Stop Editing the T-Pain templete

The songs you are "fixing" are legit singles that have charted or are offcial singles If you're going to "fix" the templete then fix the songs, rather than deleting them.

Re: idol discography

the reason i made this page is cuz the american idol page has a discography list, so i figured id add a canadian idol discography page. also, i added american idol albums list cuz lots of albums from american idol charted in canada, so i wanted to note those too. also, im not the only 1 who edits that page. i know its not the most frequently edited page on wikipedia, but i thought i would make this page for ppl who were curious bout how good or how bad canadian idol (and some american) were doing post-show. so i dunno why y'ure makin such a big deal bout this.

Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album

Not sure if you've heard about this one yet, but someone just linked me to the tracklist at Tommy2. No other sources on it at present (except a placeholder Billboard page), but worth keeping an eye out for :D Frickative 15:56, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Interesting!! I wonder if it's the same as the "Tbd" album on Amazon.com? Neither of the two sites reveal a track listing, so I'm not sure. I certainly will keep an eye on it! Looks interesting, because I thought that album would be Volume 4 and not this one. I don't know if they will sing these on the show, though... there are twelve of them, and they have never done that many in an episode. Maybe they will only include some of them, or this is just an extra Christmas release, like "Last Christmas" was (speaking of which, I wonder if that version is the one on this album). In any case, the SuBo song is probably "O Holy Night", as it's the only one on her album. I wonder why Billboard has the album up when no other retailers or news sources do... Speaking of Tommy2, I'm doubting whether it's a reliable source or not. What do you think? Yves (talk) 16:58, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

I think for Wikipedia purposes it might not meet the requirements, but it does have a proven track record for accurately publishing all previous Glee titles and tracklists before other media sources. I agree it's unlikely all the tracks will make it on to the show, though it would be a shame if none of them do - I love a good Christmas song! I think with past releases it's taken the media a couple of days to a week to catch up once Tommy2 have got the titles up, so hopefully there should be some more info available in the next few days. Wondering why it's taking so long to get Volume 4 out though! Frickative 17:08, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Not sure, though, because there are different faiths in Glee, and there are no Hanukkah or Kwanzaa songs or anything like that. I'll wait until there are at least a few reliable sources before mentioning it in the season two or list of songs page. Yves (talk) 21:12, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm inclined to believe it, but I've checked the RS noticeboard and Tommy2 got a 'no' in 2007 and a 'borderline, only for uncontentious facts' in 2008. That said, I've done some quick Googling and a cast Christmas album was mentioned as early as May, and re-confirmed by Murphy a few weeks ago (with the mention of a November release date), so perhaps it could be mentioned in the season two article with Billboard as a ref for the title? I don't mind if you'd rather wait, though. This has given me a little push to finally get on with that merchandise article :) Frickative 21:35, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Nice work! :D Go ahead and add it! As for the tracklist, that would be considered contentious now, right? And remember to just mention November as the release date: who knows, maybe TBD is Volume 4, eh, or maybe they'll be released not far apart from each other? You never know. Yves (talk) 21:42, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Frickative: you never told me about this on MSN? =O

Certainly exciting! CycloneGU (talk) 02:26, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Ooooh look: it's on Barnes & Noble and the Japanese Amazon.com (as an import from the US), but it's not on any other Amazon.com country sites. Release date confirmed! :) Maybe it is the same one as the "TBD" one on Amazon.com? Can't know for sure, though. Yves (talk) 21:38, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

A Christmas episode is confirmed! http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2010/10/20/ask-ausiello-spoilers-glee-desperate-30-rock/ but nothing about songs or the album is. Yves (talk) 01:49, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Fun?

Isnt this fun? Are you enjoying it as much as i am? - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 20:14, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

omfg shoot me now. or them. not sure which one. i really like your way of adding information and then quickly reverting it haha. ensures well-referenced additions are made as sources come out so time won't be wasted trying to compile it all at a later date, as well as keeps page redirected. :P Yves (talk) 20:18, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Hahahah, thank you. I do it that way because each time i add a ref, the article slowly gets bigger and i archive every reference so its easier for maintenance. And omfg, can you please read rules before you edit, i knew this article was going to be a b***h but i didnt think it would be this much of a pain, though im extremely surprised no one has changed Cannibal (EP) to a studio album, which im quite happy about. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 21:09, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

I think it's pretty much standard, especially with the discussion at The Fame Monster lol. Yves (talk) 21:42, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Glee Cast Discog

We ought to consider a change here. If we continue with the page as it now is, that "Singles" section is going to become pages and pages long by the time Season 3 finishes. I'm going to chat with Frickative about this as well, but maybe we ought to break it into seasons, or even half-seasons, and forget the year? Maybe in seasons, we can then identify the episode for each song or something in place of the year (putting episode at the end of the table). This is a unique situation here and having 200 singles in a chart like this is something that you'll rarely see on a discography; even George Strait, the most popular man in country music I think, has 50 #1 singles and won't have as many singles overall as Glee will after this season (if not already; he has 88 singles overall listed here and it's already broken into decades). CycloneGU (talk) 04:04, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

You have a very good point haha. I just finished browsing the 2,185 discography pages, and as you may have seen already, many are broken into albums and singles (and sometimes posthumous) discographies, with Michael Jackson's albums discography even being divided into Michael Jackson albums discography (certifications and sales) and Michael Jackson albums discography (peak chart positions), with Michael Jackson albums discography remaining as a page. Browsing extensive singles discographies, though, we have The Beach Boys (> 100), Dolly Parton (106), David Bowie (108), Rod Stewart (109), Barbra (117), Stevie Wonder (~125), Ray Charles (127), Elton (128), Aretha (131), Céline (137), Elvis (~200), and the most is probably Frank Sinatra (297). None of these are divided in separate pages, though most are divided in decades. The Ol' Blue Eyes discography has divided its singles into the record labels (which we can't do), and then into years. Like you said, I think seasons is the best way to do this. Maybe pages like Glee Cast albums discography, Glee Cast singles discography (season 1), Glee Cast discography (season 2), and then other charted songs can go in the singles discographies of the respective seasons? I think we should wait first, though, until the second season is over, because only then can we accurately judge page growth; they did say the second season was going to have fewer songs, eh? The first thirteen episodes of the first season were slow in singles (4, 3, 2, 1, 4, 3, 4, 3, 5, 6, 6, 3, 4 [+ 1, 5]), but then things really picked up in the back nine (5, 7, 5, 5, 5, 4, 5, 6, 0). So far the second season has been averaging six (5, 6, 7, 6, 0) and it has fluctuated, so we can't really tell if they're increasing or decreasing from this point. The cast of Glee has currently released 119 singles, though only 112 are in the table (with 6 other charted songs in its own table). I think we should wait, though, after two seasons have aired, before actually dividing any pages. Yves (talk) 05:37, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

You know what? After going through all those discography pages, I have to say the Glee Cast one is actually pretty short lol. Yves (talk) 05:42, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm all right with keeping everything as one page. If we were to change anything into multiple pages, I'd say have a Glee Cast Season 1 Discography page and a Glee Cast Season 2 Discography, keep the albums (even the EPs) where they are, and have the singles only on the season page. Otherwise, we leave the entire page alone but break the page at "Good Vibrations" (listed last in the Funk episode), give that now-ended section a Season 1 sub-header, then put a new header in below and continue charting for Season 2.

Again, I'll ask Frickative her opinion as well. I worked with her to get the Season 1 article to FL status, and I know she's GAed a lot of episode articles, so I highly value her opinion as well. I see her on MSN as I type, so I'll poke her right now. =D CycloneGU (talk) 14:12, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Hahaha alright; I highly value her opinion as well. :P For naming conventions, though, I don't think Glee Cast Season 1 Discography would work, as that would imply the artist name is "Glee Cast Season 1", which it isn't. If you look at Olivia Newton-John's singles templates, they're divided into Olivia Newton-John singles (1971-1990) and Olivia Newton-John singles (1992-present/Other singles), so I think the parenthetical notation is the preferred method, like it was done for the MJ discography. I think I agree with you on the season split; I think I will do that. Yves (talk) 14:20, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

I'll be happy to do it, I already have an idea in mind for how it could look. =) Let's get her opinion first tho.; she's looking through some FL discogs ATM. CycloneGU (talk) 14:23, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh sorry; I already went ahead and did it. Is that what you were thinking? Or something different? Yves (talk) 14:28, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

That's part of it! I also had a couple of other changes I was thinking about. I'm going to use my userspace to play with it a bit and show you what I have in mind. CycloneGU (talk) 14:33, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

(multiple edit conflict later :p) Hey! I think at this point in time I agree with keeping everything in one article (obviously we can reconsider in the future if things keep growing exponentially) and just splitting the singles up by season. Perusing the lengthier featured discographies it seems they're either split up by decade or a specific "era", which in Glee terms given the massive output is probably the equivalent of a season. The way it's been split now looks good to me :) There have been some WP:ACCESS changes lately that means some of the code for the tables needs tweaking - I think the biggest change is having the title column first rather than the year, but that's a minor issue that doesn't affect this discussion. Frickative 14:37, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, there are new WP:DISCOGSTYLE guidelines to satisfy the WP:ACCESS part of WP:MoS (for example, I've already converted the discography at Bruno Mars), and I'm going to get around to that soon! :) Yves (talk) 14:44, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Section Break

See my sandbox as I've started making one suggested change. I've only done two episodes so far on the first season, but if this is a good change I can continue for the entire season. CycloneGU (talk) 14:46, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

*poke* I saw you active at the other discussion I started, I'm waiting for your opinion on this before I add additional edits in my userspace. CycloneGU (talk) 15:47, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Well just to let you know, the layout's gonna change to be something like what you see at Rihanna discography, with the song title (most important part) coming first. Maybe it can be at the end? I'm not sure if you should have them; we originally had them, but they were removed for some reason, I think because discographies don't normally have that (for example, see Hannah Montana discography), although I don't know. Yves (talk) 18:14, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Yup, I know that I reverted the addition of episode titles at some point, though that was several months ago, and my rationale was that it's not a standard facet of discographies. It also possibly creates some redundancy with the song lists. That said, however, I can see that it could be useful information, as Glee is in the rather unique position of essentially having a soundtrack to each episode, so it could be pertinent to note which came from where? I don't really mind either way - perhaps it would be okay if the episodes were moved to the far end column, so they could be easily removed if it became a problem in future? Frickative 19:16, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Frickative has now made that change in my sandbox copy. It now more closely resembles the Rihanna discography you link to. The only difference is that Certifications is absent; basically, the uniqueness of "Glee Cast" might allow us to include the extra column for this one, because each episode is its own "album" in a sense. The exceptions are the third and fourth episodes, which had releases totalling 2 and 1 respectively.

We can also wipe out Sales and replace it with Certifications if there are any, but I don't think there are (except perhaps for "Don't Stop Believin'"). CycloneGU (talk) 00:18, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Great job! Thanks, Frickative; I was just about to do that, and you saved me a lot of time! :D If you don't mind, I will continue the rest of the episode name additions, and yes, I believe the sales column should be replaced with certifications: there are a couple! Yves (talk) 00:23, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm thinking of removing the album column from the second season singles table, because they are all non-album singles. What do you think? Or would you like that information to remain there for people to know they aren't from any album? Yves (talk) 00:38, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Leave the Albums section in. We have to have an album tracklist sooner or later.

I wonder if we can also add the Christmas album to the albums listings BTW, without a link since we only have one supposedly unreliable source (which has proven for this purpose quite reliable, mind) so far? CycloneGU (talk) 01:59, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Already added lol. (B&N) Yves (talk) 02:01, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

I see that now. =)

Should we put the new Singles layout into the article now? I'll be happy to transpose it in, just gotta be sure we don't erase something from the current article version in error in the transfer. Otherwise, it can stay in my Sandbox for further tweaks. CycloneGU (talk) 03:32, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

I think it's ready to transfer now. :) I just left out the years from the season 2 songs because the heading is already 2010–present, but do you think we should add them for consistency? Yves (talk) 04:05, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

I completely missed that column. Do we really need that in there? CycloneGU (talk) 04:19, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Well we definitely will when episodes air in the new year, so we might as well, right? And just to keep it consistent within both tables. Yves (talk) 04:23, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

I meant in the first table as well. We're branching it into seasons, and therefore it will take place from 2009-2010 with releases assumed somewhat chronologically. Therefore, why are we including that column? I think this is a rare situation where we can avoid using that column because with 86 singles in a two year span it's kinda redundant. CycloneGU (talk) 04:25, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Well to show which singles were released in each year, right? Yves (talk) 04:31, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I know that. But again, does it matter? We know it was released during Season 1, a period which (with exception to the pilot in May) took place in a span of less than a full year. Season 1 is already by itself now, and Season 2 as well. We've just made the year redundant. Either that or we mash it back together and keep the year column in. Personally, I prefer the split and the year omitted.

Also, from DISCOGSTYLE, the end of the policy has the rule, "Ignore all rules". While I'm not exactly doing that, it states "...if there is a reasonable justification for deviating from the above guidelines to most accurately or appropriately document an artist's [e.g. cast's] body of work, then ignore all the rules and go with what's best for the article." This is what I think is best for the article, get the year column outta there. It's not necessary.

I'm curious about Frickative's thoughts on the matter, hopefully she will chip in after getting some sleep. =) CycloneGU (talk) 04:52, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Haha omg don't even talk to me about sleep. Sounds good, though; as long as we discussed it, and in case it comes up during peer review or FL nom (which i hope to see this page go to!). =) Yves (talk) 04:55, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Heehee, I helped get one page there, I'd love to see another get there (though in this case you have a big hand in getting it there!). The challenge will become updating it during all of the nominating with new figures and such, and while the mid-season break gives a chance for just reviewing and fixing stuff, the second half of the season (and season 3) will start introducing possible changes and could throw the page out of FL. Hopefully we can get it there and keep it there! =D CycloneGU (talk) 05:29, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Well that shouldn't be hard, right? New figures are easily accessible on Billboard and all second season peaks are updated with reliable references, with the exception of two ARIA peaks (we need to wait until the Pandora Archive has those). Yves (talk) 05:33, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Well, I see you omitted year now. =) After Frickative comments on the page in the morning or whenever, we'll look into transferring it back to the Glee page in updated form. Wanna give her a chance to comment first. =) CycloneGU (talk) 05:41, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good! Imma go to bed now or I will miss orgo chem in the morning. Good night + ttyl! :) Yves (talk) 05:43, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

One more thing I'm noticing. I didn't copy "Other Singles" and am debating how to treat that one. Since it's a thing that all non-single songs will go into without a split, that one would need the year. Either that or we can split those as well into each section with the same sub-header each time, but that might be too much.

I may leave it for your judgment, but I'll think about it for a bit. I'm back on the job searching prowl today and won't be here all day, but will be for a bit. CycloneGU (talk) 13:35, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Gooood morning/afternoon/evening... whenever :p Re: other charted songs... my current thinking iiiiis to leave it as one section (it's relatively small, if there were dozens of songs there it would probably be a different matter), and hm, I think it's okay to have dates there. It might be a slight inconsistency with the season singles tables, but given the sheer multitude of singles there, repeating the same date up to 30 times seems redundant and better covered through the date range in the section header. With the other songs, as there are only a handful of entries, redundancy isn't so much of an issue. I hope that makes sense. The edited singles tables in the sandbox now look great to me, happy to see them transferred into the mainspace :) Frickative 15:31, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Tables imported, the other songs chart is fixed up a bit, Frickative is doing a little more on it but I put episodes in there as well for that consistency and put in the scope bits (which I'm learning about just today while editing). Off to job searching. We need a new source for Jessie's Girl certifications, apparently the reference name wasn't valid. CycloneGU (talk) 17:23, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I fixed that; sorry, my fault. It's all good now; looks great! Good luck with the hunt! :) Yves (talk) 17:25, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

So I've added a bit of background information about the performers and the music of Glee in the lead; seems to be what they are looking for in FLs (examples here and here). I've also added non-breaking spaces and added the Glee task force banner to the task force; thought it was already added, but I guess not (unsure about whether to rate top or high, though... maybe high?). Anything else you guys think needs fixing or work on? Some wording, maybe? I'll look at some FLs tomorrow(today) and see if there's anything specific with the refs that might need some minor tweaking (for example with work vs. publisher). Yves (talk) 04:54, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Sam Tsui

Hey! I recently made a few changes to the Sam Tsui page which were undone, and would just like to explain a few of them before attempting to re-edit them. And just as a disclaimer, I'm not sure how this is supposed to be handled, but I actually AM Sam Tsui and was simply intending to update the article and also just make it more coherent and easy to understand. For example, saying "using multiple pitch variations...ranging from tenor to baritone" is actually somewhat nonsensical as relates to the MJ Medley, which is (as KurtHugoSchneider's Youtube channel states) is an SATB arrangement; namely the top part is considered soprano, and the bottom bass. Removing the "labels" section of the information box was simply because while there were digital releases through Sh-k-Boom and Mudhut, "Sam Tsui" is not actually signed to these labels, so that's incorrect. Saying "former" member of the Duke's Men of Yale IS in fact verified on their website by virtue of his no longer being on the roster of active singers. Adding other popular videos such as the Love the Way You Lie Mashup or Lady Gaga Medley are again simply derived directly from the Youtube channel, which is already sourced several times throughout the article. I certainly wished to remove "American Baritones" from the list of categories because this is simply not true - baritone is a classification of a kind of male voice, and one really shouldn't be considered both a tenor and baritone, even if he sings in the ranges of both. Similarly, tenor as a category generally includes classical male singers, which I (Tsui) am not. Changing Chinese to half-Chinese, again, is just a matter of fact. And as the source myself, I guess I'm confused as to how i can make this simple factual change. In general, I guess I'm just asking how I can get some of these changes through without always having the article be reverted. Many thanks, Sam. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Samtsui.music (talk • contribs) 08:30, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your hasty response - I don't intend to be difficult, but a few things. One: The arrangement IS in fact SATB, as it clearly states on the video for the page itself - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R12QVtuB0_Q, "To download the sheet music PDF (in SATB) for this song:" The pdf itself, which is available there, is written in SATB - and again, an arrangement is considered SATB if it is written as such, regardless of what kind of voice is singing it. A tenor is entirely capable of singing such an arrangment, with it still being considered SATB. So I would love to be able to change this, as the source itself defines the arrangement as SATB. Secondly, in that very Duke's Men website you linked to, "Sam Tsui" is NOT on the roster of active singers, but is listed as "class of '11", as an alumnus. Third, I must emphasize that it's misleading to list Mudhut and Sh-ka-Boom under "labels", as there is in fact no verifiable source that Tsui is signed to these labels, but merely engaged in Digital Releases. In fact, the Youtube channel lists Tsui as "unsigned" which I believe is amore verifiable source. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Samtsui.music (talk • contribs) 17:33, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Okay, first of all "using multiple pitch variations" make little to no sense from an a cappella singing/musical standpoint. The article quoted is not only uncited (and unsourced, as neither myself or Kurt were interviewed), but the article itself contains a number of sentences written in English with incredibly poor grammar, so to quote this phrase specifically (which is non-idiomatic English) seems inappropriate. Secondly, a male is absolutely capable of singing an SATB arrangement - check out Chanticleer, or any number of groups containing male sopranos or altos. If a piece is arranged SATB, then even if a male is singing it, it remains an SATB arrangement. "Ranging from baritone to tenor" certainly does not make sense, as there is not even a baritone part in the arrangement, and the lowest part is in fact bass. Again, I do not mean to be difficult, but this is a minor edit that would make this piece of information more clear. I guess as regards the Duke's Men, will I at least be able to change "member" to "former member" as of 2011? I guess the difficulty I'm finding is that I'll of course always be listed as a "Duke's Man class of 2011", but I think it would be misleading to call me a member of the Duke's men, say, years after i'm no longer attending Yale or singing with them. Again, these are not huge deals, but would be nice to make clearer Samtsui.music (talk) 17:58, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Again, I'm not suggesting that Tsui IS either a soprano or alto - but the the verifiable truth is that he performs an SATB arrangement, which is both true and verifiable from the pdf arrangement itself. Part of what makes the video unique is the fact that he DOES in fact perform the parts which would usually be sung be women and other voice parts - thus, he is a tenor PERFORMING an entire SATB ARRANGEMENT. Again, "tenor to baritone" really does not make sense. Samtsui.music (talk) 20:10, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Jessica Mauboy discography

Its already been set for a November 5 release. Sony have been telling fans on her facebook, mypsace, Twitter, in the media, they've done adds for it on iTunes and yesterday they released a snippet of all songs off the album. I don't think it'll be delayed. ozurbanmusic (talk) 22:21, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Amazon release dates

You have to be very careful with iTunes and Amazon. In the UK singles are released on Sunday or Monday to make the most of the chart week which runs from Sunday to Sunday. (its different to the US and Australia). However for pre-releases Amazon nearly always had multiple dates. Below the track list it usually has a section which says release date and genre etc. If you scroll to the top of the page there's a blue box in the left-hand corner that says "This album/single will be available on October 24, 2010". -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 20:12, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Why does it say the release date and the original release date are the twenty-first? :S Yves (talk) 20:18, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Amazon always does that because 21 October will be the date it goes active in Ireland as Irish singles are released on Fridays to coincide with their chart week. Its very confusing but I can assure you that if you tried to buy the single on the 21 you wouldn't be able to because its not going to active till October 24. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 23:57, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh, okay. Yeah, I actually changed it to be in a separate table myself a couple of months ago, but was shot down, and when I brought the discussion to the talk page, the idea wasn't welcomed. Yves (talk) 01:35, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Wait a second - they shot down the correct treatment? I would argue vehemently that "Half of My Heart" is a John Mayer single, not a Taylor Swift single. The treatment being applied is now correct and anyone who wants to give a different opinion can't really refute that. Separate tables are correct. CycloneGU (talk) 01:37, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm glad you agree. I think someone used the argument that it passed FL without that being raised as a concern, but that doesn't mean the article is perfect. Actually, if you ask me, the article should be demoted from FL; it is not representative of Wikipedia's best work and is unsourced in some areas (which FLs never should be). Yves (talk) 01:39, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Maybe we can work on that and simply remove unsourced material that we can't find a source for? Maybe I'll study this one for a while; Glee is pretty drab this week with no new episode. I'm gone allday 2morrow, tho.

I've also revived the discussion on the talk page. CycloneGU (talk) 01:43, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I see that! Well, first of all none of the peaks for featured singles are sourced. Also, the peak for "Crazier" in the UK is not referenced, no ref for Fearless peak in Germany, no ref for Taylor Swift peak in the UK, no ref for "Breathless" CAN peak (it is actually incorrect, according to the allmusic source), and "Jump Then Fall" and "Crazier" Australian peaks are not referenced. Pretty bad for an FL. I'm disappointed. Yves (talk) 01:59, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

After I do my Facebook gaming, I'll take a look at some of these if I can figure out good places to find them. AllMusic I tend to use for some rating information, in fact, so if the one is wrong I can change it. But I'd rather have an actual chart source even so. CycloneGU (talk) 03:04, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Looks like you found some sources (and the gaming is going strange, I'm chasing ghosts in Frontierville now and have to harvest Pumpkins), and the person I left a note for does want to try to help. Go ahead and watch my talkpage, I've said to carry on the discussion there and it lets you also keep tabs since I'm gone during the day 2morrow. If you want to make another arrangement (such as your talk page), I'll let you get in touch with him under my last post there, but I don't mind hosting the discussion and helping a bit myself. =) CycloneGU (talk) 03:49, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Alright, i respectfully disagree, but whatever. Anyways, the album booklet does not have times, but its on the CD. Do I use the same template? Booklet has lyrics and the "hidden messages". Also all those notes that I am not going to add in because its way too tedious. Superbowlbound (talk) 21:59, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. Also the times are different (shorter than songs actually are. ie Mine (song) is listed at 3:50. different from what is listed and time one Itunes, which are already one second off. Is the album considered correct or the times on the disc?) Superbowlbound (talk) 22:03, 22 October 2010 (UTC).

i mean the times listed on the disc/album are different than their length in iTunes OR their length in the Article. As in the CD says 3:50 for Mine; article says 3:51, and (my) iTunes says 3:52. which one is considered accurate? Superbowlbound (talk) 22:09, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I just have to ask, how is an External Link that posts the lyrics to an album inappropriate? Besides the link you posted states "There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to an article..." Besides, MetroLyrics doesn't fall in the lines of a "link to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product".

Billboard problems

Sorry. Physical magazine reference is the only way to go for now. The position you are looking at didn't get stored in the database correctly, and that means it isn't showing up properly. When this link returns data, that means it has been entered into the database properly and you should be able to use normal references.

Okay, but I don't know if sources will have much impact. Besides the significant coverage part, of course, it still fails the three criteria in WP:NSONGS, where it did not win or get nominated for any awards (unlike "Happy Working Song", "That's How You Know" ft. Marlon Saunders, and "So Close"), did not get notably covered by notable artists, and did not chart (as far as I'm aware). Yves (talk) 07:09, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Seemed like the song did not chart in Billboard's charts. Are charts from other places, like in Asia counted? Silvergoat (talk∙contrib) 08:50, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Glee Christmas Album

iTunes has a tracklist. I'm putting the rough start to the article together and uploading the cover art, also from iTunes, and thus removing the redirect at the same time. Please follow up behind me as you might have a better idea what else can be put there in the meantime. My concern: the album name on iTunes has a hyphen in it, while our page has none - if the official name has a hyphen, we'll have to move the article and fix the title properly in the article, too.

Give me a few minutes and it'll be ready for you to work on. It's ready for you and Frickative to add stuff to, the shell (without references, mind) is now up. =) CycloneGU (talk) 03:57, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Perfect! I was actually gonna start working on it today, and you're one step ahead of me! Props! :) Yves (talk) 04:09, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Well, it's kinda funny as I was checking out of curiosity whether any new songs popped out given the Halloween episode is tonite (no more did, predictably). I think they just put the album in there today for pre-order. I thought I'd save you and Frickative the basic work, and I've updated her as well. CycloneGU (talk) 04:10, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Haha well okay. I'm working on it right now. By the way, do you think you could upload a slightly larger image? The rules are that it can't be more than 300 × 300, but this one is small in comparison to the infobox and just looks weird. Thanks in advance! Also, do you know what I realized a couple of weeks ago? Even if we have a tracklist, and know Glee always does covers of songs, it's actually WP:OR to link the songs names, eh? Like even the song "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch": there is probably an infinitesimal chance it isn't the one from the Dr. Seuss film adaptation, but if the sources don't say it, we can't assume it; there is a chance it could be a completely different song with the same title. Until verifiable confirmation is to be found, I think what we (myself included) have been doing with linking songs is not really right... What do you think? Yves (talk) 04:21, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

All I did there was put square brackets around the title. I presumed it would link correctly, but there were two redlinks. Many songs are unmistakable, but there are a select few I'm not familiar with. I don't know what other song refers to Mr. Grinch, it's either the Dr. Seuss one or the one from the movie where Faith Hill was involved with "Where Are You Christmas". My suspicion is it's based on the movie version. What else COULD it be?

On the other hand, I'm sure everyone agrees songs like "O Holy Night" and "Angels We Have Heard On High" obviously have no issues as they are traditional, but any others that come to mind that you're not sure about? My uncertainty is with just the first two, the rest I've heard many times by many artists (again with exception to the Grinch one, which I've only heard in the movie and related soundtrack). On the other hand, track 1 Wikilinked when I put it in, while track 2 didn't. CycloneGU (talk) 06:19, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Image now updated to 300x300; original copy was iTunes, new one came from Amazon which is already that exact size. CycloneGU (talk) 06:24, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! "Deck the Rooftop" is not a Christmas carol: I believe it may be a mashup of "Deck the Halls" and "Up on the Rooftop"? As for your question, yes, I do believe everyone would agree a song like "Angels We Have Heard on High" is the traditional one, but one cannot be sure. Per WP:OR and WP:V, it has to be published in a reliable source to be eligible for inclusion on Wikipedia. For example, say one were to look at this page from an area that doesn't celebrate Christmas, and is thus unfamiliar with Christmas music: would someone from Saudi Arabia be able to tell you there is one standard carol called "Angels We Have Heard on High"? Not really, and until we get a reliable source, I think it would still be considered WP:OR to wikilink it, no matter how absurd that sounds. I know; I am really wanting to link it, too, but per Wikipedia policies, I do not think that is what we should be doing. Yves (talk) 06:48, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

I beg to differ in opinion on "Angels We Have Heard On High" because I have never, in my 30 years on this Earth, heard any other song by that title. If you want to look up Hanukkah carols, if such a page exists, or other holidays' carols, go ahead. If nothing with that title appears there, then there is nothing else it COULD be. If we can't Wikilink "Angels", then we really ought to remove every single Wikilink from that article until the album's release; this includes "O Holy Night" and "Jingle Bells" as well. All three are literally traditional songs and cannot be anything else, so I still beg to differ.

In any case, I'll do a search for information relating to the Christmas album. CycloneGU (talk) 14:27, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Alright, found this reference to "12 classsic Christmas songs" (though you're right, the one title seems suspect), in addition to this reference to how "the separation of church and state doesn't seem to apply to McKinley High"; in other news, did you see this from the LA Times? They muse about whether Lea sang O Holy Night before or after this was taken. CycloneGU (talk) 14:35, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Hahaha yeah I saw that. I know, and I agree with you: I have never heard of another song called "Angels We Have Heard on High", but the thing is, you don't know what they're going to do. It could be a song they wrote, with the same title! Or it could be a different song, with a change in title. I still think it is WP:OR, possibly with elements of WP:SYNTH, to link the songs to the pages. The few songs I linked were because the press release and Billboard mentioned the songs were Christmas classics. Yves (talk) 22:25, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

When one source states "12 Christmas classics", I'd think that gives us leeway to presume the songs are old standbys and not unique. CycloneGU (talk) 22:54, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Ooooh: where does it say that! Yves (talk) 22:58, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Haha, found it in the EW reference, anyway (don't know if RTTNews is a reliable source; site looks amateur, and articles don't seem of very good quality). But I'm confused: how is "Deck the Rooftop" a Christmas classic? Or "The Most Wonderful Day of the Year"; the song is "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year"? It would be WP:OR then to assume, if at all, it's the same song with a change in lyrics, eh? Yves (talk) 23:14, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

I agree with your last statement, those two titles stand out to me as well. CycloneGU (talk) 23:19, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Section Break

Okay. I will not link them for the time being. Yves (talk) 23:22, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

I do think linking 6-12 would be legit. though. Last Christmas originates from the group Wham!. The rest I think are traditional, as is track 4 which is already confirmed who the original artist is. I don't know 1, but it looks like you have a source for it. That leaves 2, 3, and 5 I wouldn't link, if any. CycloneGU (talk) 23:25, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't know what "O Holy Night" sounds like. :S Maybe, I do, but the name's not coming straight to me. "Merry Christmas, Darling" is a song by The Carpenters that reached number one on the Billboard Christmas Singles chart. And you know what? I think I'm going leave out writing credits for now: a lot of carols were translated/written/composed by bishops and priests and things, and it is yet unknown what the album will official credit in terms of composers. And I don't want to do any WP:OR. For example, the words of "Angels We Have Heard on High" were translated from French by James Chadwick, but the melody is from the hymn "Gloria" but arranged by Edward Shippen Barnes. Yves (talk) 23:40, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

I agree with leaving writers out. There is no doubt about the song itself, but the writers for traditional carols even on Allmusic are just labelled "Traditional" with no composers, so those ones in particular will have no issues. Everyone does their own melody; you should hear SHeDaisy's "Deck The Halls". CycloneGU (talk) 02:49, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Finn

Per WP:UNDUE I think only Cory should be in the infobox, and the other 2 should be in casting. CTJF83 chat 06:13, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

I agree with this, and for the same reason :) There is precedent for doing it that way - eg. Jack Harkness, a GA which lists only the primary performer in the ibox, and mentions a single-episode child actor in the body of the article. Frickative 15:07, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Hmmmm I don't know, though: look at FAs like Jabba the Hutt and Jason Voorhees, they list all portrayers, though FA Bernard Quatermass has just "Various", but that may be due to the large number. I feel like just putting Monteith would be POV because people would think there is only one portrayer for this fictional character... maybe we could have something like a (see casting) below it? With only one portrayer in the infobox, it seems redundant to have "Portrayed by Cory Monteith" as well as "Cory Monteith as Finn Hudson" as the caption. But if we had the note below the main actor, I would be okay with that. Yves (talk) 22:23, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

The 2 examples you gave are different, in they are in different movies and completely portrayed by different people. Cory is the main portrayer, with just very minor, few minutes portrayals by different kids. If Cory was all of a sudden ousted, and someone came in brand new portraying Finn in all subsequent episodes as an adult, then it would be reasonable to list Cory and the new person. CTJF83 chat 22:28, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Okay. I still think it's misleading to only have his name there without at least a note or something. Would you prefer the idea of a quick mention in the lead paragraph? Yves (talk) 22:38, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Ummm....I mean we don't wanna give UNDUE wait to the two kids portraying him, cause obviously Cory is the main portrayer...so I don't have an answer really about the lead.... CTJF83 chat 22:41, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

This Edit

I've restored WIlted Youth's edit to Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album because your Wikilinks go to places that redirect to other pages. He simply fixed the Wikilinks themselves to direct correctly; the titles remained unchanged in the prose. CycloneGU (talk) 22:10, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

I am aware. But it doesn't. They go right to the article. They do not need to be "fixed" because they are not "broken". WP:NOTBROKEN applies, and it is extremely unlikely the redirects will ever change to point to another article. What else could "O Christmas Tree" or "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" direct to? It's also a waste of coding and article space. Yves (talk) 22:14, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

I disagree. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen redirects to God rest you merry, gentlemen; we should be linking to the direct article, not linking to redirects. Same thing with O Christmas Tree redirecting to O Tannenbaum. I steadfastly insist we use the standard article in the Wikilink, but I will agree that the title on the album should not be changed as they don't use that title. WIlted Youth had the correct idea, and I didn't change it when I saw it before you did because I recognized it was correct. I know what you are referencing says it's not necessary and could even be detrimental; however, I think in cases like this one it should be observed. What happens if the redirect page gets tampered with and unnoticed? The article exists, but we aren't linking to it because of the redirect missing.

Again, this is just my opinion. CycloneGU (talk) 22:39, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

FWIW, I think we should follow WP:R2D - unnecessary invisible coding makes editing harder for Wiki newbies, and I don't think possible future vandalism is a compelling reason to ignore an established guideline. But I'm really only chipping in because the first discussion I ever had with Yves was about this exact guideline, so seeing it pop up made me smile :) Frickative 22:59, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

It's not "invalid for coverage"; it simply isn't a legit single.

Fergie discography

Well other charted songs are more like songs that weren't released as singles and just charted. Both "Finally" and "Labels of Love" received radio and digital download releases. Are you trying to tell me it has to be released as a CD single to be considered an official single? That's not what I've been told yet again when I tried to discuss "Woohoo" being an official single. Are they wrong then? I don't understand what exactly the qualifications of a single is. ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT (Talk) 23:35, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

I know what you mean. I think there should be some kind of qualification added or something. It seriously drives me crazy. If you'd like to change it back, I can put them back. I'm currently converting the style. ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT (Talk) 23:47, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Question about album count

Hi, Yves. A quick question: why'd you change the count of studio albums on Rihanna discography from 5 to 4? — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 05:35, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh, that was because she has only released four studio albums. This is because in the [highly improbably] chance that the album gets cancelled or pushed back or delayed or something happens that brings about its non-existence, it would count, so she would never have released five studio albums, right? For an artist like Rihanna, the probability is infinitesimal, but existent nonetheless, and if it was cancelled, it would be like, "Oh wait, JK nvm there aren't five studio albums." *change back to 4*. Per WP:CRYSTAL, it's not definite until it happens, right? Yves (talk) 05:42, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Right, totally agree. Only: we've already got Loud listed in the table (and can't get rid of it anymore, not that I haven't tried). So the problem for me (beside the OMG-let's-not-wait-even-a-second mentality) is that the counter box thingy doesn't match the number of items in the table. Yes, its breaking CRYSTAL to have it in the table, but now there's a mismatch. IYSWIM. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 11:53, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

True, but looking at the studio albums table, one can know the album hasn't been released, so it's not really a mismatch. Yves (talk) 11:58, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Just the Way You Are

Thank you for changing it the chart year for Just the Way You Are (Billy Joel song) to just 1978. I wasn't sure when the actual peak occurred in the UK, so I didn't want to change it. However, note that WP:YEAR would not apply in this case because dashes refer to a date range, chart peaks are singular years, which is why WP:CHARTS actually recommends separate charts for different peak years. I didn't do that in this case because I did not know the actual peak dates for this song. Thanks. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 18:06, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, they have been pretty good in the past, but since a track listing is considered "contentious facts", I would like to leave it for now. I think it's best to wait, because I'm still really reluctant and iffy about using it as a good source. I don't see the harm in waiting; a page on Barnes & Noble, Billboard, or allmusic should be up within the next couple of days, and I'd be much more comfortable with one of those as a source. :) Yves (talk) 08:47, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

"The Time (The Dirty Bit)"

I didn't remove it. They did. If you check iTunes and all the releases, it doesn't have the second The. And it's also been removed from their site posts, etc. ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT (Talk) 20:36, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Maybe I changed it a bit fast. But it seemed pretty legit to me. And are you talking about the blog post by them? I don't think that really qualifies as it could be incorrect. The song was released as "The Time (Dirty Bit)" so it should be called as so. How about changing the info to say "also know as" instead of "previously"? ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT (Talk) 20:54, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

From all the releases, and their website announcing it's release http://www.blackeyedpeas.com/home/news/812629 I think it's safe to say that the second "the" was removed from the title. Added the sign, btw. Haha, school - it's exhausting. Anyways, I changed it to say "also known as The Time (The Dirty Bit)" as it was released without the "the." ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT (Talk) 20:54, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh god, can't wait for that... :P But yeah. It seems to me they removed the "the" from it last minute (which is understandable, it actually annoyed the hell outta me.) I say we should wait and see in the next few days if it changes on the charts and stuff. I didn't realize that before I changed it. ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT (Talk) 21:01, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, I'd say it'd just be best to keep it without the second the, as it was released as such. Billboard seems to be the only one saying otherwise as of right now. ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT (Talk) 00:37, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Release dates in album articles

Hey! Quick query - is there a relevant guideline governing release date sections? I was about to add a few more to Volume 1, but then realised I wasn't sure whether it should just be for countries where the album charted, so it doesn't turn into a long indiscriminate list? I can't find anything official either way, but I'm probably looking in the wrong places. Frickative 05:52, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Hey! There actually aren't any concrete rules that I can find, and WP:ALBUM#Release history doesn't address that. It makes sense to have the dates of the countries that charted, and maybe some other major areas where it didn't. I've just seen many articles with release dates of many countries. I see you've done a lot of work with converting tables to satisfy WP:ACCESS. I have to ask, though: have those changes been fully approved? Also, I'd like to know where you think the article is lacking in terms of GA standards. Looking at a GA like Sounds of the Season: The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection, I think we have a great article so far, but would like to know what can be done to improve it. :) Yves (talk) 06:23, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I had tabs open for a few different European countries, but I think instead I'll just go through the ones where it charted to check whether the release was physical or digital or both. It looks like there's still some bickering going on over the finer points, but given that the data table recommendations moved from essay to guideline form a couple of months ago without opposition, I'd assume tacit approval. The only element I changed which isn't part of that was moving the references to a column at the end, which is entirely my own preference just because I think it looks a bit neater, haha. I've seen featured lists present the refs either way so I assume it's not a problem, but I don't mind if you'd rather have them integrated back in with the data. (Oh, the captions are pretty terrible though, I'm no good at those =/).

In terms of further improvements, I think vast swathes of the critical response section could stand to be paraphrased, because it looks like I just threw a lot of quotes down and left it at that. Development isn't as bad, but there's still some meaningless promo-speak like "Glee is a smart and challenging yet totally mainstream platform for the most innovative use of classic and contemporary pop seen on television." Blah. Bad writing is entirely my fault though, so I'll try and give it a good copy-edit this weekend. That aside, for broadness of coverage there should probably be a brief mention of the tour in there somewhere - perhaps just at the end of "Development", because I don't think there's enough material to support a separate "Promotion" section as in the TSwift article. Oh, and something about the inclusion of the karaoke bonus tracks, again probably just a sentence under Development. That should take care of GA critera 1 and 3. 4-6 are already met, then a check through of the references for formatting and redirecting URLS, a quick fix of the dablinks and then hopefully, that should be that! Frickative 07:16, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Nope, I'm perfectly good with the refs being placed at the last column! It does make it look neater. And I'm not sure what you mean by "captions"? Haha no, don't think of it as "bad writing"! Just think of it as a continuous improvement. Indeed, I've noticed your writing skills have only become stronger, especially in paraphrasing reviewers' comments. I've kind of been doing some of the 'Mr. X from Newspaper Y thought that "Lorem ipsum quote"' kinda thing, but I see it's really toned down. Looking at your most recent: the music section for "Never Been Kissed" is a prime example of great work, and I've been trying to emulate that. :P

About promotion, I agree that a separate promotion section is unnecessary: the tour could be mentioned in a couple of sentences ("A tour ... accompanied the album ... visited cities in North America. "..." were included on the setlist." or something). In some album articles, I've seen singles merged with promotion (example: FA Janet Jackson's Control), because singles are many times considered promotion for the album, but I guess not with the case of Glee; singles kind of stood on their own and the album acted as a compilation of the tracks digitally, in a way, and for those who wanted a physical copy. I'll tackle the quick karaoke tracks sentence, and I'll update somes singles sales figures from a Yahoo! Music article that uses data from Nielsen SoundScan. Also, I'm going to try to find an updated sales figure for the album, if it exists. :) Yves (talk) 08:47, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

I think you forgot to replace the URL for Mexico? Haha. Yves (talk) 01:05, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

By captions I mean the pre-header bits, like "List of sales certifications by country and provider" - I'm not sure if they're actually meant to be that descriptive, like alt-text, or if shorter/simpler would be better. Thank you, considering it as a continuous process is certainly a much kinder way of looking at it, and thank you very much for your comments on "Never Been Kissed"! I agree that with Glee, the singles aren't really promoting the album - more the show itself if anything. Great find on the updated sales figures (very surprising to see a season two track make it in there within a month of release!) And perhaps I'm looking at the diff wrong (and I wouldn't be at all surprised to have messed it up), but to me it looks as though I replaced mexicancharts.com with the Mexican iTunes Store? Frickative 08:55, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

From what I've seen, it looks like it's similar to alt text, though I'm not certain. The one you mentioned seems to be alright, in any case. You're quite welcome! And I was surprised, too! Though I didn't think it was that great, I think the reason for the huge sales is because it was the first single of the season after months of Glee withdrawal that I know I went through haha. And with the diff, you used the URL for The Christmas Album, instead. :P Yves (talk) 09:11, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Would you mind if we used the iTunes store for season 2 instead? I own shares in apple. CoombaDelray (talk) 02:29, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

As Yves says, we originally used iTunes for season one references, however the individual singles were later removed from the store. I then had the tedious task of changing all the references to point to a different source - something I'd rather not repeat when the same thing inevitably happens with the season two singles in a few months time. Frickative 02:37, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

WP:COI much? The reason I use Amazon is because the singles released today (Tuesday, November 29, 2010) were made available for preorder all the way from November 15. The iTunes Store doesn't have preorder for singles, but chooses to release them the day of airing (i.e. in less than two-and-a-half hours). Knowing what the songs are up a fortnight in advance can allow them to be added to episode pages or song lists. With season two singles, they will probably disappear by the time season three commences, so the references will all have to be replaced. Yves (talk) 02:39, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

So, we're agreed to keep both links? Or does Amazon give you a cut for all redirects? CoombaDelray (talk) 02:51, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

No, I do not want to keep both links. Having one is enough for referencing, and as explained before, the iTunes ones have disappeared in the past while the Amazon ones haven't. Plus, your disruption of Wikipedia to make a point makes me not want to have the iTunes reference. The Amazon reference is for verifiability, i.e. to show that singles actually were released in a digital format, and not some ludicrous advertising scheme. Yves (talk) 02:56, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Peeps... let's seek consensus here ASAP! An edit war is harming the article. CoombaDelray, consensus will be affected by your admission of "owning stock in Apple." Rcej (Robert) - talk 03:07, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't think whatever consensus CoombaDelray wants will be reached. (S)he seems to think the article is about advertisement when (s)he not only mentioned it in his(her) edit summary here, but also disrupted Wikipedia to make a point by calling Amazon.com songs "more expensive" in the same edit. (S)he has also violated the three-revert rule and has opted for a method of "leave a message here, then continue to add the same edit I want a minute later". Yves (talk) 03:15, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Who are you talking to? Anyway, my vagina and I agree that we can compromise on having both links. CoombaDelray (talk) 03:26, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't see the purpose of having both Amazon.com and the iTunes Store listed when iTunes Store URLs will eventually link rot and become inaccessible. Also, I don't think you've understood that the Amazon.com link is not there for the sake of linking to a retailer, but for verification. Yves (talk) 03:34, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Cheyenne?

You mean that girl from the first episode who transferred to Vocal Adrenaline?

That's exactly it. Vocal Adrenaline wasn't in Sectionals. =) CycloneGU (talk) 02:40, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

No, I mean Cheyenne Jackson (Dustin): he's one of my favourite Broadway actors, along with Cheno. Yeah, I was confused: promo pics from the episode showed he was in it and still do! Charice, on the other hand, whom I think you are referring to, will reappear in January. I wasn't expecting Vocal Adrenaline to appear since they are not New Directions' competitors at Sectionals, but Regionals, and they only appeared once in the first half of the first season, I think ("Rehab"). Yves (talk) 02:43, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Ah, must be Charice I thought you meant. CycloneGU (talk) 02:45, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Now that I've read his page, I get the idea now. Maybe he was in the audience purposely for Sectionals to scope the competition, but producers decided to cut his on-camera time for some reason to not start something with it before the holiday episode? Maybe he'll show up in that one, I dunno...CycloneGU (talk) 02:46, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Maybe, but I doubt it. I heard rumors of him being the Warblers' vocal coach in addition to Vocal Adrenaline's, but that not true because they have their Council, so they could have changed that. Maybe he was secretly in the audience, like Shelby claimed to be last season. Yves (talk) 02:52, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Well, you see that picture. He's talking to Will at the event. I'm sure he was present. CycloneGU (talk) 02:53, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Promotional pictures are taken exclusively for promotion, though; they don't necessarily reflect screenshots of the episodes. Another example is the picture with Schue and Gwyneth under the yellow umbrella with both of them looking down, which didn't happen. Yves (talk) 02:59, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Same with the second picture with the banner in the background, as well as the picture of the mini-glee club members with mini-Chord about to sit down. Yves (talk) 03:04, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Actually, Stamos was in the episode. After the scene where you see the "Ms. Emma Pillsbury-Howell" nameplate, you see them kissing in her office. Yves (talk) 04:43, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

		The Gleek Barnstar
		You deserve this for a million and one different things (all the great work you do keeping the discography and song list up to date, vandalism patrolling, keeping articles free of unsourced fluff amongst a multitude of other valued contributions) but in particular, this is for the work you've been doing lately at Glee: The Music, Journey to Regionals. I could hardly believe how much it had expanded - there was a time when I thought the EP articles would never amount to much of anything and even wondered if they should be merged into the episode articles, but you've really shown how much potential they have and done a fantastic job of it. Keep up the great work! Frickative 02:04, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Complaints

Please can you stop telling me that I am entering incorrect information when I am not. If you click on the fireflies link you will see that the song has sold over 600,000 copies in the UK. A platinum single in the UK is from 600,000 plus. Also more proof that I am not wrong is if you click on this link http://www.theofficialcharts.com/chart-news/take-that-marks-a-year-at-number-one/ its shows that FIreflies is the 4th biggest selling single of 2010 in the UK and I dont think that it would have made it there by only selling between 200,000-399,000 (silver certification) bearing in mind Rihanna has two songs certified Gold in this year and both of those are not in the top 5 biggest selling singles of the year.

Also for the Katy Perry discography i think that having the certifications in small and getting rid of some of the certifications from that page will make it more appealing and showing too many certifications makes it more over-powering so I think it would be best only showing the certifications of the main music countries such as Canada, US, UK and Australia. If the reader wants to know more then they can then click on the link of the album or single and then they can see the rest of the certifications and chart performances.

Regards (Dizzyneo (talk) 21:22, 7 December 2010 (UTC))

I'm have no intention of being rude to you at all, i'm not trying to have an argument either, I just always follow what I think is right but in this case I know I am right. You said that a single selling over 600,000 copies does not certify as platinum on the BPI page it states that Platinum certification = 600,000 sales. You seem to have ignored my point comparing Fireflies silver certification to Rihanna's Rude Boy Gold certification when in your case you seem to suggest that Fireflies is silver even though its in the the top 5 biggest singles of the year by sales. Radio 1 Official Chart uses its source information form the Official Charts company which counts the amount of sales of each single to get the top 40 albums and singles. Also Canada is a main music place as it is american which is where Katy Perry originates from meaning that it would make sense to show that. I have no intention of removing the chart performance of e.g Austria, I just meant having that amount of certifications seems a bit too much and overpowering and if it has that many and is going to stay that way then put the text in small to make it look more presentable and of course its easy to read or else they wouldn't other artists pages certifications in small if I think the Script discography is.

Speak Now World Tour

To address your concerns, WP:ITALIC does not say tour titles cannot be italicized. A concert tour can be considered an opera, musical, orchestral work or play (as they all appear on the list). MOS:BOLD does not mention anything for the use of "bold" in infobox. WP:NOTCRYSTAL actually speaks of creating articles or placing content into said articles. The phrase you mention pertains to dates stating "Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place. Dates are not definite until the event actually takes place. If preparation for the event is not already in progress, speculation about it must be well documented." Thus, using the phrase "upcoming" is within your editing opinion. In all, any Wikipedia editor will state that there is no "my way or the highway" guideline within editing an article. Yes, there are rules set in place for obvious reasons but many of the rules you mentioned do not justify for edits. If you would like that changed, then address those concerns on the MOS talk page. But do understand that for every "fact" you throw at any editor, there is another "fact" that can be used against your argument. It's good to follow the rules but at the same time, apply common sense. When you go on vacation, do you say "upcoming vacation" or when a woman is pregnant, does she say "upcoming baby" or "upcoming birth". Yes, nothing is a guaranteed but at the end of the day, it's a vacation, a baby, a concert tour—regardless of whether its past, present or future tense. At any expense, I don't wish to start a edit war with you on this matter so I cease and desist. You are free to leave your thoughts on my response but know that I have thrown in the towel and am walking away from this situation. Itsbydesign (talk) 10:52, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I had to tell the truth...why have a charting system unless it's able to be internationally recognized? In my homeland (Trinidad), our charting system is (seemingly) calculated only at a specific time of year for a specific genre of music, but it's published and available physically and online. Anyway, hopefully a user will buy the darn magazine and let us know where she charted. I'm genuinely curious to find out, but I don't go to my local Portuguese haunts...anyway, thanks. And yeah man, I am rounding up all my guy friends to help me make the journey because Lord knows buying a car as a female is for the birds!

Kanye West - Runaway (2010 film)

Are you kidding me? WP:SYNTH? You are way off base. The very second sentence of the article states that the film serves as the music video for the song "RUNAWAY." The song "RUNAWAY" ends with a vocoder solo, not auto-tune. This is part of the song that, as mentioned in this very article, is the song for which this film serves as a music video. It's the SONG... it's not video production. That is the song. The reference provided was merely courtesy to the wiki-police as evidence to anyone unfamiliar with common popular music production that it's a vocoder. This is practically common knowledge in the world of music production.

If you continue to edit, then you should be removing the entire mention of auto-tune, because that information is unequivocally false. Or, provide citation proving it's auto-tune. Not doing so reduces the value and integrity of the article and wikipedia itself.

Not to mention the fact that you undid an honest attempt to clean up a very poorly worded synopsis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ringo902 (talk • contribs) 22:36, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Well, I know for a fact that the technique is a vocoder and not auto-tune, but you have a reference that explicitly states it as auto-tune and I don't, so I guess I'll just have to leave it at that. It's misinformation, though, that's all I'm saying.

As for the grammar... You misunderstood me. I didn't say anything about grammar. I said punctuation. The entire article is poorly punctuated. You are incorrect about punctuation. Punctuation is ALWAYS included inside quotations, including song titles. Always always always. Okay, well, maybe in very rare circumstances are they not. Trust me, I have a bachelor's in English and a master's in writing. Are you British? If so, then that makes sense because there are more instances where punctuation can be outside the quote marks. But there were several quotations from people where the punctuation was outside of the quote marks and that is NEVER okay, except in British circumstances, in which case the whole article needs to be consistent. The entire article is inconsistent with its punctuation. Some places it's inside, some places it's outside. For example, in the "Background" section, the 5th sentence ends in incorrect punctuation but the 6th sentence ends in correct punctuation. I will change quotations from people so they are correct, but I'll leave the song titles alone. I disagree with you but this way, it will at least be consistent throughout.

Lastly, and I don't mean confrontational, but the quality of the writing in the synopsis could be greatly improved with some slightly different wording choices. And there are a few run-on sentences. I don't mean to offend at all. Some of the words are used incorrectly. For example, I think you mean "anguish" not "agony." Agony tends to imply physical pain, not emotional pain. I've reworded several sentences so that the language flows properly. Just trying to be helpful.

Oh wait! One more thing. I just noticed that you changed British back to English. Your reference specifically says "BRITISH" not "English." I'm confused. I thought you agreed with me? Do you know this accent to be English for certain? There are many different British accents, and Minaj's inflection is a mixture of accents, not explicitly English. There's a bit of Welsh in there. Welsh and English are both British, which is why the author of your reference chose the word British. Ringo902 (talk) 23:42, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Ah, okay. I misunderstood and didn't realized you changed the British/English reference. There's definitely no need to worry about plagiarizing. I just changed a few words to make the sentences flow better. That's what I do during my day job so it's always my inclination to look for better ways to reword sentences. You're absolutely right about the car crash... we don't know that for sure. That's why I changed one of the other sentences about the dinner guests, because they only appear to be making negative comments... we don't actually hear them making negative comments, unless you count that small "Do you know she's a bird" dialogue between West and the man next to him. Just made a quick fix to the car crash line. I think it reads better now. Sorry to be a pain! Ringo902 (talk) 15:06, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
