"2013–present"
Hello. Should I use "2013–present" or "from 2013/since 2013" form? The first one is bad in polish (sounds artificial), idk how it is in english. Eurohunter (talk) 21:55, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
- Just I wanted made it clear. Thanks. Eurohunter (talk) 07:16, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
- I decided to develope Basshunter article. Do you know how I can add second language to reference? Why I can't use "rowspan" with "won" or "nom" template? The last question is how I can add archived link under archive.is? Eurohunter (talk) 07:47, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
- So I added a lot of new content. Sources will come soon. Could you check it? It would be very helpfull for next new content. Eurohunter (talk) 22:55, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hey. Do you saw my lastests messages? I'm bit stucked. Eurohunter (talk) 06:59, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- I have next question. Someone corrected sentence for "Basshunter has sold more than six million albums and singles.". I'm not sure it is correct, because it looks like no encyclpedic style. He didn't sold it personally, it has sold by shops for sure. Should be somethink like "Basshunter's singles and albums has sold more than six million albums and singles."? Eurohunter (talk) 07:04, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- Would be nice. Eurohunter (talk) 13:26, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- There is a lot of versions of albums. Almost every album has been released in different versions. Should I keep it or cut? If single been charted in further positions should I write which positions it was exacly or just write it was charted there without said positions. Eurohunter (talk) 18:49, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- Btw. why some certyfications status are written with capital letter and some small letter. Eurohunter (talk) 18:53, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

- Majour album versions like extended album with new tracks should be highlighted. But no need for special country releases. For singles, no need for specific peak positions except in prominent markets. For other markets though, just mention the country. The peaks are in the discography anyway. werldwayd (talk) 18:55, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- I have now completed a massive correction of the Basshunter page. It still needs more cleaning but at least is presentable for now. I will go back to the text again and make some more improvements tomorrow. werldwayd (talk) 20:01, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- Great job. I will add next informations soon. Discography. It's just 16 countries (14 counties and 2 US lists) and full HD resolution is a standard or even just move the page on small screen. It would be needed to delete Dutch too. Eurohunter (talk) 20:14, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- What about Belgium and Norway? Eurohunter (talk) 20:46, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- I have removed the French belgian market as secondary. But I am reluctant for Norway as it is Scandinavian country the power base of Basshunter plus that many of his singles charted very high in Norway. I have removed also Switzerland instead werldwayd (talk) 22:47, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for edits and "I Promised Myself", I never saw it. I cancelled one of your edits, becaise it changed title of remixed song. I have a few question yet. Do you know how I can add archive.is as archiveurl? It not work so it is bit problem. Should I add informations about Japanese version of LOL <^^,)>? It include 2 music videos. There is yet special polish version of Now You're Gone album, and it include 9 music videos on additional DVD disc. Eurohunter (talk) 07:16, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- The archive.is does not work because it is not allowed in Wikipedia and all links that show that are being blacklisted. This was after some discussion about how archive.is works. See policy Wikipedia:Using archive.is. It is still ok to use though one of the alias domains which have not been blocked like archive.li Regarding special country releases, I am not a fan of making it as something unique. It is well known for example that almost all Japanese bound releases have something extra not found in the originals, like some bonus tracks, most of the time a different album cover artwork etc. But this practice is so widespread in music industry that Japanese releases have no relevance really. But Polish version is quite unique as it has many extra videos and has a DVD version to add, so its worth mentioning in the section. Having said that, when an article becomes more than usual length, this keeps most readers except for the very obvious fan leave the page quicker without going to the detailed sections. Discgraphies are more convenient for this as they do not involve reading and all the hits are there in chronological order. The reader of the main article wants to know essential interesting facts and development of career not details of every release of album and single. Even in the references section, what is essential are links to actual articles about an artist, not specific links to peak positions certain releases reached except for the significant number 1 hits. werldwayd (talk) 08:07, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- I understand but I think there are two different things. One thing is massive replacing action happens and one thing is use it because it is needed. Archive.li look like mirror, right? I'm bit confusted with it. I preferer Web Archive but sometimes some sites blocking archiving their sites through robots.txt file. Btw. I have some informations to add and it is problematic because it are things which aren't finishes. Just, there are sources sayng "he consider" etc. Anyway, you will see. At the end I will ask. Are you on Steam? It woiuld be easier to talking. Eurohunter (talk) 16:45, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- I understand. But Archive.li is allowed for now. So it's the better solution to avoid problems with archive.is Youmay consider adding from info not directly related to one particular album or song but in general about him (always with sources). In answer to communicating, I don't have Steam or others for that matter. But you can always use my personal e-mail related to my website http://www.1wxrld.com which is 1wxrld@gmail.com You can also send suggestions from Poland or Europee about new hits I may consider for my charts. werldwayd (talk) 16:54, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Could you tell me what to do if website is avaiable in English and for example Swedish? As I understand I can't add them both to parameter like German and French, just Swedish or nothing? Eurohunter (talk) 09:38, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
- If it is more or less the same content in bot languages, then for English Wikipedia the English link would be preferable of course. If Swedish Wikipedia, then the Swedish link. But I'm not sure you are using these bilingual pages as an in text references or as an external link? werldwayd (talk) 13:35, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
- I don't mean link but just language paremeter like "in English and "Swedish" in bracket. Eurohunter (talk) 13:47, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
- I would do it separately by adding (in English) / (in Swedish) for example werldwayd (talk) 13:50, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
- So it should be like "language=(in English), (in Swedish)"? Eurohunter (talk) 17:16, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
- Correct. And so in all languages Try German as (in German) or Polish (in Polish) or Russian (in Russian) werldwayd (talk) 17:48, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
- I added exempple. Tell it is correct for sure. Eurohunter (talk) 21:27, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

- Where should I add menegement, social media, agences and charity party organised by Norton Hill School Quantock House students? They organized it two times and raised over £2,000 on first time and over £2,000 for next time. Eurohunter (talk) 12:28, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- Best is in a separate section. I have created what I called "Activities and Philantrophy" immediately after the Personal life section. Add the information there. werldwayd (talk) 13:08, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- There is already "Other public activities" section and subsections. What about exemple of use different languages in parameter, which I showed in lastets message link yesterday? Eurohunter (talk) 14:39, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry I didn't see that earlier. In that section you can add charity as I have done. Plus add section for Management and Agencies for example. I have made that a majour section to deparate it from the albums sections as well. DJing and Songwriting deserved its own majour section as well. By the way, thanks for adding all such details. It creates more interest than just album and single releases. Wish many other artists had such dedicated following. By the way, I have been spending some good time in listening to a lot of materials from Basshunter while working on the page werldwayd (talk) 15:26, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- It's hard to say because DJing and songwritting is a part of carrer. What about budget information? What about part: "He couldn't also publish his songs in the internet anymore, so he started create video blogs. His budget before 2010 it is about 800 dollars."? He sriously couldn't do it after comercial success and he started producing video blogs. He started publish his music again in 2012/2013. It's not end yet. There is some things and sources to add yet. I think I looking for made it Good Article. Eurohunter (talk) 15:36, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- His own album and single output is totally different from his producing and songwriting activities for others. So it does deserve its own section. But if you feel it should be part of his career section, go ahead. I have no objection. As for his budget before 2010 being about 800 dollars, good for him, but that is approaching border of fancruft, I think. It's just simply not needed if you ask me. As for good article status, all the power to you, but frankly I am not that optimistic about it as the article is far from that for sure and neither my or your edits will help it I'm afraid. LOL werldwayd (talk) 15:48, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- You missed some things again:) "I added exempple. Tell it is correct for sure." and what about with that sentence about publishing music? Btw. I can add to albums how long it was produced or when it was started. Eurohunter (talk) 17:13, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- Part of your edit was later reversed by some other colleague. So the language reference there is gone now if you look at it. For album details, yes, how the albums developed and what time frame was involved is a very good info to add. Some albums take a long time of cumulative work to be relaized. You can also add some info about the "Basshunter style", because he clearly has his definitive recognizable style that can be spotted in his singles, plus for many others copying his style. werldwayd (talk) 17:51, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

- I edited music section and I think you changed some sentences and it changed them sense. It should be he consider fans have important meaning in his carrer. Many non-Scandinavian people prefer his songs in Swedish. He consider English language may be his good site but it is hard to creatively writing a lyrics in this language. Eurohunter (talk) 17:27, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
- Now I amended that paragraph. See if it is better now. Also feel free to change wherever you find any of my edits has made it inaccurate or I actually misunderstood it. werldwayd (talk) 18:57, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
- Template:Infobox musical artist isn't a bit outdated? I seen Template:Infobox person and Infobox musical artist mixed in articles of other popular musicians, so I'm bit confusted. Eurohunter (talk) 20:11, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
- The next question is. Should I add his general reflections? It is very close to finalise this article. Eurohunter (talk) 14:51, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
- Sure, as long as you can provide the related media reference. werldwayd (talk) 15:27, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
- It is very simple rule, no reference - no information. Btw. I noticed very topics in Basshunter discussion page are outdated so I answered and marked as done. What to do? Delete or archive it? Eurohunter (talk) 18:56, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
- The talk page is not that long. Keep it as main page without archiving. Some notes can be useful. werldwayd (talk) 18:58, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
- The last question at now. What with these infoboxes? "Template:Infobox musical artist isn't a bit outdated? I seen Template:Infobox person and Infobox musical artist mixed in articles of other popular musicians, so I'm bit confusted." Eurohunter (talk) 19:30, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

- Hello again. Should I add parents and brother's date of birth? Eurohunter (talk) 21:44, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
- No need at all to add, as the ages of parents and brother have no relevance on his career. If the brother is involved in any significant career, you may just remark as younger brother or older brother. werldwayd (talk) 21:51, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
- Looks like questions never end. Where I should placed comma? Before or after quotation marks? I saw even different types in quotation mark aticle. Eurohunter (talk) 11:09, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
- Usually, commas would be after a quotations. And since there are many types of quotations used, depending on where you come from, me myself, I usually use uniformly ' and " for both opening and closing quotations and convert the others to those existing two. werldwayd (talk) 13:35, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
- I know there are different quatations depends on country but as I know English Wikipedia version use American version of quatations. Eurohunter (talk) 17:49, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Its been awhile
Hello Werldwayd!
It has been awhile and I am still working on Draft:Alex Gilbert. Take a look and let me know your opinion. Do you think this article will be notable anytime soon? --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 05:15, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello! User:Werldwayd I have recently added a new source for Draft:Alex Gilbert. It looks like it was published today. You can have a look here! [1] I am working on a version for the Russian Wikipedia but it was deleted, claiming it was wrongly written etc. I am going to give it another go later next week. --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 21:54, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
- The article you quote is great and it adds credibility to I'm Adopted You should add this for sure. I am worried about the Russian Wikipedia being turned down. You should launch it only after thorough editing and more or less a perfect translation of the English one with all the references. I don't know why it was "wrongly written". Meaning what exactly? Was it a proper accurate grammatically correct translation? You should be careful to publish it only if its perfect. No need to rush simply just because you want to see a page in Russian. werldwayd (talk) 00:12, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi werldwayd . But can we use that source? As some looks like it was supplied by the subject himself. Yes and it wasn't a perfect article. Was my problem! Some of the words were badly translated. That was my fault. I had someone help with it too. They didn't help. I simplified it so it was shorter, missed some words etc. I will make a draft and work on that! Easy! --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 00:51, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
- You can use it as a source. Don't worry. This is just a draft anyway. For Russian article, please don't use their draft system or else you will end up with a situation like the one on English Wikipedia. Rather work on your own user page. Ask for somebody else with good experience on Russian Wikipedia to help you around and prepare a real decent article. Save all work on a page like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:DmitryPopovRU/article and work there. When you feel its perfect you launch it all at once on Russian Wikipedia. I feel you publishing in Russian was too soon on a work in progress article. That's why it was turned down. A second refusal will put your entire Alex Gilbert work in jeopardy. werldwayd (talk) 01:37, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
I know for sure. I don't want to put that work into trouble! Thank You! I see you also did a draft on your sandbox. But for notability that new source, it can't be used can it? What is the rule on this? The entire article has so much coverage that it is starting to look like a Cite Overkill! Thanks werldwayd! --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 02:03, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
- Please do use the article about the interest of the Queen and her support. It seems to me her majesty knows a real issue when she sees one, unlike our Wikipedia editors who think they know better, but they really don't. All they're doing is suppressing a real cause that needs to be highlighted for some technical editing issues or bluffing themselves that this is not a note-worthy issue and how much good Alex's campaign has done in impacting many peoples' lives. Me, I think Alex Gilbert's work is a very important matter and he does it with so much charm and vulnerability and great transparency it sometimes makes me tear up when I read about it. Regarding working from my own user page, I do it a lot as I keep articles for further development away from immediate scrutiny had I done it through the draft pages which have turned out to be a quagmire and no-go area for so many well-meaning novice editors. It is more a hindrance than a help. About Russian article, don't launch it unless it is PERFECT from all points of view. We want to see it permanently there werldwayd (talk) 12:49, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
For sure! That is true! Thank You I really appreciate it! :) --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 19:12, 14 May 2016 (UTC) --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 19:12, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hello werldwayd . Once again here is a new Source for Draft:Alex Gilbert. It is from a very popular magazine in NZ! Though with the build up of articles and interviews now on the Alex Gilbert article it should soon reach notability! Really! See [2] --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 21:31, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Tara-Jean Popowich
Hello Werldwayd,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Tara-Jean Popowich for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Prof. Mc (talk) 18:27, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Hey. How to note attention of en.wikipedia ppl to add their new articles to already existing Wikidata pages with articles from others Wikipedia versions? What is the way? It's any common page here to made new threads or any other discusion way? I have impression en.wikipedia ppl never search articles on other Wikipedias to look they already exists or not and they waiting for other even they are not first. I noticed it with new singles and car races articles. If they are not first they must add article to already existing Wikidata page. Othey way we have devided interwiki, so it's problem.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Rise-Up-Colors-of-Peace.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Rise-Up-Colors-of-Peace.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 19:50, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
