	== Taylor swift==
	I mean it’s been fixed... but I think it’s ridiculous that you would remove Taylor swift from the pop icon page. It just seems a little biased and that’s not what Wilkipiedia is about. If all editors could get their facts straight before resorting edit undoing wikipedia would be a lot better off. Maybe next time do some research before undoing anything anywhere...

	:As part of this project, the feed will have some larger updates to functionality next month.

Thank you ] (]) 14:14, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
	;Moving to Draft and Page Mover
	*Some unsuitable new articles can be best reviewed by moving them to the draft space, but reviewers need to do this carefully and sparingly. It is most useful for topics that look like they ''might'' have promise, but where the article as written would be unlikely to survive AfD. If the article can be easily fixed, or if the only issue is a lack of sourcing that is easily accessible, tagging or adding sources yourself is preferable. If sources do not appear to be available and the topic does not appear to be notable, tagging for deletion is preferable (PROD/AfD/CSD as appropriate). See additional guidance at ].
	*If the user moves the draft back to mainspace, or recreates it in mainspace, please do not re-draftify the article (although swapping it to maintain the page history may be advisable in the case of copy-paste moves). AfC is optional except for editors with a clear ].
	*Articles that have been created in contravention of our ] or written from a blatant NPOV perspective, or by authors with a clear ] might also be draftified at discretion.
	*The best tool for draftification is ]<sup>(])</sup>. Kindly adapt the text in the dialogue-pop-up as necessary (the default can also be changed ]). Note that if you do not have the ] userright, the redirect from main will be automatically tagged as ], but in some cases it might be better to make this a redirect to a different page instead.
	*The ] userright can be useful for New Page Reviewers; occasionally ] is needed during NPR activities, and it helps avoid excessive R2 nominations which must be processed by admins. Note that the Page Mover userright has higher requirements than the NPR userright, and is generally given to users active at ]. Only reviewers who are very experienced and are also very active reviewers are likely to be granted it solely for NPP activities.

(Note you need to be at the ".js" page for the script for the install button to appear, not the information page)
	*]<sup>(])</sup>: Creates a scrolling new pages list at the left side of the page. You can change the number of pages shown by adding the following to the next line on your common.js page (immediately after the line importing this script): <code><nowiki>npp_num_pages=20;</nowiki></code> (Recommended 20, but you can use any number from 1 to 50).
	*]<sup>(])</sup>: Is requesting revdel complicated and time consuming? This script helps simplify the process. Just have the Copyvio source URL and go to the history page and collect your diff IDs and you can drop them into the script Popups and it will create a revdel request for you.
	*]<sup>(])</sup>: Creates a "Page Curation" link to ] up near your sandbox link.
	*]: Creates links next to the title of each page which show up if it has been previously deleted or nominated for deletion.
	*]<sup>(])</sup>: A fantastic tool for adding WikiProject templates to article talk pages. If you add: <code><nowiki>rater_autostartNamespaces = 0;</nowiki></code> to the next line on your common.js, the prompt will pop up automatically if a page has no Wikiproject templates on the talk page (note: this can be a bit annoying if you review redirects or dab pages commonly).

			If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing!

			Whatever Modi's past role may have been, it does not justify him being placed in the IPL parent category. You are evidently looking at this through the wrong end of the telescope. The real purpose of categories in any system, not just this site, is to provide users with a means of navigation. Site editors must therefore decide what goes into a category on the basis of that category's purpose, not on the basis of connectivity (although, obviously, that must also exist). If the latter applied, there would be tens of thousands of articles in the IPL category and how would that help the readers? Modi, like all the teams, their owners, their players, their venues, etc. belongs in a suitable sub-category. I'll leave it alone for now, though, and let you think about it. ] (]) 15:03, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

	*'''Community Wishlist''' Voting takes place '''16 to 30 November''' for the ], and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is '''very important''' as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.

			'''Backlog update:''' The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to {{no ping\|Schminnte}}, who led with over 2,300 points.
	:If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.

			Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to {{no ping\|JTtheOG}}, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
	:We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Misplaced Pages that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.

			Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the ].
	:With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also ], and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an ] of ''The Signpost'' which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.

			It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

To understand this, compare the total available certifications of all the artists in the 200 million category, along with the year they first charted, and see the difference for yourself. ] (]) 23:16, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Album certifications

Hi, I have a question and would love your opinion. I’ve noticed you’ve done this before. But I’m in a dispute with an editor regarding album/single certifications, if an album has a ref with its sales but the cert was updated after the article was published what is supposed to be in the box? this user reverted it by bringing up a discussion I opened over 3 years ago regarding this type of issue. Majority of the time I’ve seen most users remove the sales after an updated cert is released due to it being "outdated". I opened a discussion here but they’re insinuating that I’m wrong. I would like to get an opinion from you if you’re able to please. Pillowdelight (talk) 23:41, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

New pages patrol newsletter

Hello TheWikiholic,

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:

You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.

Mamidala Yashaswini Reddy

It's not clear what you thought you were achieving by dicking around with Mamidala Yashaswini Reddy and Yashaswini Reddy Mamidala. I see zero support for your actions on Misplaced Pages:Merging. The main result appears to be a degradation of the article, insofar as the article title now disgrees with the infobox title. All told, deeply unhelpful. --Tagishsimon (talk) 03:28, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Can you please explain this edit of yours? You should have at least referred to the edit history of both pages to know which one was created first. We usually merge or redirect newly created pages to the existing page. TheWikiholic (talk) 05:23, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

You have created the article with the title Yashaswini Reddy Mamidala and I have started the article with the title Mamidala Yashaswini Reddy. I have started the article since I was not aware that a article was already started earlier but pointing the fact that my article was supported with more references than yours. Since the correct title was to be Mamidala Yashaswini Reddy (that is created by me) after the merge was performed by Tagishsimon, I made a redirect on your article since your title was not in the right format.

You have now made the entire merger process complicated by moving my original Mamidala Yashaswini Reddy to a draft with a wrong title that you initially created and remerging into the article created by you with moving the wrong title of yours to the correct title again which was not needed since the redirect was already properly performed to the correct title bearing article and references. 456legend (talk) 07:46, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Assuming good faith, I take your argument that you are not aware of the existing page when you create a new page of the same subject.

But once you became aware of the existing page, instead of redirecting the newly created page of yours and changing the title according to the most reliable sources, you redirected the existing page to the newly created page of yours. TheWikiholic (talk) 14:39, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Modi

Whatever Modi's past role may have been, it does not justify him being placed in the IPL parent category. You are evidently looking at this through the wrong end of the telescope. The real purpose of categories in any system, not just this site, is to provide users with a means of navigation. Site editors must therefore decide what goes into a category on the basis of that category's purpose, not on the basis of connectivity (although, obviously, that must also exist). If the latter applied, there would be tens of thousands of articles in the IPL category and how would that help the readers? Modi, like all the teams, their owners, their players, their venues, etc. belongs in a suitable sub-category. I'll leave it alone for now, though, and let you think about it.

Can you please share her missing certifications (including their previous certification levels) one by one with their certified units and sources? TheWikiholic (talk) 14:58, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

The list is in the talk page of the list of best selling music artists. I'll work later on the certification when I am back home, and write on the same page. LilTrilly (talk) 15:50, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello TheWikiholic,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

Fearless (Taylor Swift album)

"The first week of sales for each album is important" is this a guide written anywhere or is it something you came up with? Not to mention this fact's awkward placement disrupts the flow of the topic sentence (originally: "A commercial success in the U.S., Fearless set many chart records and catapulted Swift to mainstream prominence"). Ippantekina (talk) 04:49, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

I would like to add that I was the one who brought this article to GA, FA, and GT if that should make a difference. Ippantekina (talk) 04:49, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

See the page is a standalone article of an album, and the commercial performance of that album is important in its own right. USA is the world's biggest market in the world and debuting it atop of bb200 chart by selling "xyz" numbers of copies is very significant. That her recent albums sold more have no role in the performance of this specific album. TheWikiholic (talk) 13:21, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Michael Jackson certifications

List of music artists by net worth

Hi, could you please verify Jackson's networth data? If there was a higher estimated before, or after, by Forbes? You might also suggest overall improvements to the list. Thanks, --Apoxyomenus (talk) 16:54, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

In 2018, Forbes reported that Michael Jackson's total career pretax earnings, both in life and posthumously, amounted to $4.2 billion. However, aside from this report, I have not seen any estimates of Jackson's net worth exceeding $350 million during his lifetime, even though he claimed it was over a billion dollars in the television special "Living with Michael Jackson" with Martin Bashir.

I believe the figures provided by Yahoo regarding Jackson's net worth are significantly underestimated and not well-researched. They seem to confuse the value of Jackson's name and likeness with the subject of the case between the Jackson estate and the IRS. According to Billboard, People magazine, and Rolling Stone, the estate is worth over $2 billion. The estate has earned more than $2.7 billion as of 2023, and according to multiple sources, his Mijac catalog is valued between $1.2 billion and $2 billion.1, 2 Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that his estate is worth over $2 billion.

Best Selling Artists

Michael Jackson was recently certified for Rock with You in Spain, this adds 30k to his total bringing his certified sales up to 290.18 million. I had already accounted for this, but you reverted it. So you will have to make this change yourself then.

https://www.elportaldemusica.es/awards/index?AwardsSearch%5Bartist%5D=MICHAEL+JACKSON&AwardsSearch%5Btitle%5D=&AwardsSearch%5Byear%5D=2024&AwardsSearch%5Bweek%5D=&AwardsSearch%5Bgroup%5D=&AwardsSearch%5Baward%5D=&page=1&per-page=10 Never17 (talk) 05:01, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

It was already added before your edit TheWikiholic (talk) 17:33, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Gotcha. Thank you for your hardwork. Imputing the sales from every country comes results in (177.3 million + 4.65 million + 14.12500 million + 43.48 million + 11.7 million + 8.64000 million + 7.72000 million + 460 000 + 2.2 million + 1.58000 million + 2.46500 million + 1.33000 million + 275 000 + 3 million + 1 million + 5.69 million + 664 000 + 695 000 + 1.19700 million + 530 000 + 384 127 + 912 500 + 125 000 = 291.1 Million)

So i decided to make that change to reflect it. Never17 (talk) 17:40, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

This calculation is incorrect. The totals have been calculated on a country-by-country basis. For example, you cannot combine the 125K from Portugal with 384,127 from another country, or 695K from Belgium. The article currently excludes sales totals below 100K. It's advisable to revert this edit, as you can't apply this approach solely to Jackson. TheWikiholic (talk) 19:09, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

I thought we were going by the sum of every country's certified sales.

The Beatles adds up to 295 million, they have that

Elvis Presley adds up to 234 Million, he has that

There's no deviation between the sum of their figures and their certified sales. But his figures for some reason will result in a different input. Never17 (talk) 19:32, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Unless the method you are talking about it, is applying new certifications to the overall total rather than the sum. In which case that makes sense. Never17 (talk) 19:36, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Coldplay

Why have you removed my edit pointing out Coldplay sold 200 million records? If you think the source is not reliable I can find another one for you. GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 16:36, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

The total available certifications for Coldplay (154M) isnt enough for the claimed sales of 200M for an artist debuted in the late 90's or peaked in 21st century. TheWikiholic (talk) 16:47, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

The older the act, the more undercertified they are. Coldplay only has the United Kingdom being consistently updated, selling 200 million records with 154 million being already certified is not inconceivable for them, specially when the sources for 100 million claim those are album units alone rather than albums + singles. GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 16:52, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Most sources uses albums sales for record sales in general and the older acts doesn't have certifications updated doesn't mean they have millions of certifications to updated. The recent certifications of Coldplay are majority are automatic (UK in general) streaming generated. There are multiple independent reliable sources reports Beatles, Michael Jackson and Elvis has sold more than a Billion records but we are not taking those numbers. TheWikiholic (talk) 17:03, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Most sources for Coldplay at 100 million specifically say "albums" instead of records, so it's not the same thing at all. And your comparison is really dishonest, there's a big difference between saying an act with 154 million certified units sold 200 million and an claiming an act with 400 million certified units sold 1 billion. GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 17:07, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Coldplay's first record charted in 1999, by which time most of the certifying bodies active today were already established. However, they didn't receive many certifications before the 2010s, meaning that most of their certifications come from streaming-generated songs. It's important to note that certifications don't equate to total sales, and Coldplay's certifications alone aren't sufficient to place them in the 200 million records club. To understand this, compare the total available certifications of all the artists in the 200 million category, along with the year they first charted, and see the difference for yourself. TheWikiholic (talk) 23:16, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

So when they reach 200 million in certifications you will finally stop pretending they are a commercial failure then? Alright, I'll wait then. But sources still say 100 million ALBUMS and not RECORDS so stop changing that. GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 19:33, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

The media began using albums instead of records after you made this change on the Coldplay article. It means they might have copied the wording from the Misplaced Pages itself. Recommend you to familiarise with WP:Circular TheWikiholic (talk) 19:59, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

How do you explain the British Phonographic Industry and Variety using albums instead of records before I made the edit then? GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 20:02, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

BPI doesn't track the record sales outside of UK, and both BPI and Variety reporting the same thing on the same day (on May 5, 2021) doesn't look like a coincidence, but it is obvious that they are reporting what the record label released. Besides that it's common among media to report record sales as album sales. So no need to add any footnotes when we have sources like BBC and EW explicitly reporting record sales instead of album sales a few days prior and after to this. TheWikiholic (talk) 20:20, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

There are multiple articles from the BBC saying 100 million albums instead of records:

Pollstar, Rolling Stone and The Telegraph also have made the same claim, do you genuinely believe my little edit was so influential? That none of these media outlets have fact checked anything? You are just in denial at this point.

And here's yet another source from before my edit was made:

GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 20:42, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

By the way, what are you trying to prove by saying "they are reporting what the record label released"? That's literally what all outlets do, even the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 20:53, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Certifying bodies do not report exactly what the label report. They do an independent audit by using an independent agency and reward certifications if the audit figures meet their thresholds. TheWikiholic (talk) 21:16, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

We are just repeating stuff here. I'll only answer on Talk:List of best-selling music artists from now on. GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 21:19, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Bad album

Hi, I think it would be best to restore the comparisons passage back to the Legacy section. It still fits in and is relevant. Also, you should move to the rankings to the Critical reception for Jackson's other releases as well. Slowvans321 (talk) 18:34, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

I have no issues with incorporating relevant content into the legacy sections without bloating the article, as it already contains similar content in both the critical reception and legacy sections. TheWikiholic (talk) 00:49, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
