Can I ask you something?

Hi E-S! If you're free, can you create something in photoshop? — Novice7 (talk) 06:51, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

I knew something was wrong. Hope you're well now :) I don't wanna make you waste time on this, and I hope it's not something big. Well, can you add the text "The Diva..." "The Voice..." "Whitney..." (without quotes) to these pictures [1] and [2] and [3]? Any pretty font you like. I would like to use them on a Whitney-Fan forum (as my signature). — Novice7 (talk) 11:56, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Ashlee Simpson

How is that vandalism? It clearly states later on in the article, she ~IS~ changing back to Simpson. Estheroliver (talk) 18:42, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Producers etc.

First of all... thank you for your edits to Killer Love... i'm quite excited about it. However I undid the ones about the infobox for the following reasons:

1. Producers should be listed in alphabetical order not the exec first.
2. RedOne is not confirmed as the album's exec producer.
3. When there is enough room to list the full producer name e.g. Mark Taylor then it should be done... that is the norm for track listing templates but in the writer column just use surnames. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 05:47, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Goodbye Lullaby

Sorry about the comment, is just that most people reverse my edits because they don't like when I write the truth, eg: there was also an article about an album by Miley Cyrus, it said it received negative reviews and people said it didn't, but music critics gave the album, like what... 1/5 stars? i believe that's negative reviews... anyway, sorry once again for my coment :) Salgado96 19:41, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello there again. I was wondering if you could please upload an audio-sample of "Wish You were here" and put it in the composition section. The Portuguese page of "Goodbye Lullaby" has that sample in the composition section, i tried to copy it but it doesn't work here. Thank You, Salgado96 :) 19:51, 5 March 2011

:) I'm kinda over the Kylie FLC situation. On to the next one. I am working on "Better Than Today". Lil has done something to the charting sec on the actual page, I am doing that up right now. What would be wonderful for you to do is the promotional section. I have found numerous citations on, I might do it later if you don't want to. My goal for the section is to incorporate the stuff she did with the song during the For You, For Me Tour and the recent X Factor stuff too. I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 02:54, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Re: Ashlee Simpson

A little late, but I wasn't able to respond until now. I didn't say you claimed the edit was vandalism, but you used a sort of Wiki tool that is usually used for vandalism. Not very logical now that I think of it. You could of simply reverted it. Estheroliver (talk) 01:13, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Don't Hold Your Breath

Thanks for that edit to DHYB.... i knew there was something i was supposed to remove but completely forgot cus I've been occupied with On the Floor recently... — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 03:39, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

I've fixed the louboutin thing in the discog. as for the remixes I think that's right as they were released as singles from the remix album. Its quite different to when an artist simply remixes a song from an album for single release. Also it was before chart rules changed, as now many charts count remixes and singles together in one chart listing. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 03:51, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

WTF?! Why is she making us wait until we're 75? I am importing it from Ireland the day it comes out. This is ridiculous. We are going to probably get a date with something like July 30 with the way she has released no singles here yet. She shouldn't give up on the US, she just needs to be promoted here more..... and not release songs that should never be singles. I love Whatever U Like, but Supervillain and Puakenikeni really hurt her career, and it was already in the toilet. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 12:43, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Shattered Glass

Do you think it is worth being nominated for GA? --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 19:56, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Yes, but I want to point out how the Hitmixes is now a GA. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 20:08, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

I am as shocked as you are. But, of course GAs are about quality, not quantity, something that I wish today's music artists would take into account, too. :P --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 20:17, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

I am neutral on that. True, the more information, the more you understand a subject, but, there is only so much info about some articles available. The Hitmixes and Shattered Glass are examples. They should not be held from GA just because critics and media outlets didn't know it really existed. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 20:21, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, I did ask Novice to find links for SG and he found little and, of course, he is really great at finding links. I also spent over an hour searching for more info on the song and went through all the Circus reviews to find info on it. I really don't think you can understand it anymore. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 20:26, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

So... ? --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 20:53, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Hope I'm not making a bad move, but after expanding on it a bit, adding info I found, and adding in a sample, I nominated it. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 02:29, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

No Me Ames

I would say yes because I am constantly seeing stuff like "promo CD single" when it was actually released for sale, meaning a full release.

Also, I am really loving Killer Love!!!!! It looks like the best album of the year so far. And that's saying something, since it is getting competition from Femme Fatale, Love CPR, As If!, Born This Way, and Love?. (I know you have no clue what two of the albums I listed are, but they are some of my favorites from this year.) --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 23:41, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

I think she should have included "Guns N' Roses" in the track listing. It is the perfect sequel to "Poison." --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 23:46, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

I agree, Her Name Is Nicole would probably have been better, since it is much much more urban. But, then again, it had faults too. Supervillain and Puakenikeni? Puakenikeni would've been OK for the track listing, but neither of those should have been singles! I think Nicole should release a few of the best tracks from the album to iTunes or something. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 23:50, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

I say debut album because an EP is an album. It would be confusing to say debut EP because people might think that she has already released an album and this is her first extended play. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 23:54, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Really? I had no idea you liked her. I've been a fan since she released 17. Anyway, great! I have left her articles alone for awhile. I have been very caught up with other articles and I have also been less active on Wiki. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 01:18, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

OMG

Mediocre. Bad. Disappointing. Femme Fatale. All are synonyms. Nothing like Blackout. No In the Zone. No Britney. No powerful vocals. Just Dr. Luke and his robot. I'm not going to lie, the album has really awesome songs, like Gasoline (the only Dr. Luke produced song I don't hate) and Seal It With A Kiss, but it is just so bad when you compare it to her previous work. I have been waiting for this since 2009, and now that I have it I want to cry. I don't care if it takes her another year, she needs to make some major changes to this album. I posted a huge rant on the album at the Britney.com forum. I had to get it off my chest. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 01:22, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you!! Yes, ditch Dr. Luke!! Gasoline is a hot song, but he ruined everything else. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 02:13, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

I'm..... I'm just so disappointed. You can see my full rant here. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 04:34, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

No, no, no. I do think Darkchild will save the day with his two bonus tracks. WTF were they thinking not using Danja's songs. Retards. The Original Doll might have been my favorite Britney album ever. "Mona Lisa", "Chaotic", and the left over songs from In the Zone that would have been on it are in the top ten of my favorite Britney songs ever. "Mona Lisa" especially is a truly amazing song. It might be the most unique and artistic song of hers yet. Obviously, Britney's real self is beautiful and not like the media makes it out to be. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 04:44, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

-gasp- I can't even describe how much I love "And Then We Kiss." How did she come up with such an amazing song. It's so creative and so... so... original and different from anything she has ever done. And she wrote most of it. She made that piece of art. It was one of the first songs I have ever heard from her and it is still one of my top three favorites. Mona Lisa is right by it. Innovative tracks both of them. Just completely breath taking. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 04:52, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Bloodshy & Avant are definitely some of the best producers in the business. A whole album of their work would be great with me! Maybe some Danja here and there to spice it up. I really worship him for making Blackout. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 04:54, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

lol It's hard to name just 2 songs for my Blackout favorites, since the whole album is amazing! It never brings down the tempo, save for "Heaven On Earth" and "Why Should I Be Sad", and yet those to mid-temps are some of the album's highlights. I guess to choose my favorites, I would say the singles, Freakshow, Perfect Lover, Get Naked, Heaven On Earth, Toy Soldier, Ooh Baby, Hot As Ice, Get Back, Everybody, Outta This World, and Why Should I Be Sad. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 05:02, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Oh wait, that's the whole album ain't it? I just can't choose! --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 05:03, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

I was so happy when the And Then We Kiss page was brought back. I was really upset when it was removed. Sometimes, I hate WP:NSONGS. If a song has a lot of info, it shouldn't be kept from being an article because it didn't chart. Looks like that is being changed now. People seem to be ignoring that mostly. Thank God! --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 05:06, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

I agree with what you said about Get Back. "Let me see ya move/Let me see ya dance/Let me see ya bounce/ Danja, bring it back." Danja is just absolutely incredible. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 05:08, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Tell me, how did he make the magic with Loose and Blackout?!?!?!?! He has got to be one of the best producers in the world. Timbaland took too much credit on Loose. Maneater and Promiscuous have Danja all over them. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 05:15, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

RANDOM- Have you seen the Gwen commercials? I'll be sitting on the couch and then I hear "Cool" come on the TV and I'm just like "I remember that song!" lol She needs to make another solo album. Though, if she makes some more songs that are Hella Good with No Doubt, I will be completely satisfied. ANOTHER RANDOM COMMENT- I was watching TV and I heard Miles Away come on this show and I did the same thing. I get really excited when my favorite songs come on TV for no apparent reason. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 05:22, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

I know and I have read that guideline many times and I don't see how we were violating it. It's not as if we have been sitting here blogging about music for the past year. Nothing says we can't have an off-topic discussion every once in a while. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 06:03, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Jennifer Lopez discography

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Jennifer Lopez discography. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. - eo (talk) 19:45, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

RE:

No problem! & everything is good, just a whole lot of work & ready for college, but I know its probably gonna be worse then lol. And J.Lo is killin' it right now! I'm super excited about her upcoming Lil Wayne single. I like her dancey side, but she needs to bring us some urban on this record too. I thought Britney was killin' it too, but TTWE is decreased in downloads, but hopefully when the album comes out and the music video comes out, + airplay, it will top. I just hope Lady Gaga will move out the way and give shine to others, its alotta good records out now. Candyo32 01:47, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Nicole, JLO, LA Reid etc,

No i don't think LA's departure will harm Jlo's album. I think he stayed long to finish her project off. The info I've seen is that the recording is now complete, the album is being mixed and mastered, second singles are being chosen etc. Killer Love is frigging awesome. The album is completely listenable front-to-back. I love it. Haven't got the full credits yet. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 17:38, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Have you seen the so called "official" track listing over on Love?. I think it is total crap. 1. I doubt she would include so few songs after her super long recording session and 2. She said "I'm Into You" will probably be the next single. Even if it's not a single, I'm sure she would at least include it on the album. 3. One RedOne song? I think she knows better. About Killer Love, it is an amazing album! She has really done good with this. Half the album is just one super hot club hit after the other. The ballads are also incredible, thanks to her vocals. I am shocked at how strong her vocals are on the album, especially since she was always Auto-Tuned with the Dolls. I only have one complaint. Guns & Roses isn't on the album. It is the PERFECT sequel to "Poison." I love the song so much and I'm disappointed that it isn't on the album. How could she have passed the song up? "Club Banger Nation", "Wet", "Everybody", "Killer Love", and the singles are definitely the best tracks. As for the article, I am completely amazed and you and Unique's work on it, the same as with Her Name Is Nicole. All I have done is make those five small fixes to get "Poison" to GA. lol I forgot about "Poison" over my vacation and it was only until I got back that I realized that I was running out of time to get it to GA. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 15:05, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

RE: Nicole

Hey we have the crux of the album written in my sandbox. i will be working on it too try and get into the main space. feel free to get involved and use it. 2gether we could get it into the mainspace i'm sure. We'll according to itunes the credits are correct. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 21:06, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

I think US album will feature distinctly different songs. Like they'll use 50% of the UK ones but it will feature Steven Tyler collab and maybe "Guns and Roses" instead of "CBN". I think the next singles (in order) should be "Wet", "Powers Out", "Say Yes" and then end with "Casualty". — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 21:30, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps above but with "Killer Love" instead of "Wet"? Yeah im tempted to go and buy a copy of the album tomo from HMV just to sort the credits out but I really want it too. I've only ever bought one other physical album... "Leona Lewis live from the O2". — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 21:46, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ending-Start. I'm sorry to inform you that the above mentioned GA nominated article has failed. Please see here for full details on why the nomination didn't go through. Good luck!--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 17:56, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Well I'm sorry if you feel targeted or insulted. The only reason I failed it that way is because it really hasn't been nominated that long ago. Trust me, if you had it there for a month I wouldn't have, but it seemed under-prepared, especially the references. Again, I really feel bad you are this distraught by it, so I want to help you out, but please understand that almost every single reference had an issue or flaw, please see that this is a major flaw in its preparation. Again, as I said, I want to help, so I'll do this. Re-nominate it when you get the chance, I will take it under review and post a full review for you, I already have it saved on word in case, however, it is your responsibility to have it all done in the allotted time period. If you feel its enough time, please go ahead an re-nominate it immediately and I will post a full review for you. Again, no need to be hurt or insulted, while the action may appear to you not fair or just, the article is indeed under-prepared. Hope this helps!--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 04:29, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Just saw it. I have to agree. I'm sorry, but it does need quite a bit of work. Since I know you have a hard time with reference formatting, I'd be happy to help you with those. --ĈÞЯİŒ 1ооо 20:57, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Bionic GA review

Lead

• The album sees -> better wording available, the album doesn't see
• who each have three producing credits on the album -> each of whom have
• I think the review info should be placed in the second paragraph so you could incorporate that into the sales thing
• Again, as you know, the second paragraph needs a lot of expansion and work. It reads biased and does not fully cover the album's chart or commercial success
• The second single, "Woohoo", featuring American hip-hop artist Nicki Minaj, was released on May 18,
• U.S -> US for MoS
• make much of a impact -> try not to repeat phrasing so blatantly
• live appearances -> television appearances

Background

• in the summer -> during the summer
• will be -> would be. You have a lot of tense issues
• her forthcoming album will include -> would
• Aguilera has stated in the past that she takes her time between each record in order to enjoy and experience life so that musically and artistically she produces the best material. -> source?
• The second paragraph reads like a book, it needs fixing. I suggest you bunch it into a Blockquote, and surround it with more background information so it has some backbone to support all those quotes

Recording and production

• The paragraphing seems off, try and bunch it better, they are split up it seems for every song
• People magazine -> don't need to write magazine, just People
• to work with her too -> as well
• Aguilera described Furler's voice as -> if the didn't have a duet, then why do Furler's vocals matter?
• They recorded together in the studio in January 2009.[8] According to Furler's blog they wrote four songs together.[9] -> try not to have these small stop and go sentences. Also, we didn't mention anything about Aguilera taking part in the songwriting process. It would read better as "According to Furler's blog, the duo wrote four songs together during January 2009." First address the previous issue of Aguilera's songwriting
• expected to be included in the album too -> expected by who? Why?
• Ladytron members Daniel Hunt and Reuben Wu went to Los Angeles to meet Aguilera in December 2008, because they heard that they were one of Aguilera's favorite bands. There she identified what kind of Ladytron songs she liked and he added "We were impressed because she had a real deep knowledge of our music – album tracks, not just the singles!".[10] -> needs a lot of re-writing
• Ladytron said following about -> c/e
• Again, either sheer down the quote, or make it a box or Blockquote
• They finished the work with Aguilera -> finsihed the work for her. We haven't said anything about Aguilera being a song-writer or helping out
• UK band Goldfrapp -> British
• said in a January 2010 interview that they did not finish the studio session and do not know whether their songs will make the final cut -> re-write and tense
• The Australian didn't write it -> A writer from The Australian
• said that -> reported
• Dr. Dre protege -> Dre's
• What does he have to do with The Neptunes?
• Of the experience Focus... commented -> ?
• M.I.A. and Santigold -> did they in the end?
• and according to the producer -> It would be "According to record producer Tricky Stewart, -> But you have already introduced him, so its better According to Tricky Stewart
• You keep mentioning claims from rappers and producers that are not true and never happened. The way you write it it seems that it did. You have to write like "According to Tricky Stewart, Flo Rida was to be featured on the album, however, the collaboration never came into fruition
• which will appear on the album -> tense
• It was described as "a hard club song -> by who? Needs attribution
• I've noticed that this article is quite biased towards Aguilera. Most of the quotes are praising her "She's experienced" "She's professional" etc. A bit too much honestly.

Critical reception

• The music reviewer -> She, Gardner, pick
• noted that on Bionic Auguilera -> noted that on Bionic, Auguilera
• the albums -> albums?
• musicians ? musician's? better Aguilera's
• Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield gave it 2½ out of 5 stars and wrote that Aguilera goes for an electronic makeover on Bionic, which was dressing in -> gave - goes - again, tense issues
• 4 out of 5 stars -> 4 out of 5 stars,
• stated - is -> tense
• Spin magazine's -> Spin's
• Mesfin Fekadu of The Northwest Herald said that Bionic is a "disappointing" album -> no need to quote everything, you could write simply "Mesfin Fekadu of The Northewest Herald was disappointed by Bionic, then continue into another one in order to cut down the sheer bulk
• continued - will -> tense
• Added - is not - many tense issues, please copy-edit
• Way too much on and off quotes and tense problems.
• felt that for most of Bionic, which is the album's "most successful vein," -> ?
• Billboard
• Try and cut down the amount of reviews and repeats. It is way too bulky and does not read well
• Issues persist to the end of the section

Commercial performance

• Bionic had trouble in maintaining a consistent commercial performance in the international markets -> c/e
• United States Billboard 200 (first-week sales of 110,000 copies). -> no need for United States. Also, no brackets, try "with first week sales etc."
• those first-week sales -> c/e
• which hit number one -> debuted
• The following week the album fell to number nine with sales of 36,388 copies.[44] In its third week, Bionic dropped to number 22.[45 -> merge
• It has since sold 250,000 copies in the United States according to Nielsen SoundScan.[ -> switch around
• The album ranked as the year's 76th-best-selling album in the United States -> should be in the last paragraph. Also, it says 139 in the chart, not 76
• peak position, number three, on -> commas are not properly used
• In the following week, it charted at number nine. -> it fell, dropped, tumbled
• second consecutive studio album to enter at the top of the chart -> second consecutive studio album (effort) to do so
• New sentence -> With 24,000 copies sold, etc.
• However -> However is usually used when there is a contrast, like it did this, however it was still able to this. Both of the mentioned things are negative, so it should be merged with another word.
• Bionic fared somewhat better on mainland Europe -> it did?
• You go from mainland Europe to Australia. not the same
• Bionic - Bionic - Bionic. Try and mix it up. The album, Bionic, it
• becoming the singer's second consecutive studio album to top the chart.[54] The album held the top position for one week. -> merge
• This should be together with its Australian charting
• peaking at number seven, number ten and number twenty -> respectively
• On the twenty-third week of 2010 -> weird
• charts top 50 positions -> c/e
• Another successful charting territory -> another? where was the last?
• charted within the charts
• positions
• a top ten hit -> NPOV and it certainly was not a hit

Singles

• had a moderate commercial success -> I wouldn't call that moderate, as an example, it stayed in the UK chart for 6 weeks and in the top 20 for only 1.
• its aesthetic but called it unoriginal. -> its aesthetic, but called it unoriginal.
• "Woohoo" featuring rapper Nicki Minaj -> Woohoo, featuring rapper Nicki Minaj,
• due to high digital sales -> high? 148?
• source for its "not official release in the UK"?
• powerful vocals -> NPOV, better would be "vocal performance"
• Last time I checked, reviews were pretty mixed
• "You Lost Me" was released as the album's third single on July 6, 2010. The song was released to Mainstream/Top 40 radio on June 29, 2010, in the United States. -> repetative, also merge

Promotion

• This section has far too many issues to list. It is very stop and go and does not read well. Consider heavy copy-editing and re-organizing.

Overall changes

• This article is in need of some photos and audio samples. Without them, it seems quite bare.

References

• There are far too many to list, as almost all of them have issues. I will sample some for you
  1. 4 - what makes this reliable?
  2. 5 - same
  3. 9 - link
  4. 10 - blogs are not viewed as reliable
  5. 12 - same
  6. 15 - the work is The Australian, not Australian news, plus you're missing the publisher -> News Limited
  7. 19 - needs proper formatting
  8. 20 - needs accessdate
  9. 22 - needs 2 publishers
  10. 24 - needs formatting
  11. 25 - needs publisher
  12. 98 - the title is "Christina Aguilera Postpones Tour" and its missing a publisher

Well, I did this for you to help you out, and because I felt bad about the review. But understand this; A reviewer is not meant to outline hundreds of issues for obviously under-prepared articles, only to help those that are close to passing. otherwise, a failure is expected. Hope this helps. If you have other questions, feel free to come ask :)--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 23:09, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Bionic+Barnstar

Wow!! Thank you so much!!! I couldn't reply before, sorry. I'm almost done, just a few more refs to go. I felt you needed help, so thought I should jump in :D Novice7 (talk) 07:16, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Lol, formatting refs can be tedious. Don't worry. Next time, the article will pass for sure. Novice7 (talk) 07:22, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Some refs were not formatted at all. I've fixed them. Just check for reliability. I saw Blogcritics, which is not considered reliable. Other than that, it's great. Novice7 (talk) 07:31, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

I'm not good at copy-editing, lol. Maybe you should ask Diannaa. She can help out. Good night. Novice7 (talk) 07:38, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Hey!

I'm jealous of the new look of your user page (time to swagger jack... LOL. No, but really.). I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 16:42, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

I have an automatic one that I installed in late 2010 that does it every year, but I think I might bump it to a monthly basis or something. I Help, When I Can. ^[12]

Did archiving on '08, '09, and '10, but I still need to do more. I just realized how long I've been here. I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 17:31, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I used to be a STAN editor for Danity Kane, until the broke up in 2009. I was kinda lost for articles on Wikipedia and only made minor edits. But then I realized that there were plenty of other subjects to dive into, so I started diving in late 2010. What brought you here? I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 17:44, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

LMAO. It gets like that at times. I think someone started GA work on "Get Outta My Way". Was it you, or Novice7? I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 18:00, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

BTW, your a web designer, right? Let me see some of your work. I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 18:01, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

I know exactly what you mean. My design company... -_-. LOL. I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 18:08, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Designby12. I would have a website, but I haven't paid the bill out of negligence. I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 18:19, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. I try (really). What about you? I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 18:25, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

That is beautiful. Truly. What coding languages do you know? I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 18:41, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Wow. I BARELY know that much. BARELY. *Bows*. A little php, HTML, CSS, and a little JScript. That is all that I ever had to dive into to get my jobs done... I feel so behind compared to you. I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 19:21, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Showgirl

Yes. Showgirl Tours or something. But, I think that we should see how much info we can find on both, because they may warrant their own articles, and we will have to split them all over again. I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 02:12, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

OK. I'll help (One more section to do on Better Than Today, will finish tonight). I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 03:19, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

I agree. I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 03:56, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

I guess, but as I always say, there are issues with both articles that need to be dealt with before we take care of this one. I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 04:58, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Yes, but we need to keep in mind that every single Kylie Minogue activity isn't notable. Actually, this situation has inspired a Wiki essay. I will start it after Better Than Today wraps. I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 05:02, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

As of now, I don't think I will. But, if you can copy edit, I will need that in a few minutes (grammar isn't my best thing). I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 05:06, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Better Than Today

I'm done. Could you PR it for me? I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 06:52, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Are you done? I think I'm gonna submit it now. There really is nothing to horrible that can happen. I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 07:09, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Ok. I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 07:11, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

I revised your revision. Check it now. Done? I Help, When I Can. ^[12] 07:27, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

AFD notfications

Please don't notify me of AFDs unless there's something going on where an admin is necessary to prevent disruption. I participate in the ones I notice and am interested in. I'm very particular about WP:CANVASS. While you probably didn't violate it here, it's very easy for people to believe that I would be invited to AFDs just to get an additional delete vote, which would certainly defeat the spirit. In general, there's no reason to invite people to AFDs. All it leads to is accusations of canvassing and vote tampering, and makes it more likely to get AFD results overturned.—Kww(talk) 16:26, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

OH! While it crossed my mind...
