Drake - Too Much

Sampha is not a featured artist on the song. The vocals are sampled from a Sampha song — Preceding unsigned comment added by Y.M.O.E.2 (talk • contribs) 22:01, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Look at the source cited for the single release on the Too Much (Drake song) page, Sampha is credited as a featured artist on there and on the single cover. STATic message me! 00:28, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

That's not an official artwork, and regardless there is not a more valid source for this than the album booklet where it clearly explains that the song samples Sampha - Too Much and does not bill him as a feature artist, all the other songs with features have them listed, Too Much is a solo song. It should be changed in the album page along with the discography. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Y.M.O.E.2 (talk • contribs) 03:47, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

The artwork was taken from the official website for the biggest radio station network in the United Kingdom, so I am guessing it is official. A single credit differs sometimes from album credits, but I will change it on the album page. STATic message me! 04:27, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Single credits may differ occasionally, but that is when it is re-released or remixed, and neither is the case for Too Much. Also what goes recorded as the charting single is what is officially released by the label, with Too Much not featuring Sampha . This can change (example, Wale - Bad added Rihanna after an official remix was released) but for Too Much, it never was changed because the song does not actually feature Sampha and was never re-released to change the credits, only a sample was credited. The artwork just does not seem very official either, it can't be found anywhere other than BBC radio and even then no larger than 160x160. If a major artist would release an official artwork, it would be available throughout the internet on blogs and such. Also, Sampha does not register in soundscan databases for sales

I just feel it should be changed, so much outweighs one UK radio site reporting it as featuring Sampha. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Y.M.O.E.2 (talk • contribs) 21:47, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

You realize that site is the official radio release site for the entire United Kingdom right? There is not a radio station every little town like in the United States. There a little bit more reliable than blogs. The single credits Sampa but the album does not, that is why it charted in the US just with Drake credited. Artists are credited only on the album or only on the song rarely, but it does occur and I could name many examples. STATic message me! 22:19, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

I understand what BBC radio is, I'm not discrediting them as a source but the artwork is not official and I'm not sure A UK radio station crediting a UK artist as a feature overrules worldwide Soundscan information, billboard, label releases and the album booklet. Theres not even additional vocals listed, its just a sample of Sampha - Too Much. If it was a feature in anyway, it would register in the soundscan database and be credited. And it doesn't, there is no feature. Whether BBC radio wants to credit him or not, that doesn't mean he's a featured artist — Preceding unsigned comment added by Y.M.O.E.2 (talk • contribs) 01:27, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

So if it is not official, what forum or blog did the cover originate from? BBC Radio does not use fan-made covers, if there is no cover they use the album cover, as they did for "Pound Cake". Discrediting them with your own original research is not going to work. As I already explained those sources are mimicking the album credits, single credits can differ. Also sample singers are frequently credited as featured artists, like how Dido is credited on Eminem's "Stan". BBC is not providing favoritism because he is an English artist, I am not sure where you are getting these assumptions from. All the sources you mentioned are refering to the song as a part of the album, not as a single. STATic message me! 01:40, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Again, Radio 1 does not determine whether an artist is featured or not. Clear Channel Communications' playlist lists Drake as a featured artist on "Versace" but he is not credited on the single . This is the same situation

The label determines what song info is submitted to soundscan and Mediabase. Mediabase does not refer to it as part of an album, it refers to it as a single song and tracks it as that from there on out and Sampha is not listed. The argument using Stan is what I'm basically trying to say. Yes its a well known and prominent sample, but Dido is credited as a featured artist on the song. . If Sampha was ever intended to be listed as a feature he would've officially been listed so in the albums booklet.

The only thing I'm assuming is that the artwork isn't official. It just seems very questionable too me and I wouldn't hold my basis on that at all, because I'm not sure where the artwork is from. All of the other artworks for singles have been uploaded in high quality either on Drake's blog site or his soundcloud . Too base whether an artist is featured or not on a low quality 160x160 artwork that is nowhere on the internet other than the one site doesn't seem correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Y.M.O.E.2 (talk • contribs) 07:15, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Again you are missing the point, the song charted in the United States as the album track, not as a single, and Sampha is credited on the single version, which was just recently released, after "Too Much" ceased is US chart activity. And I feel like I am repeating myself, sometimes samples are credited as featured artists, and sometimes the featuring credits are not exactly the same as they are for the single as they are for the album. The last point is just frankly not true, and we base our content on reliable sources, not primary sources and your original research.STATic message me! 01:24, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, you were credited as "John "SK" McGee" in the liner notes, and that is what we go by in album tracklists, rather then the common name or regular stylization of their name. STATic message me! 04:50, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Forbidden Fruit (song)

Hi. It is not appropriate to speedy delete this disambiguation page. There are several songs called "Forbidden Fruit", and so they are all listed on this page. The J. Cole song needs a disambiguated title. -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:43, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

So you should have not the moved the page at all, I am sure you must know that you cannot just move a page yourself while there is a requested move currently on going, at the point of your moving consensus was split, not even in favor of moving. @BDD:, you were involved in the RM discussion, could you move the page back to the original title until the discussion is closed?

Pop artists frequently appear on the chart many weeks in a row, until I see that independent third party reliable sources outside of Billboard covering it as something significant, then the content does not need to be included. And that is enough sourcing, go ahead and add it to the discography or the article prose, as that place in the main article is for studio albums or major works.STATic message me! 00:49, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

We need to talk.

Please actually read this before you flag me again. The other day, I asked you firmly, but with no disrespect, to not bother me about these things. I did not have my facts straight, and I was wrong. Okay, I admit that. But the problem I have now, is that you just sent me a message saying I was harassing you, and that is not true. I'm wondering if you have some sort of problem with me, and I don't know why you would because you don't even know me, but it kind of seems that way. I was not harassing you at all, and I'm not harassing you now. I was just talking to you as an adult. That's how you want to be treated right? You're not a kid, so I'm not going to talk to you like one. I don't appreciate you leaving those threats in my messages saying you're going to block me from editing when I didn't even harass you. If you don't want me to do that kind of editing anymore, then I won't. If it's the fact that I even objected about it to begin with that bothered you, then you could have just told me. You didn't have to send me a warning like that. I just want you to acknowledge why I'm talking to you now. With all due respect I don't believe that was harassment at all. I wasn't even profane last time I spoke with you. Please keep those things in mind, okay? I'll adhere to the rules from now on, just as you will I'm sure, and let's move on. If you want to say anything, feel free to write me back. Thank you. --Eddster (talk) 16:46, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Non-defamatory - the statements are true, independently-researched by a paper of record (Chicago Sun Times), and reference public records and court documents.

Neutral - facts are stated dispassionately, without opinion or bias.

Damon Albarn

Well, you know you could have let me finish up editing the pages...I was just about to cite the sources for the genres.

Damon Albarn alongside Richard Russel of XL Recordings had produced Bobby Womack's lastest solo LP record called The Bravest Man in the Universe, which was an R&B and Neo-Soul album. Damon Albarn is also working on a solo record with a sound that he himself has described as a "folk-soul" record, combining elements of both folk music and soul music. A trailer was released for his new solo record with a snippet of a song that has an R&B and Neo-Soul atmosphere to it. Rocketjuice and The Moon is a funk supergroup that Damon Albarn had formed with Flea from Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Tony Allen, a longtime associate of afrobeat musician Fela Kuti.

Damon Albarn has also composed and written the folk soundtrack for an Opera called Dr Dee. Damon Albarn had also composed the music for a stage play called Monkey: Journey To The West, which was also an opera that used Electronic music as the main influence for the music. Mali Music, DRC Music, and Africa Express are all world music collectives formed by Damon Albarn that were recorded with African musicians in the African language, making them world music records.

Not only is Alternative Hip-Hop very prevalent throughout Gorillaz records, but Gorillaz' self-titled debut album was a Trip-hop album at heart due to all of the genre bending, and the sophomore album, Demon Days mixed Alternative Hip-Hop and Alternative Rock with elements of trip-hop in it as well, with their third album Plastic Beach mixing electronic music with as alternative hip-hop, which leaves The Fall being much like Gorillaz self-titled album in terms of how prevalent elements of trip-hop are, especially when compared to the other two records.

Who's to say Damon Albarn's first become popular, Blur aren't a Britpop group? Oasis had a (now resolved) rivalry with Blur during the 90s in a battle that was known by most as "The Battle of Britpop". Sure, after Blur's Self-titled album, was a departure from their britpop sound, but Leisure, Modern Life is Rubbish, Parklife, and [[The Great Escape were Britpop at heart. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheCyberToon3000 (talk • contribs) 20:23, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

whn he spoke on the title he said when all else fails he's gonna make that paper work. those are two separate words just thank me when the album drops. love this life was not the fist single and shouldn't be labeled as such. go get it came out first but ball is the lead single off trouble man. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaymo198230 (talk • contribs) 15:25, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

FAC comment?

Hi. Would you be interested in voicing your support (or oppose/comment) at the FAC page for the article Of Human Feelings? I've gotten supports, but an FAC delegate noted that comments should include mentions as to how the article fits FAC criteria.

Personal Attack

Just wanting to let you know, I saw your edit summary with this edit regarding the revert of IndianBio's invalid warning. You have said that "I warn you for a personal attack" in your edit summary, and later on said "Someones mommy did not get them what they wanted?" This insult also counts as a personal attack, so please don't be a hypocrite. However, if you think I made a mistake, or if there is something that I don't know, please reply to this message ASAP. Thanks. TheTriple M 18:53, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

@The Triple M: Calling someone a "dick", telling them to "get lost" and vandalizing someones talk page when they warned you for a personal attack and disruptive genre warring, seems exponential worse to me. I probably should not have put that last part and I did sort of regret pressing enter after, but its not like I could go back and change it. But this is not the first time he/she misused the warning template on my talk page, just because someone reverts you, does not mean you can slap a edit warring warning on their talk page. STATic message me! 20:37, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Justin Bieber - Journals - Writer Credit

You keep undoing a revision to the writers credits for the Justin Beiber Track "Memphis" off of Journals. The track produced by Diplo is missing the co-production/writing credit to Djemba Djemba|Andrew Swanson.

Wizkid

Hi Static, I need your input. A newly registered user made an edit to Wizkid's article changing the years active from 2001-present to 2010-present. The edit is currently pending because of the protection lock on the page. Wizkid released his first commercial song in 2010 but recorded with M.I, Banky W., and Naeto C in 2009. He also released a non commercial album titled Lil Prinz in 2001 when he was 11. Should the years active be kept to 2001-present (keeping in mind Lil Prinz) or should it be changed to 2009 (the time he started collaborating with the aforementioned artists) - present? versace1608 (talk) 02:23, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

I changed it back. Generally the "years active" should begin whenever their first recorded project/song is released, whether it be a mainstream commercial release or underground release. As far as I can tell he should be definitely listed with 2001 as his "debut year" per say. STATic message me! 04:10, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

What possessed you to delete the page? Please respond with a logical answer. Thanks. Urbaninformative (talk) 22:30, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

@Urbaninformative: I did not delete the page. It was created earlier this year and it was deleted via a deletion discussion. The current article did not satisfy the reasons for deletion in the past discussion, so no article can be created until the subject meets WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. Sorry but unsourced claims about helping start a yet to be notable record label and a few minor jobs as an extra do not really indicate the notability needed for a Wikipedia article.

Welcome to the 2014 WikiCup!

Hello STATicVapor, and welcome to the 2014 WikiCup! Your submission page can be found here. The competition will begin at midnight tonight (UTC). There have been a few small changes from last year; the rules can be read in full at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, and the page also includes a summary of changes. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work, and nominated, in 2014 is eligible for points in the competition- the judges will be checking! As ever, this year's competition includes some younger editors. If you are a younger editor, you are certainly welcome, but we have written an advice page at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Advice for younger editors for you. Please do take a look. Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck!

Rap God - by Eminem

I am the one that is saying that there is brief clips of some of Gustave Doré's works shown in this music video. I have found another Wikipedia source that claims the video shows a clip of Arachne, here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachne#In_popular_culture . In the video it is clearly apparent that the image of Arachne along with the other images are the work of the famous Gustave Doré. I was also wondering why you felt the need to remove this post which is in fact true(without a "formal" citation) while the preceding sentence "There are also references to The Matrix, The Walking Dead, Hellraiser..." is not cited but left in the article. I was also wondering if it is possible to leave the edit I put in originally without a citation or to use the actual video as a citation, because if anyone were to do any actual research one would be able to easily see these are the works of Doré as they are very famous engravings and the artist had a very unique and easily identifiable body of work upon viewing said video. Let me know if this is possible or if a citation can be made, as I think it is important that viewers of the video be able to find out what images are in actual use as the scenes depicted show scenes taken from the Divine Comedy are in use because of the title and references to Eminem being a "Rap God" and give more clarity to video as a whole and why these images are in the production. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephensjz (talk • contribs) 01:36, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Just cite a reliable source for the content addition to establish that it is not only in the video, but also notable for inclusion in the article. If it was significant that he used images by Gustave Doré then certainly reliable sources would have picked it up, as they have with the Hellraiser and The Matrix references, they used to be sourced by I am not sure what happened.

Speedy deletion declined: The Headies

Hello STATicVapor. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of The Headies, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Thank you. Shirt58 (talk) 02:23, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Shirt58, I think Static has a point. I personally don't like when newly registered (or IP) editors get lazy. I really think people should try their best when it comes to creating articles. The Headies itself is notable. There are tons of references online. I don't understand why some people don't do things right.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Versace1908 (talk • contribs)

Do not remove properly sourced sales from the table. It is absolutely fine to have SoundScan sales in the article although an album might not be certified. —Indian:BIO · ^{[ ChitChat ]} 20:54, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

What is the name of the section? If there has been no certification in that country there is no reason at all to repeat its sales, when they are found more than once in the article already. STATic message me! 20:55, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

I know perfectly well the name of the section. It is fine to have its sales listed and has been the norm in amny articles throughout the encyclopedia. Just because you do not prefer it does not mean it should be removed. If you want to set a precedence, please raise a discussion in the talk page. You know how it works. —Indian:BIO · ^{[ ChitChat ]} 20:57, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

You are the one that introduced it and two editors have removed it. Per WP:BRD it is on you to take it to the talk page. Where have countries that have not certified the album ever been included in a certification table? That just makes zero sense and it is not the norm at all no matter how much you want to pretend. Also, violate WP:NPA again and see how quick you finally get blocked for all your disruption. STATic message me! 21:02, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

You and a new user does not register anything for BRD to me.

If anyone, even an IP reverts you, you consult WP:BRD, especially if two autoconfirmed users disagree with your edit, you discuss your controversial changes already.

You did notice that this user has been deleting content and adding unsourced content throughout his/her lifespan without any compliance to the encyclopedia? I would hardly take into account a removal by such a user,and that too without an edit summary. The perfect example of disruption in this case I believe. Coming to your reversion, I do not consider you disruptive whatever you think of mine though. I just feel you unnecessarily target my edits without trying to see why they were done in the first place. WP:WAX is not an argument that I am making, I'm well aware of that piece of little angel. The {{Certification Table Entry}} template specifically mentions these cases with the nocert=yes parameter for "if no certification is to be displayed. This can be used to specify sales figured from other sources". Hope it is clear to you? —Indian:BIO · ^{[ ChitChat ]} 21:26, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
