United Abominations
Hey, would you mind reviewing at Peer review/United Abominations/archive2? I wan't it for FA. Good luck on Irreplacable. Thanks, Burningclean  [speak]  01:06, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

 * You are!!! How many song articles have you rewritten? I saw your reply, I changed the minor things you posted. I'm working on Metallica discography right now, it's a beast! Why don't you work on the article for Beyonce? Thanks btw. Cheers, Burningclean  [speak]  01:53, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm working on more than just two. I'm also working on Megadeth discography and Guns N' Roses discography. Burningclean  [speak]  02:03, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Good luck to you too. I'm clueless as on how to rewrite song articles. I'm pretty good with bands and discogs. Burningclean  [speak]  02:08, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not really motivated to do songs anyway. If I was, another problem for me would be to find enough info for it (I listed to alot of undergroundish stuff). Burningclean  [speak]  02:12, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

FA
Hey, congrats on the FA! Sorry that I wasn't able to lend my support in time, I have barely been online the past week -but you did adress all of my concerns. The article looks much better now, keep up the good work and let me know if you need any reviewing in the future. Skeletor2112 (talk) 04:49, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Beyonce Baby Boy.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Beyonce Baby Boy.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Do you know when is today? MOJSKA  666  (msg) 11:17, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * He he... I wasn't believe that somebody thoughts me. It's impossible that somebody blocks Saint Sandy :P MOJSKA   666  (msg) 11:21, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Certain, Beyoncé is a good singer, but this isn't the meaning of my vote. Simply, it's well-written and well-referenced. Bye, MOJSKA   666  (msg) 11:31, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Because I vote in a part for the protagonist or because I don't leave comments? I don't leave comments because the only comment is well-referenced, well-written, complete etc. Good luck for the next FAC about another Beyoncé's disc. MOJSKA   666  (msg) 11:37, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Ivatan people
I'll try to help.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 15:19, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay I think it is ready for DYK now. I'll leave the hook to you. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 16:13, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

The blog is from the Philippine Daily Inquirer so I think it is reliable. Besides, we need all the sources we can get. By the way I added myself as a nom in the hook (which I think is ok). (I won't be credited for my edits if I didn't).-- Lenticel  ( talk ) 07:46, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I see that you have nominated it for GA. Hopefully it will be promoted. Just tell me if it gets on hold. I know we have bled the internet dry but perhaps we can bleed it more should the article fail to pass the GA reviewer's scrutiny.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 10:25, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright! Hey I'll add a tag in "articles I helped with" again-- Lenticel ( talk ) 05:05, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey
Hey regarding that peer review for thriller, it was a complete mistake, see the page you just edited, i left a message there, please help us, we dont want a peer review. Realist2 (talk) 03:10, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I see you have done a peer review, oh, he's a silly man, oh we dont want a peer review, he never new that you could have both at once, once i told him this he took it off the talk page. Close the peer review and add those suggestions to the review. Oh i am very sorry this has been a complete mis understanding, Realist2 (talk) 03:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah i did hours ago, he must have gone to bed. Ill make sure he does, put please add your thoughts to the FA review, we are sorry again. Realist2 (talk) 03:27, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

OK i gave him a second message to take it down, when he's awake he will, Realist2 (talk) 03:32, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I believe have have completed your list for the thriller album FA review, i wouls appreciate your further imput. Realist2 (talk) 01:32, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

OK ive made a lot of chances, the proportonality has shifted back in the right away, is there anything else that is annoying to you personally. Realist2 (talk) 06:59, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

It wont happen, i tried to keep them seperate but consensus was against me. There was a long 6 week debate over it, so cant go back against it now. I knew if they were merged it would be harder to get FA and i knew Thriller 25 would get treated like shit and stuff would have to be deleted. Its achieved as much as most studio albums and gets religated to the bottom of the Thriller page, never mind. Realist2 (talk) 07:47, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Ha, na im not sticking around, ive made 8500 edits in 10 months but im not interested anymore. Take the first reviewer, i resolved all his points, i asked him if he had anything more to complain about to please feel free to speak up, he never replied, but even though i resolved his issues he didnt endorse the FA. If you cant see any problems it should be ok. Then another editer said fail but we've had arguments in the past, he must have jumped into the sky when he saw i put Thriller up. Then you have another reviewer saying talk about his wierd cloths, his eccentric behaviour. Please give me a break. But your review was fine and at least your upfront and helpful. Realist2 (talk) 07:12, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Thriller 25 is like an article of its own, they should never have been merged, it makes it have to confusing. Realist2 (talk) 07:37, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

I would have no idea, your more than welcome to try it yourself, ill look at it and see if i can pull myself to accept it. Realist2 (talk) 08:14, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Ill look into it, i believe ive done everything on your check list now. Realist2 (talk) 09:41, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

I have removed the nomination, i thank you for your involvement, out of all the reviewers you were by far the best. Realist2 (talk) 22:06, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

I am going to get it through FA, first im going to get a peer review, get it copy edited, wait a week for those reviewers to move on and renominate it with the views of fresh reviewers. Once its up to FA, im outta here. If you ever see any errors in the article please correct them, thankyou, and i apologise for wasting your time on the review, maybe when the peer review is set up you will like to add your thoughts. Realist2 (talk) 01:52, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I will let you know when its up, ive posted a message asking some1 to do it for me as i fing requesting a peer review difficult, she will get to it when she's next on wiki. Realist2 (talk) 02:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

ok it sounds like a plan, by the way, brit, beyone, but where's Janet? Realist2 (talk) 02:20, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Lol, you like britney and beyonce which is ace but you need miss janet in there as well! ;-) Im gonna complete the stuff from the review now so that it dont need copying to the peer review. If your not busy and you wanna get a peer review done out the way, we could just start it now. Realist2 (talk) 02:26, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah she isnt big outside america and japan but she has more talent than most. Do whatever you can, just setting up the PR and jotting a few things down will really help. Realist2 (talk) 02:34, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey the peer review has been set up. Contribute here. cheers. Realist2 (talk) 06:01, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I look forward to hearing from you. Realist2 (talk) 06:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Hum it appears that we are at a cross roads, i wont be able to go an further unless T25 can have its own page. If T25 can have its own page i will be more than happy to continue. Realist2 (talk) 08:02, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

It will be reverted, the person who successfully argued it should be merged was an admin. Realist2 (talk) 08:06, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I have spoked to the admin who eventually got it merged here. Hopefully you can persuade him its for the best to give T25 its own page. If i can be promised it will have a secure sole article ill do everything you want with the bits that should stay on Thriller. As long as the content of T25 is protected somewhere you can 2 lines or 3 paragraphs of T25 on the Thriller page for all i care, im happy to agree then. Before we continue i think we need to sort something out with T25. Please speak to the admin. My feeling is, if we keep them seperate we can have 2 FA articles but together they make just 1 GA article. Realist2 (talk) 17:42, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Additionally check out the peer review page. Realist2 (talk) 18:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

OK ok I have a plan. Im going to leave the content of T25 as it is. However im going to make a summary of it on my sandbox. We will do the FA review with the full content of T25. If the reviewers decide it only needs a summary, i will delete all of T25, give it its own page, and add my sandbox summary to the Thriller article. The swop will take like 5 minutes, the reviewers will be SHOCKED at how quickly i do it. That way hopefully it can pass with all the content. For now i will make the summary getting you to check it and finish completing the other things you put on the PR check list. Realist2 (talk) 17:20, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

OK ive completed the PR checklist and here is the summary. Feel free to add more stuff to the PR list and check my summary to see if its ok. Like i said above, we will leave T25 as it is and follow this plan if needs be. Realist2 (talk) 19:37, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

OK ive rearranged and bulked up the lead and cut down the list of countries (havent touched the T25 stuff yet for obvious reasonse). Realist2 (talk) 08:01, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

US
In AusEng, it's almost universal to do the up-to-date thing and lose the dots. Only Americans (not all of them) persist in t.h.i.s. ou.tlan.dish prac.tice, which is less stylish. Yet they write USA and USAF. Go figure. Tony  (talk)  02:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey
Hey noticed your online, im not going to scream at you for editing my talk page message, i noticed you reverted that airplay chart, ive had a problem with that editer myself today, he's a nuisance and will spam your talk page. Ok what do you think of the summary and my master plan? Realist2 (talk) 05:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah its easy to source, it just need the structure finalised first. There is something i would like to talk to you about regarding wikipedia, can i contact you by email.Realist2 (talk) 05:29, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

If you have more to add to the PR please do. Realist2 (talk) 06:02, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

I know, i reaslised that music videos are themselves part of the legacy, and that the music videos and racial issue's should go together as they as linked strongly. Then i thought oh what the hell, lets put critical and commerical together. I shuffled paragraphs and pictures around and now it makes sense. We can get Thriller 25 sorted today, if people will allow it to have its own page, i dont mind what you do with it here on Thriller. Realist2 (talk) 12:25, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

The Thriller peer review
God that was one extended fist-fight; it was a good idea to close it. Do you want me to peer review/ce anything of yours? I'll try to do what I can. When will you be working/nominating on your two failed FACs again? They just needed a polishing of the prose. indopug (talk) 05:30, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * One thing that stands out is Background and writing: "I like her music", "I have always listened to his records" ugh. I think you can replace it with "They decided to collaborate because of mutual admiration for each other's work." That section is kinda short and stubby too, anything more on the recording process? I'll review the rest of it for content, structure and comprehensiveness tonight. indopug (talk) 05:46, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah I saw that, thanks for backing me on the lead issue. I think those screenshots will probably go though. Talking of screenshots you may want to remove those four clubbed together images, because it might imply more fair-use concern. By any chance, did you get it off the singer's/label's official website? Other wise I think it should definitely go. indopug (talk) 05:50, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Get a normal screenshot of the music video (like you see on anywhere else) rather than four clubbed together in one pic. indopug (talk) 05:57, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Normally you hit the Print screen video and paste it in MS Paint. Whatever is on the screen gets saved as a picture. However this doesn't capture movies on the screen (at least for me). I'll see if there's a software that lets you do that. indopug (talk) 06:06, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Eureka! I figured it out...(hope you don't mind me placing Dizfreak's comments in a separate section) Ping me for any clarifications. indopug (talk) 06:43, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Open Windows Media Player (WMP)
 * 2) Click the Tools menu
 * 3) Click Options
 * 4) Click the Performance tab
 * 5) Slide the video acceleration to none.
 * 6) Click OK
 * 7) Play the video (at a small size so that the resolution looks good) and at the moment you want the pic press "print section" (near the page up key on a desktop keyboard, in between the alphabet section and the numpad)
 * 8) Go to MS paint. Click Edit, then paste.
 * 9) Using the "Select" tool select the part you want, and cut (Ctrl + X) it.
 * 10) Open a new file on Paint and paste it. And there you go.
 * Why don't you move the parts of your sandbox work that is obviously an improvement back to the Beyonce article? No reason that a way better version of an article should be hidden away from from most people rather than article-space. indopug (talk) 08:26, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Why not cut out her face from this pic for the infobox? Get rid of the big list of interviews from the external links, trim down the discography to just the studio albums, and I think you can drastically cut down on the information (esp charting info) in the prose: no need to mention how every single did in every market. The article is a little too long and can be cut down a lot in many places. Publishers in the refs need to be genralised; MTV intead of MTV News (I think no italics, check the wiki article) etc... indopug (talk) 13:36, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Get rid of the merge proposal at the top of the article. indopug (talk) 13:37, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Thriller PR and future
Glad it was closed. Thanks so much for the heads up on the closed Peer Review. I was not aware of it being closed as I had been checking on the article today when I had time while I was at work. As for the userboxes, so sorry about that. It was simply a colon in place of a pipe in my code. I am still getting used to my smaller laptop computer. Good job on keeping your cool with this PR.--DizFreak talk Contributions 06:13, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Not sure if you have my talk on watch so replying here. I will be more than happy to help you if you choose to work on this article. I'm not an MJ fan, but want to get those articles up to par because they are important to music history. As for the PR failing, it didn't have a chance. The editor had brought this up for a FA in this condition less than two weeks ago and had trouble taking criticism then. --DizFreak talk Contributions 06:30, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Realist2 has been unblocked and is editing away. In fact, they reverted my edits within 3 minutes. I'm not going to get into an edit war so unless you want to take this to admin for COI or another issue (2 are stronger than 1), I will move on for now, which is a shame as I really wanted to finally clean this article up.--DizFreak talk Contributions 16:54, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

What, im working in the best interest of the article, i work hard, we just need to come to a compromise, is there maybe a place us three can talk together. Realist2 (talk) 16:56, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Great news, me and Disneyfreak have come to a compromise. I will accept his T25 summary (its basically that summary i made but trimmed down some more), and we will give T25 its own page again. Its all been agreed at the Thriller talk page and even a bunch of other editers have agreed to it. I would appreciate your final name added to it as a stamp of approval and that we get on with it. It seems like the most peaceful, fair way of doing things. Im a little gutted that there wont be much info on T25 at the Thriller article put im prepared to let it go with this compromise. Realist2 (talk) 00:39, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanx, i left another message at the talk page, i believe all key players are in support. Shall we go ahead? I think we are the only ones online, we could do it now? Realist2 (talk) 00:57, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I will soon, i have things to take care of, friends to say goodbye to and proimises that need forfilling first. Could you move it to a new page, ive never made a new page before and i dont intend to start now. Thanx for closing the PR, it was getting stilly, we have made so much progress in the last few hours, you made a good call. Realist2 (talk) 01:05, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


 * -) Realist2 (talk) 02:48, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

OK ive added it back in, i put the parts in there relevant sections instead as a single blob. Can you look if you like this, if you do ill start adding the sources back. Realist2 (talk) 02:57, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

OK its all done, Realist2 (talk) 03:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

T25
OH man, thanx so much but you dont have to help with T25, you done enough for me already. ;-) Realist2 (talk) 05:26, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I dont want to over streach you, the mother article is the main priority, but i like what you have done. Realist2 (talk) 05:38, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I have done the critical reaction section. Could you check it, spelling, grammer etc. Its not too long so should be to hard. Also, is there a need to source it? The info box has all the reviews there, seems wierd to source it when its right above. Realist2 (talk) 07:02, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok i will do, i just wasnt sure if there was a rule on that, cheers, i thought you had knocked off for the day. Realist2 (talk) 11:24, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Cool, aside from the sources, do you think the critical part is indepth enough? Realist2 (talk) 11:27, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

No i read and take note. However before archiving i always trim out junk stuff so my archives look nicer, i have fewer of them and things are easier to find. ;-)

Also i aint heard from disneyfreak in days. Has he given up on Thriller? Maybe i should press forward on it without him. Realist2 (talk) 03:55, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

case citations
Those citations are case citations, which is the standard way for citing to court decisions. (It's obviously very different than citing any other type of document. Cases are normally cited in bluebook format, at least in the US.) There is a template Cite court but the page says it's experimental and advises against using it. I would say you should just leave them typed out. I added wikilinks to the relevant parts of the case citation article, so people know what all the funny numbers mean, but you could take those out if you'd like. Mangostar (talk) 03:54, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Beyonce Knowles
Hi Efe, Who is they suggested it be removed? That section was actually there before I began editing the article. The only part I had added was about the marriage, which kept being removed and I understand that. I still do not understand why the entire personal life section is being removed. Every artist has a personal life section. We would need to go to every artists page and delete them. There needs to be a happy medium here somewhere. Everyone should have the right to contribute tasteful opinions and not have them removed and mercilessly edited by someone just because he or she feels their opinion is the only one that counts or that they are the authority on this person's life. This is what is the beauty of Wikipedia. For example the parts about the controversy will need to be deleted. No one really know what happended to former memebers of the group except the group members. The only "references" that exist are media speculations. Do you understand where I am coming from?Aresa (talk) 12:32, 18 April 2008 (UTC) Lastly,what relevancy does her supposedly digitally altered skin tone play in her image. There is no proof to that. Yet my comments about her documented personal life keep being removed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahatter1981 (talk • contribs) 12:38, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
