Your invitation to participate in a Wikimedia-approved survey in online behavior.

Hello, my name is Michael Tsikerdekis [1][2], currently involved as a student in full time academic research at Masaryk University. I am writing to you to kindly invite you to participate in an online survey about interface and online collaboration on Wikipedia. The survey has been reviewed and approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Research Committee.

I am contacting you because you were randomly selected from a list of active editors. The survey should take about 7 to 10 minutes to complete, and it is very straightforward.

Wikipedia is an open project by nature. Let’s create new knowledge for everyone! :-)

To take part in the survey please follow the link: tsikerdekis.wuwcorp.com/pr/survey/?user=79192617 (HTTPS).

Best Regards, Michael Tsikerdekis (talk) 10:37, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PS: The results from the research will become available online for everyone and will be published in an open access journal.

UPDATE: This is the second and final notification for participating in this study. Your help is essential for having concrete results and knowledge that we all can share. I would like to thank you for your time and as always for any questions, comments or ideas do not hesitate to contact me. PS: As a thank you for your efforts and participation in Wikipedia Research you will receive a Research Participation Barnstar after the end of the study. --Michael Tsikerdekis (talk) 19:57, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Black Rainbow

I noticed you edit quite frequently on Porcelain Black articles! If you're interested, I've started the Black Rainbow page in my sandbox and you could edit freely over there! I could use some help grammatically and some extra eyes for reliable sources :) WikiUhOh (talk) 01:17, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So according to Porcelain's twitter, she claims she never confirmed the albums track listing and name....... What is wrong with this woman??? I really feel like we can control this albums release date and content through the wikipedia page! LMFAOOOOO WikiUhOh (talk) 21:15, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh yes!! And wikipedia is so stubborn with it's sources, i feel like we're already pushing it with the critical reception websites already used in Naughty Naughty... But oh well, a lot of reliable sources should review the album, right? :D Whenever that comes out -_________- WikiUhOh (talk) 22:11, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, I've begun work on a "How Do You Love Someone?" page. Since Black is recovering it, it's elligible for it's own article, we just need its official release and/or the albums official release. Idk I have this feeling to let you know these things, since you are practically the only other trainwreck on here! HAHAHAAAA WikiUhOh (talk) 14:35, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Roman Holiday.ogg

Thanks for uploading File:Roman Holiday.ogg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 10:05, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nicki Minaj

Hi Thevampireashlee, Thanks for your note. I'm quite happy for you to continue editing/improving the article, provided that it involves simple things such as correcting spelling, improving grammar, etc. Life gets a bit more difficult for the reviewer if the editing involves moving text around and/or replacing big blocks of text. So if you could hold back any of those big changes that would be great. Pyrotec (talk) 08:32, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj took forever! I'm so glad that it was passed, and thankful for all your help as it did need significantly improving in parts. The Madonna article is going to be another daunting challenge, so your assistance would really be needed. I would be glad to look over Porcelain Black - I'm not familiar with this artist at all, but I think I could tidy some things up. :) Jennie | ☎ 10:32, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think it could be good enough for GA status, if you want to nominate it, then I would be happy to review it for you. Jennie | ☎ 10:37, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've accepted to review it and I will probably later today. Ahh, I see - reviewing GA's is not that hard to be honest, if you want more of an idea I would recommend looking at WP:GACN, which is probably the most informative article of all. I think Madonna is a little tricky at this stage, but if you look through WP:GA/N - is there anything your interested in reviewing - I would say to just jump right in!

Porcelain Black

Hello!

I'm sorry about leaving you waiting with one section to go, but I have been a little busy recently so I managed to complete it just now. Congratulations - Porcelain Black has been promoted to good article status. I would add that the article may well come under reassessment in months/years to come as the artist hasn't released her debut album yet (and I have a feeling she may be quite big), so the article might come under major expansion/disruption. But for now, well done and congratulations on making a high-quality article of this length! :) Jennie | ☎ 20:58, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's such a shame! It must be annoying to have to wait for so long for a debut album. To think I'm annoyed waiting for an album over 2 years, when you and other fans have waited 6! I hope you get it soon, how is your GA reviewing going? Jennie | ☎ 21:54, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh none in particular! I was just referring to the average time for artists like Beyonce and Nicki Minaj that I have to wait :) Jennie | ☎ 22:14, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there.

I notice you've added the synthpop category to many articles. Are you sure they all fit the criteria? Some do, some don't, and a number again are dubious - for example; Madonna?

Lana Del Rey

Hello there. As you appear to be one of the most active users who edit Lana Del Rey articles, I just wanted to clear something up with you. The Paradise Edition release is just like Lady Gaga's Fame Monster release back in 2009. All singles released are from the EP. The new EP is simply packaged with the original album in some editions. Zac (talk · contribs) 21:16, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is not. The Fame Monster is an EP. In this case, two releases exist. Born to Die - The Paradise Edition is a re-release including the songs from Born to Die and Paradise. Paradise is an EP only consisting of 8 songs. The Fame Monster was supposed to be a re-release but was released as an EP instead, so you can't compare the two. The Paradise EP isn't even released worldwide so you can't say all of the singles are released from the EP. teammathi (talk) 11:20, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lana Del Rey and Paradise (EP)

I'm not interested in an edit-war so I think we should discuss this and come to a conclusion here. Lana Del Rey: I think letting the sentences start with the date the event happened, makes everything clearer and neater. Like this, the reader knows from the beginning exactly when something happened. Your edits were good faith-edits but they weren't necessary. It is absolutely not messy, it is neater and easier to read and understand. Paradise (EP): I think Template:Cite web#Examples and Template:Cite news#Examples are pretty clear on how the references should be formatted. It is a lot neater this way, easier to read and easier to edit. Without the spacing every reference is just one big chunk of words which is hard to edit. teammathi (talk) 19:05, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that this type of formatting for the source is neater, but first, let me explain that the edits you have made to Paradise and Lana Del Rey actually contain more spaces than are presented in those examples. Besides, I am using the citation tool that appears in the tool bar every time you open an edit window. The spacing this tool employs must be correct, since it's live across all of Wikipedia every time you edit a page. Personally, I think it's easier to read, locate, and mend sources when there are less spaces; that's my personal opinion which you seem to disagree with.

As far as prose goes, starting every sentence with "On this day," and "On that day," is not only boring, but it seems to be advised against in the manual of style. First and foremost, I have participated in the Good Article project here on Wikipedia, as well as on various other wikis (some of which I am an administrator). I also have a degree in Creative Writing; I know good prose when I read it. English also happens to be my native language. That aside, I have witnessed on Wikipedia that this exact type of sentence structure has failed Featured Article nominations, as in: the article failed becoming a Featured Article because of this same exact phrasing. I want this article to shine and reading sentences that start with the exact same formula is bland and reads like a chronology, which the Lana Del Rey is not. What is the harm in trying to make the article the best that it can be? The prose is still 100% accurate. After my edits, more sentence variation exists, making it "exciting, even brilliant, of a professional standard;" as the the Featured Article criteria outlines. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 19:18, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I use this citation tool: http://toolserver.org/~magnus/makeref.php which formats the references like this and I just think it's neater and easier to edit by other editors. I agree that the article needed more sentence variation but this is an encyclopedia, so the dates should definitely be included. teammathi (talk) 19:26, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I totally agree. Dates make the world go 'round, and I've tried to keep them in. But, it seems a bit over the top to have one sentence reading, "On October 12, she did this." then, having the next sentence read, "On October 14, she did this." when we could just say something like, "On this day, she did this. Two days later, she did this." It's more cohesive. At any rate, I think we have a third party interested in the debate.

P.S. is this tool an official software of Wikipedia? It appears to be a user-creation. The one I'm using is embedded right into the plain-jane edit window. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 19:34, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that we shouldn't add dates that are that close to one another. I found the tool here: Help:Citation_tools#Tools. I never saw that edit tool. I guess I'll start using that from now on. teammathi (talk) 19:49, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's easier to use. :) --Thevampireashlee (talk) 19:56, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

At this rate, I don't mind if you completely undo my changes. As of late, I've been extremely discouraged from contributing to Wikipedia. I feel as though my contributions are unwanted (not by you). There are editors who have embarked on a personal vendetta against me, and I'm tired of dealing with it. Wikipedia should be fun. It shouldn't be about proving a point or attacking people who aren't in your clique. I'm sorry if I've offended you in any way. It's really not about you at all. I felt like we could collaborate and work things out, which is very very rare around here I've noticed. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 21:05, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You know what sucks here? Editors who think they know better and revert editors who actually do know better. See Paradise (EP): "dangling modifier" has nothing to do with that construction; you want to look at Comma#Parenthetical_phrases.

November 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. I have noticed that some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Wanessa, have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you to seek consensus for certain edits. Thank you. Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 20:49, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
