Fly Like a Bird

Hi Calvin. I actually had no idea, but it turns out I too am working on "Fly Like a Bird". Your work is good, but I have a lot of extra information and additions to make, so please remove it from peer review and don't nominate it for anything until I'm done. I should finish by tomorrow. If you'd like, as things turned out, we can share the GA nomination and both co-nom.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 17:58, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I am finishing the article as we speak. Have patience.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 18:14, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lol. Don't worry. Everyone gets answered and all gets done all in due time :) BTW, the current composition section of "FLAB" looks familiar :P--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 18:16, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I do :) I',m not Legolas :P--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 18:25, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the TEOM page has a source for that performance. As it turns out, I believe in my bookmarks I do have sources for all the live performances, as well as reception towards them.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 18:41, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lol. The X Factor cover is there :) Look lower down the page :P BTW, FLAB is nominated and done!--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 20:41, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not the Burke cover, but the finalists one. Hmmm, I don't think so. Feel free to add it :)--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 20:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry, I mean I feel bad because you did do something. I guess you'll just tag along for the ride :)

And that is? Let me guess. The vocal range lol.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 21:11, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lol. Do you play the piano? or some instrument? BTW, seeing as you like vocals, why are you a fan of Rihanna? I like some of her beats and songs, but her voice is just, atrocious :S--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 00:26, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Hi Calvin! Congrats on your first GA! :) I can see that you've been to Whitney Houston's Nothin' but Love Tour. Did you take any photos?? Also, I don't know if you have heard it, but can you tell me about the key (?) shift towards the end of Houston's song "How Will I Know"?? I hardly know anything about music lol. I usually ask Legolas, Adabow or Candy for help :) Novice7 (talk) 14:13, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I know it was boring :( I know your youtube account Calvin and have watched your vids :P The Beyonce one is very cool! You're really great. Well, by key shift I meant the thing that occurs at 3:20 in this video. Can you help me?? What do you call that thing lol? Novice7 (talk) 14:27, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I knew :D Thanks for the info, yes, I'm talking about her voice. As for "OG(ITW)", no problem :) Novice7 (talk) 04:35, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation :) Thanks heaps! Novice7 (talk) 10:48, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

By tomorrow. I have to read the whole article today lol. Btw, you can start a Background and release section for the article, I think. I found a few sources as you can see :D Keep up the good work here and on youtube ;) Novice7 (talk) 15:15, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Google lol :D I searched "Rihanna Only Girl Stargate" and the Vibe.com link came up. Similarly, "Rihanna Only Girl release" and the nydailynews.com link came up :) Novice7 (talk) 04:28, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
	I see you everyday trying to improve Rihanna's articles here, some way or another,. Even faced with harsh criticism, you have not lost hope and still continue to learn, and grow as an editor. Hence I present this barnstar for your tireless efforts here in Wikipedia — Legolas ^(talk2me) 16:01, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah thanks! I've wanted one of these for ages! lol. Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹ 20:49, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No problem with the barnstar. Along with it I just wanted to tell you about the different articles you have put up for PR. The peer review page is backlogged too much, and when you add too many articles per the same nominator, it just increases the load. Result is that most of the time you get a half-assed review as the general reviewers are too busy to go through all the articles. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 15:37, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry, you just have to wait for them to become GA. I would have loved to give you opinions like I helped with "S&M", but I have somehow become a tad bit busy these days. You can take a look at WP:FA into the song articles, most recent promotion being "4 Minutes", that was my work. As for PR, I think even you can help by reviewing some of the articles. I generally choose articles about subjects which I'm not aware of at all. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 15:46, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, no need to panic. Well, you would want to start at some stage I believe? PS, Peer reviews and GA reviews are a great way to increase your wiki-knowledge. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 15:54, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Of course I'm not against the idea. Please go ahead. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 10:28, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review Calvin. I'm having my physiotherapy now so will address the comments after an hour. I don't know whether you are aware, I have my left hand and left leg fractured in an accident, and need physiotherapy everyday. Sucks big time man! — Legolas ^(talk2me) 12:35, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing Y&I also, I'm starting with MTN reviews. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 14:14, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NP, and MTN is done. :) — Legolas ^(talk2me) 14:25, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Calvin the talk page template needs to be changed to {{GA}} — Legolas ^(talk2me) 14:40, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, dont worry I will take care of the rest. Dont forget to add it to your user page :) — Legolas ^(talk2me) 14:42, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ya I saw it. Goody. PS, do you stay in London? Where in London? I will probably visit there in September for work. I'm joining work from August and expecting significant decrease in wiki activity. I generally stay near Charring cross there. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 14:46, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(outdent) No dear, only for a month, my work takes me to many places. I did not expect that they would send me to London so fast, but well, lucks there. Where exactly? I travel forth between London and Edinburgh. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 14:54, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know Stansted, I went there to pick up a client once. I travel through Heathrow always though. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 14:57, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh thats cool. If I go there I'll holler atcha! :P — Legolas ^(talk2me) 15:05, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a programmer analyst, dealing with coding and setting up back-end systems for banks and providing them with a secure way for on-line and batch transactions. I had previously worked for Billboard magazine, compiling their charts with Nielsen. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 15:07, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Beyonce's Best Thing I Never Had

Hi, you deleted my info that Best Thing is the lead single in Germany. I think this should be included as Run The World never charted in Germany and never got an official release in contrast to the rest of the world. Or how do you guess about it because as Germany is the 3rd biggest music market worldwide and so it's something special if it doesn't reach a release although it's done worldwide... --79.199.26.49 (talk) 17:17, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can you tell me again what it was you wrote that I reverted. I can't remember what it was specifically. Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹ 17:29, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote this: "After Run The World (Girls) didn't chart and never received a physical release in Germany, Best Thing I Never Had is released as 4's lead single^[1]." --79.199.26.49 (talk) 17:34, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It did get released in Germany. The Run the World (Girls) article lists it as "Worldwide" here and so does German iTunes here on June 25th, 2011. Ask my friend Jivesh about it, because he has created the '4' related articles and has a lot of info about them. BUT the reason I reverted your edit "After Run The World (Girls) didn't chart and never received a physical release in Germany, Best Thing I Never Had is released as 4's lead single" because:

It didn't make sense to read, was a bit awkward where you wrote it.
Shouldn't be included in the Lead info section.
Just because it says on the Charts table on the article that it didn't chart, doesn't mean that it wasn't released or didn't chart, as those two links I just provided show that the song was in fact released. (To be honest, what you wrote isn't really that relevant, it doesn't matter how big the German music industry is.) Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹ 17:50, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But it was only released digitally... And to be a complete single release in Germany, it's still necessary to be released physically. As long as labels don't allow a digital-only release to chart, it can't, so to chart, a physical release must be done and as this never happened I can't see that Run The World is the lead single in Germany...I guess it's more of a buzz single to promote the new album "4"... --79.199.26.49 (talk) 20:03, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But either way, it was still released, and peaked at #40 on iTunes, meaning it must have charted in Germany's Top 100? Just no one has added it. It's like BTINH in the UK, it hasn't been released as a single yet, digitally or physically, but has charted at #3. Have you thought that it's perhaps not a buzz single, (which it isn't) but that it just didn't do well in Germany, hence the lack of decent charting? It hasn't exactly done well even in other places around the world, especially the US. Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹ 21:00, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But it did NOT chart... You can check it, it never happened so far! And I've seen that BTINH reached No. 3 in the UK, so this can't be compared! --79.199.26.49 (talk) 21:27, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It didn't chart at all despite charting on iTunes in the top 40? There still isn't any need to write that on the BTIMH article that BTINH is the lead single. Because it shows that Run the World was released, but no one bought it, or bought enough to warrant charting. That's very different to saying that it wasn't released at all. Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹ 21:33, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I guess the reason why it didn't chart was because it didn't reach a physical release. In this case, wouldn't it be a promo single? Because I guess there is a difference between an official single release and a buzz/promo single... --79.199.26.49 (talk) 21:52, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not a promo single. You can't release a song as a fully fledged single all over the world and as a promo single in just one country. Just because it didn't do well, doesn't mean it's disregarded as a single. It was released as the lead single from the album, but it just didn't perform in Germany. There's not much else to say. Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹ 21:59, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Digital releases, especially singles do not chart in Germany. An appropriate release there is a physical one. Jivesh • Talk2Me 23:29, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

RTW was indeed a buzz single. Its physical release date was removed from Amazon. Jivesh • Talk2Me 23:31, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh I didn't know that. So it was released as a single, but then they stopped it? Due to bad charting? (btw, I'm shocked you are still up!) Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹ 00:16, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm no it was not released, i mean not released to chart (no physical release). It was just a buzz single apparently. Actually i woke up at 2 AM (here) to revise. I Physic Paper 2 and 54 and French today. You thought i stayed awake. LOL. Jivesh • Talk2Me 01:40, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You woke up at 2am to revise? Wow, you are dedicated! It's 3am now and I'm just going to bed haa Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹ 01:54, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At 3 AM, don't you ever get scolded? Well, bye for now. I am leaving for school. Jivesh • Talk2Me 02:24, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lol no. I can do pretty much what I want, within reason of course haa. Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹ 10:22, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jivesh • Talk2Me 11:15, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I love that song more and more every time I hear it. Best song off the album IMO. Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹ 12:40, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for those words Calvin. This will get over me after sometime hopefully. Jivesh • Talk2Me 15:27, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's very sweet Calvin. I also consider you as a very good friend. Not best. My best friend here is Novice7. LOL. Jivesh • Talk2Me 15:42, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I like your sense of humor. Bye for now. Gotta revise AGAIN. I have 2 papers tomorrow. Physic P1 and French P3. Jivesh • Talk2Me 15:54, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So what happens now? Can this information be added? --79.199.15.116 (talk) 22:47, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Are you on another computer? Your IP address is different. I still don't think it is that relevant tbh. I don't know where in the article you would write that, it kinda seems a bit unnecessary. Calvin • ⁹⁹⁹ 22:56, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I guess if you're not logged in, you have a different IP address every day, but I don't wanna join the site for some reasons... Perhaps this would fit in the area "Release". This info should be included as it's also done in other threads, something like "it's the 3rd single there but it's the 4th single in France for this and that reason". I guess it happened e.g. in the Rihanna - Hard thread! --79.199.15.116 (talk) 23:01, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
