Welcome!

Hello, Lastbroken, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome! davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 16:57, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I made some changes to Just For You (Michelle McManus song). When creating future music stubs, please don't use subst: in the stub templates. Also, I removed the category Category:Pop Idol since this song didn't appear on the show. I also removed all references to the possible future album, as that goes against the longstanding tradition of not writing about events that may or may not happen. See WP:CRYSTAL for details on that one.

Also, you kind of walked into a minefield with Michelle McManus. There is a disruptive editor who keeps getting blocked and creating new accounts to get around the block. One of his favorite topics is Michelle McManus. Don't be surprised if someone accuses you of being him.

Also, please read Wikipedia:Notability (music). In general, non-notable songs and albums by notable but not famous artists are iffy when it comes to having their own articles. It's much better to put the content in the artist's page and create a redirection link until the song becomes notable in its own right. For famous artists like The Beatles pretty much anything they do deserves an article. Please feel free to discuss a possible merger of the article you created and Michelle McManus at Talk:Michelle McManus#Merge in non-notable singles. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 16:57, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Leon Jackson

Hello there. Please review the history of the article, here before continuing to revert people. I and user "This flag was once red" have been working for quite some time on the Leon Jackson article (This flag was once red far longer than I) and everything we do when we edit the article is truly to keep the article in a good condition. Every one of our edits has a reason behind them, which you can find by looking at the history, and seeing our edit summaries. And please do not blindly revert/undo people's actions without adding an edit summary to your edits, so people know what you are doing and why. Just FYI, things such as sales numbers and charting positions are welcome, but only as long as you can find a valid reference for them. We tried leaving them be with simply a "citation needed" tag, but then those numbers began changing, and with each change still no reference was added. Per the Wikipedia policy that everything MUST be verifiable (especially those things that have a tendency to be changed often for either vandalistic reasons or fans coming in and putting "wishful thinking" numbers), I believe that it is far better to just keep those sales numbers and charting positions out of the article until someone can apply a valid reference to them.

Michelle McManus discography

Thanks for trying to improve Michelle McManus discography but Wikipedia requires reliable sources for information. If you can provide reliable sources that show the song charted, please restore the material and include the references. Also, be sure to update Just For You (Michelle McManus song) with the same information and the same sources. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 21:42, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Right Now (Leon Jackson album). Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Please do not replace cited text with uncited nonsense. This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 16:48, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto for Leon Jackson discography. It's cited for a reason - so other people can verify the claim and disprove the uncited nonsense spouted by disruptive editors. Cheers, This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 16:52, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Right Now (Leon Jackson album), you will be blocked from editing. This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 17:07, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

British Phonographic Industry

Hi

The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) is the UK recording industry's official trade organisation. They're the people who dole out Silver, Gold and Platinum disks. When an album sells more that 60,000 copies in the UK the BPI award the artist a Silver disk. Leon Jackson hasn't been awarded any disks by the BPI, for any single, nor for any album. Hence UK album sales of Right Now are less than 60,000. You can search their site yourself - from the home page click on "Statistics", then "Certified Awards". Check "Silver", "Gold" and "Platinum" and then click search. Scroll through looking for both "Leon Jackson" and "Jackson, Leon". Do it now. This is how I know your claims are mince.

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as those you made to Right Now (Leon Jackson album). If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. The cite works - [1]. Follow the instructions above. Find how many Silver, Gold or Platinum disks Leon Jackson has been awarded in total.

"Do [I] have a hate to Leon Jackson? Cite a Site that is FOUND!!" No, I could care less about Leon Jackson - I'm more a Chumbawamba kind of listener. I have a love of verifiability. There have been {{fact}} tags on these articles for some time now, and you've kept fiddling with the data without making any effort to provide references - despite repeated requests from multiple editors that you do so. Well, guess what? The BPI site doesn't support your claims. You've been caught out. Now you're trying to claim that the site doesn't work? Aye, richt!
