Hello!

Hi AB. I have been working on the list for Latin Jazz. I want to create articles for the albums that received the award, I think that would be more helpful. I am also currently nominated for another FL with the one I did for the Latin Grammys using your template. Cheers! Jaespinoza (talk) 21:53, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Do you want me to work on Juntos Para Siempre? I already did the disambiguation page for the article title. The album also won a Latin Grammy. Jaespinoza (talk) 20:22, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Go ahead! Thanks! --Another Believer (Talk) 21:27, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Done. Jaespinoza (talk) 23:06, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Let's do it. I am happy to accept you help, please add your name as co-nominator for the Latin list, and let's keep up the good work. Thanks. Jaespinoza (talk) 21:25, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello. I added refs for the Latin Jazz list. Check them out. I think that list is ready to go. Once again, thanks for jumpin' in on the other list. Jaespinoza (talk) 07:09, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
Thanks! Looks good! --Another Believer (Talk) 16:31, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Grammy Award for Best Disco Recording

The article Grammy Award for Best Disco Recording you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Grammy Award for Best Disco Recording for things which need to be addressed.

Super Bowl episode

Hey, thanks for starting the article! I'm working on it right now with the good amount of sources we have. Do you mind if I change the link in the navbox to "Untitled Super Bowl episode"? I'm thinking using "Glee Super Bowl episode" seems a bit redundant since it's a Glee navbox. Yves (talk) 22:17, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Questions about Collaboration of the Week

Hi Another Believer, I am a PhD student from the Carnegie Mellon University. I am interested in the Wikipedia community, especially the mechanism of Collaboration of the Week. I noticed that you have participated in WikiProject Oregon’s collaborations before. Could you please take several minutes to answer five questions if possible? Thanks for your help!

1. How many times (approximately) have you participated in Wikiproject Oregon's Collaboration of the Week?

2. Why did you participate in the Collaboration of the Week?

3. Do you feel you become a better editor through participating in the collaborations? If so, could you provide some examples?

4. How did Collaboration of the Week change your behaviors (if any)? What caused the changes?

5. Are you still participating Wikiproject Oregon's collaboration of the week recently? Why?

You could leave your answers either in your or my talk page if possible. Thanks for your time! We have the same goal to make Wikipedia a better place.

WikiCup 2011 January newsletter

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to The Bushranger (submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by Zanzibar Hurricanehink (submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to Greece Yellow Evan (submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for Talk:Hurricane King/GA1, Principality of Sealand Miyagawa (submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for Dognapping, and United Kingdom Jarry1250 (submissions) who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic (explanation), claiming for Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!

A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

List of Indiana state symbols

I also left a follow up on our looooong discussion on my talk page. I put the Indiana symbols article into one table, but I have a question. The beverage (water) and pie (hoosier pie) were not passed into law as a state symbol. I can't find them listed on any Indiana state web site that includes them as a state symbol along with the official symbols. Both symbols were only Senate resolutions. Text of the resolutions are given as the reference in the article. Utah did the same thing with a senate resolution for Jell-o as the state snack. The Utah state legislative *$&#? idiots have passed a bill in the house that would make a law for the state gun to be an official symbol in Utah State Code. It hasn't passed the moronic Senate just yet. Does just a resolution make it an official or unofficial symbol? Bgwhite (talk) 00:51, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Hey! Sorry again for asking so many questions but I've started on another one, Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album, and I'm having trouble finding one piece of information. It was first awarded in 1968 as Best Contemporary Album, but then was discontinued until 1995 where it became Best Pop Album. But I can only find this article to show that the Beatles won it. And then this to show one of the other nominees was Bobee Gentry. Soo if you ever come across an article that lists more nominees, it be very helpful if you directed me to it =D--Blackjacks101 (talk) 19:41, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Spanish-language albums and songs

Hello Another Believer! I see you and Jaespinoza have been doing some great collaborations for the Grammies and Latin Grammies. I just thought you should know that in Spanish, the capitalization of albums and songs are different. Only the first letter of the first word should be capitalized unless it's a pronoun. Wikipedia:ALBUMCAPS states that the rules of capitalization from another language need to applied for albums and songs articles. BTW, I would also like to collaborate with you someday. I'm sure you've got enough work to do now. Keep up the great work! Magiciandude (talk) 04:21, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

I've put a lot of work on Romances since I feel it has a shot. Seeing as how you made a FA yourself, I like to see your input. Thanks! Magiciandude (talk) 05:28, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

I have no doubt it will be quite a task for an album to be FA (there's not even a 100 of them). One of my goals for Latin American music task is to have at least one Spanish-language album that is FA. And thanks for those edits as well! :) . Magiciandude (talk) 06:03, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Hey... do you know the short forms for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Mali so their flags can appear on the Grammy article? Thanks!--Blackjacks101 (talk) 13:00, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

The Featured Sound Main Page Proposal Voter Barnstar
I was truly humbled by the overwhelming community support for the recent proposal to place featured sounds on the main page. The proposal closed on Tuesday with 57 people in support and only 2 in opposition.

It should take a few weeks for everything to get coded and tested, and once that is done the community will be presented with a mock up to assess on aesthetic appeal.

Finally, I invite all of you to participate in the featured sounds process itself. Whether you're a performer, an uploader, or just come across a sound file you find top quality, and that meets the featured sound criteria, you can nominate it at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates. Featured sounds is also looking for people to help assess candidates (also at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates.)

Thanks again for such a strong showing of support, and I hope to see you at featured sounds in the future.

WikiCup 2011 February newsletter

So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to The Bushranger (submissions) (first, with 487 points) and Zanzibar Hurricanehink (submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round. Scotland Casliber (submissions) finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen here. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to United Kingdom Jarry1250 (submissions) for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to Bavaria Stone (submissions) for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.

Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.

Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Actually, I removed those sections on purpose as those seemed to be the ones the anon was objecting to, and I can kind of see his/her point. Personally because those sections are fully sourced it's not the kind of thing I would delete normally, but I'm getting weary of the anon not doing anything constructive to fix the article, so I was trying to nip it in the bud.

Another Question...

Hey! I was just wondering....it's been over a month now since I nominated the FL and not many have reviewed it...since it's running out of time do you suggest that I start asking around? I also have basically finished Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album....but the lead is soo short becuase of the lack of multiple wins and controversy surrounding the category. Do you think that it will survive FL with juch a short lead? Thanks as always!--Blackjacks101 (talk) 15:02, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice! And once again thanks for the help on the new list those edits are the things that save it in FL so I am very grateful!--Blackjacks101 (talk) 13:05, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

How's this (from Wehwalt)

April 23

Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall is the sixth album (and first live album) by the Canadian-American singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright, released through Geffen Records in December 2007. The album consists of live recordings from his sold-out June 14–15, 2006 tribute concerts at Carnegie Hall to the legendary American actress and singer Judy Garland (pictured) Garland's 1961 double album, Judy at Carnegie Hall, a comeback performance with more than 25 American pop and jazz standards, was highly successful, initially spending 95 weeks on the Billboard charts and garnering five Grammy Awards. For his album, Wainwright was also recognized by the Grammy Awards, earning a 2009 nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. While the tribute concerts were popular and the album was well-received by critics, album sales were limited. Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall managed to chart in three nations, peaking at #84 in Belgium, #88 in the Netherlands, and #171 on the United States' Billboard 200.(more…)
Thanks sooo much! I will take a look at the nomination process again. --Another Believer (Talk) 21:56, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello Another Believer. I have been looking at your work since weeks and i really admire what you do. You are an amazing editor. I wish we had more people like you here on Wikipedia.

Hey we have a problem now, all of the old references from grammys.com are not working so we need to replace them with the updated ones.

Yes, I noticed the links were outdated as well. I went ahead and updated the General source link for all of the current lists with GA/FL status, but I am sure there are additional links that need to be correct. Thanks for the heads up! --Another Believer (Talk) 16:13, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Looks pretty good to me. I would remove one image, perhaps of someone that has received nominations but did not win. I usually only include pictures of winners unless there are not enough--then I picture nominees. I'd be happy to review the list in more detail if you take it to FLC. --Another Believer (Talk) 14:34, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

I only see one re-direct. It appears "Seal (album)" is re-directed because there are three different albums named "Seal". You need to specify which one. I hope this answers your question. --Another Believer (Talk) 23:58, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Rufus Wainwright (album)

Hi, you have put references to that biographical book into this article, which is fine. But please note that the author's name is Lake, not Lane. I have corrected it in this article, but don't know if the same mistake already occurred in other articles.

Also, there are sentences there about "The McGarrigle Hour" and the Gap commercial and such things. I don't think that they actually belong into this album article. Maybe you would like to transfer them to his main article.--Sylvia Anna (talk) 15:46, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I just wrote on your talk page about the Lake vs. Lane error, which has been corrected. I have not used the source for other articles. I have to disagree about the inclusion of The McGarrigle Hour and the Gap ad--while these project should definitely be included in the main Rufus Wainwright article, I think they also belong here to provide background information. The Gap ad is especially relevant to the album, as several of the sources used to write the article mention the ad and how is boosted his popularity (even if slightly). Thanks again for your help with correcting/improving the article! --Another Believer (Talk) 15:56, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
I think the Gap commercial is worth mentioning the second time where you note that it boosted record sales. But the first time you mention it as a stand alone fact it doesn't contribute to understanding the album. Also I think that as background information there is too much about his upbringing and such. That's all in his main article where it belongs. Here it makes the article become overbloated.--Sylvia Anna (talk) 16:04, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
I sincerely appreciate your feedback, especially since I see that you edit other Rufus-related articles. Why don't we wait and see what the GA reviewer thinks. Of course, you are more than welcome to contribute to the GA review (once it starts). Personally, I like a good amount of background information in articles. The main Rufus Wainwright article should summarize details that appear in album articles along with information about him that does not relate to his projects. If the GA reviewer also feels that there is excessive background information, I would be happy to strip down the details. --Another Believer (Talk) 16:11, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
Yes, we can wait and see what other reviewers think. I do appreciate background information, but it should be directly related to the subject of the article, which is the album in this case and not Wainwright himself. I also don't see any need to repeat so much information about him here that is already in his personal article.--Sylvia Anna (talk) 16:31, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
