User talk:Hometown Kid

Hello, Hometown Kid here, the new kid in town (wikipedia) lol. As you can see here, all the messages that I get for my contributions, some of them good, some of them ok, and the rest a bunch of bull crap which was sent from eo, but got rid of them. I finally realize there is no use for the united world chart on song articles, i figured that it's useless. I really need some help making the Danny Fernandes article, I know it has been deleted a lot of times, but we need to find reliable information on him without plagiarising from other sites, if you wanted to help then do so, but I am trying to make a request to unprotect the page so that I can craete it.

Dangerous

The song is Canadian hip hop mixed with R&B. Leave it at that. Blackjays1 (talk) 07:31, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edit(s) to Lady GaGa, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. Xeltran (talk) 15:19, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

United World Chart

The point isn't that there isn't an article: the point is that the chart is unreliable. You could build a great, accurate article about the UWC, which would read something like The United World Chart is a chart that claims to report worldwide sales for songs. However, there is no evidence that it actually has access to sales data or uses sales data. No retailers or marketers are known to use the UWC in making decisions, and its figures are not reported by any reliable news sources. It appears to be used only by blogs and fansites. UWC charts would still be deleted from all articles. We point you at the AFD so that there is a record of our reasons. I still don't understand what your objection is. Why do you want to report the contents of an unreliable chart?Kww (talk) 21:29, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

I take out lots of charts, not just UWC. Whenever I see an article that references UWC, BrasilHot100, or the Bulgarian Top Singles, out they go. If you could find a reliable, well sourced worldwide chart, that would be great. If there was such a thing, I'd be all for reporting it. There isn't, you've been told there isn't, so putting it back in over and over and over is vandalism, because you are knowingly placing false information into Wikipedia.

As for me interfering in your conversation, no Wikipedia conversation is private. If you want privacy, take it to e-mail.Kww (talk) 21:52, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edit to Crush (David Archuleta song). Thank you. Aspects (talk) 16:59, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I was using the Crush article as an example of not using edit summaries. Since you left a message on my talk page saying you do that later, you have provided an edit summary for only six of your 70 edits. You need to provide an edit summary for every edit you make. Aspects (talk) 00:56, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Please start using edit summaries. Aspects (talk) 22:58, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Crush (David Archuleta song)

If you feel that "hot shot debut" belongs in the article, you need to provide an explanation for the term so that readers understand what the article is saying. Also, the Billboard magazine needs to be linked only once in the table. Any more than once is overlinking. Aspects (talk) 00:59, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Overlinking Billboard (magazine)

In a music chart using different Billboard charts, Billboard (magazine) needs to be linked only once. Any more than that and it is overlinking, such as what you recently did to Light On. Aspects (talk) 22:59, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Please note as well that when you link Billboard, it does not direct to the magazine. You should pipe these as [[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]. And as said above, you only need to link the first reference of Billboard. --Wolfer68 (talk) 16:23, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

I have reverted the overlinking to Billboard on both Light On and Spotlight (Jennifer Hudson song). You have been asked before to not link to Billboard since that is an article about outdoor advertisements not the magazine that publishes the music charts. Also you have been asked before not to overlinking Billboard. It only needs to be linked once in the chart. Please take the advice from both mysefl and Wolfer68 and stop wrongly linking and overlinking Billboard. Aspects (talk) 14:34, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Do you even read your user talk page? This edit, [1], less than forty minutes after I left you a message does both of the things I just talked about. Aspects (talk) 15:08, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

So you read your user talk page and you still continue to do the same edits, [2], over and over that other editors have told you not to do and why? That's worse than not even reading your talk page. Aspects (talk) 17:05, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

The point of Wikipedia is not to make edits you "think you can get away with," it is to work collaboratively with editors around the world to make the articles the best they can be. Now that two different editors have told you the way you are making your edits are wrong, will you please stop linking to [[Billboard]] and overlinking articles in the same table? Aspects (talk) 17:13, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Please read the article for Billboard that you keep linking to, [3]. The article is for outdoor advertising. If you are going to link to the magazine Billboard you need to link to Billboard (magazine). This is the organization that releases the Billboard charts. You just need to pipe the link like this [[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]. Aspects (talk) 18:16, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Fall Out Boy - "I Don't Care" citation tags

Please, stop removing the "citation needed" tags, those aren't only dates, as you said they were in your edit summary. They show the need of a citation to confirm the peaks on the unsourced charts. - JWhitt (talk) 00:01, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles

The Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles is in fact a component component chart. Component chart does not list all of the component charts. The Bubbling Hot 100 Singles is a chart which is used to calculate a more primary chart, in this case being the Billboard Hot 100. Please do not add this chart or any other component charts to articles. Thank you. DiverseMentality^(Boo!) 21:07, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Well it's still valuable information for song article, in case a song doens't chart on the Billboard Hot 100. It shows how how far or how close a song is from charting on the Billboard Hot 100. Hometown Kid (talk) 7:42, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Per WP:CHARTS, you should only add component charts if the song doesn't reach any significant Billboard chart. DiverseMentality^(Boo!) 02:29, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Reckless Abandon (album)

Thanks for the message. Do you have an image file of the album cover? If so you can upload it at this page. And please leave my recent edits in place - they are correct English and the tone is more suitable for an encyclopedia. – ukexpat (talk) 00:57, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Chicken Fried

Please don't link the chart names on Chicken Fried or any other song article. WP:CHART clearly shows that the chart names should not be linked in the table. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 15:40, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Heartless (Kanye West song)

I must ask you not to remove sourced material without explanation, especially in the way you did, by replacing valid citations with links to fan-written blogs. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 08:22, 30 November 2008 (UTC))

December 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Human (The Killers song). When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits th at are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. JD554 (talk) 18:58, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

You removed content by removing the two charts for Netherlands (which are both well cited). You also added the Canadian Hot 100 but it is not cited. Not all the charts are called Billboard xxx as you can see by following the following links: Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks and Hot Modern Rock Tracks. As you can see, they are produced by Billboard but it isn't part of the charts' names. Also adding {{sort|US|U.S.}} doesn't produce a link but allows the sorting to working properly by ignoring the dot. So, I will remove the Canadian chart as it is uncited and therefore violates Wikipedia's policy on WP:V and I will restore the charts for the Netherlands which are well cited. I will also remove Billboard from the chart names where it doesn't belong. I really don't see the point in having the Pop 100 and Hot Dance Club Play charts as they are only minor charts compared to the Hot 100 and Hot Modern Rock Tracks, but I'll concede to leave these in providing you don't remove well cited information. Doing so, is a violation of Wikipedia's policies and may result in your account being blocked. --JD554 (talk) 20:00, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Shake That

Please provide an adequate citation per WP:RS illustrating that "Shake That" charted at number 6 on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles for Eminem discography. Until then, it really won't matter how many times you may have told me to stop removing the r&b/hip-hop songs chart position for Shake That.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Eminem Relapse CoverArt.png)

Thanks for uploading File:Eminem Relapse CoverArt.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

Simple Plan single

Please do not post unverified information claiming a new single for Simple Plan. If you are able to produce a reliable source, then of course please feel free to improve the articles. If not, please await some further announcement by the band.--Wehwalt (talk) 18:50, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

I've looked at the ref you have provided. It nowhere says that No Love is a single, merely that they have been playing it a lot. That does not equate with a single. In addition, CHUM-FM is what I believe they call chartspam. Please remove it yourself, or I suspect someone else will, given the number of eyes that look at these articles, I don't think it will stand. Thanks.--Wehwalt (talk) 19:54, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on My Love (The-Dream song). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. —slakr^\ talk / 04:21, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Andrew F

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Andrew F, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Non-notable musician, fails WP:V and WP:NM.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. — Σxplicit 03:36, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Deletion tags on images

Please don't just remove tags without addressing the issues. They are being put there for a good reason: you are not specifying which article the non-free images are for use in.

Please read the fair use rationale guidelines and the documentation for {{album cover fur}} to make sure that your images don't get tagged for deletion in future. If after reading both of these, you are still unsure about anything, get in touch with me and I'll try to help. Papa November (talk) 12:34, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, other people have fixed lots of image uploads for you in the past so I think now is a good time for you to learn how to do it. I will certainly help explain things if you get stuck. Papa November (talk) 14:53, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

To Credit or Not To Credit?

That is the question...my argument in defense of crediting is that neither Wikipedia nor any of its pages is (or ever was) owned by any private corporation. I believe Wikipedia even has a policy on these things (WP:OWN). Therefore, no matter what any record company says, I think all contributors should be credited on Wikipedia (after all, we enforce capitalization rules that they don't)

(BTW, feel free to put this in the debate consensus section-want to get the community's opinion) Tom Danson (talk) 17:39, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Well then I guess we should credit everyone that contributed to the single. Should we credit the producer and writers? Should we put Mike Jones featuring Nae Nae, and J.R. Rotem? Hometown Kid (talk) 14:47, 28 April 2009 (GMT)

• Not the producer and/or writers-just those who provide vocals. The credited should be the ones that give vocals (I made an error in my previous statement, so this is the correction) Tom Danson (talk) 19:24, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

• So, if there were to be single with just one artist and there were some background singers, should we include all of the background singers with their names. They provide vocals too. Hometown Kid (talk) 15:27, 28 April 2009 (GMT)

• • If a singer does lead hook vocals, (s)he should be credited regardless of what the label says (they don't own Wikipedia or any of its articles). As for the background vocals beyond that, then the label would decide. Tom Danson (talk) 06:08, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Add RB chart to Alicia Keys Discography

Hello hometown: Please add a RB colum to the Alicia Keys Discography page. AK has had many #1 on the RBcharts. AK is more of a RB artist. Beyonce has the RB column on her discography page so I think RB colums are allowed. AK's positions on the RB charts easily verifiable from BB. I dont know how to do charts that is why I havent done it. I dont wanna ruin the page. Thanks 64.26.99.120 (talk) 21:30, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I can't add another chart to the table because Explicit is going by the MOS:DISCOGS rules saying that there should be 10 maximum charts for discography pages. I added the Canadian Albums Chart there and he took it off after because there's already 10 charts there. So you should try explaining that to him since I'm not an administrator. Hometown Kid (talk) 20:05, 17 October 2009 (GMT).

If the rule is 10, why does beyonce discography have these 14 charts?

US / US R&B / US Dance / AUS / CAN / FRA / GER / IRE / NL / NZ / SUI / ISR / NOR / UK ? 64.26.99.120 (talk) 16:49, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

I read the DISCOGS page. The rule isnt 10. The SUGGESTION is 10. We are right to add RB chart per MOS:DISCOGS#Ignore_all_rules.

Therefore, if there is a reasonable justification for deviating from the above guidelines to most accurately or appropriately document an artist's body of work, then ignore all the rules and go with what's best for the article. It is our goal to provide information in the best way possible, so a strict adherence to the guidelines listed above may not always be the best way to accomplish our goals.

Just as Taylor Swift has US & Canada country charts on her disco page. 64.26.99.120 (talk) 16:58, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
