Spice Girls
Please do not add the "Tabloid and Press" section back to the Spice Girls article. Another editor removed it a few days ago with good reason; it is poorly worded and unencyclopedic. The article should focus on the Spice Girls achievements, not tabloid fodder which is usually false and has no place in Wikipedia. Thanks. Pinkadelica (talk) 20:15, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. ''Forums are not a reliable source. Please do not re-add any sales figures without an official source to back it up with.''  [Jam] [talk] 20:33, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Wannabe
The United World Chart page has no links that supports or states how they do or make those charts and countings. It is allegedly produced and hosted by a German company called "Media Traffic", and a quick Google search on the company turned up no evidence that it is widely used or trusted. Plus the article was deleted from Wikipedia because no third-party sources could support its notability.

Bad charts
Please do not add the United World Chart, any Filipino chart, or any other chart listed in WP:BADCHARTS, to any Wikipedia article, as you did here. If you want to remerge those rows that were merged, I won't stop you, even though I wish you wouldn't: it makes removing charts more difficult.&mdash;Kww(talk) 18:13, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

semi-protection
Just putting the semi-protection macro into an article doesn't really do anything. It puts the picture of the lock on, but IPs can still edit the article.

If you really want to semi-protect an article, you have to request it at Kww(talk) 20:02, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Spice Girls
If you believe Para Ti is reliable, you need to post it at Reliable sources/Noticeboard. I personally could not find any information on the said magazine. For the time being I'm replacing it with Billboard which has only Platinum for Argentina.--Harout72 (talk) 15:37, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

"Para Ti" Magazine is from the editorial "Argentine Televisa", Televisa is the most realiable sources in Latin America. For something logic, The 1997 edition is not complete full view, but the preview said in spanish: doble platino en la Argentina con 140.000 unidades. Is not easy found the sales from 80's or 90's albums from countries like Argentine in internet, that source said the exact sales. Hope you change again.

 * I think we'd better stick to Billboard as it's clearer.--Harout72 (talk) 16:32, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

FAC input
Hi! Since you're a regular contributor to music articles, would you be interested in commenting or reviewing my FAC for the article xx (album)? It's received one editor's comments but not much follow-up yet, so anything would be appreciated. Dan56 (talk) 03:39, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

List of best-selling girl groups
Hi, as you created this article in the first place, I assume you have been following the discussion on the talk page about it. Personally I think it is a bit of a mess and very difficult to keep accurate, but as a first step we have decided we are going to combine the physical and digital sales lists, as it makes no sense to separate them and it is impossible to say how many sales of, for example, the Spice Girls are physical and how many are digital. I think there should also be a cut-off limit of at least 10 million sales in order to qualify for the table, because below this level it becomes more difficult to find accurate sources. Do you have any comments to make about these suggestions? Richard3120 (talk) 17:25, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi again, I'm baffled by your recent edits to the US albums sales figures. I know about those figures from Yahoo Music and the rest, but those are clearly just the Nielsen SoundScan figures – once you add in the sales from music clubs that's what takes them up to the figures that match the certifications. So actually the lower figures aren't the true sales. Richard3120 (talk) 03:06, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

List of best-selling girl groups page is being controlled by a user named Richard3120
This guy has been editing the information about the Spice Girls' and Andrew Sister's respective sales. According to Billboard, the Spice Girls sold more than 85 million records worldwide. On the other hand, the Andrew Sisters sold 80 million. Richard keep on editing the sales and claiming that the latter sold more than 90 million records because The Washington Post wrote an article about it in 2014.

Billboard's latest figure for Andrew Sisters was in 2013, which states, "They recorded more than 400 songs and sold over 80 million records, several of them going gold (over a million copies)." Meanwhile, Billboard's latest article about the Spice Girls states, "Formed in 1994, the Spice Girls have sold more than 85 million records worldwide, making them the most successful female British pop group in history."

Billboard is more reliable than The Washington Post when it comes to tracking sales. Richard is not listening. He keeps on undoing our edits to fit his narrative. Can you block him from editing the article? Thanks.
