Semi-protected edit request on 4 Sept 2018

This edit request to BTS (band) has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

"Band" is a term which refers more specifically to people who play musical instruments,"Group" is a word which usually refers to anything such as a gathering of performers in music. BTS is a group, the term "band " is not correct for they. "Music group" or simply "group" is better to define them. Etedzu (talk) 09:54, 4 Sept 2018 (UTC)

Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. - FlightTime (open channel) 12:57, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Etedzu: a band and a boy band are not the same. The article states them to be a boy band, which is linked to an article which also explains that boy bands typically do not play instruments. Alexanderlee (talk) 13:00, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is consensus to not include TV show guest appearances on Kpop artists' articles. Random86 (talk) 18:13, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Random86: If that was for me, it's not for this page, I'm working on something like this section of Lady Gaga's live performances page, which is FA. DanielleTH ^{(Say hi!)} 14:12, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Columbia Records

BTS is just with Universal Music. They have never signed with Columbia Records. The label never confirmed it, was just a rumor. The label has never published anything about them, check the Columbia Records website and see that they do not appear on your artist list.

Semi-protected edit request on 8 October 2018

This edit request to BTS (band) has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In addition to "2017 to present: International Recognition" section, please add:

On October 6th, 2018, BTS performed at Citi Field, home of the New York Mets, making them the first and only Korean artist to perform at a US stadium^[1]. Citi Field tweeted an hour after tickets went on sale that "due to overwhelming demand, tickets are no longer available"^[2]. It is speculated that over 40,000 tickets were sold out in just 15-20 min. The stadium released a few thousand extra tickets a few days before the concert due to increasing demand. The show was the last segment of the band's Love Yourself World Tour in North America before they headed off to Europe. Aisharafique96 (talk) 23:50, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The claim that they are the first Korean artist to perform at a US stadium is not backed up by the Korea Herald article, which refers to "the act’s first-ever stateside stadium concert". Part of this might warrant inclusion, but all the claims don't check out. —C.Fred (talk) 00:11, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Here is an article that supports that:

There are a lot more articles that state this too. Ukiss2ne14lyfe (talk) 04:37, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ukiss2ne14lyfe: Metro UK is on the unreliable sources list for WikiProject Korea, and the Daily Mail is another tabloid paper so I'm not sure how trustworthy it is. DanielleTH ^{(Say hi!)}

There are still two other sources I posted that you ignored. A google search shows a dozen other articles stating this too.Ukiss2ne14lyfe (talk) 18:46, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ukiss2ne14lyfe: Not attempting to insult or devalue your contribution, apologies. I'm actually pretty neutral on the change myself, I just thought I would inform you to avoid sources like those in the future. DanielleTH ^{(Say hi!)} 18:49, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Since there hasn't been any movement on this request for about 6-7 days I'm gonna go ahead and mark it as no for now. If anything changes or any additional sources come to light to support the change please change the answered=yes parameter back to answered=no. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 14:58, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian sales

There seems to be a problem with the 10,000 Canadian album sales for Love Yourself: Answer quoted on the page. I cannot find a link proving this figure. I've been trying to trace it so I can add it to other pages but cannot find it. If anyone has the link, or could point me to where the source for that on this page would be, it would be very helpful.Ukiss2ne14lyfe (talk) 15:46, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

here, but these are "consumption units" and not proper album sales.--Lirim | Talk 16:30, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thank you! Ukiss2ne14lyfe (talk) 16:34, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Park Jimin

Is anybody in the process of making Jimin his own Wikipedia page? I’ve noticed Jin and Jungkook have finally got their own separate Wikipedia pages, and was wondering if Jimin would eventually get his own too. He also has solo contributions to add so a page of his own wouldn’t be too sparse. I hope to see one soon as I’ve begun to develop and draft my own anyway in the hopes of it becoming official, but I’m not sure how to expand it as I’m new to editing and referencing and such on here.

Thank you. Farhanabae (talk) 22:11, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've looked at making one but I don't think he does enough stuff outside of BTS to warrant one. Jimin really only has some hosting gigs. The solo songs were through bts so that wouldn't warrant one. He's working on a song now and if he releases it officially and it does well we could probably get him a page, but for now I can't really see him getting one. He has to do things outside of BTS and he doesn't really do that.Ukiss2ne14lyfe (talk) 23:45, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Frahanbae: I've found your draft! I've also been looking into making one but he's done the least amount of solo stuff outside BTS (the solo songs were under his name) so it's a bit more difficult to do. It's still worth writing up a draft though. The draft you made is just the infobox (not sure if you plan to add more) but I'd be happy to help out with it when I get the chance! DanielleTH ^{(Say hi!)} 22:11, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have a draft submitted for Jimin. Independent Jimin pages are already available in Spanish, العربية, Català, Euskara, Français, Bahasa Indonesia, 한국어, Português,, Русский, 中文 so an English page should be warranted, no? Chanelle821 (talk) 10:53, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Chanelle821: Just to note, whatever articles exist on Wikipedia in other languages is irrelevant to the English Wikipedia, they run independently of each other and may even have entirely different notability requirements and guidelines.

Youtube

Should anything be added about them getting the youtube diamond? I was looking through articles and found this. http://www.topstarnews.net/news/articleView.html?idxno=465628#08e1 Ukiss2ne14lyfe (talk) 01:16, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, sorry for the inconvenience my request is not for you to change something of the article, but rather it is a concern, when you search in google bangtan boys and go to the members section before opening the link of the article appear only 6 members and V ( Kim Taehyung) appears as related searches, could you check that? thank you. Vante01 (talk) 03:58, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 28 October 2018

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected redirect at BTS (band). (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
