I just wanted to point out that MOS:TITLECAPS, that you pointed me towards, says the exact opposite of you – in the list of words that are always capitalised, it includes "Every verb, including forms of to be (Be, Am, Is, Are, Was, Were, Been)". Anyway, I'm not going to edit war over it, but I think it's likely that some other editor will revert this to a capital letter in the future. For now I'm going to add chart placings to "Halcyon" and "Lush 3", as the references are poor at the moment and I don't want to see these articles put up for AfD.

You are correct, reverting. (Although I find it amusing that all of this was typed out over a single character being changed) Lazz_R20:25, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You're right – didn't want to get into an argument over it, just wanted to let you know for future reference.

...and Happy New Year. Followed your page from the RM nom, and saw you like both electronic and ambient music. On the off chance you've missed her (probably haven't but who knows) have you checked out Poppy? Could always use more eyes on a good page. Randy Kryn (talk) 20:21, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Yes, edit the singer's pages, but whatever you do, do not listen to or watch any of her videos. If you go against this good advice make sure that you later tell people that you do not belong to a cult led by Poppy (she makes us say that). Enjoy, and good meeting you.

Good. And if you are tempted, ask someone to padlock your computer and give the key (or better yet your computer) to a random passerby to dispose of, in a river or snowbank, and thank goddess for your decision (lol). Just kidding of course, she's quite the talent on several levels, and her and her associates, esp. Titanic Sinclair, are intent on making her the queen of the internet and the millennials, and they couldn't have come up with a better or more surrealistic but informative "candidate".

@MarioSoulTruthFan: If there was an article for it, there would be no issue in adding it at all. Navboxes are used to navigate between articles and do not serve as a comprehensive list, so anything listed without a link must be removed.

Hello.
Before I may thank you for your edit and clarification about the Zedd article, maybe you don't know about what I'm about to tell you, but I found the source in the Russian Wikipedia (ru:Zedd), where you can find the patronym name since he's Russian.
Best regards.
@Lazz R: I understand. That's weird because as far as I know, all Russians (and some former Soviets, like Ukrainians, Belarusians and Kazakhs) have a patronym (may use it or not). Anyways, I talked to Zedd directly to clarify. Jorgicio (talk) 00:54, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. Noticed you unimaged the template, and mentioned it was one of the rules of musical artists templates. Probably is, but I've looked at the page you linked, and other pages, and can't find anything about images. Are you sure? I probably just missed it or didn't go into the right page (there are so many guideline pages on Wikipedia that they could float a boat). Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 00:39, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, yes you are right, it isn't shown on the page. Images are unnecessary for musical artist navboxes, and cannot be used on them. Therefore the "image" parameter is not included. Hence why there are no famous singers or musicians etc with images included in their navbox. Lazz_R10:42, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I meant I can't find anything that says that images cannot be used. Was that a discussion somewhere, or is it listed as a policy? Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:21, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thinking about it, maybe an image on smaller templates like the Poppy template, where is wouldn't be intrusive and remove needed horizontal space? Randy Kryn (talk) 00:57, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I see. Well there has most likely been a discussion about this in the past, which would take some digging up to find. But if the navbox template literally does not allow you to add images, then images are not allowed. I seemed to have mistakenly assumed that this was listed as a policy/rule on the template page Lazz_R17:59, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Cool. Individual's templates are allowed to have images, although I and others tend to keep images off of large templates. Most major singers and bands have many entries, and those templates include such a large map of Wikipedia pages that images compress the horizontal template space way too much, and should not be used. Templates like the Poppy template, however, have enough room, and I think some would look better with a nice image. The Poppy image, for instance, is complimentary to the topic and template, and I'll return that one as you removed it without discussion. I won't place images on any other singers' templates, and don't often edit singer's templates outside of keeping watch on the Beatles, and just a few other, biographical templates. Randy Kryn (talk) 18:54, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It won't fit, so I see what you mean, that the singer's template excludes images. Maybe that's a discussion to have at that project, especially for smaller templates. The guidelines overall allow images, so it's either, as you say, a discussion that's been had already or something as simple as not updating the template to accord with that site-wide decision. Randy Kryn (talk) 19:02, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes that seems quite likely. This is similar to how Template:Infobox musical artist has missing parameters, although they were recently removed from the template. It used to be possible to include "spouse" and "children" with the artist-specific infobox, but those options were removed after a discussion. So it is likely that something similar has happened to its navbox equivalent Lazz_R19:14, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. In future, when doing content splits like this, please attribute (in the edit summary) where you got it from. All you said was "Created discography article"—you didn't create the content, you moved it from Khalid (singer). This requires attribution. Thank you. Ss11215:35, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Lazz R, you may have noticed the Remix artwork for "God's Plan" you uploaded got removed, because it was "a cover, not a remix". Luckily I've found this version of the song, which is basically Drake's original, but with new verses from Eric Bellinger. Would you be able to upload the artwork to the article please? Cheers, --Theo (contribs) 21:09, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
How can "Too Much of Heaven" be the successor to "Blue (Da Ba Dee)", when "Move Your Body" came out around October 1999 and "Too Much of Heaven" in February/March 2000, so definitely a few months earlier? --ChrisHamburg (talk) 16:26, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisHamburg: Because "Too Much of Heaven" was originally released on 11 May 1999 in Italy, as stated in the article and several discogs entries (though this is not deemed reliable). Yes, the international release was February/March 2000, however on Wikipedia we use the a release's first release date as its main one per Template:Infobox single - "The earliest known date of commercial release". This is similar to "Blue (Da Ba Dee)", which was originally released in 1998 before an international release in 1999. Lazz_R18:44, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, I see. I think that the entry on Discogs is questionable, I literally have never ever heard any member of Eiffel 65 mention this, however they did talk about how international labels asked for MYB to be the second single. Also by May 1999, Blue wasn't even too much of a hit song yet but was about to pick up steam, so why would they bother to release a successor right away? And lastly, if I'm not mistaking, all tracks from the first album but Blue were produced within 1,5 months between summer and fall 99 (although they said TMOH was an instrumental demo from 1997 that they repurposed and added vocals). --ChrisHamburg (talk) 06:22, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisHamburg: You have raised good points, you seem to be more knowledged on these singles than I am. However we don't want any WP:OR on the article, so it'd be best to find a reliable source that states the release date of this song and stick by it. Lazz_R10:12, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hey!
Regarding the remixes section from Justice discography page:
Well, I could say exactly the same - please justify edit of the remixes table format with any reason. Old one is makes logic sense, standardly named after "year - artist - name (remix title)". This sort of name is present everywhere, and I never saw "title (blank remix name) - year - artist" yet.
Old: 2006 - Franz Ferdinand - "The Fallen" (Ruined by Justice) <- this is how you google or name things
New: "The Fallen" - 2006 - Franz Ferdinand <- this is makes no sense
I will note that this format is used on several major discography articles (deadmau5 discography, Calvin Harris discography, Avicii discography, Marshmello discography, Daft Punk discography (partially, as theirs is merged with production credits)). It makes sense to use this format because it's consistent with the "singles" table; title - year - <everything else>; the title has the same width and is also a row (has a grey background) and in my opinion nicer to look at when it is consistent like this. My justification for removing the name of the remix is that the section is a list of the songs that they have remixed, it would only theoretically be needed to state the name of the song for the reader to know that Justice remixed it, the name of the remix beyond that is trivial. However many major discography articles (Martin Garrix discography, also Daft Punk discography) do not follow this, so admittedly it may be necessary to include the name. But my recent experience on this website is that people want things their way and my attempted justifications go nowhere, so I have reverted the remixes section to your desire. Lazz_R10:36, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just saw in your profile that you are Russian-speaking, so I'll continue in Russian to convey all my thoughts)
Я уже замечал такой вариант таблицы ремиксов у других исполнителей, и я в корне считаю его неудачным. В синглах такой формат выбран во многом из-за расширяющихся чартов, это выглядит удобно и правильно, т.к. цифры с двух сторон обрамлены текстовыми колонками, таблица преобретает более целостный вид.
В ремиксах чарты не указываются. Если ремикс попадает в топы, то скорее всего он становится синглом и, как следствие, попадает в таблицу синглов. Помимо этого, в таблице синглов последний столбец - это альбом, на последние столбцы пользователи обычно обращают внимание в последнюю очередь, столбец по значимости и не является важным и несет скорее вспомогательную информацию, по сути его можно опустить. С последним столбцом "исполнитель" это в корне не верно. В первую очередь пользователю важно узнать чей это трек, а уже потом его название, т.к. в обратном случае, глядя в таблицу, сперва считывашь информацию об одном лишь названии трека неизвестного исполнителя и знанием того, что условные Justice его заремиксили. Чтобы правильно считывать информацию с таблицы взгляд должен делать движения [2 - 3 - 1], что не совсем удобно и правильно. Подстраивать разметку под единый вид и единые цвета — это, конечно, хорошо, но здесь, в первую очередь, нужно исходить из важности столбцов.
Я не уверен насчёт расположения столбца с годом выхода, по нему идёт сортировка и группировка треков и, по-моему, сортировка также должна совпадать с расположением и приоритетом столбцов, но это не точно) Касательно названия ремиксов, я лишь придерживаюсь позиции полноты информации, важной для пользователя. Иногда музыканты делают несколько версий ремиксов, и я считаю, что оба варианта должны быть указаны в таблице. А техническая информация, как например Co-producers для ремиксов Daft Punk, по-моему, совсем не нужна пользователям. На данный момент я считаю наиболее удобным такой вариант таблицы ремиксов: Maceo Plex#Remixes. Жаль, что на вики нет единого шаблона по всей дискографии электронных музыкантов, там можно было бы прийти к общему мнению, рассмотрев все доводы. Я лишь призываю к удобству для конечного пользователя, на ремиксах Justice я не настаиваю и оставляю окончательный выбор на твоё усмотрение) Solidest (talk) 15:58, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Если честно, я не думаю что это разумна чтобы васговаривать на этот теме больше. Я считаю что мы оба правы, и что это все полностью сабиектив. Я в соглашении что здесь должен буть одно правельну таблиц для ремиксов. Ну, пусть тогдо оставем этот таблиц как он есть. Lazz_R17:12, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It would be much more polite if you would discuss potential article moves on the article Talk page before just barging in and doing it. It would be much appreciated by your fellow Wikipedians. There is no rush here: if you think you have a better (or correct) name for an article, just say so on the Talk page, ask if anyone has an objection, and give it 4 or 5 days. Then, if no one objects, go ahead. Every time you rename an article, it means that you think someone else's judgment was wrong and your judgment is better, so you should, at least, give the people who have been editing the page a chance to make their case. -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:40, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Ssilvers: Hello, I do apologise. It was wrong of me to move the article with no addition to the talk page. I have not done it this way before, and I usually request the move and have a discussion on the talk page. I have requested moves many times, the majority of requests of which have been successful. However, I assumed this was a stub article that someone had just created, so I corrected the disambiguation without realising that there were many people working on the article who were discussing it on the talk page. I will no longer move pages without discussion in future Lazz_R00:55, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Lazz R: I wonder why my article Love U (Marshmello song) and You and Me (Marshmello song) were unpublished (and your article Ritual) but Chasing Colors, Moving On (Marshmello song) and Twinbow with the same structure didn't, any thoughts about this? hueman1(talk)02:04, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@HueMan1: Yeah, I do not understand myself. Some articles slip through and get untouched, others are watched like a hawk in terms of notability. I cannot see what "You and Me" looked like prior to redirecting, however upon looking at "Love U", I noticed that it was incredibly underreferenced, with only two references to primary sources, of a store page. References are what prove an article's notability per WP:GNG. Twinbow has several sources to prove its notability, but no chart positions or anything substantial that is listed on the article. But I do not know what my thoughts are on this, I feel as though some editors may be biased in some circumstances. Lazz_R12:34, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Lazz R: Should we make a discography for Dotcom? I was just wondering because if Forbes confirmed that he is Marshmello, so that means we should add his remixes and singles in Marshmello discography? Any opinions? I left a message in the discography if you would like to discuss the topic. hueman1(talk)05:24, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No it does not. Wikipedia has standards, please take a moment to read WP:GNG. The summary states "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list". Linking Rayge DeMarco's iTunes and YouTube links (primary and non-reliable sources) does not equate to "reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Other editors discussed this when the page was deleted the first time, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rayge DeMarco. However, there are also rules to specific articles, such as WP:NMUSIC. There are a list of things that may justify an article, of which it meets one of them, #2 - "has had a single or album on any country's national music chart", which "Friday First" has; charted in the Netherlands. Spotify charts do not count per WP:BADCHART. The page is not properly cited, because the citations are mostly WP:SPS (self-published, socal media) and WP:PRIMARYSOURCES (directly related to or created by the subject). Reliable, non-primary sources are needed to verify the subject. Please read the rules and requirements for an article before creating one, although providing references does comply with WP:V.
However, I will consider that you have opposed to the deletion and I will retract the proposition, and convert it into a nomination instead.
@Hadhadhad13: At Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rayge DeMarco (2nd nomination), a user noted that the Netherlands chart position is fictional, and so is the minor hockey career, as he doesn't appear on the team roster for the years stated in the article and in the reference. So unfortunately the subject does not qualify for any of the (even minor) article requirements. It was tagged with G4 (recreation of an article that was voted as delete), and nominated for speedy deletion. Apologies that my attempt to prolong the deletion for you has resulted in the article being instantly deleted. Lazz_R15:40, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Please undo all of your recent edits regarding the capitalization of the artist named JES. As a member of her management team we have spent years maintaining her brand with name JES (all caps). Correct grammar aside this is the way the world recognizes her and we need to maintain this spelling (JES) throughout it's usage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiwiper (talk • contribs) 02:26, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
While I understand the conflict with MOS:TMCAPS the result is that you have renamed an artist for the purposes of search results which is obviously wrong. You can mention the stylization in the article but her artist name is JES. If this goes against MOS:TMCAPS then you should look at how effective the guide lines are within the context of the wikipedia. It's a living document that feeds the rest of the internet with (hopefully) accurate information. Right now it's feeding incorrect information about the artist JES. If you check the short bio of her google knowledge graph you'll see that it now doesn't list the correct representation of her name (JES) anywhere. In doing so it's reverting years of branding work and making it harder to find correct information about an artist the rest of the world calls JES, but wiki needs to call Jes even thought that isn't the name on her music profiles, musical works, trademark, registrations with the music industry professional bodies, iTunes, Spotify. Tidal etc etc etc. It's also going to mess up the feed through to the google auto-created youtube topic channel for JES which means it will mess with youtube search results. Very soon when you google her the picture will even be incorrect. It's time to review the guidelines and the implementation of these guidelines as it's damaging the accuracy of the information in wiki and beyond. Wikiwiper ... sorry for any breaks with protocol, I'm not an experienced wiki user.
@Wikiwiper: This an encyclopedia, not an extension of Google. If Google is using the title from here and you need to use a different name for your branding then you should contact Google and tell them to change it. The Wikipedia policy is not to use a stylisation unless it is a clear common name as measured by usage in independent sources, the bar for this is very high and allows for titles such as eBay because they in the dictionary that way. As far as I am concerned she is Jes Brieden, known by her first name which is Jes (everyone is where i'm from). The fact her branding uses capital letters does not change the overriding usage of the English language. You may want to read Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people) as well.
It is questionable whether this article is about a trademark. I would prefer to see it as an article about a person. But note that MOS:TMSTYLE suggests that the lead is correct. Jes Brieden (born May 10, 1974), known mononymously as Jes (stylized as JES). And if Google does not pick up on that then is a problem you need to discuss with Google. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 22:36, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Frayae, thanks for the response. I appreciate that everyone is doing a great job of enforcing wiki policy here regarding naming policies etc. My point was that in the wider usage of the site the policies are sometimes making it harder to find what we're looking for not only in wiki but also across the rest of the internet. I was asking if the editors / wiki policy makers would like to review the current practices and guidelines to see if they feel there might be better way to handle situations like this one. As wiki is such a valuable resource I think it's in the interest of all parties to keep improving it wherever possible. To follow up on a few of your points, yes we're talking to google most days about maintaining up to date information along with most of the other major profile hosts and sites. The problem as I mentioned earlier is that none of them exist in abstract and they're all pulling data from each other which is where the inconsistencies start to become a problem that spreads very quickly. This isn't an isolated case and it seems like it could benefit a lot of users.

I do understand your concerns, but Wikipedia policies have been debated by hundreds of people for many years. One of the basic tenets of the policy is WP:NOT. In the long list of all things Wikipedia is not, it includes Wikipedia articles about a company or organization are not an extension of their website or other social media marketing efforts. It would be difficult to change a policy to allow for articles to be kept up to date with what are in effect marketing reasons. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 19:48, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, I was wondering like to review the article Saving Light for it to hopefully become a featured article. The article previously failed it's first featured article nomination because only one person contributed to the review (which became a support in the end). If you have any criticisms/concerns about the article, please check it's good article review, the articles talk page and/or the first featured article nomination to be sure that the concern wasn't previously said by another user and addressed by me. However, if you do have any criticisms/concerns about the article that I haven't already said by another user, I would gladly address them and attempt to fix it.

Hi - just curious to know in which other countries the 1993 album is known as Orbital 2, because I've never seen it called that anywhere outside the US? Richard3120 (talk) 01:38, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
All digital download stores that I could find (eg Google PlayiTunes UK) list the album as Orbital 2. The album's CD release is also listed as Orbital 2on Amazon. The original release may have only been known as Orbital 2 in the US, but modern releases of it globally use the title due to a conflicting album of the same name. Lazz_R16:52, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's really weird, because it was never, ever called Orbital 2 anywhere outside the US on its original release... the new title only seems to have come about in the last ten years with the advent of downloading and streaming websites. Still, I can't argue with what those websites now call it. I'm guessing they do something similar for the first four Peter Gabriel albums, which were all original self-titled. Thanks for answering my question. Richard3120 (talk) 18:14, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I figured as much, but I suppose it makes sense for an alternative title for the digital distributors, especially considering that it was a title used in its original release, albeit an international one. And yes, you got me curious. Weezer also have a series of eponymous albums, which on iTunes are all subtitled (Red Album), (Green Album), and so on. I also looked up Peter Gabriel, his four albums are titled Peter Gabriel 1: Car, Peter Gabriel 2: Scratch, Peter Gabriel 3: Melt, and Peter Gabriel 4: Security. The respective articles note the alternative names, derived from the album covers. And no worries Lazz_R18:29, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot about Weezer. But in their case, they themselves have contributed to the "colour" names, to the extent that they and everyone else are referring to their forthcoming self-titled album as The Black Album even though it hasn't been released yet. The Peter Gabriel ones are even more intriguing... the first three were indeed known as Car, Scratch and Melt on original release, to distinguish them from each other, and it's obvious where these names came from by looking at the album covers. But the fourth was usually known as Mask... again, obvious if you see the album cover. So does that mean the fourth Peter Gabriel now has three different unofficial names (4, Mask, Security)? And of course, how many unofficial names does the fourth Led Zeppelin album have...? Richard3120 (talk) 18:48, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well I suppose. But I can't say that the labels re-releasing the music legitimately under a different name can deem it "unofficial". It's more a case of the artists not wanting to title their albums properly, but given logistics some kind of title has to exist. But I think it's okay to have the albums located at the appropriate disambiguated titles but include a note in the lead where there is an alternative title given.

Yeah, I think you're completely right about record companies needing to find a means of disambiguating these album titles on online record stores, and having the appropriate note in the article. No objection at all to what you've done, I just wondered where these "alternative" titles had come from. Richard3120 (talk) 01:32, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but this was done because of RS usage of the term, as far as I know. And do they talk like this about Direct-to-Video series? Smeagol 17 (talk) 19:13, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Game show (disambiguation) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalenciaᐐT₳LKᐬ17:01, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I see this was nominated (not by you) for a Main Page appearance at WP:TFAP for September 4. Any objections? If not, I'll write a blurb for it. We can run it through WP:TFAR or not, your call. - Dank (push to talk) 18:34, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely! Run it through, please. I have no objections. It was nice to be considered a primary author, too. Lazz_R21:07, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Jonathan Field, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
The page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. (See section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Howdy, I'm messaging you to see if you would be able to review Saving Light in it's featured article nomination. The nomination only has one review, and that was pretty helpful, though I need more people to vote on it so it has a consensus so it can pass/fail. If you are able to/have the time to, I'd like you to review the article and give feedback/criticism of the article on it's FAN page. If you do not have the time, or simply don't want to review the article, that's fine. If you do though, please remain unbiased. Many Thanks. Micro (Talk) 11:25, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, in the case of video games, the developer's location does not constitute strong national ties for changing the article's English variation. Now if the game is set in a specific location or is cited in sources to have a particular affiliation with a region, sure, but otherwise we retain the original variation/EngVar. Wanted to clarify since you've made multiple such edits recently. (not watching, please {{ping}}) czar16:45, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
File copyright problem with File:Easytoasschicane.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Easytoasschicane.jpg. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.
@Freshacconci: I did not change the article to British English. Look at the templates at the top of the article and you will find "Use British English|date=November 2017". The article has already been set to use British English over two years ago, so I was correcting the text in the article to follow this. I was not violating ENGVAR in any way, quite the opposite. Please restore my edits. Lazz_R23:10, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, not to bother you, but thought you could clear this up: I changed Utd. State 90 from an ep to an album, as the group's site and that page's sources peg it as an album, one that is different enough from the original. I also changed the 808 template. I was going to change the discography, but thought I'd seek consensus first. I have no strong preference, just want the correct info out, whatever that may be. Thanks very much for your interest/help. Caro7200 (talk) 03:05, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely. If their website clearly labels it with "(album)" and the sources agree with this, I see no reason not to correct it. Plus, it is far too long to realistically be an EP and it is undisputedly listed as an album on their Discogs. The only issue is that the leads of all of the succeeding albums must be changed, too.

Hi LazzR:
I am a Spanish-language editor, I love electronic music and I have written an article about a record label that I would love you to help me with. Draft: Aztec Records
It is still a draft, but I would like it to be published. I'm sending you the link, and if I can help you in any way... here I am. Thank you very much.--RafiUbeda (talk) 15:29, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Lou Reed Perfect Day.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. George Ho (talk) 06:58, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have nominated Sasha (DJ) for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks.

The instructions for the review process are here. Hog FarmTalk17:28, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
