United World Chart

Please do not add the United World Chart, or any other chart listed at WP:BADCHARTS, to any Wikipedia articles. Thank you.—Kww(talk) 16:15, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

No apology necessary. You aren't the first or the last person to add it.—Kww(talk) 16:51, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

So Much for You

Concerning So Much for You. Please read WP:SONG. It does not rate its own page. Wikipedia is not a fan-site. 213.219.165.190 (talk) 15:15, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

I do not have to ask for permission to edit an article within Wikipedia guidelines. See Wikipedia:Consensus. 213.219.165.190 (talk) 16:35, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Vanessa Hudgens

You have deleted some resources in this page. Please do not touch anything unless you are going to add some more information. Thank you. Kikkokalabud (talk) 22:04, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Ashley Tisdale

Hi Decodet!, help me with Ashley Tisdale's article, a user called Olivewildes began to editing the article, the bad thing is that this user in several opportunities edtited the article with accounts before blockeds (FortyFootEcho, RaiseYourVice) you can to verify checking the hitory of editions. I know he is hater of Ashley, always he copies things for Brenda Song's article and delete for Ashley, the bad thing of everything is that the user Gimmetrow support him. Sorry for my horrible english, i hope you can help me. Thanks Juanacho (talk) 17:43, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Ashley Tisdale

I've asked all three editors involved in this dispute to start discussion at Talk:Ashley_Tisdale#Major_Edit_Discussion_Section. Please do so and try and resolve this amicably. If you can't, try dispute resolution. Exxolon (talk) 16:11, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Guilty Pleasure

I think it's right on the cusp of having an article. If the release date were firm, it'd be a no-brainer to create the article.

Personally, I'd wait about 24 hours to make sure that the Guilty Pleasure add to Tisdale's article sticks. (I think it will, based on the Cosmo article. Also, Cosmo should be cited directly for that, not the copyvio scans of the magazines. I've changed the ref in the Tisdale article accordingly, if you want to copy that for the album article.) Once that shows that editors are happy with the album title, then the album's article can be created.

Also, when it's time to create, it will need to be Guilty Pleasure (album); Guilty Pleasure will need to be a disambiguation page. —C.Fred (talk) 16:48, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

If you create it tomorrow, I'll take it straight to AFD, so please don't create it. When it has a confirmed tracklist, a confirmed release date, and an official announcement from the label, please go ahead. Please don't create it before then.—Kww(talk) 16:55, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Dead links in references

FYI, when the link to a reference goes dead, don't delete the whole reference. If possible, find a replacement link. Otherwise, leave the reference in place, but flag the link as dead with the {{dead link}} template. —C.Fred (talk) 18:22, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Guilty Pleasure

I would still say "no". One major problem is that you have committed original research: showing up on an ASCAP or BMI listing doesn't mean that a song is going to appear on any particular project. It's a good guess that they'll be on the next album, and probably right, but it isn't confirmation. It's still all small enough that it fits nicely on the Ashley Tisdale page. C.Fred's comment at the AFD sums it up nicely: once there is a confirmed release date and a full track listing, then it makes sense to spin it off to its own article. You aren't there yet.—Kww(talk) 14:07, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

April 2009

From this edit summary it appears that you do not understand the concept of "forced image size". I suggest you familiarise yourself with Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Images. AussieLegend (talk) 03:11, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

An article you created maybe deleted soon: Tools which can help you

The article you created: List of songs by Ashley Tisdale may be deleted from Wikipedia.

There is an ongoing debate about whether your article should be deleted here:

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of songs by Ashley Tisdale.

The faster you respond on this page, the better chance the article you created can be saved.

Finding sources which mention the topic of your article is the very best way to avoid an article being deleted {{Findsources3}}:

Find sources for List of songs by Ashley Tisdale: google news recent, google news old, google books, google scholar, NYT recent, NYT old, a9, msbooks, msacademic ...You can then cite these results in the Article for deletion discussion.

Also, there are several tools and helpful editors on Wikipedia who can help you:

1. List the page on Article Rescue Squadron. You can get help listing your page on the Article Rescue Squadron talk page.

2. At any time, you can ask any administrator to move your article to a special page. (Called userfication)

3. You can request a mentor to help you: Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User. But don't wait for a mentor to respond to you before responding on the article for deletion page.

4. When trying to delete a page, veteran editors love to use a lot of rule acronyms. These acronyms don't need to intimidate you. Here is a list of acronyms you can use yourself: Deletion debate acronyms, which will help you argue that the article should be kept.

If your page is deleted, you also have many options available. Good luck! Ikip (talk) 15:43, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Brazilian Albums Chart

I won't revert you, but if that position gets filled out again I'll remove the whole section again. I tried leaving those notes in articles where people were able to provide good sourcing for the certification or the sales, and guess what? They were ignored, and people kept filling in positions from the Brazil Hot 100. The only way I've found that works is to delete the whole section.

It would be a lot easier if there was an official Brazilian chart. I really don't understand why so few of the South American countries have official album and single charts.—Kww(talk) 23:24, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Recent edits

It is interesting how you know the difference between a peak position and the current position, yet you have interested a new link which clearly does not indicate the peak position ("-" is placed). I did not revert the edit because the peak position is not clearly shown in any of the links. Olivewildes (talk) 3:07, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Hannah Montana O Filme

You might be interested in reading Wikipedia:Record charts/sourcing guide/Brazil. The chart is referencing an album named Hannah Montana O Filme. I know that's a soundtrack album for Hannah Montana, but could you search around a bit and tell me exactly which Hannah Montana soundtrack it is?—Kww(talk) 19:00, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (File:ATWhatIf.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:ATWhatIf.jpg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. FileBot (talk) 19:52, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Music Week

Talk to User:Realist2. He's British, so he will be better able to help. Does the FL review have to be unanimous, or is there a way to get others to decide that Goodraise is being unrealistic and get FL status anyway?—Kww(talk) 14:32, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for intruding. I hope the two of you don't mind that I invade your talk page and discussion thread, respectively. It is indeed possible for a nomination to be promoted despite opposition. Just last week, this one was promoted even though I opposed. (See also Dabomb87's closing comment here.) If I may suggest, you could specifically ask the reviewers who already supported your nomination to reevalutate their position in light of mine. If they reaffirm their support, that would greatly increase the chances of a promotion. (Though of course, it could also backfire.) Regards, Goodraise 06:03, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Recent Katy Perry discography edits

Your input would be much appreciated on the talk page regarding yours and others' recent edits to the page. Thanks. kiac. (talk-contrib) 03:47, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

The IP 201.209 has a history with this page, he/she will destroy, demolish and deface it with complete ignorance of your edit summaries, warnings and even bans. Seems to jump across IPs beginning with 201.209, there was half a dozen of them banned a few months back. Been meaning to contact kww about this, for now though just revert or ignore and I'll fix it up later. Sick to death of dealing with idiots like this! Anyway this was just a heads up. kiac.

Ashley Tisdale

I'm so sorry I haven't replied! I'm about to go through the article myself; I'll leae comments on the talk page and let you know here when I'm done. I was going to suggest the WP:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors, but it looks like it is severely backlogged over there. Liquidluck (talk) 02:15, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

All done. It was really fast; Nice work! Quick comments: Add the premiere and release dates for each film and album. Give each major character she's played a quick descriptive sentence. I recommend adding more reception information. For example, you might cite Metacritic scores for her albums and add comments from notable critics about her film/tv performances. Definitely add commercial outcomes, if possible- how many copies the albums sold, how popular HSM or Suite Life were. See the FA Emma Watson as an example. Good luck with FA!

AnOddName's confusing signature

Did you mean this for my talk page? If so, you're welcome. (I removed the confusing signature link; you won't see it in future posts.) --an odd name 03:08, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Lady Gaga: The Fame Moster

Hi, I also think that The Fame Monster didn´t chart like a new album in Australia, Ireland and Uk since it charted like a re-release and not like a new release. I think The Fame and The Fame Monster pages needs to be changed to make clear this. My first language is not english and I don´t think I will be able to do it. Will be nice if you can do it. Thanks --Albes29 (talk) 16:41, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Ok thanks. For the moment only in US, Canada, Netherlands and Japan The Fame Monster is leke a new album. We should start a new discussion about it.--Albes29 (talk) 17:04, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
