Lyrics

It also says in there that we can't write articles consisting only of lyrics and that the amount of lyrics included within an article is open to interpretation and falls under fair use. CloversMallRat (talk) 17:02, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey and thanks for totally ignoring my response and never saying anything. CloversMallRat (talk) 16:18, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And how might I go about "discussing" it... something is flawed here, since the only "discussing" you seem to do is notifying me that I was walking the boundary lines on reverting. CloversMallRat (talk) 07:02, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AFD

Thanks for the heads up there. I've added evidence to an SP/I here as the new user has editing habits that are strikingly similar to a banned user. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 02:16, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

contestant articles section on AI9 talk page

I did not post that, Banananana88 did. MarkMc1990 (talk) 02:44, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you remove my table from the American Idol page?

You called the table unnecessary in your removal, but I think the table was very necessary. It was a simple convenient way of organizing the basic season information that one would otherwise have to read all over the very long article and individual articles for. You also mentioned the article being too long already -- just because it makes it longer, does not mean it does not improve the article. Most other reality shows with multiple seasons have similar tables on their main pages, see America's Next Top Model, So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing With the Stars, Survivor, Big Brother, The Bachelor, etc., to name a few. MarkMc1990 (talk) 03:13, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The table is unnecessary because the vast majority of the information in the table is already located in other tables in the article. The American Idol article has paragraph descriptions for each of the seasons where this information can be found. The other articles use these tables as navigational tools because instead of describing each season. I could also point that I know Top Chef, Project Runway and Shear Genius used to have tables that were changed to season descriptions. If you feel this table is necessary, start a discussion on the talk page and see if a consensus could be found. Aspects (talk) 19:04, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Billboard Charts

I just wanted to say thank you for opening discussion on billboard component charts. if you could take a look at the discussion at WP:record charts talk page there has been a few developments. We're close to reaching a good conclusion and i think we've made progress in establishing the notability of wikipedia's billboard charts.Lil-unique1 (talk) 16:01, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Aaron Kelly (singer)

Hail, Crusader!

I don't know you are aware of it, but there is a discussion over an edit you made some time ago, at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums#A note for the crusaders of this WikiProject. I defended your edit, which someone reverted, and frankly I think it should be reinstated. I'm waiting to see if the other editor involved comes back to defend himself. Before you look, prepare to be offended! - but really I don't think the other editor has a leg to stand on. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 13:40, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop

Reverting it to an old table because the gradient is being discussed is ridiculous and I am telling you to stop until it is decided to be changed. You can't say consensus was not reached a week after it was put forward in the article. Stop being disruptive, and focus on the talk page for now. –Turian (talk) 02:29, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

TV infoboxes

Your edit summary makes no sense. You flooded my watchlist. If you can not explain your reasoning further than citing a page that has no specific support for your edits then i am going to restore the colour. delirious & lost ☯ ^~hugs~ 05:18, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that you have been editing a bit since i left the above message and you have declined to respond. Xeworlebi reverted some of them and when i noticed i looked here, saw no response, and reverted the rest of the ones in my watchlist. I do find it odd that all but 4 of them are articles on which i edited to, among other things, add the colour (i have edited Nip/Tuck but the colour was already there). Considering i work with (recent) short-lived / quickly-cancelled shows it is a wonder that you hit on 18 of them given their alphabetical randomness. delirious & lost ☯ ^~hugs~ 21:47, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Images on After The Anthems page

I believe all criteria have now been met for images uploaded on the After the Anthems page. I added notes to each of your notes on that article's talk page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Philj1986 (talk • contribs) 04:52, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry - I added notes to my talk page located here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Philj1986

Question

Could you tell me why 3 pages of the Emi Tawata article are removed? I though i put down the right refrences and they are important to the acticle. Megami no Hikari —Preceding undated comment added 17:00, 23 April 2010 (UTC).[reply]

I explained these redirects in the edit summary. The three songs fail WP:NSONGS, that they are not notable enough songs to have their own article and are redirected to either the corresponding album or the artist. Aspects (talk) 02:28, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well excuse me, but they're singles and although they might've not charted on the Oricon charts, the singles ARE a big part of the artist! All three of them are maxi-singles and they're listed on the official website of the artist. They're neither demos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only, and unreleased..

Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your comments, which you added in discussion at American Idol (season 9). Please note that on Wikipedia, consensus is determined by discussion, not voting, and it is the quality of arguments that counts, not the number of people supporting a position. Consider reading about the deletion policy for a brief overview for the deletion process, and how we decide what to keep and what to delete. We hope you decide to stay and contribute even more. Thank you! –Turian (talk) 23:44, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reinserting warnings on talk page not ok

You should be aware that reinserting warnings on someone's talk page after they remove them is not OK - per WP:TALKPAGE users are allowed to remove warnings and comments from their talk page. It's considered to be an acknowledgement of having read them, so they're responsible for having seen it, but you have no right to reinsert the warning after they remove it. Doing that is considered a form of harrassment.

I saw you do that on Turian's talk page - I note that he seems to just have been blocked for some stuff, but even so, your repeated reinsertion of comments was not great. Please don't do that again. Even people who are about to get blocked for something deserve being treated fairly and have protection under the harrassment policy.

Thanks. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 03:46, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While I may have used the exact same wording, I was warning Turian about two different sets of 3rr violations on American Idol (season 9), one on the 15th and one on the 26th. I now see I should have used different warning, but it was a combination of me thinking it was a good message and knowing that Turian would delete them quickly from his talk page. It was not harassment, it was warning him of a new violation and then informing him of the discussion so he could partake in it. As for his last edit summary, [1], he has never asked me to not use his talk page until this edit, but I will abide by his wishes. Aspects (talk) 04:14, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edits by 92.27.134.133 on American Idol alumni album sales

This user had recently made several edits citing a Billboard article. The problem I have with this is that the article does not list individual numbers for alumni with more than one album and there is some rather unreliable rounding for alumni who have sales that exceed one million units. I believe that because of this, only Jennifer Hudson and Kris Allen's (There is mention of his debut selling 296,000) numbers should be updated accordingly. Here is the link: http://www.billboard.com/features/top-24-american-idols-of-all-time-1004088662.story#/features/top-24-american-idols-of-all-time-1004088662.story Do you agree? 68.149.239.203 (talk) 23:26, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I liked how it was before, and I can see edit wars starting by changing some of the number to add up to the new total, but I find it hard to say that Billboard is not a reliable source, even if they are not telling us how they got the numbers. A discussion should be brought up on the article talk page and probably messages sent out to the regular contributors and the Idol wikiproject or even a Request for Comment to get some more input. Aspects (talk) 23:41, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for forgetting about this. Who else could be considered a regular contributor to the article? After looking at the revision history statistics, I don't notice any other regular contributor besides yourself. Should the Idol wikiproject be notified since the article doesn't (at least not right now) fall under it? I will request comments if this isn't resolved.68.149.239.203 (talk) 01:17, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Categorization

Mostly me I have mostly taken it upon myself to take categories that have up to 6,000 articles and diffuse them myself. The scheme is in part based on Category:Albums by year, Category:Video albums by year, and Category:EPs by year as well as pre-existing artist categories such as Category:AC/DC live albums. It's more or less an extension of that. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 14:20, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reverts

How did I make three reverts? I wish to warn you because you are close to violating 3RR. –Turian (talk) 19:15, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Turian

Hello Aspects, I would like to know why Turian has been blocked. Will this block me permanent or is this just a temporary suspension? Turian, while being a tad of the aggressive side, is one of the best editors on the season 9 Idol page. He has made some useful contributions and has been involved, like myself, in some crucial projects culminating in a more aesthetically pleasing article e.g. the new elimination table. Assuming that you have blocked him due to block threats made earlier in the week, all I have to say is how bloody dare you! Please end his suspension or rehabilitate his account. Qdiazissipom (talk) 16:42, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to do a little research before you accuse someone of doing something. I am not an admin, so I have no power to block anyone. I did not give him a block threat, I gave him a warning that he had made three reverts in a 24-hour period and if he made another one in that period, he could be blocked for breaking the WP:3RR rule. According to Turian's user page and talk page, the editor decided to retire from editing Wikipedia. Aspects (talk) 17:13, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article move

Regarding your move of Up to the Mountain (MLK Song) to Up to the Mountain with the summary "No need for this level of disambiguation", please note that the "(MLK Song)" portion isn't a Wikipedia disambiguation phrase, it's part of the song's title. Thus, it's a no different case than (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction or I Want You (She's So Heavy) or Ain't No Woman (Like the One I've Got) or I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch) or Shake Me, Wake Me (When It's Over) or many other song articles where part of the title is in parentheses. It just happens to look like a disambiguation phrase ... I've moved it back. Wasted Time R (talk) 10:49, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FMTTM

I just wanted to point out that while I agree with your revert of Fly Me To The Moon, as that is its actual title, it is referred to with the parenthetical (In Other Words) in a few places (for example, the Utada Hikaru release, as listed on the singles Wait & See: Risk and Beautiful World/Kiss & Cry, but strangely enough not Remix: Fly Me To The Moon).
