Hey Gbuvn, Linkin Park's two most recent singles Wastelands and Rebellion's release dates on the hunting party page are wrong. Wastelands was released June 1st, and Rebellion was released June 3rd. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bkeeney97 (talk • contribs) 13:38, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
 * It was released for sale on Monday (Wastelands) and Tuesday (Rebellion). --Gbuvn (talk) 14:52, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

The fact that it has charted, that fact that it was released by iTunes does not mean anything! There is no official position by their label and no member of the band has commented anything about it! So, it's not a single! Please, familiarize yourself with the project! Coltsfan (talk) 15:34, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

 * It's still not sufficient! It's just like the song "Blackbirds"! "Blackbirds", from the 8-Bit Rebellion! game, was realeased as a promotional single also, but it's not on their discography because it's just promotional! They recorded the song ("Rolling in the Deep") at the festival and the iTunes is realeasing the song on their website upon it's success. But that does not mean that it's a official Linkin Park single! And secondly, according to your own source, it was realeased only in the UK and in Ireland! So it's not a single! It's noteworthy, but it shoud not be on their discography! Coltsfan (talk) 15:47, 14 July 2011 (UTC)


 * "Burning in the Skies" was more than 1 month after the the internationanal release not on the discography!And a UK and Ireland single release isn't an official single??? --Gbuvn (talk) 15:51, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

"Burning in the Skies" received official support by their label! Again, I cite as an example the song "Blackbirds" that it was also realeased as a promotional single and it was also realeased only by iTunes, but it's ALSO not on their discography! And the fact that it was released in UK and Ireland it's noteworthy, definitely! But it's not a single in the US, it's not a single in UK, it's not a single in Ireland! There is a difference between a promotional single and a actual single! Again, it's noteworthy, but it should not be on their discography in the section As lead artist! You can mention it as a "note" or something like that! But as a lead single, no! It's not accurate! Coltsfan (talk) 16:02, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Ok.--Gbuvn (talk) 16:14, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

I added it as digital single in the UK and in Ireland. You can't say that's not ok, because "Runaway" wasn't released as official single too.--Gbuvn (talk) 18:56, 14 July 2011 (UTC)


 * You're right! "Runaway" should not be there! But "We Made It" its as single, alright! Coltsfan (talk) 15:48, 15 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, it's not just up to the two of us. That's a featured list. We can't make any big changes in it without any consensus with other users. Songs that (either they being singles or not) have charted in any notable charts around the world have been moved to the "other charted songs" section. "Lost in the Echo" and "Powerless" have been released as official singles and they have achieved sufficient notability (especially vast media coverage) to even have articles of their own here on Wikipedia. They're not just promotional singles. They are regarded as officials singles from the album. "Blackbirds" although is, in fact, a promotional single, have not achieved sufficient notability or (media) coverage as "Lying from You" did. This song even has a music video. It was officially released as a promotional single from Meteora. "Blackbirds" it's pretty much just a song that has been released via iTunes. But if you wanna propose any changes, I suggest that you make it so on the article's Talk page and wait for other users to give their opinion. Right? Glad I could help.

False positions
Please don't introduce false positions by doing your own arithmetic on chart positions. The positions on the Bubbling Under charts do not correspond to extended positions on the corresponding chart. As per WP:Record charts, indicate a bubbling under position by marking the song as uncharted, with a dash, and use a footnote for the Bubbling Under position if you think it is important enough to mention.&mdash;Kww(talk) 19:30, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

May 2017
Per your edit to One More Light, if another user has been reverted after adding content, it's not free for all to restore their edits if that contribution has already been removed by multiple editors. Look through the history; including here. It's been removed before. You want the change; you get consensus per WP:BRD. Open a discussion on the talk page arguing for its inclusion. That's how it works.  Ss 112  23:18, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Also, "other albums have it too" is not a reason for inclusion. Generally, content stays out of an article until it can be agreed on. Not all album articles have to include the same material. The singles and songs have articles now; the peaks are included on those. Album articles are moving away from including wikitables for singles, and ones that do include them are having them removed all the time. Anyway, please don't edit war over your changes. Jax added the peaks originally; they were then removed multiple times. Warring over this is bordering on disruption.  Ss 112  23:28, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The only consensus I can see is what other articles do. As long as you don't explicitly build a different consensus from that I can't see why your version is supposed to be the right one. Your version has been reverted as often as the other one. Open the discussion and explain your point but s long as you don't, it makes more sense to do what has been done before. --Gbuvn (talk) 23:33, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
 * What other articles do is not a "consensus"; this is a separate article, and if you/other users want the change (from the way the article was originally, without singles peaks added) here, please open a discussion per WP:BRD. It's not "my" version; it's the version of the page before the wikitable was included.  Ss 112  23:36, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
 * That's a ridiculous claim. Any content wasn't there before someone added it. As long as you don't bring in proper explanations why that relevant content has to be removed, there is no reason to do so. You could just as well remove the track listing and claim that nobody built a consensus for that in this specific article. Those tables contain information that dicographies can't provide because they are restricted to a certain number of different charts so it's not redundant. --Gbuvn (talk) 23:44, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
 * It's not "ridiculous", because as I just said, content not agreed upon should not be included until it can be agreed on/have a consensus reached on it. The preceding version before the disputed content is maintained. Nobody should disagree with the track listing, but it has happened before, just like sometimes genres and release dates are omitted entirely until they can be agreed upon. Also, as i just pointed out, the songs have articles. You can put the charts on there. Anyway, this isn't the place to discuss it. Users wanting changes to the preceding version should discuss on the talk page. If you don't want to, that's up to you. But please don't edit war over it or dispute how BRD works, otherwise the page will probably be protected due to a content dispute, and I don't think that would be best.

Wintersun charts
Hi Gbuvn,

In the section Wintersun, the reference for the chart position of The Forest Seasons in the US Heat does not work. I noticed that you added it in September (this edit).

I tried to fix the problem, and I found the page for Wintersun on billboard.com, but it is empty. Could you please check the reference and the value?

DragonOfWisdom (talk) 10:18, 6 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi, That is odd indeed, however the chart page and the numbers do exist (actually, now I see, another album is listed at Billboard 200 and Billboard Heat as well). However, I'm not sure how to fix the reference. Maybe put in a manual reference?--Gbuvn (talk) 11:32, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Slovene chart
Could you add a PoS line to this chart? Braganza (talk) 12:18, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, I was going to update the chart, but I'm unsure how to handle the fact that some pollsters still count the member parties separately. Should we
 * a) End the SLS line in May 2021 and start a new PoS line which only includes polls with PoS and ignore polls that count SLS and ACZS separately
 * b) End the SLS line in May 2021 and start a new PoS line which includes all polls by adding up the SLS and ACZS numbers
 * c) Have a single line called "SLS / PoS" which includes all polls and starts adding up SLS + ACZS at some point
 * d) Include all polly exactly as they are presented and have concurrent SLS and PoS lines from May 2021 to present?
 * Personally, I feel there are drawbacks with all of the possible methods. If some pollsters also continue to give separate numbers for Concretely after they joined PoS, the same question also applies to Concretely. --Gbuvn (talk) 15:52, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * (i would personally prefer c) but) i guess d) would be the most accurate one (but without the last Mediana poll without PoS from 29 Nov–2 Dec 2021). This template made it similar. Braganza (talk) 08:18, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Österreich Bundespräsidentenwahl 2022
Hallo Gbuvn,

kannst du bitte bei der engl. Seite eine neue Umfrage-Tabelle einfügen, nur mit Walter Rosenkranz als FPÖ-Kandidat ? Und auch ohne Tassilo Wallentin, der gestern der FPÖ abgesagt hat. Wallentin könnte zwar als unabhängiger Kandidat immer noch ins Rennen gehen, aber solange nichts genaues bekannt ist, bitte nicht einfügen (außer, er wird bei einer Umfrage mit abgefragt). Die alten Umfragen hab ich archiviert und versteckt. Danke. Glasperlenspieler (talk) 03:18, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Wenn du willst, kannst du auch auf der deutschen Seite eine neue Tabelle einfügen. Danke. Glasperlenspieler (talk) 03:20, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Verstecken wäre, denke ich, nicht unbedingt nötig gewesen, zumal es ja noch keine anderen Umfragen gibt. Ansonsten würde ich die neue Tabelle einfügen sobald eine erste Umfrage auftaucht, denn eine leere Tabelle sähe etwas seltsam aus. Zudem sehen wir dann auch, wer in die neue Tabelle gehört (wie du sagst, bei Wallentin ist es noch unklar). --Gbuvn (talk) 18:22, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Hallo Gbuvn, zumindest bei Artikel über amerik. Wahlen werden hypothetische alte Umfragetabellen immer archiviert und ausgeblendet. Auch wenn es noch keine neuen Umfragen gibt. Es sollte aber nicht mehr lange dauern bis eine erste Umfrage mit Rosenkranz als offiziellen FPÖ-Kandidaten erscheint. Dann kann man auch Wallentin einfügen, oder eben nicht. Und dasselbe dann auf der deutschen Seite. Glasperlenspieler (talk) 03:11, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Graphical summary
Hi Gbuvn. My name is Jurajec6 and I am user involved mainly in the Slovak politics. I saw that you uploaded a great graphical summary for the next German parliamentary elections. The article with polls for the next Slovak parliamentary election currently lacks such a graphical summary. Since I'm not experienced in creating and editing graphs outside of Wikipedia, I can't change it. But I really like your work. So I just wanted to say and ask if you could create a similar one for Slovakia if you were bored, or at least give us your know-how.

Best regards! Jurajec6 (talk) 22:24, 19 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Jurajec6,
 * Generally I would prefer if as many people as possible edit upload LOESS graphs, since there are still many pages without such graphs. I would encourage you to try my template (Gitlab), there is more or less a step by step description of how to recreate the graph. You can always ask if there is a problem or something is unclear.

File:OpinionPollingItalyGeneralElection2022.svg
Oops sorry for the delay, I missed this comment as I have been busy with RL issues as of lately (nothing big, just summer doing summer things). Yes, the trend line smoothness is a bug that I am unable to solve. It looks like the R script can only support up to 1,000 data lines in the attached Excel file; beyond that, it stills makes the graphics, but the smoothness becomes unresponsive and no longer subject to the pre-determined values. As a matter of fact, I have not changed the spansize parameter (which is still at 0.2, which worked well before).

Currently, Italy's field chart spans way beyond 1,000 lines of data because of the vast amount of polls conducted. This is the first time I have seen something like this (for instance, the Spanish chart, which relies on the second largest datafile I work on as of currently, is about 500 data lines as of currently, which at the current pace means it will probably keep well below 1,000 until the next election, even if held in late 2023). Not sure if there is a way to fix this.  Impru 20 talk 18:08, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No, what I meant is that once the datafile reaches 1,000 lines, the spansize parameter stops working and the chart gives a very smooth trend by default (equivalent to a very high spansize value), whatever the spansize value you use.
 * I'm aware that the spansize must be reduced the more data you add (that's what I apply for other charts), but for Italy's chart there is so much data that R just doesn't recognize it anymore. I tested it by trying changing it to both very high and very low spansize values yet it still results in the same smoothness.  Impru 20 talk 13:18, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Looks like that was exactly the issue. I have managed to fix it by implementing your suggestion. Thanks!  Impru 20 talk 14:23, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Hallo Gbuvn,

mittlerweile stehen alle 7 Kandidaten fest, 4 weiteren wird wahrscheinlich noch eine Nachfrist zur Sammlung der 6000 Unterschriften bis Dienstag Mitternacht gewährt (aber wohl keiner davon wird es schaffen). Am Mittwoch oder Donnerstag werden die Kandidaten dann offiziell bekannt gegeben. Daher meine Bitte: kannst du am Donnerstag, wenn die nächste Lazarsfeld-Umfrage rauskommt, die derzeitigen Tabellen in der deutschen und engl.

Frage zu https://gitlab.com/gbuvn1/opinion-polling-graph/
Hallo,

ich schaue häufiger deine Grafiken auf zum Beispiel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_next_German_federal_election an. Ich habe auch dein git repo angesehen und das ist echt eine praktische Kiste. Was mich interessiert ist wie du aus der Wikipediatabelle diese csv Datei herausziehst. Oder kopierst du alles einzeln? Bei manchen Seiten würde ich durchaus ab und zu auch selbst das Bild updaten, wenn das okay wäre für dich :)

Grüße, Sebastian

Ichhoffe das ist die richtige ARt dir zu schreiben, blicke da bei WIkipedia leider nicht durch... Seschubert (talk) 07:38, 4 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hallo Sebastian,
 * dieser Teil ist leider tatsächlich der mühseligste beim Aktualisieren. Ich kopiere meistens einfach die Tabelle in ein Excel-Sheet und lösche die überflüssigen Zeilen/Spalten. Wenn die Daten bereinigt sind, kopiere ich erst mal nur die Datumsspalte in einen Texteditor (in diesem Falle Notepad++) und passe das Format mit Suchen/Ersetzen an. Mit dem Ausdruck  z.B. kann man das erstgenannte Datum auswählen und löschen, danach muss man halt noch in Spaltenbearbeitungsweise das Datumsformat anpassen. Dann kommen die bereinigten Datumsangaben erst wieder zurück ins Excel und dann wieder alles nach Notepad. Die Spaltengrenzen werden als Tabulatoren dargestellt und können mit   ausgewählt und in Kommas geändert werden.
 * Beim Aktualisieren der Grafiken empfehle ich zudem, regelmässig den  Parameter leicht nach unten zu korrigieren, da die Glättung der Kurven ohne entsprechende Anpassung durch das Hinzufügen von Datenzeilen jedes Mal verstärkt wird. Deshalb ist es auch notwendig, für Parteien, die weniger Umfragedaten ausweisen, einen separaten, höheren Parameterwert zu wählen.
