Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Far Side of Crazy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mark Chapman. 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.

Some referencing tips

[edit]

Hi, thanks for your edits to the Message to My Girl page. Here are some tips for adding/referencing chart peaks to articles:

  • There is no need to add a hyperlink to the Kent Music Report to the Australian Chart Book 1970–1992 title when citing it. I've seen this on many pages; presumably you copied and pasted the reference from one of these. Although the book is collated by the owner of the Kent Music Report, it is not actually the Kent Music Report itself (a document that was sent to subscribers each week containing charts, as well as a list of new releases, and playlists for radio, Countdown, and other Australian music video programs). The book is not merely a collation of Kent Music Report documents.
  • There is no need to add a hyperlink to the location where a book is published, unless it is in some way relevant to the article. So, e.g. you shouldn't hyperlink to St. Ives, New South Wales, because it is not relevant to a page about a song (unless it was written there or is about the place, perhaps - but then it would be appropriate to link to it in the article rather than in a reference).
  • When you reference the Hung Medien sites, Hung Medien is the publisher, not ARIA Charts, MegaCharts, etc., because they are not the ones who have published the site.
  • Belgium has two separate charts, one for the Flanders (Dutch-speaking) region, and one for the Wallonia (French-speaking) region. Ideally you should specify which of the two charts a peak is taken from, i.e. Ultratop Flanders or Ultratop Wallonia.
  • The Dutch chart peaks listed on dutchcharts.nl belong to the MegaCharts or Single Top 100 chart; a sales-based chart. The Dutch Top 40 you named the reference in this article is actually a different chart that incorporates airplay, and is not archived on dutchcharts.nl .
  • There was no need to alter the Australian Chart Book reference which had already been added on this page; especially as it contained a page no. (I have the book in my possession, so added it), whereas you changed it to a less-specific reference that did not contain the page. It is always best to only refer to references you have personally cited, so you can verify that the information is correct yourself.
  • When adding a line break, you only need to type < br > (minus the spaces). Adding a / before the closing > is unnecessary.
  • When citing a reference previously added, you only need to use the < ref name = (name) / > formatting (minus the spaces).
