Frankie Valli

First, some of your edits were fine. Though I believe some of your word choices were just that - choices, neither better or worse (for example, the use of "debut" and "sophomore" in reference to Frankie's album releases, or, the word 'scored' in reference to his number one hits).

The group was known as The 4 Seasons until the Motown period in 1971-1972. The entry for "The Four Seasons" is in error by not referencing that. It's a shame really because the numeric '4' looked pretty cool on all their releases in the sixties. Also, at the same time, the numeric '4' was used in all of their publicity, etc.

As far as reading the album titles, they look fine to me. They offer pretty good information as to product number, mono or stereo, and content. The titles are taken directly from the albums themselves.Bbrownlie (talk) 20:15, 17 September 2009 (UTC)bbrownlie

I apologize for mis-spelling your user ID. I'm usually pretty good at getting them right. The message from eyes to my brain didn't quite work on this one.

I wouldn't call the naming of books, movies, album titles incorrect grammar. As titles, they are made to call attention to the consumer in various ways. They are in and of themselves attractive (or even off-putting unattractive) because of their uniqueness, which sometimes may be in the form of bad grammar.

Amor Prohibido

Hey, the Japanese page of Amor Prohibido states that the album went gold. If so, don't you think the information should be edited on the English version? User: AJona1992 —Preceding undated comment added 00:28, 24 January 2010 (UTC).

Whatever. I don't know Japanese. Does it have a citation?

Your message on my talk page.

Your edits make me laugh, you try to come across as a some form of hardcore English language authority, however your page is littered with your own grammatical mistakes. I corrected them, so don't start crying just because I pointed out that your English is not quite as good as you thought it was. 119.173.81.176 (talk) 04:33, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, let's see now. "Your edits make me laugh [change comma to semi-colon] you try to come across as [delete the word "a"] some form of hardcore English language authority [change comma to period and capitalize the "h" in "however" to begin a new sentence]owever your page is littered with your own grammatical mistakes. I corrected them, so don't start crying just because I pointed out that your English is not quite as good as you thought it was."

Also, you're apparently too chicken to bother with actually identifying yourself; otherwise, you too!!!! could have a userpage someone could vandalize. (And yes, I know those exclamation points are "incorrect"; it's called "voice" in writing. It's fun, try it!)

Bouncehoper (talk) 22:06, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Oh dearie me again, I noticed you apparently like to frequently edit under your IP instead of your actual name. Forgive me for the slight, if you would be so very kind.

(Hey, do you know what that's called? It's "sarcasm"; it is also quite enjoyable.)

Non-free images

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to an article may fail our non-free image policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted image of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free image criteria. Please note that we take very seriously our criteria on non-free image uploads and users who repeatedly upload or misuse non-free images may be blocked from editing. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. --194.176.105.49 (talk) 07:33, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Oh, poop. Someone had done something very similar on Jujubee (drag queen), and I thought it was ok. That's my bad. Sorry!

Sophomore v Second

Please don't change the manual of style as you did here without discussing it on the relevant talk page first. Especially as you appear to have changed to support your point of view. Thanks --194.176.105.40 (talk) 07:37, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

I only did that because I checked the history, and that silly little blurb was added for no apparent reason, nor after any discussion. It was also poorly written, and some random user took it upon themselves to go around on a crusade after noticing that one little sentence. It's dumb to bother with on its own (all that without even a quick proofread on these pages?!?!), and really, unless there are giant complaints, there's no point in going through and editing every single instance.

Please bother to log in before you waste your time defacing my page. Thanks.

Bouncehoper (talk) 01:46, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

The silly little blurb as you call it has been in Wikipedia's manual of style since June 2009 when it was added by User:Stifle, who happens to be an administrator. As it has been there so long it has consensus. Do not change it or articles without gaining consensus to do so on the talk page there. If you continue to make the changes without consensus, it will be considered vandalism and you may be blocked from editing. --194.176.105.54 (talk) 08:09, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

So if I posted that the Queen of England was a man, and it stayed on the page for 2 years, then it wouldn't be allowed to be removed, because it has consensus? Please. Your argument is invalid. :::Did Mr./Ms. Stifle bother to ask anyone about this? No, there is nothing to evidence this on the talk page. Kind of defeats the purpose of being an admin if you're just randomly putting things in to fit your own agenda. Also, again, POORLY written. If one is to attempt to make policy, one should at least know how to write well. Guess I'll have to fix it.

This, again, coming from someone too chicken to identify themselves. And I'll just bet you went through every one of my edits and "fixed" them, because it's very easy for you to see what I've done, but I can't possibly see what you've done, because "YOU" are not an entity. Great job, very winning.

Also, your accounts have been blocked multiple times for poor choices. I find it very hard to trust the opinion of someone who has been such a terrible Wiki participant.

Bouncehoper (talk) 22:24, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Please stop making edits which are against Wikipedia's Manual of Style. If you continue to do so, you are likely to be blocked from editing. With regards to my use of an IP address for editing, please can you read WP:AGF and you may want to look in to the fact that an IP address can be used by more than one person. I have never vandalised Wikipedia in the 5+ years I've edited here ... again WP:AGF is relevant. --194.176.105.47 (talk) 09:14, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Jessica Wild

Thanks for your message on pronouns. Legally, since Jessica Wild is a fictional persona, the article is mainly about the person who entertains in that persona. Jose Sierra is legally a man, and the article is about his life, not Jessica (it talks about his birth and his personal life). Transsexuals such as Amanda Lepore and Alexis Arquette can use the female pronoun because they are legally (on paper and after surgery) now females. Please notice that at the very beginning of the Jessica Wild article, Jose Sierra's complete name starts the article. Therefore male pronouns should be used. A contestant on that season of Rupaul's Drag Race (Sonique) announced he was undergoing a sex change process. Until his process is complete and is publicly ackonwledged, than the male pronouns are used. Chaz Bono's article saw this change when she legally became a man. --XLR8TION (talk) 00:48, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Drag Queen pronouns

As on RuPaul's Drag Race, the queens I know in real life use "she" in drag and sometimes out of drag. However, there may be a cultural difference as Jessica Wild is from Puerto Rico; also, this season on Drag Race some of the other queens from PR occasionally said "he." Hope I could help.  — AMK1211^talk! 01:39, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Additionally, it ultimately comes down to an individual's preference, so I don't think we need to come to a consensus on pronoun usage for all drag queens. Some prefer she, some prefer he, some don't have a preference.  — AMK1211^talk! 01:41, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
