario|Winnermario]] 23:00, 17 October 2005 (UTC) |
|||
::::R&B, dance, AC, and, of course, the main national chart (Hot 100, UK singles, etc). Those are, in reference to R&B artists like Mariah Carey, the four most frequently referenced ones in scholarly music writing (although most strip it all the way down to national chart and R&B chart, and some--especially when dealing with 1990s and 2000s artists--simply eschew the R&B chart altogether). It's simply in the interest of brevity and readability. Billboard publishes dozens of charts each week, and while a song's performance of each is verifiable fact, there has to be some filtering as far as what is included and not included in an encyclopedia article. The result is long tables with nearly a dozen chart positions for the United States alone. This depreciates the article instead of making it better, especially when the statistical information is also covered in the prose as well. See [[Wikipedia:Embedded list]]. [[Wikipedia: WikiProject Songs]] only calls for national charts. There's nothing wrong with a few additional ones, but more than about six for one country is too many. And only the main compiled charts, and not any components (Hot 100 Airplay, Hot 100 Sales,etc.) are neccessary. If a single sold well but never got any radio play, or was radio only, then the text should reflect that without the need for the includion of an extra statistic in the table. --[[User:FuriousFreddy|FuriousFreddy]] 23:10, 17 October 2005 (UTC) |
|||
:::::Where is the POV in that? The charts you would want ot site changes when talking about a hip hop artist (hot 100, nternational R&B, and rap singles) or a country artist. These are the important ones for an R&B artist. Where is the non-neutral point-of-view? --[[User:FuriousFreddy|FuriousFreddy]] 00:01, 18 October 2005 (UTC) |

:Don't give up hope yet. The objections raised won't be too tricky to remedy. [[User:Extraordinary Machine|Extraordinary Machine]] 00:22, 25 October 2005 (UTC) |

::Actually, regardless of what I think of [[User:Jgm]]'s objections, I'm concentrating my efforts on pushing another article to featured status and so wouldn't fix them anyway. That said, the point of Wikipedia isn't really to say that you have edited a featured article, but to know that you have made it better. [[User:Extraordinary Machine|Extraordinary Machine]] 00:20, 27 October 2005 (UTC) |
|||
:::Whoops, sorry :). What I meant was that the main point of editing an article is to improve it, whether it is featured, about to become featured, or not. [[User:Extraordinary Machine|Extraordinary Machine]] 00:28, 27 October 2005 (UTC) |

::::Oh, I didn't think you were only trying to get it to FA status, don't worry. [[User:Extraordinary Machine|Extraordinary Machine]] 00:31, 27 October 2005 (UTC) |
|||
:::Of course. Sorry I missed it when I first uploaded it. [[User:Extraordinary Machine|Extraordinary Machine]] 00:57, 27 October 2005 (UTC) |
|||
::Cool :). Well done. Despite our past misunderstandings, you have been very accommodating of other people's edits to the article that you originally disagreed with. This also sets a precedent for single articles across Wikipedia: now we know we've got "Cool" right, we know how to get them all right. [[User:Extraordinary Machine|Extraordinary Machine]] 23:46, 27 October 2005 (UTC) |
|||
Yes, well done Winnermario. It's a very different article from what it was when I first saw it, and now certainly deserves to be "featured". [[User:Hoary|Hoary]] 00:47, 28 October 2005 (UTC) |

:Thanks for the chart update, but I'm working on my brother's laptop at the moment (which doesn't have the original Excel file I saved), so I'm afraid the update will have to wait until tomorrow. You may consider temporarily exporting the trajectory tables back into the article until then, or adding a "(click image to view more up-to-date data in tabular form)" note in the image caption. I'm really sorry about this. [[User:Extraordinary Machine|Extraordinary Machine]] 21:35, 28 October 2005 (UTC) |
|||
::Okay, I've added that the trajectories are for North America, removed the zero (I agree, it does look very odd, I'm surprised I missed it), trimmed some of the words explaining what colour represents which chart, and updated them (thanks for telling me the new chart positions, as I never check these). [[User:Extraordinary Machine|Extraordinary Machine]] 16:36, 29 October 2005 (UTC) |
|||
::That's fine by me. I'll try to update it every Friday (Saturday at the latest). Also, I noticed [[User:Kelly Martin]]'s message below. You can request for featured articles that haven't appeared on the main page to appear, and on which date (though that's optional), at [[Wikipedia talk:Tomorrow's featured article]]. I'd suggest the 23rd of November, as it's the one-year anniversary of the release of ''Love. Angel. Music. Baby.'' in the U.S. and it's coming up soon (so you won't have to wait long), but that's just my personal opinion. [[User:Extraordinary Machine|Extraordinary Machine]] 16:42, 29 October 2005 (UTC) |

:::Whoops, I didn't notice that you'd already listed it there. Sorry. [[User:Extraordinary Machine|Extraordinary Machine]] 16:48, 29 October 2005 (UTC) |

== Bounty Board == |
|||
Greetings. You've recently been involved with working on get articles up to featured status, so I wanted to let you know about a new page, [[Wikipedia:Bounty board]]. People have put up monetary bounties for certain articles reaching featured status - if the article makes it, the bounty lister donates the stated amount of money to the Wikimedia Foundation. So you can work on making articles featured, and donate other people's money at the same time. If this sounds interesting, I hope you stop by. – [[User:Quadell|Quadell]] <sup>([[User_talk:Quadell|talk]]) ([[Wikipedia:Bounty board|bounties]])</sup> 13:51, 28 October 2005 (UTC) |

''Hello. I recently worked on an article that achieved featured article status ([[Cool (song)]]; [[Talk:Cool (song)]]), and was informed that you are aware of the dates that articles will appear on the Wikipedia front page. I was just curious to know if you know when "Cool" will be the featured article of the day? Thank you for your time. --[[User:Winnermario|Winnermario]] 21:54, 28 October 2005 (UTC)'' |

Hey! |
|||
First I want to say that your article of "Cool" is awesome! I think you are very talented writer! |
|||
Then about those pictures. |
|||
I have screenshots of that video, so I could upload that and you could then check that do you like that. |
|||
The screenshots are not the best quality, but they are pretty clear. |
|||
Unfortunately I haven't found any other pics of the video that you could use in wikipedia. |
|||
--[[User:L.a.m.b|L.a.m.b]] 10:25, 3 November 2005 (UTC) |
|||
:Yes, please upload them and I will choose which are the best! --[[User:Winnermario|Winnermario]] 21:15, 3 November 2005 (UTC) |

::Damn, that's a hot pic [[User:OmegaWikipedia|OmegaWikipedia]] 02:08, 4 November 2005 (UTC) |
|||
== Hollaback Girl images == |
|||
hey! |
|||
Sorry that it took so long... |
|||
So I uploaded 7 screenshot from the video (and I have more just in case) |
|||
I don't think that I should post the pics here cause those are quite big pictures. |
|||
You can find them under a name Image:Holla1.JPG to Image:Holla7.JPG |
|||
I put the best pics (in my opinion), I tried to get some pics from the cheerleader parts, but those are not good quality, cause the images are moving so fast on the video, the screenshot will be blurry. |
|||
I have also other screenshots from her videos (except Luxurious), so if you want/need pictures, please let me know. |
|||
If you have some problems with those images that I uploaded, let me know as well! |
|||

Hi. On a more serious note, I'd like to ask you to take it easy with [[User:Winnermario]]. That user is both very young and has recently been making some small steps towards working well with other editors. I suspect that you're not going to get any good results from the current line of conversation, and I'd suggest that it probably isn't worth getting that user further riled up. Thanks for thinking about it. [[User:Jkelly|Jkelly]] 20:36, 4 November 2005 (UTC) |
|||
: Will do - I'll keep it in mind, however I can't promise I'll just let her off the hook if she exclaims something completely unfounded or insults me personally. I'm trying to counter her exclamations with questions that would (hopefully) just make her step back and think for a moment... I don't think she would accept other people's comments as gospel if we were to issue them to her in the manner she gives them to us. I'll cool it for a bit and see how the conversation goes. -- [[User:Ericorbit|eo]] 20:48, 4 November 2005 (UTC) |
|||
::Good luck countering. I'll be ready for anything. |
|||
::And [[User:Jkelly]], age has nothing to do with this. I know someone who is forty-years-old and is a complete asshole. Sort of like yourself, just note that I'm unsure of your age. |
|||
::Why is it that the homosexuals complain the most? --[[User:Winnermario|Winnermario]] 00:41, 5 November 2005 (UTC) |
|||
:::Your comments are offensive, although I am not surpised that it comes from you. Don't worry, I'll keep it proudly displayed on my talk page for all to see how very, very cool you are. In the short amount of time I've had interaction with you, you've certainly shown how mature you are. Great job. Keep yelling, stamping your feet and holding your breath, little girl. Good luck with that English degree, isn't that just a half-step above "undeclared" anyway? -- [[User:Ericorbit|eo]] 00:50, 5 November 2005 (UTC) |
|||
::::My comments are offensive? That was the point. I'm glad to see you caught them. I will continue to yell and stamp my feet. Whatever attitude I have to use to get my point across will be the attitude I exhibit. You will lose. And thanks for wishing me luck with my degree. Seeing as how I'm going to achieve much more than you're even worth, I'll take that as a compliment from you. Adios. --[[User:Winnermario|Winnermario]] 00:58, 5 November 2005 (UTC) |
|||
:::::My dear, you have no idea what I am worth, nor what I have achieved. Your attitude is that of a spoit adolescent girl. If that's what you feel you need to do to get your way in life, then good luck with that. You're really just quite pathetic and sad. -- [[User:Ericorbit|eo]] 01:03, 5 November 2005 (UTC) |

::::::I'm about as adolescent as you are mature. And you're really just quite foolish and gay. --[[User:Winnermario|Winnermario]] 01:09, 5 November 2005 (UTC) |

Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:Hollaback Girl music video shot.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Hollaback Girl music video shot.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 16:52, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:I Should Be So Lucky.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:I Should Be So Lucky.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 04:20, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
