Grammy list help

Hey Ada, can you help me find refs for this list? I'm having troubles with a few years. Novice7 (talk) 09:34, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

I've been searching for like a month for sources. The pre 1980 ones are so hard to find. I would use the Rock on the Net archive, but you know, it looks kind of unreliable... What do you think? Novice7 (talk) 10:02, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

The website makes a lot of mistakes, I know :( 1990–2011 list is complete. You can use the sources Ada. How am I gonna find sources for 1969, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1981, 1984 ones? Novice7 (talk) 10:18, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I should ask him :) Thanks! Novice7 (talk) 10:33, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Re:OMG

Love the new Bey pics! Actually, the main article is by Mr. Tecson. I contacted him through Flickr and asked for license change of four pics. I'll ask for four more, including one pic of "My Love Is Your Love" performance :) He's a nice guy. Novice7 (talk) 11:19, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Have you seen the video? Jivesh • Talk2Me 04:52, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

I have not seen it yet. I am going to watch now. I do not await fore something extraordinary because i do not think you can make an excellent video with lots of colours, people, lights etc for such a song. Jivesh • Talk2Me 05:00, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Simple video for a simple song. No need to make it seem more complex than it really is, an over the top storyline would have overpowered the song.Beyonce is just insanely gorgeous without trying. Jivesh • Talk2Me 05:28, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Grammy Awards Task Force Update

<font=3>I'd like to offer an update of the Grammy Awards task force. The task force was established 3 months ago with 26 featured lists and 8 good articles. Since then, the project has increased the number of featured lists to 39 and good articles to 10, a major accomplishment for a small task force in such a short period of time! There are currently 2 Grammy-related lists at FLC (Latin Grammy Award for Song of the Year and Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance), so be sure to offer feedback/comments if possible. Also, a Sources page has been set up to provide reliable sources for future use--this tool will be very helpful for finding references quickly. Keep up the great work, task force members! --Another Believer (Talk) 15:45, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your help with the Sources page. This will be a great reference (of references!), especially once completed and consistent. Great idea! --Another Believer _(Talk) 23:57, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

I have started to review here and have made comments about the Lead info. Will continue tomorrow. Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹ 17:03, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Words

Can you tell me how to find out the number of words an article has? — Legolas ^(talk2me) 04:11, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Ummm its not working for me, I inserted that java thing in the address bar for "Like a Prayer", doesnt lead to anywhere. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 08:07, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Ada, how do you get that info? I tried with the java thing by pasting it in the address bar of the page, and then pressed enter, but nothing happened. Am I doing some dumb shit? — Legolas ^(talk2me) 09:19, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Hey thanks, now its working! I did not bypass my browser's cache, it was not taking in the code. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 09:33, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Last bit, which one of the counts is to be used for DYK? — Legolas ^(talk2me) 09:40, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Countdown

Have a look at the article. Seems that the song has bubbled under the Hot 100. The source confirms it but it will stop showing that after on week. Can you please archive it? I tried but it is not working for me. Jivesh • Talk2Me 19:22, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Is here. As you significantly contributed to the article and solely nominated, I would like just you to carry out the changes. Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹ 21:42, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Hey, don't forget you only have 3 days left to make the changes to B'Day, which are highlighted in bold on the review page. There are only a couple of things to do. Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹ 16:57, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

There are just two points to address for the 'Releases and promotion' section and one point to address for the 'Releases and promotion - Singles' section. Once you have done these three points, the article will be passed. Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹ 15:37, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

I have put the GA code on the talk page but I don't think it has worked. lol. Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹ 22:36, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Adabow. Thanks for bringing the GA status back. --Efe (talk) 02:30, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Nah, you did the stuff to bring it to GA. If I were the nominator, it would have given me too much stress. haha. The reviewer though was amazing. --Efe (talk) 02:40, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Succession boxes for #1 singles

Hi. I disagree with your change here (although I won't revert it), per WP:SBS#Overview: "Succession boxes are template-created wiki-tables that serve as navigational aids in a wide variety of articles, mostly biographies. Placed at the bottom of their respective articles (or sections where applicable), they show..." IMHO, The #1 single succession boxes obviously belong to the "charts" section.

Sorry, I didn't know about WP:FOOTER. Thanks for the heads-up. SnapSnap 18:47, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Well well

Love your new signature :) I have a small question. If Irresistible passes, can I nominate the topic Irresistible for a GT? Novice7 (talk) 04:40, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Well, I saw your revert to WP:SONGS, and checked out the user's page and saw your new signature. So, basically, yes, I'm stalking your talk page edits lmao. Haven't seen the film yet. Will surely do if I get a chance :) And, yup, IRR, "IRR" and "ALB". There's this cover version of "His Eye Is on the Sparrow" in Irresistible. Should I develop it to GA too? I hope not, because I know nothing about it :( Novice7 (talk) 04:54, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

I'll nominate it without "HEIOTS" then and see how the reviewers react. AS lots of artists have covered the song, it can be quite difficult to expand it... Novice7 (talk) 05:01, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

2011 MTV Video Music Awards

Hey, thanks for the help with that request! It should definitely come in handy right now. Regarding the table format, though, I think that most editors who work on the VMA articles (including myself) are fine the format we have right now for them, though the table format is certainly something to be considered. Thanks for the suggestion, though! And thanks for putting in the request, too! --Andresg770 (talk) 05:51, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Imma nominate you for an Admiship (if that's possible) next year or the year after! Don't you like being an admin? :P Btw, did you listen to Kelly Rowland's new songs? Novice7 (talk) 04:47, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Aw, that made me sad :P Yeah, I'd love to see Tbhotch as an admin! Nope, Here I Am isn't out, I listened to the snippets! Awesome! Tbh, I didn't Kelly much before, but when I heard "Motivation", I became obsessed with her! Speaking about Obsessed, the plot, reception etc. are perfect. The production section could be renamed to "Development", (maybe?) and you can merge the first two subsections? Did you browse through Google News Archive, GBooks etc.? Fansite news/magazine archives?? Novice7 (talk) 04:58, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

I can't believe they didn't chart too :O The article's really good :) Novice7 (talk) 06:12, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Naah, I'm not going to :) I may nominate an article about my queen, but not Jessica (maybe her biography, someday). Novice7 (talk) 06:25, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Obsessed

Kudos on all the work you've put in on that film. I only had it on my watchlist because I helped trim up the plot from an early (ridiculously long) version and it seems prone to periodic weirdness. I've been watching your mass edits go by and am shocked to compare it to what it was way back then. Nice work. Millahnna (talk) 08:50, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Wow, thanks, that means a lot! I saw it the other week and took a liking to it (a guilty pleasure of mine now). Maybe if I had seen Fatal Attraction I would have agreed with the harsh critics... Anyway, please feel free to play around with it, and there has gotta be more background info out there. Thanks again —Andrew_stalk 08:53, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

I saw Fatal Attraction not long after it came out and while I get where the critics were coming from with this one I don't think it's all that bad, myself. To be fair though, I think that's because they had three fairly strong actors in the leads. It's amazing what my love of Idris Elba can do to make me overlook a mediocre script. :D Millahnna (talk) 09:14, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

...And mine of Beyonce (and a good catfight)! :P I think this review is on the money. —Andrew_stalk 09:16, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Yep that's perfect. I love it. I really do love all three of them. That catfight is not to be denied. I wish Ali Larter did more action stuff. She wears "grrr butt kicking face" really well. Millahnna (talk) 09:19, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
