Section Freddie Mercury page
Hello. Can someone please add this link (below) to Billboard's 50 best Lead Singers ever, in the individual rankings section, where the two lists; the old one and the more recent Rolling Stone plus the others, are also present? Thank you so much. https://www.billboard.com/lists/best-rock-singers-bands-lead-vocalists/ Andreoto (talk) 13:06, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Moreover, what's stopping you from doing it? (I have done it.) Remsense  聊  16:00, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Because I'm not the one that wanted it. Good for you, for doing the OP's work for him! ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 17:58, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Any work I deign to do is both my own, and that of the community. ☺ — Remsense  聊  18:03, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Good for you, for teaching the OP that he doesn't have to do any work himself. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 18:55, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Guess what - they don't! Nobody is required to do any work around here. People are invited to participate, but it's entirely voluntary. Some people contribute in the form of making suggestions or requests for new articles or, as in this case, improvements to existing articles. All such contributions are - or should be - welcome. I know you know this. -- Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  21:02, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Nothing in Wikipedia is intuitive or obvious to outsiders, newcomers or those who respond to an occasional article they just read (sometimes directed by an Internet search). When I first started contributing regularly, I still thought that an "editor" was someone with more authority than my own. —— Shakescene (talk) 22:22, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * He's not a newbie. Maybe he's just too timid to do edits himself. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 22:30, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't know much, but User:Andreoto hasn't added anything to his user page (hence the red link), while User talk:Andreoto just has a couple of notices about his contributions to Freddie Mercury. I hope that these warnings haven't scared him from making legitimate additions by himself, and instead ask other editors to so for him. —— Shakescene (talk) —— Shakescene (talk) 22:51, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Rightly so, Wikipedia is not a forum, but I still wanted to write a few lines as a token of appreciation and gratitude. You have opened a discussion that I do not even deserve, at least I do not deserve all this attention. My thanks go out not so much for that, but for the spirit of collaboration and your generosity. I did not edit the Freddie Mercury page not out of shyness or fear of making changes, I am simply not very familiar with links, sources, etc., and rather than make a 'mess,' I ask for help from those more experienced than myself. But I'm sure I'll improve. Thanks again, ah, I forgot, shy and scared I was yes, even a bit lazy, but alas in my school days! :-) I extend a hug, see you guys and thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andreoto (talk • contribs) 20:04, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
 * It's to be hoped that this will find you better equipped to do editing in future. :) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 20:29, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
