Your latest Edits on Thomas Anders page

[edit]

I kept some of your additional information that you had made on Thomas Anders page, however, you had a lot of info that didn't need to be there as they never became even remotely popular, for example: the projects that he was involved in on aside. As for the tour, I went into his official web site "www.thomas-anders.com" and double checked it. The tour that was given in the cities you had mentioned, was after his Souled album not in '87 or '88. And it was in front of 85,000 people altogether, not 85,000 per concert. Let's have everything we are adding into this page in a very clear way. I have spent hours rectifying all the info (that the page contained two months ago) and hours adding more info. Thanks.

Thomas Anders tour 1987-1988

[edit]

Thomas Anders toured as The Thomas Anders Show from April 1987 till February 1990 in stadium-like places: Katowice, Poland - April 1987; Budapest, Hungary - May 1987; Cesme, Turkey - July 1987; Moscow & St. Petersburg, USSR - October 4-10, 1987; Viña del Mar, Chile - February 21-22, 1988; Sun City, SAR - April 4, 1988; Viña del Mar, Chile - February 19-20, 1989; Eastern Germany - September 1989; Pretoria, SAR - October 12, 1989; Moscow,St. Petersburg, Kiev, Vilnius, Kaunas, Tbilisi, etc, USSR - February - March, 1990; Please see the back-cover of the official fan-club video-tape: http://www.thomasanders.ru/creative/discography/video/chile/chile_cov.htm

In 1996 Thomas Anders was involved in several dance-projects like Phantomas and Chain Reaction. It was a significant part of his career. Please see an interview given by the producer of the Phantomas-project Ramon Zenker (Fragma, Hardfloor) to www.moderntalking.ru (officially supported by BMG-Russia): http://www.moderntalking.ru/thomassolo/phantomas/interview2003_eng.htm


Different tour

[edit]

You're a refering to an entirely different tour, the cities you had mentioned the first time in the article which I kept but moved to a correct timeline match perfectly to the ones they mention in his official web site which is not after MT's first split but it is after Souled album. And before only 85,000 enthusiasts. The one you are mentioning includes some of the same cities plus lots others before a huge number of people,however.

I also read the interview through the help of your link (thanks), and it's clearly explained by Ramon that they stopped it becuase they saw no success in the near future. That's probably also why they don't bring it up in his official web site. So let's sleep on that info for now.

Let's keep in mind that normally the official web sites are controled by what artists desire to include in. So if it's not there, it's probably because Thomas doesn't feel it is important. Consequently, we don't want to fill the wikipedia with the kind of stuff that are not worth mentioning.

Take care, Harout72

Discography & World tour

[edit]

Please check info about Phantomas and Chain Reaction releases on: http://www.germancharts.com/showinterpret.asp?interpret=Thomas+Anders

Just note: Probably you misread the information about the world tour on the official site. After the Souled album Thomas Anders toured mostly in Germany and Russia. The world tour took place from Spring 1987 till February 1990.

Sincerely, Bolafik


Are we both refering to the same site?

[edit]

Thomas's official web site is www.thomas-anders.com. On the English version of the site, it talks of only one tour (click on the no. 4 of all numbers placed vertically). Whereas, the German version of the site mentions the same tour after souled as well as the tour given In chile in 1989. However, the one given after "Souled" is not just within Germany and Russia (tell me that you don't think Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipai are located within Russia nor Germany). So, as much as I respect an avid fan of Thomas Anders like yourself, please don't tell me I misread the TOUR INFO as I am fluent in both German and English.

I did check the Germancharts through your link, and it does not indicate chart positions on any of the releases, from which we could at least know how well the sales of the songs have been.


P.S. I never said I didn't believe that Thomas Anders was involved within other projects, but rather I said, they have never even remotely become popular. They are not worth mentioning. It's clear that YOU have MISREAD what I've written to you in the previous message (above).

Take care, Harout72

Please leave me your messages on my talk page and not yours. Thanks.

License tagging for Image:Thomas anders-how deep is your love cover.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Thomas anders-how deep is your love cover.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Modern Talking us cov.jpg}

[edit]

Thank you for uploading Image:Modern Talking us cov.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Hi Bolafik. I've deleted a couple of the tags but my views on notability tend to be relatively narrow, so I've left that one there. If someone else deletes the notability tag I will not dispute it further. Bongomatic (talk) 15:51, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Christian de Walden

[edit]

Hi Bolafik

Thanks for pointing me to your edits to Christian de Walden. My view may not be a consensus one, but I think for a producer to be notable he has to be someone:

  1. who meets the traditional WP:N criteria of "significant coverage in reliable [independent] sources";
  2. who has won awards for production (not someone who has produced award-winning songs); or
  3. who is recognized to be responsible for a major sound (see, for example, Daniel Lanois.

Note that WP:MUSIC doesn't address producers.

While the statements in the article are well-supported, the article doesn't assert anything that I would consider to be notable. Happy to have a look any time.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Thomas Anders, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sun City (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
