Opinion on Spears' vs. Spears's

Hey again Muhandes.

I was editing Britney Spears' main article page (and some others), when I noticed that there were dozens of references to Spears herself, written as "Spears's" instead of "Spears'", the latter of which is grammatically correct.

Example:

"Spears's new album was released..." (incorrect)
"Spears' new album was released..."  (correct)

I did fix them, but they seem to appear on pretty much EVERY page associated with Britney Spears (singles, albums, tours etc.). I feel it would be important to correct them all, but before I do, I wanted to ask your opinion just in case somehow they were meant to be that way for some weird reason. Additionally, the same applies to Bruno Mars' articles as well (Mars's / Mars'). AnimatedZebra (talk) 16:18, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

@AnimatedZebra: English is my third language, so you should not be asking me English grammar questions. However, I do know how to google, and according to this page, If a proper name ends with an s, you can add just the apostrophe or an apostrophe and an s, both are correct. After doing that, I realized we actually have an article about this, Apostrophe#Singular nouns ending with an "s" or "z" sound. The bottom line is the same, you probably shouldn't fix it, it ain't broke. Muhandes (talk) 16:28, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

Mexican certifications

Can you please check if the templates for the Mexican certifications are up to date or not? I think it's still using the Thresholds as of October 2020. TheWikiholic (talk) 19:44, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

@TheWikiholic: I checked, and it seems to work correctly, as requested in this discussion. For example, "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)" shows 280,000 for 2× Platinum, as expected. Note that the certification goes by release date, not by certification date. Can you give an example of where it works incorrectly? The proper place to discuss this is probably Template talk:Certification Table Entry. Would you like to move it there? --Muhandes (talk) 09:08, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, it's my mistake. I thought that the certification goes by the certification date. TheWikiholic (talk) 12:28, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Discussing with you and will listen

I will listen and do as you say and I will not ignoring you and I am more than happy for you to assist me on everything. Let me know. No hard feelings. Thanks. FireDragonValo (talk) 19:52, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

@FireDragonValo: Against all odds I keep assuming good faith. I see you started leaving edit summaries, which is a step at the right direction. If you need any help, let me know. Muhandes (talk) 16:25, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Unexplained template

Let me answer your question with another question: Why did you add the template of a 25-year-old Argentinian singer in the article for a 70-year-old+ Mexican television network? MexTDT (talk) 16:24, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

@MexTDT: That's a valid question with a simple answer. The series appeared on the navigation template (which I did not create), and it is the practice that the navigation template be added to those articles mentioned. In other words, it was a technical edit. I see now that Tini does not appear on this article (nor does she appear prominently on Las Estrellas (TV series), which was what was meant as a target) so I removed it from the navigation template. This, however, was what you does not justify reverting another editor's edit without an edit summary, which would have saved us both the time. Muhandes (talk) 17:30, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

You did not put your edit summary either. Without it, coming from a user that usually does not edit the article and being an absolutely unrelated template, I thought it was vandalism.

Unless you are a bot, a technical edit without taking due time to verify if the template belongs in the article is not justified. It would have saved us both time as well. MexTDT (talk) 20:26, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

@MexTDT: I agree, I should have checked better. Let's both try to do better in the future. Muhandes (talk) 22:23, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

SMS

Hello Muhandes is it possible to put the image for SMS (song) article single please thank you RoundTeen (talk) 22:06, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

@RoundTeen: I did, but the article fails WP:NSONG. I tagged it and unless you are going to add some more relevant sources, it's not going to survive. Muhandes (talk) 08:05, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

French streaming cert help

SNEP tweeted today that "Boy with Luv" was certified Gold for 15 mil streams. I tried adding it to the table, but can't figure out what to put for 'type' to get the 15,000,000 streams figure to display. Could you help please? -- Carlobunnie (talk) 19:24, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

@Carlobunnie: SNEP does not have a streams-only certification, they have equivalent sales. As you can see here, 1500 streams are equivalent to one sale, so 15,000,000 just means 100,000 equivalent sales. 100,000 is exactly the number you get when you put a regular certification. --Muhandes (talk) 20:59, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Oh okay. I didn't know. The wikipedia article for SNEP showed a streaming certifications table so I thought there was one. -- Carlobunnie (talk) 23:07, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

@Carlobunnie: Correction: I meant 150 streams are equivalent to one sale. This was already explained in the SNEP article but I made it even clearer that there is no streaming award, just equivalent sales calculated in terms of streams.--Muhandes (talk) 06:58, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Reference problem

I made an edit in the Certifications section of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_to_the_People:_The_Hits about a Gold Certification in Denmark of the compilation album

but naturally I couldn’t do it right.

I added

! scope="row" | Denmark (IFPI Danmark) | Gold | 10,000^‡ |-

but it didn't work.

Here are the links of the source :

http://www.ifpi.dk/certificeringer-0?page=47 and http://ifpi.dk/node/4151

Could you fix it and explain to me how you do ? Thank you.

Carlo Colussi (talk) 21:45, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

@Carlo Colussi:  Done. All you needed to do was add |id=4151. Muhandes (talk) 23:08, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

(Just Like) Starting Over Edit Undo

I saw that my edit in the article "(Just Like) Starting Over" was reversed even though it was sourced directly to the current Billboard chart for the Greatest Songs of All Time. The article in its current state has the All-Time charted dated to 2013, not even the 2018 update which most of the songs on the list had their end date for their All-Time chart. I know this because I manually checked every song on the current All-Time list to make sure they were up to date since the song "How Do I Live" by LeAnn Rimes was previously not up to date for the All-Time chart. I was just wondering why you reversed my update of the All-Time chart for John Lennon's song "(Just Like) Starting Over" on its article.

Also here is a link to my source, which is directly from Billboard: [1]https://billboard.com/charts/greatest-hot-100-singles/ The All-Time chart was last updated in 2021, when The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" reached #1 on the all-times chart. 99.6.253.145 (talk) 09:06, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
