Well done on expanding [[The Secret of the Nagas]]. Excellent work. I've reviewed the DYK nomination at [[Template:Did you know nominations/The Secret of the Nagas]] and it passes in all respects ''expect'' maybe it is not the most interesting DYK hook ever. I don't know if there's something you can do about that? It may well get used anyway, but... best wishes --[[User:Tagishsimon|Tagishsimon]] [[User_talk:Tagishsimon|(talk)]] 23:23, 7 September 2011 (UTC) |

Hi Legolas I was wondering if you have a help article that would tell me what things do. Eg. " | [[. Things like that. I want to try and fix up an Australian Singles chart to make it appear like the Billboard Hot 100 so it is easier to read but I think I need more knowledge to do this. If you could post it here or on my talk page that would be great. Thank You :) [[User:Muthamonster|Muthamonster]] ([[User talk:Muthamonster|talk]]) 01:06, 8 September 2011 (UTC) |

Hi all!!! This is Legolas and welcome to my talk page.

ShockedAvi. Is Barayatuda a sock of Blue? :( I am honestly so upset. Barayatuda has been nasty and edit-warring with me for months. I knew something was fishy. His edits were always aimed at reverting or joining discussions (remember, I too was once a sock-master). He was always impossible to work with and very mean and rude to me; I had many issues with him. Then on the other hand you have Blue acting like a friend while his sock goes and insults us and acts like total crap to me. You know, he lost all my respect and more. One thing is to use a sock to sway a discussion, but to be mean and nasty to you're friends. I'm baffled :'(--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 21:02, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
Where is this coming from"Donot hardcode the pixels of music video images", I've seen a couple cases of this lately; users removing the sizing claiming MOS. Nowhere in MOS:IMAGES#Images, Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(layout)#Images or Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(accessibility)#Images is there any text stating that resizing images should not be done; we have this option for a reason so images are not incredibly huge or small; the only actual rule is what size you should not cross. So I'm wondering if there is a rule somewhere that I'm missing since you've started implementing it too. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 06:43, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Grammy FLCHi Legolas. Since you have reviewed Grammy lists in the past, is there a chance you might be able to review this Grammy list currently at FLC? I'd be much appreciated--the list needs reviews badly. --Another Believer (Talk) 14:41, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
Still BreathlessI've answered you above. Well? Alecsdaniel (talk) 22:26, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
QHello! Hope you're doing well. I have a question. If I asked the owner of this image if they could allow its use on Wiki and they do, can I use it? The pic of MC in it is from the Tour edition of Charmbracelet and its a tour notice/poster. Is it free or does it contain non-free items? Novice7 (talk) 11:17, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
Q2What kind of sources do you need? All the reviews of the album criticise the fact that the songs were remixed in Q Sound [or even more], you have the sources all over the article. What more do you need?Alecsdaniel (talk) 22:10, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
WikiCup 2011 July newsletterThe finals are upon us; we're down to the last few. One of the eight remaining contestants will be this year's WikiCup champion! 150 was the score needed to progress to the final; just under double the 76 required to reach round 4, and more than triple the 41 required to reach round 3. Our eight finalists are:
We say goodbye to our seven other semi-finalists, Another Believer (submissions), Piotrus (submissions), Grandiose (submissions), Stone (submissions), Eisfbnore (submissions), Canada Hky (submissions) and MuZemike (submissions). Everyone still in the competition at this stage has done fantastically well, and contributed greatly to Wikipedia. We're on the home straight now, and we will know our winner in two months. In other news, preparations for next year's competition have begun with a brainstorming thread. Please, feel free to drop by and share any thoughts you have about how the competition should work next year. Sign ups are not yet open, but will be opened in due course. Watch this space. Further, there has been a discussion about the rule whereby those in the WikiCup must delcare their participation when nominating articles at featured article candidates. This has resulted in a bot being created by new featured article delegate Ucucha (talk · contribs). The bot will leave a message on FAC pages if the nominator is a participant in the WikiCup. A reminder of the rules: any points scored after August 29 may be claimed for the final round, and please remember to update submission pages promptly. If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

W.EHello. I have asked for a third opinion regarding the dispute at W.E (film) that you have been involved in. The listing can be found here. Hopefully the dispute can be resolved according to policy by a non-biased third party. Jsayre64 (talk) 17:11, 2 September 2011 (UTC) 3RR reportHello Legolas2186. You are mentioned in a 3RR report at WP:AN3#User:Legolas2186 reported by User:ItsZippy (Result: Protected, warnings), which is now closed. I am puzzled by all the blanking by IPs, and notice you use fairly strong language on the article talk page. I have applied three days of protection, which can be lifted if the editors on the talk page agree that it's not needed. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 02:44, 3 September 2011 (UTC) Hi! Are you satisfied with my changes? Theleftorium (talk) 09:49, 3 September 2011 (UTC) Love on Top and 1+1I have no idea how to add the information on the page for LOT. Can you help? Would you have time to copy-edit "1+1"? Nathan asked for it in the GAN. Jivesh • Talk2Me 05:19, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
Born This Way lead paragraph re-vampHi, I was just thinking that the Born This Way lead paragraph needs a re-vamp, as there are a few problems within it, such as consistency, amount of info, etc. This was my version. Would you mind telling me if you think it's worthy to be put into the actual article or if the current one is better? (Some content is copied from the current revision of the Born This Way page [1]).
Born This Way is the second studio album by American recording artist Lady Gaga. It was released on May 23, 2011 by Interscope Records as a follow up to her internationally successful debut, The Fame (2008) and the extended play The Fame Monster (2009). Gaga wrote or co-wrote all the songs, as well as being the co-producer of every track in the album. In Born This Way, Gaga collaborated with numerous producers, such as DJ Snake, DJ White Shadow, Jeppe Laursen, RedOne, Fernando Garibay, Robert John "Mutt" Lange and Clinton Sparks; RedOne and Ferdinando Garibay were the only producers with whom Gaga had previously collaborated. Gaga collaborated artists such as The E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons and Queen guitarist Brian May on tracks from the album. Production first took place in early 2010 and recording sessions at various recording studios around the world. The title was revealed by Gaga in September at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards after her win of the Video of the Year Award for "Bad Romance". A week before the album's scheduled release, the contents were leaked online, but were shortly removed due to copyright violations. The music of Born This Way is rooted in the synthpop, electropop and dance-pop-oriented styles of her previous releases, The Fame and The Fame Monster, yet, also incorprates a broader range of elements of several musical genres such as opera, heavy metal, disco, and rock and roll. The album also draws inspiration from the pop, rock and electronic music of the 1980s and 1990s, as well as recording artists such as Madonna, Bruce Springsteen and Whitney Houston. Lyrically, the album is a departure from her previous work, which focused on fame, wealth and romance, concentrating mainly on social issues, most notably sexuality, religion and feminism. The album received generally positive reception from music critics; Gaga's vocals were praised, and reviewers applauded the album's varying musical styles, production, as well as the social issues raised from the songs. Despite this, some critics deemed the album's musical material to be unoriginal. Born This Way was also criticized by several religious commentators and organizations, who expressed discontent towards its numerous references to Christian figures and themes, as well as its supportive stance on sexuality. Similar to being critically acclaimed, the album was also an international success, topping the charts in over twenty-three countries including the Billboard 200 in the United States and the UK Album Charts. In the US, the album sold over 1.11 million copies in its first week, the largest first-week album sales in over six years. An estimated 440,000 of these sales were at a special price of 99 cents, which Amazon.com offered for two days during the album's first week of release. As of June 2011, Born This Way has sold 5 million copies worldwide. Three singles and one promotional single were released for the album. "Born This Way", the lead single, topped the charts in over eighteen countries including the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. It would become the fastest selling single in iTunes history, having sold over one million copies within its first five days. "Judas" was the second single for Born This Way. The song peaked on the top ten in nineteen countries. "The Edge of Glory", originally released as one of two proposed promotional singles, was made as the third single of the album. The song debuted at number three on the Hot 100 and topped the charts in South Korea. Yoü and I was later released as the album's fourth single. The promotional single for the album, "Hair", peaked at number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100 and charted in sixteen different countries.

Hello Legolas, ItsAlwaysLupus left me a message concerning Born This Way (song) and the use of the Oricon charts in the article. I have to admit that I'm out of my comfort zone here, but ItsAlwaysLupus pointed out that Oricon is on the list of recommended charts at WP:GOODCHARTS. I think I understand why it's being excluded based on your edit summaries, but I was wondering if that's a consensus that's been established somewhere? ItsAlwaysLupus feels intimidated by you, so I'd appreciate if you replied directly to me instead of ItsAlwaysLupus. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 21:39, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
BillboardSorry to bother you, but do you know anyone that has the Fred Bronson Billboard Book of Number 1 Hits', the 2003 issue. I am trying to get as much information on; "Genie in a Bottle", "What a Girl Wants", and "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)". Thanks in advance --FeuDeJoie (talk) 13:48, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
Radar/Unusual YouHey Lego, could you comment here? Thanks, Xwomanizerx (talk) 17:27, 5 September 2011 (UTC) Not AfraidHello, Legolas. I am working to expand the Not Afraid article and have prepared a sandbox at User:Wikipedian Penguin/draft. Whenever you are free, could you do a copy-edit of the prose in the article? If I must, yes, I can wait. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 22:13, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
W.ERegarding W.E (film), I have the article on my watchlist due to the IP sock. However, regarding Kate Muir's review, the reference says, "The first notices are in... and most of them are not kind, to put it mildly. Kate Muir of our sister paper, The Times of London, reports that her romantic historical fantasy about the 'misunderstood' (as she put it at her press conference), Nazi-loving Duke and Dutchess of Windsor is 'screamingly, inadverdently funny in parts.'" The Wikipedia article says Muir "complimented some of the funny scenes of the film", but I think "complimented" is inaccurate in light of the context. The inadvertence needs to be more clear. What do you think? Erik (talk | contribs) 16:04, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
