January 2014

Hello, I'm IndianBio. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Erotica (song), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. The sources you added are fansites which are not accepted as reliable sources in Wikipedia. I would suggest you to take it to the reliable sources noticeboard and get a consensus from the community on the source's acceptance. —Indian:BIO · ^{[ ChitChat ]} 06:33, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Open Your Heart (Madonna song), without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Please notice my suggestion, else your edits will continue to get reverted —Indian:BIO · ^{[ ChitChat ]} 06:47, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:MadonnaCherish1989.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:MadonnaCherish1989.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 16:33, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edit to Ray of Light (song)

Hello, and thank you for your recent contribution. While the content of your edit may be true, I have removed it because its depth or nature of detail are not consistent with our objectives as an encyclopedia. I recognize that your edit was made in good faith and hope you will familiarize yourself with what Wikipedia is not so we may collaborate in the future. Thank you!

@IndianBio:Just one. The Confessions Tour in L.A. Ndg78 (talk) 07:34, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ndg, regarding this edit just wanted to clarify you that online sources like Yahoo!, Slant MAgazine, AfterEllen etc are not italicized in the prose text or the references. I suggest you correct these errors. —Indian:BIO · ^{[ ChitChat ]} 08:25, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

K, thanks for the info! Ndg78 (talk) 09:02, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ndg, regarding the image of Liza that you added. The reason I removed it was there is already an existing image of Madonna performing in a similar way to Cabaret and the mere link to the article would suffice it. Hence adding another image of Liza would be redundant. Contrary, on "Oh Father" the picture of madonna's father is necessary since Tony Ciccone is the primary inspiration behind the song and is being discussed critically and by authors in that section. A picture of the man who became a song's theme aids the reader hence it is used. —Indian:BIO · ^{[ ChitChat</fontnote> ]} 06:58, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I understand what you are saying about the Liza picture. But I disagree with you about the Tony Ciccone picture because although "Oh Father" was inspired by Madonna's father, I don't think that the reader really needs a visually aid as to what Madonna's father looks like(how does that aid the reader in any way?). However, I have better things to do then sit here and argue with you all day over the matter so I will not fight it anymore.Ndg78 (talk) 07:09, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
