Hello Legolas, how are you today? I'm just wandering why you always removed sub charts of the Billboard Hot 100. They are allowed yet you always removed :S. Just curious. Jayy008 (talk) 15:50, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PS. Is it a rule for the sales/shipments not to be included in the certifications box, people keep adding them back and I'm wandering if I have the right to revert their edits? Jayy008 (talk) 18:29, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jamie. To answer your both questions. Firstly, the reason I remove the sub-charts is because I don't want to give more emphasis on the US charts, but equal importance to all the territories an artist charted. Remember, every charting retailer has many sub-charts, so if you allow one, like Billboard, you will be challenged like why not allow the subcharts of the others? That way, the whole table will generally be a mess and become a WP:DIRECTORY.

For your second question, the reason sales/shipments are not included is because they are not a correct identification of the sales of an album or single. Very few general readers have the idea that sales=/=shipements. Hence, its better to remove such dubious information and let the certifications talk for themselves. You can very well cite this as reason and revert their edits. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:15, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Legolas, can you please add a rule about subcharts because I thought they was allowed. Also

Please "voice" your opinion in form of agree or disagree please about the sales/shipments so everyone knows it's not allowed. Jayy008 (talk) 16:04, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How is what I did original research? I didn't just make it up. Look at the list of Rock Band DLC. They're both on there. --Kevin W. 18:41, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because you did not cite a source, hence other readers won't be able to verify whether what you added was correct. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 02:57, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Legolas, this is great now thanks to the Telephone dispute, another user have added the other cover in the "Poker Face" article. This is getting really annoying. I hope I don't have to re-post everything over and over again. Regards. Frcm1988 (talk) 03:32, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just reverted it. That one grossly fails WP:NFCC as an exact same image exists in the music video section. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:34, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps something could be mentioned in the image's caption of the music video, that it was also used for some of the cd releases. Just to avoid more people trying to re-add the cover. Frcm1988 (talk) 03:40, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That can be done, however, I'm concerned the way Ryulong is being aggressive regarding the Telephone covers. That talk page is just a plain big mess. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:42, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I know, and the new people that are responding clearly don't even bother to read everything, many of them are not understanding what was the dispute in the first place. Frcm1988 (talk) 03:49, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Uber fans don't understand Wikipedia's policy, neither care. On top of that Ryulong threatening that he was an admin/godmin and hence everybody should listen to whatever crap he blurts out. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:52, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe he thinks like that because he is not familiar with songs or album articles. If he had been more involved with this kind of articles, he would certainly know that using multiple covers are not common, at least not for GA or FA. Frcm1988 (talk) 04:32, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ultimately when this song goes for FA (which I will definitely), it will be removed, so no harms done. He he. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 04:35, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I was wondering why performances such as Fever/Bad Girl and Take a Bow are included in the Notable Live Performances section, whereas the Express Yourself at the 1989 VMAs isn't. I think that was a great performance by her. I love that performance. I wanted to post this at Madonna Portal, but didnt know where to place it and it's been a while I post something here, so i dont really recall the symbols to use. Thank you!!! By the way, I'm glad wikipedia found a way to use my Notable Live Performances page in one of Madonna's related page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnnyboytoy (talk • contribs) 16:49, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok tomorrow (or later today) on friday 26, march i will close the consensus with the result to remove one of the covers (the black and white one). Is there an official way of doing so or is it simply disclosing the outcome of discussions? Lil-unique1 (talk) 03:53, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can simply close it, however, I fear, the aggressive nature of User:Ryulong might turn this nasty. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:55, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that massive vote of confidence. *sarcastic smile*. It was something that you started and the i've ended but i do fear bitter repraisals for said user... :( Lil-unique1 (talk) 03:57, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the support. Right i've closed the consensus. Please take a look on the talk page for the conclusion and summary i've written which officially closes the discussion. Lil-unique1 (talk) 04:11, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lol.. its a bit tragic but i guess the user has finally accepted the consensus. thanks for the headsup. Lil-unique1 (talk) 04:59, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could you reduce the massive quote that's slapped in the middle of the video section. i personally think its a copyvio and is fluffed up air in its current form. I'm sure we could pick a more significant portion of the quote to use instead and also paraphrase? Lil-unique1 (talk) 05:11, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sure I could. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 05:14, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please join here, based on your reversions, I thought I'd see about making it a propper rule Jayy008 (talk) 00:43, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Legolas, can you please Point this user to where it says that only one cover should be used in an article unless it's detremental to understanding the article I can't remember where it is, I'd really appreciate it if you did that, thank you! Jayy008 (talk) 19:10, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Legolas! How are you? :) I just wondering if you can give your opinion in this discussion? Because you are a very experienced user

Hi Legolas, how are you doing? There is an issue on the discussion page of Sticky & Sweet Tour (video) about the page name including "(video)" and not "(album)" at the end. I was wondering if you could clear the matter up. When I moved the page from Sticky & Sweet to Sticky & Sweet Tour (video), I was going by the change you made to The Confessions Tour (video) a while back. Maybe you can investigate if this is correct and let everyone know on the discussion page. Many thanks! --JWAD ^{Communicate|Nicely} 15:27, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Legolas, how are you? A long winded discussion on Record Charts has now allowed Pop Songs it's a rule to which genre charts are allowed and which aren't.

You're welcome Legolas, I just can't stand to see a well-written article lose its GA status just because a user wants you to make up facts that aren't available. Anyhow, I'm great! How are you? –Chase (talk) 19:50, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey buddy... I have come to ask a small favor from you. As you know, I am currently working on Kapoor's article in my sandbox for a while. However, I am yet to be finished and I am planning on adding some new information. When you have the time, could you please take a look at it and let me know what you think of it so far and/or ways that I could improve it further. I would really appreciate this. Thanks :) -- Bollywood Dreamz ^talk 16:50, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article has tremendously improved. I'm very happy with the structure and the biographic nature of the article that you have placed in your user area. I personally liked the fact that the personal life section was merged in the main biography (though I'm not sure if it was from the rearrangement that I did). First glance the article appears great. Here are my two cents.

The alternate text for the images, barring the infobox, seems inadequate. More explanation is needed. For eg, "A woman in a blue dress, leaning against a door and smoking" doesnot really portray any particular image. Try something like "A young woman with long, black hair smoking, holding the cigarette with her left hand. She wears a colorful dress and has bangles on her left hand. Her face is lighted from above, where she is looking." This gives the visualy impaired reader a much cohesive image to think about.

Look for wP:OVERLINK in the article. I found many.

Another concern is with the formatting of the sources. Online sources like Rediff, Boxoffice India, Bollywood Hungama etc are not supposed to be italicized, hence remove them. You can do it by making the work parameter of the {{cite web}} template like: work=''[[Bollywood Hungama]]''. This would remove the automatic italicization.

The Further REading section needs to be consistent with the formatting of the References section, especially dates. You can use the {{cite web}} template here also, rather than leaving them bare.

The section names like Debut and breakthrough (2000–2003) doesnot need the full expansion of both the years as they are in the same decade. Hence they can be shortened to Debut and breakthrough (2000–03) and likewise for the rest.

Try adding some more Free images from commons. At present non-free presides over the free one. I'm sure IndiaFM has pictures of Kareena at movie premieres etc, which can be definitely used. I hope you are aware of the IndiaFM commons right?

These are the things I found at glareworthy. Hope they help to get the article the bronze star. :) --Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:21, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for specifically outlining your concerns; they really helped a lot. :) -- Bollywood Dreamz ^talk 16:19, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, I saw that you uploaded a new version of the Telephone screencap I uploaded. First of all, I just wanted to say sorry for not getting it right the first time... I'm still working on familiarizing myself with the ins and outs of Wikipedia.

Other than that, I was wondering if you could answer me one question. In the future, should I try to crop screencaps as close as possible to just show the most important details? The reason I didn't do that with Telephone was because I thought doing so compromised Gaga's intended vision, and from what (I thought) I understood, Wikipedia wasn't supposed to compromise the artist's/director's/whoever's final release version of a motion picture. I'm sorry to bother you, but I figured if anyone would know, it'd be you. Thanks!! The Mach Turtle (talk) 09:34, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problems, you are doing a wonderful job already. The reason I uploaded a shorter version of the image is that as per Wikipedia's Non-free content policy, we cannot upload a huge size for something which is not free. Also, cropping is allowed, for the unimportant parts, like in the image I cropped some extra blank screen from sides, which doesnot improve the reader's understanding of the image. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 09:41, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've found a good source for the sales figure of Celebration in the US (218,000 units). You can add that into the album article and the album discography. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36666635/ns/business-media_biz/ 203.26.122.12 (talk) 03:03, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to bother but I am currently unable to find any reliable source to back up chart positions for the Japanese Albums Chart or certifications. I saw some on The Fame, I think it was, but since its written in Japanese, I do not understand anything and can't find the chart position or certification.

Hey, I'm really impressed with what you have been able to do over the past few years with all of your GAs and FAs. Me and a friend have been trying to get Sakis Rouvas to at least GA status, hopefully FA, but have run into some unbearable roadblocks that make it impossible to work on the article. Another editor has taken control of it and only wants things written her way, which in my opinion is very sensationally written. From previous interactions, I've found that she is a dedicated fan. Since you might not know, Sakis Rouvas is one of the biggest singers in Greece with a long career stretching back to the 1990s. He's twice represented Greece at the Eurovision Song Contest and has even released some English language material in countries such as France. The article is so close to becoming a GA or FA, that it's a shame we can't push it any further ourselves. I'm hoping that you could use your expertise to read through the article and weed out anything unacceptable for GA and FA and possibly help out to a greater extent if you find time. Thank you. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 14:23, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Of course I know Sakis Rouvas and this article is wonderfully constructed. My main concern is the huge amount of citation tags that are present. You have to replace them, then only we can proceed. Other than that there are some small things, but first you need to replace these tags with references. Just let me know when you replace these tags, I will say the rest. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:22, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know that I have taken over the GAN for Bad Romance. I've placed it on hold pending some small improvements, though for the most part it looks very good.

Thank you, –MuZemike 20:30, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't vandalizing, I was simply reverting an edit which I felt was unjustified as the cover being used was in fact an alternate cover and not a single cover as you claimed. Actually, I'm not exactly sure what it was you were trying to say but this image does add to the significance of the album as it appears in all international markets while the original image is only used in Japan, to my understanding. 66.68.15.142 (talk) 06:27, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just as a side note, saying "This is your last warning" seems very harsh. I don't think ultimatums are part of Wikipedia's behavioral policy. Maybe you could phrase it more nicely. 66.68.15.142 (talk) 06:30, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mr.Legolas, I have gone through all of your concerns that you earlier pointed out [on Kareena's article]. However, I am having difficulty with developing an "alt text" for the images used on the article, which seems to be pretty easy for you. If you don't mind, could you please come up with the alt text for the following five images (File:Kapoor at Gitanjali launch.jpg, File:Kapoor JabWeMet.jpg, File:Kapoor TReloaded-08.jpg, File:Saif & Kareena2.jpg and File:Globus kareenakapoorsittingontheballsummer08 pic.jpg).

Hi Legolas, I removed The Remix from the chronology at The Fame Monster and after I removed it, I looked through the history and noticed you were previously against this. You might wish to read this, from Template:Infobox album#Chronology: "In a studio album article, the chain (for most artists) should include only other studio albums, excluding live albums and compilations; these other types can also have their own separate chains."

I was not aware that there was previous reversion regarding this and if I was, I would have taken this matter to the article talk page. –Chase (talk) 23:09, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, how are you doing? I hope you're doing well! My apologies for the late reply, I only saw the message just now.
