Tinchy Stryder: In My System

As the single is nearing its release, I was informed that you had filed for the deletion of the article. Rather than merely create a new one, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind undoing the erasion, so that further information of the article be added.

Final Deal

Hi there I have come to apologise for everything I have done in the past, I now realise that if I keep creating accounts I will just keep getting blocked and I promise not create another account ever again. I would love to work with you in the future, I will take six months off from Misplaced Pages to think about everything I have done and come back on the 5th February 2011 and try to sort everything out so that I don't create any more accounts and that I can get my original account back, stay on Misplaced Pages and listen to any of your advice in the future. Best Regards 80.1.183.44 (talk) 14:18, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

I am taking this deal seriously and will not go behind your back and create another account. 80.1.183.44 (talk) 14:20, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

No deal, at least not from me. You're not supposed to be editing at all , yet you've spent the last several days editing anonymously . I've reverted these edits and blocked. - eo (talk) 14:25, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

To Kingdom Come

Hi, I see you've converted To Kingdom Come into a disambig. Per WP:FIXDABLINKS, could you clean up these links that now point to a disambig? Thanks, --JaGa 12:46, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Done! Sorry for forgetting. - eo (talk) 12:58, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Wow, thanks for the quick fix! Cheers, --JaGa 13:47, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Ain't no thang. 99% of the links were fixed when I updated The Band's template. - eo (talk) 14:07, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Annie Lennox

heyaa, just wondered if you could do me a favour? Would you mind looking up annie lennox's chart history on the hot 100 on billboard.biz and/or the charts book please? allmusic and billboards archive agree on positions of some songs, but another editor pointed out that there was some info missing from both, and there are even articles on billboards site which have the missing positions. have found one but would take hours to hunt through hundreds of billboard articles. any help would be awesome! thanks :) Mister sparky (talk) 19:42, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

thank you! :) Mister sparky (talk) 20:14, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

oooh, and this may seem a very random request: but how do i archive my talkpage? Mister sparky (talk) 21:04, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

thanks :) Mister sparky (talk) 14:37, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Billboard 200 Undo

Yeah man, I saw it. But you had the dates wrong. You wrote the issue of August 28, 2010 which is next Saturday. The correct date is August 18, 2010 so cheers. Kevon100 (talk) 21:35, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

I checked there is nothing about the 28th of August, 2010. The issue is dated August 18, 2010. Kevon100 (talk) 14:45, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Oh nevermind man, I see the error. I've been taking this all wrong. Lol I'm sorry dude. Cheers! Kevon100 (talk) 14:47, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Personal invitation to discussion: Cert columns headings & links

Hello, Eric. In trying to determine consensus for (or against) a change of headings and links in music-related articles, I've managed to draw comments from exactly two other editors. I'd feel better about moving ahead (or not moving ahead) with the change if I knew how much (or little) support there is for it among more of the music-focused editors.

It's a teeny matter (and I thought the discussions would be simple, but this is ridiculous), but I'd appreciate it if you would weigh in at the Certifications column heading links discussion at MOS:DISCOG. (There's a similar one, sort of, over at WT:Record charts, but I'll be happy if I can just generate some activity at MOS:DISCOG). Thanks, — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 13:55, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Chart question

Hey, I've gotten you to weigh in on musical things before. Could you please help me with an ongoing issue here? Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • 14:59, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Considering a topic ban

This makes me consider issuing a topic ban against Petergriffin9901 that he cannot modify any sales figures or certifications. I'm tempted to do the same thing to Max24, just because I am tired of this constant useless arguing. Thoughts?—Kww(talk) 01:25, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

I would like to suggest something. Honestly, my issues have only been with book sources, and even though I stand by it being a good-faith mistake, I know I am responsible for my edits. May I suggest, since this problem revolves around a book source, that I have to run by any book I use in the future to you, if I want to use them for any sales or certification on any page. That way whenever I change a source (book source) for sales or certifications, Ill run it by you to take a look. I'm honest Kevin, but I understand we must stand by our mistkaes, so this seems to me the best and most fair thing to in light of recent events. As for Max, I don't know what, but he needs to learn to take things up with me or grow up.--PeterGriffin • Talk 01:30, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Yikes. It seems that Peter has good intentions here, and in general, but I don't think it was a wise idea to use a non-internet book source when Peter is not even in possession of the book. Definitely some carelessness has occurred here, obviously Max's frustration is not helping the situation. What I do see, however, is that more than one person has a problem with Peter's edits, so I would suggest (to Peter) that you never use a book as a source unless you 1) own a copy or 2) know exactly where the info is located (e.g. page numbers) as well as any addition info that is available (e.g. ISBN number). Kww, you are obviously much more involved with this than I, and with your ongoing mentoring of Peter I will leave the final decision up to you. I do not oppose Peter's suggestion that all book sources he wants to use be approved by you. However, if you feel a topic ban is warranted then I would not oppose that either, as it was also suggested by another user (Frcm1988). I have not looked through Max's edits, I don't know if the Peter/Max arguments are limited to Mariah Carey certifications or if it extends further. If this situation cannot be resolved, then definitely a topic ban is the last resort — for both editors. - eo (talk) 12:21, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Eric, I would like to explain a bit to you. I mean honestly, this topic ban would be unfair, unjust and totally unnecessary. My issue was placing a few sales figures from a book (which I did see in the book and offered to take photos of it). Also, the other issue Max brought up was a few different and inconsistent certifications on about 2 album pages from 4 months ago (May). Now for that I really can't answer, I don't remember, but I ask you to weigh out all the good I have done to Mariah Carey articles since I have been here (over 4000 Good faith edits) I have re-done 2 articles (of Carey) to about GA standard, and was in a project to to it to all of her pages. Additionally I work well with (most) editors and have been here for a year and a half with no problems (only relating to Max24). Understand that since I began here, Max24 has had a personal vendetta against me (other editors will tell you) I mean its not that difficult to find little certain 4 month old edits, and take them out of context and use them against me. Everyone screws up, and I feel I'm being judged in an unfair and overwhelming way, considering there are established editors that vandalize every day, and just get some lame warning slapped on their talk page. Do you think its fair that I edit over 5000 edits, stay for over a year and a half and work hard, and because of one incident get considered for topic ban? Ill be honest, if I get banned from "Mariah Carey" articles, you might as well block me, because that is the reason I am on Misplaced Pages. I mean I think its so unfiar, I watch established users vandalize daily, and do any of them get blocked or banned? Also, understand that because a few editors don't like me, everytime there is a mistake, instead of taking it up with me (I am reasonable, you can see that on my talk and work well) they invite 13 editors to a large scale article talk discussion, bringing up "evidence" that I deserve to be banned. Its all BS, and I honestly was really surprised at these considerations over an honest and hard working Wikipedian.--PeterGriffin • Talk 15:49, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Proposed Blockage

Why am I being warned for editing pages that I made myself. The Count & Sinden's "After Dark" page was only made a few hours ago by myself, so why I'm being moaned at for making a slight error by having "Chart Performance" rather than "Chart performance" is silly. It is a similar case with Chase & Status's "Let You Go" article, which I edited because of an error in the release date, which I'm sure I had put in the first place.

I would appreciate if you could tell me what I am doing wrong exactly so as to avoid further blockings on my account.

I'll dig into the rest later, but he's not Greeenock125.—Kww(talk) 17:04, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Ah, THANK YOU. I knew I had suspected that before and obviously I completely forgot I had taken it that far. Whew, ok so that's that. Let me know what you think of the rest, when you can. - eo (talk) 18:45, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Monster (Lady Gaga song)

Do you think this piece of crap deserves any notability for another article space? In this way it won't be long before all of Gaga's songs are made to have separate articles. — Legolas 05:45, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Personally, no. Don't think its notable, it look like almost complete WP:OR. May want to consider a WP:AfD nom? - eo (talk) 11:16, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

"Only Girl"

Only Girl has been confirmed as the single to be released on 31, August 2010. Please check the article for references. If you make further changes we will take it as vandalism. Syedwaheedhussain (talk) 14:24, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism = removing AfD templates while the discussion is open. Don't do it again. - eo (talk) 14:25, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Best selling girl groups

Hello, I see you're one of the main editors on the "List of best selling girl groups" page. I commented on your comment, but you never replied. I think we should sort the page out, as i agree, it is a bit of a mess! haha. Maybe we could put in the article "sales based on certifications" or something else, what ideas have you got?

further spamming from 67.188.253.187

Hi Eric. I've just removed another unofficial fansite link from the David A. Stewart page (each time I do so, some idiot puts it back). The current IP address that restored it (67.188.253.187) was apparently blocked by you some months ago for doing the same thing. I would have left a warning on their talk page, but the page is just a long list of existing warnings which have obviously been ignored. Can you block the IP address? 88.104.23.104 (talk) 02:07, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

done. - eo (talk) 15:06, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

I was just about to leave you a note about the further spamming going on, but it looks like you just saw it yourself. Thanks. 88.104.23.156 (talk) 19:56, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

No prob. Ya know, you may want to think about creating an account. Placing those articles under semi-protection prevents you from editing them too.  :-\ eo (talk) 19:58, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

I do actually have one, but I can't use it when I'm editing away from home because there's no way I can remember my password after all this time. 88.104.23.156 (talk) 20:24, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

David Guetta discography

heyyy, could you have a look at the above article? nymphowiki keeps insisting on spain's addition without joining the discussion on the talkpage, and i noticed on his talkpage you've warned him about this before. thanks! Mister sparky (talk) 21:49, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

thank you. Mister sparky (talk) 15:17, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

could you also look at The Saturdays discography, i thought LittleGee was blocked for disruption... but keeps adding the same ref over and over again to various saturdays articles to verify scottish positions, but the ref only verifies 1 album and also adding sales from a very unreliable forum. removing stuff like this and then getting told i'm edit warring and vandalising is getting really taxing... Mister sparky (talk) 15:17, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

I left a note and will keep an eye on it. That Scottish website is not the easiest to navigate, hopefully it can be used to source all the positions. - eo (talk) 15:48, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

thank you :) but yea the OCC is a bit behind the times, it has proper 1 page archives archives of the main singles and album charts, but not the genre and regional charts, its annoying. Mister sparky (talk) 19:41, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Eminem Recovery

You do not remove the albums commercial performance without first discussing on the talk page whether or not it needs to be removed. Removing a lot of information from a page without discussing it on the talk page and with no real reason is considered vandalism.Melody Prince$$ (talk) 00:50, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
