Country album tables

Hi there, just to let you know, I reverted your removal of links to Morgan Wallen's albums in the number-one country albums lists. In tables which are sortable (i.e. readers can re-sort the table based on different columns), the rule is that items need to be linked on every mention not just the first, because if a reader re-sorts the table then what was previously the first mention might not be the first any more. I notice that you said "other tables don't do this" - either those tables aren't sortable (so this rule does not apply) or else they need fixing...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:14, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ChrisThe Dude, my apologies about the edits the main reason why I did this was because the listings of Billboard 200 number one albums don’t do that. I didn’t realize that the country albums listing did. Thank you for letting me know this by the way, I do appreciate it. JustTryingToBeSmart (talk) 21:58, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Snoop Dogg albums, singles, and guest appearances split

{{Ping|Jax 0677}} I would like to thank you for thanking me for the split and the help. I didn’t realize how badly Snoop Dogg’s discography needed split until I read through it. It exceeded 300,000KB and was difficult to read. Due to this (with your help I appreciate) I was able to find links to a previous split discussion in the talk page and I made the following pages: Snoop Dogg albums discography, Snoop Dogg singles discography, and Snoop Dogg guest appearances discography. I hope I spelt “appearances” correctly; and again thank you for the thank you and the help. JustTryingToBeSmart (talk) 16:16, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Revival (Zach Bryan song) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Revival (Zach Bryan song), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Muhandes (talk) 16:10, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for telling me this, I will try and add more sources, info, and whatever else to the article later today. I may submit it for review tomorrow. JustTryingToBeSmart (talk) 16:50, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrectly splitting procedure and other concerns

Please follow WP:SPLIT. What you did to Snoop Dogg discography is essentially plagiarism and goes against Wikipedia licensing. While I'm at it, please don't WP:SHOUT. Muhandes (talk) 16:19, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for informing me about this, I’m not good at splitting sorry about that—I will follow WP:Split next time. I’m not trying to sound rude but why would I WP:SHOUT we’re all learning together there’s no reason to become angered at one another, I’m not mad. JustTryingToBeSmart (talk) 21:45, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Typing in all caps ("TYPING IN ALL CAPS") on Wikipedia, in line with most Internet resources, is perceived as "shouting" and can come across as aggressive. Your edit summaries are often using all caps, here is one example out of many. Please don't. Muhandes (talk) 21:52, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh okay, I thought that you meant that as in talking directly like that to someone on there talk page. I guess all reasons apply, thank you for letting me know—know I will know not to do that in the future. JustTryingToBeSmart (talk) 21:55, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for leaving me the comment, I appreciate it! I’m confused on why to merge Draft:Revival (Zach Bryan song) with Elisabeth (Zach Bryan album. Could I expand upon the article for Revival so I don’t have to merge it? Please let me know what you think. Thank you! JustTryingToBeSmart (talk) 21:40, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thank you so much for the article acception, it means a lot! Have a blessed day. JustTryingToBeSmart (talk) 17:17, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Revival (Zach Bryan song). There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. see MOS:CQ Muhandes (talk) 13:11, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While I'm cleaning up after you, I thought a tip and an offer of of help are in place. If you are going to write articles about songs, it is important to learn how to use {{single chart}} and {{certification Table Entry}}. Both of them have good documentation, but also a learning curve. If you need my help, {{ping}} me or leave a message on my talk page. Muhandes (talk) 13:22, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about the issues with my edits, yes, I do need to learn how to add the {{single chart}} and {{certification Table Entry}}. I didn't realize that there was a Manual of Style to use on articles—I will have to learn it before I make more articles. Thank you for informing me about this, I will practice more with my edits. If we don't talk again today have a good one. JustTryingToBeSmart (talk) 20:39, 2 December 2024 (UTC) JustTryingToBeSmart (talk) 20:39, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

With your permission, I corrected your response to use {{tl}}, which is how you link to a template without calling it. Your efforts to follow policy are commendable. I suggest you start with reviewing your previous edits to ensure they conform to the policies you already know. For example, your splits lack attribution, making them an act of plagiarism. This can be corrected by providing attribution, as explained here. The same applies to your violations of MOS:CQ. I corrected some but not all. --Muhandes (talk) 08:03, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for correcting my response and for letting me know my mistakes. I will review my past edits and learn how to edit, properly. I just now learned that I was splitting articles incorrectly this whole time. Thank you for informing me this. JustTryingToBeSmart (talk) 21:53, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm MPFitz1968. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, List of Billboard 200 number-one albums of 2018, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Changing a figure in the article's table (in this case, showing album-equivalent units) often is considered an unsourced change, especially when the cited source itself isn't changed - the source usually won't have anything different from when it was originally cited. Even if you think the figure should be updated, there must be a (reliable) source backing the change, per verifiability policy. This sourcing also is evidence that you are not inserting original research into the article, which is also policy. MPFitz1968 (talk) 02:05, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think I may have made a mistake, wrong article on my part… Thank you for informing me I probably wouldn’t have noticed. JustTryingToBeSmart (talk) 02:07, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bobby Cohn (talk) 23:18, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bobby Cohn, thank you for notifying me about my draft—the current Future Template is starting to become overcrowded with various songs that have him as a lead and/or featured artist. The template that I have created (Template:Future songs) will focus only on his songs with the associated albums or songs that he serves as a featured artist on. For example; Template:Drake (musician) and Template:Drake songs, Template:Lana Del Rey and Template:Lana Del Rey songs, & Template:Snoop Dogg and Template:Snoop Dogg songs—are all for the artists songs, and other related articles such as albums, concert tours, and various other related articles. Sorry if I didn't do a good job explaining as I typed this relatively fast but what I'm saying is that the main template will serve as a template that lists his various musical works and other related articles, and his Songs template will serve as a template exclusively for his songs. Please let me know what you think about my reasonings, thank you and have a good day if we don't talk again today. JustTryingToBeSmart (talk) 00:59, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
