One more week at No. 1?

The article currently has "breaking the all-time record for most weeks at number 1 by an Australian artist in Australia on 5 October 2019." Not to diminish the excellence chart performance of this single, the statement refers to the ARIA Charts singles but does not refer to any previous Australian charts. Specifically, it equals but does not break the then-record of 10 weeks set on 30 August 1971 by "Eagle Rock", which was released by Australian artists, Daddy Cool in May of that year. Her single needs to remain at No. 1 for one more week to justify the "all-time" record.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:05, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

She's done it: now has 11 weeks at number-one. The single is also the equal longest run at number-one on the ARIA Singles Chart by any solo female artist.

As from 16 November 2019, "Dance Monkey" has 16 consecutive weeks at number one – the longest stay at the top of any Australian singles chart for any artist. According to ARIA representative, "She has also topped the charts in 18 countries, including a record-breaking run by an Australian artist in the UK."shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:41, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

As specified above, the ARIA Chart is only from 1983-present. Earlier data from the 1940s-present is still valid. Peterschinkel (talk) 12:52, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Birthday

Source for birthday: Facebook. There are plenty more references to her birthday on her Facebook page. For example, in 2011 she is congratulated for her 18th birthday. Clausule (talk) 22:30, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

How do we get Wikipedia to delete her year 2000 birthdate on the initial knowledge panel that comes up from a Google search? Peterschinkel (talk) 07:55, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

At the bottom of the panel is the word 'Feedback'. Click it and edit it. I've already done this; let's see how long it takes them.--Launchballer 11:08, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi Launchballer. I also did this yesterday. Hopefully they'll pick up on it because some media reports around the world still saying she's 19. Peterschinkel (talk) 12:10, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 26 November 2019

I think she was born in 2000, not 1993. Source is her official page. 2001:4BB8:18C:3472:144D:9B9F:5D4E:D0B8 (talk) 00:18, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Her official page is not a reliable source. - FlightTime (open channel) 00:21, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Her manager supposedly confirmed to a newspaper she's in her mid 20s and her friends wished her a happy 22nd birthday on Instagram on 13th May 2015. Also, on YouTube, check "Toni Watson" singing "I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker With Flowers In My Hair" in 2009. She was almost certainly more than 9 years old in that video.

Birthday, birthdate and US charting

> There is no clear evidence what year she was born

> There is no clear evidence what her birth date is - August, May, what next?

I propose you get rid of her birthday until it is established 100% what it is.

> She is number 19 on the Billboard Top 100 of the United States of America, https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100

> There is absolutely no evidence or confirmation regarding Tones' birth date and age, thus the information should be removed entirely so that the edit wars cease. I have personally heard rumours that reps have confirmed mid-twenties, and that she was congratulated on turning 18 in 2011, but absolutely no real proof that she is 19. I agree with the above, her age and birth date should be removed until confirmation is received. Kahliimah (talk) 07:11, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

I also agree with birthdate removal. And a small paragraph has been added about the speculation which will hopefully stop the edit wars. None of us should add content we do not know is definitely true. Peterschinkel (talk) 12:17, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Age

Age confirmed by reputable news source

The Daily Mail is not a reputable source and is the only site I have come across so far that Wikipedia will actually warn you about this before you can publish any edit with it as a citation. CAMERAwMUSTACHE (talk) 20:36, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Please familiarise yourself with WP:RSP.--Launchballer 20:49, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

What is annoying is that wikipedia currently states two things about her birthdate and age. IMO as long as there is no reliable source, it should be marked as not known rather than have wkipedia speculate on it. Or someone simply ask her in an interview, to clear this up - I am pretty sure she would tell the truth when asked. It's not as if it is a mystic secret? The only place where people wonder is wikipedia. 2A02:8388:1641:8380:3AD5:47FF:FE18:CC7F (talk) 02:59, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Incorrect chart positions

Hi all. Someone (can provide username) keeps incorrectly changing chart positions reached by Tones and I, particularly "Johnny Run Away" and "Never Seen The Rain" Is there a procedure for discouraging regular vandalism? Peterschinkel (talk) 12:49, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Much editing is continuing to put false chart positions on Tones' singles. Peterschinkel (talk) 23:10, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Middle name?

According to article history, here, the artist's middle name first appeared in late December 2019. There was no reference supplied. An APRA AMCOS search provides Toni Watson (no middle name) for "Colourblind" see here and same for Search again (for any self-written tracks) with artist as either Tones and I or Toni Watson: no middle name. A similar search at BMI Repertoire, here, also gives no middle name. I will delete the middle name and ask for a better source to be supplied prior to its re-insertion.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:48, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

I agree. Peterschinkel (talk) 12:02, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
