Hello. Do you happen to have access to the News24 article?
[edit]If so please archive it on both wayback machine and the archive.ph website as it is of course a highly reliable source according to Wikipedia:Reliable South African Sources. It also allows others to be able to view it. This0k (talk) 14:40, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, even after I've archived it, it still does not reveal its content. You just got to subscribe, I guess. Most of the times I copy relevant content from subscription sites and paste them on
|quote=You should do the same. dxneo (talk) 16:08, 22 November 2024 (UTC)- Well I am not subscribed that's why I asked you because considering your references often include News24 it seems you are subscribed. So please at least archive it if you have subscription. This0k (talk) 16:20, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I understand. For some reasons, it's not working, it be like this sometimes. So, what you want is the article's content? Get a 14-days free trial, you'll be fine. dxneo (talk) 19:12, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- You were talking to me on the talk page about getting Push 2 Start and Art (song) to GA but I think that both will be a challenge. If any song should be GA it should be Water (Tyla song) as it is her biggest hit and would most likely be promoted to featured article but then again I doubt notability has anything to do with featured articles but it will probably be more likely to be featured if it's her biggest song. If you have tips for getting Art or Push to Start to GA though then let me know. My tips for getting Water to GA is adding a music video screenshot of her doing the viral dance as that might help and also noting and emphasizing the song's impact on the music industry which it did as I would consider Water as the song that made amapiano go mainstream and I am sure that articles must cite that so I'll keep looking but I need to know first if you think this is better or we should focus on Push 2 Start and Art. I'm just taking notes from other featured articles like I don't know her that are also similar as they deal with pop culture so please let me know if im doing anything wrong.

- Firstly, FAs are definitely not about "the biggest song", FA is about a very well-written article, see WP:FA criteria. You are right about "Water" tho, it has the potential of becoming a Featured Article, but there are still a lot of things to address first and adding a non-free screenshot won't help. Did you by any chance get the music video-screenshot idea from "Truth or Dare"? Because, that was my desperate move of expanding the article and getting it to GA, the screenshot does not really help with anything. For now, I can nominate "Water" for GA and without a doubt, it will pass. As for "Push 2 Start", I'll get it to GA after the South African concert + I'm lacking mobile data now so I can't really do anything. The album is a FA level article (currently GA), I'm also waiting for the concert before I can get it to FA. My only problem is "Art" since I can't ahold relevant references, but together we can get it to GA, then move on to the Tyla Tour, since she's not focusing on it, we have to redirect it to the album for the moment and preserve it's content. Once we are done with all of the above, we can nominate the entire album for Good topic. Let's do this mate! dxneo (talk) 19:26, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Charts
[edit]Hello I've undone several reversions you made to edits did to 'APT' and 'Die with a Smile'. I've been editing music articles for over 15 years and partly wrote the chart guidance at WP:RECORDCHARTS around which charts to use and when. Many reliable sources produce charts but it doesn't mean said chart is valid or accurate. The long established consensus is that the chart used should be the one which is nationally recognised in the country of origin. For example, in the US, the official chart provider is Billboard, and while alternative airplay charts are provided by mediabase, we only include the Billboard ones. Additionally Billboard launched a series of digital charts in 2023 called 'Hot Songs of the World', they include all the random country charts like Romania Songs (Billboard) and are based largely on streams and downloads. It was discussed at WP:RECORDCHARTS and determined that Billboard is primarily the US chart provider. In countries like Romania, it is not known in Romania for its charts and therefore their charts are not broadcast or used to judge popularity. This has been discussed before about including multiple charts for small countries, it becomes WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Additionally, for countries like Romania, Media Forest is long established. TopHit is not - therefore there's no value in including both. This is why you will find that the vast majority of articles do not include multiple charts for countries.
I know on the outset it seemed like a removed a lot of information - but please understand that I have a lot of experience in the field having taken numerous articles to good article status and even some to featured status. We do not include every single chart even if its published by reliable sources. It becomes unwieldy and WP:UNDUE. If you have any more questions, happy to discuss further with you but if you search the talk page of record charts, you will find the discussions on the topics listed above. Also please check the information at WP:RECORDCHARTS and especially WP:GOODCHARTS. >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 22:59, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- Well, I did not mean to offend you in any way. My sincere apologies. dxneo (talk) 23:10, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- Don't worry - you haven't.
- It's just a topic I know a lot about as one of the editors who picked through the mess of the arrival of digital charts about 15 years ago. Apology wasn't required but appreciate the sentiment. Keep up the good work :) >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 23:12, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
