New article
Hi, I am new to Wikipedia and I don’t know how to start, I wanted to makeup a page about an artist. Can you help ? Nerdmaniac2021 (talk) 01:38, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- Nerdmaniac2021: Of course! I can definitely help you out. I'd suggest you start by taking a look here, and you should make sure that the artist for whom you want to create the article meets the requirements set forth here. Who are you trying to write about? benǝʇᴉɯ 02:14, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi thanks for responding ! The artist I am talking about is Jonn Poker (without the h) ! Would you say we could create a page about them ? Nerdmaniac2021 (talk) 03:52, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- No. He is not notable and you are evading your many global locks. --IWI (talk) 22:57, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Regarding Mood
Hi there!
I closed the review, so I will try to answer all your questions here. If I missed something let me know. First of all, let me apologize for those "harsh" comments, I didn't mean to hurt anyone or make anyone feel terrible.
For instance 360 magazine (not sure it is a reliable source), The 25 Best Rock Songs of 2020: Staff Picks" by who? reference 30 missing date, source 31 missing author, and so on. But this is normal even someone with years of experience misses this kind of stuff and it's not worrying, but along with everything else is just more stuff to add to the pile. The remix indeed charted, see 1, so it's more than a gut feeling. Yes, I am, sources need to be to the "dug" to the fullest, every bit of information present on those sources is viable, I believe there are more. Those came from like the first two Google pages, I'm 100% sure there is more since the song topped various charts. You can't use component charts see Wikipedia:Record charts#Billboardcharts, for further information. This is not even up to debate. The wikilink you presented are the components of Hot 100, the Billboard Hip-Hop/R&B Songs has its own components charts, one being Rap Songs. In the wikilink I provided you will find all the necessary information and understand what can be added and what can't.
Yes, you should include the information of all releases radio, streaming, and digital on the prose as well. Everything should be included, dates, labels, formats, countries, original or remix. The personnel also needs to be mentioned on the prose, I gave you one source for it because the one on Tidal is incomplete. Billboard has it to the fullest. It's mostly regarding, broadness in coverage and some unreliable sources and some of Mos is also not correct. But after you work on the article submit it to the Guild of Copy Editors before nominating again to GA, they can help out with that. Don't make the Background section a huge paragraph. See 1, 2 and 3 to get a good grasp of what we look upon on a GA, these are FA's, however, if you aim higher you can't miss the rank below. Do you understand? These guidelines will also help you Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Album article style advice, they also work for songs.
Like I said media is not mandatory but perhaps a sample of the song, see WP:Sample can help to illustrate something that words on their own won't be able to explain. Once more, not mandatory but it makes the article look nicer. BTW if you can't find much information regarding the remix I would suggest adding that to the main article with a separation of a paragraph. Like "The original version XYZ. On the other hand, the remix...KYZ". Hopefully, I get my points across. Something else, I forgot to mention but try to nominate an article at the time since you are new to the GA's and that will help you to understand the diferences between the articles. On top of that, take your time to improve the article, don't rush it. Believe me, I have been there.
As a matter of fact, after improvements on the article and a GOCE is done, let me know. Ping me if you need me to clarify something or if I missed something. Cheers, MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 21:25, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Pendulum
Hello, I simply would like to inform you that your move of Pendulum (drum and bass band) to Pendulum (Australian band) was unjust. Whilst, yes, usually nationality is reflected in disambiguation, the other band named Pendulum was also Australian. Hence, genres are the next best thing to use. The other band also made a form of electronic music, so it has to be more specific than that. Lazz_R 21:31, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
- Hi there, that was my mistake. I was trying to be bold and move the page based on WP:BANDDAB but I hadn't seen that the other band was also Australian. If you want to request a move to move it back to its original location, that's fine. benǝʇᴉɯ 22:48, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Guidance: ten year test/unduly negative
Coming out of left field here—Hi there @Benmite: I stumbled across the dispute resolution notice concerning James Charles, and it struck a chord. Why? Because I almost exclusively edit political BLP articles and I've seen this quite frequently: someone (sometimes allegedly) tweeted X in the past (or present) and several stories are published. In other cases, someone said Y and it's blown up into a controversy and published by local papers. That being said, I have never seen the WP:TENYEARTEST or "undue negativity" (not talking about WP:UNDUE) used to remove content in political BLP articles. To me, it seems that one could assert that virtually anything could fail the ten year test, and especially push for the deletion of negativity if it's unduly negative, no? Obviously if criminality is involved, then it's absolutely worth mentioning. I'll be eagerly awaiting for the results of the dispute, but wanted to know what your guidance would be to a user who is still learning. Thanks! -PerpetuityGrat (talk) 18:34, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
- PerpetuityGrat: Hi there! My advice would be to rely on how prevalent information about certain controversies is in reliable sources. I've mainly been pushing for the inclusion of the Ebola tweet and the "Mugshot Challenge" in the James Charles article since, from perusing reliable sources used in the article and sources from elsewhere, those are two things I've seen pop up quite frequently. There are obviously other, less notable controversies that are covered in exhaustive lists of every scandal Charles has ever been involved in, but if no RSs have written articles focused mostly or entirely on them, and any mention of them in any source is mostly passing, then I can understand why it would be seen as unduly negative to include them. I agree that the ten-year test could be used to say that anything shouldn't be included in any article, since it's completely open to interpretation, which is why I mentioned in the discussion about Charles that the test is hypothetical, and it's not actually required that ten years pass for information to be added. I think that, if something or someone is being discussed weeks, months, years after it first happened/they first became notable, then you can get closer to answering the question of how relevant certain information might be in the future. benǝʇᴉɯ 04:14, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- Just looking at other articles here like Jeffree_Star#Controversies. In the controversies section (poorly named section) there are repeated sentences of person X said Star is Y, or "Star has used racial slurs on multiple occasions." Are these going to be notable in ten years? I mean really who knows, but I'd guess not. -PerpetuityGrat (talk) 19:56, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
June 2021
Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at James Charles (Internet personality). Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Stop. Without consensus and multiple RS, this should not be added. —valereee (talk) 00:16, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- I'm getting very concerned that you don't understand that dob is a privacy issue. Do you understand this? —valereee (talk) 01:33, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- Valereee: I have already explained in great detail how the issue of privacy is not applicable here as the only reason Charles's birth date is known to begin with is because he published it himself on social media and elsewhere. This is not his address, his social security number, or anything else that could reasonably be inferred to be an invasion of privacy. It is his birthday and it has been reliably sourced. You have failed to respond to my assertion that WP:DOB states that it does not need to be widely reported in reliable sources if the sources used make it clear that this information is public, and you have yet to explain what is being protected by not adding a birth date when you've left the year there anyway. I also would appreciate if you could be more respectful in your communication with me, instead of implying that I am incapable of understanding how Wikipedia's policies work. benǝʇᴉɯ 01:45, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Benmite, I don't think you're incapable of understanding policy. I think that you have a very strong POV about this article for whatever reason and you're allowing that to affect your interpretation of BLP policies. We always want to err on the conservative side when it comes to BLPs. We don't always include everything we can find. That's because we're dealing with actual human people who can feel things and be harmed by the information we present. —valereee (talk) 09:56, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- Valereee, saying that you believe my judgment is too heavily influenced by my own bias to properly interpret Wikipedia's policies actually is akin to saying that I am incapable of correctly interpreting or understanding Wikipedia's policies. My stance is based on policy, which I repeated twice on Charles's talk page and then once again in my last message to you, and which has also been reiterated by another uninvolved user on said talk page and still has yet to be acknowledged by you. I can bring this issue up on the the dispute resolution noticeboard, though it seems you already alluded to it. benǝʇᴉɯ 10:23, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- What other user? I already responded to Politanum, if that's what you meant? —valereee (talk) 10:34, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- Valereee: I'm saying you have yet to acknowledge the part of WP:DOB that I've repeatedly outlined. benǝʇᴉɯ 10:39, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- I've answered about the dob at article talk, I think we should keep that discussion there. But about the POV: that's not correct. Many editors have certain areas where they feel so strongly about a particular subject that their interpretation of policy suffers. It doesn't mean they aren't capable of understanding policy. It just means that in that area, they may need to err on the side of interpreting more conservatively. You do seem to have a strong POV about this particular subject. —valereee (talk) 10:51, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- Valereee: I can assure you that the only thing influencing my beliefs about his date of birth are the articles that list his date of birth as May 23, 1999 and his own confirmation of his date of birth as May 23, 1999. I would also prefer to move any further discussion about this away from here and to the DRN. benǝʇᴉɯ 11:17, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Greetings! I've noticed your recent contributions to the HoYeon Jung page and I just wanted to say I think some of the things you moved slightly messed up what was previously there before. While reading it, I noticed most of the content doesn't really fall under the acting section, which is why I believe it needs to be fixed. I've undone it, but you can go back and add the new context but please make sure anything make sense and goes where it needs to be. Btspurplegalaxy (talk) 04:06, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
Associated act
Hi. Regarding Arca (musician) page, I believe Björk counts in the category of "Acts with which this act has collaborated on multiple occasions, or on an album, or toured with as a single collaboration act playing together" + Arca wasn't just a producer of her albums therefore they can be considered as an "associated act". ภץאคгöร 19:32, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
