I will try all I can to get the article to FA. While I do that, please try to address the problems promptly so as to give it the best chance. After you've addressed the issues, I will ping the opposers and ask them to have a look over the article again. We can do this --Sp33dyphil © • © 09:56, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

IRC invitation
Hi Jivesh boodhun! I'm not sure if you're aware of it, but I'd just like to inform you that there is an online webchat room where you can socialise and find help with experienced editors and myself. The room is at #wikipedia-en; a few people hang around there, so if you're interested, please come along. For more information, please see WP:IRC.

If you don't want to reveal your IP address on, you have to create a cloak. --Sp33dyphil © • © 10:30, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Left some comments although you must have seen them. The article is well-shaped, far better than that S*M nomination and this really has a chance at passing.

Loud
I know you aren't really into rihanna albums, but i feel others users are not erm, in the mood to talk. if you catch my drift. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loud_%28Rihanna_album%29#Singles_2 see the place where it shows the singles? like in the discography? not all riri articles have it. i feel it should be either taken away or one should be added to all rihanna album articles. Your opinion? Ben • Talk That Talk 2me 15:58, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
 * In time Ben, in time. There is no deadline. (Oooh that rhymes!) Calvin  &bull; Watch  n'  Learn 17:11, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Second opinion
Hi Jivesh, are you online? Could I ask you for a second opinion of something? — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  20:08, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

 * No. Simply because it is a promotional single. I am sure there is nothing more that can be added. Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 20:13, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Watch the Throne
An editor insists on removing "Lift Off" as a single from Watch the Throne, using this explanation. Would you like to comment there?

"Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)"
A prose issues I came across: — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  20:46, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * "Knowles said that she wanted a simple video, which was shot without different camera shots and cuts, without alterations to hairstyles, costumes, sets or lighting." Can this be reworded to remove one of the "without"s?
 * Please check. Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 04:33, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Jivesh and Penguin, that's rather a confusing sentence.I suggest the following: "Knowles said that she wanted a simple video; it was therefore filmed without alternative camera shots and cuts, or changes to hairstyles, costumes, sets and lighting." I hope my interpretation is correct, feel free to ignore me otherwise, guys. :-) Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 07:32, 5 December 2011 (UTC)


 * We will never ignore your comments simply because you are one of the best. Someone already fixed that sentence but please check it if possible. Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 07:34, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you *blushes* :-) The new version looks less confusing. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 07:46, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

I think I've already told you that I don't have facebook. And I will work on the articles in your sandboxes (if you let me do that). My love is love (talk) 19:18, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't have the album although I downloaded all of the songs separately. But I'm sure that you can find the credits for "I Care" and "I Miss You" on Beyonce's website. And I don't know about "Dance for You" but I'm pretty sure that you can find the credits online (probably on Discogs). My love is love (talk) 11:31, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Really??? A nice decision although I don't think it will be very big in the US without a very, very, very good performance. And about the other charts I'm pretty sure it will rule the charts in UK. And where did you read this? My love is love (talk) 11:38, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Love on Top: a "classic disco" song
Would you please stop pushing improperly sourced words into articles?
 * - First of all, you don't own anything around here. Therefore comment like this is highly inappropriate even by Wikipedia standards.
 * - The source ("As soon as we heard this track, it screamed 'classic disco'") claiming "classic disco" influences is written in tongue-in-cheek figure of speech and therefore unreliable. You simply need to find better sources.

Hope everything is clear now. Regards, ItsAlwaysLupus (talk) 19:40, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Quotation overusage issue
Jivesh, I really do not think you have to remove all quotations in that particular section of your FAC. In fact, quotes are great for adding that extra touch to show things that are worded extremely well by the journalists. Using excerpts of a few words is perfectly fine and makes the article all the more interesting and "spicy". Did Mark ask to remove all usage of quotation in the section? — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  19:28, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, he asked for the quotes in that section to be paraphrased. Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 19:30, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * He stated something like the quotation is factual, and i think all quotations there are factual. Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 19:32, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Lol. i think this is the last time i am nominating an article there. Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 19:32, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Love On Top
Im not saying it's never gonna be released as a single there, but the december 4 date was just rumored, you yourself said that in Love On Top's talk page, you said something like this "Love On Top is now rumored to be released in the Uk"........anyway, that december 4 date is false, it's not in Digital Spy, not in Amazon UK, and not in iTunes UK........for now, Love On top was sent for airplay only in some countries like the australia, italy, and the uk....but it has yet to receive a separate digital and physical release..... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.118.208.87 (talk) 02:44, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Probably the thing that's happening right now. Lol. And do you listen to Jay-Z? I can't listen to any of his song. "Diva" and "Run the World" are probably the only hip hop songs that I listen to. I also like "Crazy in Love" but I can't listen to his hip hop part. It's not good for me. Also, at the beginning of "Deja Vu" the "aaaaaaahhhh" sounds he makes are very annoying. What do you think?

Hi. In Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It), you recently added a link to the disambiguation page Acoustic (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.

Prose question
What does "a topic that attracted Knowles to 'Single Ladies'" mean? How can Knowles be attracted to the song? Do you mean attracted to writing it? By the way, congrats on another support; it's not easy getting one from someone who has written 36 featured articles. ;) The article is really close to getting my support as well. — WP: PENGUIN  · [ TALK ]  10:45, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Re "Query"
I have taken a brief look at Halo and have the following comments:

In general, see WP:QUOTEFARM

Composition

Controversies Critical reception and awards Music video Live performances My personal opinion is that names of people and quotations seem to me to be excessively used in this otherwise well written article.
 * Providing the sources says it, remove "according to the music sheet published at Musicnotes.com," as it is redundant
 * This "As noted by Darryl Sterdan of the Canadian website Jam! and Joey Guerra of Houston Chronicle, 'Halo' is essentially built on a stomp-clap beat, and it consists of '[a] flood of symphonic swells and electronic accents with open-hearted emotion does not make sense. Who is quoting what? In an encyclopaedia, it is generally better to state facts and leave attribution to the references. Thus: " 'Halo' is essentially built on a stomp-clap beat, and it consists of '[a] flood of symphonic swells and electronic accents with open-hearted emotion'.". If the reader really wants to know who said your quotation, they can go to the references. This is a general comment throughout the whole article
 * In " Knowles described the theme of the song as follows:" as follows is redundant
 * In "He commented about:" it is not perfectly clear who commented and "about" is redundant. I would re-word: "Tedder commented"
 * Consistency. "In response to Clarkson's dissatisfaction ..." why use for previous quotes and not the Tedder one following Clarkson's dissatisfaction? I know why Halo is 'Halo' in the middle of this Tedder quote but it looks odd compared to the "Halo" form you use nearly everywhere else.  would fix that
 * Use " ' at the beginning of "'Halo', an absolutely glorious and perfectly ..." making Halo', an absolutely glorious and perfectly ...". This puts a tiny space between the two marks " and ' otherwise they get lost. Don't use " ' as this form can break across lines. You can use the opposite, ' ", at the other end if needed. See Manual of Style&mdash;Quotations within quotations for a fuller treatment
 * "but [he]didn’t want to do that." space after [he]
 * ... 'Call me when you have a hero role.'" needs a ' " giving ... 'Call me when you have a hero role.. Actually, as you seem to be (over?) using quotations there are a lot of these issues throughout. I have not checked for them all
 * You discuss "the song" and "the track" within the same paragraph. This is confusing
 * "June 26, 2011 ." space before period

I am not a qualified copy-editor. I am just trying to help. Use my comments in conjunction with others. I hope the above is helpful to you

--Senra (Talk) 11:31, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

On another point. Consider whether the following is necessary in your main article: There are thousands of musicians in the world and millions of fans. Who are you writing for? The technical musician or the fan? I guess the answer is both but there are more fans. If the musician really wishes to know the technical detail, show it in a footnote. You may of course disagree. Fair enough.
 * "the song is composed using common time in the key of A major with a moderate tempo of 84 beats per minute and has a sequence of A–Bm–F♯m–D as its chord progression. It is written in the common verse-chorus form and features backing vocals.[16] Knowles' vocal range goes from C♯3 to F♯5.[17]"

If you agree, see St James' Church, Stretham#Bells[nb 13] where I relegate the technical details to a footnote. Both WP:REFNEST and WP:REFGROUP contain instructions on how to use this technique. Basically, in the body of the article use  and in the references section put   above the   that is already there. I call my group one ;Footnotes and the normal one ;Notes both underneath a level two heading References. can be from a pre-defined list (I use  in the work-in-progress Ely, Cambridgeshire article) or a name made up by you (I use   in the church article). The same technique can be used to put asides out of the way to help maintain the smooth flow of the prose. Consider  in Ely, Cambridgeshire as an example of this. Your hero Malleus uses this method too --Senra (Talk) 13:41, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

By the way. You only need the complicated  form if you are including one or more references in your footnote. For a footnote without references use the easier  construction. See Little Thetford#Demography[nb 7] for an example --Senra (Talk) 14:39, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes. I've read it. Why? Did I make a mistake somewhere? My love is love (talk) 13:34, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure. I understood it like this: If there is a punctuation mark in the way the author wrote it, then I also add it. Ex. "'Halo' is an angelic song." But if he wrote "'Halo' is an angelic song produced by blah, blah, blah." and if I just want to add the "'Halo' is an angelic song" I don't put a punctuation mark because the author also didn't. But if I add the whole part "'Halo' is an angelic song produced by blah, blah, blah." I add the punctuation mark at the end. Is it like that?

Re: Love on Top
It was sent to radio. It's a UK single. A CD single release will most likely be coming in the year, based off of other UK releases.

Take Right There for example (ignoring all non-UK releases). It was sent to radio at least a month before being officially released in the UK. I say we just wait it out for now. If nothing becomes of it, then it can be changed back to song, and there's a further line of messes added to the 4 era. — Status  &#x7B;<sup style="margin-left:0.37ex;">talk <sub style="margin-left:-3ex;">contribs  11:41, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

And I must say, there is most definitely going to be a tour. They said the era would last two years, and when adding everything up right; they must have known she was pregnant then.

Reducing music quality
Hi Jivesh, how are you? I'm flattered that you ask me that question. Yes, I think I do know. Do you use Audacity for creating sound files? After you finish editing the file down to the length you want, you Export it with the format as Ogg Vorbis Files. Beside the Format drop down list, there is an Options button. Click that and you can reduce the quality down to zero, which I believe I read somewhere is the setting we're supposed to use. Anyway, the procedure above is how it works on my version of Audacity—I can't be sure if there may be other versions circulating with different methods. I hope this is a help. Oh, I just noticed there are also instructions here, which seem similar to what I wrote but I'm not sure if they're exactly the same: Manual of Style/Music samples. Anyway, you could try both explanations. It looks like your FAC is going well—fingers crossed for you! Moisejp (talk) 07:02, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

 * I know! I can't promise I can do this. I'm trying again, though. :-) Moisejp (talk) 07:18, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I've reverted it to the old one, but I'm going to try again to get it smaller. Moisejp (talk) 07:20, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm still working on it right now. But if as you say the sound quality has gone down too much we can always revert it to the original and see what reviewers say. But anyway, give me a few more minutes and I'll see if I can get it down to 64 kbps or not. I don't know how to check the number before uploading it, so it's kind of trial and error. Moisejp (talk) 07:48, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * So sorry, Jivesh. Mission unsuccessful. I reverted the sound file to the original one Dawnseeker did. I noticed you put a message on Dawnseeker's Talk page. I imagine Dawnseeker is more skilled than I am with Audacity because even when I trim half a second off the sound clip it still ends up the same file size as Dawnseeker's original. Maybe Dawnseeker can help you when he or she gets back online. Moisejp (talk) 08:07, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Frustration
Hi Jivesh. I hope you don't mind the briefness of this message; I've got my last major exam tomorrow and can't spare too much time online at the moment. I responded to a few of your queries to on the "Single Ladies" FAC, and noticed that as the days have gone on your replies to him have become a bit more terse. Basically I just wanted to leave you this message to ask you to try and reply a bit more calmly. I know that this is the third FAC, so you're undoubtedly feeling frustrated after all the time you have put into writing and maintaining the article, but it is a very good article and you've had lots of supports to indicate that.

As you've said, it can be difficult when one person recommends doing A and another suggests trying B; sometimes it is literally impossible to find a compromise between the two (particular when C chips in with an additional viewpoint). Everybody has their own idea of what the article should look like, and will try to push their point of view to get it as close to that vision as possible. One person's lack of available information is another person's comprehensiveness. Don't let it get you down. One of my hardest struggles was when I brought "City of Blinding Lights" to FAC. One suggestion was made that I was really very reluctant to integrate; but when I eventually caved and changed it per the recommendation I realized that it really did improve it, not make it worse like I had feared.

So keep your chin up, mate. At the end of the day we are all unpaid volunteers doing this just because we love it. It's easy to get frustrated with what seem to be unreasonable demands, but if you take the time to really break it down you may see that it does actually improve. I've had way more failed FAC's than successful ones; twice I've had articles get passed on the third attempt. But each and every time I've heard more viewpoints and improved; both in writing the article, in editing it, and in replying to and addressing other user's concerns/suggestions. You can't please everyone; but keep in mind that there is no such thing as a perfect article. No matter what we do, there is always something to be tweaked that could make it that little bit better. So keep a calm head and keep on editing; and remember that calm words now will make it easier in the future for both of you. Cheers, Melicans (talk, contributions) 21:15, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
 * No, of course you're not expected to write multiple versions. And that is something the delegates will take into account when reviewing the FAC to see if it is promoted or archived. Ignoring suggestions or bickering about them will never win any favours (I know that from experience...), but explaining rationally why you think it would not be of benefit/wouldn't make the article better will. At the end of the day nobody is trying to sabotage the FAC process for you (if they are it is usually pretty noticeable and not even taken into consideration by the delegates); it may be their opinion, but that's ultimately all it is: an opinion. And they're offering it to you because they think it will make a difference that will help the article pass.
 * Under no circumstance are you expected to change it according to every single opinion you get. As you've found out, people often offer contradictory ideas. The important thing to remember is that FAC is not a vote, and the delegates will never treat it as such. It's just an assessment to see if the article makes the FA criteria, and so ultimately the quality of the arguments is what makes the difference and determines whether an article is promoted or not. Keeping a cool head goes a long way, even if you find yourself having to explain the same things over and over. Sometimes it is difficult to read the full FAC (I often find myself skipping large tracts), especially when it is really lengthy like with the "Single Ladies" FAC. In the end the final decision is yours, and as long as you address the points that are raised - whether you agree to them or not - you've done your job. Usually a simple "That concern was also raised by X, and I feel it wouldn't be an improvement because of Y" works wonders. The delegates are very thorough; they will see if there is conflicting advice. You just have to go with what feels best. You can even try it out and then revert if you don't like it, just to see what it looks like.
 * Cool heads wins collaborators. Hot heads start heated rivalries. So keep your chin up and remember; some of the comments you get will seem like criticism but it is not directed at you and shouldn't be taken personally. It may feel like it when it is an article you've dedicated a lot of time on, but every little niggle or error or suggestion that gets pointed out to you is only an idea on something that could maybe be tweaked to make it that little bit better. Ultimately, they are only trying to help you out. You've done a really great job with the article, so don't get discouraged! Melicans (talk, contributions) 06:15, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I just don't like to see anyone get discouraged, especially after putting in so much hard work. FAC's aren't easy to write by any means; but when you get that star it feels like you've really accomplished something and that it was all worthwhile. In an encyclopedia with millions of articles and thousands of editors, it's a great feeling to know that you have written something that is considered to be one of its best articles! Never take any criticism or commentary personally, mate. In the long run it is much easier to work with each other than fight over fairly trivial details. I freely admit that sometimes it is hard (I've had more than my fair share of scraps), but I've always found that being polite and treating others with respect makes it easier to work with others and compromise on tricky situations; even if they are coming at you full force with both barrels blazing. People are funny, fickle creatures; even the smallest slight can make them hostile towards you, now and into the future, and they'll be harder to please and work with. But praise and politeness (mixed with an occassional dash of "You were right") makes them more willing to concede to you as well. As the saying goes, you sometimes have to give a little to get a little. Believe me, it works wonders! ;-) Melicans (talk, contributions) 06:33, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Heheh, I've written loads. I was either the lead (sometimes sole) writer or one of the major collaborators on all of the articles in that chart (except those marked "Not done"). Some of them ("Slug") didn't exist until I wrote them. Others were redirects (or very close to becoming one) before I stepped in and decided to try and improve them. I'm really proud of "Mothers of the Disappeared"; it used to have an article but was redirected as a non-notable song. I took it from that redirect to an FA almost single-handedly (just more proof to me that every article has the potential to be an FA one day). Another article ("One Tree Hill") is at FAC as we speak. What can I say? U2 is to me what Beyonce is to you! Melicans (talk, contributions) 06:54, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * That's actually really good stuff that could very easily be integrated into the article. The SNL parody culd easily stand as it's own paragraph with that stuff! You could do a structure that is something like this: Current existing sentence(s). B was reluctant to participate in it. Timberlake convinced her after visiting her dressing room (you can leave out the specifics). The choreographer wasn't impressed because X and Y (if there is a why). What critics who mentioned it said (if you find anything; would need at least two opinions). Next paragraph. Melicans (talk, contributions) 07:06, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure, but then I'll have to go to bed; already 2am and I have an exam in twelve hours (blech). Melicans (talk, contributions) 07:12, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks (I'll need it)! I've taken a stab at the SNL stuff; see what you think, and feel free to tweak as necessary :-). The choreographer source has a link to a video interview with her on Knowles about the skit. I don't have time to watch it now, but you could try and incorporate her thoughts on the end product from that. cite video will work. You should be able to find most of the information needed for the fields (airdate, etc.) easily enough. I'm off to bed now. G'night! Melicans (talk, contributions) 07:30, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Just a quick note before I go to my exam; if you've contacted people to take another look and they are not responding, you should let the delegates know by writing something like this under their most recent comments: I have notified user to see if their concerns have been addressed, but as of (date) they have not yet responded: [diff of notification] signature Melicans (talk, contributions) 16:35, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

And it already has a video out, so they would be incredibly stupid to release it as a single now.

Did you know because of Beyonce crap new management RTW leak for free download on iTunes eight hours prior its release worldwide? And Beyonce did not choose festive seasons to release her album.

A question
Could the sales mentioned here be used in their articles? My love is love (talk) 17:47, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Why? My love is love (talk) 17:57, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

By most measures Beyoncé, at age 30, is the veteran of the pair, while 23-year-old Rihanna is still regarded as the young upstart. With Rihanna morphing into a global pop superstar and Beyoncé’s temporary, self-imposed break from music causing a lull in sales, is it fair to even compare their careers? Rolling Stone tasked themselves with finding an answer and it all boils down to numbers in the end. Rolling Stone did a side-by-side breakdown of the impact of both Beyoncé and Rihanna’s careers, finding that the stars are in different places at this stage of the game. Both had a strong showing in 2011, with Beyoncé attempting to storm back with her fourth solo LP 4 while Rihanna’s sixth album Talk That Talk is currently rising on the charts. The piece points out that Rihanna has had a staggering eight hit singles this year alone, by employing radio-friendly arena-rocking pop anthems while Beyoncé dialed in modest hits using traditional R&B and hip hop influences along with some artistic risks that failed to connect with her core audience. It further showed that while Rihanna may command much of the attention Beyoncé once controlled almost universally, she still has not sold as many albums as her predecessor. Beyoncé still remains as big a star as ever, but with Rihanna catering to an audience hungry for dance music and club-rocking jams, will Bey remain true to her creative vision? Will Rihanna exhaust her desire for smash singles and cut back on the pop sound? Only time will tell.

And how shameless? He compares 4 singles to both Loud and TTT. When it comes to album sales, he compares Loud to I Am... Sasha Fierce and not to 4? He was simply biased. Maybe he was reluctant to write that 4 sold one million in the US with three flop singles while Loud sold 1.5 million with three number one singles. Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 18:02, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Jivesh, he is comparing respective singles released this year and both singers last albums. There is nothing bias about it.  Calvin  &bull; Watch  n'  Learn 18:06, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Is I Am... Sasha Fierce Beyonce's last album? He is biased. And he says that Beyonce's album sold three million in the US because it was released in 2008. Biggest joke of the millennium. He keeps on finding excuses. Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 18:07, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * 4 is current and I Am... Sasha Fierce is last in the context I am talking about. He compared Loud to I Am... Sasha Fierce as they are the singer's last albums. And yeah, he is right, the album was release 3 years ago, 3 million sounds about right. Calvin  &bull; Watch  n'  Learn 18:10, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * A big LOL. What about GGGB being released in 2006 then released, having three number-ones singles and not reaching 3 million? Do you mean that Loud will reach 3 million in 2012? Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 18:16, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I was talking about I Am... Sasha Fierce. Rihanna is a singles artist, 2.7 million for GGGB is not exactly bad. Calvin  &bull; Watch  n'  Learn 18:20, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * And one million for an album whose lead single reached 33 in the US, second single reached 16, and third single reached 71] is what I called pretty respectable sales. Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 18:22, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

 * No, I said it hasn't done well compared to her previous albums and the singles have not attained good chart positions. I never said that 4 sales were not respectable. Platinum is respectable. Calvin  &bull; Watch  n'  Learn 18:28, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Only you know hat you are commenting about. You seem totally lost in this discussion. Sometimes you say A, then it is Z. Then you mixed up things. Lol. The point remains that the editor was biased.
