Thats a whole list you've writen :P
 * 1) First about I'm Not Dead. I believe people are interrested in a good structure were they can read what they wanne read. If they want album information (and I believe that, that kind of information is about the songs and the history of its writing) the can go directly to that paragraph and the same for its reception. Some of them are just interrested in the numbers and charts and not about the album. To read such a long piece of text is I think "onhandy". And you point to the official wikipedia explaination, but I just don't agree. What do you say?
 * 2) Recources: Alot of people use http://pulsemusic.proboards48.com/ also as a reliable source in wikipedia pages. Because wikipedia isn't removing them I believe a same kind of site (uk message board) can then be used also. But I get you're point and I will, in the future, do it differently.
 * 3) Not Too Late/Thinking About You: I see were you're going and I understand it. Hadn't thought about it.
 * 4) References: mmm....I really don't get your piont. But if you want it that way, whatever. Alot of other wikipedia pages do it same as I did it. (Electric Storm89 13:24, 4 February 2007 (UTC))

Hilary Duff: Dignity article
Thanks for sorting out the track listings on the page recently, some "idiot" ruined the code and when I saw late last night had the page was missing. I reverted it as much as I could, it's good you tidied it up.

Te Busqué
I was going through the Juanes-related articles and saw your comment at Talk:Te Busqué. A lot of the articles on foreign language topics have inconsistent capitalizations, and WP:CAPS is either completely ambiguous or doesn't mention it at all, so I started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (capitalization). ShadowHalo 00:43, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I was wondering if you have any more input on the topic; I'd like to wrap this up and hopefully make any necessary changes. ShadowHalo 21:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Reaction
First± thank you again for that long list. Maybe if I give you a reaction you can give mé a reaction on my reaction. Thats confusing isn´t it :P. I will change I´m Not Dead if you please. But the structure of the page is in my believe good. Read what I have to say about that above. And thank you for deleting all the info I wrote, where I put a lot of time in. Really nice and really friendly.

And about the meaning of the songs. Just listen to the lyrics and you find out that thats the main subject. I wasn´t an opinion. (Electric Storm89 04:04, 11 February 2007 (UTC))

The use of an award win to describe a subject.
I've been tracking the "xxx-award winning yyy" issue on a few articles now, and I see that it's practically futile to try to make it any other way, unless we get the WikiProject Biography to help us. Every pop-culture related biography is written in that form. -- w L &lt;speak&middot;check&middot;chill&gt; 07:45, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Style question
I just noticed your edit on Call Me When You're Sober, where you converted all the numbers from numeral to written-out format. I have to ask why this was done...numbers over ten are acceptable as numerals in any circumstance. The MoS only says you are allowed to write them out if they are only two words, not that you must. I find your changes...curious. -- Huntster  T • @ • C 18:05, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your kind words, I appreciate them! I am not going to revert, I was just curious because I've never seen such a guideline before.  Thanks for the reply. --  Huntster  T • @ • C 00:30, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Response to With Love (song) and quotation marks
I responded on my talk page, I wrote this:

'':Sorry, my mistake. I should have paid more attention.''

I was doing some cleaning up of articles at the time. As I said above, I should have paid more attention to the quotes. Acalamari 21:15, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I'd Like To
Thanks for the information on the images thing as I've noticed them thoughout other articles and believed them to be OK. Does that mean you cannot put them under an "alternative covers" section then?

Thanks for your time

|TopopMAC1 TopopMAC1 23:42, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the information, it's been an issue that has confused be for a while, even after reading the guidelines.

There are multiple single covers for Corrine's other singles... some are in a gallery whereas others are in "alternative single covers"... I was wondering if the covers that are in the "alternative single covers" section are valid and if that is the case, whether the "I'd Like To" images could be added to a similar section in that article!

Thanks again for your time.

Date formats
Thanks for the feedback on my talk page about dates. I'm relatively new to WP and am still on the learning curve. Is there a standard format that we're supposed to use? I'm guessing that your comment was prompted by dates I added to reviews in album infoboxes. I was doing this work as part of the Album Project and on the project page, it says to use the date of the review as the label for the link, but says nothing about the format. When I solicited guidance on the project talk page about what format to use, I was first told that it hadn't been discussed. Then someone suggested using mm/dd/yy format for American albums and the dd/mm/yy format for others (I thought this would make things even more confusing and decided to ignore this suggestion). Then someone suggested using dd-Mmm-yy, where Mmm is the first three letters of the month. After that, I started using that format. Sanfranman59 00:10, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

oh yeah!! why u don't clean-up the x-tina's back to basics page?? this page have a god job for u —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hookerj (talk • contribs).

yes! but the page of back to basics possesss one table of singles that in the page of I'm Not Dead you simple destroyed. I think that you are making a mistake in destroying tables of the I'm Not Dead and not in back to basics. why the page of I'm Not Dead cannot have photos of singles as in back you basics?

absurd!!!! if you buy or not i don't care and other editors too, i have b2b but i don't ditroy the page of the album like u —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hookerj (talk • contribs).

Love. Angel. Music. Baby.
Love. Angel. Music. Baby. is currently a FAC, and several of the reviewers have stated that there's some POV in the article. I can't seem to find any, but my guess is that it's because I wrote nearly the entire article and have worked with it too much to judge neutrally. I need someone who hasn't worked with the article before to remove any traces of POV from the article; would you be willing to help do that? ShadowHalo 23:44, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

On a separate note, I deleted an unsourced image (probably fake) that uploaded and added to the 4 in the Morning article. I noticed the Gone Going (song) AfD and took a look at the user's contributions. I have a feeling this may be a sockpuppet. Take a look at ; you'll notice many of his contributions included adding Africa/Iceland singles to articles, a rather unlikely place to release a single. Based on this edit by Viven2, I have a feeling they may be the same user. Any ideas? ShadowHalo 07:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks and question
Howdy.... thanks very much for chiming in on this, I really appreciate it. I see now that it has been archived. Do you have any idea what this means? I have a feeling that with the amount of archived incidents that it is now in a permanent black hole and no one will ever investigate it. I've reverted some retarded TRL stuff from discography pages by that user (users?) so I have a suspicion my involvement with him is not finished. Any advice on how to recall someone's attention to it? What's your past experience with the incidents page? - eo 20:46, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Need You EM!
We currently seem to be having an issue with User_talk:Nwdavis. On the page Madonna discography, the user has deleted the warning boxes in the text to not shift albums around, this being, putting Madonna's I'm Breathless soundtrack into the album category since Madonna herself has stated, it's a soundtrack, not a "Madonna" album. This user has been warned by three different members now, and insists on overriding the warnings anyway. Could you please do something about this user so we may resolve this? I would be most appreciative. Herewego123 19:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Amy Winehouse - "In My Bed / You Sent Me Flying"
I was wondering why you had moved "In My Bed / You Sent Me Flying" to just "In My Bed" as a song when it is actually a double A-side single. There are MANY articles accross Wikipedia about double A-side singles and it makes more sense to have the articles combined instead of there being two seperate articles containing similar information. I'd be very grateful of an explanation, thank you! TopopMAC1 01:55, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Wikilinks in album articles
My reason for removing links to song articles that I have is because they weren't singles from that album, and the links to those songs might be on the article about the original studio album.

Yes I understand now. And I think info will be released on it in May. It'll either be released on a rerelease for Justin or on one if his b-sides.

Dsicography
the reason why i took that "featuring" info off is because the box is specifically for song names, by adding featuring info it makes the boxes bigger and extended, there is no reason to have that info on because it can also be found inside the main song articles 24.91.135.228 23:31, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

List of best-selling albums worldwide
You recently protected the Madonna Discography page from the rampant changes due to difference of opinion. I would appreciate your opinion on a similar issue I am having on List of best-selling albums worldwide. I have assisted and maintained this page for over 12 months ensuring that the data is referenced and as accurate as possible. Now I have a User UberCryxic who is continually changing the data, and not accepting any data provided. His main arguement is that this is "claims", so as long as referenced, it meets the critea (which is actually a true statement). But I dispute the links as not being as accurate, as reliable, as credible as those that already existed. I am asking you as an administrator, are you able to assist? Or is there a process that needs to occur before an Administrator takes command. 60.234.242.196 00:41, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

The link provided was a CNN transcript. This seems fairly reputable and news transcripts have been used in other similar articles. The main worry I have with what this user is trying to do is that he/she ia talking about "accuracy" and other such things relating to, well, truth. But Wikipedia does not take a stand on what is true or what is not. This is especially true for the article above, which conveys information that's not even widely reported. It just basically goes on claims. One or two claims for a certain number is basically the standard that applies when using a figure. Again, for this article only. As an experienced user in that article, the anon should be aware of this fact.UberCryxic 01:34, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Gypsy Woman
You are right, I didn't check the history and considered it "just a song", and album tracks by notable artists are generally considered not notable (hence the interpretation of A7). Your version did clearly assert notability: perhaps it is better merged anyway, but a speedy delete was wrong. I have restored the article and then put your last version again as the good one instead of the redirect. My apologies for this, and thanks for the civil explanation. Fram 19:31, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but
Yes, but the songs I redirected were not big enough to have their own articles. In fact maybe The Getaway shouldn't have it's own article because lack of interest and not very much on it. Supergirl on the other end has charted, whereas The Getaway did not. Plus, the other articles aren't big enough to have their own articles. Especially Dignity. I can see Gypsy Woman because of all the controversy, but seriously, do we need those extra pages about those songs? There's really nothing there. We can just make the Dignity album page longer by adding a spot that summarizes what was in those other pages. Extraordinary Machine, seriously: I don't need you telling me what I can't and can do. I know what I'm doing. We can keep the I Am page because it was a huge Radio Disney single. Well, please write back on thoughts and concerns. Tcatron565 23:48, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Supergirl charted in iTunes and I Am was played more than any other Radio Disney single from Hilary Duff. Plus, Gypsy Woman is a rumored 4th single. Now, I don't have a problem against that page. Just keepGypsy oman. But, please, not Dignity. There's not much info for Dignity. There's is more for Gypsy Woman. Tcatron565 00:33, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
