Wikipedia, I have returned!
My life has taken a big turn earlier than scheduled, and I feel I am ready to return with a brighter, more patient attitude. However, to ensure I don't relapse back to my past passive-aggressive behavior, I have decided to become a more independent editor who will focus more on protecting articles rather than enhancing them, and I have also decided to drop out of any WikiProjects I have joined, participate in discussions only if I absolutely have to, and stop being a "helicopter editor" by delinking my e-mail account from my watchlist. These decisions may or may not be permanent, but I feel these are the best choices for me right now. Thank you for understanding.
Background
[edit]Before 25 January 2020, I edited under the name "Nowmusicfan2816". This name originated from my affinity of the Now That's What I Call Music! compilation series, specifically the British series. I believe this series has the strongest track lists. I first discovered the British series existed in 2007, but I didn't get interested in it until early 2010, which is when my interest in non-US hit music began. My favorite British Now! CDs are the first discs of volumes 27, 28, and 30; the second disc of volume 34; and the entirety of volumes 41, 49, and 60. The 28 in the username refers to my favorite edition of the US series: Now! 28. My other favorite homeland editions include the 2nd, 4th, 11th, 16th, and 30th ones. Finally, 16 used to be my favorite number until 28 took over (yes, there's a connection). I am also fond of the Canadian and New Zealand variants, as well as other compilation series, specifically Totally Hits (US), 100% Hits (Australia), Hit Machine (Australia), and So Fresh (Australia)—but only volumes released before 2015. Despite being a fan of all these series, I often remove any mentions of them in song articles since they usually fail WP:N and WP:V.
I started out editing articles for video games—specifically Nintendo games—then slowly moved over to music as my real-life interests changed. Even then, I only edited a few times a year. I started seriously editing in December 2017, making my thousandth edit in March 2018 by adding chart info to "Deep, Deep Trouble" by the Simpsons and my ten thousandth edit in August 2019 by adding the Canadian chart and certifications section to TLC's "Baby-Baby-Baby". In March 2023, I created my hundredth article, It Just Won't Do. Although I don't chiefly edit video game articles anymore, I still make an occasional edit if I see a grammatical goof or weakness. What can I say? I like to write. It's an impulse. Wikipedia helps satiate these urges when I'm not working on my own material. I hope to get a novel out there soon. Until then, I shall edit, cite, and nitpick.
On 25 January 2020, I changed my username to "ResolutionsPerMinute" because I had lost interest in my previous username, as I saw it as juvenile, impulsive, and a tad risky considering it looks like a password. This new username ("ResPM" for short) in a nod to the term revolutions per minute, and also to Canada's RPM Singles Chart, which ranked Canada's most popular singles from June 1964 to November 2000. Truth be told, I'm incredibly biased when it comes to that chart, but I don't let it show on articles; a lot of songs I like just charted highly on the magazine. Even though I now edit under a different name, I'm still the same person, so don't hesitate to get in touch. Please keep in mind, however, that communicating with other people is difficult for me because I have autism. When speaking with me, keep it simple; otherwise, I may misunderstand what you're saying or refuse to respond. Additionally, remember to ping me on other talk pages. I rarely respond to messages unless notified.
Below is a chart that illustrates how frequently I edit articles for songs released between 1960 and 2019. Everything before 1960 is "rarely", while everything after 2019 is "never", excluding vandalism.
What are my goals?
[edit]- Reverting vandalism and nonconstructive/disruptive edits to protect readers from misinformation, watchlisting articles if necessary
- Refusing to participate in edit wars, relying on the support of other Wikipedians, and reaching mature conclusions on controversial edits
- Expanding song articles to at least C-class status and reassessing when necessary
- Using proper grammar and enforcing consistency
- Creating articles for songs I believe deserve recognition (if I have the time and the info, that is)
- Creating redirect pages for songs I believe deserve recognition but do not have enough information to allow the creation of at least a start-class article
- Adding and citing missing music charts, applying Template:Single chart to messy tables if necessary
- Adding missing song certifications and applying Template:Certification Table Entry to messy tables if necessary
- Adding, citing, verifying, and trimming track listings and release history sections
- Adding cover arts for songs so people know they're in the right place
- Editing other articles not related to music if the need arises
Overall, I aim to help Wikipedia and Wikipedians gather as much information on popular music as much as I can, especially music from the 1990s and early 2000s.
Articles I've created

Redirect pages I've created
[edit]I created these pages as I could not find enough information about these popular songs to constitute at least a start-class article. My hope is that other users will be able to eventually gather enough information to turn these redirect pages into actual articles. If you want to make the transformation for one of these pages, what I'd like to see is this: A, or even better, this: B, but not this: C. If you do plan to make a stub-class article, make sure to add as much cited info as you can, please.
Note: This list does not include redirects to songs that already have an article.

Musical tastes
[edit]My favorite genre of music is alternative rock, especially from the 1990s and 2000s. Considering how rock music has changed over the 2010s, you won't find me editing a lot of recent-music articles (I'd say 2015 is my cutoff point). I also like pop, dance, and some hip hop/R&B, but I dislike American country music and a large chuck of rap music, especially trap. Sure, I do like a few songs from both of those genres (in fact, two of my favorite albums are country albums), but in general, I don't target articles with songs in those genres unless there's a mistake that needs tending to.
Favorite musicians: Kylie Minogue, Dido, Madonna, Matchbox Twenty, No Doubt, Janet Jackson
Favorite instruments: steel-string acoustic guitar, Hammond organ, steel drum, pan flute, didgeridoo
Favorite kinds of music: alternative rock (before 2010s), adult contemporary, teen pop (1990s/early 2000s only), new jack swing
Favorite album artworks: Radiator by Super Furry Animals, Return of Saturn by No Doubt, Here and Now by Nickelback
Favorite Eurovision winners: "Euphoria" by Loreen (2012), "Ein bißchen Frieden" by Nicole (1982), "Love Shine a Light" by Katrina and the Waves (1997)
Favorite video game soundtracks: Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon
Song that best describes me: "The Anthem" by Good Charlotte
