Hi all!!! This is Legolas and welcome to my talk page. Leave a message for me. Assume good faith
Just Dance causing Gaga's BNA snubHi there, I'm sorry to bother you, but I noticed that you reverted my edits regarding Gaga's disqualification for Best New Artist on the page for Just Dance. Twice. I certainly respect your opinion, but I'd like to explain my point of view, if you don't mind. Gaga's ineligibility for the award has been a source of much discussion and contention for several weeks now, with stories on it everywhere from respected newspapers to the lowliest of forums, and I thought that because JD was the contributing factor in that, a small mention should be made. Even though I am an -enormous- Gaga fan, I tried my best not to word the sentence I added in a biased way... this is Misplaced Pages, after all. It didn't seem to fit anywhere else in the article, and there was already a convenient segue point in the first paragraph; and needless to say, it would've bee utterly ridiculous to add a section to the JD article covering the Grammy controversy. Anyway, there's really no point in trying to add it back again, especially if I continue to face opposition (if not from you then others), but I just wanted to set the record straight. Thanks! 76.107.137.39 (talk) 07:01, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
DelayNot sure if you have noticed, but at WP:GAN I have listed both LoveGame and The Fame Ball Tour under review. Sorry it is taking me a while to do the reviews, but recently I've been really busy on alot of personnel stuff (got into a car wreck). I promise to get to both reviews by the end of the week.--WillC 09:32, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Well thank you, I try to have indepth reviews. Congrats!--WillC 23:09, 14 December 2009 (UTC) Madonna singles discographyI re-did some of the text in introductory part so that it has some typos fixed, some punctuations added, and (hopefully) it now has a better flowing text. In the future I suggest not using phrases such as "in countries like Australia". What does that mean? New Zealand? Isn't that "like Australia"? If you mean Australia itself that say so and do not use "like". Overall the page looks pretty good to me. I'll check out all the reference in the next day or two and by the end of the week I should be offering my support.

The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:The Confessions Tour (album) for things needed to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 10:13, 14 December 2009 (UTC) Hilary DuffHi. Thanks for your note. I believe we've run across one another on at least Rossrs' talk page from time to time. He and I work closely on some things. I believe you're right, his goal is to delist the article and he will find a way to accomplish this. That's why I contacted Nehrams2020 about it and have continued to ask Chasewc91 to stand down. Gprince007 had already updated some of the links pointed out as deadlinks, etc., prior to them being posted. Chase came in and simply totally removed a huge personal life section from the article, which was protested, and then opened the GAR. I've worked on GA articles in the past, in fact, I have Kate Winslet sitting on the GAN list right now, so I know what goes into achieving that status and why I've protested his delist efforts on the Duff article. What's annoyed me the most have been his setting of a deadline and the way he repeatedly has stated it will be delisted. He's biased and you're right, that's his intention. I notice Gprince007 has challenged him on his proclamations of "I have assessed these sites on my own accord" comments. I didn't work on the original GA, my efforts have mostly been toward fending off vandals and sock puppets. In that regard, do you have suspicions? Wildhartlivie (talk) 14:13, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Peripitus (Talk) 12:36, 18 December 2009 (UTC) Vandalism on deeper than rap articleHello. I'm terribly sorry to have to bother you, but i'm still learning the ropes with Misplaced Pages. I wasn't too sure how to make a formal complaint. Anyways, i'm having issues with a user constantly vandalizing the article Deeper Than Rap. the user, Dan56 has been making unnecessary edits along with responding to warnings with belligerence. apparently he's been warned for similar vandalism on other articles. Can you help? Thanks in advance! Thetruth86(talk) 05:22, 18 December 2009 (UTC) RE:This sucka's lying; beside, he keep on removing sourced information in the reception sec. of the article, which is the only thing I am reverting. Warn THIS sucka. Dan56 (talk) 23:17, 18 December 2009 (UTC) RE:Dan56 has been warned numerous times to stop vandalizing the page. In addition, he doesn't use the talk section to explain his revisions, along with responding to users with sarcasm and belligerence (as evident by the history section). He was recently blocked by admin from editing another article for those same reasons. He often edits out sourced info with unsubstantiated info. For example: he edits in "The album has sold over 403,000 copies to date". without providing a linked source in place of "To date, Deeper Than Rap has sold more than 382,000 copies" which includes two linked sources. I'll be editing that particular example back in later on today. Hopefully Dan56 can be respectful and stop vandalizing the page. I in no way, shape or form want to get into an editing war with him. I'm all for helping to keep Misplaced Pages and it's articles accurate, but i'd like to do it by the rules and in a respectful manner.

User:Tsadaqbmein, sockpuppet of banned User:BrexxHello, I saw you recently came across User:Tsadaqbmein, who, as it turns out, was a sockpuppet of banned User:Brexx. This is mostly a heads up, to notify you that you can freely revert any edits he has done. I have reverted a lot of Tsadaqbmein's edits, but edits to articles and areas I am not familiar with and where there were a lot of subsequent edits I could not revert. If User:Tsadaqbmein edited some article(s) you are familiar with, you might want to go back and double check his edits, and undo anything questionable. You may also want to visit Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Brexx/Archive to familiarize yourself with his editing habits. His identifying hallmark is an overuse of '...' and underuse of capitalization, see examples: With this latest sock, he appears to have branched out into new territory, and the more people able to identify and, if possible, report him, the better, to avoid wasting time edit warring and cleaning up after him.

Poker Face, number of weeksThe webpage www.chartstats.com/songinfo.php?id=34188 will give you a list of all Poker Face's chart positions and confirm that it has indeed had 50 weeks on the UK chart. The chartstats website is a good place to get sources for chart performance info. I've studied charts for over 40 years now and even in middle age I still find them fascinating. Something to remember though - the site lists all chart positions in the Top 100, but only those in the Top 75 form the basis of official chart statistics. So although Poker Face (great song!) has 51 positions listed as of this week, just 50 have been in the Top 75. As for it being the "joint 16th longest runner of all time", well you'll have to take my word for that! Cheers now Tonythepixel (talk) 14:54, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi Legolas2186 Thanks for your comments. It would be worth watching the future progress of Poker Face to see what gets said about its chart longevity. A good place to look (and another good source for info) is the Official Chart Commentary page compiled by James Masterton. Its address is http://new.uk.music.yahoo.com/blogs/chartwatch/ and click on the week whose commentary you wish to view. This is one page where Poker Face is likely to get a mention if it continues to add to its chart run. Statistical information like this is not just the preserve of a tiny minority. Although the UK chart is a lot less publicly visible nowadays, it is still followed avidly by a lot of people, and so an exceptionally long chart run would I think be considered encyclopaedic. I agree that songs are now achieving generally longer chart runs, thanks mainly to the staying power of many downloads, but Poker Face is still only the 19th song to reach 50 weeks in 57 years of chart history. Only another seven weeks on the chart would make it one of the ten all-time most charted singles in the UK (it would actually be joint 8th with three others). The Jason Mraz song achieved notability partly in that it clocked up its 50 weeks without ever making the Top 10, the only single that has so far done that. Regards Tonythepixel (talk) 12:08, 5 January 2010 (UTC) Your Lady Gaga lyric copyright violation and WP:SPAMThere are two issues here. First, you reinserted a link whose intent was to reference lyric copyright violation material. See my discussion about this here . The company MTV was working with appears to infringe artistic copyright "Much of the information in the Gracenote Music Recognition Service (originally known as CDDB) was initially submitted by users ". I.e., they appear not to have checked copyright status before they used material. (As it stands you re-added a link that has no lyrics and therefore no value.) Please remove the link. I've dealt with similar copyright issues before in Wiki. The second issue is whether the external link to Lady Gaga's homepage belongs on a page for one of her songsOfficial website of Lady Gaga. Your comment was "cover artist's also have their webstes added as there the song info is available". In fact the page doesn't mention the song at all. It's to a blatently commercial web page with several purchasing advertisements and a list of scheduled concerts. Regards, Piano non troppo (talk) 11:29, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Madonna 'Oh Father' Australian chart positionI don't appreciate you reverting my supposed "deliberate addition of factual error" on the Madonna singles discography page - 'Oh Father' did peak at #59, not #51, on Australia's ARIA Chart, which was (and still is) considered Australia's 'official' music chart, and has been the only chart in production here since 1999. The #51 position you've reverted to is taken from the Australian Music Report, which ARIA licensed from May 1983 until June 1988. After this time, ARIA produced its own chart in-house. This affects Madonna's chart positions from 'Like A Prayer' onwards. All of the other chart positions listed after this time on the page are ARIA Chart peaks. An online database of the ARIA Chart Top 50 singles (and albums charts) from June 1988 can be found at http://australian-charts.com/search.asp . ARIA released the top 50 chart to the public, but a full top 100 chart was available by subscription. At the present time, positions for 51-100 are not archived online, but a book published in 2009 by Gavin Ryan, 'ARIA Singles Chart Book 1988-2008' contains top 100 information from January 1990 onwards. On page 91 of this publication, 'Oh Father' is listed as peaking at #59. It entered the top 100 on 25 Dec 1989, spending 5 weeks in the chart. A pdf order form is linked on ARIA's website www.ariacharts.com.au/pages/documents/ChartBookOrderForm.pdf . Details of the book can also be found here http://www.ozmusicbooks.com/_catalog_24657/Chart_Books . David Kent, who produced the superseded Australian Music Report also published a book in 1992, 'Australian Chart Book 1970-1992' containing the Australian Music Report chart positions licensed by the ARIA Chart until June 1988, and the Australian Music Report positions from June 1988 to Dec 1992. However, the Australian Music Report was no longer considered Australia's 'official' chart during this latter period. 'Oh Father' did peak at #51 on this chart - but it makes no sense to list this position on the discography page, because, for example, 'Dear Jessie' (the following single in Australia) peaked at #41 on this chart, whilst the #51 ARIA Chart peak is listed on the discography page. All other chart peaks listed on the discography page are from the official ARIA Chart. Finally, I am not a vandal/troll and have followed the charts in Australia for over 20 years. Check my contributions list and you'll see that most of the entries I edit on[REDACTED] relate to Australian chart information. I also added more accurate references to the Australian chart positions on the discography page. I'm reverting my edit back. Nqr9 (talk) 23:18, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

(Example). This tag is to flag the file so that it shows up under Category:Rescaled fairuse images so that previous versions which are not being used, can be deleted. We shouldn't be keeping these unfree images if they're not being used. I think you may be confusing it with the {{Non-free reduce}} template which is to flag images that need to be resized. When they have been resized the template should be removed, but then {{subst:furd}} (which displays as {{Non free reduced-date}}) should be added to ensure the deletion of the original file or files, while retaining the one in use. It too bad they look almost the same when editing, with the images that have already been resized showed the past tense "reduced". Rossrs (talk) 13:29, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

(Outdent)Do you think that is making any difference? Just see the user's replies at Jezhotwells and his own talk page and you'll knnow that he is basiclaly abusing the other editors of adding unprofessional writing and prmoting fancruft in Misplaced Pages, which I am disgusted with as a fellow GA reviewer myself, and as an editor who edits a lot of music related articles. I think an administrative intervention is necessary against such abusive behaviour. --Legolas 11:06, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
Re:Paparazzi GANI completely agree with you. In fact, the request that the artist's record label be consulted for what should be done on the article is ridiculous as that would only lead to more bias not to mention a conflict of interest. I would definitely consider taking this issue up with an admin or as Stifle suggested above, WQA. Users aren't allowed to assess articles they've contributed to for a reason and I'm glad I realized my mistake awhile back.

I think you could be fighting a loosing battle, so maybe it could be best if you forget about it, however angry you are. Aaroncrick (talk) 21:28, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Miley Cyrus discographyHey Legolas! Can you please engage on these two discussion on Miley Cyrus discography: Meet Miley Cyrus and Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana discography. It will really mean much to me. Thank you. -- ipodnano05 * 23:53, 9 January 2010 (UTC) Paparazzi (Lady Gaga song)Hi, I've just been going through the GAN lists pruning any quick fails away to reduce the queues, and I noticed that currently Paparazzi (Lady Gaga song) has two citation needed templates on it. Now I'm not going quick fail the article now as being a template Nazi isn't my objective. :) However you'll want to sort both those out before it get further up the queue and reviewed as when someone goes to properly review it, it could potentially get quick failed with them on it.

My nominationsHi! Since you are reviewing my articles, i wanted to let you know that i'm leaving my home today and i'm not returning for three days, so i won't be able to adress the concerns until i come back.

Re:Came byTo say hi. Its been long that we corressponded. Aren't you excited that Kesha's gonna top BB 200 tomorrow? --Legolas 13:20, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
(Outdent)I hope that she stays. And yeah, the comparisons to Gaga are quite immature. Although one thing is common, both are mad and a little cuckoo. Did you read that story that Kesha pee'd in front of a bunch of reporters? That just made me a fan of hers! --Legolas 04:32, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
GA nom for Paparazzi (Lady Gaga song)Hi, I notice you seem to be having a spot of bother! Having checked the review page, it appears discussion has gone stale. I won't get involved in the WQA and related miscellany, but if you want an impartial reviewer to give you a proper review, drop me a line. As I hope Ipodnano05 will tell you, I'm not completely useless. Most of the time! All the best, HJMitchell You rang? 12:07, 13 January 2010 (UTC) Hello, Legolas2186.

Your WQA brought this GA to my attention. I closed the GA as a fail. Yes, the other editor is involved, so technically cannot review the article (meaning, cannot give the article a passing review). However, an involved editor can and should raise any NPOV issues, and on NPOV issues this article does not meet the GA criteria. The article talk page is full of more of the same, so this is not a case of sabotage. This is a case of both of you needing to resolve an ongoing content dispute. --Una Smith (talk) 18:47, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Like a VirginHi Legolas, who are you?, its been a while since we chat. I see that you nominated the "Like a Virgin" article to GA, its a very interesting read, I have cross with a few sources that are not present in the article perhaps they could help you expand some of the sections, this is from a magazine Sound on Sound, I have asked before if is reliable and it is, the information is very technical but could be useful for the recording part, . The other one is from a book: Initially neither Madonna nor Rodgers cared much for "Like a Virgin", written by the songwriter team of Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly, and brought to Madonna's attention by Warner Bros. Records A&R executive Michael Ostin. "I remember hearing a demo and the guys who wrote it were singing," Madonna says. "It sounded really stupid and retarded. I was like, 'Oh my God,' but everyone was saying this was a great song and I was like, 'Gross me out'." However, Madonna soon had second thoughts. "It's weird because I couldn't get it out of my head after I played it, even though I didn't really like it", she says. "It sounded really buble-gummy to me, but it grew on me. I really started to like it, my little gears started clicking, and I tought, 'This could be really cool.' But, my first reaction to it was, 'This is really queer.'" Rodgers credits Madonna with recognizing the song's potential. "Madonna had a vision. She knew that "Like a Virgin" was the first single on that album. Since she was a woman and clued into what young girls like and feel, she was sold on the song," he says. The page is 283.
Hope that these sources can help you. Reagrds. Frcm1988 (talk) 12:32, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
GangulyThe website may be blocked at your office in Bangaluru? The playing style is the hardest to ref, I'll ask the monkey as he's done wrote some, though I think he had books. Aaroncrick (talk) 04:28, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

What ref format do you use? I'm using this: <ref name="">{{cite web|url=|title=| publisher=| work = | last= |first= |date= |accessdate= }}</ref> at the moment. Aaroncrick (talk) 10:19, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
There's a bit of stats related jargon in the If Cricket is a religion, Sachin is God book. Never read a more biased book, lol! Although it basically says Ganguly and Dravid are shit and Tendulkar a freak. Aaroncrick (talk) 09:24, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Done? Aaroncrick (talk) 02:16, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
Ok; I'll print the article as I can read it better. Also, I may add a link for technical terms if I come across some. List of cricket terms is a good place to start. But I'll do all that - you need a break. Can't get onto my main home laptop as that has had better days, so my editing could be a bit sporadic. Excellent work! If I have a brain wave and remember something significant can I add it? - sourced of course! Look, your section styles have started to make it here! Aaroncrick (talk) 10:40, 21 January 2010 (UTC) Aaroncrick (talk) 10:40, 21 January 2010 (UTC) Cricinfo also needs to be untalicised. Why don't you nom the article now? Will take a long time to be reviewed. Ok, I'm off for some tennis watching and copy-editing. Aaroncrick (talk) 10:51, 21 January 2010 (UTC) Only a week! lol! Why don't you have rollback? Would be a lot easier to revert music related vandalism! Just a nosey related question. Aaroncrick (talk) 11:01, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
Please check to see if there is anything you disagree with. I have only added ALT to one image and haven't gone through the linking. Aaroncrick (talk) 22:19, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm not great with ALT Text either. Will have a go though. Have asked YM to fill in bits he thinks are missing. Aaroncrick (talk) 10:49, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
Sticky & SweetHi there, I added the comment on this page about the photography and added proof in the discussion section. It was an observation that I could not source, hence why I used the preview of Guy Oseary's book which clearly shows the album cover at 0:19 sec mark. I understand your removal as it did not have a reliable source, but I would appreciate if you did not leave statements in the History section attacking me. I draw your attention to Misplaced Pages:Civility. Thank you JWAD 11:07, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
Paparazzi reassessmentHi Legolas, I believe that User:Una Smith's failure of the Paparazzi article was inappropriate, especially when previous contributions/bias by the reviewer were noted by several users including ourselves. I have thus opened this reassessment which you may wish to comment at. Chase wc 01:12, 15 January 2010 (UTC) Crazy 2K TourHi. I nominated Crazy 2K Tour and red the reasons why you failed it. I understand what you're saying, that's why i took so long to put it in the nominations page; I wasn't sure it was of GA criteria. But how should i merge the articlse? Should it say something like "...Baby One More Time Tour and Crazy 2K Tour are the first and second tours..."? Thanks. --Xwomanizerx (talk) 4:59 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Links in Madonna songHi, I note your recent reversion, and the state of linking in that article. For example: "The song is set in the time signature of common time, with a moderately dance-groove tempo of 118 beats per minute." There appears to be no reason to link "time signature", when four characters later a more specific link-target appears, which is of greater use to the reader. "Beats per minute" is readily understandable by anyone over the age of four; it does not need a link, surely. I'm keen that wikilinking be rationed to the most useful links, to funnel readers down the right path. Then they're more likely to click. Tony (talk) 06:09, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

You began the review Jan 11 but haven't added your comments yet, so I thought I would remind you about it in case you'd forgotten. Liquidluck✽talk 23:09, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks so much for your review, particularly for your patience and thoroughness. I very much appreciate it. Liquidluck✽talk 05:42, 3 February 2010 (UTC) Hello LegolasI was wandering if you could help me. I really like your user page but I have no idea how to make boxes of any sort on mine. I want it to look more professional so I have removed everything off of it. Any help you could give me on how to edit it would be greatly appreciated! I like the song box you have down the side, if there is a blank template you could send me it would be good!! Thanks! Jayy008 (talk) 01:16, 25 January 2010 (UTC) ContentNot sure, I think you can add ALT to infobox now, never used to be able to though. Don't worry about the content in Ganguly, perfectly acceptable for GA. YM likes articles fat - as you've probably noticed - and has the most FA's on en wiki where the standards are different to GA. I'll add bits and pieces - have already started - and we still have a long time till a review I presume. Aaroncrick (talk) 03:59, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
re:GagaMisplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of Lady Gaga songs - eo (talk) 18:09, 25 January 2010 (UTC) Personnel for Gaga articlesI've added personnel sections to the following articles: Just Dance, LoveGame, Paparazzi (Lady Gaga song), Poker Face (Lady Gaga song), Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say), Beautiful, Dirty, Rich, Bad Romance, Speechless (Lady Gaga song), and Telephone (song).

GA review of Sticky & Sweet TourHello, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I am glad to be reviewing the article Sticky & Sweet Tour you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Mm40 (talk) 13:02, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
TelephoneMy edit for "Telephone" was correct, it was indeed revealed at 22:00 Eastern Canadian Time yesterday that the new peak of Telephone in Canada was 10, not 12, and fully revealed to the public this morning on the Billboard website. I was not making up peaks, I changed the peak to the new one knowing that the cited source would be updated a few hours later. It's quite rude to accuse me of chart peak vandalism, when evidently I was updating to its new peak as of last night. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chele9211 (talk • contribs) 14:51, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
Chopping in on this...I noticed no sources provided for Telephone as a single, AllMusic still lists nothing, and a Google search brings up no legitimate news sources. Have you been provided with links that were not in the article? Let me know plz. (this page is fine, no need to split it at mine)...I have removed it yet again pending the news and proper information being added. CycloneGU (talk) 13:50, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

ChartsHi, I was wondering why charts such as Hot Dance Play and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs aren't included in the Charts section on articles of Lady Gaga songs. Since the articles are of such prominence, I thought I would ask before adding them since there is more than likely a reason the charts aren't listed. Thanks!! Candyo32 (talk) 16:56, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Amazon on Bad RomanceI used the Amazon.com MP3 store link to source my addition of the second digital remix EP for "Bad Romance". It is no more a retail link than the links to the iTunes Store that are used to reference any other digital releases. I've reverted your revert because it is a reliable source, regardless of it being to the Amazon MP3 Store.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 07:36, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
