hitparadeitalia.it & it-charts.150m.com
It appears that it-charts.150m.com is a sister site of hitparadeitalia.it 48Pills (talk) 22:54, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- @48Pills: What makes you say that? D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 23:58, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
Doggy54321 In the article I Will Always Love You, the search came across <ref name="iwalyitaly">{{cite web|url=http://it-charts.150m.com/numeriuno-1990.htm|title='I Will Always Love You' on Italian Singles Chart|publisher=hitparadeitalia.it|date=Dec... ...rchive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110707055417/http://it-charts.150m.com/numeriuno-1990.htm|arc... and using the archive page link then clicking on HOME, see in the top left corner of the archived page is a logo for hitparadeitalia. 48Pills (talk) 01:01, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- @48Pills: Ahh makes sense. Do you want to bring this up at WP:RSN? I don’t really feel comfortable removing sources without consensus that they are unreliable first. All the sources we’ve removed so far have been determined unreliable by consensus. D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 11:35, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
Are you in any doubt that they are pretty much one and the same site? If so, take it to WP:RSN, if not, we simply add it to our list alongside hitparadeitalia. I am in favour of the latter. 48Pills (talk) 11:33, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- @48Pills: I’m not in doubt that they are correlated. But, with all the other sources, we have a policy to link to, whether that be WP:CHARTS, WP:SOCIALMEDIA or WP:USERG. We don’t have any *leverage* with it-charts, though. That’s why, if we get a consensus, we can link to that, and the material is less likely to be challenged. D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 13:26, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Can I leave the decision up to you? 48Pills (talk) 14:36, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- @48Pills: If you want to remove it, do so. I’ll make a separate section in the sandbox with an insource link. Make sure to include in your edit summary that HitParadeItalia and It-Charts are correlated, and that HPI is unreliable. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 17:12, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Already have. 48Pills (talk) 17:38, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
problem
every time i try to add an image for an album, it won’t let me. this article CB5 needs an image for the album cover. could you put it and then teach me how to do it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.36.59.228 (talk) 23:19, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hey! Only autoconfirmed users can upload images. This excludes a small amount of registered accounts and all IP addresses. For those two groups, requests for images to be uploaded should be made at Files for Upload. You should try those, as uploading images is a very long process for me, as I edit via iPad. If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 23:53, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
Yeah, it doesn’t work. Could you do the CB5 mixtape cover this time? Also, I would like to say when I tried to create the article Fr Fr, it wouldn’t let me, it needs to be redirected to Rolling Papers 2. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.36.59.228 (talk) 01:40, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
For sure! Autoconfirmed users are the only ones who can create articles, so I’ll do that one as well. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 15:14, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Uploading a new version of an image with no difference?
Doggy, I must admit I'm very confused as to why you felt the need to upload a new version of File:Zara Larsson - Poster Girl.png several days ago. You said in your summary that "Uploading a PNG version as that is preferred over JPG". While true, the editor before you, @Lk95:, uploaded a PNG. You would not have been able to replace the image otherwise (I said in my revert summary that Lk95 uploaded a JPG, but that is a typo—I meant PNG). PNGs cannot be uploaded over the same upload as a JPG. I see more visual clarity and brighter colours in the version Lk95 uploaded, and yours is only one KB smaller. There's no reason to have replaced it, so I have reverted to Lk95's revision. Ss112 13:38, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Ss112: Oh lol, I guess it all came down to the communication. The JPG version was due to be deleted in a certain amount of days because it was "orphaned" (the rationale said it was to be used in Poster Girl (Zara Larsson album)), and no one bothered to update the rationale when the file was used at Poster Girl (album). I noticed all of this, and I thought "well, a PNG version is preferred over a JPG version, and the JPG version is already tagged for deletion, so I could do one of two things. I could update the rationale and have the JPG version in the article, or I could upload the preferred version (PNG), and let the JPG version be deleted". I decided to do the latter, and went to upload the PNG. As I uploaded the PNG, I got a warning saying "you are about to override a file". I assumed this was overriding the JPG file, and pressed the button to override it, unintentionally overriding Lk95's version (which was previously orphaned and should have been tagged for deletion, but that’s beside the point). Anyways, it doesn’t matter now, as the PNG version is being used. Thanks for the message! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 13:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
Removing citations from albums list
Doggy54321, thank you for starting to purge citations from some of the album lists, starting with List of 2011 albums. I am currently still working on the accessibility edits we have discussed, and will be for a month or more, I think. When I am done, I still won't move in on purging citations, as I am neutral on their need but don't see the need to follow up with their removal. I will let you and others purge them as needed, or not add them for new listings as desired, but I won't be joining in. I do thank you for reviewing the articles and redirecting the non-notable articles. I like that solution rather than leaving a tag that it requires more citations and following up weeks or months later to see if anyone did anything. Mburrell (talk) 04:55, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Mburrell: No problem! That makes sense, I can see why you would say that. I’m pretty neutral as well, but if it reduces the article size and saves us from splitting the article, I’m all for it. The accessibility edits usually remove a couple thousand bytes per month, mainly due to the removal of the producers column, so that’s another way to reduce the size. You’re welcome, I thought it would be better to check for notability beforehand, just in case. Thanks so much for the follow up! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 13:01, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
KCA infobox
I'd seen your recent edits (such as this) removing small text from the infobox on 2021 Kids' Choice Awards. Not arguing with it or anything, but just curious if there's any MOS or guideline or previous discussion about this, or possibly just a 'standard'/'normal'. I know previous KCA articles have small text in the infobox, but would love additional confirmation that small text should not be used in the infoboxes. Thanks. Magitroopa (talk) 19:36, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Reliable site?
Do you know if Zobbel.de has been looked into as a possible dubious source? 48Pills (talk) 03:08, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- @48Pills: No, I haven’t. What makes you say that it could potentially be unreliable? D☘️ggy54321 (just shamrockin') 15:19, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
I have no evidence either way, I just thought whoever compiled that list must have had some way of checking sites out. 48Pills (talk) 01:20, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
I have been looking for ages now, but can't find that new list of things you made for us to help clean up? 48Pills (talk) 04:48, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- @48Pills: Sorry, I had meant to respond after reading your first message and then something else grabbed my attention. I simply copy and pasted most of the list from WP:CHARTS#Websites to avoid, and that is why you see so much of that at User:Doggy54321/sandbox2. The rest of the headers I compiled myself, after seeing various unreliable sources used in articles. As well, the very last source under "Other sources" is the one you suggested above. Hope this clears things up! D☘️ggy54321 (just shamrockin') 12:05, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
Oh yeah, thanks. I thought your list of things for us to do was longer, oh well. Must make a note of that, Sandbox2. 48Pills (talk) 17:56, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
- @48Pills: No problem! Don’t worry, there are many unreliable sources on Wikipedia, I’m not running out! Yes, sandbox2 is the home base for everything. Thanks! D☘️ggy54321 (just shamrockin') 17:59, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

- @Robert McClenon: Hey! Thanks for reviewing the draft. I completely understand where you’re coming from in regard to the song being unreleased, but I’ve generally found that Swift articles tend to be notable before release (she's popular enough that many news outlets report on it within a couple hours). With regard to the notability, I see that you deemed the article not notable because the references
do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject
. I know there are only four published, reliable, secondary sources (which, don’t you only need two to pass GNG?) that show significant coverage, but I can provide about a dozen more if needed. I’m not trying to argue that the draft should be accepted here, because clearly you know more about this than I do, but I’m just wondering if I add all of these sources, would that be enough to pass notability guidelines? If you could please clarify that for me, that would be great. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 23:22, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Artwork
Can you put artwork/cover for the articles Like I Want You and Viral Moment? It’s kind of killing me honestly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:510:F380:D8E9:4328:7704:D639 (talk) 02:07, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hey! Definitely! I found a cover for "Like I Want You" that is backed up by a reliable source, so I’ll upload that, but I couldn't find any reliable sources for a "Viral Moment" cover. The only source I could find is Genius, and Genius is unreliable on Wikipedia. If you could find a reliable source that gives the cover, I'd be happy to upload that as well. Thanks!

Criticism of Taylor Swift Appearing on The Main Page every 3 days - by User:Billyshiverstick
Hello Doggy. Taylor Swift's media interns are abusing Wikipedia to boost their social media numbers and corporate profit by posting so many "Did You Know's". In the SEO trade, we call that "stuffing". It is also called gaming the system. After I suggested they cool it, they did another one 3 days later. Wikipedia is weak on communication. I would have left her media company a message, if that was possible. Talk page is my only resource. My first message was funny, not snarky. Your posts run towards sanctimonious. Whatever. Why don't you use your time to get to the bottom of why a corporation is using Wikipedia as a profit centre? Billyshiverstick (talk) 23:15, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
No. I can tell you right now that the information you have provided is false. Everyone who is involved with Swift's Wikipedia pages enough to nominate articles for GA, FA, DYK and more are very experienced editors. They all know that, if you are being paid to edit Wikipedia, you must disclose that on your userpage, per PAID. I see no disclosure on any of their pages, and therefore, they do not work for Swift. I would be very shocked if one of them turned out to be a paid editor who hasn't disclosed their editing, as that would be a serious violation of a very important policy. Now, you haven't provided any evidence for any of your so-called "claims", so that can come across as assuming bad faith to editors who just want to make Wikipedia better. Please provide evidence for your claims before making them again, or else that could be seen as a personal attack. Thanks! D🐰ggy54321 (the Easter bunny has been summoned...) 23:22, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
Well doggy, maybe they are just over-eager fans, although interns are often unpaid. I brought this discussion to the Taylor Swift Project talk page, which I noticed you on. Please go and read my point there, and further that discussion, if you like. Wikipedia's Main Page is a community resource. If Taylor Swift gobbles up that resource, for whatever reason, it isn't available for other people. There is no way Taylor Swift should appear on the Main Page more than once a year, and then, only if there is some reason to. regards Billyshiverstick (talk) 23:51, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Billyshiverstick: There are other spaces to take this criticism/assumption than essentially telling dedicated editors to stop working on things they find interesting: DYK talk page, COI noticeboard, etc. However, I suggest you
strikethe statement "Taylor Swift's media interns are abusing Wikipedia to boost their social media numbers and corporate profit by posting so many 'Did You Know's'" unless you have evidence, as this probably qualifies as a personal attack ("Accusations about personal behavior that lack evidence"). Heartfox (talk) 01:14, 3 April 2021 (UTC)- @Billyshiverstick: From that statement, it’s clear you don’t know how DYK works. An article is only allowed to be featured on the DYK page if it meets one of the three DYK criteria. The article must have either been created in the past seven days, been expanded fivefold (expanded so much that it is five times the size of the article beforehand) in the past seven days, or been promoted to GA status in the past seven days to be eligible for a DYK nomination. Fortunately, the topic of Taylor Swift has a ton of dedicated editors who are willing to do the work so that lots of articles can appear on DYK. I will reiterate that most Wikipedia editors are volunteers who just one day decided to start editing to improve the encyclopedia. None of us could intern for Swift anyways, because that would be a conflict of interest. If you think there needs to be a limit on how many DYKs there should be on a certain subject, you can take that to Wikipedia talk:Did you know. Swift herself doesn’t do anything to Wikipedia, once again citing WP:COI. Thanks! D🐰ggy54321 (the Easter bunny has been summoned...) 01:22, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Billyshiverstick: I have no idea what you're on, and quite frankly it's laughable that you think Taylor Swift would hire interns to game the front page of Wikipedia when they don't even need us for their promotion and whatsoever. You have no evidence of this "stuffing" you talk about; besides it's common for us over at WikiProject Music to nominate music-related articles on DYK once. If you have an issue with this, you can bring it on somewhere else. Just like what Heartfox said, don't accuse dedicated editors for wanting to help WikiProjects when you have no clear evidence.

@VersaceSpace: It's just a prejudice I have. I hate seeing tiny Infoboxes (example), I would much rather see Infoboxes at their expanded size (example). A smaller Infobox happens when there isn't enough information to make the Infobox expanded, and it can usually be expanded by adding a parameter. I know it doesn't make that much sense, but I just prefer the second example. Sip It (song) has a smaller Infobox as there wasn't enough information to expand it, and I was just curious if that was what you needed, for me to expand it. Thanks!

- @VersaceSpace: Ooh, love your new signature! I always try to get the highest qualities available and just use a pixel reducer to reduce the pixels to whatever I want, which is always 300x300px, and I upload those ones. I use this one, and a bonus of using that one is it always converts the file to PNG format, so I know I'm uploading the best type of image every time I use it. Hope this helps!

can u fix angels like u release hstoru. it has been released in the uk, italy, and australia. also in netherlands because of being on the top 40 dutch radio chart but we don't have a date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr. Peck s (talk • contribs) 13:18, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Mr. Peck s: I removed the U.K. radio date as it was not official. If you want me to add a Dutch radio date, please provide a source first. I don't read Dutch and my Google Chrome's ability to translate entire web pages seems to be broken, so if you could provide a source, I would be more than happy to add that for you. Thanks! D🐰ggy54321 (the Easter bunny has been summoned...) 13:44, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
Hello. BBC radio add dates are always included in articles. Check Prisoner, Midnight Sky, and all singles by major artists. Also, discgogs is not a reliable source according to wiki guidelines, i can edit it and make up a release. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr. Peck s (talk • contribs) 13:45, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Mr. Peck s: Self-trout: I completely forgot that Discogs was user-generated. But, how does this affect your ability to cite a Dutch radio release? If it does, that probably means it was never official in the first place, and shouldn't be added. Moving on, including radio dates by BBC is not encouraged and should be halted immediately, as BBC chooses the songs that are on that playlist. To be official, record labels are the ones who have to choose what songs to push and which stations their songs get pushed to. Otherwise, it's not official. For more info, see the point about official radio releases at WP:SINGLE?. Thanks! D🐰ggy54321 (the Easter bunny has been summoned...) 13:52, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

- Okay, thanks for the clarification! To be honest, I would like to take a step back from determining single status for a while, as I have been doing a lot of that recently, and I'm really tired of it, as I find it really draining. If you want to continue to have the opinion that "Don't Forget" isn't a single and you would like to change that on the page, by all means, go ahead, but I would like to let you know that I would prefer to not help with that for now, as well as any other single-status deciding discussions. If you want, you can ask other editors to help you. I know of some great ones who can do that, and, if you want, I can give you the usernames of some of them so you can get assistance. If not, you can also ask questions at the Teahouse. I'm sorry, I'm just really burnt out. Thank you in advance for being understanding! Thanks D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 23:01, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

List of most-viewed French music videos on YouTube and List of most-viewed Arabic music videos on YouTube
Hello, I reverted your edits, but i removed kworb.net. Sorry. --Manchesterunited1234 (talk) 22:49, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Manchesterunited1234: Hey! Thanks for letting me know. I assume this was all done with good intentions, but since the tables don't have any sources to source the rankings (i.e. the part sourced only by Kworb, as they collected and published the data), that is now considered synthesis of material (not allowed) and still needs to be removed. I understand where you were coming from, and I really appreciate how you were bold with your editing, but synthesis is just not allowed. I'm going to propose a compromise, to list the music videos in list form. That way, we're not letting the rankings stand (as that is against policy), but we can still keep the music videos. Let me know what you think about this. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 22:55, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- How to do, and i see all videos on YouTube links.--Manchesterunited1234 (talk) 16:19, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
- Even though all the views are there on YouTube through the links, the rankings are the part that is synthesis. We can list that Video 1 has 150 views and that Video 2 has 75 views, but unless there is a source that says Video 1 has more views than Video 2, we can't list that as that would be synthesis.

Hello!!! I've been working on this article Libertad (Agoney album) and I would lime to ask you for some help, the album peaked n1 in Spain (see elportaldemusica.es), and had some critical reception, which I'm struggling to, I don't know why all the edits I do doesn't show up, maybe wifi problems, nevermind... Thank you!!!! MikaelEmanuelsson (talk) 19:14, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

New peaks on charts
Hi Doggy. I've noticed in the past few days you've been reverted a number of times by Lk95 for using single chart templates before the charts linked actually update. Like Lk95 and other users like myself do, please provide an external source (can be added in the note= param of the single chart template) before Billboard or whichever chart you're updating actually updates at the link the single chart template generates, as this information needs to be verifiable at the time it's added. Thanks. Ss112 17:39, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- You're right, thank you! I already have it noted down that external sources for {{album chart}} go after the M, external sources with {{single chart}} go in a note parameter, and external sources for discography pages go below the peak position (using <br/>), so I can be ready for tomorrow's charts. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 17:54, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- I'm confused. What charts are you planning to provide external sources for tomorrow? Ss112 18:13, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- I was just saying that I had the correct procedures noted down. I wanted you to understand that, just in case tomorrow's Billboard 200/Hot 100 charts need external links, I am prepared for that too, as I have taken your advice and written it down so I know for the times after this where I need to use this method. Sorry for the confusion! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 18:23, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- Doggy, this is getting frustrating. I don't mean to sound rude, but I was already editing Taylor Swift singles discography when you decided to add an "in use" tag and add the rest of the peaks to it. I don't know why you've suddenly decided to start adding Hot 100 peaks and everything to Wikipedia when you haven't really done this before, but I'm sorry, I don't wish to run into edit conflicts or try to compete with people. So please don't make it a competition. I've been updating this data for months and now to have you on every page a couple of minutes later is already frustrating. Ss112 20:06, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- Ok, I'll stop. I was just trying something new, but I'll stop if it causes you frustration, as that was never my intention and I don't want you to be frustrated by my edits. D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 20:27, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry, I'm not trying to sound like a gatekeeper of anything. I acknowledge you're editing in good faith, it's just frustrating to run into edit conflicts and unexpected is all. It's also hard to tell if other people are doing the same thing sometimes so I get why you might have started doing these chart updates. Ss112 20:30, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Rosé pictures and Wikimedia categories
Hi! I used to be Blinkpinkfan but moved.
Could you help me approve two images of Rosé on her Wikimedia page? One unde 2021 and also I created a 2020 image page for her, but it shows up as a seperate category? (see here at P page)
Could you maybe fix it? Thanks! Beulagpinkeu (talk) 18:58, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Beulagpinkeu: Hi! The 2020 category is probably in a separate place because it is currently empty. If there's a way you can add an image to that category and check back, that would be great as that is my main suspicion. I'm not sure what you're asking with the 2021 image, could you please clarify what you would like me to do? Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 19:09, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
I mean review them both for proper use on the wiki. Beulagpinkeu (talk) 19:46, 23 April 2021 (UTC) Update: I put the 2020 image in its respective category, but still no change, what should I do? Beulagpinkeu (talk) 20:55, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- I tried the same thing. I have made a total of two edits to Wikimedia Commons, so I don't think I can review the images. A great place to ask both of these questions would be the Teahouse, since I have absolutely no clue how to do either of these. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 21:42, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
Happier Than Ever
I apologize if my language was a bit extreme. Considering the usually smooth working relationship we have, it caught me off guard that you (manually) reverted my additions twice. Clearly our interests on Wikipedia overlap and it would be best we get along and avoid conflict.—NØ 21:04, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
- @MaranoFan: No need to apologize! One of the reverts was restored, I just moved the content to a different place, and the other one was because no sources existed that called the song "Happier Ever After" at that time. Yes, I do believe we need to get along, considering how many times we interact, however I don't believe that two manual reverts is conflict. If I wanted to make it clear I wanted to revert your edit, I would have used the undo button. No hard feelings. D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 23:12, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi! On the betty page, the song is put as lowercase, so can I please not be blocked for making a correction since I made it lowercase? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noahvb2 (talk • contribs) 18:58, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
- Hi! On Wikipedia, we try to stick to a Manual of Style, also known as the MOS, so that all of our articles are consistent in terms of style. We have various subpages of the MOS, to deal with more specific topics, such as how we should write equations in math-related articles, how we should list classifications in science-related articles, etc. The subpage for titles is at MOS:TITLE, and this details how we should address titles of works, such as books, poems, albums and songs. In a subsection of MOS:TITLE, MOS:TITLECAPS, it specifically states:
In titles (including subtitles, if any) of English-language works (books, poems, songs, etc.), every word except for definite and indefinite articles, short coordinating conjunctions, and short prepositions is capitalized. This is known as title case
. With "Betty", since the title is a one-word title that does not contain any definite/indefinite articles, short coordinating conjunctions or short prepositions, we capitalize it ("Betty"), regardless of how Swift or anyone else styles it ("betty"). This is the same case for "Me!" (even though Swift stylizes it as "ME!") and Reputation (even though Swift stylizes it as reputation). It is a little confusing to get used to, but you get the hang of it. Since your edit does not comply with the MOS, an editor will revert it/has already reverted it, as the MOS is an agreed-upon set of style choices by multiple Wikipedia editors that fellow Wikipedia editors are strongly encouraged to follow. Don't worry, you won't get blocked for not complying with the MOS once or twice. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 19:19, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Misal pav vandalism

- No, I would revert it, as the citation does not back up what you put in the article. But that isn't the case here, there is a direct quote from the source that states Hamburg misal is a thing. If you provide a citation that Martian/Jutiperian French fries exist, then I will accept it as the truth.

You can choose what gets copied from the page. To start, you'll want to translate however much content from the es.wiki page you think is appropriate for the en.wiki from Spanish to English on somewhere that isn't Wikipedia, as this is somebody else's content and you don't want to accidentally press publish on something you haven't correctly attributed. After that, check the content and make sure it follows English Wikipedia policies, mainly the important ones such as WP:NOR, WP:NPOV, WP:V, and WP:BLP, because this is a biography of living people. I see that the es.wiki article has a {{More citations needed}} tag, so you should go through the content, determine what still needs a citation, and remove it, as BLPs should have minimal to no unsourced content, because they're about living people. After you're done all that, you'll want to remove the redirect at Sweet California (I'm assuming that is the title you want the article to exist at), copy and paste your translated content to the page, and add {{Translated page}} to the top of the article, following the instructions on that template's documentation (keep in mind that this should all be in a single edit). Lastly, you'll want to save that single edit with an edit summary of
Content in this edit is translated from the existing Spanish Wikipedia article at [[:es:Sweet California]]; see its history for attribution.
, as per WP:TFOLWP, which you should read before starting this. I would like to reiterate that Google Translate is not always accurate, and you should avoid using it unless you have to, which should be after you have tried other translators and additionally asked your mother, who speaks Spanish, per your user page. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 01:05, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Singles
Hey Doggy54321, I hope this message reaches you well. I noticed your participation in talk page discussions and want to reach out to you to ask for help. Recently, I've been doing a lot of editing to music-related articles, and I can't seem to figure out the difference between a single and a promotional single. For example, how are songs like POV and Streets considered singles when they weren't released ahead of their albums, but songs like Imagine and Roll With Us are considered promotional singles, when they were released ahead of their albums? In "Imagine"'s case, its lyric video on YouTube was released months before Thank U, Next came out, but (to my knowledge), it was never released to radio. However, The Archer is a promotional single but it was released to radio. What makes The Archer a promotional single? What makes POV a single? Thank you in advance, I've been trying to figure this out for the longest time! -- dylx 15:29, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Dylx: Hi! Sorry for the late response, I haven't been very active lately. First, I would like to clear up the fact that both singles and promotional singles can be released before and after the album is released, as long as the single/promo single is released within the promotional cycle (also called "album rollout" or "era", for example, the Positions promotional cycle, the Amala album rollout or the Hot Pink era). Next, I would like to point you to WP:SINGLESCRIT; it details the criteria for a song to be classified as a single or a promotional single. This will help you a lot. If you have any questions about the information there, feel free to ask . Now, I will go through all the examples you have given. Both "POV" and "Streets" were serviced to radio with official add dates (
The song was serviced to radio stations with an official add date
is part of WP:SINGLESCRIT#Established norms), so both of the songs can be classified as official singles. Now, both "Imagine" and "Roll with Us" don't meet any of the singles criteria, so they are not official singles, but they do meet the criteria for promotional singles, so they are both classified as promo singles. As well, even if, two years from now, we find out that "Imagine" meets the single criteria, there are multiple sources that call "7 Rings" and "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" the second and third singles from Thank U, Next, respectively, so it would be going against the sources to call "Imagine" the second official single. Taylor Swift explicitly said that "The Archer" is a promo single on a livestream, so regardless of everything else, it has to be classified as a promo single, case closed. The status of The Music Network, the radio network where "The Archer" was serviced to, is also disputed on Wikipedia (see WP:SINGLESCRIT#Needs more discussion/in dispute), so that should clear up any confusion. I think I have answered all of your questions, but if you have any additional ones, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 14:57, 4 June 2021 (UTC)- Thank you so much!! WP:SINGLESCRIT is exactly what I've been looking for! -- dylx 01:59, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello, just a question
So I uploaded the cover for The Peaches Remix, and you replaced it with a png version of it. How come the jpg file I uploaded was replaced? Are jpg not notable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DuaLipaFan23951 (talk • contribs)
- @DuaLipaFan23951: Hi! I replaced your file for two reasons. 1: PNGs are the preferred file type for album covers on Wikipedia, and you uploaded a JPEG. 2: Your file had a black line on the bottom of it that isn't on the official cover. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 15:01, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Hey, it’s me again. Sorry for bothering. I’m curious. How we can only use lower quality pictures instead of high quality ones? Does it take too much space or affect on Wikipedia in any way? - user:DuaLipaFan23951 — Preceding undated comment added 02:14, 10 June 2021 (UTC) DuaLipaFan23951 (talk) 02:19, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
- @DuaLipaFan23951: Hi again! You're not bothering me at all, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. The Planet Her album cover, like all other album covers, is non-free content. Wikipedia has a policy (WP:NFCCP) on non-free content, which is basically ten different requirements that a non-free image needs to meet before it can be used on Wikipedia. Point 3b states:
An entire work is not used if a portion will suffice. Low-resolution, rather than high-resolution/fidelity/bit rate is used
. A norm across music-related articles (at least the ones I edit) on Wikipedia is that non-free album covers are usually 300x300 pixels, as that is big enough that the reader can still see the album cover, but small enough that it complies with point 3b of the NFCCP. Since the album cover you uploaded was 600x600 pixels, it was a little too big to meet the requirements at NFCCP. Don't worry, I tagged the image for deletion, so no harm has been done. Now, a way to get the album cover to be that perfect 300x300 pixels every time is to use a pixel reducer tool (I use this one). A bonus of using that one is that the image is also converted into a PNG, which is the preferred file type for album covers. The size of the image does not affect Wikipedia in any other way, it is only because of copyright. I hope this answers your question, thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 02:48, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Sudden removes
Hi, I wonder what gave you the sudden impetus to remove the notes beside "singles" on three Taylor Swift album articles? As far as I can remember, their singles statuses were under debate due to the varying definition of a single, so it was decided that we'll listed them as singles but add notes juse in case; and notes are never unnecessary. Hence why remove them? Thank You. BawinV (talk) 05:32, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
- @BawinV: Hi! I thought of a couple things before deciding to remove them. 1: How are notes related to the release formats of a single important to the Infobox for the album? The Template:Infobox song "format" parameter was deprecated about a year ago, so that is confirmation that the release formats of a single aren't important to the song Infobox, so why would it be important to the album Infobox? 2: Per WP:SINGLESCRIT, the fact that a song
was only released in one territory/to one radio format
does not impact the legitimacy of the single. In other words, all four Folklore singles are official singles. All four releases were authorized by Republic Records, so I simply don't see a need to put a note on one single that notes its release formats and not on another, especially since I feel like this delegitimizes the single with the note attached to it. Just because Swift didn't promote "Betty" in the same way she did to "Cardigan" doesn't mean "Betty" is less of a single than "Cardigan". Moving on, could you please point me to the discussion where consensus was made to include these notes? I don't see how there could be any confusion with regard to the single statuses, as we have sources calling the songs official singles. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 12:47, 5 June 2021 (UTC) - @BawinV: Hey, I just wanted to follow up with you and see if you have any further comments on this matter. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 02:51, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hey, I don't know how I missed this. Well, I don't have the link, but I did come across a whole edit war over the singles listed in Folklore's infobox. Middle ground was achieved by adding the notes to the songs. BawinV (talk) 04:19, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
- @BawinV: Thank you :) My viewpoint is still the same, but, knowing that this is the subject of a past edit war, I will open a discussion on the talk page and ping all the involved users so we can come to a consensus. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 04:24, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Lorde's "Mood Ring"?
Hey Doggy. Would you know of any source that's confirmed an upcoming Lorde song called "Mood Ring"? The editor GodNey created the article and I asked them on their talk page not to create speculative redirects (or redirects for releases not mentioned at the target article), but they have not acknowledged the message and I'm reluctant to nominate the redirect for deletion if Lorde is about to unexpectedly announce the track list for the album or has said something I'm not aware of, as I just saw there was a closed discussion on whether to keep "Solar Power" as an article or not right before its early release. Ss112 04:45, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Ss112: Hi! I think one or two sources have mentioned the song, but it was in a "With the posting of 'Solar Power' cover art, fans wonder if Lorde is finally dropping 'Solar Power' and 'Mood Ring'" context. As far as I know, everything about "Mood Ring" can be traced back to an insider on Instagram, and I don't think it's confirmed to be a song at all. The situation with "Solar Power" was completely different; Lorde dropped the cover art so someone created the page with the (song) disambiguator, and, since sources had not yet decided if "Solar Power" was the song or the album (it turned out to be both), the article was brought to AfD. With "Mood Ring", nothing has been confirmed/hinted at by Lorde, so I think the best bet would be to nominate the redirect for deletion. Hope this helps! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 04:56, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks Doggy, went ahead and nominated it for deletion (through RfD, that is): Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 June 11#Mood Ring (Lorde song). Ss112 05:08, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Found another sockpuppet
Hello! Me again! I found another sock puppet account of Zhmailk. Yknow, the guy who’s making false edits on CFN and Gwen Stefani, etc. His username is 95.29.45.187 and apparently he’s only blocked for 6 months. DuaLipaFan23951 (talk) 18:07, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
He recently made a edit on EveryTime I Cry about a deluxe edition of Heaven and Hell yesterday. May able to find him there. DuaLipaFan23951 (talk) 18:09, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Niki and Gabi solo articles
Hi, why can't Niki and Gabi have solo articles while Chloe x Halle have solo articles? Both Niki and Gabi has done so many thing on their own too, also how can I request to add an image for the Niki and Gabi article since I'm blocked from adding to Commons. Gabriella Grande (talk) 17:44, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Gabriella Grande: Please read the Wikipedia notability guideline. For both of them to have articles, they as people (separate from the group) need to be notable, which means multiple reliable sources need to talk about Niki separate from the group (the same thing needs to happen to Gabi) before they are considered notable under Wikipedia guidelines. The members of Chloe x Halle have stand-alone articles because multiple reliable sources have talked about both Chloe and Halle individually, and separate from the group. If you want to request an image upload, you can request it at files for upload. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 17:53, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- Aren't those reliable sources? (1) (2) (3) etc...? Thanks! Gabriella Grande (talk) 18:03, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Gabriella Grande: Awesome start! DailyMail (2) is unreliable (see WP:DAILYMAIL), so that is one source for each. I'm not the best at determining notability, so I encourage you to read Help:Your first article. It will go through exactly what you need before you start writing the article, and it will go through the steps on how to actually create the article. I strongly recommend that you start the articles in draftspace, as that will allow you to get feedback from experienced content creators on the drafts before you submit the articles to be in the mainspace, to ensure notability. If you have any other questions (including source reliability), feel free to ask me. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 19:08, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- So sorry for asking again, but I found more articles that according to this page they're reliable: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5), and many more but are those enough for making an article for Gabi? sorry again ^^ Gabriella Grande (talk) 23:51, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Gabriella Grande: Awesome! These combined with the first source makes five sources (the last one only mentions DeMartino, the article isn't about her, so it doesn't add to notability), so I would say it is enough. But, as I stated above, I am not the best at determining notability, so I would say a good next step would be to create a draft page at Draft:Gabi DeMartino, which I can help you with if you want. Before you start, please read the guidelines at WP:BLP, as that details how to write a biography of a living person, which is what DeMartino is. It might seem silly, but birth names, birth places, birthdays, relatives, etc, all need to be reliably sourced as well. That is why it is a good idea to start a draft first, as it offers some wiggle room, so if you forget to cite something, no one will know. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 00:13, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
- I've read the WP:BLP article, and made a Draft page, could you check it? Gabriella Grande (talk) 01:29, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

@Gabriella Grande: I honestly don't think I need to copyedit much else. In terms of next steps, you have two options. A: you submit the draft to become an article in the mainspace, which will result in an AfC reviewer looking at the article and determining if it is ready for mainspace or not, at which time they will either pass (move the article into mainspace and notify you) or fail (the article stays in draftspace, you are notified and feedback on how to further improve the draft is given) the article. B: you don't submit the draft and keep working on it in draftspace until you think it is ready for mainspace. There are pros and cons to both situations, the biggest pros being you get a fresh set of eyes to look at the draft (A) and you get to keep improving the article and ensuring it is ready for Wikipedia (B). Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 02:49, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

I guess it's ready to be moved to mainspace and I added more sources but at the same time I'm afraid to submit the draft because I don't know if reviewers would accept it or not, I don't know what to do! Also a little question, I'm blocked from Commons but I wanna upload a picture that is a screenshot from a YouTube video, I've tried the "files for upload" but as I said since I'm blocked-I can't add a screenshot, what should I do? Gabriella Grande (talk) 07:22, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Gabriella Grande: Don't worry, it's fine My take on it is the worst case scenario is that the draft gets declined and you are given feedback to improve the draft. Nothing else happens. The draft stays in draftspace, and you can keep working on it. If you are confident that the draft is ready for mainspace, submit it and see what happens. The response that you got from FFU was that the licensing for the photo was not correct, so they declined it. I am not the best with licenses, so my advice would be to wait until the draft is in mainspace, and then try to investigate into getting a copyright-free picture you can add to the article. Once you do that, you can go back to FFU and try again. Hope this helps! Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 17:29, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Also a little question, I'm blocked from Commons but I wanna upload a picture that is a screenshot from a YouTube video, I've tried the "files for upload" but as I said since I'm blocked-I can't add a screenshot, what should I do?

Request for edit on 'Tis the Damn Season
Hi Doggy54321! Hope you're having a great day. I noticed that it appears you have added information on many Taylor Swift song articles on their musical compositions; i.e., the tempo, beat, etc. For example, taken from "Seven"
"Musically, the song is set in the key of E major with a tempo of 95 beats per minute. Swift uses her upper register, and her vocals span from E3 to B4."
I, for one, have no idea how to find this information from the MusicNotes citation. I was wondering if you could add this information to 'Tis the Damn Season if at all possible! I think it would make a great contribution to the article. If this isn't the place to do those types of requests, then apologies for the inconvenience! PassedDown (talk | contribs) 12:49, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
- @PassedDown: Hi! Thank you, I hope you're having a great day as well. Sure, I'm happy to help! If you would like, I can also run you through how to get the information from MusicNotes, so you know how to do it in the future. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 14:38, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

- @PassedDown: I'll use "'Tis the Damn Season"'s MusicNotes page for any examples ([2]). First, you need to scroll down to the button on the bottom of the "Quick Details" section (it looks like an Infobox), which says "View Full Product Details". Once you click it, it should give you a lot of information, including the key (under "Original published key") and the vocal range (under "Instruments"). If you scroll back up to the sheet music, you will see " =" and then a number; this is the tempo. Moving on, I'll also teach you how to format these. Key: for "'Tis the Damn Season", the key is F major, so you would format it as
The song is set in the key of [[F major]]
, which gives you "The song is set in the key of F major". In music, there are also sharps, which look like hashtags (#) and are formatted using{{music|sharp}}
(which leaves you with ♯), and flats, which look like lowercase Bs (b) and are formatted using{{music|flat}}
(which leaves you with ♭). These can be translated into keys, such as B♭ major or D♯ minor. If you ever encounter one of these, you would enter it asThe song is set in the key of [[B-flat major|B{{music|flat}} major]]
(piping the link so the symbol is used), which gives you "The song is set in the key of B♭ major". Tempo: the tempo for "'Tis the Damn Season" is = 146 (also known as 146 beats per minute), so it would be formatted asThe [[tempo]] is 146 beats per minute
, leaving you with "The tempo is 146 beats per minute". Vocal range: last but not least, the vocal range is formatted using<sub>
, so, for "'Tis the Damn Season", it would beSwift's vocals span from [[C (musical note)|C]]<sub>3</sub> to [[A (musical note)|A]]<sub>4</sub>
, leaving you with "Swift's vocals span from C3 to A4". Hope this helps, and sorry once again for the late reply! Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 23:32, 18 June 2021 (UTC)- Wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate it – have a great day! PassedDown (talk | contribs) 03:13, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

Biography image of Olivia Rodrigo
I'm well aware of all the talking that has been happening about adding Olivia's image. I was wondering if you could tell me whether this Vogue video is appropriate for a screenshot upload? Thanks. BawinV (talk) 12:07, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
- @BawinV: Hi! I don't think so, per Point 7 of Vogue's Terms and Conditions ("No portion of the Website may be reproduced in any form or by any means, except as expressly permitted in these Terms and Conditions or where permitted by applicable law"). That does only detail the website, though, and not the YouTube channel, but I assume it would be the same deal there.

GAN for "Cardigan"
Hi! I've nominated "Cardigan for Good Article! I read the GAN instructions and added the necessary template to the article talk page. You're the second biggest contributor to the article, hence you should be a co-nominee, but I wasn't able to find any instructions on how to add you as one. BawinV (talk) 07:54, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- @BawinV: Hi! That's so funny, nominating Cardigan for GA status was on my to-do list! Thank you so much for the offer! I can add myself as a co-nominee, but in the future, here's how you do it. Adding someone as a co-nominee just means copy/pasting their signature into the substituted template, so for this case you would find my signature (D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!)), copy and paste it into the GA template, and add the word "and" before it. It should look like
|nominator=[[User:BawinV|BawinV]] ([[User talk:BawinV|talk]]) and [[User:Doggy54321|D🐶ggy54321]] <sup>[[User talk:Doggy54321|(let's chat!)]]</sup>
. It's hacky, and doesn't allow the co-nominee to receive notifications, but it's allowed and it's the only way to add a co-nominee. Thank you again for the offer, can't wait to work with you again! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 11:02, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
"Stoned at the Nail Salon"
Apologies if I made that article prematurely. I'll get to expanding that now that it's released! --LivelyRatification (talk) 20:55, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
- Have now expanded it a fair bit. If there are any issues that remain, please do let me know. --LivelyRatification (talk) 21:48, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
- @LivelyRatification: No need to apologize! A general guideline is that announcement references (the "Lorde is releasing a new single tomorrow" ones) don't count towards notability, and neither do unrelated ones (the "Lorde is releasing a new album, here's the track listing" ones), so songs that aren't released yet are very seldom notable. The article looks great now! Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 00:27, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
Nasarati
Doggy, regarding your edit removing Nas's mixtape that no other editor has had an issue with on Lil Nas X's article in the several years it's been there, as I said in my revert, I feel like you're either misunderstanding or unaware how hip hop mixtapes are ordinarily distributed. For example, plenty of mumble rappers release their projects "officially" on SoundCloud, because that's one of the main places where the genre began. Over the years, plenty of hip hop artists have also released their mixtapes on DatPiff, which Uproxx notes is one of the ways Nasarati was distributed. I disagree if you think "official" requires a project to be uploaded on a monetised streaming service like Spotify, Apple Music or an official YouTube channel, because this is not how hip hop mixtapes have ordinarily been distributed over the years—mixtapes are traditionally free projects. They are still considered official.
The article for mixtape even notes this: "In hip hop and R&B culture, a mixtape often describes a self-produced or independently released album issued free of charge to gain publicity or avoid possible copyright infringement"—same with Nasarati. If it seems "unofficial" it's probably because Nas was unsigned at the time and tried to dodge some responsibility for uncleared samples (even though he did face some legal trouble later on because of it). The Uproxx link I subsequently added to Nas's article states he even made a music video for one of Nasarati's tracks. If, knowing all that, you still believe that the project was not official even though Nas clearly tried to promote the project with a music video for one of its songs, I don't know how else it could be demonstrated.

Draft submission
Hello! It's me again, it's been a while! Just a little question, do you think I should submit the Gabi draft page? I thinks it has enough sources, what do you think? Gabriella Grande (talk) 14:31, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Gabriella Grande: I think you should as well. I see you have already submitted it! Thank you for checking in! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 14:57, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- The reason why I didn't submit it before is because she has a new single coming in August so I thought maybe I'd wait so we can get more sources but I think it's enough for now, do you think I should make a draft page for Niki? There's also a lot of sources about her so let me know what do you think!💕 Gabriella Grande (talk) 19:29, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Gabriella Grande: If she has a single coming and it's backed up in a usable source, whether that is a streaming service, a social media post from her, or a reliable news source, it can be added into the article without hesitation, and it won't affect the article's chance of being accepted. From the sources you previously showed me, I think that a draft page for Niki would be a good idea as well! Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 20:00, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Doggy54321: Unfortunately, the submission was declined, I don't understand how is she still not notable when I added 39 sources but it's ok, I think it had more sources than the Chloe x Halley members, thank you so much for helping my by the way! 🤍 Gabriella Grande (talk) 21:20, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Gabriella Grande: I saw that. If you don't understand the reason as to why the draft was declined, you should leave a message on the declining reviewer's talk page asking them to give you a more detailed explanation.

Why archive existing citations that are all url-status=live, then listing as rescuing
Doggy54321, on List of 2011 albums, you added archive listing to 39 citations when the active web sites are still hosting the articles, which to me seems like article bloat. You also labeled it as rescuing the sources, when they were swimming just fine without the life-preserver which clunked them on the head. My first instinct was to revert the changes, but I thought I would discuss it with you first to see if I can understand your reasoning. I am in general resistant to archive listings when the host website is still active, as I find it to be article bloat. It is true that I have been battling article size limits for many of these lists, and have looked to trim unnecessary additions, and as of right now these lists are comparatively lean, but by now I just don't like unnecessary archiving, more of a quirk of mine than a policy. Still, I am considering reverting your changes, so please tell me why you support archiving. Thank you. Mburrell (talk) 04:35, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Mburrell: Since the citations were from 10 years ago, I thought archiving them would help just in case some of the links were already dead/in need of archiving. But, if you think that this was unnecessary and bloats the article, by all means revert it. Also - I loved that analogy! Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 11:56, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me exercise my prejudice against archiving still active websites. I do want to point out that there is a Wikipedia bot that seems to follow up when a well-used news site stopped being active. On June 23, 2021, User:InternetArchiveBot went through many of the List of 20xx album lists and added archive links to citations by Drowned in Sound, which apparently closed down its website. Here are a couple of samples [3] and [4] for 2011 and 2012, so at least some of these journals are being patrolled and protected when needed. Mburrell (talk) 03:18, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Mburrell: My pleasure! That makes sense. That was actually what I was trying to prevent happen in the first place (a bit of insurance in case one of the websites/links died one day), but I understand that it's unnecessary byte size. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 03:32, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

Lights Up platinum
Hi Doggy54321, long time no talk. I hope you are well. :) I just wanted to let you know that I reverted your edits on "Lights Up". The article is currently at FAC so I'm against using the Twitter reference to back up the Platinum certification. Also, I checked the BPI website and it doesn't show the platinum upgrade. I hope you don't mind. If you have a better idea, please let me know. Regards, --Ashleyyoursmile (talk) 15:45, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Ashleyyoursmile: Hi Ashley! Thank you, same to you :) That makes sense. The certification was announced an hour and a half ago, so it probably won't show up on the BPI database for another day or so. But, the Twitter is the official Brits/BPI Twitter, so it is official. I do understand your reasoning, though. Thanks for letting me know! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 16:03, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
Edit on Music of the Spheres
Hi User:Doggy54321, I see you have deleted some details regarding the Music of the Spheres teasing from the Everyday Life era, saying they are unreliable. I don't understand why, given that what you deleted was the description of a photo included within the vinyl edition booklet of Everyday Life. The source was a fan thread I discovered on twitter and this can be considered as not reliable, but I used it anyway as it was a simple description of the photo and gave some easily verifiable info about that picture. Can I revert that edit, eventually adding more/different sources? Thanks for reading! FilBenLeafBoy (Let's Talk!) 12:10, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
- @FilBenLeafBoy: Hi! Yes, I did delete that, because the sources are unreliable and self-published. Regardless of the content, those are not sources that are fit for use on Wikipedia. However, since the picture came from the vinyl, all you have to do is source it to the liner notes of the vinyl ({{cite AV media notes}}), and you should be good, since, from my understanding, the pictures in the vinyl and a description are the only things being sourced. I did not do this because I do not have the vinyl readily available, so I did not want to take any chances, just in case the information turned out to be false, and the information did not end up meeting WP:V. The description part does not need to be sourced, but you should ensure that the description meets various guidelines, such as WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, and WP:UNDUE, before publishing. You should also probably rewrite it from scratch, in case the Twitter/Reddit sources don't follow the guidelines I just listed. If you need examples/help with this, I would be more than happy to provide you with whatever you need. Thank you so much for starting this discussion! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 13:27, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Red songs (Taylor's Version)
Hi, just letting you know that I reverted your edits because it's still too soon to say anything about the re-recorded tracks.
On another note, I also don't think that the infoboxes are necessary for the Fearless songs (Taylor's Version) as well, given that they only have the charts and barely any new information. Except for single releases like "Love Story (Taylor's Version)", I'm thinking of.. how about having a single infobox for both versions (with separate release dates; producers), and including the chart positions of the "Taylor's Version" as a sub-section of the original "Charts" section (Like "S&M (song)" has combined charts for both the Britney remix and the original). Just my two cents, Ippantekina (talk) 03:33, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Ippantekina: Hi! I'm a little confused as to why you reverted. We already know the titles and the writers (they stay the same), so I don't understand your mindset of "too soon". It would be too soon if nothing had been confirmed, but we know of information that can be reliably sourced, so we should add it into the article. As well, from past experience with the Fearless tracks, it was much easier to have sections for all the re-recorded songs that were already notable, even if they were underdeveloped, as it would be easier, more efficient and less of a headache to add new information. For example, "Everything Has Changed", "I Knew You Were Trouble", "22", "State of Grace", "All Too Well", "Better Man" and "Ronan" all already, three months before they are set to release, have some sort of information attached to them separate from "Swift is re-recording this song", so it would be easier to just add the information into the article rather than write a whole section.
- Moving on, in your edit summary, you say
it's still pretty early (WP:TOOSOON; let's wait till the release of the Taylor's Version.. plus I don't think the producers have been confirmed yet
. TOOSOON is a notability guideline, which isn't what we're dealing with here. The pages are already notable with or without the Taylor's Version sections. As well, I did not list the producers, I listed the songwriters, which are different. Songwriters stay the same no matter who records the song, so it doesn't need to be confirmed. However, producers change with different recordings of the song, so you'll notice that I didn't add those since I didn't have an reliable source to back it up. As well, while the Infoboxes might seem like dead weight, they aren't all that different from single Infoboxes without covers (see Traitor (song), Getaway Car (Taylor Swift song)). By the time November 19 comes around, titles, writers, producers, lengths, labels and a video of sorts, whether that is audio, lyric or music, will be known/released. The only difference between one of these Infoboxes and a single Infobox is a "release date" parameter and a chronology.
- Lastly, I don't understand your last point. Do you mean a single Infobox such as "type=single" for all of the songs or two Infoboxes in the article: one for the original and one for the Taylor's Version? As well, the charts aren't included in the Infoboxes, but it makes more sense to have everything related to the Taylor's Version in that one section (other than some odds and ends) than to have two Infoboxes in the lead and separate subsections for all the sections detailing the Taylor's Version in the context of that section.
- Knowing all of this, how do you think we should move forward with this? Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 12:06, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for the ping. For the time being, I'd choose to wait till the release date, because I'm planning to take the articles to FAC and that could potentially (imo) be a point of TOOSOON for some reviewers, especially since the section only includes an infobox and a very brief paragraph.
- I'm not a very big fan of current Taylor's Version sections because they include the infobox, a brief paragraph, and a charts section, the lattermost could be reasonably included as a subsection of the original "Charts" section. Regardless, that is my personal opinion, and if it is a big enough issue then I think we could have some discussion at WikiProject Taylor Swift. The sections are fine per-se imo, but could be sort of questionable in FACs regarding coverage. No hard feelings atm, Ippantekina (talk) 13:13, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Ippantekina: No problem! I understand where you're coming from, and I thank you for the explanation. But, I also understand that, at some point in time, the information will be in the article, and it might bring the article below FA. This is totally understandable due to the fact that pages that are affected by current events are being heavily updated and are often not always the best quality, let alone FA quality. A suggestion I have would be to put one of the articles you are thinking of nominating for FA through peer review and see what comes out of it. That way, you're not potentially hurting the articles by removing information preemptively, but you can also get your wonders out of the way.

- I totally get why you don't like them, however, I still feel like having all the info for the Taylor's Version in one section is more organized. I really like your idea of bringing this up at WT:WikiProject Taylor Swift, due to the fact that, before yesterday, there was consensus to keep the sections as is. However, I do think your points are valid, and that we should get a more widespread consensus through discussion. No hard feelings as well. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 22:45, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks! In the meantime let's keep the Taylor's Version sections as they are then (except for the Red songs which are quite too soon for now...). I think if it is problematic then there will be comments at the FACs if possible.. Ippantekina (talk) 02:46, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Ippantekina: Awesome, sounds like a plan! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 02:49, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Folklore GA nom
Hi Doggy54321, it's Ashley. :) I hope you are well. Just noticed that Folklore has been nominated for GA by a user who has barely made significant edits to it which contravenes the criteria "Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article on the article talk page prior to a nomination" as mentioned in the WP:GAI. This is a drive-by nomination which doesn't appear to be discussed with the main contributors of the article, in this case it's you and BawinV, unless I'm missing something? So the nomination will potentially be quick-failed. Thoughts? --Viridian Bovary (talk) 12:32, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Viridian! As a major author of Folklore, I personally would not nominate that article for GA right now. BawinV (talk) 12:43, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hi BawinV, thanks for the response. This nomination would be quick-failed if allowed to proceed since the nominator hasn't contributed significantly to it. I'm unsure what should be done in this regard but since both of you are top contributors of the article, it's better if either/both of you decide if this should proceed. --Viridian Bovary (talk) 12:55, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Viridian Bovary: Hi Ashley! Thank you, same to you. I will ping Theknine2 as they are the nominator, and I think they should be included in this discussion. Per WP:GAI,
Anyone may nominate an article to be reviewed for GA, although it is preferable that nominators have contributed significantly to the article and are familiar with its subject and its cited sources
. I guided Theknine2 to GAI on a discussion on their talk page, so I think they would have seen this by now. They aren't a significant contributor, but I do believe that they are familiar with the subject and its cited sources, partly due to the fact that they are a part of WP:SWIFT. GAI also saysNominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article on the article talk page prior to a nomination
, but multiple now-GAs under the WikiProject Taylor Swift scope were nominated by non-significant contributors who didn't leave messages on the talk page, so I am not too worried about protocol being followed to the T here. Additionally, not being a significant contributor to the page is not listed at WP:GAFAIL, so Theknine2 deserves a full review of the page, regardless of how many edits they have made. Lastly, BawinV and I both made comments at User talk:Theknine2#GA nomination of Folklore (Taylor Swift album), and, while I am not going to jump to any conclusions on Bawin's behalf, I endorsed the GAN, and I still do think that Theknine2 should follow through with it. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 14:00, 12 August 2021 (UTC)- Thank you for your response, Doggy54321. I wasn't aware of this discussion. Thanks for pointing it out. Since you are comfortable with the GAN, then it's fine for Theknine2 to see through this nomination. Good luck to them. Viridian Bovary (talk) 14:07, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Viridian Bovary: No problem! I concur. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 14:16, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

@Viridian Bovary: Hi, thank you D🐶ggy54321 for pinging me. I apologise that I did not discuss this with the significant contributors beforehand. I think the page is very comprehensive, well-sourced and in-depth so far, and I will try contributing more in the future. Thank you! Theknine2 (talk) 14:11, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Theknine2: You're welcome! I agree, the page looks good, and, by going through with the GA review, the page will be even better. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 14:16, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
New category
Hey! Can you please do me a favor? Nav (rapper) has produced a lot of songs. Examples include every song on Nav (album) by Nav, “What You Want” by Belly, “Back to Back (Drake song)”, and a lot of others. Could you please create Category:Song recordings produced by Nav (rapper)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.17.32.159 (talk • contribs)
- It seems as though you've already requested the category at WP:CFD, so I would follow up there instead of unintentionally forum-shopping. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 23:46, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
