Hi, sorry if I'm not doing this correctly, I'm not very skilled in editing on Wikipedia. But I noticed there was some incorrect information etc on the page for singer Allie X, I want to correct it but I messed up with the references. Could you help me out?Beminemylove (talk) 14:37, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Ariana discography edit

Am I missing out something here? I really want to know. Repeatedly pointing out not just by you that she is a streaming artist and that those worldwide numbers don't matter while at the time you are in a sales section that has noting to with nothing but sales.

If you can find other ww sales, add them up as well, it is welcomed to contribute. We work here with information that is available in the end.

Hi! Why do you care so much? I clearly said that it doesn't make sense if we don't have sources for their other album sales either. As mentioned earlier, Grande is more of a streaming artist. Therefore, it would make more sense to include units (sales plus streaming), but they are no sources for this either. To get to the point, why only include worldwide sales of ONE album when if she's clearly not someone who sells albums anyway? Why not let it go completely then? Mirrored7 (talk) 07:02, 10 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • Even if there was a ww source of sales+streaming of her album it won't be included on the sales section of a discography of that page because it is ment only for pure sales (like it says sales, not adjusted sales, Nielsen report in detail breaks down sections about sales/adjusted sales/tracks/streams). And how can you say she does not sell albums when a reliable source IFPI publishes that in the streaming era she is a on a list pure sales on a global scale she is amongst top 10 seller list? Dhoffryn (talk) 07:10, 10 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

I mean in general, she's not an album seller. This is her first year in the top ten there. That's why we don't have any sources of the years before. Her certification and sales doesn't add up. She's one of the biggest artist right now, and these numbers simply don't show it. Mirrored7 (talk) 09:56, 10 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Swift's lead is long? You sure? edit

I would like to underscore that, in case you have not noticed already, the lead of the article you love to edit on—Ariana Grande—is longer than Swift's lead, despite Grande having 5 less albums than Swift. For someone with 11 individual albums in her repertoire, Swift's lead is in the right size, in fact shorter than it should be, in order to fit the details in the lead. Grande's lead should be half the size it is currently, for someone who has less than half the albums and singles Swift has. Do you mind explaining me this? If you cannot address this blatant bias, then I can take this to the noticeboard or push the Grande article for a peer review to see what they have to say. Regards. Ronherry (talk) 15:16, 20 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

This is about Taylor Swift's article. In particular, I find not only the top too long, but some other sections as well. I understand you seem to like Swift as an artist, and yes I like some of Grande's music, but even I try to make her article a little more specific. Tell me, why should it be taken into account, that she has the longest number in history, even though she broke other much more relevant records, that are not mentioned in the lead? Or all the names of her recordings? I opened a talk page and I want you to write there, why you think the lead isn't too long. Kind regards. Mirrored7 (talk) 15:52, 20 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Ariana Grande discography and separating "holiday" singles edit

Mirrored, for future reference, please do not make a very significant re-order of a discography then tell editors in an edit summary if they disagree that they need to discuss it. You are allowed to make WP:BOLD edits, yes, but significant changes to highly watched featured articles like this should be proposed on the talk page first and you should expect opposition. Thank you. Ss112 05:49, 26 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello, chiming in here...you requested protection for Ariana Grande discography...I have removed your request, because it didn't follow the procedure, formatting etc. (which isn't really important). The request for protection would have been denied, because the disruption isn't simply heavy enough to warrant protection of any kind. Please read our protection policy to learn more. Regards.

Editor on Taylor Swift's page making edits on Ariana Grande's page diminishing her accomplishments edit

Hello Mirrored7, I noticed you were a frequent editor of Ariana Grande's page. I noticed recently a frequent editor on Taylor Swift's page (Ronherry) has made large removal edits on Ariana's page that diminishes accomplishments in her career while subsequently doing the opposite on Swift's page. Instead of adding sources to the content, he is removing large amounts of content from Ariana's page. I wanted to make you aware of this person in the future when they make edits on her page.

Hits Daily Double edit

Hello. I'm not sure if you are the editor who originally added Hits Daily Double to Ariana Grande discography, but since you seem to care a lot about sales figures on that article, I presume you have seen it and were okay with its inclusion even if you didn't add it yourself. Hits Daily Double's figures have been called into question before. They are not an official provider of sales. They can only estimate because they're not the ones that officially track them. Often good estimates, yes, but they don't receive official figures so their reliability is questionable at best, therefore we shouldn't use their predictions. Besides, the source used was not archived and no longer showed anything about Grande because Positions came out three years ago. I removed the sales figure for Positions entirely because I also don't believe 42,000 is accurate any longer either and presumed editors who watch the page (including yourself) would not want an entirely outdated sales figure there. Ss112 18:45, 12 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Okay, thanks for the clarification! Mirrored7 (talk) 23:45, 12 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
If this was you editing logged out, I don't think the edit should have been made unexplained, as I already explained my logic in the edit summary and I have just started a thread on the talk page. Sales are typically located to the left of certifications on discography articles, as the sequence of columns is more logical—chart positions, sales, and then certifications, as certifications follow from the accumulation of sales (and sales units and so on). Also, the singles section has the column to the left of certifications as well, and having the columns in different locations on the article makes it inconsistent. Ss112 03:38, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
I understand that this is the usual way, but Grande came at a time when sales were declining. She is a streaming artist, so I think the certifications should come first. It's been like this for a long time. I don't think anyone reading the article will be irritated by this. However, I agree with your other changes. If you really disagree with this, I'm open to discussing it again on the talk page. Mirrored7 (talk) 16:34, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Either make the column order in all tables consistent or leave it alone. Why would you re-order the column in the studio albums section and leave the rest inconsistent? And like the sales column isn't before the certifications column left-to-right for other streaming artists too? What kind of argument is this? Being "first" left-to-right does not mean sales are more important—it simply makes more sense because as sales accrue, they help to constitute certifications. The way in which you take issue with any substantial edit to Grande's discography like you own the article is irritating. First it was the arbitrary separation of her "holiday" singles, now it's column orders. You've now removed a valid US first-week sales figure and for what reason? You left "+" as an edit summary when you removed data. I wasn't aware a plus sign communicated subtraction. Ss112 09:17, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
You have no consensus to instruct users not to add sales figures as they appear on Grande's discography. Even if you did, messages like these are a violation of WP:HIDDEN: "They should not be used to instruct other editors not to perform certain edits". If you continue to make edits arbitrarily reverting valid information and nitpicky-type edits on this discography, I will be informing an administrator. This ownership-type behaviour has been going on for years now. Cool it. Ss112 09:24, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • It's irrelevant whether you added these messages or not. Don't restore or add messages like this per WP:HIDDEN. You cannot command other editors what to do in hidden messages. That is a guideline, meaning YOU and all editors should follow it. The only thing you have here is your opinion on thinking it's a "good idea" to keep it. Sales change all the time—year-end results will not be complete either and will be outdated quickly. Hidden messages in violation of a guideline next to album titles are not going to stop anything. That's not where users add sales anyway. If you make another revert on this article today, I'm informing an administrator. You do not own this article and you need to stop acting like you do. Ss112 12:55, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
    You also really need to stop relying on "it's been there for a long time" as a reason to keep things. It's not a valid reason. We have a guideline telling us not to add things like this. There are plenty of things on Wikipedia that shouldn't be there that have been there for a long time. Age is not a reason to keep things on Wikipedia. Ss112 12:58, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Ariana Grande status as Princess of Pop and Princess of Christmas on Impact section edit

Hi @Mirrored7 i just wanted to know if its possible to add on Impact section a paragraph where we describe Ariana as Princess of Pop, many relevant articles and sources are mentioning, like: https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/ariana-grande-justin-bieber-collaboration-reactions-9369960/ https://www.wmagazine.com/story/ariana-grande-billboard-speech https://bnnbreaking.com/arts/music/ariana-grande-from-broadway-to-pop-icon-a-journey-through-music-and-impact https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2021/2/ariana-grande-shatters-20th-guinness-world-records-title-following-success-of-hit-647433 Also, Vogue magazine mentions that Ariana had a major impact on making artistical videos, so many artist can do the same, here's the article: https://www.vogue.com/article/thank-god-were-dancing-in-music-videos-again And finally, if it's possible, you can add the "Princess pf Christmas" as well, here I have the Billboard article, I don't know of it's relevant, but it can work: https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/camila-cabello-white-house-christmas-performance-1235013252/ And this is another mention from people magazine: https://people.com/ariana-grande-celebrates-santa-tell-me-anniversary-tiktok-8407591

Thank you so much for your time, I hope this will be enough to credit Ariana and her undeniable impact on music. 181.199.38.0 (talk) 20:49, 10 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

March 2023: Do not restore guideline-violating hidden messages edit

 

Your recent editing history at Ariana Grande discography shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Ss112 12:56, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

One more revert on this article today (or tomorrow, directly outside of the 24-hour period) will be a violation of WP:3RR, and with the way you've been acting on Grande's discography since 2020 this will probably result in you receiving a short block. I wouldn't continue acting this way and reverting everybody if I were you considering your block log for the same behaviour. Ss112 13:37, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I would encourage a discussion on the article talk page to try and sort out whatever issues there are here. Edit warring, including the slow burning kind, is a no no. Let's all try to get along and work towards a common objective, which is always a better article. Thank you. -Ad Orientem (talk) 18:55, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
