== Hi ==
I think you could be the saddest person i have ever talked to EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't understand what language they were speaking, but IIRC someone called you something and you were blushing. That's why I thought it must be a sugary name... None comes close to Jalebi right? It must be the Best Thing You "Ever" Had. — Legolas(talk2me)11:04, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What the fuck is that? By the way, keep an eye on UltraBeyonce, seems like a sock. I will visit the FAC tomorrow again. Tonight I have a party. He he, if you want true tea/coffee try rosogolla someday. — Legolas(talk2me)11:13, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OMG, i love that cake. Gonna have some today as i am going to a Tamil marriage. UltraBeyonce owns a blog for Beyonce. Have fun Legolas. Take care. May God bless you and your beloved ones. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 11:16, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Tamil marriage? Where? I don't like Tamil marriages actually as most of them are Vegeteranian items. I'm quite the anti-Veg you can say, lol. By the way, will you please try to tone down your talkpage Jivesh? I don't want you to get into trouble with creating a shrine for Bee. Lol, you have every right to, but its Wikipedia, ya'know. Look at what happened to Axl. Trouble always find its way to us it seems. :( — Legolas(talk2me)11:19, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Lol. We fast three days a week here. My General Paper teacher is getting married. The boy is Hindu but they want to do both types of rituals, etc. Avi, it is preferable i listen to you. I will tone it down. What should i remove? Everything? Jivesh1205 (Talk) 11:23, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You fast three days a week? Jivesh, you have seen how slim I am, I would have simply dropped dead had I been living there, lol. And nahh, don't have to remove everything, just tone all those overtly references. Keep Bey's pictures, its just too beautiful. — Legolas(talk2me)11:28, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Slim and you? Lol. I am joking. Do come to my country one day. You can stay at my home without paying for anything (but bring your wife as well. I have never seen how she looks like). You are most welcome. I will tone the page down but as you said, i will keep the eye candies. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 11:31, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You stay in one of the most beautiful countries, of course I have to visit it someday... Probably when I'm 35 but that's a different story, lol. — Legolas(talk2me)11:33, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If their only availability or notability is YouTube, then I'm afraid they are not notable. I did not use You Tube to source the covers. What i meant was that they were covered by reliable sources but the latter did not leave critical comment worth adding. Some of them are simply too fancrufty. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 17:49, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I'm confused as to why you dont think the album etymology I provided for TFM should not be included in the article. I know you say it's repeated - but it provides a clear consensus as to what song is represented by what monster. And isn't that basically the core meaning of the album? How each song is represented by a different monster that Gaga encountered. - Christianrxx — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christianrxx (talk • contribs) 18:55, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Cherish
I struck most of the comments in the review and just about ready to pass. There are two remaining parts I can't quite get my head around and I've left a note. I also fiddled a little more with parts of the prose, but by all means revert anything that doesn't work or you don't like. The only other thing, given that copyright issues can be such a pain, if you could provide the text of two of your refs at the review just to show that the sources have been checked. This isn't because I don't believe your refs, by the way, but I always like to be sure of sourcing at GA and I can't check them otherwise. Thanks, and it was oddly enjoyable reviewing this! --Sarastro1 (talk) 20:52, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
... odd spacey video-game synths sporadically zoom in and out, but for the most part, the arrangement is spare and stark. Knowles's vocals are the meat of the track.Jivesh1205 (Talk) 14:28, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The reviewer is finding similarity between the synths in the song to those played in video-games, however that does not disperse from the fact that Knowles' vocals form the back-bone of SL and the arrangement surprisingly comes as light, instead of dense. — Legolas(talk2me)14:48, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Avi, i have done everything the way you wanted. Please check one by one. I searched the web and filtered 40+ pages and finally found things to add. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 14:58, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Mark's right, she just performed it on Ellen, there's nothing notable about it since she performed it like countless time on other shows and venues as well. It is fine not to mention the name in the lead, it iwll be present in the body as well. — Legolas(talk2me)07:16, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Will you please have a look at the FAC and check whether i have addressed all your concerns or not? All the quote boxes have been removed as well. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 07:22, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Legolas! How's it going? I have passed "Oh Father". Great work! I wrote a couple of final comments that you can read on the review page. Cool, look forward to working with you again sometime soon. Take care, Moisejp (talk) 06:39, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Legolas. I'm glad you enjoyed the last review so much. About "Like a Prayer", sure, I'd love to look at it and give you feedback. Are you taking it to FAC right away? Did you want me to look at it during FAC as a reviewer, or give you some feedback before you take it to FAC? For an article of that length (wow, it's 100,000 bytes!) I'm sure it would take me several days at least to give it a thorough review—which would fine with me, depending on how much of a hurry you're in. But just skimming it now, it looks pretty interesting, so, yeah, I'd definitely be interested in being involved in one way or another. Just let me know! Talk again soon, Moisejp (talk) 17:08, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I'll have a look at it soon. Looking forward to it. So what kind of timeline are you thinking for when you want to bring it to FAC? Or are you just going to play it by ear? Moisejp (talk) 04:51, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Legolas. How are things? OK, I'll start looking at "Like a Prayer" very soon. I do want to review four more GAs this month so that I can get one of those nifty spinning Tireless Contributor Barnstars. How did you get so many barnstars, by the way? I'm jealous. :-) Oh well, you've got about ten times as many GAs under your belt as I do, so I guess I can't complain. Anyway, I'll fit "Like a Prayer" in around my GA reviews.
Speaking of GA Reviews, "Dear Jessie" is done, and it is On Hold. Just let me know when you're done fixing that up! Talk again soon, Moisejp (talk) 05:18, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Legolas. Yes, of course I remember "Like a Prayer"—very good song! I even vaguely remember about the controversy surrounding it, but I look forward to refreshing my memory about the details as I read through the article. Good job on "Dear Jessie"—it is now a GA. OK, I'll be talking to you again very soon either here or on the "Like a Prayer" Talk page. Take care, Moisejp (talk) 18:10, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
DYK for Oh Father
On 10 December 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Oh Father, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the scene showing a dead woman with her lips sewn shut, in the music video for the song "Oh Father", was inspired by singer Madonna's memory of her mother's funeral? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Oh Father.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
I meant to do this the second I saw the article for "Oh Father" which just happens to be my fave Madonna song. Oh and yes I heard "Masterpiece" leaked, it sounds like a bit of Music and Something to Remember ish. Simply stunning and the work you have done on Like a Prayer is definitely the best yet and I cannot wait for the work on I'm Breathless to start, it isn't my favorite period either but it spawned "Sooner or Later" and probably the best Academy Award performance of all time, so I am looking forward to seeing that! I saw that you didn't like "Give Me All Your Love", I think your right. I wish she would start experimenting again like she did in the late nineties with Ray of Light or something, it just sounds a bit too generic for a Queen to perform! -FeuDeJoie (talk) 12:56, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
On 12 December 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Dear Jessie, which you created or substantially expanded.

Listen dude, I have no time for this tomfoolery. I don't care what Dev has said or wants, but these are fan sites and spam links and are NOT considered reliable as per WP:RS. I have said above also what constitutes reliable sources and you have time and again failed to pay attention to it and have chosen to add such fancrufty sources and unsourced content. I have reported you at WP:AIV. Please stop doing such additions lest you face a block. — Legolas(talk2me)17:32, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
TELEGRAPH shows that the official website for Dev has been launched like that of other actors & YouTube shows that Dev is celebrating the launch of his website with images! It means that what www.devthesuperstar.com is providing is correct! So the information is all true! His twitter account also shows that! & what do u think newspaper would provide all the information about him??? His official pages would know better about him! You just can't stop or hide the correct information! WHAT'S RIGHT WILL ALWAYS BE RIGHT! TRUTH ALWAYS PREVAILS! I am providing reference to the edits too! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sohompramanick (talk • contribs) 17:42, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Just to prove how idiotic your comments are, this link says: "Sayantan Roy, a 21-year-old amateur web designer and a fan of Tollywood’s newest heartthrob Dev, has built www.devthesuperstar. com. 'I had created an Orkut community last January, which proved a rage with 8,180 members. So I created this website and approached Devda to launch it. I get calls from fans daily, even from Bangladesh.” The site is the base for a fan club with a paid membership." It clearly says that www.devthesuperstar.com is a fansite and not Dev's official site. Get it? Hence it cannot be added. And stop writing in capitals here and sign your posts. Else don't post here. — Legolas(talk2me)17:50, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I really don't care what this Dev person thinks. The website is a fansite. You add it one more time, you will be indefinitely blocked from editing. You have crossed all limit now. — Legolas(talk2me)18:13, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Legolas, as inept and incorrect those edits are, I don't think they're libelous, for instance, and you seem to be guilty of edit-warring. Please consider this a friendly warning, but a warning nonetheless. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 18:15, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I just caught it! Thanks again Drmies. Sohom if you are reading this, please listen to reason. You are moving towards getting blocked. I have explained time and again to you that fansites are NOT acceptable in Wikipedia. Please go through policy WP:RS again. — Legolas(talk2me)18:20, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
On your case again...
...sorry, but I am. Through something completely unrelated I saw this edit of yours. It's not helpful, and I think you should remove it. If you check the history of that talk page you'll see that I've had a run-in with that editor as well, and he is on a short leash (with Qxyrxian and me). Your message can be seen as baiting, and that's not something we need with a disruptive and problematic editor: it either provokes or, later, it exculpates (if they're ever blocked, they can say they were insulted etc. and that might boomerang back on you). I hope you understand where I'm coming from. That editor has the capacity to irk people into anger, and the best thing to do is to not enter into a mudslinging contest. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 20:37, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for joining being uninvited. But yes, you should also talk to him. It is good to know that we also have a life outside Wikipedia and that it does not feel great to be harassed by such editors every time we log in. Sorry for my honesty. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 05:37, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sushmita Sen
I appreciate the offer. Don't know if I can keep up with you though, haha. Right now I have DDLJ up for GA. Is there a formal definition of collaboration, or what exactly did you have in mind? BollyJeff||talk19:02, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
BollyJeff, I will be starting with principal draft soon and then I will notify you guys. You can also search for info, though I think we need to have a discussion regarding reliable sources and access to books, journals, magazines etc. I need to research and gather all these information and then only I will advance. — Legolas(talk2me)04:00, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Jivesh, here's how you can construct the sentence: "[Reviewer name] felt that although Knowles' vocals were always omnipresent within layers of music, it was the only intermittent link between the ever-changing composition of the song". — Legolas(talk2me)12:12, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Can it fit in a composition section? Legolas, didn't the reviewer want to say that several vocals are layered on one another in the final chorus? Jivesh1205 (Talk) 15:52, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the barnstar :) I love Lady Gaga since 2008 but I've never edited her articles here. I'm also interested in sales and chart positions so I will try to fix/update few things as I did today. Max24 (Talk) 15:59, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The Monster Award — You are the ultimate Monster of editing
Well done, and congratulations for your exceptional contributions. Your edits to the Lady Gaga Wikiproject have been truly inspirational to others. Paws up!
Hello Legolas, it's Theologiae. I just wanted to pass by, and give you my new Lady Gaga Award, which, if you can see on User:Theologiae/Sandbox 3, I'm working on based on the Madonna ones you created. Do you want to have a look? By the way, I modified the Bedtime Story page, if you want to see?
Hi Ajona, sorry if my explanation was not clear. I want the references to be formatted properly. Now, there are two ways of doing that. I can do dummy edits and show you what needs to be done or I can point them here. I prefer the first one and would do that. — Legolas(talk2me)04:08, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I thought I have fixed all the formatting for the references, it took me several hours but I did it a couple days ago. Is there anything that sticks out? Best, Jonayo!Selena 4 ever15:42, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I seriously cannot believe it has been 5 years since Hard Candy was released. When the press releases and shit said so I was very confused and then I realized it actually has been. I'm so very anxious for the song, for numerous reasons. 1) It is really her first release in the post-Gaga's fame era. 2) It might be really bad.
The song seems way too safe to me, but at the same time - if she did anything too ballsy - "MADONNA COPIES LADY GAGA" headlines. (Pathetic... yeah, but probably would still happen).
All these conflicting rumors are NOT helping. First, the song is completely different from the demo. Now, reports are saying that it isn't, and it is just extended and has a bit alt lyrics and chanting in the background. And a song called "Girls Gone Wild" Madge? I really need another "Ray of Light" here, or at least "Music". I have a feeling this album will be like Goodbye Lullaby; amazing songs mixed with so-so mainstream songs to make people buy the album.
Seriously though: Madge's main audience is really her elder audience. Unless she releases two lead singles, someone's about to get alienated.
And really at the title? The other one was WAY better. I under the "Luvin" part, because of the L-U-V, but it just looks gross and immature to me.
SIGH.
I don't think I could handle an album full of "Masterpiece"'s and then "Gimme All Your Luvin" randomly in there. I guess we can just be glad it's not "Gimme All Ur Luvin"...
But seriously, what fan that doesn't follow her day to day is gonna know this album is "Ray of Light 2" with "Gimme All Your Luvin"? She doesn't need hit singles anymore. She's proven herself. Just release another "Frozen" and call it a day. Her tour will sell millions, and her album will too.
Yes, that is true. Music is like this as well. (Which, I still can't get over the amazing style for the artwork that era) Yeah, I don't know the whole story, but it seems like something happened that made Madge not want to do anything for Warner. :L That came off with the new songs on Celebration, tbh (the quality I mean). Yeah, it was in my head for a while. I felt like I was driving down the road in my car listening to it. :L The fact that she is also working with nobodies (director of the video, photographer of the artwork, etc) gives me home. And yes, the Interscope deal. <3 I wish Live Nation's label happened though. I was excited for it. I hope Shakira gets her ass away from Epic like Madge did Warner when her time comes. Also, the album title: Mirror, M and MADONNA have been reportedly tossed around. Personally, I would think it amazing for a second self-titled album. Starting afresh, but I'd still prefer Masterpiece as the title. Did you see her new store? New logo perhaps?
And yeah, I'm super glad she is really promoting. Bitch just won't stop. It's not like she was sitting around drinking tea for 5 years. She did a two year tour, released a greatest hits album/DVD and a live album, opened a fitness gym, did clothing line stuff with her daughter, and most of all - filmed a movie. When will she ever tire? D: Oh, and she, of course, looks amazing.
Madge would do 80s inspirations right. I mean, she did start her career in the 80s. I don't remember who did it, but the same person who designed Confessions and Hard Candy are doing the booklet design. Let us pray that she doesn't disappoint like Hard Candy. "Masterpiece" is a step in the right direction. — Status {talkcontribs16:32, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
