User talk:Winger84

I have become rather bored with Wikipedia and will be taking a Wikibreak of an undtermined length. Leave a note, if you'd like and I will respond if necessary àt some point in the future.

For previous threads, please see my archives.

If you're here to leave any form of RfA thankspam, it goes here please! Thanks!

Thanks. Looks like they have already been blocked for 48 hours. I will keep an eye out. Cheers TigerShark (talk) 12:51, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Hello Winger84. Thank you very much for your support in my recent Request for Adminship, which was successful with 111 supports, 0 opposes, and 0 neutral. I have to say I am more than a little overwhelmed by this result and I greatly appreciate your trust in me. I will do my best to use the tools wisely. Thanks again. Regards.

Tell me how scoopthis.org is not a real source? At some point you're going to have to let the truth, and FACTS about Jabberjaw be known.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.203.13.21 (talk) 12:18, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

As a blog, that website fails standing Wikipedia policy on reliable sources. I have no issue with the Jabberjaw situation being mentioned in the article, but until neutral sources (something other than a blog - which has little to no accountability in posted content - or BTLS' website) cover the situation, then the information shall remain POV and that is not permitted on Wikipedia. --Winger84 (talk) 16:49, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Whatcha Think About That

What's with the redirect? The song is a single. It has not been changed. It's a failure and "I Hate This Part" is a rush release single. This is a notable single. In your opinion, it may not be notable because it's a failure. The single EP will be released October 21. Charmed36 (talk) 20:43, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

It has not met the standards set forth by MUSIC. It has not charted. It has been performed by other notable acts. My opinion has nothing to do with my redirect of the article. --Winger84 (talk) 21:41, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

The song has charted. It's not mentioned well in the article. The article should not be redirected. Charmed36 (talk) 21:51, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

On what chart? It is well outside the top 40 positions on the CHR/Pop chart and has not received significant airplay on any other chart. The article most certainly should be redirected, at the very least, if not brought up once again for deletion. --Winger84 (talk) 21:53, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Continuing my previous post, it is currently #55 on the Mediabase CHR/Pop airplay chart, #183 on the CHR/Rhythmic, and does not appear on the Urban chart. What "chart" are you looking at? --Winger84 (talk) 21:56, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

The Billboard charts are official. I'm not basing it on radio airplay charts. Charmed36 (talk) 01:15, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

The song is an active song that is currently charting. Please do not revert the changes to it. Discuss on the talk page. Orane (talk) 02:24, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Also, hope you're not planning on AFD'ing the article. One was just conducted a week ago. WP encourages that you should not put up an article for AFD if it was just considered. Wait at least three weeks or so. Orane (talk) 02:28, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually, per the record label, it is not an active single. They are no longer pursuing airplay on it and are focusing efforts on "I Hate This Part.". This record did not achieve charting status (#40 or higher) on any chart and therefore fails MUSIC. I also do not appreciate the hostility coming from an administrator. As such, you have made my decision and I will be making a second AfD nomination on this article later today. Next time, please do not come to my page and insult me by fighting me on an area that I know VERY well, since music is what I spend 60+ hours each and every week of my life dealing with, as a CHR/Pop station Program Director. .Discussion over, thanks for coming.--05:27, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

um, when/how exactly did I insult you? By pointing out that you need to discuss the issue further on the article's talk page? It's great that you are dedicated to music, and are CHR/Pop Director. But this is Wikipedia, and different rules apply here. I approached you in a dignified and respectful manner, and in an attempt to mollify the situation, I even avoided mentioning that both you and Charmed36 could have been blocked for at least 24 hrs for violating WP:3RR. So I advise that you take a deep breath and calm down. Orane (talk) 07:08, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Again, according to Wikipedia's Deletion Policy, "After a deletion debate concludes and the page is kept, users should allow a reasonable amount of time to pass before nominating the same page for deletion again...Renominations shortly after the earlier debate are generally closed quickly." So if you're doing it to spite me, you have the wrong intention.

And as a side note, don't be insulted when you are challenged or approached on Wikipedia. I was never out to insult you. We're all here trying to build the encyclopedia. Orane (talk) 07:08, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

You may want to go look at the history again.

Original redirect, Revert #1, Revert #2. At 00:32 on 14 October (31 hours after my original redirect), I made a revert, Revert #2 of that 24-hour period. I did not cross the 3RR threshold. Please don't make empty threats. --Winger84 (talk) 20:51, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I'm not making empty threats. To be technical, the rule states that you should not make 3 reversions within a single 24hr period. It doesn't have to start and end at 0.00. Your very first edit to the article was 23:06, October 12. After that, you made four other reversions: One at 20:26, October 13, a second time at 21:30, October 13, a third time at 06:32, October 14 and a fourth time at 22:42, October 14. Your first reversion was at 20:26 October 13. 24hrs from that time would be 20:26 October 14; by this time, you had already made a third reversion. But that's in the past.

By the way, can you find a link/source from their record company to prove that they are no longer pursuing airplay/promotion for the single? I think you stated this at one point. I'd love to see a link, if you have the time. Orane (talk) 02:05, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Did you bother to look at the diffs that I provided? By your own statement, I did not violate 3RR. For an administrator, you seem rather quick to assume bad faith and jump to conslusions. If you feel I violated 3RR, block me for it. Your block would be in error and I would immediately appeal it. Or, you could realize that I obviously am sick of this subject and being told that I don't know what I'm talking about, when said subject is part of what I do for a living and - heaven forbid - I might have accurate information! --Winger84 (talk) 02:21, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
