for reverting the vandalism on O-Zone. It was on my watchlist, but I'd never looked in the history, so I thought it was just a really short article. I'd been planning to expand it, but now I realize I don't have to. -- Soap Talk/Contributions 00:57, 13 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi.

Well, i`m not sure what do you mean by "fairly obvious" but i only did it because that`s what the project guidelines says an article must have, without it they are just stubs. That`s it. Zidane tribal (talk) 01:19, 1 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Repeated action counts of removal of content they do not like can be considered vandalism, and your warning was done in complete bad faith as you could have just left a message on my talk like I have done. MS (Talk|Contributions) 20:55, 15 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

I did leave a message on your talk page—warning you not to warn users not actually vandalizing pages. A warning is a message. How was my edit done in bad faith? By the way, remember your initial edits to Sunrise/Sunset (Love Is All)? Without making a AfD at all, you repeatedly blanked the page, although multiple users didn't agree with doing so. I didn't believe the article violated WP:NSONGS then and I don't think it did now either. Like I said earlier, discuss controversial edits on talk pages. And please don't delete my comments on your talk page, otherwise Template:Uw-tpv1 will end up accompanying that warning. Eugeniu B +1 21:11, 15 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
A warning is a warning. A user friendly warning such as a minor message like above is considered a message. About the "Sunrise/Sunset" article I did not "blank" the page. I redirected the page, which was acceptable per WP:NSONGS, which it failed at the time. A AFD usually results in the deletion of a page hence the title Articles for deletion. I did not want the page deleted because in time it might become notable. There is a difference between deletion a article and redirecting it. Sure multiple editors disagreed with it, fans like that often do. Do not threaten me with warnings. Read WP:TPOC, I can remove your comment if I chose. And if you paid attention to the note on my talk it states I am watching your talk so I would reply to you on your talk. MS (Talk|Contributions) 21:38, 15 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
How intriguing. Please, tell me where in this Wikipedia is a user friendly warning such as a minor message like above is considered a message, while a message using a template is not a message. I would love to know, since I've never heard of such an absurd claim. What part of WP:TPOC lets a user delete a message? The only one I can think of is #4, which deals with removing personal attacks and incivility. Please refresh yourself on those terms by visiting wiktionary:personal attack and wiktionary:incivility respectively. Eugeniu B +1 22:28, 15 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
On your own user talk page, you may remove others' comments, although archiving is generally preferred. Its there on WP:TPOC. So please refresh yourself on the TPOC. Calling me a Talk page stalker is a personal attack if you did not know, which I'm pretty sure you did. Anyone knows that a warning is a warning. It does not take a guideline or a policy to tell you that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MS (talkcontribs) 22:41, 15 December 2009
Is it still a personal attack if the author admits that it was a joke and was meant to be humorous? When did I actually call you a talk page stalker anyway. (If you were wondering, I watch your page too.) But you still didn't answer my biggest question, how was my warning on your talk page considered bad faith? I just didn't want to craft out a warning that already and conveniently exists as a template. Of course that didn't work, since it caused this long conversation.

Recent edit to Live Prayer

edit

Hello,

I reverted your recent edit to Live Prayer. While it is true that the large font size did not appear in the original, this is not the issue as this large font size appears throughout the entire quote. The statement "emphasis in original" is denoting the fact that the original source had the statement "FOR THAT REASON, HE WILL NOT BE RE-ELECTED" in all caps, whereas the rest of the text used normal capitalization. Your edit was reverted as you removed the statement "emphasis in original" for no valid reason as it was added per WP:MOS.

At most, one external link to a commercial topic is usually allowed. The exceptions are rare, and they are definitely not blogs that give readers personal commentary on how difficult it is to shop for shoes.

Recochoku

edit

Well,the RIAJ Top Digital Songs chart does pass, which is the exact same thing as the Recochoku charts. The RIAJ Top Digital Songs is literally just the Recochoku charts posted on their website lol. It says at the top, (「着うたフル(R)」), which is the chart made by Recochoku. If you notice, RIAJ has stopped publishing this chart. That is because Recochoku now publishes the cahrt itself.

I'm not trying to start a war or anything. Maybe we could work towards getting Recochoku recognized (since right now, essentially part of Recochoku --the part that the RIAJ had published-- is recognized while the part that the RIAJ did not publish is not.) Impracticable (talk)

Ok, I understand. The first thing I would do to get Recochoku recognized is to update the information on RIAJ Digital Track Chart, and perhaps move it to a different name if that seems appropriate. Then I think since it's basically the same chart, you can make the name change to Recochoku (or whatever the weekly chart is called) on Wikipedia:Record charts yourself, then note the change on Wikipedia talk:Record charts.
The problem I see for Ayumi Hamasaki discography specifically is that there's no space for the digital chart info for Together When... and placing it under the Oricon chart info would be inappropriate. The best idea I think we can do if we want to keep the digital chart info for Together When... is removing the whole single from that table and making a new table for it in a section called "Japan-released digital singles" or something like that. Sorafune +1 05:53, 12 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
In regards to there being no room for Rechochoku/RIAJ charts, i'm thinking maybe we should change the format of her singles charts. Instead of having the daily peaks, monthly and weekly peaks (which can just be put into the main article) we leave the weekly Oricon peaks, keep the Billboard AIRPLAY peaks (because their Hot 100 is a little silly to begin with.) and use Recochoku for digital. Also, or sales, maybe we should emrge Full Song (Chaku Uta Full) with physical sales (considering digital sales have taken over physical sales, it's a little silly to not include them)

I'm thinking maybe a format like this.

Japanese-released singles

edit
Year Title Charts/Sales Certifications Album
Physical Sales Digital Sales Airplay Physical Sales Digital Sales Ringtones Full Song Physical
2009 "Sunrise ~Love Is All~" 1 1 15 110,169+ 750,000+ 2x Platinum Platinum Gold 11th Studio Album
"Sunset ~Love Is All~" 11
"You Were..." 1 3 43 114,725+ Gold
"Ballad" 36
2010 "Microphone"
"Don't Look Back"
"Sexy Little Things"

Opinions?

PS, just for the record, I've been the one who's done all the major format revisions of this specific table for the last year or so. (I added certifications, the Billboard section, etc). I feel like a change of this caliber will make it easier to read and simpler, but also more accurate. Instead of showing a billion sales charts (no really, 5 is way too many) and 3 billboard charts (one of which is a sales chart and one is a hybrid sales & airplay) why not have 3 charts that show the three different formats? correct?

My issues: Songs chart seperately on digital charts when they chart together on physical charts. So, that's the reason for that split up. But which song does the physical sales go to? both?

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Personally I much rather prefer having the daily/weekly/monthly/yearly ranks all in there because they're very convenient in comparing the popularity of her singles all at once. I'm also very unsure about having different songs of a single split up, since this is a chart specifically about her singles, not her songs, and splitting them up could imply separate releases. I still think having a main singles table and a second digital-release table would solve this, as well as indication of physical sales for the singles. Sorafune +1 05:54, 15 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Pandora

edit

Please don't change the meaning of a sentence and call it a "Reword."

You took the true, referenced fact that on Feb 8th the final case molds were approved, and "reworded" it into an assertion that mass production had begun, and that units had begun to ship in "early February". Both are false.

In fact, no final units have gone to customers because none have been made yet.

"Mass Production" is a little vague, but no manufacturing of interest has "started" recently. The electronics were mass produced months ago, the joystick nubs over a year ago, and the mass production of the plastics will begin either late February or early March.

Sorry, Mr (Miss?) Sorafune, but it was not just a funeral procession in an Orthodox church (which would not be allowed at any rate!). It was an Orthodox *funeral service* (at a ROCOR church at that!) which ARE NOT prayed for non-Orthodox.

How about this for proof: a note on Fr. Sergius at http://www.theophanydesigns.com/rcs/sources.html

SHUKIN * Father Sergius (t1978) A priest who recently died in Canada. When he was a young man he traveled to Optina Monastery to get advice from Elder Nektary concerning how he should live a Christian life in an antichrjstian society. Having concocted elaborate plans in his mind as to how to start secret catacomb lay brotherhoods, he approached the Elder and asked him what he should do. Elder Nektary replied calmly, “Step by step.” Father Sergius left humbled, yet he followed the Elder’s advice, and after suffering for many years, he was ordained reader by Patriarch Tikhon himself and eventually became a priest, later emigrating to the West. He has provided a fascinating description of the life of the Catacomb Church (in which he describes himself in the third person as “Paul”). He kept abreast of information Concerning Orthodoxy in the Soviet Union (see Pp. 162-79), and personally interviewed Sergei Kourdakov at which time he discovered that he was an Orthodox Christian (see “The Orthodox Word”, no. 59, Nov.-Dec. 1974). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Orthohawk (talkcontribs) 02:58, 14 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Shinee

edit

Hi! If you remember, you edited the Shinee article with me. I need your help again. Shinee is releasing its second full-length album soon and it seems a whole load of unregistered users (or DA fans!) have started to edit the GA status article a lot. They have even disturbed the general layout without discussion (all musician biographies on wikipedia are required to follow a general layout that can't be changed). Since, they don't even know about the rules and standards of wikipedia it is impossible to hold them back. We rather edit other articles than keep reverting their mindless fandom. But I think it had now become important that we make a separate Shinee discography article. Fans have added even the track listings. This had really messed up the page, but I dont want the GA status to go away since we worked so hard on it :'( . Shinee has now two albums and three EPs (thats even more than Girls' Generation who have only two albums and two EPs, and debuted one and a half year before Shinee). What is your opinion about a separate discography article? Will you help again? Reply please, I have watchlisted your page. Farjad0322 (talk) 09:39, 19 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

This is alarming indeed; I'm seeing MOS violations all over the place! First, I want to point out that discography sections and articles should in all but the rarest of cases never have tracklists in them. The tracklists should only appear in the album/single articles themselves. Now I have to admit that I still wouldn't support a separate discography article because the size of the Shinee article is still quite small, as is the discography. When splitting off discographies, it's important to also note how large the discographies are in terms of how much information there is for every release. Girls' Generation discography has much more information on their singles, as well as information on their music videos. In any case, the GG discography has information about 59 releases, while the Shinee discography section has only 12. If the Shinee discography had more information on their singles, a music videos section (which actually probably isn't needed), and more releases in general, then it would be a different case. For now, I'll help out with removing all of the fancruft and restoring original and more decent content. エムエックスさん 05:19, 20 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Regarding HuH

edit

Although it is true that the song charted at #3 on the Gaon downloads chart, the chart is based on the best selling songs of each week, meaning various album tracks are eligible to chart. An example on this week's chart would be Taeyang's "I Need a Girl". It's at number five this week, but its position is based from downloads of that song from the album, which is why if you scroll down you can find "Just a Feeling" at #79 and "You're My" at #87 - both of which are also album tracks from Solar. Hope that helped! :) ~ Hayilim (talk) 21:38, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hm, that's very strange. In that case, since the song was released only in Hit Your Heart, do you think it would be better to merge HuH (song) into Hit Your Heart? Unless it does get released separately in the future, it's very unlikely that the article will be expanded, and the information that it does have, like music video, performances, chart info, etc, can easily be included in Hit Your Heart. Either way, all of the information in the article for HuH should be included in the album along with similar information for other songs in the album anyway. エムエックスさん 22:13, 26 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Great suggestion, I will start on that now. Would redirecting HuH (song) to Hit Your Heart be okay? I don't know how to merge. :P Hayilim (talk) 13:42, 27 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Yep, merging just means transferring the content and making a redirect anyway. :) エムエックスさん 14:29, 27 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading File:O-Zone_at_Cerbul_de_Aur_in_2005.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media 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 this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy.

Hi, I know you meant well, but please don't delete dead links and replace with a cite-needed template, as you did here. From WP:DEADLINK, "Except for URLs in the External links section that have not been used to support any article content, do not delete a URL solely because the URL does not work any longer. Recovery and repair options and tools are available." The citation of a dead link, especially one with an accessdate, indicates that the statement that it supports has had support, and was checked by an editor. It also provides to later editors a suggestion of where the support had been found, which is helpful in case the link is gone due to a website reorganization or move. The preferred handling is to use the {{dead link}} template. WP:DEADLINK is nice how-to guide on marking and (even better) fixing broken links. Thanks for your work.

WikiCup 2013 February newsletter

edit

Round 1 is now over. The top 64 scorers have progressed to round 2, where they have been randomly split into eight pools of eight. At the end of April, the top two from each pool, as well as the 16 highest scorers from those remaining, will progress to round 3. Commiserations to those eliminated; if you're interested in still being involved in the WikiCup, able and willing reviewers will always be needed, and if you're interested in getting involved with other collaborative projects, take a look at the WikiWomen's Month discussed below.

Round 1 saw 21 competitors with over 100 points, which is fantastic; that suggests that this year's competition is going to be highly competative. Our lower scores indicate this, too: A score of 19 was required to reach round 2, which was significantly higher than the 11 points required in 2012 and 8 points required in 2011. The score needed to reach round 3 will be higher, and may depend on pool groupings. In 2011, 41 points secured a round 3 place, while in 2012, 65 was needed. Our top three scorers in round 1 were:

  1.   Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), primarily for an array of warship GAs.
  2.   Miyagawa (submissions), primarily for an array of did you knows and good articles, some of which were awarded bonus points.
  3.   Casliber (submissions), due in no small part to Canis Minor, a featured article awarded a total of 340 points. A joint submission with   Keilana (submissions), this is the highest scoring single article yet submitted in this year's competition.

Other contributors of note include:

Featured topics have still played no part in this year's competition, but once again, a curious contribution has been offered by   The C of E (submissions): did you know that there is a Shit Brook in Shropshire? With April Fools' Day during the next round, there will probably be a good chance of more unusual articles...

March sees the WikiWomen's History Month, a series of collaborative efforts to aid the women's history WikiProject to coincide with Women's History Month and International Women's Day. A number of WikiCup participants have already started to take part. The project has a to-do list of articles needing work on the topic of women's history. Those interested in helping out with the project can find articles in need of attention there, or, alternatively, add articles to the list. Those interested in collaborating on articles on women's history are also welcome to use the WikiCup talk page to find others willing to lend a helping hand. Another collaboration currently running is an an effort from WikiCup participants to coordinate a number of Easter-themed did you know articles. Contributions are welcome!

A few final administrative issues. From now on, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Niche Syndrome CD+DVD edition - ONE OK ROCK album cover.png

edit
 

Thank you for uploading File:Niche Syndrome CD+DVD edition - ONE OK ROCK album cover.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. — ξxplicit 05:38, 21 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use File:Sunrise.Sunset CD+DVD Cover.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Sunrise.Sunset CD+DVD Cover.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 {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> 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. — ξxplicit 05:40, 21 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
