Disambiguation link notification for October 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Served Like a Girl, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kerry Brown (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of CLTure

Hello CerberaOdollam,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged CLTure for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

The Greatest Showman

@CerberaOdollam: Right I understand your reasoning behind the reverting of my edit but I'd like to know if the call for increasing of page protection for the film's soundtrack's page is related to my edit? My intention was not to vandalise, I hope I didn't cause any problems. (101.160.140.187 (talk) 11:32, 7 January 2018 (UTC))

It's all good Cebera0dollam, I noticed it was a result of another edit. Sorry, I just wanted to make sure because I don't want to cause problems on Wikipedia. (101.160.140.187 (talk) 11:34, 7 January 2018 (UTC))

Liberation (album)

Hi. Please do not recreate content at Liberation (album), but rather, do so at Liberation (Christina Aguilera album). As anyone can see, there are already other albums on Wikipedia with articles titled "Liberation". Aguilera's album does not get preferential treatment when multiple albums of the same name exist. When Liberation (The Divine Comedy album), Liberation (Bunny Wailer album) and Liberation (Mýa album) exist, the article needs to be placed at Liberation (Christina Aguilera album) per WP:NCMDAB. Thank you. Ss112 13:06, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Liberation (Album cover).png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Liberation (Album cover).png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 10:00, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Liberation editing/partnership

Hello @CerberaOdollam,

I'm so glad that there are more fans of Christina (or at least of this album) being editing on the article. However, I've been perceiving that some edits that are more consistent and showcase a more organized article (and I've worked a lot on many good articles) are being taken.

First, in the part of "Background and development" it is supposed to have information about the background of the album and a brief collection of information about her previous work (it was a little longer, since she had tons of information, but I accepted the changes that were done), and of course, the development of the record, which consists in information regarding the album. Saying that "Telepathy" was acclaimed by critics (which has no source confirming that) or saying the name of the winner of The Voice and that Christina was the first female to win, isn't as important than she saying that the album will be "timeless" and other things that she has claimed, since it's a background behind the album, not Christina's life and whether Alisan won The Voice or not.

But the main issue and the reason why I write you is the section "Music and Lyrics", which needs to have more details about the songs as well as its genre, lyrical content, etc. The part that was taken (the description of the songs only) definitely belongs to this section (as you can see in many other album articles such as Rebel Heart, Beyoncé, Prism, - all of them 'good articles') and it showcases the description of the songs (that's why I added them again). Other thing, saying "Aguilera commented that the influence behind the title was Julie Andrews' character in the film as well as her middle name, adding..." is way more didactic for the readers and in accordance with one of many Wikipedia's guidelines (that agrees that Wikipedia articles must be written in the author's own words - only adding long quotation when it's necessary - and that we need to "extract the salient points, and use your own words"), than only add: "She described by saying...." (it feels like there were no depth or profundity on it, just a copy and paste situation). It's too long and at the same time non-didactic since we have to interpret and put it in our own words. I have been working on multiple albums along the years here on Wikipedia, and hardly any article with that kind of section is considered consistent or "good" (in the beginning, I read a lot about that, and it helped me so much, this is a good one: Wikipedia:The perfect article).

With that being said, I really wanna construct something like a "partnership", where I'll be hand-in-hand with the other editors (just like I have done in the articles that I also contribute such as Purpose, the already mentioned Rebel Heart, Revival, This Is What the Truth Feels Like and many more), since we don't own any of them, we just help them to become better for the readers, so this is by no means a form to satisfy anyone in particular, but trying to make the article even better so in a near future it can be another good candidate to get a "good status". I really am not keen in those edit warring, which adds nothing good to the article, but I really wanna make it more "Wikipedian style", not just a collection of quotation with no depth or attractiveness, so I need your help to let me do something that it feels right for an album's articles (and it's a pleasure to do it, since I've been working a lot of album's article ever since 2012), but also wanting to keep in touch so we can exchange new information/articles, etc., and maybe help each other to write a better article (for what I have seen, you still have not edited an album's article so far, so maybe it's difficult to visualize what's better in those type of articles, which is extremely normal and will be nice to work along someone who loves a good artist).

Please do not add inappropriate images to Wikipedia, as you did to Liberation (Christina Aguilera album); it is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. This kind of edits are exactly what you are being warned for. Consensus is against you, move on. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 08:29, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

@IndianBio: The image you guys are attempting to add is 'inappropriate' not mine. That pic has been faded and blurred. The original album cover from the record company & singer's website is the official one. Adding a manipulated image to the infobox is the vandalism. There was no 'consensus' those users didn't even click on the images to see the difference they all agreed just because it was from iTunes. What you are doing is WP:AOBF you try to label me with WP:OWN cause you can't tolerate a dissenting opinion which is an absolute sign of obstructionism. CerberaOdollam (talk) 10:21, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
