Not to be pushy

I do not wish to sound pushy, so if I am, I heavily apologize. As per one of User:Winnermario's final wishes, I plan on nominating Hollaback Girl for featured article status on November 13, 2005. Would it be possible for you to complete the chart trajectory by that date? --Hollow Wilerding 00:12, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Hey, thank you for adding the chart trajectory! :) I was also wondering, would it be possible to format it the way that "Cool" has it layed out? --Hollow Wilerding 23:59, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

At this point I am aware that I am becoming a nusiance, but pushing the FA status for Hollaback Girl is something I want to accomplish because of User:Winnermario. The "Cool" position of the week in Canada is #12, however, since I have been unable to locate the U.S. position, could you hold off updating its trajectory? Thank you, and I was just wondering: does the program you use create an unlimited line graph (I know, it stops somewhere, but you know what I mean)? --Hollow Wilerding 13:37, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi! Could I request another favour from you? I have a friend in Australia who happened to stumble upon the Australian chart trajectory for "Hollaback Girl". If you have the time (you don't need to add it anytime soon), could you please add it to the trajectory in the article? Much appreciated.

1 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 8 - 17 - 21 - 31 - 41 - 50 - 72 - 79 - 91 - 83 - 93 - 99.

--Hollow Wilerding 19:12, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

I thank you for helping with Hollaback Girl. If you ever require any help on an article, just ask me, okay? It has been good working with you. --Hollow Wilerding 01:39, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

I have a question for you, concerning this edit made by User:Mel Etitis. According to him, charts should not have the year repeated, yet he reverted my chart edits and kept "2005" there. Also, because of Hollaback Girl and Cool's stats, they are supposed to show an example for future Misplaced Pages song articles. Is it there a reason he moved "Chart performance" to the bottom with the charts, and reverted the header "Writing process" back to "Song information" when it was him who said "Song information" has no meaning? His intentions are becoming very questionable. This is also exhibited on my talk page, where he wrote this. I am beginning to wonder if he is here only to hassle its users. --Hollow Wilerding 20:47, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Madonna commons picture

Hi, an anon ip changed the description of this Image:Madonna0605.jpg on commons at 18:56 from Source: courtesy of the magazine publisher, Meredith Corporation to uploaded by a fan. User:Red-Blue-White then removed the image from Madonna (entertainer) at 19:04 claiming the image is not PD. I don't think we have to be from mensa to work that out :-) Arniep 19:35, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

they reverted it back stating The picture is uploaded by an unknown not announced person. :-( Arniep 20:40, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

FA

Hi EM. Ive seen all the great work that you have done on the MC. article, so I was wondering you would mind taking a look at Celine Dion. Its far from finished (it may have a few subtle language errors), but ive been working on it and would like to submit it for FA status by the end of this month. At the moment, images are my main concern. Also, I know the sources are not cited properly, but Im gonna fix that friday (my only free day). I have a test that I really need to go study for. Anyway, please take a look and get back to me if its not a bother. Thanks in advance.

PS Ive made a change to your userpage. See if you can spot the dif. Θrǎn e (t) (c) (e-mail) 22:04, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Another issue concerning User:Mel Etitis

Mel Etitis seems to have a blatant number of reasons for his opinion being the correct one. Judging by some of his edits in Cool (song), he insists that songs with remixes are spelled out the following...

"Cool" (album version)

"Cool" (Phoetex remix)

...over the correct form:

"Cool (Album Version)"

"Cool (Phoetex Remix)"

His behaviour is not one to clash with, and unfortunately, I've met with this fate. I'd really appreciate it if you could give me some advice. Mel Etitis is pushing my buttons with inaccurate edits. I apologize for continuously hounding you. --Hollow Wilerding 21:00, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Well, um, thanks for the advice? --Hollow Wilerding 22:04, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

About Smallville Credits

hi, i wonder, why are you doing this to Smallville? it took me months to complete that article with big effort , every single day i just revived a lonely article and now you just want to delete an article because you just want to do it? before setting up a deletion mark, just be decent and add a reason ok? then why not try puttin that deletion mark everywhere on wikipedia as you wish

why not do that to the OC page for example? be fair c'mon there won't be any copyright issues, the WB just wants to promote their series and we are helping giving information to everyone, that's Misplaced Pages about passing the knowledge to everyone...

--Charlie144 07:08, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Comment

I actually think it would be better and more organize if we separate the articles by albums instead of years just look at Madonna's page it's very neat and about Ashlee Simpson it would be better if you separate film and music and the controversies.

Thanks

About your cover image for Cool (song)

By the file name it appears to originate from Amazon. There is no clear policy about this, but personally I would recommend scanning an image yourself because even with fair use it is a commercial third vendor which can technically claim copyright on the jpg. If you can rescan it (because I don't have the single) then you would make it easier. IIRC Amazon had once been asked about using their images but couldn't give a positive or negative reply. Even though the image may originate from Interscope, it is not always the case for commercial vendors and often they have to create the images themselves, so you cannot say that it is from Interscope. It could very well be produced by amazon. My recommendation is please scan it yourself and replace the image to prevent any problems. KittenKlub 16:21, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

I've checked the user out, but he doesn't seem to be online that much, so I made the statement in the Talk Page. I am still curious about this case, because it seems like the vendor has commercial interests since it's part of their business. KittenKlub 17:31, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Well you'll have to also address this to the user who placed the images on Hollaback Girl (who I am assuming is the above?). --Hollow Wilerding 21:02, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

I do see, thanks. Also, I'd recommend that you archive your talk page. It's growing rather... long, for lack of a better word. --Hollow Wilerding 21:16, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Unless I've yet to see it, could you add the source from where you located the quote by Stefani on Cool (song)? Much appreciated, oh, and congratulations on November! :) –Hollow Wilerding 23:37, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

It's okay, we all make silly errors; could you add the source since you were the one who discovered it? Much appreciated, as always. –Hollow Wilerding 20:55, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Image:Janet Jackson Nude Sunbathing.jpg

Why did you tag this as no copyright info? It was clearly labeled as a screenshot from a film ({{film-screenshot}}), which is fair use. This photo illustrates the section in the Janet Jackson article that describes a surreptitious film of Jackson taken by paparazzi. Firebug 23:20, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

• No one knows who the copyright holder on this video is. Mainstream media (see ) discussed this video. As per MSNBC: "The exact source of the video and when it was shot was unclear. Photos taken at the same time popped up online last year." Thus, it is essentially impossible to provide more detailed information. Why would fair use depend on who the copyright holder is? Firebug 23:27, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Misplaced Pages:Fair use requires "Proper attribution of the source of the material, and attribution of the copyright holder (if it is different) where possible". In this case, it is not possible, since no one knows who the copyright holder of the film is. Furthermore, your statement that it is necessary to write an essay for each photo explaining why it is fair use does not match Misplaced Pages practice. The explanation is already covered by the template; before viewing the photos uploaded by you, I have not seen a single fair use screenshot that met the criteria you outline. Look at almost any article that includes film, computer, video, or game screenshots, and these will all use the template as their explanation of fair use. Firebug 23:49, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
    • As an example, see all of the following:
      • Image:Star wars dvd cover.jpg
      • Image:Indiana.jpeg
      • Image:Pac-man.png
      • Image:Super Mario Bros box.jpg
    • These are all fair use images on important, high traffic articles. None of them justify fair use beyond the template. Nor are these anomalies. This is the norm. Please provide evidence that this is not acceptable practice on Misplaced Pages. Remember, policy is not set in stone; it is set by practice and consensus. Firebug 23:53, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Sources for Cool (song)

Good work there. Jkelly 18:03, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Check out Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/The Waterboys for some irony; I wound up getting feedback of concern for using material from the American Academy of Poets and World Music: The Rough Guide. The comments were completely understandable, but I found it a little amusing in the context of disputes over what counts as a reliable source for Cool (song) and Hollaback Girl. Jkelly 18:16, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

FAC/Marilyn Manson

Thanks for your input last month at Misplaced Pages:Peer review/Marilyn Manson. The article benefited greatly from all of those comments, and it's now a Featured Article candidate. I would definitely appreciate your vote! --keepsleeping say what 20:05, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

• I've addressed your objection. Thanks for voting. --keepsleeping say what 23:00, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Some curious questions

Seeing as you were interested in contributing to Cool (song)'s featured article status, I was curious to know if you could quickly scan another Gwen Stefani single Hollaback Girl. Its nomination at FAC failed, and unfortunately, I myself can't seem to pick out any other edits that have to be made to the article. It would be appreciated on all levels.

Also, you seem to have yourself categorized as a "Wikipedian teenager". Are you really a teenager? Your behaviour and personality (from what I've gathered) could classify you as an adult in my book of life. —Hollow Wilerding 01:18, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the web-link, and I suppose it is very cool to have teenagers editing on Misplaced Pages! :D —Hollow Wilerding 13:42, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Kelly Clarkson

Hi, thanks for your message to me about the edits made to Kelly Clarkson's page. I'm thinking of complaining to the powers that be of Misplaced Pages, because it is ungrammatical in English to write a title with only the first letter of the initial word and nouns in capitals, leaving the rest in lower-case letters, and titles of things such as books, songs, programmes etc. are supposed to use single quotation marks (' ') when italics are not available (i.e. in handwriting), but it is available on WIkipedia, and should be used.

I don't think the rules here have been really thought through very well, and seem to me to be in quite a mess.

Leon.

Mariah Carey references

Sure thing. I've got a bit of free time this afternoon, so I'll work on it and get back to you. Do you have any specific requests in mind? Like specific albums that should be reviewed, etc., or should I just try for a random assortment? Also, any preference for magazines like Entertainment Weekly over news print sources? --Spangineer (háblame) 19:40, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

All done. Check the talk page, and let me know if you need anything else. --Spangineer (háblame) 21:02, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Mariah Carey "Striptease"

Thank you for your concerns over the passage. In fact, what I described is what happened. She merely took off her sweater, and had a top and hot pants undernearth. For some bizarre reason, people subsequently described this as a "striptease," when it was anything but. I addressed this by describing what precisely did happen, but at the same time, mentioning how those who reported it described it. In so doing, I addressed the fact that they reported it inaccurately, while still mentioning what they said. This did not involve any original research, since the sources I utilized were the actual broadcast and the descriptions people (like news outlets or commentators) gave on it. If you have any other questions about it, feel free to ask. :-) Thanks. Nightscream 17:53, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Curiosity again

I must be vexing you out of your spirits by now (and sorry if I am), however because of your participation in bringing "Cool" to featured article status (among others), I was wondering if you would like to edit Stefani's What You Waiting For? for featured status? It'd sort of be like a collaboration, and User:DrippingInk will be participating (despite his mirror past). I'll be awaiting your reply! —Hollow Wilerding 14:16, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Of course I do not take this personally. Your contributions on Misplaced Pages are excellent, regardless of the article you edit, so thank you nonetheless. Perhaps we could collaborate some other time. —Hollow Wilerding 16:15, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Administrators' rollback et al

Orane (do you mind if I call you that?), I just noticed this revert of yours on Mariah Carey, and I thought I'd tell you about something to do with the administrators' rollback feature. Per Misplaced Pages:Revert, "Rollbacks should be used with caution and restraint. Reverting a good-faith edit may send the message that "I think your edit was no better than vandalism and doesn't deserve even the courtesy of an explanatory edit summary." It is a slap in the face to a good-faith editor; do not abuse it. If you insist on using the rollback feature for non-vandalism edits, be sure to explain on the talk page of the user whose edit(s) you reverted." I didn't think the edits were that great either, but just a simple edit summary explaining the revert goes very far; additionally, it means that Special:Recentchanges patrollers won't mistake the editor being reverted for a vandal. On an unrelated note, I read yesterday that somebody whom we both like received eight Grammy nominations, which is cool. :) Anyway, see you! Extraordinary Machine 21:54, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply, and no, I dont mind, please call me Orane (that's my name). As for the rollback, I apologise, I should have explained my reasons on that talk page (its just that I was rushing as I was late for work. Also, that rollback button causes one to become quite lazy :-). Anyway, I digress. I didnt mean to send the message that "your edit wasn't good enough", but I thought that the additions slightly disrupted the flow of the intro, especially the additions at the end of it. Wont happen again without a discussion first.

Yep, M.C has eight Grammy nods. Call me skeptical or mean, but I believe that Im just being realistic when I say she wont win any (or will receive two at most).

Translated articles

I've seen that before on some Wikipedias - out of curiosity what is the point if only part of the article is translated and the content changes later on anyway? I always thought the message was to be written only when doing an entire translation. I'll add the template, but just curious. Mithridates 17:09, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Check the bottom of the page now. That's the same one I've seen the Interlingua Misplaced Pages use when doing the same thing. I assume that would be acceptable? Mithridates 17:25, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Question on Strickland article

What you're saying, then, is that no person or organization in the field of public relations, or in any way associated with Ms. Strickland, had anything to do with the creation of this article, or with its ascension to featured article status, in any way, shape, or form? BYT 18:41, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Strickland quotes remain unsourced

I have left a query for you on this at Talk:KaDee Strickland. BYT 13:45, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Celine Dion

This is probably a bother, but could you please take another look at the Céline Dion article. Ive taken the comments at the last FA and have tried to address them: Ive found many print sources, about 5 Books, more authoritative reviews:New york Times, Billboard.com, Los Angeles Times etc. Ive addressed her music, changes in sounds/genres, motivation etc. at the end of each sub-section, and Ive also added a "Image and Celebrity status" section at the bottom. You can reply at the peer review. Thanks. Oran e (t) (c) (e-mail) 01:19, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

By the way, do you know how to upload audio samples (or where I could get them). I have never done that. Oran e (t) (c) (e-mail) 01:27, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

You're a good editor, Extraordinary Machine

You obviously have what it takes to write a featured article. Why don't you focus on subjects that are more deserving of your talents? --malber 13:43, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

New Message

To see your new message see What.

Hallo EM

I'm not a brand new user. Count my vote or don't count my vote- it's the comments that matter and I said my piece. It annoys me that the right of editors to not register is challenged on wiki, despite the fact that refusing to countenance anonymity is against the rules, and in my opinion, anti wiki. This is obviously a charged issue at the moment. Once again, I don't mean to denigrate you personally, as I feel the problem here stems from deficiencies in the system itself, not just the quality of your efforts. I look forward to hearing your response to my comments on the Strickland FARC page- particularly your view as to whether the article breached the guidelines for an FA in the first place in hindsight. I personally feel that this point at least is manifest. Once again though, I am not attacking you- to my knowledge, you did (and pretty much continue to be doing) everything in the correct way. Signed (reluctantly)86.139.28.9 21:35, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

• Hi EM- Well, my opinion of the article is stated clearly elsewhere and I stand by that, but as a rule of thumb- don't worry about criticism. If nothing else, some important points about the FA process specifically and wikipedia in general have been made in the debate, which counts as a service by you (albeit indirectly!) to the project. To my mind, it wasn't your error, if an error was committed at all (and I have to say, in this case I think there was one). It's a shame you are absorbing such a lot of heat, I know it can't be too nice and of course it will soon die away. Don't worry too much about it and chin up! Cheers, 86.139.28.9 01:58, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Abusive User Named Parys

The Mandy Moore page that you contributed to has information on it contributed by a very abusive Misplaced Pages user named 'Parys'. Parys has been deliberately putting up false info about Mandy's forthcoming album that he knows is wrong here and on Mandy's official message board where the 'Mandy experts' realized he was lying.

So far, 2 of the Misplaced Pages pages he created or contributed heavily to have been deleted by administrators. Yet, he somehow has gotten them to be revived again using some sort of trick that may have involved 'merging' ( i am not very familiar with Misplaced Pages terminology).

Parys also got an administrator to ban the ip address of the main branch of the Los Angeles Public Library that has around 100 computers that have internet access. There are 1000s of people who use these computers and they will no longer be able to edit Misplaced Pages pages as a result of this action. I beleive, but am not positive about this, that he may have already, or will soon, also have banned the ip address of the UCLA library computers, which will also prevent 1000s of additional people from editing Misplaced Pages pages.

Parys is also the author of a book that is pornography about teenagers called 'High School Whore'. I mentioned this just so you can get a glimpse of the sort of personality he has.

He has also threatened several wikipedia users on his talk page and has threatened people on Mandy's official message board.

The misinformation that Parys is putting up about Mandy's forthcoming album could cause her to lose album sales, and to lose money as a result of that. Mandy has strong legal grounds for suing Parys for harassment, and since you are also now contributing to this deliberate misinformation, she could also sue you. So, please stop, for your own legal protection. Mandy's manager will not like the idea that his 15% of Mandy's income is lessened by even a single penny as a result of the misinformation that Parys and you are putting up on Misplaced Pages. I hope you stop what you are doing before it becomes necessary to inform him and Mandy's lawyers about this malicious hoax.

I am giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming that Parys tricked you into helping him by lying, the way that he has tricked others. You would do best to report Parys to administrators, as i am currently doing.

I dont even know you... But i tricked you... WTF Parys

Image at Benji Madden

As I assume you also have, I've been watching Benji Madden recently and noticed that people have been removing images from the article. Another editor said on Talk:Benji Madden that the image at Benji Madden was actually of Joel, not Benji. Could you please confirm or deny this on that talk page? --Idont Havaname 05:41, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you. By the way, I am aware that you saw my candancy at RfA. Just ignore it, as it has failed because of one incident. Thanks! :) —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 16:12, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Hey again, EM. I'm having a difficult time referencing a source at Luxurious (song). I was wondering if you knew the correction citation and could perhaps do it for me (if it isn't too much trouble)? Thanks!

This is the source. —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 03:22, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

No? Well you could have at least dropped me a line. All right, thanks anyway. Happy new year! —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 15:32, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it appears as though you did. Excuse my lazy eyes today, as this is an example of New Year's Eve night. Nonetheless, let's continue contributing this year too! By the way, don't leave Misplaced Pages, because your edits are excellent. (November is quite impressive.) Happy new year! —Hollow Wilerding . . . (talk) 15:48, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Re: Heaven (Ayumi Hamasaki single)

Where are you getting that this article is a song article? "HEAVEN" may be an Ayumi Hamasaki song in itself, but this article is about the single, which has multiple tracks and other such distinguishing factors. Calling the article a song article is misleading; a reader would probably think the article was about one particular song rather than a collection of songs. Furthermore, in reading your talk page, I see that you've moved other pages from "single" to "song" before, particularly F.E.A.R. (single), which was moved back after someone discussed it with you. How is the case of this single, and the other Ayumi Hamasaki singles, different from that case? Kamezuki 01:14, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I just looked over Misplaced Pages:Naming_conventions#Album_titles_and_band_names, and I didn't see anything concerning singles--just songs, albums, bands and the like. What part of this policy states that singles should be listed as songs? Like I said before, this article isn't about a song; it's about a single, which contains multiple songs. If the title of an article contains "song" when the article is not solely about one song, it can be misleading. I realize that nowadays, many of the "singles" released in Western countries are actually just one song and may not even be packaged in a physical medium; however, in Japan (and possibly in other countries), which has a single-driven market, singles are treated differently and cannot, and should not be lumped under the term "song".

Thank alot for your helpful tips on the policy. I'm very glad you tell me or I would not even read the policy all or even fix it. You are a very nice person. Darknshadow 23:55, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

A problem with your username

I just want to say that I first listened to 'Extraordinary Machine' about two weeks ago, and I love it. My problem is that every time I see an edit of yours on RC Patrol, it makes me want to listen to the whole album. Maybe if I grow tired of it, I'll have to whitelist your edits :). -- MicahMN | μ 18:10, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

What happen to the Confessions of a Broken Heart article?

What happened to Lindsay Lohan's article on Confessions of a Broken Heart? I was more than shocked that it was deleted. I, as a person who often visits Misplaced Pages, am not satisfied with the actions you have taken. I don't "like" Lindsay Lohan but her video is really interesting and I enjoyed reading that article. When I checked back 2 weeks later, it disappears. Where is your common sense? Why don't you delete the Hung Up Madonna song? It's just a music video, song, single like Lindsay's! Please stop being biased or I have to report you.

Response

Misplaced Pages is wrong then. Songs are not spelled out the way you insist they been when remixes have been created. I must refrain from reverting though, since you say it's part of the MoS. However, the archived talk page is ridiculous. I just discovered Misplaced Pages today and may not know much about it, but why would a talk page be archived if it exceeds 30KB? Judging by a few articles that are very good, they are over 50KB! The article on my favourite singer Mariah Carey approaches that distinction! That's just the main article itself though... why should a talk archive be treated the same way? 64.231.72.45 23:46, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I have a talk page called Hollow Wilerding? What do you mean that I've been reported for evading a block? Could you please answer my question? 64.231.72.45 23:59, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
