On the menace that scared the hell out of me

Why you don't go after the prick that first insulted me and vandalised my posts? Are you afraid of him or biased towards me?

Ultratip source

After reworking the Ultratop articles a little bit, I've realized the explanation of Ultratip doesn't say that that chart lists only songs which are not currently or have never been on the respective Ultratop chart. My understanding is that it's one or the other (the latter, maybe?), but as I move to add that detail, I find myself without any citation to support me, just what I've read of discussion here on WP. I certainly don't see it here. Do you know where I could look? — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 09:24, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Sorry for my recent edits...

I'm sorry. I thought that someone had lowered the sales. I just wrote the real sales... but as wikipedia was time-traveled, the sources also changed. But I can find sources saying the sales I wrote. If I find them...can i put them?? I just don't want to be blocked, because I didn't so anything wrong. I won't do it again without sources. thanks --GenieOFbritney (talk) 22:47, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

A new suggestion for Brasil

I've noticed a slow and steady resurge in the number of times Billboard.br or brasilhot100 and chary1300.com are added to articles. would it not be a good interim solution for them to be black listed? Regards, Lil-unique1 (talk) 15:23, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Eurovision Song Contest 2011

Hi i was wondering if you could block the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 article from IP users edits for atleast a couple of months or even until january 1 2011 so that this whole thing can calm down.

I dont know but perhaps even so from that Xtina girl that you are blocking right now. have put up a request on the appropriate page for the protections to.--ÅlandÖland (talk) 21:28, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

The Undead Dinosaurs From Hell

Please revisit and revise your decision to delete this page. It was about a serious solution to a serious issue in society today. I myself am not part of the band - but the band members seemed serious about taking legal action. The exclusion of their article is in their opinion "discriminatory, inappropriate, and illegal." This is copied from an email to myself. I was recently asked to create a page for them (I have been on Wiki for years, under multiple usernames). Upon doing so it has been deleted numerous times, for no good reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Automaticshutter (talk • contribs) 00:28, 3 June 2010 (UTC)


Thank you for the speedy response. I responded on my talk page, as to keep this short. I personally would refer you to point number 5. They are part of ""Alive or Lifeless"", an indie record company, and have a contract to release two albums. They will be doing so with the first later this year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Automaticshutter (talk • contribs) 00:58, 3 June 2010 (UTC)


I do not have the time now to re-write the article, nor will I the next few days. I will re-write it when I have the chance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Automaticshutter (talk • contribs) 01:04, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
They have a single released currently. The next release will be August. Policy must have changed - because in the past a contract to record 2 or more albums was considered enough (this was just months ago). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Automaticshutter (talk • contribs) 01:08, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Living Lohan

Kww, I can understand why I did not leave a explanation to why I removed "All The Way Around" from Living Lohan, but I feel that the song deserves a article of its own and this portion does not belong in a article about a TV show. I'm going to recommend that it be split from the article.(Robert Moore) 8:45, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Kww, I'm going to get rid of the infobox for the song. We can talk about the song, but this article should be about the TV show and there was more to the series than just the song. Like you said, they are mated, but the song infobox should go unless someone can prove otherwise, because she not released anything since and she has yet to release her album, which I doubt will ever see the light of day. (talk) 1:31, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

I decided that I am not going to pursue the idea of dropping the song infobox, but the article can be expanded just in case. It does make sense to leave it in since it was the focus of the series in the first place.(talk) 10:05, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Teeny Template Topics

New Zealand is missing a quotation mark before its charts.org.nz in the ref line. And I've left a note for you about Norway on my Talk. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 09:12, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Czech this

A page for the Czech Republic chart archive shows a heading like this:

IFPI ČR Hitparáda - RADIO TOP100 Oficiální Týden - 201018

but Singlechart produces a reference line like

"ČNS IFPI". Hitparáda - TOP50 Prodejní. IFPI Czech Republic. Note: insert 201018 into search. Retrieved 2010-06-03.

The obvious thing is, they don't match. Probably the biggest concern here is the discrepancy between TOP100 and TOP50. It sure looks like a top 100 list to me.

Additionally, this line continues its italicization beyond the Note and into the Retrieved date string. I'll bet this is a problem with all of the macros which produce such notes (you don't turn off the italics at the end), though I've neither looked nor tested.. — JohnFromPinckney (talk)

Hi, another note on the singles chart macro for the Czech republic: It produces a Wikilink to IFPI, when really it should be International Federation of the Phonographic Industry or, better yet IFPI. Just IFPI leaves an ugly "redirected from" when you click on it. Janfrie1988 (talk) 16:58, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

And yet another note: The above is also true for the Spanish chart macro, which creates the wikilink PROMUSICAE, which also leaves an ugly redirect message. I feel extremely silly to have to report this and not be able to fix it myself. Cheers. Janfrie1988 (talk) 00:34, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

My objection is that its ugly, its as simple as that. Editors usually take great care to limit those redirect messages to as few as possible, I have encountered them very rarely when clicking on wikilinks. Wikilinking is one of the core mechanics of Wikipedia that set it apart from other encyclopedias. It should be as comfortable, easy and unconfusing as possible. This "data garbage" of redirect messages is unnecessary. Anyhow, where can I find the templates? I would feel a lot better if I at least could fix stuff myself. Janfrie1988 (talk) 00:47, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

The redirect messages are just a trifle, sure - but an unnecessary trifle. You were right about the redirects. I don't like it but it seems to be the community consensus. Redirects are not one of the reasons im am no fan of these macros in general, however. We already discussed these reasons earlier. For the sake of more effectively controlling vandalism I could live with them, though, if (and only if) they work not the least bit less than manual sytax. The reason I might have sounded angry was, as I specified on the talk page here, that a chart position (Spain's) was removed because the source in the macro was outdated. In that, the macro effectively made the article worse, which is reason enough for me to take it out until it works perfectly. And there were more issues. The Finnish source is outdated, too. The Austria macro doesn't display that the source is in German, the Czech source urged the reader to tipe the week in a search field, when there could be a direct link to artist and song. This probably isn't even fixable on a macro level, since we would need a command that automatically completes the URL depending on the article the macro is used in. This may all be trifles but there are a lot of them - and in sum they make the article worse, sources harder to check. However, my most important critique would still be that the macros use second-hand sources instead of the official ones. Second-hand sources often lack behind and multiply the chance of errors. Sorry for being so confrontational. It is not my intention to put your work down. All I am asking is that macros should be used with caution and only if it is ensured that they work flawlessly and use correct sources. Janfrie1988 (talk) 01:35, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Alright, seeing that those trifles are bugs you are working on, I think this is settled. Thanks again for your work. I still don't totally get why you expose yourself to that, though ;). Besides all the work, you probably get shit from all sides. And all that for a little protection from vandalism? To be honest, so far I haven't nearly been as annoyed by vandalism as I have by people who take out correct but unsourced chart positions because they were too lazy to look for a source and just assumed the positions were wrong :P. Oh, besides, your buddy JohnFromPinckney has done quite a good job at defending/explaining your work here. Cheers Janfrie1988 (talk) 04:37, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Hungary

Looking at Hungary, it seems as though we could build up a URL given a week/year pair as with other macros. For example, after doing my search for Ke$ha's Tik Tok, I click through to http://www.mahasz.hu/?menu=slagerlistak&menu2=archivum&lista=radios&ev=2010&het=17&submit_=Keres%E9s which shows me the Rádiós Top 40 chart for week 17 of 2010. Since I figure you've researched this, maybe there's some reason we couldn't (always) get there with {{singlechart|Hungary|2|year=2010|week=17}}. Or maybe they've changed things? — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 11:59, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Howdy - have I entered something incorrectly here? It's been stagnant for quite a while and this sock is editing fast & furious. I don't see it on the main page awaiting checkuser so I'm thinking there's a step I need to do in order to relist it. You submit these more often than I; how can I get it re-listed ASAP? - eo (talk) 20:10, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Gaga

Hello Kevin, I believe you would understand the revert which I made, because clearly you see teh fancrufty addition of singles, and the dead Rolling Stone link. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 07:16, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

The template looks good. One question, is there any way we can use en-dash between words, like "Ultratop.be – LAdy Gaga – Bad Romance (song)". Just asking. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 07:21, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

The en-dash should be used in the title of the reference, as I stated above. When two words are spaced by dash, use an en-dash in them instead of the normal dash. If you can point me the template source code, I can do the change myself. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:11, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

OK. Then I don't think we can replace those dash in the title with en-dash, can we? Maybe we can include some replacement code which automatically searches the HTML title, and replaces "-" with "–" ? --Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:46, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Didn't I mention it before? My bad. Actually normally I have seen that at FACs, reviewers sometimes ask if the normal dashes in the reference titles can be replaces by en-dash, to have a consistency with the en and en-dashes throughout the article. Recently, even I also started doing the same. Hence just asking if there's a possibility of doing the same with the template to carry forward this consistency. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:54, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Ya. A discussion is the better way. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 04:06, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Clarification re Inniverse

I'll admit that I've become rather frustrated with AN's behavior at AfDs and elsewhere in Wikipedia space at times, but my main objection has always been to his damage in the mainspace in his efforts to prevent deletions. Personally, I'd be happy just to go my gnomish way without worrying about sockpuppets and copyvios and hoaxes and all the other nonsense that goes on here, but I seem to be incapable of not occasionally finding myself sucked into such things. If it turns out that Inniverse = AN, however, any vestiges of good faith I have will be utterly exhausted—I'll pursue him wherever he pops up. I apologize if I seemed to undercut your SPI filing; I had thought a good deal about the matter and had tentatively concluded that the new user was unlikely to be AN and felt that I should say so. He could very well have fooled me, though. Deor (talk) 00:24, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

a new brexx sockpuppet?

Im wondering if there is a potential sock puppet going on here. The user in question is Palmlipbalm‎ (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). im dubious because though obviously a new account he/she appears to be editing similar articles to other Brexx socks including Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel and those related to Monica. Palmlipbalm doesn't appear to be acting like a new user... he/she is editing like many of the most recent socks of Brexx did, once warned about inserting improperly cited material he/she is proceeding to add as many links as possible to try and verify details even though the links provided are not sufficiently WP:verifiable. I'm not sure if it definately is a Brexx sock... but it could be worth a brief overview from your expertise. Regards, Lil-unique1 (talk) 17:00, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Possible violation of user unblocking

Hi there. I have suspicions that user Wiki-11233 has broken the terms of being unblocked by using an alt account. Details can be found here: Wikipedia talk:Sockpuppet investigations/Archives/Archive8#Is this a sock puppet?.

In a nut-shell, Panda.1001 was blocked as sock puppet of Wiki-11233, and I suspect that I'm-Back-1001 (on both Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons) is a sock puppet of Panda.1001 (and by extension Wiki-11233) due to the specific edits made by the two accounts.

An investigation has been filed by TFOWR and I'm-Back-1001 has already been blocked, but I noticed that on Wiki-11233s page that "This user has been unblocked on a trial basis, and is currently subject to the following restrictions: 1. No alternate accounts, and no anonymous editing: all edits must be performed under this account..." and "If you believe this editor is editing in violation of these restrictions, please contact Kww.", so here I am. I don't know if this is necessary (due to the investigation being filed) but I thought I should probably let you know anyway. Alphathon^TM (talk) 21:44, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bonnie Pemberton

Think you could read over that one again? The only "keeps" cite CatFancy as a source, and I think Deor's refutation of that argument is reasonable.—Kww(talk) 14:36, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

If there had been no !votes other than Deor's nomination and Ponyo's !vote, that would not have been sufficient to delete the article. Therefore, even if I were to discount all the keep !votes, which I don't, there would still not be sufficient consensus to delete.

Icelandic Chart

• Of course i haven't got a definite proof etc., but these sentences: "Lagalistinn inniheldur mest spiluðu lögin á Íslandi og er unninn úr gögnum frá Rás 2, Bylgjunni, FM957, X-inu, Kananum og tonlist.is" & "Spila allan listann Setja í lagalista og fleira Kaupa valin lög Setja lög í spilara

Netlistinn er byggður á sölu og streymi íslenskrar og erlendrar tónlistar á Tónlist.is. Tekið er mið af seldum lögum annars vegar og spiluðum lögum hins vegar (streymi). Aðeins eru tekin lög inn í listann sem bæði er mögulegt er að kaupa og hlusta á í áskrift. Þannig gefur listinn góða mynd af vinsælustu lögunum á Tónlist.is í hverri viku. Listinn er samansettur af þúsunum seldra og spilaðra laga en aðeins eru birt 30 efstu opinberlega." can be called as reliable - in my opinion, and we are here just to build up something, we should not just decide easily whether they are unreliable or not. --Triancula (talk) 00:23, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

• I used Google Translate as you guess, there is not much translators from Icelandic to English, whatever, and with these sentences, i got that the charts are compiled with the Icelandic radio stations' top list and tonlist digital download - a system just like Nielsen's, IFPI's. If it was only a digital and a "marketing" site, they would not have cared the radio stations etc. --Triancula (talk) 01:05, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I looked into our little problem here. I know this is no proof for reliability but when you enter "Iceland singles" into Wikipedia search, there are quite some articles who include Icelandic positions and use tonlist.is as a source, including Is It True?, This Is My Life (Eurobandið song) and this year's ESC entry from Iceland Je ne sais quoi (song). Thoughts? Janfrie1988 (talk) 03:27, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Still undecided. If it's a legitimate chart, it needs to go into WP:GOODCHARTS and {{singlechart}}, and I don't do either one lightly. I'll probably find the Iceland wikiproject and ask about it.—Kww(talk) 03:37, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Climate change

An Arbitration request in which you are involved has been opened, and is located here. Please add any evidence you wish the Arbitrators to consider to the evidence sub-page, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Climate change/Evidence. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Climate change/Workshop.

Additionally, please note that for this case specific procedural guidelines have been stipulated; if you have any questions please ask. The full outline is listed on the Evidence and Workshop pages, but please adhere to the basics:

• The issues raised in the "Sock Puppet Standards of Evidence" and "Stephen Schultz and Lar" requests may be raised and addressed in evidence in this case if (but only if) they have not been resolved by other means.
• Preparation of a formal list of "parties to the case" will not be required.
• Within five days from the opening of the case, participants are asked to provide a listing of the sub-issues that they believe should be addressed in the committee's decision. This should be done in a section of the Workshop page designated for that purpose. Each issue should be set forth as a one-sentence, neutrally worded question—for example:
  • "Should User:X be sanctioned for tendentious editing on Article:Y"?
  • "Has User:Foo made personal attacks on editors of Article:Z?"
  • "Did Administrator:Bar violate the ABC policy on (date)?"
  • "Should the current community probation on Global Warming articles by modified by (suggested change)?"

The committee will not be obliged to address all the identified sub-issues in its decision, but having the questions identified should help focus the evidence and workshop proposals.

• All evidence should be posted within 15 days from the opening of the case. The drafters will seek to move the case to arbitrator workshop proposals and/or a proposed decision within a reasonable time thereafter, bearing in mind the need for the committee to examine what will presumably be a very considerable body of evidence.
• Participants are urgently requested to keep their evidence and workshop proposals as concise as reasonably possible.
• The length limitation on evidence submissions is to be enforced in a flexible manner to maximize the value of each user's evidence to the arbitrators. Users who submit overlength diatribes or repetitious presentations will be asked by the clerks to pare them. On the other hand, the word limit should preferably not be enforced in a way that hampers the reader's ability to evaluate the evidence.
• All participants are expected to abide by the general guideline for Conduct on arbitration pages, which states:
• Incivility, personal attacks, and strident rhetoric should be avoided in Arbitration as in all other areas of Wikipedia.
• Until this case is decided, the existing community sanctions and procedures for Climate change and Global warming articles remain in full effect, and editors on these articles are expected to be on their best behavior.
• Any arbitrator, clerk, or other uninvolved administrator is authorized to block, page-ban, or otherwise appropriately sanction any participant in this case whose conduct on the case pages departs repeatedly or severely from appropriate standards of decorum. Except in truly egregious cases, a warning will first be given with a citation to this notice. (Hopefully, it will never be necessary to invoke this paragraph.)

The problem is that a irani user has been grossing MJ sales without sources since I don't know how many time. He started as an IP user with the articles Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix and List of best-selling remix albums worldwide, after I left a message, he/she stopped. but then return as Speed 108 (talk · contribs), then was blocked and return as Speed 118 (talk · contribs), later as another IP, then as User:13711337kop (talk · contribs) and finally as Ray romano Brad garret (talk · contribs). Blood, the list, and dangerous were protected yesterday, but he returned today as Hustler Playboy (talk · contribs) and Goldfingertt (talk · contribs). Double album were protected today for the same. Like I said at WP:AIV it is impossible that new users edit the same articles with pourly sourced content, if it would be truth, a lot of other users still doing the same and information would appear.

Hi, Kevin. I haven't scrutinized all of your latest changes, but I have a bit of feedback for you, possibly some more work to throw on the heap.

1. The reference for Billboardpopsongs has what looks like a stray Billboard in front.
2. To match cite web, the period that's currently before " (in Swahili) " should come after, as in " (in Swahili). " So,

   ^ "Lescharts.com - Rihanna - Rude Boy" (in French). Les classement single. Hung Medien.

   instead of

   ^ "Lescharts.com - Rihanna - Rude Boy". (in French) Les classement single. Hung Medien.

3. Spain and Sweden don't seem to have any period at all, either before or after the language. Or maybe the other macros just have an extra period, before the language, and Spain and Sweden are the exceptions which do it right (making #2 above a question of removal rather than shifting).
4. Spain is shown as (in Spanish), but it's really English. (See my test results table.)
5. I suspect you copied the Czech Republic macro and tweaked it for Slovakia. I see some things in Slovakia that I think need changing: The "ČNS" should be "SNS"; the language for Slovakia should be Slovak; and "IFPI Czech Republic" should be "IFPI Slovakia" as in

   "ČNS IFPI" (in Slovak) Slovakian Singles Chart. IFPI Czech Republic. Note: insert 201018 into search. Retrieved June 7, 2010.

   Also, I'm not sure we shouldn't change the adjective in "Slovakian Singles Chart" to "Slovak" (or just use "Slovakia"), since I get the impression that "Slovakian" is generally considered wrong (at least by Slovaks). But why isn't this bit parallel to the Czech reference line, something more like:

   "SNS IFPI" (in Slovak) Hitparáda - RADIO TOP100 Oficiálna. IFPI Slovak Republic.

   ? (Text paralleling Czech based on Google Translate result.) Or maybe the Czech ref should look more like Slovakia does now. I'm, uh, disturbed by the difference for two sources so similar.

6. I still have intentions of updating the template documentation. I will findmake time soon.
7. Did you mean to use your local copy of the template in this edit to Satellite (Lena Meyer-Landrut song)?

BTW [complete change of topic], thanks for stepping in with 79.120.129.186. I guess I probably didn't need to leave him a comment at all, and I believe I could have worded it differently, or maybe dropped in a smiley or something. I think I was frustrated at the repetitive addition of unconstructive fan drivel on Talk:Recovery (Eminem album), and thought I could educate at least one user. Total fail. Thanks again, though. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 12:32, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Test results, doc, remarks

I've done some testing, though I haven't covered everything yet. I've also been in the documentation, as you've probably seen. Here're some notes from both:

1. Dude, I love your periods now. I can't find any that are misplaced or "different". Yay.
2. I complained about Spain being incorrectly labeled (in Spanish), and you fixed it, but the other Hung charts from non-German countries are also in English, namely: Finland, Italy, Norway, Sweden. Sorry I didn't notice this before.
3. Norway seems to always go to Hung, even with year & week present (or only one). Is it borked or am I overlooking something (I think you fixed this once, and I even helped, but I don't see what's wrong now).
4. I like the refname thingy. I tested it on only two macros, but it's cool.
5. I tested the Error test for Irish chart. OK.
6. I've added an example to the documentation showing an error message for Hungary. I did this by using a live, erroneous Hungary macro. I hope this won't disturb you when it shows up on your radar as an error. If it does, we can change it to a manually-entered red text.
7. Bulgarian error message (bad URL) is not red, but black. Do you care?
8. Please look at my descriptions of the flavors of Denmark (mmm, Danish!) to verify that I have correctly and appropriately described the situation. I've forgotten who was complaining about our use of Hung archives or where s/he was doing it, but I remember not being clear on what hir concerns were. Check me.
9. Was there some special reason, like the Danish concern of a change in 2007, that you made Norway conditional too? Or was it just a cool option you built in to make users happy (and because you knew how then)? Editors get to pick one or the other by way of providing week/year, for whatever song or time period they want to, right?
10. I believe that Billboardcountrysongs refers to the chart WP describes as Hot Country Songs (Billborad's f=357 chart). I've added that link in the doc table, but it appears that the macro doesn't link there. It's probably best to wait until we get some consensus about renaming, but I suggest you put this on the list of targets for when you do change them

I have to go back to real life so I'm probably done with the documentation for the day (unless you don't like Denmark or something you tell me about soon). I haven't tested Hungary or your new UK and BB macros, nor reviewed the appropriateness of the doc's examples. There's always tomorrow... — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 15:37, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Don't let me confuse you with the way I phrased #2 above. Only Austria and Germany are in German. Switzerland has a German version of the site, but you don't point to it; you point to the English one. Better point you to my big table again, just to be sure. I believe only Finland, Italy, Norway, Sweden need changing. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 13:46, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Denmark

I'm having some trouble with Denmark (but then, the Swedes do, too). I'm trying to use {{singlechart|Denmark|7|artist=Blue|song=One Love|year=2002|week=43}} on One Love (Blue song), but when I include the week and year in the macro, the resulting ref is http://www.hitlisterne.dk/default.asp?w=45&y=2002&list=t40 , which doesn't include any charts/positions. I chose week 45 and year 2002 after poking around and finding http://hitlisterne.dk/lister.asp?w=45&y=2002&list=s20 , which shows only the top 20 but happens to include this song. The Denmark 2007 macro goes to the same (unsatisfying) page.

1. Did the fine folks at Hitlisten.NU change something, or did we break something recently?
2. Would you prefer stuff like this posted here, or over at Template talk:Singlechart?

— JohnFromPinckney (talk) 08:22, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

I've done more research. It seems that Hitlisten.NU has a two-part archive. Singles from Week 1 of 2006 up to the present are shown on 40-song charts at http://www.hitlisterne.dk/default.asp?w=1&y=2007&list=t40 (where w= points to the week and y=points to the year). Songs before that, namely from Week 1 2001 to Week 53 2006, are shown as 20-song charts at http://hitlisterne.dk/lister.asp?w=1&y=2001&list=s20. So, now I request more logic to choose the Top 20 or Top 40 list (and respective URL) depending on the year. Can you do that? I'm not sure you test values anywhere. Yet. Thanks and good luck. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 08:33, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

The Best Damn Thing chart

Hi, I'm still a bit new to Wikipedia so I was wondering what the problem was with the charts. I was just a bit confused what I did wrong: was it that I added a seperate 'ref' column or was it that I didn't format the references correctly?

Single Chart

I did not revert. I only changed it to the format that the article is already based with. It is inconsistent now. And if people discussed about adding the format without just adding it and not warning any editors about it, it becomes a problem. I have learned this too with my own edits. And if specifying the chart is the problem that you guys have, it can be specified manually. Please just maintain the article with the format it already is using. Changing the entire article to singlecharts would be too long of a task because the lead and "Chart performance" section would need to be redone. And the references would be left inconsistent as well, as the single chart formatting is different than how it is. -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 00:12, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Nelly Again

It seems this issue has been brought up again! It seems some can't get it through their head that for a foreign born person to get citizenship they most go through the process of obtaining the citizenship e.g they are not automatically a citizen as soon as they pop out of the oven ,that is erroneous.I have not seen one iota source that she has actually claimed Portuguese citizenship before or at the beginning of her fame,it is clear that it should just say Canadian Singer than talk about her ethnic ties down the line in which it plain as day does.

Here are some examples Here you will see Steve Perry who is of Portuguese descent but born in the USA,it clearly says he is an "American singer" and than talks about his ethnic background down the line.Now Nuno Bettencourt says Portuguese-American but Bettencourt was born in Portugal and lived their till the age of 4 or 5 that of course is a different story and calls for an multi nationality.--Wikiscribe (talk) 17:45, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Can't say without looking at the invidual requests. The usual problem is that many people don't understand that the release date in the infobox is the earliest date the song became available for purchase. Sometimes the infobox is right, but people want to change it to an airplay release. Sometimes the infobox has the airplay release and people want to correct it to the sales release.—Kww(talk) 19:50, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Possible Sockpuppet case

User:Samil20 has used two accounts to attempt to edit war with me and aviod WP:3R on The Darkside Vol. 1 and 2010 in hip hop music. He has used Ip address User:216.18.244.48 as his second account. I would think this would count as abusing two accounts. Just wondering since your like the best person in Wikipedia to deal with sockpuppets :). He admited that he uses both accounts here. STAT -Verse 20:59, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

If I may explain the situation. I do sometimes forget to login to wikipedia at work and I do some edits. I only have one account though. The IP address 216.18.244.48 is from my work computer. From what I understand this is not a case of "sockpupetting", I haven't tried to create additional accounts from work and home, or any other location. If this is a violation in any way I do apologize as it is not my intention to break any of the rules, guidelines or policies of wikipedia. My account is, and has always been, Samil20. revolutionary (talk) 21:56, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Just to clarify, STAT, I was not attempting to engage in an edit war with you or any other user, I was simply making constructive edits with summary explanations of why they were made. If I was trying to deceive you, or anyone else, by using two accounts why would I admit to it on your page? I was simply stating, in response to your comment, that this was not a "random IP". revolutionary (talk) 22:12, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

OK, I've looked things over, and there's not much I can do except to caution you both, with a stronger caution to Samil20. Editing anonymously in combination with a named account creates a strong impression that you are cheating the system. I've looked your edits over and don't think that you have been (given your admission, and I don't see a 3RR violation), but you need to be more conscientious about logging in. STATicVerseatide's sense of frustration in that regard is understandable.

As for the both of you, take your issues to a talk page and talk about it. There's no need for the constant back and forth editing.—Kww(talk) 22:47, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Inniverse identified himself - unblocked

FYI -

After some discussion on unblock-en-l and privately with me, Inniverse identified himself and I was able to cross-verify his identity with a professional organization. This meets the normal real-world identification criteria we use to establish that someone's a real person and not another made-up sockpuppet in unblock reviews - we haven't met them in person, but we have sufficient information to establish their identity to reasonable certainty.

As I said earlier, there was nothing wrong with the presumptive sockpuppet identification - the geographical area and behavior match was reasonable. As admins we all have to acknowledge that we're acting on imperfect knowledge, and sometimes we'll have mistakes in doing so. We can neither be paralyzed with indecision in the face of compelling evidence nor be unwilling to acknowledge mistakes when they happen. You made a good call - later evidence showed something else.

I'm notifying you here, and also indicated this on his user talk page etc.
