| Do not add material to an article or create an article without crediting the users who worked on the original material. Also, per ] guidelines, very short song articles shouldn't be created, especially when the album article is short as well. ] 22:51, 19 March 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :"Without crediting the users who worked on the original material" — unfortunately, this line confuses me. Also, there are several other articles on Misplaced Pages presented with limited information. The principle reason for creating the article was that the image of the CD single wasn't deleted without warning. I haven't read the Music/Song guidelines, so I'm unaware of the notes within. I know that you will be writing and expanding "A Thousand Miles" eventually but I took the initiative of creating the article and, unless I'm wrong or haven't read a specific policy, anyone is allowed to create an article. —] | ] 00:20, 20 March 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::Anybody can create an article, yes. However, nobody can contribute to an article or create an article using material from elsewhere on Misplaced Pages without crediting the original authors by mentioning in the edit summary where it came from. That is a violation of the GFDL license under which all Misplaced Pages contributions fall; as the article was technically a copyright violation at the state of its creation, it qualified for speedy deletion. ''"It was co-produced and co-arranged by Carlton and Ron Fair and was one of the most popular songs of the year. The music of the song is supported by a full orchestral arrangement and its lyrics reflect the protagonist who pines for her lover, whom she has separated from."'' - this material, which you started the article with, was taken almost word-for-word from the edit history of my sandbox area . If you had started the article with something you had written yourself then I wouldn't have a problem, but instead you chose to plagiarise my work. ] 15:12, 20 March 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Is == | |||
| I've come across multiple textbooks and paperbacks insisting that the word "is" is not capitalized in the titles of books, reports, documents, etc.; yet I've also uncovered several encyclopedias and biographies—although the biographies were of little use—which believe "is" should be capitalized in this case. While I conducted a worldwide-web search, I came across different theories which are likely to have come from anonymous and constant contributers of separate websites, but I've drawn the conclusion that I am officially confused. Even though you explained that the common majority of manuals read "is" as capital, I am no longer positive about whether it is one or the other. Are you aware of any books and/or websites where I can investigate? —] | ] 21:59, 22 March 2006 (UTC) | |||

| I can try to find sales figures, but I know that the album has not been certified in either country which makes it even harder to find sales information. I'll try searching again tomorrow. — ] 06:16, 24 March 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Yes, thank you. I'm going to keep looking out for the figures as well. Do you by chance own ''Supernature''? As long as it can be certified gold in Canada, at least we'll have a distinct idea of its sales. —] | ] 13:29, 24 March 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::I brought the import version when it came out in Europe because I couldn't wait four or five months until it came out in Canada. I think we'll just have to wait a while before we know any sales figures, especially for it to become certified. It was just recently released and charted in the lower end of the albums chart, so it might be able to be certified, but I'd give it some time. — ] 13:35, 24 March 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :::My girlfriend also bought the imported version because she was also unable to wait, but perhaps I could go out and purchase the edition with "Beautiful". After all, I am a fan too. Yes, it's true, we'll have to wait some time. Do you know what position ''Supernature'' is at this week on the Canadian albums chart? It's difficult to locate since the chart is only comprised of the top 100. —] | ] 13:38, 24 March 2006 (UTC) | |||

| I'm replying here since you request it, but I hope you're aware that posts on my page get read by many people, including individuals I have specifically advised you to stay away from; it's on a lot of watchlists and gets a lot of traffic. To put your HW talk on it seems almost like a deliberate provocation, and I really have to quote Everyking, of all people: . But since you insist on bringing these things up so publicly, I'll tell you how I see it: your recent edit warring at ] tends IMO more to imply that you're ] than that you're HW... if you see a distinction there. You ought to pull in your horns on that article. As for me commenting on WBT on FAC, I'll see. I'm pretty tired of seeing WBT brought back to FAC at such indecently short intervals, and also pretty tired of getting flamed at the slightest opportunity by ] getting hold of some improbable end of some far-fetched stick (that's no fault of yours, but I'm still tired of it). Also, since all I've ever gotten in return for FAC advice on WBT has been suspiciousness and nagging from you and ], I can't say it's an inspirational task to me, though I take your word for it that you mean to do better this time.

| Hi, sorry I didn't respond to the note you left on my talk page about the unreferenced sentence in '']''; I've been busy lately. I've added the sentence back with a reference, which was the same reference as the previous sentence. If you feel the need to remove a sentence just because it is unreferenced, it would be helpful if you could comment the sentence out instead of actually removing it, possibly with a note stating why is it commented. That makes it easier to add the sentence back if needed, and will prompt future editors that a reference needs to be added.

Because popular music is a general term, any song can be called a "popular song" (even if it is rock, soul, or R&B). The confusion sets in because "popular music" is often abbreviated "pop music", and people cannot distinguish if we are referring to the pop music that Madonna "sings" or popular music (the popular, blanket genre). For "Crazy in Love", I can assure you that we are referring to "popular music" (which has simply been abbreviated "pop music"), and not the sub-genre.

| :::::Well, I dont think the guideline is that unusual, although I'm certainly willing to contribute some more ideas if you want to go back and re-open that discussion. It's just the way the consensus worked it out. If "(X weeks)" was uniform to provide the info for all charts, or if that info was reserved for, say only number-ones and number-twos I'd be more for it. I cleaned up an article the other day in which there was no "weeks" a song spent at number one on Chart A, yet there was "2 weeks" to document its length at position ''twenty'' on Chart B. Things start to get sloppy if some kind of line isn't drawn somewhere. At least that's how I see it. Ya know? -- ] 20:50, 6 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

| :::::::Ha, yes, I guess it was "Check on It" and that was today. Sometimes my Wiki time becomes a bit blurred. But that does illustrate my point. Two weeks at number twenty is a bit... I dunno... overkill? -- ] 20:57, 6 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::::Absolutely! —] | ] 20:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::Not sure - I'm up on the Billboard stuff and to a certain extent the UK charts, but I'm not too familiar with Canadian charts. Seems number twenty is actually kinda low for that song, but I have no clue who added that in there. But hey, at least I know it spent ''two weeks at number twenty''. Anyhoo, I'll leave WBT alone, but as long as the guideline is in place I'm going to continue to do what I can to keep the charts tables at least ''somewhat'' standard as best I can. -- ] 21:06, 6 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Hi. When I see problems of style or grammar, it's usually easiest for me just to fix them. Explaining ''why'' they are problematic sometimes takes more words and effort, so I go for the more efficient approach. ] 21:38, 6 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Yes, I suppose that's true. Then to make it easy and short (you could simply say yes or no and perchance slightly elaborate), does the article contain many more grammatical issues? —] | ] 21:41, 6 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == We Belong Together FAC == | |||
| I'll try to do some more work on it this week sometime, as I think it is close to being ready. I'm not sure who to recommend to ask for more help on copyediting.

| With respect, the RfA should not have been posted until the candidate had answered the questions and accepted the nomination. This should happen before the RfA is linked to ] - see ]. In the past several editors have seen a malformed nomination as reflecting badly on the admin candidate. I'd hate for this to happen to an otherwise good candidate (which Underneath-it-All appears to be). You might consider removing the RfA from the list until Underneath has had a chance to answer the questions and accept the nomination. Best, ]]] 21:06, 7 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Eternal Equinox, I've seen your comments on many talk page threads, interacting with Giano, Bishonen, Bunchofgrapes, and others... I think you may want to tone down the stridency of your remarks as they are bordering on incivil. That bunch is a circle of friends that tends to be quite jocular and teasing with each other... don't read their banter as incivility you need to respond to. And maybe you ought to consider not participating at all if you can't play along with them at their level, because you're setting yourself up for blocking if you aren't careful.

| :I am not evading any bans by logging into my account, editing, and then logging out to have the system become blocked by Misplaced Pages. Anyway, I am responding here: ], I explained to you very specificly on your talk page that I did not have enough time to type to you on your talk page. You were ''far'' to critical and did not allow me enough time, so I mailed you as an IP. As a result of your ignorance and not even ''allowing'' me to respond, I am going to report you. No, I do not intend to open an RfC because I do not have time for that. But I will be reporting you and keeping tabs on each and every one of your contributions. ''Do not'' remove this message as vandalism or evasion because as I've already stated, I am not logging in, posting a message, and then logging out to find the computer in this library blocked. I am also not making any other edits for now because I really don't care. ] 19:50, 9 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::What are you talking about? You can edit your own talk page even when you are blocked; you don't have to do it as an anon. As far as "reporting" KillerChihuahua, she hasn't done anything wrong. —] (]) 19:57, 9 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :::Did you skip the important words that I typed? Once I log out of my account, the system will be blocked on the computer I am currently using; this isn't going to happen for the sake of the others in this library. Also, yes she has because I already explained to her why I had to edit Bishonen's talk page — I just wanted to make something clear. ''AND'' in that edit you'll notice I typed "this will be my last edit to this page other than the final goodbye". She has demonstrated bad faith in blocking since I provided an explanation. As far as I believe, this ban is very inappropriate and should be removed since I was only doing something in good faith; after all, what I typed on her talk page was definitely the reason why you people will not leave me alone. ] 20:00, 9 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::::In addition, we have a ''major'' issue regarding HeyNow10029: what is She says that images can't be included in articles while up for deletion. Nonsense!

| Please clarify: You state "I explained to you very specificly on your talk page that I did not have enough time to type to you on your talk page" So you typed, on my talk page, that you did NOT have time to type to me on my talk page???

| :It means this: ''I was going to tell you just why I had posted another message on Bishonen's talk page''. As it appeared, I was not given enough time. In the case that I ''had enough time'', perhaps you would have said "okay, you had something to tell her, but ''don't'' do it again, but I couldn't even get that far. ] 20:17, 9 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :(Edit conflict with KillerChihuahua posting now): | |||
| :Another thing to note: ] ''extends'' my block because I "post personal attacks and disrupt WP" — no! I am becoming more and more aggitated with weak reasons to block others. I want to be unblocked now because I have to finish an FAC, which will be ending soon and there are still outstanding objections. I have said it many times, I'll say it again: ''I did not receive enough time to message her on her talk page and she was far too critical''. I would like to be unblocked now to finish everything I've been meaning to do: I don't ''have three days''. I will be leaving this library on Sunday afternoon, the time in which I would like somebody else to finish the ] FAC. Could somebody please believe me?

| :If you wanted to be left alone, ''you wouldn't edit disruptively on pages like ]''.

| *You ''ignored'' my warning, and you now want a free pass because ''if you'd had time you would have explained why you ignored my warning''? | |||
| It is still 1, 2, 3. I warned, you ignored my warning, I blocked. Very simple. Nothing you have said here, and certainly not all the posts you have made as an IP, has changed any of that. ] <sup>]</sup> 20:32, 9 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :Then that's nice. I'll be editing anonymously — I ''have'' to finish the ] article, and has ''NOBODY ABSOLUTELY NOBODY'' realized that HeyNow10029 is attempting to orphan the images at ]? ''WHERE IS THERE A POLICY THAT SAYS IMAGES CANNOT BE USED IN ARTICLES WHEN THEY ARE AT ]?'' ] 20:34, 9 June 2006 (UTC) | |||
| So nobody cares about what HeyNow10029 is doing? Well I'm just going to continue to IP-jump until my conflicts have been resolved — I ''will'' get WBT up to FA, nad this is evidently a tactic so that it fails and so that you can keep me around longer (I did say I'd stay until it gets promoted) so that you can torture me longer. And I will stay until the images at ] are fixed, which will be deleted because of HeyNow's misconduct, which nobody seems to care about quite suspiciously. This means you just don't want to see me and you don't care what she does. Well two can play at that. ] 20:45, 9 June 2006 (UTC) | |||

| ], please unblock me. I'm serious about never editing again. Let me finish what I came to start, and then I won't bother you people anymore. ''This is seriousness taken to the top''. I'm fed up, exhausted, and irritated. I don't feel the need to be here anymore. If you just let me finish one FAC and somewhat tidy one other article, I will leave you all. I won't compromise this any other way; I'm letting you have what I know that you want to have: the departure of me. You know you want this, and I know that I want this too since I won't have time to edit for four months. When I come back from Japan, I'll be too tired to even ''want'' to return to Misplaced Pages — just let me do this, because if you don't, I'll be gone and ] and ] won't be completed.
