Changes to music articles
Hey, I've noticed you've made a lot of changes to music articles lately. It'd be helpful if you would use the edit summary to explain what you're changing and why, and ideally, if you'd provide a source for these edits.

If you're making these changes you obviously have a source, so please provide what that is using the toolbox at the top. Shadowjams (talk) 18:29, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

I second Shadowjams' request for an edit summary. Also, you seem to be changing dates (at least in the articles I'm watching) for Billboard No. 1 positions. In the three articles I looked at, you changed from the chart date Billboard uses for its issues of the magazine (and which is the one we use on Wikipedia) to a date closer to the calendar date of the chart's unveiling. I know it's confusing the way Billboard does it, because they don't go out of their way to explain it, but an article on Thursday will usually come out talking about how the new chart will show so-and-so at #1. The chart date they're talking about (but never mention) is the Saturday nine days later. Surprise!

If you're changing dates in the other articles in your Contributions list on the basis of the calendar date, please (1) STOP! and (2) go back and revert any such changes that are still present. Thanks, and I hope this helps. &mdash; JohnFromPinckney (talk) 20:33, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Billboard publishes a chart once per week. A week equals seven days. Billboard's publication date is the LAST day of the chart week. This song was number one for FIVE weeks. The chart progression box that you have in this page is for 29 days. Last I checked, five weeks equals 35 days. Thus the other six days need to be included somewhere.

You do NOT have any right to tell me to STOP!, so don't. The changes that I made are correct, so there's no need to change them. Do your math and use your head. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.58.2.158 (talk) 14:33, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
