AnastaciaI saw people doing the same on Hilary Duff's singles discography article, so I thought it was the 'wikiway' to order that. I'm sorry, but isn't it handier to use 'rowspan' so that it looks categorized than have the name of the album posted next to every song that was released from the album? And where should I post suggestions for wikipedia. By the way, those are not my own templates, I saw them too on several other pages (like Beyoncé). -- Luigi-ish 16:12, 1 September 2006 (UTC) Taylor DayneWell done for your work on removing 'tripe' from her page. I am no fan, but it is on 'my watchlist', and it is not the first time I have noticed exaggerated claims as to chart positions, record sales etc. Indeed, I would not have though her fairly modest chart achievements in U.S. and UK would justify this line taken from the article - Taylor Dayne has sold over 25 million albums and 50 million singles worldwide. Any thoughts ?! Derek R Bullamore 19:30, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
Number of Billboard Hot 100 number onesHi Ericorbit I think that Fred Bronson made a mistake on his column. It should be 932 and not 942. He is correct that SexyBack is the 971 number one of the "Rock Era". As "Poor Little Fool" was the 40th number one of the Rock Era there was 39 pre hot 100 number ones which makes the current one the 932nd one. At first I thought he was counting in some double sided hits but I don't think he is. Best wishes, Phildav76 17:57, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Roberta FlackAccording to Joel Whitburn's "A Century Of Pop Music" (Record Research, Inc., Menomonee Falls, WI), Roberta Flack had the #1 song for 1972 and also for 1973, but I'm not going to waste the time to amend the article again. -- Stormyhawn 01:59, 12 September 2006 (UTC)stormyhawn Call on MeJermaine Dupri has confirmed on Janet's official site that Call on Me has hit number one, so all of your nitpicky edits will just be reverted later. Also when editing a page don't remove things like ' </ref> ' it messes up the page.

But I can't remember where I saw that. Also, have you checked out the Bananarama inteviews on YouTube? There are some insightful ones, and many of them reflect the things mentioned by some of the contributors on the bio. Ciao for now... Banzaiboy 07:01, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Celine DionHi, I didn't know all the rules when I made those Celine Dion pages. If you could continue to clean them up, I would be very greateful. I will try not to make those misteakes creating new pages. Thanks, Max Snowball FlavorI see you removed the additional info I added, I don't really know of anyway to confirm the fact to your satisfaction other than to try to track down people who used to own snowball stands in the 80's, however, I absolutely guarantee that EVERYONE had banana flavored snowballs named "Bananarama" for years in the early to mid 80's. Please consider putting the info back as it is completely accurate. Thanks.
SiouxsieHey Ericorbit, check the reasons why I changed the Siouxsie article on the discussion page of the article. I think I'm right, but read it please, probably I'm not. Phibrizoq 00:13, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I try to stick to articles related to musicians I like, but sometimes I stray away from those (the LeToya discography page, for instance - LeToya isn't even popular here, I remember the "Torn" video was on once, and I changed the channel pretty quickly). Keeping articles whose topics interest me free of fancruft, image problems and bad formatting is enough for me, though; gee, why can't I be a fan of obsure musicians from years gone by? :( I seem to gravitate toward prepackaged pop stars (many fans of whom unfortunately aren't aware of the policies, guidelines and want normally goes into - and stays out of - an encyclopedia) more than anything; speaking of which, would you mind taking a look at the Hilary Duff (album) article and leaving a comment at Wikipedia:Peer review/Hilary Duff (album)/archive1? The article's probably too long and poorly written, and I'd prefer if it wasn't, so please dive in wherever necessary! Please, I'm begging you! (Okay, I'm in a silly mood today...) Thanks! Extraordinary Machine 16:47, 6 November 2006 (UTC) faithless song movingcan i ask you to please stop moving the articles from (single) to (song), the title is incorrect as shown by Bombs (single). The article is about the single contains track listings for the single, and has an info box for the single, therefore calling it song is incorrect. Also please stop writing articles on a british subject from an American point of view (they should be from a neutral point of view). Also wikipedia's policy on English usage is that the form of English should be the same as the subjects origin, therefore since faithless are a British group, the articles should be in British english. --Chappy84 19:26, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Ericorbithi listen someone out there, brand new user is really messing up the whole madonna charts thing they are adding lots of stuff and changin it to the way they want it to look, should i revert? because hes also added some unsourced stuff, ive worked hard to have every chart in jump sourced and hes changed everything without discussion Rsf7589 00:54, 13 November 2006 (UTC) Jumpit was a little messy and i did some clean up on jump i did revert but i will add the info thats real and that has sources, but he must also learn to discuss in the page Rsf7589 01:33, 13 November 2006 (UTC) Vandalism warningsHello, there!

And partial becuase there are other singles that I am looking for to see how they did in other charts. And is only how they did in the USA because I focusing on this country since many single do not chart outside of this country and becuase is hard to find information about other countries music charts. About the colunms, so other users are kind enough to put the information on colunms for since I do not know how to do that.Angel,Isaac 18:16, 22 November 2006 (UTC) I understand and thank you for telling me. I do not want to see the performance on various charts, I just thought it would be useful for anybody who was looking for information on wikipedia about a certain song and see how it performed in other charts.Angel,Isaac 18:34, 22 November 2006 (UTC) could you help meI received permission to upload a picture from a photographer, but I do not know the tag I am supposed to use. I cannot seem to find it. He has not specific terms for this permision, so could you help find the proper tag I am supposed to use. Thanks for listening.Angel,Isaac 03:29, 23 November 2006 (UTC) 3RR warningPlease refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in Billboard Hot 100. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Metros232 15:47, 23 November 2006 (UTC) Gary S. PaxtonI appreciate your attention to this article, however you removed two catagories that Gary is clearly a part of. He had a top 100 hit with Alley Oop and he owns Garpax Records which is a Christian Music recording label. That is why the catagories were there. Again, I appreciate your efforts but I feel the catagories are legit and need to remain. Thank you Junebug52 16:27, 23 November 2006 (UTC) Probleim!!hi u may have noticed that the user Greco dani is vadalising a lot of cher pages recently hes been tryint to split the cher discography page after i specifically told him that a couple of months back an administrator told me to leave as it is he wont listen ive warned him like 3 times and he keeps deleting my proposals for deletion of the pages hes started, i need help to propose his blockin im tryint to find out how to do it but i cant find it Rsf7589 19:42, 24 November 2006 (UTC) About the Jay-Z thing.Hey, I knew it was probably going to be taken down even though it was obvious, but thanks for at least not getting up in the neck about it unlike some people do to edits I make...least you restored it.

Otherwise, it doesn't fit the criteria for fair use and it's a copyright violation. –ShadowHalo 06:22, 4 December 2006 (UTC) Scott McKenzie's chart topping song is incorrectly titled in the page heading. It should read "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)". (Source: * Guinness Book of British Hit Singles - 19th Edition - ISBN 1-904994-10-5). I do not know how to change the page, or what effect it would have on existing wikilinks etc. The sad thing is I am old enough to remember the track as a teenager ! Anyhow, can you oblige (please), or point me in the right direction ? Many thanks, Derek R Bullamore 20:16, 4 December 2006 (UTC) Chart trajectoriesHello, I have had several Billboard Hot 100 chart trajectories deleted from the song pages I have contributed to. Is this totally not allowed (publishing that information on Wikipedia), or is there a certain way that it has to be that I am missing? You posted a comment on one of my pages with two links to sites that would discuss this but I was unable to find any direction. Thanks for your help. -- Btrujillo0307 20:27, 5 December 2006 (UTC) Re: Chart trajectoriesThanks for the info! -- Btrujillo0307 20:45, 5 December 2006 (UTC) December 6That information is true. I know you say not to use another site besides Billboard but I have recieved numbers the night before the past 3 weeks and all three times it has been true. The site states that Beyonce is #1 this week with Irreplaceable. Akon is #2(I Wanna Love You) and #3(Smack That). Fergie jumped from #10-#4 and Justin/TI collabo is at #5. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.248.217.201 (talk) 03:31, 7 December 2006 (UTC). Good point... The person states it is the Hot 100... but who knows how trustworthy they are... Its not urgent information - and you can see i didn't change anything back :) Well - last week the statement "Irreplaceable is Beyonces 4th #1" was released. And people automatically assumed it was on the Hot 100. When - it was actually the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs.

I've stopped musical modificationsThank you for the warning. I should help add some bands from Europe to List of bands from Europe. Mewtwowimmer 23:39, 26 December 2006 (UTC) I think we need to enter into dialogue here. I rewrote the the Disco Inferno (The Trammps song) article as it had no information about The Trammps version at all - it was all irrelevant info about the Lauper cover. I then split the Lauper version of the article off as it is a released single which means we can write an encyclopedic article about it, not just that she's recorded a cover. You reverted that - redirecting the lauper article to the trammps song one. This means anyone who goes to the trampps song article gets a load of info about the lauper cover. It can be done, but not until the trammps song article has enough content so that people don't get confused as to what the song is about. I'm going to switch back to my versions as I feel they work better at this time. 20:38, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Derek R Bullamore 22:35, 5 January 2007 (UTC) Madonna discographyhi how are you, i was wondering if you can help me with a doubt i have...recntly some users have changed the numbers of sales in the madonna discography saying that if hung up got 8.6m points then according to the UWC they must take 42% of those points and the outcome would be the actual sales. but that doesnt make sense because i mentioned to them that wat if the song received more sales then airplay, airplay for the UWC counts as 55%...they cant just change numbers without knowing whether a song received more sales than airplay or vice versa, i tried changing the name of the caterogry to points instead of sales because many artist have it this way its simpler and more specific rather than having inaccurate sales Rsf7589 02:14, 6 January 2007 (UTC) Everyday PeopleThanks for noticing the Everyday People discrepancy. I had initially made an Everyday People page (when I was on my own computer, on the username Eptin). I then started changing all of the Everyday People links to go to the album page (because none currently referred to the Nicole C Mullens album). Lo and behold I later noticed that "Everyday People" by Sly and the Family Stone was actually a song, not an album. I then moved the "Album" page to a "Song" page, and changed all of the Sly links to redirect to the new Song page. This all took a while, but I think I'm finished. -- 71.112.6.128 08:40, 13 January 2007 (UTC) RHCP REHi, that isn't a Band Board but a board about chart and in that link are posted the billboard.biz news.Billboard.biz: PROGRESS REPORTS • The Red Hot Chili Peppers become the second act to twice top the Alternative chart with three songs from an album as "Snow ((Hey Oh))" climbs 2-1. "Snow" is the third straight track from "Stadium Arcadium" to ring the bell -- equaling the band's output from its 1999 album, "Californication." That matches the feat Green Day achieved with its 1994 set "Dookie" and 2004's "American Idiot": Both contained three chart-toppers ... Two bands take their maiden voyage on Alternative/Modern Rock, as the Kooks' "Naive" starts at No. 36 and Silversun Pickups bow at No. 40 with "Lazy Eye." ok ok i understand the problem, but i'm sure that your official billboard.biz will be the same that this "• The Red Hot Chili Peppers become the second act to twice top the Alternative chart with three songs from an album as "Snow ((Hey Oh))" climbs 2-1. "Snow" is the third straight track from "Stadium Arcadium" to ring the bell................" because it is from official billboard bullettin. Hello, me again.

Hi eo, I was wondering if you could update the Hot Dance Club Play position on the Play with Fire (song) article? I last updated it when billboard.biz could be accessed for free; the song could have risen since then, but it hasn't appeared on the top twenty-five and for some reason it isn't listed on Duff's chart history page. I don't want there to be an inaccurate out-of-date chart position on the article. If you can't access the info or don't want to for whatever reason, I won't mind. Thanks!

Hold On to the Nights articleHello, thanks for your contribution to the Richard Marx single article originally titled "Hold On to the Nights". Please note that I carefully named the article according to Wikipedia's guidelines: WP:ALBUM#Naming and WP:MUSTARD which states "Capitalize only those prepositions that are five or more letters long (e.g., through), are the first or last word of the title, or are part of a two-word phrasal verb (e.g., "Walk On")". Hence this article's title which is "Hold On ..." could retain the capitalization for the word "on". Do you think this should be reverted back to the original title? I had updated a few other links to this (non-existant at the time) article page, which may or may not be pointing to redirects now.

I had earlier deleted the entry since the guidelines noted at the top of the page (i.e., "Review Wikipedia notability guidelines before adding a listing") specifically state that it is refering to "Notability (people)." Despite what's been on the page in the past, this guideline tells me that the Deaths in 2007 article is for people, not animals (however notable). I suggest Wikipedia create a separate article for notable animal deaths, and not just for racehorses. I am interested in whether you agree or not with this interpretation of the guidelines. I think the horse death should not be on the article, but I think we need some consensus.
