User talk:Candyo32/Archive 3RideI agree... at the very least Ride should not be nominated until another single is released. Hmmmm.. I'm unsource. I would like to call it electro-hop but without a source its WP:OR. we should leave synthpop because the synth thing is sourced. I once tried to put [[Synthpop|synth]] as a genre but it was removed. Im sure the song has hip hop elements due to Ludacris' verses no? Plus on iTunes it says the song was released April 19 in Europe. There was a discussion about this before and we are aware that iTunes dates are often wrong. e.g. it says the song was released April 26 in the US (which is a monday) when we both know songs are 99.9% of the time released on tuesdays in the US.

Your GA nomination of Massive Attack (song)The article Massive Attack (song) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are many changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within one week, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. TbhotchTalk C. 20:56, 7 July 2010 (UTC) HeyHey Candyo32, how are you? Sorry the Transform Ya review has been active for so long, got really busy. Anyways the chart performance needs expansion, this paragraph in particular ; It reached five on the Flanders and Wallonia Belgian Tip Charts.[18] The song charted within the top ten in New Zealand, number thirty in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, and in the lower positions of the Dutch Top 40.[19] "I Can Transform Ya"'s charting in European marks propelled it to debut and peak at seventy-six on the European Hot 100.[20] The song was certified Platinum in New Zealand by the RIANZ and Gold in Australia by the ARIA. It reads as if your just summarizing the charts section, its needs expansion =). By the way i really like your new user page layout. (CK)Lakeshade✽talk2me 21:12, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
Teach Me How to DougieThanks for the kind words, which you left on my talk page after I left you a Barnstar. All kinds of respect goin around lol! :) I did a little mild editing earlier today (before the Barnstar) and tonight I added a photo of the albums cover using all of the relevant licensing and fair use protocols. The photos page can be viewed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CaliSwagTMHTDSingleCover.jpg If you've seen my page you'll know I have quite a bit of experience uploading photos so it should be good. I also noticed your fingerprints all over Justin Bieber's articles. They look great! I did a couple of small edits to justin Bieber several days ago. Mostly sentence structure stuff. Nice to know there are so many tireless and dedicated editors out there, like yourself. Again, great job! Michaelh2001 (talk) 05:31, 9 July 2010 (UTC) VandalWhile I always attempt to assume good faith, a recent edit to TMHTD by an unregistered user used "blanking" to remove the entire chart section on the page. Again, I try to AGF, but in my experience blanking is rarely done with good intentions unless done by an established editor or otherwise explained in the edit summary. I reverted the vandalism and left a warning on the unregistered editors talk page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:98.19.196.222 AlaskaMike (talk) 00:12, 27 August 2010 (UTC) Help{{helpme}} Is there anyway I can get a past version of a deleted page so I can work on it in a sandbox?

In a perfect worldYes i think that's an excellent idea. The majority of the Kelly stuff is done. The three singles are in good shape as is the album so its just a case of keeping up standards. I've compared the discog to other ones that are FA/GA and its not far of hopefully. As for Keri's album I'll help whenever I can. You're right it will be something to chip away at. I love how everyone's adopting the new layout and skin. I like your colour scheme. Its very funky. I went for the sort of formal fade into the background look.

Massive Attack (things the GA missed)Hello some errors were made with the GA review. Eg:
Some of them are easy mistakes to miss. Also the infobox is missing WP:ALT text and airplay should not be listed in the infobox as a release format per the discussion that was used for "Woohoo". It is accepted that in the US singles are made available through airplay but it is discredited as a release format (which are strickly, CD, vinyl, download etc.) Also its not Nicki's single chronology as "Woohoo" is a song she's featured on not a song of hers (just like you've correctly put its not Garrett's chronology). *sorry* to bring this up. But they are issues that should be resolved on what is otherwise a very good article. I know you've already worked very hard on it. Regards, --Lil-unique1 (talk) 04:08, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
UpdateHi Candy. Hope your ok. I've done all the corrections above bar... the WP:ALT text. The is the Alt field in the infobox and is something that I've left for you to do as its something you have missing on a few of your GAs. Its very simple. It just requires you to describe what's happening in the cover e.g. "in the background stands a woman". etc. Its purpose if for visual browsing i.e. those with disabilities who use an audio or visual internet browser which displays text instead of images or those who have their browser read visual descriptions. --Lil-unique1 (talk) 19:42, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

You and I are pretty much the main "Cali Swag Wikipedians", so if there is anything I can do to help you, please don't hesitate to ask. I feel there might be some very minor fan-pov issues on TMHTD, although they certainly do not rise to the level of adding the fan-pov template.

use of WP:RSJust to call your attention to a section of WP:RS you don't seem to be aware of (given your objection to citing Youtube's own statement on Twitter): Self-published or questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves... I would also direct you to WP:COMMON: Wikipedia has many rules. Instead of following every rule, it is acceptable to use common sense as you go about editing. Being too wrapped up in rules can cause loss of perspective, so there are times when it is better to ignore a rule. Even if a contribution "violates" the precise wording of a rule, it might still be a good contribution... Does it make sense for you to approve of a secondary source as reliable when the only support that secondary source has for its claim of fact is something that you had just rejected as unreliable because it appeared on Twitter? The point here being that there is more than enough inaccurate material on Wikipedia in need of deletion that material which no reasonable person disputes re accuracy does not make sense as a top priority for deletion. Wikipedia's object is to achieve the high level of footnoting found in high quality publications but that goes to quality, not just quantity, of footnotes. No respectable work footnotes every sentence.Bdell555 (talk) 06:44, 16 July 2010 (UTC) I might add that you could consider applying some reliable source standards to yourself before demanding them of others.

Re: Hello
Hi Candy... I know its been a very long time. I'm ok thank you. I have quite a while till University begins again so I'm trying to power my way through the mountain of stuff I have lined up to do on here before things get busy again. What bout you? Yeah no problem I'll take a look at them now for you. I've noticed a few things on Cici discog so I've pointed them out. I was so relieved that she's performing at the VMAs. Makes it all worthwhile lol. Don't get me started on Kelly... I'm mega upset after all the major league stanning I've been doing! Hmm... IMO I don't think the coverage of the info in Woohoo will ever be enough for GA... depends if more info could be found. I believe (and I was told) that Kelly will be dropping her album in January 2010 in the US whilst it is set for November 22, 2010 in the UK (aparently). Don't quote me LOL -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 22:26, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

- It's cool. I just didn't know if a song not in the top ten or not a "classic" merited its own article. I'm getting pretty roasted so, I don't think you need to worry. As for getting someone else to review the article, I'm just trying to help out with the GA backlog so it's fine if you want someone else to do the job.--Atlantictire (talk) 06:26, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

- Actually, before I do that let's talk about this on the GA page. I'll go into my reasons for editing the lead there.--Atlantictire (talk) 20:59, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
- I understand. Occupationally, I've been pretty (though not totally!) desensitized to downright brutal editing processes. But it's never personal, and it helps if you're smart (which you clearly are).

- Hey. Whatchadoin to my talk page?
- Look it’s fine. So much of the GA music thread is 17 year olds writing for other 17 years olds. I guess that's not hurting anyone. The fact that you spend so much time here and are socially invested in it is actually really cool. How else would all those vandalism edits get reversed and all that covert advertising deleted?
- I’m just here because I’d like wikipedia to be as useful for certain subjects as it is for others. Purely for the info and ideas. That’s it.

Reply: succession boxes
I hope you will provide comments on your thoughts regarding the use of succession boxes on articles for songs and albums simply because they went to #1 on a music chart. I have been editing the articles because that is the best way to build consensus. It is also best way to determine who may be in favor of keeping them, because the discussion so far at WT:CHARTS#Succession boxes is generally opposed to them. If my removal of the boxes was reverted, I have invited the user who reverted the change to that same discussion. I think only one person has provided comments after reverting my change, which I infer that those who have not as being indifferent to their use but want something explicitly stated. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 17:13, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
"Whip My Hair" Song Accreditation
Although Willow Smith is a superstar in the makings, for clarification purposes she did not write the song, "Whip My Hair." Jukebox wrote the lyrics and produced the track long before he began working with Ms. Smith on the project. Also, Ronald Jackson and Jukebox are the same person. I would like to ask kindly that you please do not revert the revision I have made because the original statement is false. Thank you. :) APress278 (talk) 20:21, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
- Can you come up with a verifiable reference that supports the change. If so, then please add it to the article. If not, then your edit is at risk of being reverted. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 21:06, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Singles are preferred not to be split up or in bullets.

Chart performance of Woohoo
If billboard.com were returning a dead link, it would be easier to accept the claim about "Woohoo" charting. However, http://www.billboard.com/#/song/christina-aguilera-featuring-nicki-minaj/woohoo/20141057 contains the text "This Song has never charted." Based on that, the page does not support the claim of the song charting in the US—or in Canada, for that matter. —C.Fred (talk) 14:41, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Ah! Billboard has multiple pages for the song. After a little digging, http://www.billboard.com/#/song/christina-aguilera-featuring-nicki-minaj/woohoo/19941681 supports the single week on the charts in June but not the re-entry. I've put the chart appearances back in. —C.Fred (talk) 14:47, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Twinkle Help
{{helpme}} I've just initiated Twinkle, and I am having problems in which everytime I try to make an edit, "Reverting page: couldn't grab element "editform", aborting, this could indicate failed response from the server." appears. Any solutions? Candyo32 21:48, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
- Are you using one of the compatible browsers?
- It is currently working for me, although I know that in the past few days, there have been problems with Twinkle, caused by trouble with it accessing the API I believe. However, as I say, it works for me just now. I suggest, firstly, turn everything off and back on again - a cliché, I know, but it works so often.
- If, after that, it still fails - please report it on Wikipedia talk:Twinkle/Bugs. Cheers, Chzz ► 22:55, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
- I just asked around a bit, and heard that at least one other person is having trouble - so, it seems like it is not just you. See Wikipedia_talk:Twinkle#Not_loading.
- Maybe you'd like to talk to us live, with this. Chzz ► 23:11, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
- Apparently, it is due to this. Chzz ► 23:29, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
- As of right now, the 'action = parse' thingy is disabled in English Wikipedia. So, that seems to be what is causing the problems with Twinkle - and lots of other stuff. And I'm sure lots of people are complaining loudly, so hopefully it'll be fixed soon. Chzz ► 23:33, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
- " RESOLVED FIXED " means that specific bug, at that time, was fixed - I think it was reenabled on Commons. However, as of right now, the topic in the tech help channel says Example text - and by hunting around and asking around a bit, I found the connection to that bug. So, what I suspect is, the problem is actually ongoing, as of now. I've not been able to get any further info at this time - ie who is looking at it, if it is likely to be fixed in the near future, or anything. The server logs aren't saying much, and no devs have told me; I'll keep you posted. Unfortunately, the dev team are not always the best at keeping us informed. Chzz ► 23:51, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Well, I'm sorry, but at this stage I have not been able to find out any more - other than it still being noted in the IRC topic in #wikimedia-tech. Possibly, by the time you read this, it will be working. If not, I suggest looking to see if there is anything on WP:VPT about 'API' or 'parse' and if not, starting a new section to try to get answers. Sorry I can't be more definitive; feel free to give me another shout. Chzz ► 05:35, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
- I just spoke to Tim Starling and apparently, that note shouldn't have been in the topic; it's just been changed now. That problem was resolved yesterday - therefore it is probably unrelated to your troubles.
- So - if it still does not work, please log it to Wikipedia talk:Twinkle/Bugs. Cheers, Chzz ► 06:08, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
Did I just experience an epiphany...
Hey there. I am still confused about the difference between a 'promo single' and a "REGULAR" single (if a regular single even exists in US anymore)...Well, I came across The State vs. Radric Davis. It is really just this simple? In US ALL singles before an album is released are 'Promo Singles' and those after are 'Radio singles' (in almost all cases)? Am I finally understanding all this? lol.—Iknow23 (talk) 22:56, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
But of course 'Radio singles' (or any other kind of single) also promote the parent album. Btw, what other kinds of singles are there (if any)?—Iknow23 (talk) 23:01, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello
Hi candy how are things today? I've been meaning to start the review for "Return the Favor" but haven't really had the time, is that ok? I can't believe Kelly's tumbled off the charts.. she should seriously be performing the hell out of her singles in the US trying to get something to chart at least. Its a right mess... a quick check of iTunes/7 Digital revealed she had released all four of her singles around the world and yet RCG and GW refuse to chart. BASTA! -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 01:32, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
- Yup agreed. Although HMV seem convinced that Rowland's third album will be titled Kelly Rowland and is due on November 29, 2010. Take a look at this. It looks so official because it even has a promo video from Island records (watch the video). What do you think? I'm really sorry for all three ladies... they look to have their projects pushed into 2010. with Susan Boyle, Willow Smith, Leona Lewis (assuming she releases something from Echo: Tour Edition), Alexandra Burke, JLS, Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez all due singles in the next couple of months its gonna be serious wig snatching and bitch-biting. Its gonna be tough for anyone. I get the distinct feeling that Ciara will be next to announce her hold up .... *sighs* so much disappointment eh? -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 02:01, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
- I've emailed both HMV and Island records to ask if the Kelly R thing is true. I don't know if there's any defence left for Ciara. In other news related, a tiny peak of Jlo's clip for "Take Care" (buzz single) was shown when she was unvieled as a judge on Idol and it appears that "take care" is actually "Good Hit" (a song that leaked earlier). Latest has it that it will be released now while a new single will be released in February and come with JLo performing it live on Idol's first live show. Also I've been informed from the buzz on Alexandra forums that Nicki Minaj will feature on the version of "Bad Boys" which will be serviced in the US ... now that I would like to hear... -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 02:15, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
- I've left a comment because it does seem overly harsh. I'm cautious because I dont want to get into an argument with Courcelles but it does appear to be disproportionately harsh. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 20:38, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

- just to remind you the GA review is complete and it is on hold. There are minor changes to make... -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 20:08, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
- OH its ok... I didn't want to rush you I just thought you might have forgot lol! Do a little a day... and it'll get done. I've broken it into sections for you. Yes I agree... our time does seem to be taken up with reversions/vandals these day *sigh*. I hate to like Rihanna but some of her songs are darn catchy. The Minaj hook-up sounds major!!! OMG yes "Shut 'Em Up" is fucking hot! I'm so disappointed with Cici's music its so hit and miss but yeah she's gonna bulldoze Keri I think. I hate to say it but Keri could struggle to shift 25k the way she's going but saying that Cici might struggle to top 50k... As shown by Shontelle... a hot single doesn't always translate into album sales ("Impossible" = no. 13, No Gravity sells 7k!) -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 21:27, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
- Haha true... but the music market was a different place in 2006. People are less willing to buy music. Yes but at least Ciara has one successful single behind her album release yet Keri doesn't really have a strong single behind her album. "Pretty Girl Rocks" won't really make any major chart moves. I dont know anymore... for both artists their international sales will be shocking. Neither has done any international promo. *sighs* I pray that Ciara leaves Jive/LaFace after this album... she needs a new label who will handle her project properly. How come Usher, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake can all release projects with the Jive/RCA Label Group without ANY hitches... yet ciara can't? -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 21:59, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
- Maybe is a smart move afterall then? Yeah I follow Ne-Yo. I actually really like his music but I feel like I was one of the 'only' people who liked "BM". It's like "Closer 2.0". I think he deliberately went for a new sound cus he knew Usher and Trey would slay him. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 23:06, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Not a good move to release "Haters" (where did you see it?) I would have released "RCG" in the UK because its too good a song to waste. But hey I'm not in charge lol.

Invitation to comment: Formatting changes to WP:DISCOGSTYLE.
Hello, Candy. I know you've seen some of what's been bubbling up over at the discogs/style page, but you weren't really encouraged to provide your input when you visited, and I'd like to remedy that before some noticeable changes get made all across WP. Do you have the time?
Quick summary: Over at the Talk page for WP:WikiProject Discographies/style, there's been quite a bit of (at times tedious and technical) discussion about the formatting of discographies. Although WikiProject Discographies/style hopes to be part of the Manual of Style some day, it does not, currently, conform to WP:ACCESS, itself a part of the MoS. This is a problem because articles which conform to the WikiProject Discographies/style ought not be acceptable for promotion to FA or FL status, since they don't conform to the MoS.
After much discussion at Accessibility issues, followed by what was meant to be a conclusion at Time to update, we would be ready to actively address the problem, with discographies eventually being reformatted to appear as currently shown here (already changed from its earlier form). Column order and formatting would be noticeably changed, chart headings would typically be bigger, a few other differences in the coding would be made.
The only hold-up (as far as we know) is lack of wider consensus; I think too few people have participated and I'd like to see more editors register their opinion (be it support or criticism) before we move ahead with a rather significant change. (At the very least, you may consider this fair warning.) Your comment is welcome at Are we ready to apply this updated guideline?. Thanks. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 20:56, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

"Burning idiot"
First, I do not appreciate being referred to as a "burning idiot". Second, WP:NFCC says that we need to have "minimal use" of non-free material, which includes images from videos. Normally, one image is tolerated. Taking two images and jamming them together into one file doesn't make it one image: it's still two images. Don't restore this file to the article. If you want to produce a file with a single image, I wouldn't remove that.—Kww(talk) 19:18, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
- Although i hate NFCC more then i hate spiders (>___<) Kww is more or less right, NFCC states "Multiple items of non-free content are not used if one item can convey equivalent significant information." meaning you can use two if they both increase readers knowledge, unfortunately only the top image does, if you want to use two images there are so many better images available from the video such as the comparisons to Gaga, i would personally use the flaming beds or something.

There's no consensus I'm aware of that permits double screen-captures in articles. I remove them whenever I see them.—Kww(talk) 23:13, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
- WP:NFCC is policy, and it says as quoted above. What significant information does your double image convey that a single would not?—Kww(talk) 23:22, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
- That explanation doesn't really even justify one image, much less two. I'll take it to WT:NFCC if you want to get more opinions.—Kww(talk) 23:31, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
WT:NFCC#Opinion on image removal.—Kww(talk) 23:51, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
- Indeed. I've deleted the composite image as WP:CSD#F7, and frankly editors that violate WP:NFCC with such inappropriate edit summaries should be warned that they risk being blocked. Black Kite (t) (c) 00:18, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I am currently busy and cannot do it, but can someone remove all the "US Digital" colums on Jonas Brothers discography, as they are not allowed in charts sections or discographies on music articles per WP:USCHART? Thanks in advance. Candyo32 00:14, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
- I'm busy too and cannot do it, when you have time you can go ahead and do it. But for now,
i'm closing out the {{helpme}} template because this has been spamming up the IRC channel.Or perhaps placing a note on the article's talk page and someone will handle it. - Dwayne was here! ♫ 02:03, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
- (Aside: 'Spamming the IRC channel'? A user asking for help? No, absolutely not.)
- I did it; see this edit.
- I'm not sure if it is a good idea or not; I just did the edit to help out. If anyone objects, I'm sure they will reinstate them. Remember MOS is just a guide, so if discussion is required, use Talk:Jonas Brothers discography.
- Incidentally, it only took me about 1 minute to make the edit; it's best if you do these things yourself, so others can see who decided. But anyway, it's done. Cheers, Chzz ► 02:10, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
Done
- Sorry, i didn't mean it like that. I was actually trying to work on it also. But Chzz beat me to it. If there is anything else you may need, leave a note on my talk page. Cheers, - Dwayne was here! ♫ 02:21, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Jessica Jarrell
Hello Candyo32.
Regarding Jessica Jarrell, now located at User:Candyo32/Jessica Jarrell, about which you said at Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2010_May_4 "new information has come up as I found out the article met WP:MUSICBIO's #1 & #11.".
The article has now been live in your userspace for too long. Does it meet WP:MUSICBIO? If yes, it should be moved to mainspace. If no, it should be kept in blank form. See Wikipedia:User_pages#Pages_that_look_like_articles.2C_copy_pages.2C_project_pages. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:27, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Candy,
- Thanks for replying. There are no time limits, but the community frowns upon keeping userspace drafts live, especially where there is a possibility of promotion being involved. Userspace is indeed for testing and building up articles, but it is a problem that your userspace draft is a top hit when doing a google search. I suggest that you should keep the page blank while not actively editing. It is very easy to blank and unblank your own pages. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:38, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
Proposition/Hi there
Hi there Candy, so I haven't worked with you yet, but I hope we get to know each other! So heres why I found and came to you. As you know the backlog at the GAC page is long, and we have articles that are desperately needing reviews. So I would like to propose something, so that we ca both get help fast. I have an article (Music Box) that has been sitting there for like 2 months and you have articles there well over a month. So heres what I came up with, I would like to do a trade off. Can you review my nomination and I'll do the same for you? Now since my article is an album page, and is considerably longer, I'll do two of your songs. How does that sound? Two songs for an album? Tell me what you think, this way we both help each other out and get things done! Thanks again! --CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 06:44, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
- Hey. So yeah no problem! I thought it was a good way to get our stuff reviewed lol. Yup, my main goal here on Wikipedia is and has always been Mariah. I have brought "Merry Christmas" to GA, "Number 1's" is in the FA procedure and has supports. "Butterfly" will go for FA once "Ones" is done. Then I have "Music Box" which will hopefully be GA soon, ad "Mariah Carey" which is almost there :). Soon will go onto her singles as well. Yes definitely, "Memoirs" looks really good, except it needs a Thorough copy-edit and cleanup, other than that and some more relibale sources, it looks good, and "Obsessed" will easily be ready :D. SO yes, I am for the deal 100%. I will begin one of them tomorrow --CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 01:15, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
Amateur control
I am seeing a lot of amateur/fan users editing Usher album articles Confessions (Usher album) and Raymond v. Raymond, adding puffery and excessive content concerning commercial/sales statistics, particulary about the albums' singles. As there are multiple users like this, I am asking for some help as my reverts and edit summaries citing WP guidelines about leads is no help for their unexplained revisions. Dan56 (talk) 19:57, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
- Can u revert the edits to both the articles to my revisions? Or atleast partial revert, as u can see with the article history page, some information was slanted/removed (WP:NPOV), including reception info for Raymond v. Raymond and background on the release for Confession. I just dont want to violate any 3revert rule or anything like that. Dan56 (talk) 22:29, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi there Candy, I left some comments for you :). I'll take a look at the GA and your FLC in a sec! Additionally, I'm getting ready to begin reviewing "OMG", the second article you requested. When will you begin "Music Box"? Please take a look at th other stuff I mentioned. Thanks --CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 00:05, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
- Hey. Don't worry, I'm patient :). Also, on a side note, can you check back at the Mariah Carey albums discography FLC? I left you comments, and I was hoping for your final viewpoint :D. I will also be paying your FLC a visit later. I hope we can finally clear both of ours! They have both been sitting there like 5-6 weeks! :S--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 03:28, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Candy, so I switched the US R&B for Switzerland, and made them all 3 letter abbreviations where applicable. I believe that completes all the issues you outlined. Can you check back at the FLC and either support, oppose or be neutral? Thanks :)--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 00:03, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Helpp
{{helpme}} Could an admin move Gimmie Dat to Gimme Dat (Ciara song), as is the first stated is spelled wrong. Candyo32 02:41, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think that's what is needed. No need to move it. I've changed Gimme Dat (Ciara song) to redirect to Gimmie Dat, and I'll check for links; that should be fine. No need to have the brackets on the page title. Chzz ► 03:02, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- I think you misunderstood. The correct spelling is "Gimme Dat" not the current page, "Gimmie Dat", which is why I requested the move to "Gimme Dat (Ciara song)." Candyo32 03:13, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- It's like that on the single cover. If you look at all the references, and click the ones to the iTunes Store, Candy, you can see it. I don't know why they did that, as I have never seen "give me" colloquially spelled "gimmie", but that seems to be the way it is... :S Yves (talk) 03:17, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- Oops! You're right. I didn't even check those, I just knew previous reviews and everything else had said "Gimme" and also thinking of Gimme More. Lol. Thanks for the heads up! Candyo32 03:21, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

I suggest you address or, at least, reply to Courcelle's outstanding comments at this FLC. While you have some support, neither me nor Dabomb87 are happy to close nominations which have outstanding actionable issues. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:23, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi Candyo32, I noticed your revert of Already Done It's revamp of the page. I reverted back to that user's version, as those are the new standards of the discography WikiProject, because - even though there's an FLC currently going on - that will just have to be changed anyway. No point in sticking with old problems when the guidelines have been updated. Let me know if you'd like to discuss this further and I'll gladly take it to the talk page.

Well I have it also for a song I/m working on, but I don't read music and don't know what to do. Did you write those sections? If you did can you add this info from this musicnotes source and write a "Composition" section for "One Sweet Day"? Or please tell me who can.

Cali Swag photos
I attended a Cali Swag District concert last night/this morning and got some photos. I put two of them on the CSD page, but another user already tried to delete one of them. "Page too small for photos in the text"? WTF is that? LOL. Anyway, I always thought the page needed some photos and I was glad to finally be able to see them and get pics of them. They didn't go on stage until almost 1am but when they did it was well worth the wait! AlaskaMike (talk) 17:56, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello
Hi sorry for not replying. I've just started year 2 of my bachelor degree and its been mega manic. Omg I love "Turn It Up" why the h*ll was it not released? Seriously Jive have no idea what they're doing with this project. Do they seriously think an artist can crack US charts without airplay support or promo? tut-tut. Well according to the info I've been adding to "Gimmie That" its a double A-side release internationally. Speechless has been released in very few countries by itself.

Just watch for vandalism and stupid edits basically. The only three that may give you trouble is Cannibal, Animal and We R Who We R, i can gauruntee people are going to add Sleazy and another cover and try to change the tracklisting on Animal and Cannibal, just revert it if they do basically.

Tanner Stransky James Montgomery Los Angeles Australia New Zealand Sweden Japan Slovakia Netherlands United Kingdom electropop Ester Dean Europe
and Polow Da Don.
Candy, nice to meet you. I would like to ask you if you don't mind. Do all of these (above) wikilinked names tell anything to you? Are they common names and terms? Are you aware of what you did?
You undid them all.
And your comment you made towards me was rather offensive too, thinking with, that you reverted all my (wikilinking) edits. I do not appreciate that.
You said this to me:
- Hi, I have noticed that you are going through several pages and linking almost everything that has an article. Per WP:LINK, only uncommon terms need to be linked in Wikipedia articles. For example, for a Christina Aguilera music article, you already know she is a pop singer and what a pop singer is. Therefore the term does not need to be linked. Please study WP:LINK. Thanks!! Candyo32 7:11 pm, Today (UTC−2)
Yes, I might know that she is a pop singer and what pop singer is. What about if someone else doesn't know? I could make the same argument with electropop for instance and what about Ester Dean? I have never heard of her. And I'm sure millions of people around the globe have never heard of her neither. Polow Da Don, Tanner Stransky, James Montgomery? You unlinked them all. It's not nice to these people because there are articles about them and they all are relevant. That's why their names were mentioned and that's why I wikilinked them which you undid.:-)
Another few examples:
According to you, we should not wikilink them at all. Everybody who has an interest in Jazz, Latin and classical music knows who he is and what he plays.
Is it?
- What about world-famous Carla Bley?
- Carla Bley, née Borg, (born May 11, 1936) is an American jazz composer, pianist, organist and band leader. An important figure in the Free Jazz movement...
- Jazz idol Dexter Gordon?
- Miles Davis?
- Miles Dewey Davis III (May 26, 1926 – September 28, 1991) was an American trumpeter, bandleader, and composer.....Miles Davis was, with his musical groups, at the forefront of several major developments in jazz music, including bebop, cool jazz, hard bop, modal jazz, and jazz fusion.
What do you think? According to you, none of those should be linked. Everybody knows them.:-) Go to these artists' articles and unlink them all and see what happens.:-)
Please revert yourself and put my edits back. If you like we can discuss this matter at a proper place such as Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents or we could first ask a senior Wikipedian for a third opinion. You could even ask me before you made these three reverts.
One more thing though. At Wikipedia it's nice and widely accepted to say please see WP:LINK, but not please study WP:LINK. It's better isn't it?:-)
Please be kind and revert yourself, I'll appreciate that. Cheers. Fusion is the future (talk) 00:59, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
- Candy, you kept your promise. I do really appreciate that. You have a solid common sense as you are very honest an sincere too. Thanks again. Fusion is the future (talk) 14:51, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Hey Candyo32. The FLC is becoming a bit of a battleground for FLC vs MOS vs ACCESS. It's radical, but I'd suggest you withdraw this nomination until the overriding issues are resolved. As you can see, some of the ACCESS guidelines have been a bit scattered recently. It's entirely your call but right now, the FLC is being used for something inappropriate (in my mind).
