Fight the Blues
Just wanted to inquire about the single status of "Fight the Blues", as you are wrong in that no source refers to it as a single. Oricon does (see http://music.oricon.co.jp/php/music/MusicTop.php?music=80312 ). It specifically refers to it as "シングル."SanctuaryX (talk) 00:09, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
 * That database calls every individual track a single, even Celebrate or Gentle Beast Interlude. What you're looking for is a mention on her official website or a reputable music site like Barks or Natalie that the song was a 'single' (not just 先行配信, 先行リリース or リード曲). --Prosperosity (talk) 12:52, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Sempai! Sorry it took so long. The last two weeks were really tiring haha. Anyway, I've completed "Sen to Rei", please check through it and see if there's any error. I'm just a beginner when it comes to analysing music :) Here it is:
 * Sheet music says tempo is 132bpm.
 * Major key of E
 * Common time (the vocals)
 * Verses start off as C#m-A-..
 * Chorus is complex, so I didn't write it down lol (it goes like Am-Emaj7-G#m-E-A)


 * Begins with an instrumental introduction, including guitars, bass, keyboard, drums.. yeah

Would this be enough? If not, please do let me know. I'll get to the remaining two shortly. Ryoga (talk) 05:06, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Sounds good! I'm less than a beginner, so unless someone who knows better complains at me, all of that looks good! Haha --Prosperosity (talk) 04:06, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Haha, okay sempai. I'll do the next two songs today :) Ryoga (talk) 11:00, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Sorry it took so long. Here are the rest:
 * Mikazuki Sunset
 * Major key of D♭ major and minor key of B♭ minor. Common time.
 * 122 bpm (which is fast-paced)
 * Begins with an instrumental intro featuring a bassline, guitars and keyboards.
 * Intro's chord progression is G♭maj7-A♭6-B♭m.
 * Same pattern used in verses. Chorus also the same, except it goes G♭maj7-A♭6/Fm-B♭m
 * The above pattern is used throughout, which means it's pretty simple.
 * Ends with an instrumental coda.
 * Native Dancer
 * 130 bpm, which is fast-paced too
 * common time
 * major key of D major, minor key of B minor
 * opens with instrumental intro with G6-Asus4-Bm7
 * verses and chorus have the same progression too
 * ends with instrumental coda

Hope this is enough sempai. You waited so long, please forgive me. Can I ask you for a favor too? I'm planning on writing a story and am planning to name it "The delusions of a widower: Does age really matter?". Can you give me the Japanese equivalent for this lol? With kanji, if you don't mind :) Thanks sempai! Ryoga (talk) 14:23, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Ooh, thanks.
 * How about something like this? 男やもめの妄想　年齢は本当に関係ない?
 * I didn't get it native checked, but it should be accurate-ish! Though I guess what you mean by 'delusion' will affect it a lot (as in vivid imagery or misconception). --Prosperosity (talk) 04:52, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Yep. I love manga, but I have no talent whatsoever when it comes to drawing, so I thought I'll write a story instead. It's a comedy, drama, romance, parody thing. The main character is a widower, who falls in love with a girl 27 years younger than he is. And, all these crazy things he does to get her attention. By delusion, I meant his imagination, thoughts et cetera. I hope it's the right word here. Do you have any other suggestion for the title sempai? Ryoga (talk) 06:32, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok, well I suppose mousou works there (it's usually imagery, like an imaginary friend or a daydream). To me the title sounds in Japanese like a self-help book, not so much quirky or manga-y. What sort of title were you wanting to have? --Prosperosity (talk) 11:08, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Haha, maybe I should make it a self-help book :) Just kidding. I wanted it to be something funny, you know, which reflects what the main character's thinking, feeling.. and at the same time, I wanted it to be serious, like it's something to think about. Guess I'm not so creative when it comes to English, I'll stick to writing it in my native language lol. Ryoga (talk) 12:36, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Oops, I forgot to mention that all the songs have a verse-chorus structure :) Ryoga (talk) 10:31, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I meant like...depending on how your story turns out, maybe a different title in Japanese might suit it! --Prosperosity (talk) 10:36, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm, maybe I should go with something simpler? Like, "Love at Forty"? or similar lol? Ryoga (talk) 09:54, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Namie Amuro
Sempai, don't you think we need to clean her articles up? I've tried removing blogs and other unreliable sites, but there are lots of statements which use them as a reference. Unless we find a replacement (which is reliable, of course) for them, they must be removed (even users on Jpopcentral are starting to feel that fansites and blogs are too much!) Btw, how are you? I haven't heard from you in a while. I discovered some very good artists this month, like Rimi Natsukawa, Kazumasa Oda, KinKi Kids, KOKIA (through Ayatsuri Sakon), Dragon Ash :) Do you listen to them too? Ryoga (talk) 14:43, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
 * What about Mami Kawada? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 15:32, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah, no dude. I do know her, but haven't listened to her works. I do like Akino Arai and Yoko Ishida though. How about you recommend some Kawada songs to me? Since she performs for I've Sound, she must be good. Ryoga (talk) 03:52, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, most of her stuff is pretty good so it would be a good idea to simply try any of her anime opening or ending themes. Too bad she doesn't seem to be very popular in Japan anymore, and based on my recent trip to Japan it seems her CDs are usually out of stock (not because they sell well but because the inventory is gone). Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 09:54, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I just checked her article and saw that she performed the ED for Hayate no Gotoku. It sounds pretty good. That's the drawback when you're marketed towards a particular audience, say anime. And most of the time, the events they perform at are also connected to this industry, which does little to improve their career. And audiences interests keep on changing, and Japan, from what I've seen and heard love "moe" or whatever you call it, so they always have someone new to follow. Am I right sempai? Well, atleast her albums are available on iTunes though it's not available in my country :( Ryoga (talk) 11:26, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I've been away on holiday and I was swamped with work! I used to be a pretty big fan of Kokia's around 2007, if you look through her wiki pages you'll find things I'd done foreveer ago in really old styles, haha. Yeah, the main article couple probably do with a spruce-up, but I'm a little busy these days! I haven't had time for almost anything. --Prosperosity (talk) 04:53, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm glad I found out about her, because her voice is amazing!! And oh, I just listened to "Winding Road" by Ayaka. Spectacular song!!
 * Not just the main article (if you're talking about Namie), but all the singles and albums... Since you're busy, and I guess I am as well these days, we'll take care of them later. Good luck with work sempai!! Ryoga (talk) 09:39, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Japan English sources
The problem is that these pop blogs in Japan don't follow a print book MOS, which en.wikipedia does. They aren't serious sources for MOS issues. So an edit like this simply says that a blog source with no WP:MOSCAPS carries over the CAPS FOR ENGLISH used as a stylism among katana in Japanese. This isn't how the song title would be displayed in Guiness/Virgin or similar books on pop music. In ictu oculi (talk) 04:22, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
 * What blog source did I use? --Prosperosity (talk) 04:31, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
 * http://www.en.barks.jp/, it's a web page with a helter-skelter of crazy fonts, it's not a serious book. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:22, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
 * That's not a blog, Barks is one of the largest music media news outlets in Japan and a member of JASRAC, I think only Natalie and Rockin'on are the only other larger sites entirely dedicated to music. It had a large staff, large readership and a massive coverage; I'm not really sure how you could find a better source in English for this content. If an English language source this important retains the Japanese stylized versions of titles, then it should definitely be mentioned. --Prosperosity (talk) 11:02, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Help!
Hey sempai! Please help me out! I'm currently working on SMAP's discography and I'm almost done. The Japanese Wikipedia article has a lot of "limited" sales/distribution titles (配信限定 / 期間限定販売, オンライン限定). Also, some instrumental albums (which were not recorded by SMAP). What should I do about them? Which section should I put them under? Please help me out sempai!! Ryoga (talk) 03:51, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
 * It depends on how limited they were! If something was specifically called a digital single, then put it in there, but if it was a small release vinyl/preceding download from a release, it's better to list them as promotional singles. If it was a fanclub exclusive, it might be better not to mention it at all (but it all depends on the specifics).
 * If the album was released officially under the SMAP name then it should be compiled there, but if it's not then that's a tribute album that shouldn't be a part of it (as SMAP had no part of it). --Prosperosity (talk) 04:26, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
 * They were limited releases like one Christmas song.. Can you take a look at them and tell me if they should be included?
 * Mermaid
 * Happy Happy SMAP
 * Merry Happy SMAP
 * Chan to Shi Nai to ne!
 * Are you SMAP?
 * Running SMAP!
 * Gift From SMAP (this charted on Hot 100, I think)
 * No idea what this is
 * SMAP 50 SINGLES or something like that

Onegai :P Please help. Ryoga (talk) 13:39, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Mermaid: I don't think it passes notability! It's just an album track that was mentioned before release. Did it chart at all?
 * Happy Happy SMAP: I'd personally put it under promotional singles with n/a for the source album, but that's not the greatest place since it wasn't really a song promoting anything. Either there or no mention at all; they're not a very important part of their discography.
 * Merry Happy SMAP, Chanto, Are You, Running: same.
 * Gift: promo single with n/a, if it charted.
 * 50: box set. Either in a box set category, or you could lump it into the compilation albums.
 * SMAP 50: isn't this the same as the above one? --Prosperosity (talk) 01:49, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much!! "Mermaid" didn't chart, so I'll exclude that from the discography. Ryoga (talk) 03:13, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

All done (I think lol): SMAP discography! If you're free, can you please check the article and add missing translations and also updated sales figures, if possible? Thank you in advance! Ryoga (talk) 11:57, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll have a check through soon. --Prosperosity (talk) 01:24, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
 * How's that? A lot of the songs in the 'other' section were heavily promoted on radio during their albums' releases, so they're clearly promotional singles (but I kinda changed my mind with those fan exclusive singles, haha.) --Prosperosity (talk) 02:23, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks sempai! Hmm.. sales+radio but no wide release means they're promotional, right? Thanks for rearranging them :) Lol, the shop singles haha. Ryoga (talk) 03:10, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Promotional singles for me is anything that should be called a single but isn't, was used to promote a release, had a bunch of radio play in relation to an album or something (so not incidental radio play like how Ashita Haru ga Kitara came back every spring), probably had a music video and was probably released digitally before an album. --Prosperosity (talk) 03:23, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay. How can we distinguish digital singles from promotional singles then? I am confused :( Ryoga (talk) 03:55, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Digital singles should go into the singles section, if they've been called a single by the official website, Oricon or music media; and if they haven't then into the promo singles section. E.g. this song was digitally released and websites called it a single, but this one wasn't called a single at all. --Prosperosity (talk) 04:34, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Or for SMAP examples, Not Alone was called a single, but Mr. S was called a リード曲 (leading song) but not a single, so it should be in the promo section. --Prosperosity (talk) 04:41, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, now I get it. Thanks sempai! Ryoga (talk) 04:55, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Hey sempai! I completed Kazumasa Oda discography the other day and was wondering if you could check my translations and romanization. I've already added in the sales, I got them from some forum so I'm guessing they're correct lol. Ryoga (talk) 12:24, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
 * And has asked something about Oricon. I have no idea, so can you reply instead? Ryoga (talk) 03:41, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll get onto it. --Prosperosity (talk) 09:48, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Sales in Japan
Hello again! Can you also provide me the total sales in Japan for three other Alexandra Stan albums?:
 * Saxobeats (Japanese title: サクソビーツ) -> debuted on the chart on 2012年03月19日付, and has spent 40 weeks there.
 * Cliche (Hush Hush) (Japanese title: クリシェ) -> debuted on the chart on 2013年11月04日付, and has spent 6 weeks there.
 * The Collection (type: DVD) (Japanese title: ザ・コレクション) -> debuted on the chart on 2015年08月31日付, and has spent one week there.

Thank you so much! (talk) 05:25, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure.
 * Saxobeats=68,245
 * Cliche=6,109
 * And Oricon only archives the CD/single sales, not DVD/Blu-ray or book (even though they collect that data)! --Prosperosity (talk) 09:23, 5 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Ur so nice! (talk) 10:09, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Oh, yes! I just need the Japanese sales from four last albums, this time recorded by INNA.
 * I Am The Club Rocker (Japanese title:クラブ・ロッカー) -> debuted on the chart on 2012年07月23日付, and has spent 10 weeks there.
 * Party Never Ends (Japanese title:パーティー・ネヴァー・エンズ) -> debuted on the chart on 2013年04月08日付, and has spent 10 weeks there.
 * Party Never Ends 2 (Japanese title:パーティー・ネヴァー・エンズ＜パート2＞) -> debuted on the chart on 2013年07月22日付, and has spent 2 weeks there.
 * Body and the Sun (Japanese title:ボディ・アンド・ザ・サン) -> debuted on the chart on 2015年08月17日付, and has spent 2 weeks there.

As I already said, this is (for now), the last thing that I need from you! THX!!! (talk) 11:18, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure, here you go.
 * Club Rocker: 7,691
 * Party Never Ends: 6,967
 * Party Never Ends 2: 913
 * Body and the Sun: 760. --Prosperosity (talk) 03:17, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Article move
Hi Prosperosity, I saw your edit summary at I Am Error, but I was curious which guideline/policy supports your decision. There is a discussion on the article's talk page where this very move was considered and the consensus seemed to be to leave it at I am Error. When you get a free moment could you explain the policy/guideline background for your edit at Talk:I Am Error? Thanks in advance. -Thibbs (talk) 13:15, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Sales in Japan for Inna and Alexandra Stan
Hallo again!

Everytime I try to post Japanse sales in Japan for Alexandra Stan and Inna, he undones it, saying that "Readers should have direct access to verifying the sales. The page for sales can be printed out and scanned and then uploaded on Mediafire.com. Then they can be used. Readers should not have to register to verify information" Cartoon network freak (talk) 04:56, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
 * That's just not correct. We don't have to scan books that we source with the exact passage; we just need to reference material in a correct manner (e.g. listing the passage, page and edition for print material, the publisher, etc). Are they referencing any specific Wikipedia guideline, because I doubt they are. --Prosperosity (talk) 04:59, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I completely agree with Prosperosity and have restored the sales information on Alexandra Stan discography. References do not need to be instantly accessible by every reader for them to be reliable. Book sources and subscription-based content is just as reliable as instant-access web sources, it's the entire reason Template:Subscription required exists for use in references. This essay can also be applied to subscription-only content.  Azealia 911  talk  20:43, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

RIAJ overhaul
Hey sempai! How are you? I've been very busy with college and just came to check on RIAJ and woah, love the new design! Certs all the way from 1989! It's like they read our minds! The problem lies in how we source them. Any suggestions? Ryoga (talk) 12:08, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmmmmmmmmmm......all of the old links seem to be archived, and they're just taken directly from the magazines, so you could cite the magazine .pdf (e.g. look at the 2002年3月 positions, then grab the 'GOLD ALBUM 他認定作品 2002年3月度' web archive .pdf link from my list, double check the info's there and use that? I'm gonna wait for a few days to see how googling responds to the database, and if there are specific pages where the data is coming from online that can be sourced, otherwise...no idea! --Prosperosity (talk) 01:23, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
 * That sounds good. But what about the 1989–1994 ones? They don't have .pdf files? Anyway, it's a great thing that they made everything available online. Ryoga (talk) 04:01, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
 * One of the issues somewhere had a total listing of all previous double platinum+ releases somewhere! It was like a 1995 one or something. I'm not sure what do to about the others yet. --Prosperosity (talk) 05:02, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, '96 I think. I was thinking maybe we could do something like the old G-Music charts? Add a common link and give the months as footnotes. Ryoga (talk) 04:22, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Maybe! But G-Music really flew up in my face when they removed all of their archives, and now there's no possible way to get that info. --Prosperosity (talk) 04:34, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh yes. That was really unthoughtful of them to remove all those charts. Ryoga (talk) 10:48, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Since the info's dynamically created now, even the web archive pages are just showing the latest info! I think we might need to switch to citing the .pdfs, ugh. --Prosperosity (talk) 18:46, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Ouch! That's why I said we need to figure out something else. I am sure someone with a good command over coding will be able to create a template which might help us. Ryoga (talk) 15:54, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Use of IPA for Japanese
Hello! I just started a discussion about this at MOS-ja... I realise you have been putting work into generating these IPA transcriptions, but I really think that they are not helpful. (Even I can't read some of it, like the c-cedilla thingy for 'hi'). I would like to get some consensus rather than just going round removing them... but there are actually lots of errors, which it is very hard to spot casually. See also my edit to Sakanaction: the point is that the kanji for fish tells us nothing about the Yamato-kotoba word. Anyway, look forward to your input.

Replaceable fair use File:Misato hoshi.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Misato hoshi.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:54, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Please don't mark significant removals of content as "minor"
This does not count as a minor edit. A bot even had to restore the reference to the page because it was invoked elsewhere.  Ss  112   07:56, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

File:LisaDiscoVolante.jpg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:21, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Misunderstanding of how the Heatseekers Albums chart works
I just saw this edit summary of yours on Unknown Mortal Orchestra. You appear to be under the impression that once an act charts one album on the Billboard 200, any future albums of theirs are ineligible to chart on the Heatseekers Albums chart. That's not the case at all. If an album fails to appear on the Billboard 200, it can appear on the Heatseekers Albums chart no matter what it is—it does not matter if the act has previously appeared on the Billboard 200 at all. For instance, that view is contradicted by looking at this week's Heatseekers Albums chart: True Meanings by Paul Weller is at number 10, but previously appeared on the Billboard 200 with Sonik Kicks in 2012.  Ss  112   16:23, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Really? Huh. At the Top Heatseekers article, it expressly says that "Once an artist/act has had an album place in the top 100 of the Billboard Top 200...the album and later works no longer qualify for tracking on Heatseeker Albums." If you know a good source for this, could you fix the Top Heatseekers article? --Prosperosity (talk) 22:02, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Sales in Japan
Hello. Could you provide sales data in Japan for Basshunter if there is any data avaiable? I think there could be something for album LOL <(^^,)> (the only of his albums included in Oricon). Eurohunter (talk) 13:13, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't have an account anymore, sorry! However, Oricon only tracks sales for weeks when the album is in the top 300, which means no sales were tracked for the album. --Prosperosity (talk) 18:34, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 * It would explain everything. Thanks. I will look on charts guides and try to include this information if its not there yet. Eurohunter (talk) 20:55, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for noticing and fixing what had happened on Kelvin Roy - I had totally missed that page hijacking! Well spotted. Melcous (talk) 03:17, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Billboard Japan charts
Hey there, I came across Manual of Style/Record charts/Sourcing guide/Japan while fixing discographies and noticed you wrote it. Hope you don't mind if I ask if Top Album Sales and Hot Albums are discouraged from being listed? I noticed pages like Taeyeon discography was using Hot Albums. Anyways, thanks! lullabying (talk) 23:09, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi there! Typically people list Oricon positions on albums/EP listings since the chart is better sourced (down to 300 positions, plus an easily searchable database), though there's no issues listing Hot Albums as well (it's more comprehensive, but it's only been around for three years). If you're listing Hot Albums, I wouldn't put Top Albums (physical or digital) since they'd be considered sub-charts of Hot Albums. --Prosperosity (talk) 22:04, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the response. You might want to update the MOS though -- I was told by (hope you don't mind if I mention you because this is important to bring up) that SoundScan is no longer publishing their charts directly and their numbers are used through Billboard Japan. The guide currently states As Billboard's albums chart is exactly the same as SoundScan's, they should not be listed which may be confusing since it contradicts the advice you've given me. lullabying (talk) 00:12, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll have a look at it and update it sometime soon! --Prosperosity (talk) 01:06, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Flashdance soundtrack references in Japanese
Hello--I'm working on expanding the Flashdance soundtrack page and going through what's currently there very thoroughly so that everything meets the standards that reviewers use when looking at it. There are four references there in Japanese (5, 18, 31, and 32), and I was wondering if you could help me with updating them. Number 5 redirects to a chart for 1982, but Flashdance came out in 1983. I tried the link for the original, but it just goes to the Big Globe home page. The archive link on number 18 is good, but the original just redirects to the So-net home page. Same with 31, except the original redirects me to a YouTube channel. 32 just gives me the RIAJ certifications home page. If you would be able to fix these so that they're all in working order, I'd really appreciate it. I rewrote the Up Where We Belong page so that it made it to GA status, and I'd love to be able to do it with this one, too. Thanks so much! Danaphile (talk) 23:44, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll take a look tomorrow when I've got a little more time. The link for source 5 isn't accurate (they should have linked to 1983), but also it's a personal website and not an Oricon-published work (I'll see if I can find a good source for the sales). --Prosperosity (talk) 02:57, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much! Danaphile (talk) 13:54, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Done! For the sales, the original source is probably correct with 1,066,000, but based on the Oricon Album Chart Book this is the amount listed for LP+cassette sales (full disclosure, I don't own the book - but several sources which referenced the book consistently used this amount). --Prosperosity (talk) 01:00, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks again! I really appreciate you taking the time. Danaphile (talk) 01:20, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Juju
Why do you think Juju is a jazz singer? Vmavanti (talk) 16:56, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * She performs jazz in addition to pop music, has a series of jazz standard cover albums, performs at jazz clubs, says how much jazz means to her in interviews and reviewers use the term jazz when talking about her. --Prosperosity (talk) 22:24, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

3rd party sources (FaZe)
Where should third party sources be used except just partnerships sections?
 * Ideally all information should be sourced from secondary sources (general news outlets like Forbes, or esports specialty news sites like Esports Observer). Primary sources should be kept to a minimum, and used for uncontroversial information. --Prosperosity (talk) 07:50, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the answer, I will focus on replacing primary sources with third party sources.
 * Great! The article needs a lot more sources discussing the importance of FaZe Clan and their history. --Prosperosity (talk) 08:45, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
