December 2007

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edit(s) to 2007 in country music, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 20:21, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Song articles redux

David, I hope you don't let TenPoundHammer's gross overreaction discourage you from creating song articles when your block wears off because you were doing a great job. If you need any help adding references, which you really should be doing, drop a note on my talk page. Eric444 (talk) 06:34, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Mission Temple Fireworks Stand

Just a heads-up, the Jeff Wood who wrote They Don't Understand isn't the same guy who sang "You Just Get One", according to the ASCAP listings. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 20:18, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to The Way You Love Me (Faith Hill song). Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Novice7 (talk) 06:32, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

'Til I Can Make It on My Own

Looks like it was deleted by accident. I've filed a request with the admin who deleted it, and at WP:REFUND. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 01:29, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Done - could you double-check the reversion reverted-to... just to be sure this is the correct one. Skier Dude (talk) 02:16, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Just what I suspected. Someone vandalized the article and it got speedy deleted while in a vandalized state. This is why admins should check their work. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 22:31, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

In gratitude

Many thanks for adding a page for "How Do You Get That Lonely" a truly remarkable and deserving song performed by Blaine Larsen. I have added further information to make the article more comprehensive werldwayd (talk) 05:38, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

But I Do Love You

Hi I noticed your edit on "But I Do Love You" and I would like to point out that the iTunes source states that it was released on February 26, 2002 but if you have a reliable source that can prove the single was released in 2001 then it can be changed but I would also like to point out that Amazon.com though it has the wrong released month and day also gives it a 2002 release. Thank you for your edit on the page. Swifty*^talk 20:07, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Queen of Hearts

Hello David829. You'll note I've reverted your recent move of Queen of Hearts (Hank DeVito song). This was due to a discussion I started at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Music#Title disambiguation of popular songs. When I started that thread I cited your move as an example, but intended it to be a discussion about title disambiguations in general as opposed to your move in particular. However, the result of the discussion did seem to rule out "(Dave Edmunds song)" as an appropriate disambiguation for the example article. It occurs to me now that I ought to have notified you of the discussion—I apologize for neglecting to do this at the time. Of course, it's not too late for you to join the discussion, and we can always undo my reversion should new information or opinions come to light or should a new consensus develop. —Psychonaut (talk) 22:01, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Song content

I would recommend back issues of Billboard and Country Weekly, review sites like The Boot, Country Standard Time, Roughstock, etc. This site also has archives of Radio & Records magazine, which sometimes has reviews or articles on songs. You could also check newspaper archives like newspapers.com to see if any of them have articles on the artist or their material. It's usually easier to get a good article going on a modern song because there will invariably be more sites giving it attention, such as Love Triangle (song). I would recommend taking a look at Cain's Blood, Are Your Eyes Still Blue, and Someday Soon (Ian Tyson song) as examples of reasonably fleshed-out articles on older songs, and using those as examples.

ETA: Dixie Rose Deluxe's Honky-Tonk, Feed Store, Gun Shop, Used Car, Beer, Bait, BBQ, Barber Shop, Laundromat is another good example. The only citation is to a Billboard magazine review of the song, but it gives sufficient info on the song's content. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 18:25, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Look at Us (Craig Morgan song)

The content you added to Look at Us (Craig Morgan song) is exactly the kind of thing I'd like to see you adding to articles. If you can't figure out how to do the link neatly, then do something like this:

<ref>[http://insertlinkhere.com Name of the page being linked]</ref>

And that will at least create a bare bones footnote that someone else can flesh out if they want. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 02:45, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

She's Gone, Gone, Gone

That's the wrong Universal label. Universal Records did not exist in 1989 when the song was released. The Universal Records that released this song was a short-lived label that got bought out by Capitol in 1990. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 04:46, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Allmyrowdyfriendshavesettleddown.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Allmyrowdyfriendshavesettleddown.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
