Siouxsie and the banshees

On wikipedia, I remark that there's the following consensus  : on a page about a band, one doesn't publish a picture when only the singer appears on it with no other band member on his/her sides. I read many bands pages and that's always the case on wikipedia. The Cure, The Smiths, Joy Division, killing Joke, etc... You replied me "there are plenty of band articles with member-pics". Can you give one instance on wikipedia ? carliertwo (talk) 05:09, 1 august 2008 (UTC)

Triping

Didn't realize that Triping was blocked again. You missed one of her accounts.

Reminder about RBD discography

You are receiving this message because you are listed as the protecting admin for RBD discography. The page has been semiprotected for longer than 2 months without an expiry date set. Because Misplaced Pages relies on contributers to make the encyclopedia, I'm asking you to review your decision and either

  • Unprotect the page if protection is no longer needed, or
  • set a reasonable expiry date for the protection instead of leaving it on forever

I hope that you will do one of the two in order to reduce the backlog of pages that have been semiprotected for very long period of time. If there are other pages you have also protected, I will try not to give more reminder, but I hope that you will double check your protection log to pick up and pages you might have forgotten. Thank you. -Royalguard11(T) 20:03, 6 August 2008 (UTC) Why am I receiving this message?

Moved

I moved this article to a more accurate title List of artists who reached number one in the United States , as there was a lot of info that predated the Hot 100, the title was somewhat inaccurate. It will also stop people complaining about those older artists like elvis, it allows the full inclusion of any artists #1's irrelevant of date barriers. It's also inline with other articles on US #1's. — Realist 16:14, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

It's now more inline with this article. List of artists by total number of U.S. number-one singles. — Realist 16:16, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
You might be interested in this, seems billboard have scrubbed Elvis off the List. . — Realist 16:19, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
It's only a matter of time before Mariah overtakes The Beatles. I kind of expected her to do it with her recent album but looks like it will just have the one #1 single. Maybe if M. Jackson got off his bum and did some work he would have more #1 singles, he can certainly still get #1 albums. — Realist 16:30, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Britney Spears discography

Thank you for protecting! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.141.103.7 (talk) 16:31, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Rock music WikiProject

I'd like to invite you to join the newly-formed Rock music WikiProject. There's alot of Rock-related articles on Misplaced Pages that could use a little attention, and I hope this project can help organize an effort to improve them. So please, take a look and if you like what you see, help us get this project off the ground and a few Rock music pages into the front ranks of Misplaced Pages articles. Thanks! --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 09:32, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Sugarland (duo)/(band)

How is that naming conventions? A duo are not a band. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 16:53, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

I Kissed a Girl protection

The protection of I Kissed a Girl was warranted but excessive. A two week protection is too much for such vandalism, and do please remember to place the sprot tags onto an article when protecting it. 91.110.235.111 (talk) 19:43, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Another category move

Could you please move Category:Eagles (band) members to Category:Eagles members? It's been sitting in speedy rename for a while now. Thanks. Oh yeah, I re-nominated the Leslie Satcher category, you might want to weigh in there. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 21:56, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Fearless (Taylor Swift album)

Can you please take a look at this afd? People are calling for a keep when it's clearly too early for a page. I think some major trouting is needed. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 22:25, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Lovely Day (song)

Hi there, eo. I have a couple of questions I was hoping you could answer. I created the page for the Bill Withers song "Lovely Day" and have been cross-referencing and trying to find other versions of the song. I found "It's Gonna Be a Lovely Day" by S.O.U.L.S.Y.S.T.E.M. featuring Michelle Visage on the Billboard #1 Dance lists for 1992 and 1993, and "It's Gonna Be...(A Lovely Day)" by Brancaccio & Aisher on the same list for 2002, and I wiki-linked both songs to the article I created. Do you think that's right? I wouldn't ask if the songs were just cover versions, but I'm pretty sure they're both samples, and I'm not sure if the same applies in that case. I did mention both versions in the article, but if I'm wrong just take the links back out (and sorry for being a pest). Also, does the article look OK to you? I think I've learned a lot since I first encountered you through wikipedia a few months back. Thanks. Zephyrnthesky (talk) 22:27, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

I added succession boxes to the article, although that's something I've never done before (I just copied and pasted the ones from Situation (song) and changed the fill-in info). Feel free to change it if there's something amiss, and thanks for looking at the article. And for the kind words :) I'll have to check the B&A version out, as I can't place having heard it before.

This Billboard 100 issue

Since you are the lead music person I'm coming to you. You/we really need to erode the specification of "Billboard Hot 100" on all these articles unless you actually want an article dedicated to billboard Hots 100 hits only. It doesn't make sense to do it like that anymore. All article should be aligned to "U.S. number one hit", irrelevant of pre Billboard dates. I don't think this should be just the article title, but any other info in the article that tries to distinguish the charts. We can make a new article dedicated to Billboard Hot 100 only if you think it's worth it though. It's become an urban myth that the only chart that ever existed was billboard hot 100 and Elvis has 17 of them. Lets set the record clear. If you want me to help you I can, maybe I will watchlist some of ya articles to help you? — Realist 03:37, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Billboard Hot 100 chart achievements and milestones, this needs a name change. — Realist 03:46, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
We need to get all these articles together and give them consistent name changes. Do we say U.S. or United States, do we bracket the title eg (U.S.)/(United States)? It's all a mishmash at the moment and I would love to fix it. Look, I know we have had our disputes but I'm well over that and looking forward to sorting these good articles. — Realist 05:59, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Sure, OK. Lets work on it from the 21st of August onward, I'm busy over the next few days. We can set up a sand box, add all the titles that need changing to it and from there agree upon a consistent formatting of these titles. After that it's a case of making corrections to these articles to show that it's not just billboard. Obviously the sub billboard charts like Pop don't need changing. I have no idea why you guys over there need anymore than one chart lol. — Realist 14:05, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

UWC

Regarding this, do you think we could try and get media traffic banned as a source? I believe UK MIX was stopped. I really hate that fake chart. — Realist 04:36, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Sugarland again

Why not just move it to Sugarland and put a hatnote for Sugar Land, Texas? We don't even need the dab there, since the DeNiro film was evidently cancelled. Could the dab then be speedied as a G6 because the hatnote would serve the same purpose? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 11:24, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Done. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 11:30, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
That's singular vs. plural. Doesn't need disambiguatifying IMO. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 11:38, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
I've already got a hatnote for Sugar Land, Texas. Should I hatnote The Sugarlands as well? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 11:49, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
I just did the same thing with BlackHawk (band)->BlackHawk, over a redirect. They're the only use of that particular CamelCased spelling, so I figure the hatnote makes them legit. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 14:35, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

However

However it is an important chart. Hot Digital Tracks is more of a component chart than Hot Digital Songs. Plus, why should the Pop 100 have one and not the Hot Digital Songs? As far as I'm concerned, the only non-component chart fro singles in Billboard is the Hot 100. Tcatron565 (talk) 15:34, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Brazil Hot 100

I vaguely remember people deciding that Brazil Hot 100 was absolute crap, and shouldn't be listed. However, I can't find any traces of that discussion. Ring any bells?

Radio Disney Hot 30

It looks to me like the Radio Disney Hot 30 fails WP:CHARTS, so I started a discussion here. It's clear to me that it doesn't convey notability ... I'm more worried about trying to maintain the column in articles where notability has already been established. If I could find a verifiable source, I wouldn't bother to push it, but my feeling is that I'm going to start taking it out of hundreds of articles. Before I do that, I like to have the feeling that there is support for that decision, and that I haven't just failed to find a source. Your input is welcome.Kww (talk) 14:21, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Merged singles

I can't find any argument in WP:FU that indicates that the single cover can't be merged into the parent article when the single article is merged. I've been merging the Disney singles, and when I do, I merge the cover along with the article. If you can point me at what part of WP:FU you believes that violates, I'd appreciate it. For now, I've reverted ], because it will fuel the fire towards bringing back all these single articles I've been working to merge.Kww (talk) 20:30, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Editor Conflict

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me. I seem to be involved with some weird edit battle with KM*hearts*MC and an anon IP user. How I got involved was, I agreed with KM's edit to KylieX2008and this editor got really upset and began to call both myself and KM "stubborn" and "stupid". He/She continued to make claims about not having freedom, etc. Additionally, he/she has gone through my contributions and reverted edits that I have made to other articles, which I believe is being done out of spite (am I not sure if he/she is doing the same to KM). With every edit this user makes, their IP address changes, however (according to WHOIS), the IP belongs to the same company, Telekom Malaysia Berhad and Opal Communications (located in Kuala Lumpur/Manchester), which why I believe is it the same person, probably using a public terminal. I feel that this person is going to continue to "throw a fit" and continue to revert my edits. I am not really sure if this problems constitutes blocking but tts already starting to be annoying and quite frustrating to replace my edits. I have complied a list of the IP address I know he/ she are using. I am sure there is more. Dancefloor royalty (talk) 08:40, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I will see what I can do. I think I may have confused you. KM is not the IP user, me agreeing with his/her edits is what caused all of this. Dancefloor royalty (talk) 01:26, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
