Welcome
Hello, Samu204c, and welcome to the English-language Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far; I do appreciate them, and I hope you like it here! Here are a few important links for newcomers to this version of the encyclopedia, which I think will explain more about our standards here:
Wikipedia:Reliable sources, Wikipedia:CITE, WP:V and WP:NPOV
How to edit a page; How to develop articles; Editing tutorial
Manual of Style; Writing better articles
The five pillars of Wikipedia
Editing by consensus – working well with other Wikipedians
If you'd like some help with editing or otherwise, you can sign up at the new users log, post a question at the Help Desk, or ask me on my talk page.
Please sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. It is a good idea to read the most recent entries at the bottom of the Talk page of an existing article before making major changes to it, to see if your proposed change has been discussed before. Before I make a major change to an article, I often make a proposal on the Talk page to see if anyone minds.
Again, welcome! -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:32, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
Dear Samu, Please join the Talk page at Sia (musician) if you want to discuss what you are trying to do. The references you added are mostly poor-quality references (and inadequately cited, lacking author names, dates, and publisher names). Acid jazz is already linked earlier in the article. The lyrics (or theme) for each album don't belong in this section. They belong in the descriptions of the albums above. -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:05, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you for the comments, but please post to Sia's Talk page, not to mine, so that everyone can see what's going on. Note, however, that the 130 million figure is not encyclopedic, unless there is a high-quality music source, like Rolling Stone, that says it is particularly significant. You will see that no WP:Featured articles about singers attempt to add up singles sales to make a total, because it is not encyclopedic information. Longer is not better. Please see WP:NOT. -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:30, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Ssilvers: Yes, I think it's true, but look that. On that page the references are similar. However, indeed, the "certified" references are flanked by others such as Rolling Stones and other similar sources, so you're right. However, I would like to point out that, according to Wiki-Ita guidelines, that information is considered valid and for this reason it is on Wiki-Ita. --Samu204c (talk) 23:43, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
- I understand. I want to make sure, however, that all the new information that gets added to the Sia article is of the highest quality, concise, well-written, well-referenced and well-organized. I also agree with you that we could probably add some discussion of Sia as a lyricist, but we need to cite recognized, respected critics who discuss it. Also, note that En Wikipedia already has articles about each of Sia's albums, and the more detailed information about those should go in the articles about the specific albums -- only the most important summary information should go in Sia's "main" article. See what I mean? All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:53, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
I replied to your message on my talk page. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:41, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
