Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Gwen Stefani, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. (The source does not state that she has sold ten million solo albums.) ShadowHalo 17:39, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I understand and i won't repeat it again.

License tagging for Image:No Doubt.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:No Doubt.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:10, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

"C mon..he should not be tortured like this on his talk page because of his likings or hatings.Even if he likes or hates Gwen Stefani,what difference will it make to you or anyone here."

It does make a huge difference because he actively edits the entries on Gwen's and "No Doubt" song articles on the Wikipedia. It is not the motivation, but the actions he performs on behalf of these. Cuvtixo 15:33, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Gwen Stefani discography

The source appears to be self-published, so it cannot be considered reliable. This is getting really annoying too. We know at this point that it's sold 3 mil, but none of the press seem to have mentioned it yet. Oh well. ShadowHalo 20:07, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Mani Madhava Chakyar

Thanks for the comments..i agree there are names that appear in the article without link, but i will be writing them soon, so kept it RED...i will try to reduce the bold letters..thanks... plz keep on suggesting..Sreekanthv 04:46, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Love. Angel. Music. Baby.

Don't worry; It'll make FA eventually. I'll try my hand at the article once Hey Ya! is done. I've never had an article at FAC so long, so hopefully Raul654 will be able to close the candidacy soon. ShadowHalo 19:32, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Stuff like that's usually not a problem. If someone opposes a FAC without providing a reason or with an invalid reason, then Raul654 will ignore it. ShadowHalo 10:24, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Wide-eyed means that it has uncritical or undercritical admiration/acceptance of the facts. Sort of like how most magazine articles are written. As is, there are a few sentences that are poorly worded and need to sound a little more neutral and detached. And, no, "Wonderful Life" has not been announced as a single. ShadowHalo 10:33, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

For a featured article about an album, see Christ Illusion, Surfer Rosa, 1987 (What the Fuck Is Going On?), or God Hates Us All. ShadowHalo 10:41, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Which talk page are you talking about? If it's Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wonderful Life (Gwen Stefani song), everyone there is agreeing that the article should be deleted since there aren't any sources. ShadowHalo 10:43, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

So far as I know, they're frowned upon. They don't really contribute that much useful information since certifications vary so much between countries, so the important ones should probably just be contained in the text. 17Drew 19:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Assessment says that it doesn't use A-class ratings. A-class is only used by certain WikiProjects. 17Drew 17:46, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, Category:A-Class song articles only has two articles in it, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Songs doesn't mention anything about how to do A-class. I doubt it would pass though since the article doesn't have enough discussion about the song's music and lyrics. There is not a WikiProject for No Doubt or Stefani. 17Drew 07:58, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I think it was because there were several "support if"-style votes, but the original reviewers didn't check back for awhile. Gran2 supported a week ago once I asked him about it again. Once it was no longer near the top of WP:FAC, not as many people saw the candidacy and reviewed the article. User:Raul654 last promoted articles right after Tony1 opposed. Since he withdrew that objection and Gran2 supported, I'm hoping Raul654 will promote the article next time he goes through the FACs. And then Love. Angel. Music. Baby. will be FA (hopefully). I've been taking a look at the article to see what I'll need to do before re-nominating it; I found a more reliable site with more detailed chart information, so I'll add that in soon. 17Drew 08:22, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Whitney Joins The JAMs does seem to be GA material. There are some things that need sourcing, but it'd likely survive a GA review. It still needs some work before reaching FA though. 17Drew 08:25, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

That was me. Since radio airplay (unlike a single) is not published, a date for that will need a citation. The other thing came from a Blogspot post, which is not a reliable source. 17Drew 08:30, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Love. Angel. Music. Baby., of course. After that, I'm not sure. Right now I'm considering No Doubt since I recently found some good sources with more detailed information about the band's early years (before Tragic Kingdom). I'm also thinking about Hey Baby (No Doubt song) or Rock Steady (album), which is on hold right now for GA status. 17Drew 08:35, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Love. Angel. Music. Baby. should be ready for FAC by the end of the week. I wrote an entire section about the album's impact awhile ago, but my computer froze and I lost it. I've added a bunch of information, but I'm still trying to find some better sources and information for the section. 17Drew 12:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

The song was officially released as a bonus track on some (but not all) versions of The Sweet Escape. 17Drew 23:09, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

The video for "Serious" was never officially released. There's a one-minute preview, but I'm not even sure if that was officially released or only broadcast once and then illegally duplicated elsewhere. The discography is not supposed to mention every song; "Candyland" is indirectly mentioned by including The Sweet Escape. Discographies are supposed to be written in summary style, so there's no sense in adding a bonus track to the list. If you can find sources that describe L.A.M.B.'s artwork in some detail (like at The Sweet Escape#Album cover), then feel free to add it. But I haven't seen anything other than a brief description in that Maxim list, and not having a section on a topic that reliable sources have not covered will certainly not keep the article from making FA. 17Drew 17:45, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Like I said in the edit summary, it's not a reliable source. The Monsters and Critics article states that "the comments are not moderated at the point of publishing". 17Drew 14:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

It's already in the article. In the second paragraph of the Conception and production section: "She stated that she was considering recording singles to be used on soundtracks, later playing Jean Harlow in The Aviator; continuing her series of collaborations; or releasing an album under the pseudonym GS." 17Drew 17:11, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that'd be worth adding to the L.A.M.B. article. I'd recommend using this article though. Contactmusic has a tendency to just echo articles from other sites. 17Drew 18:10, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I know things are not added yet! Luxurious.gaurav 15:57, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Name change

It's a long story. Simply put, there was some off-wiki semi-drama and I don't want someone to see this account. 17Drew 16:59, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

When you phrase it that way, I can't help but wanna know what this "off-wiki semi-drama" was. But it's unlikely you'll explain what it is, so I'll just leave it at that :D Spellcast 08:24, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Luxurious

I was trying to put the article in Category:Arts good articles, but the {{ArticleHistory}} template is set up oddly, so I reverted myself. No, Answers.com is not a reliable source; it is a mirror site of other sites, including Wikipedia. 17Drew 20:55, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Please don't. Canvassing makes it harder to determine consensus. 17Drew 16:02, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

290. Keep in mind that you've made many edits while not signed in, so they're not counted. 17Drew 17:29, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

It's probably not disallowed, but there's not really any point. Candidacies are evaluated based on the support they have received, but more importantly how actionable any opposition is. Unless the nomination is procedural (such as when an article is relisted to reevaluate consensus), it's understood that the nominator supports promoting the article. 17Drew 05:56, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and we'll "officially" know that "Now That You Got It" is the next single if and when a reliable source (primary or secondary) says so. 17Drew 05:58, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

No, Getty Images are almost always inappropriate for use on Wikipedia. Getty makes its money from making people pay for the images, so we're keeping them from making a profit by using their images here. 17Drew 09:57, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

02:00. 17Drew 09:59, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Sophomore album

Yes, I'm not surprised that you weren't familiar with the word's meaning. I see you're from Mumbai and a Google search of "sophomore album" in India had 1.39 million hits compared to 69.3 million hits for "second album". I just don't think that it's fair to use "sophomore" when a simple alternative that everyone understands can be used. Spellcast 08:20, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Rock Steady (album)

Well, certification is based on shipments, not sales. Many albums are certified, say, platinum and still don't sell near a million copies. It may have sold more than three million copies globally, but so far I've only seen sources state three million. 17Drew 20:32, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I can't find anything that says "Underneath It All" went triple platinum, and it seems unlikely since Rock Steady was triple platinum. So far as I know, "It's My Life" was the only one to be certified, and all the sources I see that "Underneath It All" look like mirror sites of the Lady Saw article. 17Drew 17:52, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Right now I'm working on Hey Baby (No Doubt song). It's a GA and at peer review, so I'm hoping to take it to FAC in the near future. I'm not really looking to start an entire WikiProject since there aren't many users contributing specifically to those articles. I'll go ahead and archive the review for you. 17Drew 06:41, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Redirecting

Yeah, ummm, where you the one who redirected "Now That You got It" to The Sweet Escape?, anyway. How would we know when "Now That You Got It" came out? Explode24 16:23, 7 August 2007 (UTC) (Australian time)

http://www.bpi.co.uk/platinum/platinumright.asp?rq=search_1d=32814

Your message

Hm, I could be wrong but I don't think there's enough sources to justify an article for it yet. The source just says the release date is October 1, 2007 and that's it. I think it's better to wait until there's proper confirmation. Spellcast 18:17, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree. I would wait until its confirmed by a statement from Stefani's record label or until Billboard publishes an article with more information about it. -- Underneath-it-All 18:43, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

WP:CRYSTAL says pages are allowed only if the event is "almost certain to take place". Now Billboard should be a reliable source, but my only problem is this is the only site to have that info. I'd simply wait until there's confirmation from multiple sources. But I wouldn't be surprised if this became a single though. Spellcast 18:46, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Billboard is an extremely reliable source - to be eligible for the US charts, Stefani's label will have to send them a copy of the single etc. Having said that, it is best to wait until October comes nearer - I have seen instances where, at the last minute, the song chosen to be a single is changed.

Image copyright problem with Image:7226 2.jpeg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:7226 2.jpeg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 05:21, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Gwen Stefani

If you don't like the current picture, there's a bunch at the Wikimedia Commons (the most recent are from the Sweet Escape Tour). What You Waiting For? likely won't appear on the Main Page any time in the near future since Hollaback Girl was there two or three months ago. 17Drew 15:53, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

No, but I did see a lower quality version elsewhere. Has the whole video not been shown yet? 17Drew 08:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, Circeus seemed to think at FAC that adding that wouldn't be appropriate since the videos were released by other artists. 17Drew 06:59, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

So far as I know, Stefani doesn't have a signature song. If she does, it'd need a secondary source anyway, so if you can find one, I'd go with that. 17Drew 00:09, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Most navigational templates get rid of the singles after several albums or else the template is too big to be able to navigate easily. 17Drew 16:26, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your motivating comments on my talk page. That really encouraged me to further improve the Britney Spears article. Oidia (talk) 13:16, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:L bottle.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:L bottle.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 17Drew 16:54, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Hi gauruv, I am from Delhi. nice to meet you too. would you like to be my friend. thanks, Sushant gupta 04:59, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Not true, it wasn't exactly vandalism...

What user 89.125.179.86 said about how "Gwen Stefani rules!" was not vandalism; it was what ought to be dubbed "inappropriate appraisal". Just as unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, of course, but to say the person vandalized the article is too hard on their part. (Besides, at least they were right in what they said!)

Hello again

Hi, thanks for your advice on how to improve Britney Spears for FA preparation. Just like to let you that I've sent it to peer review. Wikipedia:Peer review/Britney Spears. I was trying to work a way around improving the lead section. And I kept hitting a brick wall. I looked at Gwen Stefani, and Kylie Minogue, then Mariah Carey. I think I should start mentioning ...Baby One More Time in the first paragraph, but I don't know what to do with the repeated information in the second paragraph. Hmmmmm.... Oidia (talk) 13:07, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for helping me out :) I think I'm having writers block at the moment. I really like your version and I'll see what the other editors think. Most probably they won't reply so I'll have those changes implemented in about a week! Thanks once again. Oidia (talk) 06:06, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

GA

I haven't been doing much work at WP:GA lately; I started reviewing there a lot when I had articles up for consideration, but I don't really plan to be nominating anymore (waste of time in the long run). Also, there are quite a few articles queued up ahead of yours chronologically, especially in the music section. With all due respect, I think I'll let the GA process run its natural course. But best of luck with it. Chubbles 07:35, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

hi gauruv, are your exams over now! Sushant gupta 14:40, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

well i always dreamed of working in research line but truely speaking there is not much scope in india for research. thats why i am thinking of going in engineering line. hopefully IIT or NIT (National Institute of Technology). what about your stream line. thanks, Sushant gupta 10:21, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

no i don't Sushant gupta 06:05, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

please don't say something against anyone here on wikipedia. you might get blocked. i have seen many good wikipedians getting blocked for such reasons. since wikipedia is not the correct place to give our point of view. thanks, Sushant gupta 12:57, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

also i would active on saturdays and sundays only due to busy schedule. i will miss you and wikipedia both for a bit long time. thanks, Sushant gupta 12:57, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

well i think you too get a lot of scolding from your mother just like me for spending hours here on wikipedia. Sushant gupta 10:50, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

though i don't do any rubbish thing on net like my other friends do but then also my mother keeps yelling on me. Sushant gupta 11:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Re: Serious Advice

Yes, that article has always been the 'step-child', if you will, of the Evanescence series, intended mostly to draw away the garbage that folks once added to the articles themselves (a task, I must add, that it has done admirably, saving the actual article editors quite some grief). I don't know how much can be done to rectify the problem, but thanks for the link, I'll check it out. -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 18:30, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Fahion week.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Fahion week.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Reference on Britney Spears

Hello, I have replaced the Amazon reference with a Biograghy written by Fox News. I hope it is reliable, as it seems they slightly plagiarised off wikipedia. Thanks again for pointing out the mistakes in the article and helping on improving it.

Happy Diwali!

Wish you and your family too a very happy Diwali! Well these days i am not able to be much active here on wikipedia. my mother keeps yelling on me. my brother and sister too accompanies her. i will definetly be in touch with you. thanks a lot, Sushant gupta 10:23, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

you're welcome (minor edits)

Hi, you're welcome for the edits on L.A.M.B; they were minor. You need to send it through WP:LoCE. Some of the writing is in need of polishing. Moreover... some sections (such as the one about the perfume) are too glowing and read too much like a commercial for the product; I woulda put the article on HOLD instead of passing it GA. But I didn't have time to review it thoroughly. .. ;-) Later! Ling.Nut 11:30, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for your comments over at the Nine Inch Nails discography FLC. Myself and another editor have responded to your concerns, so I'd appreciate it if you took another look at the FLC page. Thanks again! Drewcifer 01:08, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi!

Hi Gauruv, its been a long time i haven't talked to you. so how are you? if you are free we both can start up with some new work here on wikipedia. Sushant gupta (talk) 06:20, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

i will take care of them (your articles). most probably i might take out time in April. don't worry i know you won't be able to resist wikipedia. i made thousand promises to my mother and never keep my words. i know that it is not a right thing to do but i am addicted.

Sushant gupta (talk) has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!

		for your fabolous contributions Sushant gupta (talk) 06:48, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

hey, thanks a lot for the barnstar. it was nice to see you here on wiki back though for a short time but then also. it is not necessary to work on india related articles only; we can work on many many other things too. but i would definetly like to write one Indian FA. thanks a lot, Sushant gupta 13:42, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Tour GA/FA

As far as I know, there are none. As an aside: perhaps the tour article would be better as a featured list rather than an article? After, a tour is a list of concert dates. CloudNine (talk) 17:02, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Being a featured list doesn't mean it's completely bereft of prose. It's a tough call; there's a discussion over at WT:FAC that you may find interesting (with other examples). CloudNine (talk) 18:25, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi again

Hey, sorry I haven't replied to your messages, I had my final high schoolm exams recently so I didn't have much time to come on to wiki. Anyway, about the Britney Spears article getting into FA, I think we need to wait for a while. Wait until she's not in the news so much, so editors won't question the stability of it.

Hi gauruv, currently i am very busy with my studies. i will be back on wikipedia on April 2008. hope so we can together work on indian articles soon. thanks enjoy your vacations. happy christmas and new year.Sushant gupta (talk) 16:20, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

RE:Genre

Thank you. That user is annoying. Charmed36 (talk) 05:10, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Only sourced genres can be added. I see that dance pop is sourced for What You Waiting For (it charted on the Hot Dance Club Play charts). I've got a lot of Gwen Stefani songs on my watchlist, so I'll watch for any unreferenced edits from that user. Thanks. Spellcast (talk) 05:19, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

The user is a sockpuppet. He or she is vandalizing. Charmed36 (talk) 17:46, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

S/he is a young child or teen who isn't reading the articles for what they are and seeing our point. Someone needs to block this sockpuppet. Charmed36 (talk) 17:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

86.29.241.91 is obviously a sock. S/he's been blocked for 24 hours. Spellcast (talk) 07:55, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Gwen Stefani music genres

Hello - just a note to say I've started a discussion on Gwen Stefani's music genres at Talk:Gwen Stefani#Music genres. --h2g2bob (talk) 18:00, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Escence. I think consensus is being more closely reached on Talk:Gwen Stefani. It's not my role to play judge and say "this can be added". There should be as much common ground between everyone, so a rough consensus can be reached. Spellcast (talk) 09:10, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Gwen Stefani

Basically, what the IP did was go into a lot of detail on the singles charts and reception. That info is better left in the singles' own article. The edits were all expanded from the second paragraph of the "2006 – present: The Sweet Escape" section and ended at the "Non-musical projects" heading. Spellcast (talk) 17:20, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for not replying earlier, I must've missed the message. Although it's not the official site for the German Singles Chart, I think it's the official chart. If you Google "german singles chart", you'll come across this site. It has the same songs, so the mediatraffic list is likely official. Spellcast (talk) 08:03, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

lol I was already aware of your last message and I thought it was already settled. I stated my opinion that it's the official German Singles Chart even if it may not be the official site. Media Traffic, All Charts, and aCharts list the same songs. Spellcast (talk) 09:23, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Queries about Back To Black

Your points about Back to Black are very valid. I would definitely suggest importing those credits to their respective pages, and getting the full album credits from CDUniverse (my standby source). Also, the certification points you've made are valid. Either see if you can find any certification info, or re-ad the note with a blocked out note <!-- --> above the table quickly explaining the certification sources. I will help you as well with this when I get a chance, especially with the album credits.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 13:56, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey. Its BatterBean. Just to tell you, I made a new account. So HI!. And I told you because I didn't want you to think I'm so random editor editing Gwen Stefani articles. --BatterWow (talk) 06:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

fair enough

Thats fine.:) sometimes yes..I agree I forget to include my sources..but Ill try not to forget from now on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shirlthemanson (talk • contribs) 16:19, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Hi!Suspicion

I replied at Talk:Crash (Gwen Stefani song). Jamalar has obviously edited with another account, but (s)he's not vandalising. We reached a concensus about the genres at Talk:Gwen Stefani, so there's no reason it can't be done again. Spellcast (talk) 15:14, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

hellooooo.....

hey gauruv! I'm back. my exams are over now. cheers, Sushant gupta (talk) 10:07, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

hey dude, currently i am working on Glossary of geology terms. if you want the source for that we can complete it first. ALSO IF YOU WANT TO WRITE ANY OTHER SORT OF INTERESTING ARTICLE I am ready. i will suggest some more. waiting for your reply eagerly. Sushant gupta (talk) 10:12, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

my exams were a bit tuff but they passed smoothly. how about yours! well i have NO problem writing this article in a new and cool form. i have seen you editing more on music and related topics. hope so you haven't suggested this article for my interest. be free in sharing your views bro. if you really want to write this article then let me tell you that there are 6 topics within this article and we can work on 3 topics each so that all 6 topics can be re-written in an easy manner. you can choose any 3 topics as per your will and interest. the major topics are given in the content itself. thanks, Sushant gupta (talk) 15:33, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

fine lets start then. Sushant gupta (talk) 08:01, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

i have just received a fabulous source. Click here to view the page. thanks, Sushant gupta (talk) 08:09, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

not too sure. but the website is non profit. though the article is already having several pics but it would be better if we informative labelled figures. thanks for giving such a great idea. Sushant gupta (talk) 08:18, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Geyser plumbing labelled figure is most likely free. the other needs permission. thanks, Sushant gupta (talk) 08:22, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

use the template convert if needed anywhere.

how to use it
to write 7000 feet as 7,000 feet (2,134 m) use {{convert|7000|ft|m|0|lk=on}}. thanks, Sushant gupta (talk) 08:33, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:Early Winter

Well, actually, Tim Rice-Oxley from (pianist) wrote the song as a Keane song but Gwen had showed an interest on working with them since 2005 so they worked together in the end. Tim and Gwen recorded the song in the US for her album and Rice-Oxley is credited along with her as songwriter. In late 2007, Keane "covered" the song live in the UK. It may be a cover... but maybe not. If we dismiss Rice-Oxley wrote the song it's a cover but listening to Keane's version is clearly different lyrically... the whole song has a different meaning though the melody is the same. I don't wanna confuse you more, I'm going straight. Since Keanemusic.com is down at the moment, Keane's official forum is the only "reliable" source of information, but there's no mention of the single there. It's very common fans make covers for the songs they like the most, thus I've seen covers for "The Frog Prince", "Leaving So Soon?", etc., songs that have never and will never be singles so it's likely what you saw is a fake cover. I've looked into the font and it's a fan-made, it's not the original. Also, Keane has been using drawings (as you can see on previous covers) for their releases, not photos. Maybe a single mention on their one-time cover should fit on EW's article.--Fluence (talk) 18:01, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
