Re: Colors

I used the colors of the Wikipedia categorys, for example, Studio Album is blue ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thriller_(album) ), greatest hits is green ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Their_Greatest_Hits_(1971%E2%80%931975) ) etc... also if they are more dark than colors of the List of Best Sellers. Where i can find the list of color codes for to post the colors more dark?Simone Jackson (talk) 15:21, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of colors will help you. — R ² 13:27, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thought

You've probably already thought about it, but once your done with HIStory, you could nominate it and it's singles for WP:GT. You could use the HIStory sculpture as the free image. Pyrrhus16 14:43, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I will do. I'm a little unsure of the topics scope though. Will Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix ans it's own singles be inside the scope of the topic? If so, what about the Ghosts film? I'm almost certain the remix album is within the scope. — R ² 14:54, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I think BOTDF, it's singles and Ghosts could also be included in the HIStory topic. If articles are allowed in more than one topic, then I could see a Michael Jackson videography GT, with all the stand-alone films/music videos; Ghosts, Thriller, Captain EO and Moonwalker. Pyrrhus16 15:26, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's also a possibility. — R ² 17:03, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unrealiable source?

Realist, La Repubblica is one of the most important newspaper in Italy and MenStyle is the most important site of fashion in Italy. They are absolutely realiable sources.Simone Jackson (talk) 13:41, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, my bad about the newspaper, that's fine. But a fashion site is not qualified to document sales of albums. — R ² 12:04, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA Sweeps invitation

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.

We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

4 minutes

The article 4 Minutes has a section where critics have compared the music video with MJ's "Thriller". Can the MJ wikiproject be used in the talk page then? --Legolas ^(talk2me) 12:29, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, no need for that, it's don't noteworthy to Michael Jackson's life. — R ² 13:04, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In which case, while I'm here (Hi, btw!) would the MJ wikiproject tag belong on the "Torture (The Jacksons song)" page? I would think so, especially because of the wax dummy controversy. CarpetCrawler^{message me} 15:58, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Currently Jackson 5/Jackson's related material falls outside the scope of WP:MJJ, odd I know...— R ² 16:24, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's quite hard for me to understand a word he is saying, is this Dance-pop by any chance? — R ² 13:05, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Both Legolas and I are pretty sure that this is Dance-pop. A lot of hints are being dropped by the user that is accidentally revealing themselves. However, we have assumed good faith. Hersfold recommended we file a SPI. I personally don't know how to do that, so I haven't even touched that. I assume Legolas will file one when he feels the time is right. CarpetCrawler^{message me} 06:37, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Probably so. I really wish there was a better way of stopping sock puppetry. One of the reasons I gave up monitoring the Lady Gaga articles. These days I just stick to her main biography. — R ² 10:30, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Any Help?

Hi there. How have you been? Haven't spoken to you in a while.

I've seen your work and have been impressed, and I was wondering, if you're not too busy, if you could give me a little hand with an article. Right now, my main issue is writing about the music/song structure/composition etc. I have all the information (fixyourmix, LATimes and The Times). I'll get back to you with a sort of rough draft, if possible, and if you can help at all, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Orane (talk) 06:57, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm good thanks. Sure, I can help any time after May 21. Real life issues at the moment. After that I'll happily chip in. I'll add it to my to do list as a priority. — R ² 12:41, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That is on hold, for now. Thank you for reminding me though. I'm sick from the flu (regular flu! lol) and I can't even think straight. Never been sick before, and now I'm bed-ridden for a week and a half (the worst part is that I'm unable to go to the gym <sigh>). I'll let you know when it's on. Thanks. Orane (talk) 03:00, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, did you hear Gaga and Rihanna's duet single "Silly Boy". Its a killer tune seriously!! Also Madonna's new song "Revolver" has leaked! She's going bak to the dance floor again! --Legolas ^(talk2me) 06:07, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Double albums in List of Best selling albums

Why it's not needed to signal the double albums in the list? Simone Jackson (talk) 20:37, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there a need? We don't signal any other form of album. — R ² 19:15, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Because the double album has got a major price that penalise its sales. For this reason the RIAA counts the double albums for double. Simone Jackson (talk) 15:02, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

US criteria for certification have nothing to do with worldwide sales. You can't compare the two. We are not here to say HIStory "only" sold 20 million because it was expensive but a Britney Spears album sold loads of copies because it was half price. It's irrelevant, that's not what the list is for. — R ² 13:11, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to respond to this last night but wasn't able to. Thank you for your response: I would have no objection to having them unblocked if they were to apologize, but there doesn't appear to any reqeuest for unblock.

ThankSpam

My RfA

Thank you for participating in my "RecFA", which passed with a final tally of 153/39/22. There were issues raised regarding my adminship that I intend to cogitate upon, but I am grateful for the very many supportive comments I received and for the efforts of certain editors (Ceoil, Noroton and Lar especially) in responding to some issues. I wish to note how humbled I was when I read Buster7's support comment, although a fair majority gave me great pleasure. I would also note those whose opposes or neutral were based in process concerns and who otherwise commented kindly in regard to my record.
I recognise that the process itself was unusual, and the format was generally considered questionable - and I accept that I was mistaken in my perception of how it would be received - but I am particularly grateful for those whose opposes and neutrals were based in perceptions of how I was not performing to the standards expected of an administrator. As much as the support I received, those comments are hopefully going to allow me to be a better contributor to the project. Thank you. Very much.

Do you think that other videos Michael Jackson has appeared in, such as "We Are the World" in 1985 and "Whatzupwitu" with Eddie Murphy in 1993 should be included? I somehow feel the page is missing something by not mentioning these at all... Ss 112 11:29, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

		All Around Amazing Barnstar
		For all of the help, kindness, and support I have received throughout our work together on No Jacket Required, I award you this barnstar. Though unfortunately the FAN will most likely not go through, it was, is, and will always be a privilege to have worked with you on the article. Without your guidance and support, I doubt the article would have looked anywhere near as good as it does now, let alone even have a chance to be a featured article. With your help and guidance, I was able to turn an article from a GA to a very close FAC, which is something that is no easy task for an article about an album. Although the article won't pass its FAN, I want to thank you for your help and support, and hope that in the future, we can fix the concerns that were left to us by the users at the FAN page, and give it another go. Thanks again. You friend, CarpetCrawler^{message me} 19:46, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Phil Collins

I agree, the article looks really bad. And I agree that it's not even GA standard now. That is the problem when the cosensus changes about what is a FA and what isn't. Every now and then I've added some sourced things, and I'm pretty sure his early and personal life is sourced well, it's just his career that needs some touching up. Of course, that is the hardest part of ANY musician article... I'll see what I can do, but I can make no guarantees. It's a pretty big article. The Genesis article was thankfully taken to a FAR a few years after it became a featured article, so the active contributors to the original FAC were able to work on it. I don't even think those people are even around anymore. It's a shame, too, because the article looks really nice in certain spots, and it has potential.

Phil Spector

I'm going to reverse your edit again. What you are doing is vandalism and it is not appreciated here at Wikipedia. It IS a likely life sentence - actuarially, it is highly unlikely that he will live to be 88. I acknowledge that you are angry that your previous revert was reverted - and with links. Now you feel hurt. Wikipedia does not need your sorts of edits. I see from your background that you are interested in music - and I have no problem with that - I mean, I wouldn't dare try to change an edit to something that has to do with music - why? - because I don't know that much about it (although I used to play trombone). While you may be familiar with music, you obviously are not familiar with the details of the Phil Spector case or you would not have made your original revert - I mean, it's well known that he is only eligible for parole at age 88 (and that it is a effectively a life sentence unless he beats the actuarial tables). I mean, all you had to do was Google the point in question - but you didn't do that - you decided to make an edit about something you are not familiar with, and then was pedantic about it not being sourced - I really didn't think twice about this since it is so well known. But by your reasoning, we should delete Spector's middle name at the top of the entry - why? - because it is not sourced. In fact, a lot of the article is not sourced. But I you like the guy and so became peevish about the sentence that got put in - that's what it looks like - if that is the case, you are not serving Wikipedia very. I see you have made tens of thousands of edits - I can only assume that you are one of these busybodies who likes to spend hours and hours and hours zooming around Wikipedia, from page to page to page, reverting edits that you don't like or don't understand. I don't do that - I make very few edits - I won't make an edit on a topic that I do not understand the underlying subject matter. Wikipedia would be better served if everybody followed this etiquette. I am willing to allow your edit if you can show how he has a actuarial likelihood of living to his parole date.

It's also an impermissible synthesis of sources, and I have advised the IP editor of this. Rodhull andemu 15:37, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unless there is notable third party coverage it cannot go in the article. If the mainstream press are not discussing it then it lacks notability and can't go in the article. — R ² 02:48, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kylie Minogue

I agree with you - it's in need of an overhaul, and I think it's fallen victim to a lot of recentism. I've noticed that all the quotes have been italicized recently, and that's not right. I'll have a look at it. It has a "too long" tag on it, and I think that's probably a fair call too. I hope you don't mind if I come back to you for second opinions if I start to attack it. I know Kylie's probably not your thing, like you said you watch it for vandalism, but it's always helpful to have someone impartial to give an opinion. Thanks for drawing my attention to it.
