I used the colors of the Wikipedia categorys, for example, Studio Album is blue ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thriller_(album) ), greatest hits is green ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Their_Greatest_Hits_(1971%E2%80%931975) ) etc... also if they are more dark than colors of the List of Best Sellers. Where i can find the list of color codes for to post the colors more dark?Simone Jackson (talk) 15:21, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of colors will help you. — R² 13:27, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you :-) Simone Jackson (talk) 15:53, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You've probably already thought about it, but once your done with HIStory, you could nominate it and it's singles for WP:GT. You could use the HIStory sculpture as the free image. Pyrrhus16 14:43, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I will do. I'm a little unsure of the topics scope though. Will Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix ans it's own singles be inside the scope of the topic? If so, what about the Ghosts film? I'm almost certain the remix album is within the scope. — R² 14:54, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I think BOTDF, it's singles and Ghosts could also be included in the HIStory topic. If articles are allowed in more than one topic, then I could see a Michael Jackson videography GT, with all the stand-alone films/music videos; Ghosts, Thriller, Captain EO and Moonwalker. Pyrrhus16 15:26, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's also a possibility. — R² 17:03, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Realist, La Repubblica is one of the most important newspaper in Italy and MenStyle is the most important site of fashion in Italy. They are absolutely realiable sources.Simone Jackson (talk) 13:41, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, my bad about the newspaper, that's fine. But a fashion site is not qualified to document sales of albums. — R² 12:04, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, now sobstitute with a link of another important Newspaper that claims 32 million copies worldwide for Dangerous.Simone Jackson (talk) 14:27, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.

We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

The article 4 Minutes has a section where critics have compared the music video with MJ's "Thriller". Can the MJ wikiproject be used in the talk page then? --Legolas ^(talk2me) 12:29, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, no need for that, it's don't noteworthy to Michael Jackson's life. — R² 13:04, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In which case, while I'm here (Hi, btw!) would the MJ wikiproject tag belong on the "Torture (The Jacksons song)" page? I would think so, especially because of the wax dummy controversy. CarpetCrawler^{message me} 15:58, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Currently Jackson 5/Jackson's related material falls outside the scope of WP:MJJ, odd I know...— R² 16:24, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We have got fans! And I got a boyfriend!!! I can only say We Belong Together. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 08:46, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's quite hard for me to understand a word he is saying, is this Dance-pop by any chance? — R² 13:05, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Both Legolas and I are pretty sure that this is Dance-pop. A lot of hints are being dropped by the user that is accidentally revealing themselves. However, we have assumed good faith. Hersfold recommended we file a SPI. I personally don't know how to do that, so I haven't even touched that. I assume Legolas will file one when he feels the time is right. CarpetCrawler^{message me} 06:37, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Probably so. I really wish there was a better way of stopping sock puppetry. One of the reasons I gave up monitoring the Lady Gaga articles. These days I just stick to her main biography. — R² 10:30, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here. Well done! Rodhullandemu 22:27, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers. :D — R² 12:41, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. How have you been? Haven't spoken to you in a while.

I've seen your work and have been impressed, and I was wondering, if you're not too busy, if you could give me a little hand with an article. Right now, my main issue is writing about the music/song structure/composition etc. I have all the information (fixyourmix, LATimes and The Times). I'll get back to you with a sort of rough draft, if possible, and if you can help at all, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Orane (talk) 06:57, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm good thanks. Sure, I can help any time after May 21. Real life issues at the moment. After that I'll happily chip in. I'll add it to my to do list as a priority. — R² 12:41, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Realist, unfortunately May and June are insanely busy for me and I'm unlikely to find time here until at least July. Would that be okay for you? Regards, --—Cyclonenim | Chat  18:49, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

July is cool, I'm free all summer, except late August when I go to see Michael Jackson in concert :) — R² 19:01, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

..for reviewing "Miles Away". It passed its GA review. Yeahh. You are a really good help Realist. Thanks again. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 12:07, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem :D — R² 12:19, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, did you hear Gaga and Rihanna's duet single "Silly Boy". Its a killer tune seriously!! Also Madonna's new song "Revolver" has leaked! She's going bak to the dance floor again! --Legolas ^(talk2me) 06:07, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That article has been nominated for deletion. It's only a demo and was not performed by either artist. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 06:19, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ya obviously it will be nominated. Same for Silly Boy. I was talking about the tunes. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 04:12, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Your reversion created a non-standard infobox type for this album. Please do not change this. If you need to respond, please do so on my talk. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:56, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why it's not needed to signal the double albums in the list? Simone Jackson (talk) 20:37, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there a need? We don't signal any other form of album. — R² 19:15, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Because the double album has got a major price that penalise its sales. For this reason the RIAA counts the double albums for double. Simone Jackson (talk) 15:02, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

US criteria for certification have nothing to do with worldwide sales. You can't compare the two. We are not here to say HIStory "only" sold 20 million because it was expensive but a Britney Spears album sold loads of copies because it was half price. It's irrelevant, that's not what the list is for. — R² 13:11, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain to me why Digital Spy reviews are not professional. Showtime2009 (talk) 02:04, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you come there? One user is continuously adding OR while replacing a verifiable link of Daily Star which is a RS. That user may be correct but we simply donot have a link to support it. This resulted in the article being unstable hence a GA reassessment has been initiated. Can you please take a look? --Legolas ^(talk2me) 06:52, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll pop on over there later today. — R² 07:39, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please take a look. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 12:37, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I came a cross a web site that gives References about Michael Jackson shooting several scenes in Salvador,Brazil. If you watched the video already than you will see that most of the scenes were shot in Pelourinho, a District in Salvador,brazil. here's the link to the web site Olodum Is Bahia BigBossBlues (talk) 08:24, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if this article meets the requirements of WP:RS. I will post the link on the reliable sources notice board and see what some of the experts in referencing think. Thanks for your patience in this matter, I'll let you know their opinion asap. — R² 00:28, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I found what could be a Source website. here it is Michael Jackson Action. BigBossBlues (talk) 01:00 am, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Realist2 I found proof that Michael Jackson was filming in downtown Salvador and Rio de Janeiro. here's the link Michael Jackson They Don't Care About Us amateur version on set ULTRA RARE. this was the amateur version of They Don't Care About Us video.BigBossBlues (talk) 10:42 am, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

..tickets for this!!!!! Yeahhhh. August 3, here I come!!! --Legolas ^(talk2me) 07:41, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh, snap! That's the date I'm going. You might notice me, I've bought myself a "Beat It" jacket for the occasion. :) Pyrrhus16 09:50, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OMG, yay, but my concert aint till August 26. — R² 12:24, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OMG OMG!! Really !!! You all are going ?? I got this jacket specially for this!! Maybe you can see me too! By the way I also got tickets for the second leg of this. Didn't wanna miss it this time. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 04:30, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PS. If you get time go through this. Its amazing and has so much info that you will indeed go Ga Ga. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 06:13, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is indeed cute :D — R² 02:00, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I actually blocked this vandal, and edit conflicted with you when giving them a block notice. After those edits to Lady Gaga, I didn't think they were here to be constructive. Do you object to my block? Acalamari 02:25, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No not at all, with out a doubt a vandal only account, if not a sock puppet. If he apologizes and promises not to do it again we could give him another chance. — R² 02:33, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to respond to this last night but wasn't able to. Thank you for your response: I would have no objection to having them unblocked if they were to apologize, but there doesn't appear to any reqeuest for unblock. In addition, it seems that the Lady Gaga article has just been semi-protected which is good. Thanks. Acalamari 15:58, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've opened another peer review and invited the opposers from Billie Jean's FAC to comment. I was able to find a gif file for the moonwalk. Anyway, feel free to invite any additional reviewers. :) Pyrrhus16 15:01, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, will do. :) — R² 15:04, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA Thank you for participating in my "RecFA", which passed with a final tally of 153/39/22. There were issues raised regarding my adminship that I intend to cogitate upon, but I am grateful for the very many supportive comments I received and for the efforts of certain editors (Ceoil, Noroton and Lar especially) in responding to some issues. I wish to note how humbled I was when I read Buster7's support comment, although a fair majority gave me great pleasure. I would also note those whose opposes or neutral were based in process concerns and who otherwise commented kindly in regard to my record. I recognise that the process itself was unusual, and the format was generally considered questionable - and I accept that I was mistaken in my perception of how it would be received - but I am particularly grateful for those whose opposes and neutrals were based in perceptions of how I was not performing to the standards expected of an administrator. As much as the support I received, those comments are hopefully going to allow me to be a better contributor to the project. Thank you. Very much.

Are you one of the people that does Lily Allen's wiki page. If you are I have something interesting in which you put under the title Social Persona. Lily like her father is a Fulham FC fan. Here is the website page which gives you the information. http://www.showbizspy.com/article/185709/lily-allen-hates-british-football. Thanks. 80.195.21.194 (talk) 22:11, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't actually edit the page other than revert vandalism/unsourced info. Thanks for the link, I'm just not sure it's notable enough to be included in the biography. — R² 09:09, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have cleaned up Madonna and also updated the recent Mercy James adoption fiasco. But I believe the Personal life title is a little to against BLP don't you think so? can you think of something else? The DAvid Banda adoption has been changed to Adoption from Malawi. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 05:01, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think that other videos Michael Jackson has appeared in, such as "We Are the World" in 1985 and "Whatzupwitu" with Eddie Murphy in 1993 should be included? I somehow feel the page is missing something by not mentioning these at all... Ss112 11:29, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I'd note that Madonna isn't the first celebrity that user attacked. Robert Wagner got similar treatment on Talk:Natalie Wood re: Wood's death. This is winding down to requesting a ban I think. Wildhartlivie (talk) 11:41, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Just dropping by to say, "hi"! What's up? I am very close to nomination NJR for a FAN... very very close. Honestly all I need to do is see if the quoteboxes are fixed up, and what Closedmouth will say to the question I asked him. How about you? CarpetCrawler^{message me} 23:03, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm good, link me up when you send it over to FAC. — R² 10:26, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I have it watchlisted :D — R² 09:06, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't believe I actually thought it would be a great idea. No wonder people don't nominate articles for FAN anymore. Nothing makes you more interested in wanting to fully work on your article than snark comments like "Good thing Tony hasn't reviewed this yet...", and "For example, take a look at how the article strives desperately to achieve narrative flow in the Production section" *eye roll*. Because really, I was DESPERATELY trying to achieve narrative flow, I was up all night doing that. I'd withdraw now but I'd rather hear if anyone has any more comments before I do. CarpetCrawler^{message me} 20:12, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Jackson's Thriller sold not over 100 million copies. Pink Floyds' Dark Side of The Moon on the other hand sold at least over 45 million copies. The source is reliable. So there's no reason to make war edits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.198.67.201 (talk) 12:25, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not edit warring, the source simply does not comply with WP:RS, that's the end of the issue. — R² 10:09, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Real. Do you know how can I start a Wikiproject on Madonna? I was thinking if you could just give me some guidance. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 06:38, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

When I set up the Janet Jackson project I just copied all the pages from the Michael Jackson project. I made identical copies of everything just changing Michael to Janet. It's quite easy but time consuming. I don't believe we should start a project for Madonna unless there is enough interest from editors. I will join if it's set up obviously. — R² 08:44, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File:Allaroundamazingbarnstar3.png		All Around Amazing Barnstar
		For all of the help, kindness, and support I have received throughout our work together on No Jacket Required, IU award you this barnstar. Though unfortunately the FAN will most likely not go through, it was, is, and will always be a privilege to have worked with you on the article. Without your guidance and support, I doubt the article would have looked anywhere near as good as it does now, let alone even have a chance to be a featured article. With your help and guidance, I was able to turn an article from a GA to a very close FAC, which is something that is no easy task for an article about an album. Although the article won't pass its FAN, I want to thank you for your help and support, and hope that in the future, we can fix the concerns that were left to us by the users at the FAN page, and give it another go. Thanks again. You friend, CarpetCrawlermessage me 19:46, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
