Thriller 140 million????

It's evident that is an error. It was 104 and for error the reporter wrote 140. Also if you watch the certifications, it's impossible! - Simone Jackson (talk)

Well certifications mean very little, they are not necessarily an accurate way to work out somebodies sales. As for a typing error, we have know way of knowing that. — R ² 17:56, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Realist, if until November 2006, Thriller sold 104 million copies, it's impossible that sold 36 million copies in 1 year. It's an error, it was 104 and the reporter wrote 140. - Simone Jackson (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 18:10, 9 February 2009 (UTC).[reply]

We have no way of proving it was an error sorry. Remember, Wikipedia is about verifiability, not truth. It's just a claim (made by a reliable source), and it's treated as such. — R ² 18:41, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is a prove http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/21666790#21666790 In this video MSNBC says 104 million copies, not 140 million copies. This video was with the article. - Simone Jackson (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 19:45, 9 February 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Well, I can't personally watch the video, I don't know why, but I'll take your word for it. We will take it back down to 109 million. — R ² 19:57, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just a heads up

Be on the lookout for any of these guys. This guy already "protested" the changes of number-ones lists (to the tables with images) and left some rants on the Project Talk Pages: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Record Charts#Format changes from lists to tables. Basically what he is doing is reverting the articles, then copying all the text (in its old format) and creating new articles with a variation on the name, like "List of 2003". If you place warnings on his page, he'll then copy all the contents onto your talk page and on his talk page and on his user page, wherever he can put it. I've had to block and also give full protection to his pages and delete a number of articles he created; it's ridiculous. Soooo... just be on the lookout, check User Contributions, report to AIV, whatever. Later! - eo (talk) 23:13, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Will do, I look forward to meeting him, I seem to bump into all the nutjobs at some point. — R ² 11:08, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please, Please

Please, please stop User:Dance-pop. Its getting out of control!!!. Sometimes he is inserting multiple same references, sometimes forgetting to sign, sometimes inserting blog links, i can't handle it alone!!!! Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee "Legolas" (talk) 04:34, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK,OK, I'll take a look, although I got tired of watching those article last time remember, they attract too many nutty contributions for my liking. — R ² 11:08, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He, he. Efe has left a warning to the user (which i don't think is gonna affect). In the meantime just keep an eye. I'm doing hte best i can to revert bad changes, but even my watchlist is so full now!!! I have other works at GA in the WP:books so its getting out of control. Especially today was really downer. Each and every time this user and an IP, were editing pages related to GaGa and adding unsolicited info, or repeating same source multiple times, or no edit summary, or no signing posts. Obviously warnings resulted in abuse. Don't know what to do dude!! "Legolas" (talk) 12:12, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cherry Tree

Did you see this article about the Lady GaGa EP? It has all links related to Amazon and iTunes. Do you think its valid? "Legolas" (talk) 06:36, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well I was redirecting it until notability was asserted, but you can't stop the masses anymore. Best bet is to wait a few months till the interest dies down and consider redirecting then, if notability is still not asserted. — R ² 11:08, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Anyways I'm doing my best for the GaGa and Britney articles. By the way congrats on your recent FL articles taht you and Efe worked!! "Legolas" (talk) 12:15, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GaGa madness

Some IP is continuously adding bad sources in the associated act for the Lady GaGa page. What to do? "Legolas" (talk) 12:38, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I requested page protection, which was successful. — R ² 14:17, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dance-pop

A little heads up. I was checking hte history pages for Lady GaGa, Dance-pop may remove the protection from the page. I won't be here tomorrow so asking you to keep a lookout. They are getting mad to add those links which we are deleting. "Legolas" (talk) 12:00, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He can't remove the protection, he can request unprotection but it's unlikely to be successful. At this moment I'm beginning to think him and that IP are the same person. — R ² 12:02, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You know what, i think the same too. Wherever that guy comments something, immediately the IP comes and responds and they support each other too much. And he was particluarly furious for adding the protection as the IP cannot access it! Put these points in front of him and he will start abusing you. "Legolas" (talk) 12:08, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working on it, stay tuned. — R ² 12:09, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

By the way for the fourth single LoveGame, i think it is releasing now because a NY Times article also mentioned it being the third NA single. I think its time we can revert the page back. What do you think? "Legolas" (talk) 12:13, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not yet, there's no rush, but soon, maybe. — R ² 12:15, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just a heads up. Again started the addition of bad sources to the GaGa articles to prove his point. "Legolas" (talk) 05:49, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough

How you were saying about getting an article to WP:GA; do you think this meets the standards to pass? I've added content but I'm not sure it's long enough. Pyrrhus16 18:29, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely not long enough yet, it's an iconic song so there should be lot's of information available on it. Keep building it up though. Good luck. — R ² 18:38, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Will do. Cheers. Pyrrhus16 18:40, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GaGa

It is more than a reliable source, it is from entertainment weekly by the way, I HAVE always suggested relable sources. It is a mag article (journalistic approach) therefore it IS reliable! I know it was a good idea. Thanks. :)Dance-pop (talk) 03:53, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see nothing wrong with the arrangement of the images, but I do not understand the rules surrounding alterations to colors. With regard to the color alteration, you should ask User:Giggy, by sending him a well written, coherent message, so that he understands the situation. Also send him a direct link to the image in question. Best. — R ² 15:47, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This time I will not contest, if you are saying that is nothing wrong I will shut my mouth and I'm no longer bother anyone. OMG! You do not understand something on wikipedia? I really need print this, it's a sinal of apocalypse!

More Tina Turner

I've never been involved in, or started an RfC/User Conduct and I'm not really sure how to proceed on this. As you've noted, this is an issue on more than one page and the editor involved has ignored consensus, ignored totally valid points offered by a myriad of editors and still proceeds to do as she chooses. She's basically declared war on FA and GA articles and called them "crap" at one point. I'd appreciate any assistance you might offer on how to proceed on this. Is this something for RfC/User conduct or is there a more appropriate venue to discuss this problem? Wildhartlivie (talk) 20:40, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've given him/her a warning about what will happen if this continues. Hopeful he will stop editting against consensus. If not, we will have to do something (I'm already doing some reading around, looking for the best venue). — R ² 20:43, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If nothing in the song complies with SONG, the admin should have deleted it, regardless of how the votes went, but hey that's just my opinion. Your best bet is to start another AfD in 8 weeks, assuming the article doesn't improve. — R ² 08:39, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ohh, k. I think a merge is also acceptable. I have raised a section on the article's talk page. Please share your inputs. Based on it i will decide. Dance-pop has been banned for a month from editing, hence i don't think any other improvement will hapeen to the article. --Legolas!! ^(talktome) 10:02, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You know, it is very upsetness. :/ Renanx3 (talk) 18:09, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My advise to you would be to ignore Dancepop all together (I did a long time ago), he was clearly baiting you. However saying you would like him permanently banned etc, will only inflame the situation. — R ² 18:17, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Prince Edits

Okay, i rewrote the 1987-1991 entry, added soures for stuff that I think needed them that u might have deemed controversial, not sure u didn't say what u had problem with that needed sources. and u delete it again saying largely unsourced. re-read what I wrote and the largely unsourced stuff are album charting and sales, tour info with line-up and where he toured, releasing of albums and band line-up change. please tell me what i have that u have problem with that needs souring so i can make the approiate ref notations. Antpooh (talk) 20:54, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

what do u want me to add source/ref to. The dates and release of albums, how the albums and songs charted and tour line-ups as those are the only things not sourced. The things sourced are stuff that would be deemed speculative, which i gave the source/ref info. for.

Oh I didn't do much, just some copy editing and a preliminary review before P16 sent it over to GAN. He get's the credit for this one. :) — R ² 22:39, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fun idea

I was thinking about this while taking a look at the Billie Jean article which you helped contribute to. Would you like to colloborate with me on an article? Whatever article, we can both work on it and nominate it for GA or something like that. I'm not too good at writing, but I am very good at research, and I am nearby a local college campus (Where I'm a part-time student) that has an archive of Newsday, as well as some archives of The New York Times. It's just an idea that I'm floating around, and thought you'd be interested. Don't worry if you're not up to it. :) Have a nice day! CarpetCrawler (talk) 22:41, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would love to, any ideas on the topic? — R ² 22:42, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't matter to me. Whatever you want. Probably a music related topic though. :) Have a nice day! CarpetCrawler (talk) 23:17, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I've had a few ideas kicking around, all of them would be major jobs: The Jackson 5, Prince (musician) or the more controversial (yet interesting) Living with Michael Jackson. Thoughts? — R ² 23:24, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

When I get the chance to go on campus later this week, I will head over to the campus library and see what information they have available on the Living with Michael Jackson special (I agree that would be one of the more interesting topics. :)) and then we'll see how it goes from there. I should hopefully find something. How does that sound? :) Have a nice day! CarpetCrawler (talk) 06:53, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've got one book that deals with it rather neutrally (well, slightly anti Jackson, but it's quite hard to find any mainstream neutral press when it comes to him). Fancy starting in the Easter holiday? I gotta do some work at the moment. — R ² 11:18, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! Take as much time as needed to do what you gotta do. :) CarpetCrawler (talk) 18:02, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll get back to you in 2/3 weeks. Plenty of time to do some research b4 hand. — R ² 19:02, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Definition of a "single"

Since you are 1000 times better than me, I'd appreciate your opinion here. The controversy centers upon exactly how we define a "single", and whether "No Love" by Simple Plan counts.—Kww(talk) 00:30, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Come on, I have some modesty. — R ² 00:47, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

shuffles in* Me personally, I always thought a single was something released in some way, shape or form by the band. Has the band officially announced that it's a single, yet? If not, then it's not a single. CarpetCrawler (talk) 01:06, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Who am I to argue with [Dance-pop]? He apparently possesses the official yardstick.—Kww(talk) 01:40, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stacee Brown and Yashi Brown

I'm thinking of taking these to AFD, can't find any reliable sources asserting notability. Just wanted to see if you have any objections first. Pyrrhus16 12:56, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you can't find sources in google, google news or google books, I see no problem nominating them. Best. — R ² 14:15, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, will do. Pyrrhus16 14:17, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lady GaGa

Hi, so I figured I would let you review this since you seem to have a a good sense of what is or isn't appropriate. I've re-enterd some info about Lady GaGa and The Starlight review with new sources. Some of the info was already in the article but was supported by a video so it was deleted. My edits keep getting reverted by the same guy that HATES the picture I uploaded. He says none of this info is notable. I believe it is since more that one publication is writing about GaGa and Starlights time performing together. Could you please review it and let me know if it should or shouldn't be in the article. I truly value your opinion about these things. You seem pretty fair. Thanks so much!! Jemgrrrl (talk) 18:24, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Throughout 2007, Lady Gaga collaborated with the similarly named Lower East Side Rock DJ, go-go dancer and performance artist Lady Starlight, who helped Gaga create her onstage fashions.^[1] The pair began playing gigs at downtown club venues like Mercury Lounge, The Bitter End, and Rockwood Music Hall^[2], with their live performance art piece, "Lady Gaga and The Starlight Revue"^[3]. Billed as "The Ultimate Pop Burlesque RockShow"^[4], it was a low-fi tribute to 1970's variety acts which featured Lady Gaga on synth, Lady Starlight spinning beats, choreographed go-go moves, shiny disco balls, and hairspray, lit on fire and sprayed into the audience.^[5] In August 2007, Lady Gaga and The Starlight Revue were invited to play at American music festival Lollapalooza, where they shocked audiences with their wild performance.^[6] Their show, however, may have been overshadowed by Gaga’s brush with the law—she received an indecent exposure citation from a bicycle cop for wearing "hot pants".^[6] Despite this incident, the show was critically acclaimed and Gaga's perfomance received rave reviews.^[7]^[2]

Some parts I don't think are needed

"which featured Lady Gaga on synth, Lady Starlight spinning beats, choreographed go-go moves, shiny disco balls, and hairspray, lit on fire and sprayed into the audience".
Their show, however, may have been overshadowed by Gaga’s brush with the law—she received an indecent exposure citation from a bicycle cop for wearing "hot pants".

I see no problem with the rest, assuming it's not already in the article. I would discourage you edit warring over the issue, since your very close to WP:3RR. — R ² 18:38, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please re-add it to the article? If I do I know I will just get reverted again..... Jemgrrrl (talk) 18:42, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Start a discussion on the talk page, mentioning the text you want to add (remove the info I suggested). I'll voice my approval. — R ² 18:44, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I stared a discussion.....thanks again!! Jemgrrrl (talk) 19:07, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Np problem, I'm archiving this page because it's very long. Best. — R ² 19:16, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
