love profusion

[edit]

hi! i saw what you did with the whole 2nd cover regarding "Love Profusion" i seem to remember that the "Like a Prayer" article also does mention in the article a 2nd cover, i remember that there indeed was one uploaded but then deleted it, why don't you upload that one also?--189.144.100.216 (talk) 17:59, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I did not upload the alternate cover for "Love Profusion," I am just trying to keep it in the article. I have never uploaded an image and find that part of Wikipedia confusing, so I leave that to people who have more experience in that area. I suggest that you find an editor who has experience uploading images about uploading the image you are looking for. Aspects (talk) 01:31, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Editing Kelly Clarkson discography page

[edit]

Hi Aspects, it's my first time to use talk section on Wikipedia. I hope there won't be any troubles with a message. (Does it work well?) At first, I'm sorry if I made you annoyed without any notification. However, I thank you to send me this message.

About editing sales information from Kelly Clarkson discography, I think you were mistaken. That article which you had used a source said about Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) single sales, not Stronger album sales. It cannot be true that Stronger album sold over 350k copies. It was not that high in UK and also sold about 250k copies.

Unfortunately, I don't have an exact source to prove this because nobody posted about this one officially. So it's possible that 250k copies could be wrong because thses numbers were calculated by somebody who considered numbers compared to other albums from chart article.

Taylor Swift's Red might have sold over 274k copies for 15 weeks. This one is big hit in UK. Stronger was good there but it didn't surpass this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.143.216.233 (talk) 13:40, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Hi Aspects, Kelly's Greatest Hits record has sold 331k copies in the US as of this week, not 250k. I'm not sure how to cite that, but if you could that would be great. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.18.76.163 (talk) 20:53, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rugrats

[edit]

Hi, I don't understand why my improvements to the Rugrats article are being reverted. I truly feel like my edits are necessary to the article, enhancing the experience of using Wikipedia. With the cast photo and logo in the infobox and the info box colors altered to match the show, I believe this creates a user friendly environment. It allows readers to experience what they're researching on an entirely new level. Also, other articles have used the methods I'm executing. The article for Family Guy uses both the show's logo and cast photo and the SpongeBob SquarePants article and The Simpsons article changes the infobox colors to reflect the theme of the television show. I don't see the harm in my edits and I understand that you're doing your job to regulate Wikipedia laws but, again, I truly feel like I'm bettering the article and creating a fun environment for users. If there is anything I can do in order to properly execute these ideas, please advise me. And even though I disagree with you reverting my edits, I respect your decision and I hope you can help me improve the article :) CityMorgue (talk) 03:42, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I found that your edits were not improvements nor necessary to the article. The color fields are deprecated and should not be used in Template:Infobox television. Only 124 of the 26,407 articles that use the template have the deprecated color fields, so using one example using them, I could use the vast majority that do not use them. The Simpsons does not use the deprecated infobox fields, it uses a different template Template:Infobox television/colour. If you feel the colors are clearly associated with Rugrats like yellow is with The Simpsons, then you should either gain a consensus at Talk:Rugrats or you could start a new discussion at Template talk:Infobox television/colour.
Two non-free images should not be used in the infobox as it would fail WP:NFCC#8. I have edited numerous television articles and the only ones I have seen that have two images are the Seth Macfarlane ones. I am about to go change those and move the cast photos to the character sections of the articles. I was going to do that with the Rugrats article, but you had already posted a different cast photo in that section, which doubly made the smaller cast photo fail WP:NFCC#8. Aspects (talk) 18:43, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for explaining, and I completely understand. I will definitely consider your suggestions for alternative methods to accomplish these edits. CityMorgue (talk) 19:38, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You reverted my removal of the Artbook image because it was "unexplained". In this case, I did explain this, although I sort of explained the image deletion in the edit reason for the edit before it. So, I guess, my bad. If that's your only reason for restoring the image, I'm going to re-remove it. If not, okay then, let us discuss it like gentlemen. Or maybe a gentleman and a gentlewoman; I don't know your gender.

For the sake of ease, the edit reason:

"removing art book image because it isn't described in the article and isn't actually an comic."

I also said "an comic". I will carry this tragedy forever. – Bellum (talk) (contribs) 21:23, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late reply, but I took a few days off of Wikipedia. I am sorry for the reversion, while I was technically correct about the edit not explaining it, I should have looked at your other edit that did explain. I should have also examined the image more closely because I honestly thought it was a comic book. I am sorry for my wrong reversion, which I will revert myself, and will make sure in the future that I do not make the same mistake again. Aspects (talk) 00:25, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Midway (1942 documentary)

[edit]

Hi, I changed the photo, because the DVD cover is totally nonsense. The makers used this widely published photo File:USS Langley (CVL-27) and others enter Ulithi.jpg. However, the ships depicted were mostly not even built, when the Battle of Midway took place. I don't know if there ever existed a poster for an 18-minute film. Maybe we coud combine two screenshots, the one I used and the following saying someting like "official U.S. Navy..." Cheers Cobatfor (talk) 16:20, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, like this: File:Battle of Midway (1942 documentary) intro2.jpg Cobatfor (talk) 16:30, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think that image works better than just the title card, especially since it is on Commons. Aspects (talk) 02:54, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Although your AfD comment is correct, I don't believe you understand this guideline either. Notability aside, a standalone article is only appropriate when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 19:06, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It would be helpful if you explain which AfD I made the comment on, so I could explore it further to come back to you with a better response, especially since the only recent AfDs that I have commented on were three singles that I started the AfDs. Aspects (talk) 02:58, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This discussion is also applicable to the redirect I attempted on Over the Mountain which Aspects reverted. As the subsequent discussion showed, the article should be merged as proposed. ChakaKongtalk 11:14, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(outdent) In response to Lukeno94, when you redirected "Ai no Ai no Hoshi," it was like a prod that was then removed. It should not have been redirected/reverted again, but a discussion of either a merge or an AfD should have taken place or at the very least a no sources template added to address your concern. Also your edit summaries were incorrect since the reliable sources is just one of the criteria listed at WP:NSONGS.

In response to ChakaKong, "Over the Mountain" now fits three of the criteria listed at WP:NSONGS, notable sources, music charts and notable cover versions.

In both cases, there has been no evidence to show that the article is unlikely to grow beyond a stub and nothing was stated that makes me think either of you even looked for information or sources to help expand the article in anyway that makes me think you saw a stub article for a song and therefore it should be redirected and no information even merged to the album. Aspects (talk) 16:19, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If this was taken to AfD, the nominator would have to go through WP:BEFORE in that "If there are verifiability, notability or other sourcing concerns, take reasonable steps to search for reliable sources." which then are listed below as a minimum of searching Google Books and Google News. If you are claiming an article is so small that they should be merged/deleted, you need to be able to back up that it is unlikely to grow beyond a stub by expressing that you actually took the time to search to see if there is information that could be added to the article to take it beyond a stub. Aspects (talk) 17:52, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Except there was no need to take it to AfD for what was a 100% policy based redirect. The article should only be restored if the creator finds sources and uses them. And I wasn't referring to either criteria, I was referring to the bit, very clearly written, at the top of NSONG, which should've been obvious. This sort of farce is precisely why NSONG is being reworded. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 18:10, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Stop undoing edits you know nothing about, your just making more work for me i re uploaded those images because the other ones don't fit the infobox correctly, they are just too small so if i re upload put a reduce tag on it then the bot adds the correct size, so please do me a favor and just let the bot take care of it your just creating more problems for both of us.

Kellie Pickler edit

[edit]

You say, "changes per MOS." I'd like to know what MOS you're reading. Please see Template:Infobox_musical_artist#label -- quote: "The record label or labels to which the act has been signed, as a comma-separated list [no break]. Omit parenthetical dates; save that information for the main article." (You also used a hyphen instead of en dash.) Parentheses are generally discouraged in infoboxes, and if they are used, it's preferred to use them with < small > type. Part 2: according to MOS:NUMERO, "No. 15" is correct. Yes, it is fine to write it all out (number fifteen), but, I'm not aware of anything that says it's the preferred way. Personally, I think that if it's more than once or twice in a paragraph it is better to abbreviate so it's not so unnecessarily long. --Musdan77 (talk) 00:08, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My full edit summary was "Added back years for record labels in infobox and rv incorrect style/grammar changes per MOS", the first part was explaining my revert to the infobox and nothing to do with the MOS. Had you explained why you removed the years from the infobox with the link you provided above, I would have gone there and seen you were correct. Most of the American Idol alumni have the years and I always thought that was correct, but now that I think about it I guess I never did see it in other artist infoboxes. I am going to remove the years from the infobox and in the future when I notice these in other infoboxes I will remove them there.
As for the second part of edit summary, I had copied what you had used in your edit summary. WP:NUMERO states that No. or number is preferred to # and as number is already in the article, you previously provided no reason for the change, and in my opinion having it more than once is not unnecessarily long and should stay as it was previously. The numbers themselves should be spelled out per WP:ORDINAL. Aspects (talk) 17:52, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, WP:ORDINAL says, "numbers greater than nine, if they are expressed in one or two words, may be rendered in numerals or in words." So, again, it comes down to preference -- and consensus. But, it's not that big a deal. Thanks for your reply.

The numbers are backed up by a reliable source. If you want to change the sales numbers, you need to provide a reliable source backing up the numbers. Please read the message I left on your talk page as to how to go about this. Aspects (talk) 18:40, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]


I'm so sorry. You are so right. It's far better to have inaccurate singles and dates. Thanks WikiNazi! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ginaalex (talkcontribs) 18:44, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's better to have accurate dates with a source. It's absolutely fine to update the information, just supply a source as well, so it's all verifiable. Pseudomonas(talk) 18:47, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Affairs of Anatol

[edit]

You reverted my addition of a high resolution image of a poster of this movie. Yes, it was a poster from a newspaper, but it is better quality than what is currently on the site. The policy you cited says: Insert a relevant image for the film. Ideally this should be a film poster, but a DVD/VHS cover, screenshot, or other film-related image may also be used. So I don't know why the image I provided is a problem? I wanted to talk about this though, not just revert your edit. Cheers, Nesnad (talk) 17:27, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

'Angels' by Robbie Williams

[edit]

Hi Aspects, I noticed me and you are the people consistently reverting deletion of the information about Ray Heffernan on the Angels article: Angels (Robbie Williams song). As an experienced Wikipedian, do you have any ideas on how we could stop people deleting the sourced information time and time again? Reverting it gets tiresome... Thanks, --Jonie148 (talk) 17:05, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is hard when these editors do not justify their actions either in edit summary or on the talk page. It would be helpful if we started a talk page discussion, gain a consensus on the issue and then link to the discussion both in our edit summaries and then on the other editors' talk pages to either see the consensus there or discuss there instead of reverting.

Record

[edit]

Record is an album synonym. I don't understand your point? — Robin (talk) 22:59, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The articles are listed in album categories, uses Template:Infobox album and Clarkson's navigational template lists them as albums, so it should stay as album. I do not find the synonymous, which would explain why I changed it back. Aspects (talk) 05:12, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the explanation. — Robin (talk) 18:46, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Manchester Gazette

[edit]

first, of all let me apologise if there are any formatting errors, I an writing on my cell phone and some unusual line and format errors sometimes occur.

Just a little background on Manchester Gazette, the publication ceased publishing in the 1830s. Last autumn an online newspaper began claiming continuinity with the original publication, last year the claims were added to the article including the logo of the online publication. The logo are the arms of Manchester City Council and they have issued a cease notice to the online publisher. The current arms date to around 30 years later since the newspaper was published so only relate to the online version which i have excised from the current article until such time as it gains notability. I hope this clears up your query. I did mention all this on the talk page. A quick re-through often avoids these type of conversations. Happy editing.

The Vampire Diaries.

[edit]

Hi,

Season 2 of the Vampire Diaries has a dark purple banner on the top, not a blue one. That is why I changed it, to make it consistent with the other season pages. B.Davis2003 (talk) 23:26, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The image with the dark blue banner has been on Wikipedia for over two years now and no one has complained about it. A search on Google for the season covers shows a majority with the dark blue banner and a few with the dark purple banner. The file you uploaded is way too large in size, almost ten times the file size of the previous image and it is a terrible image with the Australian rating and the "5 Disc Set" images located on them, make it an inappropriate image for Wikipedia. I do not understand how your changing the image made it consistent with the other season articles, when it was already consistent with them and now this image is inconsistent with the additional images located on it. As such the previous image should change, until there is a consensus to use the new image per WP:BRD. Aspects (talk) 00:26, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Aspects

I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).

So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.

What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.

The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

Jedi image

[edit]

Just dropping you a line, but I wouldn't restore the Jedi image again; I understand (and agree) that it is worth keeping, but it isn't worth getting into an edit war over. If it ends up getting deleted due to be orphaned, it can just as easily be undeleted (and I'd happily restore the image in that case), so there's nothing that will be lost.

With all due respect, I believe that as the person who created and uploaded the image, I have the right to dictate its use on Wikipedia, especially since it's no world-famous work of art and quite frankly the quality leaves much to be desired. If someone wants to replace it with an alternative, that's their prerogative, but as I am unable to use my work to its fullest potential, I would rather that none of my work be on here than some of it be on here in an incomplete form. In any case, the image is a violation of WP:NFC. I'd appreciate if you would let the image be removed. --Kevin W. - Talk 22:00, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
