Chillin edit

Consensus is to write the artist's name as Gaga not GaGa, also read about WP:Cite web. That way you can learn about how to not repeat references in the article. Tikkuy, Im just trying to help you to make the article better. Please donot make this difficult for us. --Legolas (talk2me) 13:44, 12 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Youtube fails as a WP:RS because of copyright violations. However, if you can use some reliable video sourcing network like MTV or yahoo, I donot have any problem. About The Fame, BDR is already added in the Promotion section. Since it is not a single there is no reason to add it. And there hasen't been any consensus regarding this. User:Bradcro has been against it and even I am also. --Legolas (talk2me) 15:03, 12 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Chillin edit

Hi Tikkuy. You need to stop re-adding this stuff: [1] [2]. Both Legolas and I have repeatedly taken it out, for the reasons Legolas explained above. YouTube is not a reliable source and any claims of "critics say..." need to be backed up with a source citing the reviews. Please work constructively to improve the article; otherwise you're going to start receiving vandalism warnings. Thank you! - eo (talk) 14:45, 19 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

The main concern is copyright. There is some explanation at WP:YOUTUBE and on that entire page, actually. As far as the lead section is concerned, I do understand that.... what I could see was a "mixed to positive" claim, and then the "critical reception" section doesn't really back that up. Are there more reviews somewhere? I just see one positive and one negative later on in the article. Afterthought: Ya know, looking at this entire page as I respond to you and Legolas makes me realize there are a bunch of other little things in "Chillin" that need to be fixed too. - eo (talk) 15:18, 19 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
You cannot simply add WP:CRYSTAL and WP:RECENTISM language. It is forbidden in Wikipedia. Please stop this and listen to reason. Me and Ericorbit are doing enough to make the page right.--Legolas (talk2me) 09:50, 21 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Its not about who is adding what to the article, but about keeping reliable and factualy accurate information in it. I have told you before time and again please go through WP:RS to understand what is reliable and what is not. There are tons of things in the article which is unreliable and a complete fancruft, like myspace, loyola etc. You have to listen to reason and policies, otherwise you have to be blocked. --Legolas (talk2me) 10:16, 21 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Comment at Talk:Chillin. And its not my fault that you donot read policies and guidelines when me and User:Ericorbit have time and again asked you to read about WP:RS, WP:MoS and other policies. Since you chose to turn a blind eye on this, we have no other option than to bring it in administrative notice. --Legolas (talk2me) 11:12, 28 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
And will continue deleting it because you cannot point out to a single delete I make and term it as wrong. I know the policies and I donot hesitate to revert unreliable sources or uncomplianced additions. --Legolas (talk2me) 12:31, 28 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Seriously what rule are you talking about when you fail to make basic additions to articles and dont take into consideration that you are not the only one watching the article. --Legolas (talk2me) 12:41, 28 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Lady Gaga edit

Please donot revert changes without any explanation or reason. Understand what is WP:RECENTISM and WP:N. The reason I had deleted was because such lines as She went on record to tell Kanye that she's "gay. My music is gay. My show is gay. And I love that it's gay." is completely unencyclopedic. --Legolas (talk2me) 08:52, 17 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Also you just reverted this change of mine to introduce another line about the Chillin song. This tendency of edit warring better stop Tikkuy. --Legolas (talk2me) 08:54, 17 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
When did I say Chillin cannot be there? However you undid my edit but introduced a line instead. That is edit warring. And there's no point in threatening me because the community as a whole knows my credibility better than yours. Just because I reverted your additions doensot mean that you will go about removing sourced additions and adding unsourced content in Chillin. --Legolas (talk2me) 09:02, 17 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
Nopes. The source is a forum post and is a downright unreliable source. Even if a 1000 times better source like Billboard is found, a line like I'm gay. My music is gay. My show is gay. And I love that it's gay. And I love my gay fans and they're all going to be coming to our show. And it's going to remain gay." hardly seems encyclopedic and notable. Sorry if I came across a little too rude, I apologize for that. --Legolas (talk2me) 09:09, 17 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
The line about chillin can definitely be in. But can i ask you to format the reference? You can see WP:Cite web. It reduces the burden to format it for us. Also I was checking about Yoraps for the info. Problem is Yoraps is published by Voice Publishing Company Inc. which is under GOLIATH company profile. Now GOLIATH appears to be a business solutions sales company. These kind of sources are downright deemed as unreliable in Wikipedia. I believe a reliable source about the tour from MTV was there before Pokerdance deleted it. --Legolas (talk2me) 09:22, 17 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
Wonderful. Works like a charm! Also this one from MTV has the info about the gay thing. Though it appears to be more about the tour article than regarding the gay icon. --Legolas (talk2me) 09:43, 17 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Your Problems with Legolas & EO edit

Just to let you know you might as well leave things go when it comes both Legolas & EO. They both get to do what they want, when they want. I and others reported Legolas earlier in the year for treating the Lady GaGa page as his own and for talking down and being abusive with contributors. Wikipedia never solved the problem and from what I see he is still doing the same thing. I had the same problem with EO (EnricoOrbit) about three years ago on the Pet Shop Boy page. He came in to the argument over the Lady GaGa page and put his two cents in even though he was not involved, simply because the two of us had a disagreement in the past. It was implied I was the problem not Legolas. So I left this page go and now all evidence of all that talk is gone and nothing was ever done about legolas. But I look on the page today and see the same problem is still here. Best bet is to contribute where you can and leave pages that have certain people running them alone, especially when they want to treat it like a dictatorship. I know it shouldn't be that way, but nothing gets done even if you report these people. Legolas called me a "Dick" on the talk pages and they still did nothing about him. If your buddy buddy with certain people at Wikipedia you get to do or say what you want. If your like us, our ideas are not considered important and are thrown to the side. Save yourself the trouble and aggravation and leave the discussion. That's what I had to do. Legolas gets to do what he wants here no matter how many people complain about him (MoovieStarz (talk) 17:25, 1 November 2009 (UTC))Reply

Not much you can do edit

I gave up on the people at Wikipedia doing anything. I add the new weekly #1s at the Page for #1's in Sweden and have been trying to add past years. EO came in and tried to get the pages changed and told me it looked like crap. But others said that it looked no different from any other #1 page. He has since left it alone. They both have a particular idea how these pages should be set up and are unwilling to allow anything different. I just let Legolas know that the page for Madonna's "Celebration" single was missing 11 countries from it's list of Countries where it was #1. This was his response.

"Maximum numbers of charts added are twenty. All of these that you said are extremely minor markets and hence their absence doesnot exactly create any difference."

It hit #1 in 14 Countries. I think that is important. It's also unfair to claim that because they are minor markets they are unimportant. But as you see it's what he thinks the way things should be done. To hell with what anyone else thinks. So I may occasionally speak my mind, I won't bother reporting him. They do nothing about him.
