Re:Unusual You

Hi! I saw your message. Well, I found something which could go into composition or reception here. I'll try to find more information. Novice7 | Talk 07:48, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Unusual You

Well, I've looked at it and it looks good for a first draft. I think the main issue here is whether it was released as a promotional single or not. The truth is that there's no official sources from the label confirming it, the song didn't have add dates on radio anywhere and wasn't released separately as a digital download with a cover. So you should just create an article for the song rather than a promo (the template is similar anyway). The release information in the lead is mostly speculation, so I would remove that per WP:OR. I would also unite the background and composition sections, since the only "background" we have from the song is the writers. The critical reception sections seems a little long, but I believe you could add some information on the composition sections, such as the Gwen influence, etc. And the Lady Gaga bit needs to go.

(talk page stalker) As someone who has attempted make a page for "Unusual You" 500,000 times, XD, I want to add that if it was released as a CD single it is not a promo single. Sadly, I only have discogs and Hung Meiden to backup that release. Though, I still think that Hung Meiden is perfectly reliable, it apparently isn't according to Chase.

Unusual You

The page is definitely ready to be moved into the mainspace by now. It's already above what many of her other pages have. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 15:41, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Max Mosley

Hi. There has been an argument over the article on Max Mosley, son of the 6th Baronet Mosley, over something so simple as whether if we should include the name of his parents in law, or father in law, and information on his own children. They even claim he's not nobility. It's a false question, but some people, from outside lineages' issues, insists in not adding them. The discussion was brought up by User:4u1e on User talk:Konakonian, Talk:Max Mosley and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography. I'd thank you that you'd join with your good judgement.

Unusual You GA

I find creating non-single Britney Spears song articles like you're doing completely ridiculous, irrelevant and nonsensical. I only did it because I don't like seeing articles from the WikiProject I'm carrying ON MY OWN in bad shape, especially since the rest of the Circus singles are GAs. There are millions of unkept articles (AND unkept Britney articles) in Wikipedia. Why don't you work on them instead of creating unnecessary stuff? Xwomanizerx (talk) 17:11, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Womanizer, while [the above] response on my wall was most certainly loud and clear, it could have been delivered in a more professional and tactful manner and tone. I've been an active participant on Wikipedia since 2005 and have written, edited, and improved upon hundreds of articles spanning all categories and topics, so I truly understand your legitimate concern about creating more articles when others go without improvement. My creation of "Unusual You" and my above message inquiring about ways in which I can help share information pertaining to Britney Spears songs in no way warranted the message you've just left on my wall. For the record, you are incorrect to state that I'm creating multiple "ridiculous, irrelevant and nonsensical" articles, when all I have created is ONE single article pertaining to Britney Spears, which with a few minor adjustments just became a Good Article thanks to the efforts of you and other editors. Instead of criticizing the contributions of others, try suggesting meaningful ways in which others can help soften the burden you're carrying. You're an amazing and valued member of the Wikipedia community and this is evident in your body of work. I'll do you a favor of removing myself from the WikiProject participant list. Thanks again for all you've done to add to and improve upon the quality of Wikipedia's articles. --Caponer (talk) 17:50, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
I'm sorry for the way I reacted, but this has happened a number of times before and I'm kind of tired of this. You don't have to remove yourself from the WikProject. Sorry again. Xwomanizerx (talk) 17:53, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Caponer, you did a good job with UY. Please don't let minor notty gritties like the one with Xwomanizer hinder you from your passion for editing. And dont remove yourself from WP:BRITYNEY. We need polite and good faith editors like you. — Legolas (talk2me) 06:10, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Yes, Caponer, please! As you already know, I love your Unusual You article and we need people like you on the WikiProject. IDK what Womanizer's problem is lately. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 13:00, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Wessex children NPOV

Hullo there. I have opened a new discussion about the styling of HRH The Earl of Wessex's children: here because their articles are currently in violation of the NPOV policy. Do please drop by and have your say (and feel free to pass on the word to other concerned parties!) DBD 21:58, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
