Thanks for uploading File:Ulterior Motives boombox.webp. 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 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).

Need some advice
[edit]Greeting, Skyshifter! Great work on Worlds; you and TechnoSquirrel69 worked amazingly! Since you have experience in music-related articles, I'd like to know how to improve one of my favorite songs ("Heat Waves") to GA status. Where do I find reliable sources? Thanks, TWOrantulaTM (enter the web) 23:38, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, @TrademarkedTWOrantula! I just use Google to find sources, though looking through magazines (through Google Books, Internet Archive, etc.) might be useful especially for older songs. Most reliable music publications are listed on WP:A/S, and if they're not listed there, they're likely reliable if they have a Wikipedia article. To try to find more useful results on Google I filter by adding keywords related to the song (i.e. "heat waves" "pop", "heat waves" "dreamland", with the quotation marks). I also try filtering by date (i.e. I look for the date the song was released and filter to only find results around that month). Album reviews will also be useful for composition and reception. You can also try looking for the song's position in year-end lists if any. Skyshiftertalk 15:42, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Akihiko Kondo
[edit]The article Akihiko Kondo you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Akihiko Kondo for comments about the article, and Talk:Akihiko Kondo/GA1 for the nomination. Well done!

Your WikiCup submission: Sea of Voices
[edit]Hi Skyshifter, thanks for participating in the WikiCup. You recently submitted Sea of Voices for GA topic points in the WikiCup, but you do not seem to have been a major contributor to the article. Though your name does not appear on the list of 10 top contributors to that page, about 97% of the text was written by two other editors. Unfortunately, Sea of Voices is not eligible for GA topic points as a result.
However, since you are a significant contributor to the other three articles in Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates/Worlds (Porter Robinson album)/archive1, you are allowed to claim points for those. Epicgenius (talk) 14:07, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius: Oh, I thought I had to put every article from the topic in my submission. It was a mistake. Thank you for letting me know! Skyshiftertalk 14:15, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Skyshifter, no problem. I will check the wording of the rules again, but if you're claiming points for a topic, you should only list any articles where you would be a significant contributor. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:24, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Reminder: GA backlog drive
[edit]Hello! Just a reminder that, if you have time, you are welcome to join the GA backlog drive; it runs until the end of July.

Either way, happy editing! —Ganesha811 (talk) 05:10, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Thank you today for your share of Worlds (Porter Robinson album), introduced: "After becoming popular as an electronic dance music artist, Porter Robinson eventually grew weary of the style, writing his debut album Worlds in an attempt to break the conventions of the culture. The album used a novel blend of influences to evoke a sense of grandeur and nostalgia over the pounding bass music of Robinson's discography prior."! — I have a FAC open, different kind of music ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:15, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Skyshifter, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.
This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:
- Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
- If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
- If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies
You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! Hey man im josh (talk) 23:33, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

The Music Barnstar | |
For the great work you've put toward music articles, including Virtual Self (EP) among many, many others. I feel bad about how the FAC went down, and while I stand by my initial comments, I probably wouldn't have outright opposed if I had known it would be archived so quickly afterward. We can discuss further if you would like, but you addressed most of my feedback satisfactorily, and should you decide to turn this link blue in a couple weeks, I hope to be able to support. Regards, Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 23:36, 24 August 2024 (UTC) |
- Thank you very much, Dylan620! Don't worry about it; the oppose was completely valid after all. This is a problem with the FAC system, not the FAC participants. I will soon ping you on the talk page of the article so we can discuss other needed changes. Skyshiftertalk 00:49, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
