Skyfall
There is a Featured Article and a GA on Bond themes, and I worked on both. SchroCat has seen no problems, and said he will clean up the article. And after all, the backlog is so big that you never know when a review will be done. But if you see errors, correct them instead of complaining! At least I am working on improvements. igordebraga ≠ 23:51, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * First, that FA was promoted six years ago, which means it has probably deteriorated a bit, and the GA is pretty bad and doesn't meet basic MOS. Second, Schrocat said he has no problems with you nominating it, not no problems with the article. He knows the article isn't up to scratch, that's why he took my advice of withdrawing it and he asked me to help with it as I am experienced in writing song articles, whereas he is more familiar with film articles. If he didn't think it had problems, he wouldn't have said he would clean up, no? As there would be nothing to clean up. Just because a backlog is big, doesn't mean you should be taking "risks" with half done articles. I will help on "Skyfall", but it needs a lot of time spent on it, which is why it shouldn't be nominated. If I was uninvolved with this and saw it nominated in its current condition, honestly, I would quick fail it. — AARON  &bull; TALK   23:57, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Your reverts of my edits
I'm trying to work out why you object to my edits, and exactly what "This wrongs the references" means. I presume you objected to me removing the 'publisher' fields, this is actually done in line with the practice laid down in Template:Citation/doc, which states " " Other facets of the edits is the italic rendering of the publications. You will find that the italicisation or otherwise are in line with WP:ITALICS, as well as the styles adopted for each of the publication per their Wikipedia articles. I'd like to understand from your viewpoint how this makes the references "wrong". Regards, --  Ohc  ¡digame!¿que pasa? 08:39, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * You was removing publisher and making work parameters italics when they shouldn't be. The references are perfectly formatted anyway, and you changed them so that they had missing and incorrect parameters. That is why I undid them, and it was partial on two of them. — AARON  &bull; TALK   10:40, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Rihanna's Grammys
Hello,

An editor on the List of awards and nominations received by Rihanna page found that she wasn't the recipient of the 2012 Best Rap Song award (as she wasn't a contributing songwriter) so has changed the page to reflect that. I've changed the main page to show six for coherency, providing an explanatory note; but I was wondering, considering a lot of the press asserted it was 7, whether she was credited for another award or there has been a mistake along the line. (I thought I'd contact you because you've done a lot of work on related articles). Thanks! —JennKR | ☎ 15:48, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
 * What song was this for? — AARON  &bull; TALK   09:49, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
 * All of the Lights - as the performing artist she won the Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration but not the Grammy Award for Best Rap Song as you are required to write/co-write. —JennKR | ☎ 18:18, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Well if that's the case then that win can't be included in her tally. — AARON  &bull; TALK   18:22, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree, it's just that Rihanna's official website (I think it's rihannanow.com ?) reported she had 7, but I guess they must have just went along with what the media reports said. —JennKR | ☎ 19:44, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I disagree. How come we go again highly reliable music sources such as MTV News and Billboard? I also posted on my talk, prior her performance of "Stay" at the Grammys the host himself (organizer of the Grammys too LL Cool J) said that she has won 7 Grammys! I still think that there is an issue with the Grammy database or whatever.— Tomíca (T2ME) 19:47, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Even if your vote does count, it is still not enough to delete it, you are only one person....anyway, if you want to get technical, both articles are wrong...because it really is her eleventh studio album......her holidays albums, Merry Christmas and Merry Christmas II You as well as her soundtrack album glitter should not be counted as studio albums..Hashtag beautiful (talk) 21:55, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
 * My vote does count, it's me who has proposed it be deleted. My vote counts just as much as anyones. That's not a technical point, at all. Critics refer to this as her 14th album, so we do too. Fact is, it is her 14th studio album. Holiday and soundtrack albums are still studio albums. Your opinion of how it should be does not matter. — AARON  &bull; TALK   21:58, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
 * But Holiday albums consist mostly of holiday cover songs from other artists......it is not a complete work of original songs....the majority of a studio album should consist of original songs....not covers...so, no, holiday albums should not count..........Hashtag beautiful (talk) 22:01, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
 * So? Original or traditional has nothing to do with it. They are still studio albums. Listen to yourself, you have no idea what you are talking about. By your reasoning, albums can be part studio part holiday/soundtrack. Again, that is your opinion. We don't use your opinion, we use sourced and critical facts.

Lists of songs written/recorded by artists
Hi, I saw you've moved a lot of these pages so they say "written and recorded". I moved some of them back, because all the songs on those particular pages (Leona Lewis, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry) are recorded by those artists, regardless of who wrote the songs. The titles imply something about the articles that isn't there - either that all the songs were both written and recorded by them, or it's all the songs they've recorded (regardless of writer), plus all the songs they've written (regardless of recording artist). However, when I came to Alicia Keys, I couldn't move the page back because you'd added the songs she wrote but didn't record. But I still think the "written and recorded" part of the title implies she both wrote and recorded all the songs, which isn't what the list is about. I also looked at Emeli Sandé and Adele, and I think the same applies there as to Keys (though in Sandé's case, I think she wrote all the songs she recorded, so maybe the old "written by" title was ok). I didn't see if there were any other lists that you'd moved. Sorry to be a pain, and I hope you understand why I moved the pages back. Of course, if you were planning to include songs written, but not recorded by, Lewis, Rihanna, Minaj and Perry (assuming they exist), the pages should be moved back - though I think you moved one to "written and/or recorded" before moving it on again, which might have actually been more clear! – anemone projectors – 17:16, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, I changed the Katy, Rihanna, Leona and Nicki ones to written and recorded because there are songs which they have written for others, plus also songs which are listed on BMI, which are songs they wrote but perhaps didn't record. Katy did have some for Kelly Clarkson on her list though. — <font color ="RED" face= "Verdana">AARON  &bull; TALK   22:17, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * If there were songs written for others on all those lists then I apologise, but we know of at least two that Leona Lewis has written for others and I didn't see them on the list. Maybe you've added them since. I still think the title "List of songs written and recorded by X" is confusing though. Perhaps "List of songs written or recorded by X" is better, because then it includes all songs recorded by, all songs written by, and all songs both recorded and written by, and looks better than putting "written and/or recorded". – anemone projectors – 11:03, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I now see you've moved some to the "and/or" title. I think that's fine :-) – anemone projectors – 11:08, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * There's another discussion about this on my talk page under the section "List of songs recorded by Rihanna" that you should probably read. – anemone projectors – 19:01, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

List of songs written and recorded by Adele
Sorry, buddy, this has to be one of the silliest article moves I have seen at WP. Oh and the others you have also moved. I trust you are now going to remove the songs that she recorded and did not write, perhaps for clarity, the article title should be "List of songs recorded and co-written by Adele" as she doesn't actually write songs, she co-writes!!! I note some articles have already been moved back, please be on notice that any not reverted will be subject to an RM in due course. Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 18:23, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm just trying to work out which title for the lists applies best. Using Adele as an example, "List of songs written by" would mean including only the 10 she solely wrote. "List of songs recorded and co-written by" would exclude those 10 songs, thus that would be exclusion of content and would not be broad in coverage, just as it would be the other round that I said before. Only using ""List of songs recorded by" would mean that I'd have to remove all the BMI database songs for all the songs that each artist wrote but never it to an album. Do you see my points here? Unless you want me to create two separates lists for each artist? For example, "List of songs recorded by Emeli Sande", including only the songs from her album as well as songs which she has been featured on on other artists albums, and then a "List of songs written by Emeli Sande" which would include all her songs from her album, featured songs she co-wrote/wrote and then the other 70 or so entries she has on BMI? Another alternative, which I think would make some lists extremely long, would be to simply have for example "List of songs by Cheryl Cole", having one table for recorded, and another underneath for co-written/written.  — <font color ="RED" face= "Verdana">AARON  &bull; TALK   19:28, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Co-writing is still writing, so "List of songs written by Adele" would still be accurate. The list makes it clear that there are co-writers as it names them. As I said on my talk page, I don't think it's worth including songs on BMI that have never seen the light of day, because they're not notably written by the writer, because nobody has ever heard them (other than the writers). I say we should keep songs by writer and songs by performer in separate lists. – anemone projectors – 20:03, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * So Emeli's and Alicia's are okay so stay as "written and recorded" then? So you agree that songs written by X and songs recorded by X should be different lists? Same article, two tables or two completely different articles with different titles? — <font color ="RED" face= "Verdana">AARON  &bull; TALK   20:08, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Emeli seems to be sorted per my talk page. Alicia is more complicated - see my comments there. – anemone projectors – 20:38, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * The function of performer and songwriter are two totally and distinct functions (even if done by the same person(s) - what Aaron is trying to do is merge the two functions and it doesn't work. List of songs written and/or recorded by the Beatles? Doesn't work. Many of the song article lists have been moved from "List of XXX songs" to "List of songs recorded by XXX" to standardise the format, we really don't need the creation of different varieties just because one artist sings, another writes, another produces and yet another actually plays guitar. The merging of two distinct functions doesn't work for songs or any other items. I think the present format is clear and concise and cannot see any reason to vary from the Category:Lists of songs by recording artists standard wording. "Songs written by XXX" do not belong in "by recording artist." If Aaron wants to create "List of songs written by XXX" I won't be objecting (actually I'll be cheering), but there is a reason that Category:Songs by songwriter and Category:Songs by artist are separate, absolutely silly to try and merge them.--Richhoncho (talk) 21:22, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, there's no need to be so personal! Well I literally just changed Adele's back to how it was. She has covered a few songs so I guess 'recorded' is best for her. So you would welcome a "List of songs written by Alicia Keys" and a "List of songs recorded by Alicia Keys" then? At the moment and out of the lists I am editing, this only applies to Keys. Sande can stay as 'written by', her 'recorded by' list would be quite short as she has only released one album. It's at FLC at the moment as "List of songs written and recorded by Alicia Keys" so I don't really know what to do about it. — <font color ="RED" face= "Verdana">AARON  &bull; TALK   21:27, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * So I guess the best thing to do is go back to the list of songs recorded by Alicia Keys, and then create a new list for songs written by her? What happens to the FLC? – anemone projectors – 21:52, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't know, I don't want to withdraw it. But I guess that is what I'm gunna have to do. — <font color ="RED" face= "Verdana">AARON  &bull; TALK   21:54, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Response to Aaron. Bearing in mind your support of my RMs to standardise "List of songs by recording artist", I am confused and upset you would now wish to tear the whole bloody thing down. I daresay I will get over it :). But let's get back to what it should be as agreed by all three of us and over a period of time. --Richhoncho (talk) 21:58, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * When did I say I didn't want to make two separate lists? I do, but you're not bearing in mind that it is currently at FLC. So what do you prose happens? I'm guessing I've got to withdraw the FLC, make the changes and create a separate list, the nominate them as two FLCs, right? — <font color ="RED" face= "Verdana">AARON  &bull; TALK   22:02, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * On a quick look, I think you will find there are songs on the list which were NOT recorded and written by Alicia. Some were recorded by, but not written and some vice versa. Don't think you have a choice. BTW. What about Katy Perry. She needs moving back too. --Richhoncho (talk) 22:09, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't interpret "written and recorded by" as being songs which are both written and recorded though. Well looks like I've gotta withdraw the nomination then, and work on two separate lists. I don't think Katy's was moved back because it has songs written for other artists in it. Maybe hers should be "written by" and not the original "recorded by" ? Thoughts? — <font color ="RED" face= "Verdana">AARON  &bull; TALK   22:35, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * The FLC review has already started. I don't know what to do about it, but I do think "songs written and recorded by Alicia Keys" means songs she both wrote and recorded.

Beautiful (Mariah Carey song)
The song isn't called "hashtag beautiful", in the chorus Mariah Carey sings "you're beautiful" not "you're hashtag beautiful". The inclusion of # is so to encourage the song to be mentioned on twitter and therefore trend. As its not a spoken part of the title its purely stylistic. No one, vocally refers to the song as "hashtag beautiful", the only place this is relevant is in written form. its quite different to say the Kelly Rowland song which is actually called number one and written/expressed as "#1", where the # is actually spoken as "number". &mdash;  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  <sup style="color:black;">[talk]  11:13, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Hey Calvin999

I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).

So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.

What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.

The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

WikiCup 2013 June newsletter
We are down to our final 16: the 2013 semi-finals are upon us. A score of 321 was required to survive round 3, further cementing this as the most competitive WikiCup yet; round 3 was survived in 2012 with 243 points, in 2011 with 76 points and in 2010 with 250 points. The change may in part be to do with the fact that more articles are now awarded bonus points, in addition to more competitive play. Reaching the final has, in the past, required 573 points (2012, a 135% increase on the score needed to reach round 4), 150 points (2011, a 97% increase) and 417 points (2010, a 72% increase). This round has seen over a third of participants claiming points for featured articles (with seven users claiming for multiple featured articles) and most users have also gained bonus points. However, the majority of points continue to come from good articles, followed by did you know articles. In this round, every content type was utilised by at least one user, proving that the WikiCup brings together content contributors from all corners of the project.

Round 3 saw a number of contributions of note. claimed the first featured topic points in this year's competition for her excellent work on topics related to Maya Angelou, the noted American author and poet. We have also continued to see high-importance articles improved as part of the competition: was awarded a thoroughly well-earned 560 points for her featured article Middle Ages and 102 points for her good article Battle of Hastings. Good articles James Chadwick and Stanislaw Ulam netted 102 and 72 points respectively, while 72 points were awarded to  for each of Władysław Sikorski and Emilia Plater, both recently promoted to good article status. Collaborative efforts between WikiCup participants have continued, with, for example, and  being awarded 180 points each for their featured article on Boletus luridus.

A rules reminder: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on the 29/30 June, which may be claimed in this round. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. We are currently seeing concern about the amount of time people have to wait for reviews, especially at GAC- if you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs!

I think the commercial performance section is good also, but you may wish to give it a once over for grammar etc, same for Critical Reception. Then the rest needs examining more closely.

WikiCup 2013 July newsletter
We're halfway through this year's penultimate round, and the competition is moving along well. Pool A's currently leads overall, while Pool B's  is second. Both leaders are WikiCup veterans, and both have already scored over 600 points this month. If the round were to end today,, with 274 points, would be the lowest-scoring participant to make it through. This indicates that participants will need a score comparable to last year's (573, the highest ever) to qualify for the final. The high scores this year are a testament both to the quality of participants and to the increased focus on significant content (eligible for bonus points) in this year's competition. So far this round, both Sasata and have made up over half of their score through bonus points, with, for example, high importance FA koala earning Sasata a total of 440 points (from a multiplier of 4.4) and high-importance GA sea earning Cwmhiraeth a total of 216 points (from a multiplier of 7.2). Other articles on important topics submitted this round include a featured article on the Norman conquest of England by, and good articles on Nobel laureate in literature Henryk Sienkiewicz, Nobel laureate in physics Hans Bethe, and the noted Japanese aircraft carrier Hiryū. These articles are by, and Sturmvogel_66 respectively.

 * , a WikiCup newcomer who has contributed on topics of military history and physics, including a number of high-importance topics. Good articles have made up the bulk of his points, but he has also scored a great deal of bonus points. He has the second highest score overall so far, with more than 3000 points accumulated.
 * , another WikiCup veteran who reached the finals in 2012, 2011 and 2010. He writes on a variety of topics including botany, mycology and astronomy, and has claimed the highest or joint highest number of featured articles every round so far this year. He has the third highest score overall, with just under 3000 points accumulated.
 * , 2012 WikiCup champion, who writes mostly on marine biology. She has also contributed to high-importance topics, seeing huge numbers of bonus points for high-importance featured and good articles. Previous rounds have seen her scoring the most bonus points, with scoring spread across did you knows, good articles and featured articles.
 * , a WikiCup veteran who finished in second place in 2012, and competed as early as 2009. He writes articles on biology, especially mycology, and has scored highly for a number of collaborations at featured article candidates.
 * , the winner of the 2010 competition. His contributions mostly concern Naval history, and he has scored a very large number of points for good articles and good article reviews in every round. He is the highest scorer overall this year, with over 3500 points in total.
 * , who is competing in the WikiCup for the second time, though this will be her first time in the final. A regular at FAC, she is mostly interested in British medieval history, and has scored very highly for some top-importance featured articles on the topic.
 * , a finalist in 2012 and 2011. He writes on a broad variety of topics, with many of this year's points coming from good articles about Star Trek. Good articles make up the bulk of his points, and he had the most good articles back in round 2; he was also the highest scorer for DYK in rounds 1 and 2.
 * 1) has previously been involved with the WikiCup, but hasn't participated for a number of years. He scores mostly from restoration work leading to featured picture credits, but has also done some article writing and reviewing.

We say goodbye to eight great participants who did not qualify for the final:, , , , , , ,. Having made it to this stage is still an excellent achievement, and you can leave with your heads held high. We hope to see you all again next year. Signups are now open for the 2014 WikiCup, which will begin on 1 January. All Wikipedians, whatever their interest or level of experience, are warmly invited to participate in next year's competition.

This last month has seen some incredible contributions; for instance, Cwmhiraeth's Starfish and Ealdgyth's Battle of Hastings—two highly important, highly viewed pages—made it to featured article status. It would be all too easy to focus solely on these stunning achievements at the expense of those participants working in lower-scoring areas, when in fact all WikiCup participants are doing excellent work. A mention of everything done is impossible, but here are a few: Last round saw the completion of several good topics (on the 1958, 1959 and 1962 Atlantic hurricane seasons) to which 12george1 had contributed. Calvin999 saw "S&M" (song), on which he has been working for several years, through to featured article status on its tenth try. Figureskatingfan continued towards her goal of a broad featured/good topic on Maya Angelou, with two featured and four good articles. ThaddeusB contributed significantly to over 20 articles which appeared on the main page's "in the news" section. Adam Cuerden continued to restore a large number of historical images, resulting in over a dozen FP credits this round alone. The WikiCup is not just about top-importance featured articles, and the work of all of these users is worthy of commendation.

Finally, the usual notices: If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Re:Hey
That's quite alright- I was very happy for you when I saw it had finally been promoted! I just wanted to highlight that it wasn't only the likes of Ealdgyth and Cwmhiraeth who were producing good work. I know we've not always agreed on certain editorial issues, but I certainly appreciate the work you've done for Wikipedia. Hope to see you in next year's Cup!

Let There Be Love
This was unexpected.... See -HERE  → Lil- ℧niquԐ 1 - {  Talk  } -  18:25, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm surprised but not shocked. I've been hearing rumours that this is a single for weeks on end now. It is an outstanding song, one of her best for sure, and definitely the best on Lotus. I could have done with a bit more of her in the video singing to the lyrics instead of so many people making L's with their finger and thumb lol. Nice concept though. The lyrics sound more sexual than the message in the video lol. —  ₳  aron  16:44, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Exactly. I loved this song when I heard it, so much more appeal than YB. Very surprised its not been properly released and to me its a sexual dancefloor filler not an empowering uplifting anthem. But hey its Xtina and she's obviously going for the "same love" effect. I won't complain. I just pray that she now releases the song fully with an uber hot EP (remixes and an acoustic version/piano/ballad version) and redeems Lotus cause genuinely Lotus was MILES better than Bionic.  → Lil- ℧niquԐ 1 - {  Talk  } -  18:36, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the remixes of Your Body are so much better than the original. I agree with everything you said. I'm not the biggest Christina fan or her now flawed voice, but this is a killer song. —  ₳  aron  20:33, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
 * if you get chance can you please have a look at "When Love Takes Over"? I think its almost FA-ready. I compared it to your "S&M" article and it doesn't look far off.  → Lil- ℧niquԐ 1 - {  Talk  } -  20:38, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that I'm the best person to ask for FAC advice (promoted on the tenth nomination and all) but I don't mind going through it for you? —  ₳  aron  20:41, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Erm I haven't nominated it yet but I'm sure with all your experience you'll pick up things I've missed. Its been through to FA once before but got declined because of the timing. At that time Legolas was helping me ... but we all know what happened there.  → Lil- ℧niquԐ 1 - {  Talk  } -  22:14, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
 * To be honest I don't really know what happened there. Something to do with faking Billboard refs? —  ₳  aron  22:19, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

He faked a whole load of Madonna book references amongst other "inflations".  → Lil- ℧niquԐ 1 - {  Talk  } -  15:09, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Gypsy and Aphrodite
Hi Aaron, I noticed you had taken up the reviews for "Aphrodite" and "Gypsy (Shakira song)". First of all, I want to thank you for reviewing so many of my ga nominations and I'm really grateful for that. Secondly, I wanted to know if you're planning to review them soon. I have exams coming up so hopefully you could review them soon before I get caught up. If you can't, well no problem I can wait, but please don't fail them if I don't respond quickly. Thanks again! :) --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 16:52, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes I will do all of them tonight. —  ₳  aron  17:10, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Wow thanks! --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 17:45, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
