February 2010

Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to C-ute. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains under way. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you. --DAJF (talk) 06:00, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

License tagging for File:AKB48 RIVER Regular Edition (KIZM-43) cover.jpg

Speedy deletion declined: Yamada ryosuke

Hello Moscowconnection. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Yamada ryosuke, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Is a plausible, useful redirect or is not a redirect at all. Thank you. Courcelles 02:57, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi! The redirect clearly resulted from a typo or misnomer as R3 states. The page Ryosuke Yamada was created with that name and then moved to where it is now, see the very second edit. But surely, it's a typo but not an implausible one. :D Probably, I misinterpreted the criteria. Moscowconnection (talk) 03:30, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Naming for AKB48 team

Hi Moscowconnection, I am writing to you about the changes to the name "Team Kenkyūsei" that you have made. I believe that it should still retain the name as they are officially known to most people. In fact, pages like Everyday, Kachūsha ans Koko ni Ita Koto use this term. I hink you should just revert it back. Thanks!--Lionratz (talk) 13:51, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

• Thank you! I wasn't the one who did it! See User_talk:Shippai#AKB48's Trainee Team's name. This is my version. Moscowconnection (talk) 14:09, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
• Thank you for you help, actually! And please tell what you've just told me here: User_talk:Shippai#AKB48's Trainee Team's name. :))) Moscowconnection (talk) 14:09, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
• And it was when I wrote to Shippai about me adding the Japanese name anyway, I clicked "Save page" and received your message! He didn't appear to have watched the video in question before. Moscowconnection (talk) 14:30, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
• Correct it as you think is right. I would also add the Japanese names on top of each section: "Chiimu Ee", "Chiimu Bii", "Chiimu Kee", "Chiimu Foo". :) Moscowconnection (talk) 14:37, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
• The name "Team Kenkyūsei" is there now. Moscowconnection (talk) 06:17, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
• Hi Moscowconnection, thanks for the reply! I believe these names "Chiimu Ee", "Chiimu Bii", "Chiimu Kee", "Chiimu Foo" are not well know and are actually romanization of alphabets into Japanese. Therefore, they should not be used as per guidelines. Also, about the sources, Tokyograph is not considered a reliable source, sadly. It can only be used when the original article is deleted. And about the Japanese part, Wikipedia allows foreign language sources. Therefore, even if most people cannot read, we still have to put in the most reliable source. Then we can up the grade of this article. Thanks!!--Lionratz (talk) 06:43, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Vladimir Vinkler

Hi, I've restored the article so you can add references, etc. if you want. Cheers, BigDom 22:13, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks you!

Thanks for your constructive contribution for Maidashi ryokuchi.--Hot cake syrup (talk) 08:53, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

• You are welcome. I only corrected one link. ^^ Moscowconnection (talk) 10:08, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

How to read Oricon pages?

Hi - I was hoping you might be able to shed some light on how to read Oricon web pages (URLs or the actual text of the page) to be able to find charts that would help show how someone meets WP:MUSICBIO # 2 or 3. Thanks for any help! --Malkinann (talk) 04:45, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

• Search here, in the top left search box ("Search for: Artist Name" (アーティスト名が)).

  Example:

  If you search for the name Momoko Tsugunaga (嗣永桃子, with or without a space), you'll find this profile. The top 3 figures are the top ranks of her singles, albums and DVDs. She doesn't have neither solo singles nor solo albums that ranked, but she had a DVD at number 9. The 2 figures below are "TV appearances: 60" and "Commercials: --". Btw, the latter doesn't seem right cause her Japanese Wikipedia page lists a commercial for Pizza-La.

  How to find the DVD and many articles mentioning her:

  The folders below are:

  1. Digest (ダイジェスト)
  2. Profile (プロフィール)
     1. Profile (プロフィール)
     2. History (ヒストリー): TV appearances, releases featuring her, etc.
  3. News and Specials (ニュース一・特集): Articles on the Oricon website mentioning her
     1. News (ニュース一)
     2. Specials and Interviews (特集＆インタビュー)]
     3. Rankings News (ランキングトピックス一)
  4. Works (作品)
  5. Rankings (ランキング)
     1. Singles (シングル)
     2. Albums (アルバム)
     3. DVDs

        What's interesting is that the DVD which reached number 9 was a 2010 concert by Berryz Kobo, the band she's in. Momoko also has solo DVDs. They are in the list. There are 3 solo DVDs that ranked 20, 32, and 58.

  6. Schedule (スケジュール): Schedule of her appearances

--Moscowconnection (talk) 19:11, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

• I also search the net for news adding the parameters "site:oricon.co.jp", "site:natalie.mu", "site:excite.co.jp". And I like Yahoo Japan News Search. For example, the Yahoo Japan News Search for mentions of Momoko Tsugunaga results in a long list, which also includes reprints of the latest Oricon and Natalie articles.--Moscowconnection (talk) 23:29, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you so much for going to the effort! :D Would you mind if I reposted this at WT:ANIME, so that others know as well? --Malkinann (talk) 23:38, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Okay! Do it! Moscowconnection (talk) 00:10, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Actually, if there's a place for a more detailed guide than Wikipedia:ANIME#Online_tools_and_resources somewhere (like, on a project subpage), I can make some sort of guide there. It would help in saving articles from deletion. Moscowconnection (talk) 00:10, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

If you repost this, then repost my proposal too. :D Moscowconnection (talk) 00:10, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

I know of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Anime_and_manga/Online_reliable_sources - I imagine a subpage could be made there much like the "Details" subpages on Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Reference Library. --Malkinann (talk) 00:33, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! I haven't seen the page. I'll do it then. In the upcoming days. ^^; --Moscowconnection (talk) 02:39, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Genghis Berryz etc.

Hello, I saw your message at my talk, please understand that I was editing unrelated articles and came across this by chance. As it was not very clear I tried to make it more readable, I will address the issues that you have raised, only one thing all-girl *IS* necessary because outside of Japan we don't know that Japanese idol groups are same sex. CaptainScreebo ^Parley! 18:40, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

• Great. Thank you! After you rephrase it, it will surely be better than my version from yesterday. Moscowconnection (talk) 19:03, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

DOY Pages

Just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for trimming some of the births you put into the Days of the year pages yesterday. I or someone else would have eventually trimmed them to fit the page format. Just to let you know while I'm here, I undid 3 of your edits yesterday, 1 for being in the wrong date page (I only remember it was placed in August instead of April, date number was correct though, possibly 16), and 2 for having conflicting birth dates within the articles with no citations. I did trim 1 or 2 as I was flying to keep up with you :) Ken Tholke (talk) 13:25, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Again, thank you and good job!

• I went through my yesterday's edits to the articles on the days of the year, and I think the entries fit the format now. And thank you for mentioning the edits you undid, I've found them all now, and all 3 dates were wrong. :) Moscowconnection (talk) 15:01, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

AKB48 related edits

Hi Moscowconnection, thanks for helping to improve Japan-related culture. You are right to say that I am not really a big fan of AKB48, since I haven't even attended one of their regular concerts in my country. Furthermore, I am a newbie to this group, so I have made many errors in my edits regarding them. On that note, thanks for pointing out these mistakes.

However, I would like to point out that articles have been ruined because fans of that particular topic spammed the article with too much fan-related information. I want to keep AKB48 articles free of this type of occurrence.

Lastly, I need some help to find more references. As you might have noticed, I have been adding {{citation needed}} tags to sections that lacks them. I am trying my best to avoid these tags, but I really do not know where to find more references. Can you help in this task? In addition, please try your best to include references for any new information that you may add. Cheers!--Lionratz (talk) 08:59, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

• Let's move to the Talk page.--Moscowconnection (talk) 15:59, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing up AKB48 and the official youtube channel. I also reworded that top 5 sentence, hopefully that communicates what the writer originally intended. If not, feel free to tweak it. AngusWOOF (talk) 23:59, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for rewording. It does communicate what the writer originally intended. That's exactly what I meant when I wrote it. :) --Moscow Connection (talk) 00:37, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

C-ute

There are too many sentences explaining how the hell the name is supposed to be written or read. There is nothing inherently wrong about the way I included the katakana because I have not done so in a way that is implying that it is written in Japanese by the katakana. I ahve included it as part of the pronunciation. Do we really need two sentences explaining "C-ute" is pronounced as the English word "Cute"? And why should Japanese text be omitted when you already have the Hepburn romanization on the page. This is getting out of "I disagree with the current formatting" and more "Stay away from my pages" with your reverts. This is particularly telling because you're the one who made that excessive exposition in the first place.—Ryulong (竜龙) 23:20, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

If you hadn't removed the information months ago I wouldn't have had to put it back in.—Ryulong (竜龙) 00:15, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes, but I removed it before the discussion at WT:JAPAN started. It was just one small improvement (from my point of view), I have been rewriting the article since last spring. I do think the info is useful, but not in the first sentence. I want the article to be read, so I think from the point of view of an English speaker who hears about °C-ute and comes to Wikipedia to learn about the group.

Speedy deletion nomination of Cute (band)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Cute (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages, and is also a duplication of Cute (disambiguation). Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines on consensus building, before creating duplicate disambiguation pages.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Wesley☀Mouse 15:17, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

• I don't see it as either G6 1 or 2. Probably, you misterpreted the rules. Moscowconnection (talk) 15:33, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

I haven't misinterpreted the rules for CSD. I read all the criteria at CSD, and use twinkle to select the correct G6 submission. This is because its an unnecessary and orphaned disambiguation page; when Cute (disambiguation) page already exists covering the same disambiguation rules. I encourage your enthusiasm in becoming a good editor and creating as many new articles as possible. But sometimes it is always best to check with WP:NEW or research if a new article is needed, or if another one covering your proposals is in existence. Wesley☀Mouse 15:49, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Maybe you would like to take some time to familiarise yourself with the guidelines at disambiguation and also the dos and don'ts. Wesley☀Mouse 15:52, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

May 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Cute (band), a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion and appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Wesley☀Mouse 16:29, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

I see no buttons. The notice says "If this article does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, please remove this notice." Moscowconnection (talk) 16:38, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

The article talk page is where any discussions would take place, similar to the way a discussion took place at Talk:Cute (Japanese band) when the request to move the article was submitted. Deleting admins will carefully check to see if the correct criteria has been dertmined, and will also check to see if another disambiguation page exists. As we have already established the latter then it would be likely to get deleted, but we will have to see what the admins decide. Wesley☀Mouse 16:43, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Cute (band). If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. Wesley☀Mouse 16:49, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

I previously informed you to engage in the discussion at Talk:Cute (band) before removing maintenance tags, please participate in the discussion as advised. In doing so, you are avoiding being blocked for violation of the 3 revert rules. Wesley☀Mouse 16:56, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

I know about 3RR. I hadn't read what you wrote about the talk page when I reverted, sorry. Moscowconnection (talk) 17:00, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

These notice and the one on the article do not match one another. There are no buttons and it says to remove. The notice says "If this article does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, please remove this notice." What should I do? It's funny, actually. I will post on the talk page. Moscowconnection (talk) 17:00, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Could you give me the link to where the button, that you obviously can see, points? :) Moscowconnection (talk) 17:01, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

The notice "If this article does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, please remove this notice." is for admins. It is basically informing the administrator to remove the tag if they feel the article doesn't meet the criteria it has been nominated for. Slow down in future and wait to see if editors reply back to you before rushing off and doing something, there are no deadlines on Wikipedia.. This alone proves the fact that you rushed in removing the template tag before waiting for me to reply back to you. Also at Talk:Cute (Japanese band) you asked if we need to used Cute (band) page as a disambiguation. Before waiting for me to give you a reply to your question, you went ahead anyway and created the page - whereas if you waited a little while you would have noticed there wasn't a need to make the article. Patience is a virtue, and nothing needs to be rushed. Wesley☀Mouse 17:07, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Okay. Sorry. It's funny, though. I posted on the Cute (band) talk page now. Moscowconnection (talk) 17:23, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

All the templates used are pre-worded templates, and I'm unable to re-word them without posting it first and then manually altering afterwards. I have campaigned about these a few times, informing people that a review on how they are worded needs to be carried out. But alas the requests to date have been ignored. And something which I suppose I have to grin and bear with. Looks like though that an admin has reviewed the nomination, and feels it can remain - so another issue resolved thanks to going down the appropriate channels. Happy editing. Wesley☀Mouse 17:27, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

The admin has added a new tag though, one that is requesting the page be merged to an already completed one - which I can only assume means it will get merged into Cute (disambiguation) after all. Wesley☀Mouse 17:29, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Okay. It has been redirected already. I'm not sure it is what had to be done, but I will read the disambiguation rules. And in a few days, I'll see how Wikipedia search, Google, Yahoo, etc. react. Sorry for the trouble. You should understand that I wanted Cute (Japanese band) be easy to find. Presently, it is not the case. Moscowconnection (talk) 17:46, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Have you thought about seeking advice on how to make things easier to search at the village pump or better still at the help desk? Wesley☀Mouse 17:51, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you, I didn't think about it. It would help. What I know is that when I type "Cute" in Yahoo or Google, the Japanese band doesn't come up near the top. It did, but then it stopped. And it upsets me. :) And I don't get what titles are on top of the list in Wikipedia search suggestions. I will have to ask there. I'll see what happens with the search and then I'll think how to ask it. Moscowconnection (talk) 18:09, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

And thank you for your patience. The tag persistently said to remove it, so I though it was really funny and reverted the second time. :) Moscowconnection (talk) 18:09, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

I've noticed your talk page is getting rather lengthy too. Do you know about archiving? If you click on H:ARC you'll find a step-by-step guide. Alternatively, I could install an archive set-up for you, I've helped a couple of users out with archiving in the past too, so I don't mind. Wesley☀Mouse 18:17, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you! I'll learn how archiving is done, but I don't want to archive just yet. I don't receive many comments (that is, I hadn't until yesterday), and there are many bot messages that can be removed without archiving. Moscowconnection (talk) 18:43, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Cute (Japanese band)

Hi Moscowconnection,

I've had a gander over at the article - looking impressive now. However, I thought I should point out on the infobox (right-hand side of article), where it says Website should really have the band's official website page, and not the URL of their YouTube channel. This could do with being fixed, to keep in accordance with manual of style for infobox parameters. BOT's are prone to do random checks and may end up removing that link if it doesn't recognise it as the official page.

Also, it may be worth taking a break from the article too. The page history only shows you as being the single-editor on the article,which to the community can be seen as someone taking ownership of articles; so please be cautious there; as this would be violating one of the five pillars. Wesley☀Mouse 18:51, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Moved to Talk:Cute (Japanese band)#Official website. Moscowconnection (talk) 20:10, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

• I'm removing all those videos from all those infoboxes. We are not a directory of links, and the plethora of them only serve to strengthen the idea that these pages are like fan sites. Sorry, but it's not the purpose of Wikipedia to exhaustively list, let alone link, everything. I watched one of those videos (and need to wash my eyes now) on the official cutechannel, and they start with a fifteen-second add--so they promote the band as well as the companies that advertise on the band's YouTube channel. That is simply unacceptable. BTW, one of those articles had 31 YouTube videos linked--I'm pretty sure that's a record. Drmies (talk) 15:17, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

They don't start with the ad. It's YouTube who ads the advertisements. You will have all the videos from YouTube to remove all YouTube videos soon. And you should install an ad bloscker. Moscowconnection (talk) 15:54, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

That doesn't matter. You are linking to ads. And please don't tell me what to install: I am a regular, unsophisticated PC user, like probably most Wikipedia readers. Drmies (talk) 15:57, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

It was just a recommendation. Sorry, if it sounded differently. I'm replying on the Cute talk page about the rest. I have it in my watchlist. Moscowconnection (talk) 16:09, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

No, I should apologize--I put that way too strongly. ;) Drmies (talk) 17:10, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Okay. No problem. The ads are annoying, by the way. Google always acted like they were everyone's best friend, and now they made watching YouTube impossible. I think that a war against YouTube may start eventually, but I wouldn't want it to start on Cute articles. Moscowconnection (talk) 17:53, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Apply common sense. First of all, music videos are by definition promotional. Second, not all videos on YouTube have ads. Third, 31? Drmies (talk) 16:03, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Eureka! Check out WP:YOUTUBE. Apparently there is a limitation to Youtube links, and also strict guidelines too, as there are copyright issues to be wary of also, and if my memory serves me correctly, users can be banned for repeated copyvios. Wesley☀Mouse 16:06, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Since it's an official channel for the band, I don't think there's copyright violations. Drmies (talk) 17:09, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

I moved the discusson to Talk:Cute (Japanese band)#Official website and Talk:Cute (Japanese band)#Music videos. Moscowconnection (talk) 16:47, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Importance scale at Talk:Natalie (website)

Moscowconnection,

Not sure if you know or not, but from what I gather the importance scales are suppose to be set at "low" and then it is up to the project to change them accordingly. A bot will notify the projects that this article has been added, and that they need to review the importance scale. Wesley☀Mouse 19:32, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Alternatively, you could add {{DEFAULTSORT:Natalie (website}} and a bot will work out the scales for the project. Wesley☀Mouse 19:35, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

If the importance is left unassessed, then the article will be listed as unassessed. Otherwise, no one from a project will simply come to assess it. For this particular article, it will be most probably set to Low for any non-Japanese projects, but still it doesn't seem right to decide fot them. As I understand it, at least. {{DEFAULTSORT}} is explained here: DEFAULTSORT#Default sort key. Moscowconnection (talk) 19:54, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

A list of what the importance scales mean can be found at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Release Version Criteria#WikiProject importance assessments. From what that link reads, members of a project or external interests can scale the level of importance. Based on the article being of a specialised subject, its level would be low for WP:Media and WP:Journalism - as the guidance reads LOW = subject is mainly of specialist interest. I have left a copy of this conversation on the article's talk page. Wesley☀Mouse 20:01, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Let's wait for someone from the projects to come. Moscowconnection (talk) 21:28, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk page style

What the hell is your problem? I added the outdent at Talk:Cute (Japanese band) because that is manual of style on talk pages. The way you worded your edit summary was uncalled for, and I find it very distressing to be honest with you. Chill out man, and think. Wesley☀Mouse 20:18, 20 May 2012 (UTC) Sorry, just realised I placed the outdent on the wrong line - it was suppose to be inbetween your last comment and my latest. Wesley☀Mouse 20:23, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

You moved my comment. I don't think it's polite to touch other people's comments. I replied to one particular message of yours. Moscowconnection (talk) 20:31, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

There is a particular manual of style also used on article talk pages. A user can restyle the comments to put things into an easy-readable flow; as long as they don't alter the wording. You're making it sound like I altered everything you written when I hadn't. And I have apologised above explaining the outdent was placed on the wrong line. Why are you being so harsh with me Moscow? I really don't understand the behaviour lately. Remember just how delicate I am at the moment, and such wordings are likely to spark me off, which is something I don't need right now - geeze its the funeral tomorrow, so it is very easy for me to do typo errors. We all make mistakes, nobody is perfect, so go easy with me OK! Wesley☀Mouse 20:37, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

OK. Sorry. Moscowconnection (talk) 21:01, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Nah I'm sorry Moscowconnection. I now can see why a lot of the experienced editors kept telling me to take time off from editing. My stubbornness got the better of me, and all I've done is just snap people's heads off. The hardest thing will be this coming week, when the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 is on TV. Every year my mother and I would sit and watch that, while eating popcorn, and giving our own scores - this year will be strange now as I'll be all alone. Wesley☀Mouse 21:05, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

My condolences, Wesley. Sorry. Moscowconnection (talk) 21:11, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

AKB48

Thanks for your clarification! Oh, how else do you think we should improve the article from here on? I know that a lot of content is missing, but exactly what to include is still undefined. It really does not help that no other Japanese idol groups have articles that are ranked GA or above. Do you that that we should refer to K-pop groups that have released singles in Japan, just to use them as models, of course. And I am really sorry if I have added untrue or inaccurate information to the article. Happy editing.--Lionratz (talk) 12:47, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes, there are some good K-pop articles. I did look at them for ideas. I think we should completely rewrite the History section. And create more thematic sections to give people something interesting to read. Moscowconnection (talk) 03:09, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Oops, sorry for not responding. I thought you would leave reply on my talk page. Anyways, I have been researching. I till cannot find much (not to mention reliable sources) regarding AKB48 before 2008 or 2007. Can you point me in the right direction. Oh, as for the Korean groups, I have narrowed down to Girls' Generation and TVXQ. I choose the former because it is currently nominated for GA and has undergo massive restructuring, while TVXQ has a strong Japanese connection. I think we should adapt some of their style and structure in AKB48. What do you think?--Lionratz (talk) 07:56, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, it's me who hadn't been here for a few days. You replied immediately. It's summer where I live, so I may disappear at any time. If not for the latest developments at the Cute article, I wouldn't be here since a few weeks back. Moscowconnection (talk) 17:20, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Let's discuss everything on the AKB48 talk page. To start with, I'm not sure whether the parts about overseas appearances that I copied into a new section should be removed from the history section. What do you think? Moscowconnection (talk) 17:20, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Nogizaka46 controversy included in AKB48 article

Hi, I mentioned this on the AKB48 article's talk page the other day, but I thought I'd ask again here. What reason is there to include the information about Nogizaka46's choreography controversy on the article for AKB48? As far as I can see, it has no place there. It should be included on Nogizaka46's article, and possibly even Akimoto Yasushi's article, but it has no connection to AKB48. The controversy did not include the AKB48 group in any way, or include any AKB48 members. Could you clarify why you wish to include this information? Kaixa913 (talk) 07:35, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

I wanted to leave the part because it makes the article better. It's recent, interesting, entertaining. We need to give people something to read, something to return to Wikipedia for. Also, it ends the otherwise dull "Controversies" section on a happier note. I know we will have to remove the info sooner or later. But hopefully I will expand and rewrite the section by then. If you think it's simply unacceptable having the info there, remove it from the article yourself. Moscowconnection (talk) 17:20, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

File:Reichstag flag original.jpg

Sorry I didn't think to get back to you. Just to let you know, I have basically no connection to that image, and no opinion on the issue which you have brought to my attention; you're welcome to do whatever you need to, in my eyes. Thanks! J Milburn (talk) 19:34, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. I will have to discuss the matter with the Raising a flag over the Reichstag article's author then, since no one else seems to be against changing the image. Moscowconnection (talk) 04:30, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Nomination of Cute timeline for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Cute timeline is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cute timeline until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Hahc21 ^{[TALK][CONTRIBS]} 16:07, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Quotes on non-English references

Concerning your AWB bug report I would like to say that per MOS:QUOTE styling of apostrophes and quotation marks should be adapted to English Wikipedia's conventions without comment. MOS:QUOTE reads "This practice of conforming typographical styling to a publication's own "house style" is universal". -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:01, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

• OK. I see that AWB only makes pages conform to Wikipedia style guidelines. (The quotation marks in question aren't a "publication own house style", though, cause the titles aren't in English.) --Moscowconnection (talk) 05:37, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Can you please ask in the manual of style talk page for clarification? Because it reads "Allowable typographical alterations include these: Styling of apostrophes and quotation marks". -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:27, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

I can't do it now cause I'm not on regularly and I won't be able to engage in long discussions. I'll ask there later. --Moscowconnection (talk) 04:09, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Redirects

Please read WP:REDIRECT#NOTBROKEN.

I notice that the majority of your recent contributions you explain solely as "Avoiding redirect". Please be aware that doing so is not only unnecessary, but undesirable and detrimental, for reasons as explained in the relevant guideline. I appreciate your general enthusiasm but I for one would rather you didn't continue putting it into that particular "fix". If you still feel that avoiding redirects is a desirable thing, how about you say why here and we can discuss whether one of us may have failed to consider something? Cesiumfrog (talk) 01:30, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

• Okay. I will read WP:REDIRECT#NOTBROKEN thoroughly now. I'm not enthusiastic about redirects and I was not going to fix the whole Wikipedia. I've already finished with links to Cute. What I did is very convenient for me. The problem is that in the past I've added links to Cute instead of Cute (Japanese band). Since Cute redirects to Cuteness instead of a disambiguation page, no bot notified me about it. I have to look through the list of articles that link to Cute periodically. So, I thought that if I make the list smaller, it will be easier next time. It kind of worked cause today I fixed a link to Cute (Japanese band) that I never noticed before. Now the list is short and I will be able to detect wrong links easily. Also, a few months ago I changed all links to the group to point to Cute (Japanese band) directly. Again, it's very convenient for me, cause its name can be written in many different ways and having no articles pointing to redirects allows me to easily find it written as "C-ute" or "℃-ute". --Moscowconnection (talk) 02:47, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Yes I can

Hi MC. Regarding your edit summary: You can't remove everything like this. It doesn't look like you researched the subject., please see WP:BURDEN and WP:BLP, WP:RS and WP:V. In short, the burden is on the editor who adds the info to source it carefully, not on me. I hope this helps. Anyway, good work on adding more references to the article. Keep it up! Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 22:48, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

• Okay, your links are convincing. You could remove it. :-) But still, WP:BURDEN says that it's "good practice to try to find and cite supporting sources yourself" before removing material. Also, WP:BURDEN recommends "adding a citation needed tag as an interim step", otherwise "editors might object". So I objected. --Moscowconnection (talk) 23:42, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
  • I think you are learning fast, with all these links you threw back at me! But still don't forget with WP:BLP any poorly sourced material must be removed. Also this is happening to many other K-pop articles with sockpuppets and IPs constantly edit-warring for years, trying to add exactly this type of unreferenced positions and birthdays. Just look at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ryanjay1996 and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Trikjg. Also Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Trikjg and Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Ryanjay1996 etc. This is quite a battle going on, on a massive scale, and it is nice to see editors like you who at least respect the policies of Wikipedia and try to upkeep them. It was nice meeting you. Best regards. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 00:19, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
    • Now I understand you're fighting on many fronts, that's why you don't have time to search for sources yourself. Good luck in fighting K-pop fans. To fight better, you will have to learn the members, their ages and positions. :-) 2NE1 members' ages are commonly known (and Daum was a very reliable source, it's a giant Korean portal), but they are not on the official site. --Moscowconnection (talk) 00:44, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

About edit summaries

I just saw this. Please avoid edit summaries like: It's sourced. (You've just added an official source yourself, the birth days and months are there. How can you add a source without looking at it?, because it is a way to attack the other editor without giving them the chance to defend themselves. How can I reply to this accusation? By another lengthy edit summary? That is simply not sustainable. So please stop this practice. If you have any questions, the proper thing to do is open a discussion at the talkpage of the article concerned where I can have the chance to properly address your accusations. Thank you. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 00:29, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

• I'm very sorry. You are 100% right. I was simply shocked that you removed everything again. I'm sure many people would think you were vandalizing. Daum is a reliable source, their birth days and months are on the official site, and you removed them. When I saw your new edits, I even thought for a moment that from the very start your aim was simply to delete their ages, since their agency and probably some fans don't want them to be known. I apologize again. Should the edit sumary be deleted somehow? --Moscowconnection (talk) 01:21, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

• • I was simply undoing your edit: Adding back the birth years, sourced from a giant Korean entertainment site. (Wherever they got them from, they published them where you replaced the existing citation: <ref name="2ne1jpprofile" /> with http://kids.daum.net/kids/do/fun/theme/themeView?id=381. So I thought that for you to say: Adding back the birth years... the old citation i.e. "<ref name="2ne1jpprofile" />" was not working, otherwise why bother adding another, unofficial, citation to replace the official one? Do you see my point? I also saw that your new citation had the words "kids" and "fun" in its url. This did not sound to me like a very reliable source. It actually sounded like kids' stuff, i.e. something completely unreliable. So I undid your edit and I put back the old reference, which was more reliable as it was from the official website of the group. Replacing a link about kids stuff with the older, more reliable link, is good practice, not vandalism. As far as erasing your edit summary, it can be done, but it is not that insulting, so I will not press the point further and I accept your explanation/apology. There is no problem. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 01:49, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
    • I understand now, your edit summary didn't say that you were undoing my edit. I replaced the citation because the official site had their birth days and months only. So, when I found the profile on Daum Kids, I didn't want to give the false impression that the info is on their official site. Sorry. --Moscowconnection (talk) 02:13, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
      • Now I understand why you replaced the reference from the official site. No need to apologise; it was a bona-fide mixup. Anyway, in the very first one of my edits, I actually undid your edit when you replaced the official reference: Undid revision 515257797 by Moscowconnection It doesn't work that way. Not a reliable source. Please review WP:RS, WP:V, WP:BLP. But I guess you were looking at the subsequent ones, where I tried to clean up some unreferenced entries, after I undid your edit. It was a veritable mixup. Thankfully all is explained now. Regardless, thank you for being so civil and understanding. Take care. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 02:26, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
        • Yes, I mixed up everyhting. Cheers. :-) --Moscowconnection (talk) 02:53, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
          • Don't blame yourself. It was a tangled mess of edits. Things happen. Cheers. :) Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 03:06, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

I left the same message at Drmies's talkpage

Hi MC. I saw your discussion with Drmies and left a comment there. I repeat it here for convenience:

• I have created a new section at Wikiproject Korea: K-pop articles coordination. It could serve as an initial coordination place for K-pop articles and as a central reference point where the problems they face as a group of articles could be centrally addressed. It could also be expanded into a different subpage, something like a K-pop working group. You are, of course, welcome to create any such new subpage if you think it is necessary. This subsection is just a proposed starting place. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 17:52, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Cuteness

Hey, M. About the pictures at Cuteness, from where I stand the discussion is pretty much concluded. Nevertheless, to avoid the appearance of rushing things along, I'd wait a couple more days (or make that a full week) before instating an edit request, unless you or someone else beats me to it.

Maybe you saw my last comment there. Imho, the Knut image doesn't add anything of true value to the article either, regardless of its acceptable sourcing. So, although the primary issue was the OR of the other images, maybe the best threshold would be to just not use any "pics of cute things"? Not hellbent either way, so I'd like to hear your take. --87.79.132.152 (talk) 21:14, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Gangnam Style

I just want to begin by saying that I could've been more specific with my edit on the "Gangnam Style" page. But I don't get why a bunch of users think that I'm trying to start conflicts. I have ADHD (and possibly a little OCD) which may be why I like things done a certain way. It just seems weird to me putting a Latin Songs chart on a Korean song. Anyway, I'm sorry about my edit.

AKB48 and apparent ownership

It seems you have a hard time accepting anyone else edits on anything that has to do with AKB48. While I tried to assume good faith you are really making it hard seeing how every time I or some else edits the articles you revert them. You are showing ownership over the articles and it is not really helping the article(s) improve nor is it inviting other to feel welcomed to edit those articles. I hope we get along and try to improve the project rather than disagree over every single edit. しれない Shirenai♥talk 21:47, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

It's not true. I don't own the article and I actually think it's really bad and there's nothing much to defend. I reverted one edit of yours, then I added what I think was an improvement, and then you reverted my addition and I didn't object. I'm sorry if you don't feel welcomed. Maybe I should have just let your edit stay because the matter wasn't important. AKB48-related articles need more editors. Surely, you are free to improve them. --Moscow Connection (talk) 09:34, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

I removed your response from my page because I would like to keep the conversation in one place. In responding to you I want to point out you reverted all the edits I made 1 and 2, not just the one. So, of course I would feel as if you believe you own the articles and would feel unwelcome. しれない Shirenai♥talk 16:30, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

1. That's okay, I understand. But I commented on your page, and the comment should stay there. 2. Now I see that we've met on another page before. I think you should not have insisted on your corrections. After all, the pages existed in some state before you came, and it was up to you to prove that your edits were improvements. 3. I can see that you added valuable information to Wikipedia, you are welcomed. AKB48 needs more editors. --Moscow Connection (talk) 17:08, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Explain to me how they weren't an improvement? I reduced the number of red links, removed the linking of the same artist and article twice -which in a short article such as 1830m makes it looks cleaner-, I abbreviated the artists already listed because it seems to be practiced used by the project as a whole when it comes to other music articles and lastly I removed the repetitive nihongo tags per MOS:JAPAN. The article looked a little less cluttered that way but you didn't see that only reverted. Also in response to this edit according the MOS for Japan it was correct to switch it to Atsuko Maeda. しれない Shirenai♥talk 18:59, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

I removed the red links afterwards. Your abbreviations didn't look good to me. "Ma.", "Mi.", etc. I think the nihongo templates are useful. (By the way, could you point me to where the rules say to remove them. Cause I heard about it but didn't see it myself.) "Atsuko Maeda Solo Ver." seems to be a part of the title. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:20, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

It says it in the first paragraph of that link (Generally, Japanese script for a word can be added to the text the first time it is introduced, provided that the word is not linked to another article on the English Wikipedia.) While it is apart of the title it is the order of the name is what I'm referring to. According to MOS:JAPAN the title should be "Sakura no Hanabira (Atsuko Maeda Solo Ver.)" and not "Sakura no Hanabira (Maeda Atsuko Solo Ver.)". しれない Shirenai♥talk 21:42, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I see. Please don't insist. Cause it makes the article better. And they are not in the article text even. I understand that you are talking about the order of the name, but I'm saying that I consider it part of the song's title. (Now I'm not sure, though.) Like, if there were an English-language song titled "Maeda Atsuko", it wouldn't be right to say that its title was "Atsuko Maeda". Anyway, let's not argue. You can rename it to "Atsuko Maeda Solo Ver.", but it doesn't seem right to me. But please delete Sakiko Matsui from the list of soloists, she really looks out of place there. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:14, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Done. しれない Shirenai♥talk 23:32, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

I wil try ("try" haha~) to let you do whatever you want. Just edit. Don't think about me hating your edits or whatever. The article 1830m is practically a stub, I created it in 5 minutes (more like an hour plus) and left. Whatever you do will be better than its current state. I actually even have to thank you that you care about it. AKB48 articles do get some considerable amount of views, but no one cares to expand them. As you probably noticed, I'm a bit off AKB48 articles, I'm concentrating on other groups at the moment. I do want to come back, but I can't do everything at once. (I hope you have the talk page in your watchlist.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 17:41, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi there! I left a comment at your DYK nomination. Let me know if you have any questions. Take care, Moswento ^talky 10:11, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

A brownie for you!

Thank you for your recent contributions! I hope you like using DYK; it can be a hassle sometimes, but it's worth having a few eyes on your work every once in a while. Happy editing! ComputerJA (talk) 07:56, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello again. Do you have any sources for the Tracking list and Chart performances on Ikuze! Kaitō Shōjo? I worried that other DYK reviewers might be picky on that if they see it is not sourced. Cheers. ComputerJA (talk) 10:24, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

• How do I source the tracking list? You can see the list of tracks if you follow the external link. If you mean the 2012 re-release, it is said in prose in the release section that the track list is the same + a DVD. In the Chart performance section, I can add sources for everything except the Oricon monthly chart. (It is deleted from the Oricon website after a while.) I will do it now and then reply again. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:24, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

The lead image of Momoclo article

Hello, Why did you think current Momoclo image is better than this one? I think current image is too blurred, outdated, and lower resolution than My choice. and we need to consider other editors' opinion. Puramyun31 (talk) 08:01, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

I do think the image I chose is better quality and, most importantly, it shows what the group is like. Another editor has already expressed his opinion: [1], [2]. Should we ask him to come up here? But actually, in his edit summary in the Japanese Wikipedia Anosola invited you to join the discussion on the Momoiro Clover Z talk page. The main question is that there are really bad photos and whether we should use them just for the sake of having a photo in each article. --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:47, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry to keep finding issues, but the concept of a transformation belt is unfamiliar to me, and I'm sure that lots of readers will be confused by it.

Morning Musume

I noticed you replaced the word "in 2012" to the word "current" for the member list. [3] You attention is invited to WP:REALTIME. , wikipedia's policy on words that should be avoided, including "currently", "today", "now". Da Vynci (talk) 06:58, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

I changed it because "2012" was incorrect. Risa Niigaki left the group on May 18, 2012, and she is not in the list. By the way, Template:Infobox musical artist has a parameter named "current members", it's just that it shows up simply as "Members". If you don't like the word "current", you can delete it and leave the section name as "Members". But I think "Current members" is more clear and comprehensible. --Moscow Connection (talk) 01:48, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Most recent edits

Thanks for the note; it didn't seem to me that some of the latest edits conformed to the sources, so I thought it better to reword it myself than to force you to make changes. The nomination has now been approved, so it will be going to DYK before long. Nyttend (talk) 13:51, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

• Your edits were fine. Better than what I wrote. Certainly a big step towards the right direction. It was my subsequent edits that I was not sure of. I changed the whole section one minute after you approved the nomination, so I thought you should look at the article again. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:50, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

What I meant by "approved" is that someone else has approved it, i.e. it's closed and won't be modified again. The next step is placement in a DYK prep area. Nyttend (talk) 15:15, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Now I understand. I didn't know someone else checked it afterwards. I thought moving a nomination to the preparation area was just a mechanical step. --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:25, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

RE: SPS

I see that you've reverted my edit at Harlem Shake (meme). If you want to litter the article you're a major contributor to with self-published sources, be my guest. I'm not contributing to that article if constructive changes arent welcome. But please refrain from inappropriately tagging properly sourced material as you did here. The failed verification tag is not to be used to tag information you dont agree with, but for information that meets this criteria. Do not revert the primary contributor of the article. Read the source cited ([4], second paragraph) and respect my contributions. If you still feel the source cited doesnt mesh with you, discuss it at the article's talk page. Do not get into a silly revert war over a small background detail to a song article. Thank you. Dan56 (talk) 02:28, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm citing Template:Failed verification:

Use this tag only if:

1. an inline citation to a source is given,
2. you have checked the source,
3. the source does not support what is contained in the article, and
4. despite the source not supporting the article, the source still contains useful information on the topic.

This is exactly what happened, exactly. I read the source and saw that the sentence you wrote completely misinterpreted what Billboard wrote. Therefore I added a template. (I now see that you were the one who wrote it or, rather, completely changed in this edit: [5]. I didn't know it.) There are 2 issues with the sentence: misinterpretation and being in contradiction to other sources. Therefore I added 2 templates, 2 separate templates. You may not agree with the {{better source}} template, okay. But you shouldn't remove the {{failed verification}} template. (As for your claim that the {{better source}} template can't be placed cause other sources are "self-published", they aren't self-published. But Billboard is a good source, okay. I understand why you insist.) I didn't change the sentence myself exactly because I respect you contributions. --Moscow Connection (talk) 03:02, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

I understand that your changes were made in good faith, but restructuring an article with short-paragraph sections and single-sentence paragraphs disrupts the flow of the prose. If you have an issue with the way I structured it, please make your points at the talk page. Dan56 (talk) 00:47, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Let's discuss on the talk page. I merged the short paragraph when undoing your revert. The prose might have been "flowing", but it just didn't explain anything about the meme. It flows now too. -00:52, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Kono Chikyū no Heiwa o Honki de Negatterun Da yo! / Kare to Issho ni Omise ga Shitai!

I just removed a dozen videos and a half a dozen covers from this article--that amount of "information" for an article on a single, and not a very notable one at that, is beyond ridiculous. Please don't confuse Wikipedia with MySpace. If you wish to maintain such detailed fan articles, consider Wikia. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 01:47, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Advice

I took a few minutes to go over your spat with User:Drmies. After that, I did you a favour and removed your last 2 additions to the closed ANI report. You have been told by more than one person exactly why what you're doing is wrong on this project. Admins are required to enforce what wikipedia is for ... complaining otherwise as vociferously as you will not end well. If you truly think you wish to ignore the rules others have provided, and believe the admin has misused their admin powers, then file an WP:RFC/ADMIN. However, anywhere you go, the community will reinforce the fact that it's YOU who are breaking the rules, and will typically side with the person who is enforcing them correctly whether or not its an admin (✉→BWilkins←✎) 10:06, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

• That was not the first time Drmies did things like that. And he replies like this, for example: User talk:Drmies/Archive 44#T-ara, which doesn't look like a constructive discussion. I did not ignore the rules. There are plenty of articles with more than one cover in it. I also don't destroy articles simply to demonstrate that I can. This edit was made when the discussion was ongoing and it was not policy-based. This is what I got for trying to converse with him. --Moscow Connection (talk) 12:13, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

• And about this again: User talk:Drmies/Archive 44#T-ara. He said "worse than Pokemon". I hope he doesn't do the same to Pokemon articles. --Moscow Connection (talk) 12:20, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

I don't see anything unconstructive in the discussion: rather matter-of-fact and certainly not proof of vandalism or bad faith by them. The edit you linked to above was 100% common-sense AND policy based - I cannot fathom you cannot ascertain that. Oh, and yes, the level of bastardization of Poke-mon related articles by fans wanting to include every tiny piece of crap information is tedious(✉→BWilkins←✎) 12:34, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

I can't see what was based on any policy there. He just removed the Background section, the tracklists, the lists of members who performed the songs, and the external links to the official profiles at the record label website. It may well look like an intentional destruction of the article. Another user already asked him about that: [6], let's see what Drmies has to say. --Moscow Connection (talk) 12:51, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Compare "before" to "after". Before: a good stub, all the info in the Background section is sourced. After: something that looks like desinformation. --Moscow Connection (talk) 12:51, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

• It seems like K-pop is to the music project what Tennis is to the sports project - the particular branch where a bunch of pointless information is added to articles, and completely pointless articles are created. You can have a million reliable sources for an edit, but I suggest you read things like WP:FANCRUFT/WP:LISTCRUFT, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and WP:ISNOT to realize that the edit may still be inappropriate. The English Wiki, as has been noted by many other people, is a lot more stringent than other Wikis, and promotional fluff has no place here - and rightly so. Lukeno94 (talk) 14:19, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Tracklistings and the information about who sings what can't be promotional, it's essential information for every release. I think tracklists are even necessary per WP:Albums guidelines. Drmies has created some articles like that too, I suggest you delete the Personnel and Track listing sections from here: Uniko (album), Kronos Quartet (album), Kronos Quartet Performs Alfred Schnittke: The Complete String Quartets. There is a lot of unnecessary information. I don't need it, do you? Let's delete it. The tracklists and the lists of personnel are unsourced, too. AKB48 articles were much better. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:55, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Version 2 of that article is awesome! Compare to the simplicity of Pilot of the Airwaves - a song that's been around for decades with a significant history and multiple re-releases (✉→BWilkins←✎) 14:47, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

But the version 2 is a lie. There were several versions with different tracklists. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:55, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

So? One merely adds a sentence to state that. The order is not important, and unless there's an additional NOTABLE track, it's irrelavent - certainly not considered a "lie" by any stretch of the word (✉→BWilkins←✎) 15:34, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

I can't believe what you've just said. Do you think that every track in every tracklist in Wikipedia is notable? And why should I add a sentence if I can just make a list as on every other page about a CD single? Or maybe, track and personnel lists are not allowed exclusively in AKB48 articles? There are no rules like that. And no rules like if a list is too long, it's not allowed. There were absolutely normal lists in AKB48 articles, nothing was against the rules. --Moscow Connection (talk) 16:22, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

There is a rule: Wikipedia:NOTEVERYTHING. When track lists and members lists and external links and links to videos and alternate covers and templates take up 90% of an article, then it's too much. Common sense. There is nothing to read in such an article. Drmies (talk) 20:25, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

You all must understand that most articles about J-pop and K-pop that are being created in the English Wikipedia are about the top acts in their countries. You can't compare them with a person who ranked in the United States at the bottom of Billboard Hot 100. Look at this deletion discussion, for example. Drmies proposed the article for deletion, and suddenly the single happened to be the 13th best-selling single in Japan in 2012. "Manatsu no Sounds Good!" is simply the best selling single of 2012. There are so many barely notable songs on Wikipedia, but surely, you all had to pick on this one. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:50, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• Stop ignoring what people say. No one is questioning the notability of all of these artists, songs etc, but people are rightly pointing out that there is an absolutely absurd amount of information being added into K-pop and J-pop articles, or that they're just complete messes, when the right place is in between. Take Loud (Rihanna album) for example. It's a good article, and it has a sentence or two on each song, a little more for the more notable songs. Everything is well formatted, and well layed out. Now let's go to, say, Koko ni Ita Koto. The track listing is an utter mess, information is missing left, right, and centre. Let's look at the Virginity song. Drmies was absolutely correct to propose it for deletion: yes, it charted, and yes, it charted highly. But the version he proposed for deletion failed WP:NSONG as it contained NOTHING about the song whatsoever, in terms of information. Even now, as it stands, it STILL violates WP:NSONG, as there's basically nothing other than lists in the article, although the AfD has probably shown that it can be made to pass that guideline. Track lists are necessary; however, anything that is not in the main release should be collapsed, and they should have some vague efforts at formatting them. Drmies' edit to Manatsu no Sounds Good! was not perfect, I do think he cut a bit too much, but some of the sections, such as the background section, were clearly written with promotional fluff, and some were just total messes, like the Members section. Lukeno94 (talk) 17:38, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for actually making my point for me: the song itself is notable, the half-dozen separate releases of it with different tracklists, etc is not notable. Thanks for setting us all straight, now please continue with editing properly (✉→BWilkins←✎) 17:40, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

The song was released like it was released, all the releases were simultaneous and all the releases are notable. Sorry, it looks like someone does not understand anything about the Japanese music industry, the industry that was No. 2 in the world the last time I checked, and doesn't want to understand. They sell so well exactly because their marketing tactics is very advanced, you haven't heard about it in your countries. Again, it is not only a song, it is a single, a physical CD single, a physical product. The article about the single has to have a track list and a personnel list. The single became the best-selling single of the year in Japan. This happened because there were many versions, because many girls participated, and because there were voting tickets included. And please, it you are going to make the same comments all over again, can we just stop? The discussion is not going anywhere. I will better explain it do Drmies when I am in the mood, I think his comments are much more constructive. --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:20, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

I've given the releases appropriate weight on the article with a prose paragraph. The tracklists are highlighting just the differences. Notes can be added regarding their promotional tactics (voting tickets, different girls or subgroups singing, also is the promotional tactic unique to AKB48 or typical of the industry) although whether they are "advanced" or "successful" is opinion unless it is backed up by the appropriate references. -AngusWOOF (talk) 18:55, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I looked at it. Thank you! The release section explaining the differences in editions in prose is nice. And it was clever to use the King Records profiles as references. And the catalog numbers, I never knew where to put them. (By the way, I don't really like how Ryulong used "collapsed=yes" option for CDs. I think only DVDs should be collapsed. But the most important thing is that he put the complete tracklists back and came with a way to make them shorter.) By the way, we can also add the lists of members in prose. Like Natalie did for "Virginity": [7]. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:24, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Kana

Are you not the same Moscowconnection wrote a highly articulate series of posts arguing against the use of kana at WT:WikiProject_Japan/Archive/May_2012? I thought we resolved this issue a long time ago. What is going on here? Did the kana pod come by and take away the real Moscowconnection? Kauffner (talk) 12:10, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

The discussion did not end in any decision. I don't think it's correct to just go and remove the kana without discussing with Ryulong first. Also, since then I've found a couple of examples when the group was referred to as simply "キュート".

DYK nomination of Momoiro Clover Z

Hello! Your submission of Momoiro Clover Z at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! – Muboshgu (talk) 17:54, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Why are you deleting stuff from MCZ's wiki page? (Music Videos, DVD's, Nippon Egao hyakkei single?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by MomoiroCloverZ (talk • contribs) 02:18, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

• 1. Read this: Template:Did you know nominations/Momoiro Clover Z. It would be nice if you added something to the article too, some clever text. It would help the nomination and it would make the article better. 2. I moved everything to Momoiro Clover Z discography, it will be much safer there. The single released as Momoclo Tei Ichimon is also on the discography page, but I thought it was a bit out of place in the very short table that was left in the main article. For example, Morning Musume also released a single under a different name, and it is not even on the list of their singles. I think it's better like this. 3. I removed the slogans cause they were unsourced. It was necessary for the "Did you know" nomination. If you find reliable sources for everything, including the reasons the slogans were chosen, I will add them back. --Moscow Connection (talk) 04:50, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

• The article is quite random, I'm struggling to rewrite it. It would be nice if you helped by adding more important moments to the history of the group, and also by adding more general sentences about the group, its musical style, etc. to the Overview section. But it should be sourced. --Moscow Connection (talk) 05:04, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

• Could you read the entire article and correct the language? Basically, you can do whatever you want, rewrite any sentence however you want. Cause 1. I wrote it in a hurry. 2. I'm looking at it and this is not how I left it about a week ago cause other people changed it. 3. Whatever you do won't make it any worse or less recorgnizable to me. 4. The whole article needs some kind of idea, currently it is just a collection of random facts. --Moscow Connection (talk) 07:22, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

AKB48 member chart

I started reorganizing the Team A roster at User:AngusWOOF/sandbox. If that format looks good then I can cut that in. Still unclear whether we need the election ranks but that can be discussed on the talk page. -AngusWOOF (talk) 20:25, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

I placed a copy of my rewrite of the Concept and Membership section in my User:AngusWOOF/sandbox. Please review that and mark it up with clarifies. I don't see where anything there is majorly wrong, but I have removed the stuff about counting Senbatsu members as the rules change for every election and tournament. Waiting Girls and added citation needed for the other election singles that needed referencing. I also updated the member count per the official site which DOES count Kenkyusei as members. The "research students" term is used in Yahoo and other media references. There is no more Team 4; they disbanded according to the calendar. Kenkyusei still fit the definition of understudy; I really don't think that needs to be described in detail beyond that term. -AngusWOOF (talk) 06:12, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Momoiro Clover Z

Hello! Your submission of Momoiro Clover Z at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! —♦♦ AMBER^(ЯʘCK) 19:28, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much! I will make the tone less promotional. I will reply on the nomination page after I've done it cause it is too long already. --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:13, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

I've rereviewed the article.—♦♦ AMBER^(ЯʘCK) 09:54, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

I approved your article earlier today. I think it's encyclopedic enough as of now. I have a few recommendations to make, though, in case you want to get this article further than DYK:

• "Overall, the group and its music has been noted as progressive and forward-thinking." <-- No reference at all
• "Momoiro Clover Z loosely parodies Japanese sentai (costumed superhero) shows and themes." <-- not supported by reference
• "The band is proving the theme song" <-- the band is what?

—♦♦ AMBER^(ЯʘCK) 15:37, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

• The source is at the end of the paragraph, it says "Despite sticking out on the bill, Momoiro’s intricate J-pop fit in well at a festival full of similar forward-thinking acts." There was another source, this one, it says "Even if you think the result sounds horrible, it is progressive in its own way, and the idols that get the most attention from the experimental fringes tend to be the more musically ambitious ones." I'll add it back now.
• The source says "The first, "Z Densetsu~Owarinaki Kakumei~" (Z legend, never-ending revolution), is a light-hearted squadron-hero parody." But I will add another reference from the article about the single ("Z Densetsu: Owarinaki Kakumei").
• The band is "providing". It wasn't me who wrote the sentence.

Template:Hello! Project!

Thanks for the feedback. To be honest, I know little information about Hello Project nowadays. I based the template off of its Japanese counterpart... well, somewhat. I guess we can put S/mileage under Current Groups. What do you think? And yeah, I actually find the template bulky with all the former/current subgroups as well. I guess we'll be able to improve it in the future. Eugh jei ♥ Kaorin 13:25, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Okay, now I understand why you placed S/mileage and Hello! Project Kids and Ice Creamusume and Francis & Aiko in the Kenshusei section. (Bacause you don't follow Hello! Project lately. :D) Sure, we should improve it basing on the one from the Japanese Wikipedia. It is just that it is so big that it will take a long time. Your version has some very good ideas. --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:12, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

The new version's better. :D The only problem, I think, is Mitsui's name not being on it as Hello! Project's sole soloist. Wikipedia readers might question it. For me, it's okay since she hasn't released anything yet. I think the real question is will she release anything. :3 Eugh jei ♥ Kaorin 23:26, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, that's why I deleted her. Because she hasn't released anything. She has been listed as a solo artist for a very long time now and nothing has happened. Also, there's only her, so she would look better in a section named something like "Other acts" (meaning "Current groups and solo artists"), together with Buono!, etc. By the way, where is she listed as a solo artist under Hello! Project? I don't even know. --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:39, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Okay, she's here: [8]. It was easy, I just never looked. I will add her now. --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:42, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! Eugh jei ♥ Kaorin 00:05, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

You can do whatever you want with the template. I just wanted to fix some mistakes, that's all. Whatever you do, the template can't possibly become worse than now. :) There are too many inactive acts, I can't think of a system to make the list less incomprehensible. You have improved it a lot already, I don't want to stop you. --Moscow Connection (talk) 00:13, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Of course! Will do. Eugh jei ♥ Kaorin 08:55, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Your comments in the image discussion

Everything after "I don't really want to discuss any editor personally" is completely irrelevant (who cares what edits they've made on other wikis?) and inappropriate. I strongly usge you to delete that entire portion of your remarks. LadyofShalott 01:53, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

I didn't like it when I wrote it and looked at the preview, but decided to post it cause, as you can see, the post I replied to starts with "Recently, the user Moscowconnection don't want to replace the main picture." and it's like it discusses me personally, like if I did something wrong. But sure, I deleted it immediately. As I said, I didn't think it looked good and appropriate myself. But I decided it was relevant to the discussion after all, cause the discussion was about me. --Moscow Connection (talk) 02:06, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. I the discussion opens with comments about your edits not about you, but I think you were edging over the line to commenting about the other editor in analysing their edits across multiple wikis. Anyway, thank you again for removing them. LadyofShalott 02:10, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. You helped to delete something that I would have regretted later. I commented on the edits in other wikis because I have the Japanese Wikipedia article in my watch list. And I am the one who created the article in Spanish. So it's natural that I saw everything. I reverted only in the English Wikipedia, by the way. --Moscow Connection (talk) 02:27, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

New Pages

This may sound dumb, but how do I create a brand new page? Is there a short tutorial somewhere online I can glance at? I don't need or want to create a new page right now, but I may want to at some point in the future. I was thinking about fleshing out wiki's Japanese dramas/movies section (it's woefully lacking, asianwiki.com is much more thorough). Anyway, thanks for stopping by and saying hello! I'm just starting to get wiki figured out, you'll probably see me around. Oh, and don't be afraid to call me on my mistakes, you won't hurt my feelings. :) GrapperJ (talk) 06:49, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

It's not dumb. :D I think "they" made it intentionally hard to find a way to do it.
First, you need to be logged in. Then, you need to find yourself at the address where you want to create a page.
I use Method 1, sometimes 2 or 3.

1. Search for something using the searchbox in the top right corner. For example, for "Fairies vs. Ninjas". Wikipedia will say «You may create the page "Fairies vs. Ninjas", but consider checking the search results below to see whether the topic is already covered.» Click on the red link "Fairies vs. Ninjas". An edit box will open.
2. Or, you can just type "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairies_vs._Ninjas" or "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairies vs. Ninjas" in the address bar. You'll see a page saying «Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name.» and there will be a "Create" button in a corner.
3. Open any Wikipedia article, write "[[Fairies vs. Ninjas]]". Don't click "Save page", click the "Show preview" button. You'll see a red link to "Fairies vs. Ninjas". Click it and there will be the same page with a "Create" button as described in Method 2.
4. This may come handy: Wikipedia:Starting an article.

By the way, I'm not sure there aren't other ways to do it. Like, some button I have never seen. It would be funny if there actually was a button for creating a new page with any title and I didn't know it. --Moscow Connection (talk) 17:13, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

AKB48 election table wording

Hiya, can you check the wording on the lead sentence for AKB48#Members, and make corrections onto the footnote if I interpreted the chart incorrectly? -AngusWOOF (talk) 16:26, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

I can't do it now. I missed the first half of the live broadcast of the election, so I don't want to read the table until I watch a recording of it. :) --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:44, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

No worries. I'll paste it here:

(Names are arranged in gojuon order, as appearing on the official website, and include ranks (footnote) from each of the annual general elections starting from 2009.)

footnote: In the annual general election, the candidates are ranked 1-64 or x. A grey space in the table means the member was not a candidate for the election.

-AngusWOOF (talk) 22:11, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

• They are not ranked either 1–64 or "x". Before, there a lower number of places to be filled at an election. Since it's just a footnote at the very bottom, I'll reword it now without looking. --Moscow Connection (talk) 00:16, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Koi Suru merge

Hi, I have submitted some merge requests for various AKB48 song covers done by the sister groups such as "Koi Suru Fortune Cookie" with "Fortune Cookie Yang Mencinta (JKT48 song)". If you can chime in on Talk:Koi Suru Fortune Cookie that would be great. This will likely affect other covers such as "River (AKB48 song)" and "Heavy Rotation (song)" Will try to preserve as much data about each single as we can, including the personnel for the covers.

AKB48 discography music videos

For the AKB48 discography music videos section, I recommend removing the album and no. reference, so that it just lists the video, director, performance group if it lists a title other than AKB48, and then add a column for notes and references, as with Beyoncé_Knowles_videography#List_of_music_videos. The music video can always be linked back to the appropriate singles articles. Notes can be used for video charting or details like the large number of extras for Koi Suru, or how that sister group made 63 different versions of the same music video and set a Guinness World Record as a result. -AngusWOOF (talk) 14:45, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

• I think it's a good idea to remove the single titles, leaving just the numbers. Especially since the first track is the title track. But I'm against removing the numbers cause I think it's important to group all the videos like that. And surely, if some song is not listed as a song by a team of a subgroup/unit, it's not necessary to repeat "AKB48, AKB48" every time. It's okay to add a notes section, but I think we should try to write just one comment for every single and use a lots of <br />s to make the table narrower. --Moscow Connection (talk) 16:57, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

• I've also just merged the "Music video" and "Artist" columns to save space. You can do it differently if you want. But now you can add long comments if you wish. --Moscow Connection (talk) 17:35, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Dayana Kirillova

Hello! Your submission of Dayana Kirillova at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 22:02, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Please see new note on DYK nomination page. Yoninah (talk) 19:29, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Yes, the image was inserted properly. Best, Yoninah (talk) 23:41, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

AKB48 on Spotify

AKB48 has some songs on Spotify now - some of their more recent stuff from Manatsu no Sounds Good! to Koi Suru Fortune Cookie. -AngusWOOF (talk) 22:41, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

• I haven't even heard of Spotify before. :) No wonder, cause I've just looked what it is and their website says it's "not available in my country". --Moscow Connection (talk) 16:01, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

No worries. It's an online way to listen to the songs and support the bands. I added some track lengths based on what they listed there; it might be off by a second depending on what list to view (webpage for spotify instead of what's in spotify itself). I also listened to the off vocal versions on some of the tracks, and they have no backing vocals whatsoever, so can remove any specific off-vocal tracks where they explicitly credit lyrics to Akimoto. -AngusWOOF (talk) 19:15, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

I think the only right place to find track lengths is the CDs. So we should better trust the Japanese Wikipedia and just copy all track lengths from there.
By the way, since you are here... :))) In the tables you created for all the AKB48 members, there's a column named "role". I think it's rather misleading, cause I don't think there's such thing as a "main role". If you mean "media sembatsu", write "media sembatsu". If you mean "main vocals" (like, the ones who have solo parts), write "main vocals". If you mean the front row of 5 or 7 singers or something, then better write a fan name for that. I understand that a research would be needed for each single to do that, so probably the easiest way is to write "A-side" the same way you wrote "B-side". (And maybe you did mean "A-side", I didn't think about that. :)) --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:52, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Regarding track lengths, yes, the best would be the CD cover or insert if available; I can leave a comment in each section where it refers to it as source (cover insert, Japanese wikipedia, iTunes/Spotify/music service). For Role, I treat it like a filmography of whether they participated on the title track and whether they are the center. I'm good with calling that "A-side" I don't want to dive into the original research assignments like "right of center in front row" or "centers for Team B when they perform this live" or "solos the second verse of the second stanza" or "the girl with the green hat, solos in video" stuff, etc. -AngusWOOF (talk) 14:28, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

I've just redirected "Off vocal" to "Backing track". I found the right word for this a long time ago, but forgot to redirect. That's what it is, a backing track, not a karaoke version. There are no backing vocals probably because there are no backing vocals on AKB48 songs. :) But I'm not sure. As I said earlier, there was something that sounded like vocals, but in fact was synthesized. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:58, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

"Off-vocal" probably means "without all vocals". But I said, I'm not sure there are backing vocals on AKB48 songs. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:50, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Sounds good. It looks like "Off vocal" redirects to "backing track" here anyway :) The off vocals I've heard so far (Eien Pressure, Koi suru) don't have backing vocals; I can listen to the others. -AngusWOOF (talk) 14:28, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

You are doing a good work with all these pages. :) The "Role" column still looks a bit strange, but I don't really know how to do it better. Everythhing looks nice, there's a lot of useful info now. :) --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:49, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

You recently reverted an edit by me. This edit that I had don was to fiax an CHECKWIKI-error. It might make a diffrence in the page, but is still important. -(t) Josve05a (c) 11:31, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

• It's not an error. Please look at the page, is it better before or after? It's WPCleaner that needs to be changed, not the article. --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:07, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

• I think I need to explain. I added the line breaks on purpose. The article looks better like that. Therefore it's not an error and it doesn't have to be fixed. I think I should report this problem to the people who made the tool, but I can't find a place for reporing bugs in WPCleaner or submiting suggestions, just this place: Wikipedia talk:WPCleaner. --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:39, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Suzuka Nakamoto, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Heavy metal (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, I'm Pratyya Ghosh. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to BabyMetal because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, you can use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Pratyya ^(Hello!) 13:34, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

• My edits were perfectly correct. I understand that the title didn't look right, but you actually reverted to an incorrect version (cause someone changed Suzuka Nakamoto's birth date and I changed it back).
  In short, in my 3 edits you reverted:
  1. I reverted Suzuka Nakamoto's birth date to the correct one.
  2. I added a link to a newly created article about Suzuka Nakamoto.
  3. I changed the romanization of the title "ヘドバンギャー!!" to the way it is officially written by the band (see this). "ヘドバンギャー!!" is not "Headbanger!!". They wrote the word differently in Japanese (longer, cuter sounding last syllable) and they also write it differently in English. ("Headbanger!!" would be "ヘドバンガー!!".) --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:33, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Dayana Kirillova

Hi, I was the one who reviewed your DYK nomination. How did Dayana do at the 2013 Junior Eurovision contest? Yoninah (talk) 13:58, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

• Only 4th place. The first 3 countries gave her 12 points (first place), but then more countries continued to vote, and it all deteriorated. The Russian vote finished it off with giving Belorussia 12 points, and Russia fell even lower. Here: Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2013#Scoreboard. --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:22, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

• Oh. Well, I'm sure we'll be hearing more of her in the future. Best, Yoninah (talk) 16:18, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

• I'm sure too. :) Best! --Moscow Connection (talk) 16:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

YouTube links - again

Moscow,

It was pointed out a while about about using YouTube links on external link sections. See Wikipedia:External links#Links normally to be avoided. It was already decided not to use them on Eurovision-related articles to avoid potential copyright violations. Wes Mᴥuse 14:17, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

You were even told 18 months ago by an administrator, not to add YouTube links to external sections. Need I say more! Wes Mᴥuse 14:22, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm very sorry I've just reverted your revert. You see, it is not forbidden to add YouTube links if they are official. I didn't say anything yesterday cause the article about JESC 2013 didn't have the links to start with. According to Wikipedia guidelines, you had every right to revert me on the page that didn't have the links before I came. I had to start a discussion on the talk page to put the links back.
I would really hope that you let me add the links cause I think we all are interested in helping people to know more about Eurovision song contests. One picture is worth a thousand words. Adding links like this is natural. If paper encyclopedias could contain complete texts of everything, complete videos depicting all the events in the history of mankind, I am sure they would print them all too. We, here in the Internet, have this opportunity, and we should link Wikipedia to everything, to all the sites containing more knowledge about the events. I like tables and videos because they are either easier to comprehend or contain more information than any text in a Wikipedia article could ever contain.

I see some red squares again. Probably you reverted me again or posted on my talk page. I have to go now, but I will revert you back until the community of Wikipedia editors comes to some sort of consensus to remove the links. Sorry.

Just think, would it be better if the readers could just watch the complete event instead of reading all these (horrible) articles? (My articles are horrible, I know it.) I personally think that I would prefer a YouTube link to the whole article about JESC 2013.

As for your invitation to join the Eurovision Project... You see, my interest in Eurovision is occasional. And all my interest in Wikipedia is occasional lately too... I can't really... I'm still here on Wikipedia cause sometimes I see something that I want people to know about, so I return to add an article about it to Wikipedia... Now I think I probably shouldn't have returned to the English Wikipedia again... I really don't understand why people insist like this and revert me... Were these links useful? They certainly were. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:42, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Moscow, I've moved your post from my talk page to here. It does show on my talk page edit notice to respond on the talk page that I have made the thread, saves me having to go back and forth to keep track on a single conversation. Wes Mᴥuse 14:48, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Firstly they are forbidden if used for external linking purposes. They can be used for citations within a prose, but not as an external link. It is because they are classified as promotional material, and wikipedia is not for promotional material. An admin told you 18 months ago about this, and you acknowledged them. So why now have you decided to disregard their advice? The links themselves contain adverts, which is against policy. The YouTube channel you linked belongs to the EBU, and they are very strict when it come to copyright violating. Believe me, I was forced to take a YT link off my own Facebook page that I linked from Eurovision Channel, and I was not impressed when the EBU threatened to take legal action against me. Do you really think the Wikipedia bosses would be overly pleased if they got threatened by the EBU for having a link which you posted? Who do you think they'd come chasing after first? I'm only watching your back at the end of the day, as you are a good editor. I'd hate to see you get in trouble over a YT link. If people want to view YT then they are capable of doing so themselves, we're not here to hold viewers hands. We're here to provide research material. Let's stick to the sole purpose of Wikipedia shall we.

It isn't a case of what you like, it is what the Wikipedia community has imposed. Wikipedia is not here to be linking to every god forsaken site via external links. There is a limitation as well as common sense on what we can and cannot link. That's why there are policies that explicitly state this. Threatening to keep reverting will only result in your account getting blocked for exceeding WP:3RR, and they can range from 24 hours up to 3 months or more. Do you really want to have your editing privileges stopped just for the sake of "making something prettier because that's how you want it"? C'mon, time to be proper and grown up here. Wikipedia is for providing written material, use YouTube in citations, but not for the sake of giving someone a place to go watch the music video, or full replay of the contest. Fans already know where to go to find that stuff, and they would not be coming here first to look for it. Wes Mᴥuse 14:54, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Also you said that you'd keep reverting me until the community of Wikipedia editors comes to some sort of consensus to remove the links. Sorry my friend, but they already have, 4 years ago, 3 years ago, and 2 months ago at admin noticeboard. According to the admins music videos used in external links are a serious violation of WP:NOTDIRECTORY. So best to avoid them as externals. Used as a reference to cite a prose text within the article though is permitted. As your method does not do this, then they cannot be used. Wes Mᴥuse 15:15, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Thank you for not reverting me and writing here instead! I've just wrote to you too: User talk:Wesley Mouse#Reverts. I am very sorry, but since there are no copyright violations here, then there's nothing to avoid. :) As I can remember, the admin didn't say that there could be no links at all. Drmies just said that adding too many links was ridiculous. I agree that I overdid it back then. I personally think that having a couple of links is okay. --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:22, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Could you show me where it was decided that Eurovision-related articles can't contain any links to YouTube? If there was such a decision, I will obey. (I would have to start a new discussion about it and so on, but I don't care about Eurovision-related articles enough to do it...) It would be easier for me just to surrender. I wonder why some editors are so persistent in small matters like this one... --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:22, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

(edit conflict) These's some other red square. Sorry, I have to go now... As for joining the Eurovision Project... Thank you for you invitation, but I can't... I would really prefer just to create new articles occasionally... It is very sad that just when it seemed that we two could work together, there appeared some other matter you felt very strong about, strong enough to revert me several times in a row... Remember, Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle... You reverted two or three times (including another article). --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:22, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

I have to go now... There's too much text and my phone is ringing and my edit page is too large to load fast... --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:22, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Do you even know how Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle works? I removed the YT links explaining why. You then reverted them back. I then did Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle, which is what created this thread. What you should have done was to engage in discussion, not revert things back again, and thus put yourself into WP:3RR territory. Really, I should be going to WP:ANI now and reporting 3RR violations, but I ma assuming good faith in that you were not fully aware of how WP:BRD works. I have provided above 3 archived discussion from the Admin Noticeboards, which all show that YouTube links are only allowed if used in the main article prose as at {{cite web}}. They cannot be used in the external links for the sake of providing readers navigational access to re-watch the contest or segments of the contest again. If fans wants to do that,k they would go to those pages directly first, before even coming here. We are not the directory, we are the encyclopaedia. Google is the directory, YouTube is the directory. Wes Mᴥuse 15:32, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Since you reverted me again, theatened me with WP:ANI (what for, who reverted who first and how many times?), notified Drmies saying that I was the one who dragged him into this discussion (if it was me, then what is the link saying "18 months ago" doing there, on top of this discussion?), etc., then let's stop this, okay? Please... I don't agree with you and I think there isn't much logic in what you say about violating copyright (the videos are uploaded by the European Broadcasting Union)... But who cares... Okay? (I didn't want to reply at all, but I thought someone might read this thread and think that I did something wrong... Please don't be angry if I don't reply... My plans were to go away for some time...) --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:37, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Hold it there for one second. As I pointed out above, I did bold, revert, discuss. It was you who failed to follow on with the "discuss", by reverting for a second time. That was wrong of you to do for starters, and made it look as if you were trying to prove a point because things were not being done to your liking. I never threatened you with ANI. If you read again, I said I should have done (which is what you'll find most people would have done) but I chose not to as I assumed good faith in the fact that you may have misunderstood WP:BRD. So that was not a threat at all. If it were to be a threat, then I would not have informed you about it, I would have just done it. I never mentioned Drmies first, I mentioned the discussion regarding this matter which took place 18 months ago, and that is clear in the fact that I linked to that discussion and used the term "18 months ago". It was you who mentioned Drmies, directly by name - thus you dragged him in this for no reason. And you don't have to agree with me. I have provided you with guidance links as well as links to previous discussion regarding YouTUbe links, that have taken place at the administration noticeboard. You made reference to the fact that you would willingly engage in edit warring until an admin told you that YouTube links are not allowed. That in itself is a threat made by you. I gave links to discussions which shown admins clearly stating that YouTube links are only allowed in citations, and not as external links. I read all those old discussions and they all say the same thing, that they breach what Wikipedia is not, they go against WP:NOTDIRECTORY, and as was pointed out 18 months ago, they also constitute promotional material. The primary objective here is to provide articles that are neutral, and of educational content. A video link of a contest replay is not educational, it is entertainment. Fans would not visit Wikipedia first to solely find a YouTube link to a contest replay. That is common logic. A fan has sense to go to the YouTube website directly to find such videos. By putting the links on here, you are insulting the intelligence of the fans, by saying they have not got the brains to look on YouTube first. The articles alone describe the content as it is. They don't need video links for cosmetic and/or padding purposes. And that is the point that you seem to fail to grasp. If I had not removed the links, then it would only have been a matter of time before someone on the project did, as they all know the guidance about YouTube links being added to the external links section. Your actions are basically insulting their intelligence, not mine. Wes Mᴥuse 18:56, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

You provided many links and there are many people saying different things in different situations. If the videos were so easy to find, why do these official uploads have much less views than other, illegally uploaded, ones? I think you would actually helped fight piracy by providing the only legitimate links. But okay, I understand your position, let's not argue anymore... I have left the Eurovision-related pages for now... --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:48, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

(off-topic) Just look at these vids. The picture is worth 1 billion words. You can't possibly describe it in words. :) It is just not possible to see this and not add a link. Don't you like to share with people?

1. Barbara -Ohrid i muzika (FYR Macedonia) Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2013 - YouTube
2. Barbara Popović - Ohrid i muzika (F.Y.R. Macedonia) - LIVE - Junior 2013 - YouTube.

She needs an article. How will the article be without these links?
But okay. Please let's stop now... I'm sorry if you thought I wasn't polite... --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:48, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

• I'm not sure what y'all are talking about, which articles in which links. I have interacted with Moscow Connection over various things including video links, but in the context of K-pop articles. We have guidelines and policies, of course, but before that we have common sense and editorial practice, not to mention context: what is fine in one article may not be fine in another, and a lot depends on the function of the link and the content and author of the video in question. Moscow Connection was nice enough to ping me in one of their comments, by the way, so notifying me wasn't necessary and, at any rate, I don't feel "dragged" into anything. Let me add also that I don't believe I have acted toward Moscow Connection in my capacity as an administrator, only as an editor. Without specific context, I have to assume that the business of these video links is an editorial matter possibly containing interpretation of a guideline, and not primarily some kind of violation, so a. I don't feel the need to put on my admin hat and b. whatever I told Moscow Connection earlier was not (if memory serves me right) some kind of administrative edict. In other words, my comments carry no particular special force, outside perhaps that of an editor with some experience here. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 22:09, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

It's all this "a picture speaks a million words" fiasco. 1. it is video, not a picture. 2. this is an encyclopaedia using primarily written prose, not a YouTube directory, and 3. there's such thing as a script which actually does describe what happened in a video performance (so words do in fact describe the video). And for the fact that you have said the links are there to help guide a reader to YT to watch the performances again, does not serve as an encyclopaedic point of view. It just makes it look like we're hosting YT links just for the sake of cosmetic purposes. Like I keep saying, if someone is purposely going looking for a YouTube link, then they would visit YouTube first, not here. A person's intellect is not that stupid that they'd come to Wikipedia first to search for a YT link. People visit Wikipedia to research on whatever it is they are researching. Just like people visit YouTUbe to purposely search for videos. To put into a different perspective; would you go to YouTube and search for a Wikipedia article? No, you'd come here to do that. So I see no purpose for us to be using YT clips in the external sections just to highlight a replay of a contest or a replay of a song. If we started to put these videos on every Eurovision/Junior Eurovision, then it would turn us into some sort of YouTube directory, especially when there's well over 1000 entries combined. A limit has to be drawn, so it would be better to have none, than over a 1000. Wes Mᴥuse 00:45, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

And on another aspect, it is not our responsibility as Wikipedian editors to be tackling YouTube's piracy issues. That is their job to do. Would you expect the bosses at YouTube to start tackling our vandalism edits or start blocking people on Wikipedia? No, you wouldn't. You asked "If the videos were so easy to find, why do these official uploads have much less views than other, illegally uploaded, ones?" - the answer is simple. It all depends on what keywords the individual inputs to find what it is they are looking for. And then it is their choice which video from the search results they wish to view. Just because official uploads get fewer views than unofficial ones has nothing to do with it. It is down to human choice. To put it another way, you had to visit YouTube and input what it was you were looking for, in order to link it on here... correct? So answer vthis, what was it that made you click on a particular video link to view? I know now why, it was because that was your personal choice to click on a particular link, as is the case for other people in the world who visit YouTube, they click on what catches their eye the most. So if you could find the video on YouTube, then I'm 99.9% sure the rest of the human race is capable of doing the same. We're not here to hold their hands, we're here to write up articles for educational purposes. And then you say "(off-topic) Just look at these vids. The picture is worth 1 billion words. You can't possibly describe it in words. :) It is just not possible to see this and not add a link. Don't you like to share with people?". Not quite "off-topic" to be fair, was it? Videos are not there to write up articles for educational purposes (see WP:NOTPLOT). We're suppose to write articles based on written sources. It is very possible to see a video and not add a link. I watch hundreds of music videos on YouTube, and I don't link everything I view just to highlight to other what I have viewed. Not everyone is interested in that, if they were interested they'd have looked up the video themselves. You asked do I like to share with people? Yes I do, but there is a place to do the sharing, and that's social media. This isn't social media, this is a research factory. Wes Mᴥuse 03:28, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

The other day you asked "Could you show me where it was decided that Eurovision-related articles can't contain any links to YouTube? If there was such a decision, I will obey.", although you further added "(I would have to start a new discussion about it and so on, but I don't care about Eurovision-related articles enough to do it...)" which implies that you were not going to obey even if a decision to omit YT links was agreed. The second bullet-point of this project discussion which reads "Link to the Eurovision.tv website should be enough. Allowing in fansites is just going to open the flood gates and is more trouble than its worth. Many videos on YouTube are copyvios and those should not be linked to per WP:YT. CT Cooper · talk 3:24 pm, 30 May 2012, Wednesday (1 year, 6 months, 6 days ago) (UTC+1)". There is the decision not to have YT links in the external section. And that I believe concludes this debate. Happy editing! Wes Mᴥuse 06:44, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Japanverse

This source appears to be a webzine, and as such would by definition fail WP:RS by a country mile. Please do not use it as a source for anything. Similarly, adding Youtube links to band articles has long contravened WP:EL. Please don't. That is what Google, or indeed Youtube, are for. We are supposed to be an encyclopedia, not advertising space. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 20:07, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

• I will find some reliable sources for them playing death metal now. Wait an hour or so. You are free to remove links to YouTube. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:12, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

If you find something that passes WP:RS for the death metal claim, that's fine. The edit commentary "they say they are death metal, so they are death metal" is roughly the most ridiculous thing I've heard all day. That is absolutely the antithesis of how WP works. make sure your reliable source is independent and printed in some professional source, preferably print. Webzines totally fail the criteria, so if using an online source it has to be one that has elsewhere been published by an independent, third-party professional body (hence we allow Allmusic and MusicMight, but not Metal Archives or Japanverse). Repeated additions to the list articles without such sources will be considered vandalism. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 20:19, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

I've added a source for one of their songs, called "BABYMETAL DEATH", being of the death metal genre.
Talking of vandalism, I'm sorry, but the way you tagged a group that had a couple of top ten hits with a notability tag may well be considered vandalism. :D
I will add more sources shortly. (Allmusic is not very professional, by the way. As for Babymetal, Babymetal had several releases reviewed by Rolling Stone (Rolling Stone Japan, to be exact). I'm sure the same can't be said about 99 percent of death metal groups in the list where you removed them from.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:37, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Reviews in Rolling Stone: [9], [10]. They gave them 4 out of 5 for "Ijime, Dame, Zettai". They are the future of death metal. :) --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:42, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

I've added a nice English-language source for other genres: [11]. Barks (ja) is a reliable music news site. There have been plenty of articles about them in the Japanese media, they are very popular. I can find some more if it is needed. But I think it's enough.
As for the song "BABYMETAL DEATH" being death metal, it is also said here, for example: [12]. ("デスメタルナンバー" means "death metal number", search for it.) I couldn't find any source for "melodic death metal", though. I reverted that edit of yours simply because there was no edit summary and at the first glance it looked like your purpose was simply to eradicate all memory of Babymetal (and some other bands you removed from the list in the same edit). --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:31, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Another source in case you didn't see me adding it. German Metal Hammer said their music was a mix of Japanese pop and death metal: [13]. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:15, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Reference Errors on 30 December

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

• On the Kanako Momota page, your edit caused a URL error (help) and an unnamed parameter error (help). (Fix | Ask for help)

AKB48 tables

Please do not blindly revert to restore content that actually is on the article presently. Your edit removed every single improvement to formatting (removal of birth prefectures, conversion of {{birth date}} to {{birth date and age}}) that the talk page thought was beneficial. I only removed the table for the kenkyusei in my recent edits. It's pointless for them because they have no votes.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 19:19, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

• Okay, sorry, I will look at it now. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:59, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
• The table is now unreadable. You should revert back and delete only the prefectures. --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:18, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

  The table is not "unreadable". Check the talk page. People like no prefectures. I have made several corrections to errors in formatting that you are removing every single time. Participate in the discussion on the talk page instead of edit warring for fucks sake.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:00, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

  If you persist in edit warring rather than discussing things with myself, Angus Woof, Rka001, and others who I can't remember off of the top of my head, you may be blocked for edit warring. This is the new consensus version that a majority of people agree on.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:04, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

For fucks sake stop reverting me. The version I've produced is actually liked by people on the talk page. They are all in agreement that the prefecture information is pointless. Stop reverting. Stop breaking everything that I fixed in the older versions. There were so many god damn malformed dates of birth in there. There were abbreviated ones, ones that weren't provided in the proper formatting, and names that were just written wrong. I have been actively discussing the edits on the talk page. You have not. This is the new consensus version. Stop reverting me and discuss shit on the talk page now.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 13:56, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Then just remove the prefectures. It will take less time than fixing after you. People liked the list the way it was before. I think your version is so awful that any normal person would want to destroy it immediately. It's not fair. --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:58, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

There was no consensus. I don't like it. You are the one who is edit warring. --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:58, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Okay, I will now fix your awful version. :) It will take ages. But I will make the tables small again. They will look as before, but without the prefectures. Please don't revert. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:02, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

There are multiple people there who agree with the current state of the article, because most of the opposition is to my original complete deletion of the tables and vote information, and the discussion is currently underway as to where the vote stuff is supposed to go. My version adds the proper way to write the names of many of the members of the group where there were errors before, removes the prefectures, and adds their current ages. Simply because you think it's ugly doesn't mean you're right and I'm wrong. Stop reverting. Participate in the talk page discussion. Do not change anything because there were so many mistakes before. There were so many names written completely wrong, and at Momoiro Clover Z there is no reason to have a table just to say what color they wear, having a box of that color, and to have the Kanji of their names when each member has her own article. Please stop and discuss things on the talk pages before you do all this shit.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 14:03, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

You need to realize that Wikipedia isn't your catch all idol group fansite that you seem to be turning it into. There is no need to make things "pretty" because you seem to think that these "ugly" versions of the tables aren't good or that tables are necessary to present this information.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 14:19, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm not trying to turn Wikipedia into anything. For your information, the AKB48 article wasn't even on my watch list as of yesterday, before I saw the discussion on the talk page. You need to realize that there are other editors on Wikipedia and they may not agree with you and it is not nice to enforce your opinions. You should discuss before making any changes. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:25, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Re: Babymetal

Check the source. It's subtitled in English. They say exactly what I put there. Don't remove sourced information just because you think it is irrelevant. The origins of the name of a band or any other subject is such a basic information, no wonder many articles at Wikipedia have sometimes entire sections covering etymology. Since when the official website of a band is the only valid source? Not everything about a topic will be in its official website, you know. That's why we have magazines, newspapers, books, etc. And how do you know they simply "decided to invent a clever story" for the name? Blabbermouth is a reliable source, but I will add a direct link to Razor TV since that's the precise source. If you're still somehow against the addition of sourced valid information, you are invited to explain your reasons at the topic I just created at the article's talk page. Let's center the discussion there. If we don't reach an agreement, I'll resource to content dispute resolution. Victão Lopes ^Fala! 17:19, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Kanako Momota

I'm really sorry about the article. I reacted with mild shock when I saw it in the preparation area for the Main Page. I know you have put in a lot of effort into it, and it's easy for someone to just come in and criticise it to death. I can understand how you might be feeling, and I hope you will not be driven away by this minor setback. This could have been avoided if the dyk reviewer was more experienced and gave you hints to improve it, but I'm disconcerted that it seems that's not what DYK reviews are about. I have contacted one experienced editor resident in Japan who I hope could help out. Failing which, you should post on WP:JAPAN for editors familiar with the language and culture, and WP:BIOGRAPHY to better understand the job of writing biographies. Best regards, -- Ohc ^¡digame! 02:02, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

AKB48 member list

Please please please copy the text into a page like your sandbox and work on it there instead of breaking the live article. My version is not missing members. You have deleted them as far as I can tell.

Also, do not remove the Hepburn romanizations, and your "floating columns" don't work.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 07:02, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

My version is much less broken than yours. --Moscow Connection (talk) 07:17, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

I only deleted the members that were transferred overseas. (The list is incorrect anyway, it hasn't been updated in ages.) You deleted Amina Sato, for one. It is very hard to spot if there are any more members missing because of the unofficial order. --Moscow Connection (talk) 07:26, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

There is no such thing as an "official order". The Japanese website uses the Japanese gojuon ordering. It would be the same if they had an English website and they used the English alphabetical ordering. Holy cow. But please, before you try to "fix" things on the main article in multiple edits in a row, make the proposed changes in a sandbox so it looks perfect before you institute it.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 07:52, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

The Englsh version also uses the gojuon ordering. --Moscow Connection (talk) 07:56, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Well that's because Japan doesn't know the English alphabet. English Wikipedia. English ordering systems unless there's an established hierarchy.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 08:38, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at AKB48 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. DAJF (talk) 08:26, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

As far as I understand, I didn't violate the 3RR rule. Ryulong did. (There were 2 unconnected disputes.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 08:30, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

You are both edit-warring. You have been warned. I suggest you stop now. (Note that bit above in bold text that says you can still be blocked even if you don't technically violate the three-revert rule.) --DAJF (talk) 08:40, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Please warn him too (cause I decided against going to admins and decided to just warn him, but he deletes my warning from his talk page.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 08:45, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

WP:OWNTALK states that I am free to remove content from my own user talk page as I wish. There is no imperative to keep that warning there. Additionally, I request that I not be given templated user warnings. Thank you. Now do not post on my user talk page again unless you require my assistance with an article and keep all discussion pertaining to improving or changing AKB48 to Talk:AKB48.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 08:47, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

And again I note that you are forbidding me from editing a page when I stated my intent to incorporate the sections better. Perhaps you should read up on WP:OWN.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 08:50, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Please don't post on my user page too. --Moscow Connection (talk) 09:01, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

No.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 09:12, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

It may look like you want to have the right to bully me. --Moscow Connection (talk) 09:28, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Then you don't have the moral right to tell me I should stay away from yours. I will post on your talk page if I think it is necessary. --Moscow Connection (talk) 09:29, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I see now that we are both edit-warring. (I didn't know it didn't have to be the same reverts. I stopped after 3 reverts to the section order and I didn't know other reverts counted cause the other matter wasn't important and Ryulong said he only reverted me because of errors in wiki formatting.) I've stopped. It's good I didn't go to admins, then. :) I probably have to thank you for your warning cause I had no idea I did something wrong. --08:55, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

I reverted that Ryulong

He should have been blocked (again!) by now since administrators placed him on 1RR, so file a report on him. might I suggest, WP:AN?

It think it would be polite from me if I didn't file a report yet. I don't really want him to be blocked. (If he was placed on 1RR, it will be easy to do it if he continues.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 12:47, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Moscow Connection, the IP that left this message belongs to a banned user. He is lying about what has transpired. I was never put on 1RR.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 14:55, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I see you've started translating the titles to the citations per my suggestion. I'd just like to point out that your efforts at this point in time would be most effective if focussed at getting the content right. You are already aware that the translations may eventually be useful but are principally as a courtesy to the non-Japanese reader. What's more, until the content issue is settled, you will not know the final scope of translation effort. If eventually some content needs to be removed, you precious time and effort will have been optimised without having done unnecessary translations. Regards, -- Ohc ^¡digame! 12:06, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

OK. Thank you. (Especially since I don't have much time now.) I will go through your suggestions. I will start now, but I won't be able to finish everything today because of time shortage.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Momoiro Clover Z. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. DAJF (talk) 04:09, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

I did not start any war! Ryulong came and started it. Anosola reverted him too, look in the edit history. Why are you doing this again? Why don't you warn Ryulong (the one who started the edit war)?
I am the one who is writing the article, not the one who comes and just makes small annoying changes.
Please stop interfering. Do you want me off Wikipedia forever? --Moscow Connection (talk) 04:37, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

As I mentioned in my edit summary, please re-read Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle if you haven't already. Your bold edit was reverted by Ryulong (with a reasonable explanation), but instead of taking this to the Talk page to gain consensus, you simply reverted his edit, which constitutes WP:Edit warring, which is why I placed the warning notice above on your Talk page. If you continue to edit war in spite of the warning, you can expect to be reported. I am also a little concerned about your remarks above, such as "I am the one who is writing the article" and "Stop interfering", as these imply you wish to own the Momoiro Clover Z article, something that is not an option on a communal project like Wikipedia. In the meantime, please have a look at well-developed articles on other famous bands to see how they treat the "History" and "Discography" sections: One Direction (a "Good Article"), Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, ABBA, Atomic Kitten, to name just a small random selection. --DAJF (talk) 05:10, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle says Ryulong should stop, not me.

1. Discography. Ryulong's bold edit was reverted by Anosola, reverted by Ryulong, reverted by me.
2. Section order. Ryulong changed it, I reverted.
   Yes, it took me a long time to react, but I have been avoiding to look at the article almost since Japanglish and Ryulong highjacked it. A month ago I only restored the table of members, I didn't read the article and therefore didn't notice the change in the section order. --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:38, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Natalia Poklonskaya

Suggest discussion on her talk page rather than an edit war. There are lots of articles that refer to the press conference. RonaldDuncan (talk) 19:08, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

I was actually writing a message to post on the talk page. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:10, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Since you created the page and want to keep in clean, please feel free to revert my edit.

Let's talk on the article talk page. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:15, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Moscow Connection, would you like to address a few points raised here? --benlisquare_T•C•E 19:47, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

I recently got good advice for wording a hook: link only the article in question. (By the author of the other disputed nomination, where ALT11 was finally taken and appeared without problems.) That's a bit extreme, but think about two extra links, as in your ALT4. You want people to click your article, they will find the others when they get there, - if the hook says it all they will not get there. Today's lead had only one link and will make the stats: ... that the Thousand-year Rose (pictured) is believed to be the world's oldest rose? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:47, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. (I think I won't touch ALT4 for now. Cause it won't help and will just look like I'm still thinking I can push ALT4 or any hook mentioning the meme through. I think there are some people who want to kill the nomination regardless of the hook. Here's one comment [14]. And I'm afraid there are many more people who are thinking the same thing, but they simply don't openly say it. (If not, why wouldn't they propose another hook instead?) --Moscow Connection (talk) 10:09, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Nomination of Natalia Poklonskaya for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Natalia Poklonskaya is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Natalia Poklonskaya until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Barney the barney barney (talk) 14:59, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Crimea dispute

Look at this. I've started NPOV noticeboard about this POV-pushing. Seryo93 (talk) 06:59, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

• By the way, about this: Wikipedia:Move review/Log/2014 April. Read the rules: Wikipedia:Move review. The procedure is mostly for deciding whether a nomination was closed correctly. And in this case there was no consensus and the discussiion was closed as "no consensus". I think you should keep calm and you probably shouldn't have replied to the nominator cause his latest comment was obviously POV and revealed the true reasons for the request. I think you should remove all caps in your reply. (Yes, you should probably keep an eye on the nomination, but I don't think the closure can possibly be reverted.)
  I would like to draw your attention to another POV editor. (Because I'm not good at fighting and I haven't edited political aticles until recently.) Look at the edit history of this article: Eurasian Observatory for Democracy and Elections. The editor also removes references to Russia Today from everywhere: [15], [16]. Look at his contributions. He really deserves the administrators' attention. --Moscow Connection (talk) 07:24, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

April 2014

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on 2014 Ukrainian revolution. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Darkness Shines (talk) 12:43, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

• How nice to receive this message from a user who is edit warring against me. And who is in the wrong, cause I'm just reverting to a stable state. --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:01, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm LiphradicusEpicus. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Accession of Crimea to the Russian Federation without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. I must ask you to stop deleting reliably sourced information, as this is unwikipedian. You are also refusing to assume good faith and are in violation of the NPOV policy. Thank you. მაLiphradicusEpicusთე 20:33, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

• I would like you to keep in mind what you said to Darkness Shines about a "stable state", but regarding this article. I think that having both pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian terms is stable; if you will notice, I did not delete the part that said "accession", I simply made it an alternate title ("also called by some the accession of...."); this is to reflect the global majority-minority ratio on the topic. Probably 80% of the world...and literally every reliable English source I have seen...refers to it as "annexation"; the other 20%'s, a.k.a. "the minority's", view is reflected secondarily.

• After altering another, unrelated user's edit to the article, it seems to be fully neutral now; as the in-page title (though awkwardly) now reflects the truest neutrality. Since you and I both are very strongly biased on opposing sides, let us compromise on the page title and formally request that the page be renamed to something such as "The Incorporation of"; and then the actual text can have the titles the way they are now. I think if we did that, it would really close out much of the dispute! Thanks. მაLiphradicusEpicusთე
• The title has been successfully changed to "Incorporation of Crimea into the Russian Federation" with a great deal of text stating who calls the process what in the introductory paragraph! Check it out!
• I also added 9 of your talk page references into the text for the term "accession", this way there will be an equal number of references to both terms. I think you'll really appreciate the changes! Anyway, I hope this eases up the situation! :) მაLiphradicusEpicusთე

• This eases up the situation a lot because instead of worrying about the article I added your talk page to my watchlist and grabbed some popcorn, as I expect some admins to come and reprehend you. :) You should familiarize yourself with the rules of Wikipedia. Some of your edits just don't comply to them. Like, yesterday I had all the right to revert you cause you changed the opening paragraph so that it disagreed with the article's title. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:38, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

• Would you prefer a different title, such as "Adoption" or "Reunification" instead of "Incorporation"? I would happily accept these titles too; though in my opinion, "adoption" seems a tad bit biased and I'm not sure other editors favoring "annexation" would approve of this. Let me know what's up! მაLiphradicusEpicusთე

• I would agree to any of these titles, but currently "Reunification" would probably be too much for the English Wikipedia. :) I'm not sure which one I would prefer.
  By the way, I wasn't pinged from another discussion. (Probably because you linked my talk page instead of my user page.) I will probably stay away from the discussion for a while and see how it goes. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:06, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

"naite mo ii n' da yo"

First, this is just painfully incorrect romanization per WP:MOS-JA. No one puts an apostrophe after the N unless it comes before a vowel or a Y kana. Next, you are wrong in your determination of what it means. It is not an abbreviation of "no"; "n da" is the informalized "n desu" copula, and because it's such a short, it's just combined with the previous word. My only source that's Japanese that has this things name in English is Rakuten who are categorizing it as "NAITEMO IINDAYO". I think this is a good enough correction to separate the two particles. If you think this is wrong, start a move discussion because now you completely ruined any chance I had of moving it to a compromise title of "Naite mo Iin Da yo" because you had to make a billion redirects.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 08:48, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

• I didn't ruin anything. You ruined the chance to move it to "Naite mo Iin Da yo". I was just going to move it back to "Naite mo Ii n' Da yo" and then to "Naite mo Iin Da yo" (both times over a redirect).
  Let's just tag "Naite mo Iin Da yo" with {{db-move}} to make space for the move. --Moscow Connection (talk) 08:57, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

  I did that after I attempted to move the page myself and got an error saying that it could not be done.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 09:14, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

  Because an article can be moved over a redirect only if the only edit in the history of the target was redirecting it to the article that is being moved. After you saw that "Naite mo Iin Da yo" was already a redirect to "Naite mo Ii n' Da yo", you should have moved the article back to "Naite mo Ii n' Da yo" and then to "Naite mo Iin Da yo".
  Do you agree to move the article to "Naite mo Iin Da yo"? Can I tag "Naite mo Iin Da yo" for speedy deletion to make space for the move? --Moscow Connection (talk)

I think "Naitemo iindayo" or "Naitemo-iindayo" is the the best. If you write as "Iindayo", "Ii（いい）" is confusingly similar to "li（り）" especially when it's displayed in Gothic font.--Anosola (talk) 10:24, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

I agree it's confusing, but there's probably nothing we can do. (At least it is going to be "Iin Da" cause "Iinda" looks like "Linda".) --Moscow Connection (talk) 10:46, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

り is "ri" not "Li", so there's no confusion with いい being "ii".—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 10:34, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

And Moscow Connection, just go to WP:RM and fill out a technical request.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 10:34, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

I will do it now. --Moscow Connection (talk) 10:46, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

I can see you've already requested it. Thanks. --Moscow Connection (talk) 10:48, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

Warning

Misusing a process discussion for spreading your personal political opinions, as you did here [17], is unacceptable on Wikipedia, especially when it's about a hot political topic like the present Crimea conflict.

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to Eastern Europe. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, satisfy any standard of behavior, or follow any normal editorial process. If you inappropriately edit pages relating to this topic, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read at the "Final decision" section of the decision page.

Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page before making any further edits to the pages in question. This notice is given by an uninvolved administrator and will be logged on the case decision, pursuant to the conditions of the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions system.

Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:45, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as 2014 East Ukraine crisis, to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Wikipedia:Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. RGloucester — ☎ 13:59, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Not sure what you mean about "inappropriate". I've explained that BBC and Reuters treat it as a separate event: [18]. Separate event, separate article. I don't see anything "inappropriate". —Moscow Connection (talk) 14:26, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

'Inappropriate' is bypassing the various discussions being had at 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine and Donetsk People's Republic about dealing with scope changes of those articles. Furthermore, 'inappropriate' is copying information from those articles and making a new one out of it. RGloucester — ☎ 14:55, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

I didn't copy information from other articles. (I've just copied a small sentence now: [19], but it was the first and after you warned for the "inappropriate article".) —Moscow Connection (talk) 15:04, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

The timeline is a simplified duplication of the timeline at Timeline of the 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine. RGloucester — ☎ 15:08, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Why? I've looked at the timeline and there's nothing there. It really looks like if someone wanted to keep it clean from anything remotely pro-Russian or anti-Maidan. (I wonder who is controlling the page if it looks like a press release of the current Ukrainian power.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:46, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

• I want to make this clear, again. We do not duplicate content that is on other pages. The timeline you are 'expanding' may not be verbatim copied, but it is information that has already been extant at other articles. That duplication isn't useful. Instead of trying to work around the system, it would be helpful if you actually discussed and contributed to the ongoing discussions at 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine and Donetsk People's Republic. Please stop the duplication of content. RGloucester — ☎ 19:11, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

  If there's some of the same content, it doesn't really matter. Also, there are no articles about the Donetsk People's Republic in the Russian and Ukrainian Wikipedias, so even if the English page gets deleted somehow, my work won't be in vain. I'm working on the article and you've already did what you wanted to do (promoted it for deletion), now please don't interfere with people contributing to Wikipedia. (Don't delete links to it, don't delete any material from it, just wait and see what other Wikipedia editors decide. And I am going to expand the article cause this is what I believe is the right thing to do.) —Moscow Connection (talk) 19:21, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

If you want to 'expand' the article' do so with content that is not found in other articles. Your creation of the Russian article, and attempts to pass it off as an extant article is not favourable to your position. RGloucester — ☎ 19:37, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

I've already said that I did not "find content" in any other articles (except one part I mentioned before). I created this article completely by myself and its scope is different from anything else. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:44, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Ukrainian names are used for places in Ukraine in English Wikipedia

I would like to say that I am only trying to create consistency within Wikipedia with this message.

In common English usage Ukrainian names are used for places in Ukraine by English language media and scholars these days (and only in case of Kiev (hence not Kyiv) and Odessa (hence not Odesa) there Russian counterparts are used). So to reflect common English usage & for consistency within 2014 East Ukraine crisis article + others in future please do not write (in English Wikipedia):

• Kharkov but write Kharkiv (to reflect common English usage & for consistency within this article + others + the Wikipedia article on Kharkiv)
• Lugansk but write Luhansk (to reflect common English usage & for consistency within this article + others + the Wikipedia article on Luhansk)
  — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 22:39, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Thank you for the explanation. (I'm not sure about Luhansk and Kharkiv reflecting common English usage, though.) (But I didn't do it on purpose, I just wrote the names and looked at the links, and they weren't red.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 17:58, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

• What? Are you intentionally lying?
  

Where is Viktor Yanukovych? (VIDEO, UPDATE)

Today's great guessing game is where ex-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych is hiding out. Border guards said they stopped his plane in Donetsk trying to leave the country on Feb. 22, but have not said anything publicly today. Member of parliament Vitali Klitschko said today that he doesn't know where Yanukovych went, nor were his whereabouts disclosed in parliament today. Amid the uncertainty, rumors have swirled, with places such as the United Arab Emirates or Russia as possible destinations abroad or, if he's still in Ukraine, somewhere in his home oblast of Donetsk, where he was the regional governor for several years.

A videotape shot at an unknown location and released to the pro-government UBR business channel for broadcast on Feb. 22 is all that Yanukovych left the public for clues.

R.I.P DYK

Now it's an inch closer to being dead. It probably wouldn't have been a better idea to have given up on the one image earlier, that would have brought it through faster and none of this would have happened. Sadly, it looks like it's slowly but surely going to finish with nothing. Though I'm looking at this in hindsight, but forcing the specific image with no room for compromise probably was unnecessary, and this was pretty much the only reason for the huge delay. --benlisquare_T•C•E 15:37, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

• @Benlisquare: You can ask for help here: "Template talk:Did you know" or ask someone who is active in the DYK project. There are many nice people. It's too early to worry, the DYK have been already ticked and I can objectively say it is okay. :)
  (Reply something to the user who voted it down so it doesn't look like he is right cause he is not. If there is indeed some unreliable source, just replace it. Anyway, fix the article a little bit basing on the user's remarks and reply to him.)
  You can also ask Sven Manguard for help. Maybe he can agree to some image and tick the proposal. (Too bad if it can't be the current image.)
  I've had much worse DYK discussions. See this: Template:Did you know nominations/Kanako Momota. :) --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:59, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Please tell me that you're not talking about the Natalia Poklonskaya DYK. I thought that I was overruled and that it was resolved ages ago. I stopped paying attention to it. Really, at this point, I don't care. Sven Manguard Wha? 22:50, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
    • @Sven Manguard: Yes, we are talking about the Natalia Poklonskaya DYK. After you commented about the picture, it was stale for weeks. (There are some people who take care of the DYK section on the main page and they don't seem to dare closing the discussion as "promoted" until the issue you raised about the picture is resolved.)
      If you don't care, it will help of you say in the discussion that you think the picture can be used. :D (If you just go to the discussion and say the current pic can be used, we will then take care of the person who voted the proposal down.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 08:16, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
      • You probably need to realise that after Sven's comment, you made it clear that you wouldn't accept any compromise for a different image, and this is probably why nobody else wants to touch the nomination, and why it's now at a deadlock. I wouldn't blame him if he doesn't want to get involved any further. --benlisquare_T•C•E 14:58, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

I'm going to be frank here, MC. If you're not going to do anything about the page, you shouldn't expect me to do anything about it. I'm already satisfied that it passed for DYK on the Chinese Wikipedia. If the wind blows and AfD happens again, or if it gets maintenance-tagged to oblivion, I'm not going to get overly concerned over it; I've got exams soon, and the last thing I want to do is spend time on this. The Russian Wikipedia has a plethora of information, and none of it is being brought over; the main beef that people have over here is that there is too little information that is not related to the internet on that page. I've probably already made it clear that I'm not someone people should rely on for looking for Russian-language sources. --benlisquare_T•C•E 14:55, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

• Echoes of another epic DYK nomination where Moscow absolutely refused to compromise on cruft inclusion until the nomination was nearly dead. -- Ohc ^¡digame! 16:20, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

  It is simply because I want a hooky hook. I want to get the maximum out of my efforts. But yes, I should have let Sven Manguard change the picture. (The DYK would have been over a long ago. It would save a lot of nerves for everyone.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:00, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

@Benlisquare:: Sorry, I just can't make myself do it. I've been wanting to, but my mind is set on something else and I can't switch... I will try to make myself do it in a couple of days, okay? (Yes, not when the editor from Kanako Momota's nomination appeared at Natalia Poklonskaya, I'm beginning to worry.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 08:59, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

You're rather disingenuous to blame me. The problematic person is the one you see in the mirror. -- Ohc ^¡digame! 16:22, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Update: You probably have already done everything yourself, though. (I mean that you have expanded the article and translated the whole Career section from the Russian Wikipedia.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:05, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Tendentious editing

Re this and this: It seems that you are edit warring and ought to consider your position carefully. Whatever doubts I had about your love of cruft have now evaporated. There is little encyclopaedic benefit in putting in more pretty pictures than is necessary to make the case. One image is quite enough, and five is simply overkill, even if the images are free. There is already a link to the commons gallery, so insisting on having them all in the article is much like placing trivia in the article. -- Ohc ^¡digame! 16:16, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Let's do it like this. I'll try to communicate with the Attorney's Office myself. (I'll just write to the email address that, as I can see, you have already found on their site.) If they don't respond in a reasonable amount of time, I'll contact (email) you and I'll translate a letter you'll prepare into Russian and you'll send it yourself.
(Yes, I can see this one. Maybe a formal-looking letter will work better than just an informal request, but you will have to send something like that yourself. I personally wouldn't want to send a formal-sounding letter cause I can't control the article and I can't garantie that it won't become something terrible tomorrow and that the people who provided the picture won't regret it. If you looked at the Ukrainian topics lately, you saw how anti-Russian they are. If the people who control the topics come to the Natalia Poklonskaya article, I won't be able to defend it. That said, if i were a Crimean Attorney's Office official, I would still provide Wikipedia with a picture of Poklonskaya cause it would be of benefit to everyone.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:30, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

Nomination of Natalia Poklonskaya for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Natalia Poklonskaya is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Natalia Poklonskaya (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Launchballer 15:59, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

• Hi Moscow Connection, I just want to check if some content I recently inserted into Natalia's article was accurate. Could you translate Слышал, недавно на вас было совершено покушение? and Пишут, что на днях на вас было совершено покушение for me? Thank you! starship.paint "YES!" 06:34, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
  • @Starship.paint:
    "Слышал, недавно на вас было совершено покушение?" = "I've heard that recently there has been an assassination attempt on you."
    "Пишут, что на днях на вас было совершено покушение." = "It has been reported that there has been an assassination attempt on you the other day." --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:52, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
    • Thanks Moscow. In terms of the Russian words, "recently" and "the other day" it suggests something that happened not long ago, like maybe a month at most? Whereas "assassination" means an attempt to kill right? starship.paint "YES!" 01:08, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
      • @Starship.paint: Yes to both questions. I would say "на днях" (I translated it as "the other day") sounds like it happened during the last few days.)
        [21] also says "Накануне на Наталью было совершено покушение." = "Yesterday there was an assassination attempt on Natalia." ("Накануне" can probably be used to mean "1–2 days ago" in colloquial speech, but strictly it means "yesterday".)
        By the way, the info can probably be used for the Do You Know hook. --Moscow Connection (talk) 01:48, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
        • Great find! I will add it into the article. I'm a bit wary of using it for DYK, because it's "reportedly" and she did not confirm it. starship.paint "YES!" 01:56, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Anna Iriyama

Moscow, I appreciate the edit summary, but I think you and I have a very different understanding of what "the news" means. For instance, I read two Dutch newspapers, the New York Times, the local US paper, and NPR on my iPhone; I watch MSNBC and CNN and occasionally Fox, and when the spirit moves me I read Time, the Frankfurter Allgemeine, and the Guardian. And the BBC website. I have been doing that for years, and I can tell you that K-pop is not often mentioned in that news. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 20:13, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

• @Drmies: Please let me expand it and then see. The thing is that I wanted to make it a proper article for some time. 1. She is in the movie Ao Oni as has been reported by multiple reliable sources in Japan. 2. I thought that if you searched Google News for her name, you will understand. Also, I have already added into the article.
  Ryulong, I will undo your redirect now. Could you please just let me try and make this a proper article? It will take a few days, but I will add the news about the movie now. --21:57, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

• To Drmies, Ryulong: There are already two bands she has been in (AKB48 and Anrire, they are independently notable cause they are separate bands and both charted in Japan), a role in a feature film (the fact that she plays in it has been reported by reliable sources), and what happened yesterday. Everything else will probably be some minor events related to AKB48. If over the next few days I add a few more paragraphs about some minor stuff and make the article look solid, could you let the article remain unredirected? I can also add a very small section about her family / personal life. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:24, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

• @Drmies: There's also now an article in a reliable source about her personally: [22]. It summarizes her career. There's enough stuff to write a proper encyclopedia article based on it. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:30, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

  The fact that she got attacked does not make her any more notable than she is as one of the other 90 replacable girls in that band.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:31, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

  If you read the edit summary, I didn't say it alone made her notable. What I meant that she was notable all along, and that it was important to have a page about her now because many people would come to Wikipedia to read about her and maybe also to copyedit/expand her article. --Moscow Connection (talk) 11:28, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

• I'm afraid that that latter is a possibility, yes. Drmies (talk) 14:17, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Zettai ryōiki

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Zettai ryōiki, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Binksternet (talk) 14:42, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

July 2014

Your recent editing history at Babymetal shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Aoidh (talk) 03:33, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

How is this "abusing templates"? I was going to block you cause you violated the 3RR rule and I had to warn you cause the rules say to warn first. I used the template for its direct purpose. (I reconsidered reporting you, though.)
Please, could you leave the info in? Since YUI and MOA mostly just shout and they aren't main vocalists and aren't officially listed as vocalists, I think it's best to just leave it the way the official site says. They shout and dance and it says "screams, dance". Wikipedia must be on the safe side in order to not make a mistake.
By the way, SilentDan297 also violated 3RR, back on June 19 when he first appeared on the article, changed it, was reverted and then made five reverts to his version in 42 minutes: 1, 2, 3, 4 , 5. Sadly, I was away at the time. So actually he was the one who started the edit warring and he should have been blocked back then. --Moscow Connection (talk) 02:41, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

By the way, that's why I unlinked "screams" from "Screaming (music)". The target article is basically about the vocal style called screaming, it's not the same as shouting cutely. (I'm just trying to keep the article correct, you see... I'm sorry if I offended you. It was just too annoying. I wrote most of the article, I was trying to keep it in a decent state and fighing like this makes me hate Wikipedia and want to go away and never return... If you change it to "vocals, vocals, vocals", I will just see that it's incorrect and will hate the article for telling lies... Sorry... Maybe I'm too emotional, but these are small things that make Wikipedia unreliable.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 02:50, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Can you help me?

Hello! ^_^ I'm expanding the article "Babymetal (album)" in my native tongue (portuguese: pt:Babymetal (álbum)) and I want to know if you can help me with a little thing. In the critiscism section of the article (BABYMETAL (アルバム), I saw you edit the article), in the professional critic box, there's the name of the authors of the critics. I'd translated with google translator the name of those authors:
安田謙一 (google translated as "Yasuda Kenichi")
宗像明将 (google translated as "Munakata AkiraSusumu" [I think this one is pretty wrong])
原田和典 (google translated as "Harada Kazunori")
南波一海 (google translated as "Nanba Ichiumi")
山村哲也 (google translated as "Tetsuya Yamamura").
Well, I want to know if you can help me with correct romanized names. Thanks in advance!! \(^u^)/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by GUROMETAL (talk • contribs) 22:46, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

@GUROMETAL: Nice! If you expand the Portuguese article with the sources, I will be happy to translate it into English. (The article needs more stuff about the individual songs on the album, like the music genre and some critical remarks. But I was too lazy to work on it. Translating is one million times easier. :))
安田謙一 — correct, Kenichi (or Ken'ichi) Yasuda
宗像明将 — Akimasa Munekata
原田和典 — correct, Kazunori Harada
南波一海 — Kazumi Namba
山村哲也 — correct, Tetsuya Yamamura
P.S. By the way, if you look at the references in the article, the names are already there. :) --Moscow Connection (talk) 03:15, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

As you know, I'm translating the article of BABYMETAL's album from Japanese to Portuguese (and I'm doing It by my phone, and It's pretty hard :P), but I stopped on the criticism section because google translator is not helping on this section and It's letting everything hard as hell.

Sorry, initially when I saw your message I wanted to help, but now I won't be able to...

I'm sorry...) --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:13, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

The reason for me reverting you is due to you not complying to the discussion on the articles talk page, apologies but you are forcing your edits onto the article without consensus of the other editors who are against your edits. Please discuss further on Talk:Babymetal before you revert my edits because so far you have done nothing but just that. SilentDan297 talk 14:19, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

@SilentDan297: You are the one who removed the "vocals, dance" and "scream, dance" positions without a consensus. It would be correct (and polite) to let the official positions stay until the discussion on the talk page is concluded with a consensus to change/remove. Now, bye.

GUROMETAL (talk) 15:13, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

That part about the members only containing vocals not screams or dance was concluded, three editors agreed, you where the only one against it so I modified the article accordingly, this is how it is done on Wikipedia. I did not do this to annoy you or to war with you but like other Wikipedians I did this because It's what I'm supposed to do, that's the point of Wikipedia. I'm sorry to hear that you have decided to quit and recommend that you remain as an editor but to listen to others more often, you don't own the Babymetal article you simply contribute to it like the rest of us. SilentDan297 talk 17:53, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Finally done!!

Finally I have done the Babymetal (álbum) expansion!! :D Thank you for your help, friend \(^u^)/

Disambiguation link notification for July 31

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Live: Legend I, D, Z Apocalypse, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Heavy metal. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Edit War

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Babymetal. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
I'm sorry but no matter what I do you do not listen to reason, you constantly show signs of WP:OWNER and you keep reverting my edits just on the basis of WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT. I find it odd that every time I make an edit you revert it, even though these edits where a first on this article for several days, your contributions list is empty apart from the last reverts you made days ago and then no edits until today, It's like no one else is allowed to contribute to this page but yourself. I will be replying to the comments you have made on the article's talk page but I wil revert your edit as I in fact do have consensus from several other editors and you have none, please refrain from reverting this edit before you yourself gains consensus as you are in fact starting up this edit war and I will be forced to report you as you do not collaborate fairly. SilentDan (talk) 13:34, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

You lied in the edit summary, and you are continuing to repeat the same edits without a consensus. I will ensure you are blocked. Good bye.
And by the way, you are not welcome on my talk page. --Moscow Connection (talk) 16:16, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you.

Hello! There is a DR/N request you may have interest in.

This message is being sent to let you know of a discussion at the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute discussion you may have participated in. Content disputes can hold up article development and make editing difficult for editors. You are not required to participate, but you are both invited and encouraged to help find a resolution. The discussion is about the topic Babymetal. Please join us to help form a consensus. Thank you! — TransporterMan (TALK) 14:27, 7 August 2014 (UTC) (DRN volunteer)

Babymetal article issues/improvements

Hi. Thanks for listing the issues that need attention at Talk:Babymetal. Itemizing them like that makes it much easier for other editors (myself included) to see what might need changing. You were doing a great job up until this point, but then subsequent edits re-introduced stuff about who reverted who, which just starts to cloud the discussion with pointless bickering again. The whole point of the discussion was to concisely outline the issues that need addressing without introducing personal or emotional stuff about other editors' actions. Could you please consider removing your subsequent comments about individual editors, so that we can all concentrate on improving the article wording and formatting? Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 03:55, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

September 2014

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine.

Speedy deletion nomination of Polina Fedorova

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Polina Fedorova, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Bazj (talk) 09:29, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

A suggestion

Next time you feel like slapping an inappropriate 3RR tag on someone's tag page in an attempt to intimidate them and win a dispute, consider not running straight to the article and reverting/edit warring yourself, immediately afterward. It's more the hypocrisy than the battleground attitude that irks me, but others here might feel differently. Volunteer Marek  04:12, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

As far as I know, placing a 3RR tag is absolutely necessary before reporting for 3RR. (I mean I want to make sure that if you revert over 3 times, I can report you for 3RR.) Correct me if I'm wrong. If it's not so, I can warn you without using the tag in the future.
And by the way, as I understand it, an edir war starts when you revert after being reverted. So it's you who started it. (You added some stuff, I didn't agree, and instead of acting according to the "bold, revert, discuss" guideline and starting a discussion, you reverted me.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 04:22, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Moscow Connection, please, provide concrete sources that show how the article is identified as anti-government rather than anti-Ukrainian or international conflict. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 19:31, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Inappropriate categorization is misleading. You presented me some wikipedia policy, yet you do not want to find a consensus, but rather throw some groundless accusations. My reverts were based on sources that I provided on the article's talk page. Yet, soon after my revert some random account undid my revert with another personal attack after which you posted edit warring template stating something about me not being nice. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 19:37, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Aleksandr Grigoryev. Why do you come to my talk page when there's already a discussion about it on the article's talk page? Please don't do something like that again. Cause it might be seen like an attempt to annoy an editor.
(I have posted about the matter on the article talk page 3 times: 1. I have started a new discussion. 2–3. When you decided to ignore my section and started a new one, okay, I also replied in your thread. (2 times). And instead of replying there, you come here....)
Now, please go away from my talk page. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:44, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

About "Doki Doki Morning" video director

I found that Shimon Tanaka (the guy who did the artwork for BABYMETAL releases) is the director of "Doki Doki Morning" music video, in the website Behance. I don't know if this is reliable, but looks like its him own profile, made and updated by himself. Here's the link.

About the move of Netherlands Public Broadcasting to Dutch Public Broadcasting

Hi Moscow Connection. I think this page move was not a good idea. Dutch is a language. The nation that broadcasts "Netherlands Public Broadcasting" is The Netherlands.

"Megitsune" on the American Billboard?

I just found It on the Billboard website, but I couldn't find any other source about It and where the song charted. I just wanted to let you know :D
GUROMETAL (talk) 15:40, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

• I will have to look into it. The image is tagged as "social" (see the HTML source), but it can't be the Billboard Social 50 cause the chart is for artists, not songs. (By the way, search Google for "Babymetal Billboard Social 50". It looks like the band has been on the chart. The fact is interesting and should be mentioned in the article somewhere.)
  P.S. I've already searched. I can't find anything about "Babymetal Megitsune 86"... Could it maybe be some minor chart?.. Cause it's surely not Hot 100. --Moscow Connection (talk) 05:10, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
  • I've never heard about this social 50 chart, but we should add It to the article :)
    GUROMETAL (talk) 12:52, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Finally I just found a reliable source about Kami-Band's first live with BABYMETAL. Here!

Natalia Poklonskaya

The very fact that you refer to it as becoming "part of Russia" shows that you have a biased point of view. Furthermore, the claim that "Crimea sought secession" is 100% POV, and is based on the assumption that people of Crimea genuinely wanted to cede from Ukraine, which is not something that has ever been proven by fact. You are the one who kept reverting my edits without reasonable explanation. Now you say that the annexation happened later, so I changed it to "during the Crimean crisis". Having the words "Crimea sought seccession" is 100% POV and is not appropriate.Impulsion 01:20, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Да, все статьи Англовики по современной Украине шиты белыми нитками и рассыпаются от капли правды, как мыльные пузыри. Ну, так без конкуренции и на этом поле ничего путного не вырастет. Что за идиоты там окопались даже без зачатков чувства юмора? По-английски я пишу, як по-русски, но думаю недреманное око тут же меня выследит. Один м-к, некто Future Perfect at Sunrise изволил запретить мне писать на эту тематику. Въ с динамическим Ай-Пи-адресом. 176.195.139.98 (talk) 10:15, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Hey, friend, BABYMETAL's "Megitsune" and "Gimme Chocolate!!" actually charted on American Billboard!! They made It into the World Digital Songs chart, but the charts can only be seen on billboard.biz website. Just search to "BABYMETAL" and you can find It. When you actually go to the chart, they only show the top 3 (the whole charts can be seen only by subscription) :D
GUROMETAL (talk) 20:00, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Good! Have you added the positions somewhere already? (Like, in the Portuguese Wiki?) Let's add them here. (I vaguely remember that the last time I visited Billboard.biz the charts search page disappeared and wasn't anywhere to be found. I guess I just didn't look for it well enough...) --Moscow Connection (talk) 08:29, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

@Moscow Connection: I've added them on the pt.wiki already :D I'll add to "Megitsune" article and on Babymetal discography section I'll add "Other charted songs", fine with It? --> GUROMETAL (talk) 19:49, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Fine! I will create a separate page for the discography now. [I will make myself do it cause I know I have to. :) You've added another table and now it definitely calls for a separate article...] --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:11, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Momoclo JAPAN

Hi. I'd like you to help develop Japanese Wikipedia. Could you please join the discussion on the note page （see 「女優としての活動」節） of Momoiro Clover Z? As there are few editors recently, any comment is appreciated. Thank you.--Anosola (talk) 12:18, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

@Anosola: Hi! Could you rewrite the lead sentence of the 3B Junior article? As far as I can see it's not a section anymore, it's now a group consisting of the junior members of the idol department of Section 3, but I don't have any sources for that... (When was it reorganized? Could you find some sources?)
And sorry for the delay. (I mean that I can see that you've replied in the Japanese Wiki, but I have not much to say but "Do as you like". :D That's probably what I should reply...)

Okay I'll try to edit the article soon. --Anosola (talk) 08:58, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

BABYMETAL links

If that's the case, will we need to re-add links to songs on the Live Legend I,D,Z Apoc. page? ^A WU ₁₉₉₆ 23:18, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

• @Awu1996: I think yes. (The other way to do it is to add notes for each songs. Like, "B-side of the single 'Megitsune'.")
  Btw I've noticed you are going to create an article for the latest DVD and therefore I'm creating an article for the live album now. :) (For the one that charted at least.) (And sorry for the revert.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:36, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Cool and crap... I already started working a bit on the live album track list. Do you need the lengths and links, because I have a decent track list for you. ^A WU ₁₉₉₆ — Preceding undated comment added 23:40, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
    • @Awu1996: I didn't see it. :) I saw the DVD, but didn't see the album and I thought that it's time for me to create it cause you or someone else is going to create it anyway. (I was too lazy to do it earlier...)
      Yes, I need them if you have them! --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:50, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
    • Have you started the Black Night as well? I haven't and I'm afraid it's too hard for me to do it right now. I searched on Oricon and it looks like it hasn't charted. If you have a couple of reliable sources that discuss it, you can create a page for it. --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:50, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

You will not believe, but "Doki Doki Morning" made It into the charts!!!

I was browsing Billboard JAPAN website, and took a look into the Top Independent Albums and Singles chart, and I found that "Doki Doki Morning" actually charted there!! Here's the link, they charted at number 80! I'm freaking happy, you can't imagine how much!! Just coming to let you know :D
GUROMETAL (talk) 18:45, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

@GUROMETAL: Great! (By the way, independent charts wouldn't be enough for "notability", but with a paragraph or two of text about the actual song and how the video was popular on YouTube, it now can certainly be defended from deletion any time! You should really add some more stuff to the Portuguese article in order to insure that it is okay.)
Anyway, I still hope Awu1996 (ping!) let me do it. I have some amount of short mentions, etc. and I was hoping to make something out of it.
If I make myself do it, I will be able to create a Russian page for the single. Now it's kinda dangerous, even major charts aren't sufficient there, in the Russian Wiki... (I want to be a reliable editor, that's why I'm so cautious. That's why there are still no articles about a couple of people born in 1999. :)))) --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:11, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

@Moscow Connection: I just noticed that Billboard JAPAN added two singles at the 80th position, making "Doki Doki Morning" the "second 80th" (81th). The chart end in 99th, with two singles in 80th, just to let you know ~again~. Btw, I'll wait 'til you en the english article to DDM to edit the portuguese one, I can't find to much sources about the song :D
GUROMETAL (talk) 19:18, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

@GUROMETAL: A second 80 is still 80. (The two releases probably sold the same amount of copies. It's just a guess, though, cause no one knows how Billboard calculates the positions. Anyway, it's still 80, not 81. [..., 76, 76, 76, 79, 80, 80, 82, ...]) --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:31, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

@GUROMETAL: It's 80, not 81. If it says "80" next to it, then it's 80. (It's like 2 first places in sports. Both are first.)
If Awu1996 doesn't reply (did I annoy her too much? :-)), I will start to work on the "Doki Doki" page on Monday and will post it by the end of the next week. But now I will wait cause she may still decide to create it. --Moscow Connection (talk) 10:41, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I just had to reply. First, I'm a guy (╥﹏╥) . Second, go ahead with the plan. My test pages are just for incomplete thoughts anyways, and I'm not exactly the best at starting up new articles.^A WU ₁₉₉₆ 22:49, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

J-pop

Hi. I have a favor of you. One user edits J-pop too radically. Could you please check the article? --Anosola (talk) 08:54, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your contribution. I'm planning to add the explanation of 「特典商法」 in the J-pop article. According to Oricon, over the half of Japanese people are against this kind of gimmick. (cf., http://www.oricon.co.jp/special/1467/) It would be better to add the fact that the sales of AKB48 or Arashi are under 「特典商法」. Could you come up with the simple explanation?--Anosola (talk) 09:42, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

I will think about it... I have no idea how I would call this particular type of bonus in English. Is there even a special word/expression for something like that?
Btw I think you should put the AKB48 photo back. There's enough space for everyone. :) --Moscow Connection (talk) 00:25, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Just to mention that cleaned up some part of my talk page, and with it the held discussion. This is my last reply about the disscusion and article because am not interested in it. I just pointed to something I perceived as fan edit. I don't see how being objective and neutral equal radical. With all your good intentions Anosola, I still do not see how one questionnaire survey, even held by Oricon, is anyway relevant with the article, actually, with wich you substantiate the removal of established information and images of other music acts to, somehow for some subjective reasons, so that the artist Momoiro Clover Z be highlihted, although by objective and relevant measures they does not. They deserve to be mentioned, there's no question to that, but not highlighted. In the article are highlighted the very few most important, relevant and successful acts by time period, and as shown for 2010s, among them Momoiro does not belong.--Crovata (talk) 10:53, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Momoiro Clover Z is not noteworthy of mention in Music of Japan article, only in J-pop.--Crovata (talk) 16:06, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

It is worthy of mentioning everywhere. I think I've already stated my position clearly.
You deleted all messages about this matter from your talk page and started attacking the editors that posted the messages on your talk page on their talk pages. I'm not going to let you do the same to me. I'm not going to reply here. --Moscow Connection (talk) 16:37, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Look, I am editing here for the sake and good of Wikipedia (and of common truth), if you do not understand how Wikipedia (or criteria) works, and stubbornly support such a view, how ridiculously I must feel about when working by Wikipedian principels and common logic is actually just a waste of time and being accused of vandalism? Editors can (mostly) do with the talk page what they want, if personally are not anymore interested in the topic, and especially if that discussion was just pointless since other editors did not get and do not want to understand and accept how Wikipedia works. Just read the WP:NPOV principles, both you and Anosola, and learn how Wikipedia and any serious Encyclopedia is written. I seems it's doubtful this month will have time to work upon the J-pop article, neither it is of my primary interest, but before I return editing it, read the NPOV principels and learn something, I seriously and friendly mean it. If you need that I cite you every x principle you're breaking promoting Momoiro Clover Z, at least that will mean something.

Actually I will; basically, in short, you are breaking "Balancing aspects", "Giving "equal validity" can create a false balance", "Balance", "Due and undue weight", "Bias in sources". If you do not get what I mean by what already said (unworthy, sales, tweets as reliable and worthy source, breaking the article pattern etc.), just what you and Anosola want?! If you want a Wikipedia by your dreams and fantasy create independent Wikipedia or fanpage.

And no, they do not deserve to be mentioned, especially not in Music of Japan, and do not revert my edit because you're breaking the principels and I will be forced to mention the case (of lack of knowledge about Wikipedia and NPOV) of you and Anosola to the administrators.--Crovata (talk) 03:47, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

You have been explained how Wikipedia works. I wasted a lot of time trying to explain things to you. Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. You either contribute constructively and respect other users or you will be blocked sooner or later. --Moscow Connection (talk) 17:58, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Wait, you explained something...? Your comment on my page... the ignorance of what I was telling all the time... No comment, really, no, this is too much... no comment. If something so obvious, illogical, and against Wikipedia principles and NPOV needs any further explanation and wasting of time from my side, then I do not want and there is no reason to do it. If you can not comprehend and accept how Wikipedia works, then please think carefully if are you eligible to be Wikipedia editor.--Crovata (talk) 19:44, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Read the warning on your talk page. It says everything. How you need to act in this situation, etc. Annoying users on their talk pages is not included as an option. (And there's no need for you to repeat the same thing again here. I understood your position. I replied. I even tried to communicate with you on Anosola's talk page. That's all. I won't repeat my words anymore.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:01, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Copyright issue on ruwiki

Someone's just told me that the Russian Wikipedia article at ru:Kantai Collection was apparently partially blanked due to a copyright complaint. Do you think you can help out a bit and paraphrase the text so that it's no longer a copyright problem? --benlisquare_T•C•E 11:19, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Okay, I will look at it later and reply. (Tomorrow, I guess.) (The problem is that I don't have any idea about the game.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 16:00, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

@Benlisquare: I'm very sorry. At the time you posted this, I was preparing a set of articles for the English Wiki and I thought that I would finish with it in several days, but I still haven't.
(An explanation is here: Talk:9nine. I actually can create pages very fast, but this time I overestimated my abilities...)
And, by the way, I looked at the official site and it said the game wasn't available in my region. Therefore I couldn't even rephrase the Gameplay section cause I had no idea about the game and I would make too many factual mistakes. I will try to rewrite the Popularity section later, but I'm not sure when. Especially since some people at Talk:9nine have already reminded me what Wikipedia is like. I'm not really sure if I should continue contributing.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 12:45, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

If you don't get along with some people here, have you considered putting most (or all) of your effort on the Russian Wikipedia, and moving there? I feel that it'd be a shame for you to withdraw completely from editing, perhaps a change of environment would be nice for you. English Wikipedia has its own community culture, and that's something that takes a bit of getting used to.

Naturally, people won't agree with one another (that's a fact of life), but on enwiki it's often percieved that editors who have more friends have more influence over things they don't like, many people from the Chinese Wikipedia often repeat this complaint when they talk about the English Wikipedia. To an outsider or long-term observer, this place looks like it has an old boy network of folks who joined in the early days and know each other very well. I mostly avoid getting into these things and try to distance myself wherever possible, but if you're just not feeling like being amongst all this, moving over to a different language Wikipedia project can help with cooling off steam if enwiki is causing you frustration.

I don't know what ruwiki is like, but I personally find that people on the Chinese Wikipedia are much more friendly, and there's less drama and cronyism. I go over there if I ever need a break from enwiki and need to unwind. Give ruwiki a go, and see if you feel better doing long-term contributions over there. --benlisquare_T•C•E 18:30, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Speaking of the tables and colours, I think ja:9nine#メンバー and zh:9nine#成員 look great, and I'd assume that the jawiki and zhwiki editors would concur since they built it that way. The appearance is neat, covers the information in an effective manner, and it keeps the reader motivated and interested. One of the prime principles of design is assessing not what information is being conveyed, but how it's conveyed to the reader; many people respond positively to visual stimuli, which makes things such as tables preferable to lists, a guy specialising in human-computer interface design (forgot his name) wrote something like 7 books about this topic. Folks on enwiki are nitpicky about things they don't like, what can you do? It's probably a cultural mismatch between the western world and everywhere else. --benlisquare_T•C•E 18:44, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your support. :) (I don't really know what I should do. Cause I truly think that Wikipedia is useless and I shouldn't bother with it anymore.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 12:48, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

If you drop out, the other guys win. It's an intimidation tactic to keep out new people with different ideas. You're fine with that? --benlisquare_T•C•E 13:01, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

I don't know. It's too hard... I probably I will have to think about it after the summer is over... Now I came to the conclusion that I should think about other things... (Especially since that unexpected discussion at "9nine" broke my plans for something and right now I wish I wouldn't come back here at all.)
(But I will now post at least some of the articles I have partially prepared, though... I don't think I will now post all 25 or so as I planned, but at least some of them...) --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:49, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of EXPG

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on EXPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. reddogsix (talk) 15:43, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Japanese word for "ryhme"

Hello there. Concerning your edits on the Babymetal article, you wrote that "...the source says it's a play on the words...". The issue I have with this is the usage of the expression "the word baby ryhmes with...". I do not speak Japanese. Could you therefore please point out to me where exactly in that trendy.nikkeibp.co.jp reference the author uses the Japanese word for rhyme, which, according to Online translation sites is 韻. If the text doesn't use the Japanese word for rhyme, then it also shouldn't appear in the Babymetal article.

I think this is the section of the reference you are referring to:
BABYMETALでは、メンバー3人のかわいらしさとメタルの激しさとのギャップ感を大切にしている。「ヘビーメタル」をもじった「BABYMETAL（ベビーメタル）」というネーミングは“お告げ”によって降りてきたものだが、“BABY”でかわいらしさ、“METAL”で激しさをわかりやすく示すことができ、また「新しいメタルが誕生する」という願いも込めて採用した。

(Please note that I use dynamic IP addresses and so the IP addresses that'll be used in replying will change regularly.)

Thank you. 77.4.145.234 (talk) 17:05, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Maybe we should ask DAJF who reworded it to say it "rhymed" (diff) if it's okay like this. Maybe he can reword it differently all over again. I personally believe that it's just an easy explanation for English speakers and I would prefer to keep it per something similar to WP:CALC cause it's obvious that "bebī" rhymes with or sounds similar to "hebī". Or per WP:IAR.
(In my version the explanation was formatted as a footnote so everyone could easily see it was unreferenced, and the wording was different [25]. But I think DAJF's version is better.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:22, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

As mentioned above, it was I that added the wording "rhymes with...". While the Nikkei Trendy article originally cited did not explicitly say the two words rhymed (it would be totally unnecessary to mention this to Japanese readers), I did feel that this was a similar situation to WP:CALC, as mentioned by Moscow Connection above, since Japanese has fixed pronunciation rules. But to avoid any accusations of introducing original research, I have added an English-language source that backs up the statement. Hopefully this clears up any concerns. Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 23:35, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Great! Thank you so much! --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:53, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Awesome. That reference from The Village Voice settled the issue. Thank you. 77.4.145.234 (talk) 00:17, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Mio Tomonaga

I appreciate that you are creating these articles, but a two-sentence article does not need 25 references, as in Mio Tomonaga. If you have that many references, please expand the article significantly. If you need help, please ask at WikiProject Japan. Thanks! ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 22:24, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

• Yes, I know. I don't really think I will need 25 references either. But I don't know what I will need or what I won't. I will browse through them and I will see what I can write. All the main events related to her are there. (Also, I hoped that someone else would notice and would expand it. Then, I would already have all the references for all the notable events ready. :))
  By the way, thank you very much for your work on the Sea Kumada article.
  (I didn't abandon the articles, I remember about them, they all are on my to-do list. It's just that if I didn't do it now, I would never will. Or, like, not in the next few months or years. Cause some of the articles I created recently had been on my to-create list for several years.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:02, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
  • I would recommend using the talk page to store unneeded references until you actually use them. That way they are easily accessible and don't create a reference section more than 10 times larger than the actual article. And, no problem on the Sea Kumada article. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 04:31, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

• Hi! Sorry for the late reply. I'm afraid I won't have time to do it. I've been thinking about creating one or two more, but not now. By the way, the problem is that there are some people who think that the fact that a single charted doesn't by itself establish its notability. I would have to write a couple of meaningful sentences with release details or even better about the actual song, like an opinion or what it's about, something. If I just create a stub, someone may come and try to delete it. The singles are old, it will be very hard to find any sources beyond chart rankings... (And actually, old charts are impossible to find online, I've tried.) (Surely, these are European releases and it's unlikely that someone may want to delete the articles about them, and you can always say: "Come on, they were really popular in Germany and it's obvious that everything the band did was discussed in teen magazines", but still...)
  Привет! Извини, что долго не отвечал, но я просто даже не особо знаю свои планы, насколько буду тут в Википедии сидеть, так что и не знал, что ответить. А весной у меня была акция под лозунгом "Я сделаю по списку то, что давно хотел сделать, а потом будет лето и не до Википедии". Тот сингл был из того, что было понятно, что это нужно и полезно, что будут читать...
  Так что я боюсь, что не смогу серьёзно заниматься этим. Может, ещё одну или две песни сделаю потом, но сейчас просто пишу другие статьи. Кстати, тут были проблемы с некоторыми участниками, кто активно продвигал идею, что места в чартах сами по себе не доказывают значимости. Так что, если хочешь действительно обезопасить статьи на будущее, нужно пару предложений связного текста про каждый из синглов найти, а искать будет сложно. Перерыть весь Гугл и не только. Да и нет ничего в онлайне, даже чартов не найти. Конечно, это не японские или корейские релизы, с которыми у меня были проблемы, а Европа, так что можно сказать: "Вы что, и так понятно, что рецензии были в подростковых журналах или т.п., так что оставьте статью." Но всё-таки... --Moscow Connection (talk) 17:04, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Good article status

Do you think Yuya Matsushita could be nominated as a good-level article? Vivexdino (talk) 09:24, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

• No. It will be more like C-level if you tidy it up. You should avoid Japanese text in the History section (maybe not completely, but now there are untranslated titles, etc.) And reformat the discography and filmography tables. Look how it's done in other articles. And there are unreferenced parts, which means it won't be even a B if it's reviewed. Read "Wikipedia:Good article criteria". And by the way, the article is not meaningful, it would be advisable to add something like opinions of his work as a singer/actor if you want to make it a good article.
  By the way, you can maybe ask DAJF to review it (I mean to assess it as C- or B [unlikely]-class, not to write a review). But not now, make proper tables first (take some American singer/actor as a reference. Like, Jennifer Lopez filmography, Jennifer Lopez discography, Madonna singles discography, Madonna albums discography, Madonna filmography. And just delete most of Japanese text from the prose, it's unreadable. --Moscow Connection (talk)
• And use the {{nihongo}} template everywhere in the discography and the filmography. All titles should be listed in English or romaji. (Followed by Japanese titles in brackets, but only for the movies that don't have articles in the English Wikipedia yet.) --Moscow Connection (talk)

Use of English word "graduate" for people leaving groups

Hi. I understand that English is not your native language, so you may want to recheck the meaning of the verb "graduate" in English at any of the following online dictionary sites.

• Dictionary.com
• Mirriam Webster
• Oxford
• Cambridge

I am well aware that Japanese texts often use sotsugyo suru for people leaving idol groups, but in English, "graduate" is used only when completing education courses. We really need to avoid using fanspeak, and instead use standard English terminology in encyclopedia articles. --DAJF (talk) 04:19, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

• I know what "graduate" means. And as far as I know, "sotsugyo suru" in Japanese has exactly the same meaning. So it's not fanspeak, but the exact Japanese term that they use. It can be understood as either "In an idol group people learn to sing and dance and they graduate when they complete the course" or they "Receive a graduation ceremony". --Moscow Connection (talk) 07:06, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Sayaka Yamamoto

Hey Moscow.

I prodded that as I did not feel it was a particularly controversial delete. Two reasons; under WP:MUSIC under Criteria for musicians and ensembles it states 'Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases'. As far as I could gather Yamamoto did not display any notability outside of the band and that photobook sells because she is a member of the group and cannot be described as a career as such. Secondly, I used Apink as a template, especially the discussions there on individual member pages on the Talk:Apink page and the AfD discussion related to that. The consensus there was that only Jung Eun-ji qualified to have her own page as she had developed her own acting career away from the band.

I did do a search on Yamamoto and that generated a lot of entries but all in relation to AKB48 and NMB48 - and a reference to a jewelry designer based in the Netherlands, which someone else entirely. So am I inclined to do an AfD about this one I'm afraid as considering the above there is no real evidence of a Yamamoto having a career outside the band. That said I'll be happy to be proven otherwise. Karst (talk) 15:37, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

• Read WP:ENT. Her photobook charted, it is a notable production, she is notable. And FYI she "has a large fan base or a significant 'cult' following", too. That's all. And I wonder why you still don't see that a person with thousand news articles about her is notable per WP:GNG. Btw. Do you know any Japanese? Cause there are thousands of news articles, she is the 6th most popular member of an insanely popular band and you said something about "a jewelry designer based in the Netherlands" who happened to pop up in your Google search.
  Btw I've just noticed that you redirected an article I created. The girl is famous, any news search in Japanese would tell you this, and you redirected her article. And you redirected it to the wrong group, too! I guess you didn't know much about the topic. I'm sorry, can't you undestand that your activity may harm Wikipedia? If you continue like this, you will delete artcles about notable Japanese people. (I'm thinking about smth else now, that's why I'm not resquing my article right away. And I know that she will release a photobook on March 30. If it charts, I wlll add one sentence about it, and voilà, no more work needed, I won't have to look for sources and expand the article just to convince you that she is very notable.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:54, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Personal attacks on Crimea talk page

To: Iryna Harpy

Cc: Tobby72, Haberstr, Moscow Connection

Iryna, your recent posting on Talk:Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation contains personal attacks on WP users Tobby72, Haberstr, and Moscow Connection. You accused these WP users of "POV pushing", "disruptive editing", and presenting arguments with "no good faith".

Wikipedia article talk pages are for constructive discussion of article content, not for accusations against individuals. Are you trying to discourage comments about content from people whose views differ from your own? If you are not trying to discourage comments, please make this clear as soon as possible, by withdrawing the personal attacks you have made. Kalidasa 777 (talk) 12:59, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Japanese idol

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Japanese idol. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. MugiMafin (talk) 18:20, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

Spinout

With the Elvis Presley films, the music is generally more important than the film, which shows in the pageviews 3444 views for the film and 12801 for the album- The primary subject would therefore be the album.

• Hi! I was writing to you at the same time: [26].
  I don't think so... I don't really think the view statistics works in this case. The album's article can be more popular for a variety of reasons. Maybe it has more incoming links. Maybe people come back again and again to look at the track list. I have no idea.
  You can use WP:RM#CM. --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:54, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Gene Simmons quote

Thank you for reverting my edit on the Kiss page... I was not intentionally changing a quote; there was a punctuation bug that made the boundaries of the quote unclear. I fixed the punctuation and left the words intact. Thanks!

Otome Shinto

The twitter is NOT listed on WikiData, the otomeshinto.com is NOT the official homepage of the subject (it works, it is a fansite). Those links all fail our inclusion standards, see WP:ELNO/WP:ELMINOFFICIAL. If I leave incorrect links, then delete them as well, don't blindly undo, I did check (I just did not notice it was a fansite). In any case, we only list one page. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 12:01, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

• Yes, it is a fan site cause the group dissolved and the address was squatted by a fan. If you could read Japanese, you would have seen it. You didn't check the links before removing them. --Moscow Connection (talk) 12:06, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Rain and Tears

Hi Moscow Connection - to explain my actions at Rain and Tears
You may be unfamiliar with the Sicilian long-term cross wiki vandal, if so, please see the summary here. There is consensus that their edits should be reverted as per Wikipedia:Revert, block, ignore - This particular IP has already been blocked, following my request.
Their vandalism is best described as "sneaky", as they start with correct edits and then start sneaking the vandalism in, once they think they have lulled people into a false sense of security. This isn't just a problem on the English Wikipedia - they also vandalize Italian Wikipedia - Arjayay (talk) 14:11, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

• Thank you very much for the explanation. No problem.
  "Their vandalism is best described as "sneaky"" — I see now... I've looked through his latest edits, and I indeed don't like this one: [29]... --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:19, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

November 2017

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to La Mer (song), please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. Categories must also be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 14:53, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

• Yes, the article it belongs to the category. I will add something about Demis Roussos's version when I have time. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:57, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

That would work for me. Thanks! DonIago (talk) 15:02, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Georges Garvarentz

I'll leave this a day while you work out what is correct, but according to the articles he is NOT a songwriter, so therefore the songwriter cat is wrong. If that is incorrect then it makes sense to move all the entries to the songwriter cat and delete the music by cat. At no point is there any help for anybody having both cats, it would be category clutter. --Richhoncho (talk) 09:41, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Names

Spasiba for your comment on my own page. Unfortunately, I will not follow your thoughts about names. I know the rules about soviet sportsmen, and I have enough knowledge about their (national, own) names. I am afraid that you'd prefer give them only Russian ones? Sergey Bubka has now a passport written Serhiy Bubka but its celebrity remains bigger as Sergey than Serhiy. Please do not post no more on my discussion page.--Enzino (talk) 22:18, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

• Why shouldn't I post on your talk page? (By the way, you should have replied there.)
  My comment on you talk page applies to Russian sportspeople as well. For example, you renamed [31] "Gennady Krysin" to "Gennadiy Krysin". When I searched Google Books, I saw his name written as "Gennady Krysin" and "Gennadi Krysin" in a couple of books, but there weren't a single "Gennadiy Krysin". You shouldn't have renamed the article. Before renaming, please always check Google Books, Sports-reference.com, Olympic.org, sports federation websites, etc. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:31, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
• I will just leave this here... [32]. --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:10, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

DYK for Valentine

I did some editing to get this closer to American-style English, as it was reading a bit like a translation. Still needs work from you. I look forward to seeing this appear on the Main page for Valentine's Day. Also, you may want to consider either archiving or deleting older parts of your Talk. David notMD (talk) 12:07, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Yes, I know I need to archive it... I will do it in due time. :-) --Moscow Connection (talk) 12:24, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

I'm very sorry. I'm frantically creating some articles in the French Wikipedia. I'm planning to be done with them tomorrow. Then I will return to the English Wikipedia. --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:13, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Tick-tock again. If you want this to run on Valentine's Day, then needs to be completed soon. David notMD (talk) 08:32, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt:, @David notMD: Do you think I should do some work on the article now? I think it has been improved already. And I haven't found any new sources anyway... And, to be honest, I'm afraid to spoil the article now.
I can ask for a copyedit at Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests‎. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:18, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

I think it's fine. If you know someone from GOCE, that never hurts, but it might be too late for a general request. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:23, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

I also think it is fine. I did some copy-editing a while back, and I feel it reads well. No spelling errors, no grammar problems, no punctuation out place. I don't know if you noticed, but I replaced a dead link to an audio with a working link to a video of MC singing the chorus - and pointing to his nose! David notMD (talk) 22:15, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

@David notMD: Thank you for all your work on the article!
Is the movie in the public domain? Cause if it isn't, then the link shouldn't be there. The video wasn't uploaded by the film studio. (I don't know if you can claim fair use, though.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 07:58, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

I do not know how to check that. My assumption was that it was old enough to be in the public domain. Perhaps Follies 1935 is not old enough? David notMD (talk) 10:37, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

• If the Russian appeal is successful? How to doing? Change to Russia at the 2018 Winter Olympics?

• I'm opposition Russia compete for neutral because if Russia use "Olympic Athletes from Russia", possible appear to "Olympic Athletes from Scotland", "Olympic Athletes from Catalonia" ... for after? The consequences are very serious. IOC possible offend to United Kingdom, Spain... because wrong behavior for Scotland independence, Catalan independence movement, even Spanish constitutional crisis or other similar incident, I worry about to very serious consequences.

• I often use Chinese, not English.

Simon 1996 (talk) 01:12, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

• I think all the appeals are from athletes who appeal their own Olympic bans. Even if they win their appeals, they will be called "Olympic Athletes from Russia".
  There's nothing we can do at the moment. I would say, let's hope for consequences. :-) Not what you listed, but something like the United States losing their control over the Olympic movement.

Kinpachi

Hi, might I suggest that per page views and "Kinpachi is" test the teacher not the album is primary topic for Kinpachi both by page views and by Gbook source hits. It's just a suggestion, but probably Kinpachi the name would be the best use of Kinpachi and then have the TV series teacher and other Kinpachi listed there. Cheers.

Russia Olympics

1. United State, China, Russia, France, Great Britain, Norway (Winter), Canada (Winter) all have not space for complete for neutral. Because Scotland, Catalonia, Basque, Corsica... want to independence, IOC possible offend to United Kingdom, Spain, France.... Those country think IOC do wrong things. I worry about to very serious consequences. Do you want to if Russia use "Olympic Athletes from Russia", possible appear to "Olympic Athletes from Scotland", "Olympic Athletes from Catalonia" ... for after? The consequences are very serious. IOC possible offend to United Kingdom, Spain... because wrong behavior for Scotland independence, Catalan independence movement, even Spanish constitutional crisis or other similar incident, I worry about to very serious consequences.

2. If Catalonia independent, when is 1992 Summer Olympics host nation?

3. Do you feel "Olympic Athletes from Russia" as "Catalonia is not Spain" or "Corsica is not france"?

4. European Union flag is Russian neutral flag, not Olympics flag.

No, the title of the article is not written in English. It is a romanization of the original Japanese title. If it is your only complaint, you should remove the speedy deletion template and read the rules, namely Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English): "Names not originally in a Latin alphabet, as with Greek, Chinese or Russian, must be transliterated into characters generally intelligible to literate speakers of English."

Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. —SerialNumber54129 ^{paranoia /cheap sh*t room} 10:43, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Apologies

I had absolutely no intention of clicking the rollback button here. I accidentally clicked it while navigating off your page. You are correct in this instance, and I was wrong. 13:37, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

• Okay. No problem. --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:40, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
• @ScrapIronIV: Thank you very much you for the explanation. I was really confused about what was happening on my talk page. --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:44, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

revert on falco discography

Hello, you reverted my edits on the Falco discography and I wanted to ask you why? Your reason was: "Revert. It was better and more complete before.", but it wasn't. As far as I know only ten countries should be used in the english wikipedia. I wasn't finished with the discography and I just wanted to change the look to the other discographys.--Lirim.Z (talk) 22:52, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

• "10" is a recommendation, not a strict rule. And I didn't like your choice of countries. And for some reason you only left 8 or so countries in the albums section. And i was alarmed by the fact that a bot had to rescue orphaned references after what you did. --Moscow Connection (talk) 11:37, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
  • I saw you reverted your own revert. So if I use: AUT, GER, SWI, UK, USA, FRA, NLD, DEN, FIN and SWE for the singles, because he had the most chart positions in those countries and he was really sucessful in europe?--Lirim.Z (talk) 12:33, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
    • I don't think it was a good idea. I will have to think about it...
      I would remove some columns that were unsourced and/or doubtful. The USSR, France cause the current chart was launched towards the end of 1984 and I have no idea where the earlier data are from, Australia and Italy for more or less the same reason, Japan as unsourced (very interesting, but I don't know how it can be sourced), South Africa. Actually, that's all, I wouldn't remove any more. That leaves 13 countries. And I think it is common to put the US first and the UK last. (No, on the second thought, in this case Austria, Germany and Switzerland should stay first. But the UK and the US should be prominently put last.)
      And I would add back the two columns that were removed from the albums table. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:02, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
      • So I'm going to revert your revert, because I already made all the singles in the proper style. I'm just going to change the chart, check the links and add the proper positions. i checked Oricon and he didn't chart in Japan at all. [34]--Lirim.Z (talk) 20:20, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
        • No, I don't agree. If you revert my revert, add the countries that you removed back. (The ones that I didn't mention above.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:31, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
        • @Lirim.Z: He surely charted in Japan. The problem is that the data on the Oricon website only goes back to 2005. AFAIK, the earlier data are available by subscription. You can try asking at WikiProject Japan, it is possible someone can find the data somehow (unlikely, though). --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:34, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
          • by ex. the list List of Oricon number-one singles of 1985 doesn't list "Rock me Amadeus" as a number one hit. The source they use neither. [35] I won't include Japan for know, but we can look later about this issue. I already started adding the countries and cheking the positions.--Lirim.Z (talk) 20:39, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
            • Okay. Thank you. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:45, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
        • (edit conflict) Actually, I would say that it doesn't look that likely that "Der Kommissar" and "Body Next to Body" could reach number one in Japan. Maybe the data are for the International Singles Chart or something like that. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:41, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
          • It's extremely hard for non-japanese artist to chart in Japan, because the charts are solely based on physical albums and most record labels don't want to release cds there. btw. I'm already half way through the list.--Lirim.Z (talk) 20:49, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
            • Falco never charted in Denmark, Im going to remove it.--Lirim.Z (talk) 20:54, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
              • Okay, remove it.
                I wouldn't really say "never charted", it can just be that the current chart (the chart that the website uses) was launched later. But sure, remove everything that isn't sourced. --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:00, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
                • I used danishcharts.com and finnishcharts.com/ (didn't chart in Finland either) These are chart archives by Hung Medien. They are official archives who list everything, because most chartwebsites don't list everything, but they do.--Lirim.Z (talk) 21:04, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
                  • I think the Danish chart the website uses was launched by Nielsen Media in the 90s. --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:07, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
                  • Yes, I was right, look: "Hitlisten". --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:09, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
                  • Okay, okay, remove everything that isn't there. --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:10, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
                    • I finished the singles. certifications need to be done. I am going to do proper referencing and i'll add two more colums for the albums.
                      • Okay, thank you.
                        It's very strange that "Rock Me Amadeus" didn't chart in France. By the way, there was another version released in the Netherlands in 1986: [36]. You can add it to the table. --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:38, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
                        • I couldn't find a tenth country where his studio albums did chart, but all the positions and links are now correct.--Lirim.Z (talk) 22:01, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
                          • In Ireland ([37]), in Canada (see "Rock Me Amadeus"). --Moscow Connection (talk)
                          • @Lirim.Z: You made some mistakes: [38]. (And I didn't check everything. You should carefully compare the tables before and after.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 05:01, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
                            • The problem is that the old table had mistakes, so I checked everything. The thing with canada is that you need to search through the archives and I only found sources for Falco 3 and "Rock me Amadeus". I currently have no idea where the position for "Der Kommissar" and "Vienna Caling" are coming from. The articles for the songs are not naming any sources either. I am going to check the archives again, maybe I'll find something.--Lirim.Z (talk) 09:12, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
                              • @Lirim.Z: But I have found the missing sources for Canada and added them yesterday already.
                                Look at the diff. Apart from Canada, there were the following mistakes:
                                1. some UK positions were in the NZ column;
                                2. some NZ positions were in the IRL column.
                                Some columns got shuffled around. --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:13, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
                                • Yeah okay, it's because I added the ire and can columns after the rest. I added some notes to other peaks. The single section should be alright now.--Lirim.Z (talk) 13:57, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
                                  • @Lirim.Z: More mistakes: [39].
                                    There are three mistakes: you moved a US position to the UK column, you deleted the correct Canadian position for Einzelshcaft, and it's RPM (magazine), not Music Canada.
                                    And I didn't check everything, just the US and Canada cause they didn't look right. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:31, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Allcaps in references

I noticed your reversion of my edit to two articles about Babymetal, which were mainly to convert allcaps to title case in citations. You said that MOS:CAPS is about Wikipedia articles, not about references, and that the original article titles should never be changed.

That is not correct. Please see more specifically Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Capital_letters#All_caps_and_small_caps. The first bullet of this section is about newspaper headlines and specifically mentions citations, which is where newspaper headlines are usually found in Wikipedia. Citations are also mentioned in one of the later bullet points in this section of the Manual of Style. Furthermore, the allcaps 'BABYMETAL' is merely the stylized form of Babymetal, as stated in the first sentence on that Wikipedia page. Wikipedia should not be using standard English lettering whenever possible, not promoting any entity with their own style lettering, whether in the body of an article or elsewhere.

I agree that typos in references should not be changed because search functions may not be able to find citations if one is searching for an original title, but fixing allcaps doesn't cause that problem.

I've spent many hours reducing allcaps in articles that I have usually landed on when searching for typographical errors as part of the Wikipedia Typo Team. Wrestling and certain types of entertainment articles (I guess those are the same thing, in a way) are frequent offenders, but so are 'regular' newspaper articles such as from the New York Times. As mentioned in the Wikipedia Manual of Style, these headlines are often imported in allcaps but should get reduced to sentence or title case in almost every instance. (And I don't believe anybody has ever reverted any of my edits because of ALLCAPS.) Please reconsider your reversions on these pages - allcaps is just yelling.

Thanks.

Ira

Ira Leviton (talk) 21:32, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

• 1. The rule you linked says, "Reduce newspaper headlines and other titles from all caps to title case:" The titles weren't in all caps, only the name of the band was capitalized. 2. The rule you linked says "when they have only a stylistic function". They don't have only the stylistic function here, it is the actual name of the band, it is not "merely a stylized form of Babymetal" as you say. 2. Most of the newspaper headlines you changed weren't in English, the rule you linked doesn't say anything about Japanese text. 3. You can ask at Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan. --Moscow Connection (talk) 00:05, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Artcile on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%87a_va_pas_changer_le_monde edited by Moscow Connection appears to be wrong.

It lists Joe Dassin and somebody else as composers whereas the song appears to be, at least partially, both melody and style wise a cover of a previous year hit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Melody_of_Love which in itself was a cover of another song (and mentions it). Somebody should correct it, but to what extent (whether or not Dassin paid for the writes and wrote some of his own stuff or not I don't know) I am not sure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vkulesho (talk • contribs) 20:04, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

Soviet Aviation Task Force invitation

Hi! I just found you on Wikipedia and noticed you are fluent in both English in Russian. Would you please consider writing some of the articles from Russian version translation on our missing list? Many articles there are well above and beyond notability requirements, such as major plane crashes and some of the more famous Heroes of the Soviet Union. We also have a lot of stubs that are in desperate need of expansion. I really hope you can help with our translation backlog, these are on very notable topics that deserve more coverage. Based on your username, is there any chance you would be able to get a few photos of an Aeroflot Antonov An-10 and Aeroflot Ilyushin Il-18B (they're in museums, not in service) and upload them to Commons? Thank you so much, we would be very appreciative of a native Russian speaker in our task force.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 01:00, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Crown Pop

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Crown Pop, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group

Hi. Could you please give me a reason for removing my edits on the article of Anatoly Shariy. The Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group is a respected organization which is relevant enough to have an own Wikipedia article. An "awful" looking website is not a reason for removing information. The article that I have used as reference contains no controversial or disputed information. Every media sources ([40] [41]) agree that Shariy was charged because of the McDonalds incident. Shariy never denied this information.--KastusK (talk) 20:08, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

• I've never heard of it and can't judge how respected it is but they used this as the only source. (Ukrainska Pravda is basically a Ukrainian propaganda website.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:08, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
• Okay, I can see now that there are multiple sources. But one of your sources says:
  

  Shariy said that the incident at McDonald's was no coincidence, because earlier he began investigating the subject of illegal drug trade that "was covered, speaking directly, led, by the Interior Ministry." According to the journalist, the police conducted their investigation into the shooting at McDonalds in four days, trumped up a criminal case against him under Part 4, Article 296 of the Criminal Code (hooliganism committed with a firearm) and sent it to the courts.

• Why didn't you write anything about that? --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:17, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

You can add this information to the article if you want. However it does not make my edits less valid. Wikipedia allows to use Ukrainska Pravda as a source. About a thousand Wikipedia articles have references to this medium. The article on Anatoly Shariy even used the same article of the Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group as a reference in its introduction. I have restored the information.--KastusK (talk) 22:13, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

• Okay, I'll add the quote now. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:14, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Frances & Aiko

I noticed you renamed Frances & Aiko, but the group debuted only in Taiwan only under the name 大小姐 and their URL is lists the translation "Big Small Sister." Chinese groups, unlike Japanese, usually have their names translated instead of keeping it Romanized.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Songs with lyrics by Eddy Marnay

A tag has been placed on Category:Songs with lyrics by Eddy Marnay requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Category:Songs with lyrics by Eddy Marnay;

I have no problem with the creation of this category IF he only contributed lyrics, but if he has contributed any music then he is a songwriter, then that should be the only category. Or are you suggesting there should be 2 or more cats for effectively the same thing? --Richhoncho (talk) 18:32, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

• I don't know, are there any precedents of multiple categories for songs written/composed by the same person? As far as I understand, he wrote almost exclusively lyrics, although there are a few examples to the contrary ([42]). --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:47, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

There are plenty of examples where lyricists are listed under songwriters because the contribution is fluid, especially amongst bands. My point is there is no point in having 2 cats, if 'songwriter' is incorrect I am OK with that. --Richhoncho (talk) 19:04, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

I don't know which is the right way to do these things. All I can say that the French Wikipedia calls Eddy Marnay a lyricist. And I've just scrolled through it, the article talks about his many collaborations with famous composers but it doesn't mention any music by him. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:23, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

I would say let's just leave both categories as they are. I think that sooner or later all but a couple of his songs will be moved to the lyrics-only category. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:04, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

No. Either/Or. Two categories is misleading. By all means if he is ONLY a lyricist then my objection is not to move everying this. BTW Have you see Category:Songs written by Kumi Koda and there are others. --Richhoncho (talk) 20:07, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

In this case I think it's better to soft-redirect the "written by" category to the "with lyrics by" one and to move all the articles there. A relevant example is Category:Songs written by Duke Ellington. Ellington did in fact write some lyrics, but he is still primarily a composer. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:23, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

If he only wrote lyrics, I can agree with you. If he contributed music, then that is not a solution. --Richhoncho (talk) 20:47, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

If Marnay wrote over four thousand lyrics and one complete song (with both music and lyrics), which category is more precise and more useful? --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:08, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Sorry my Russian isn't up to that. Isn't the whole point that a songwriter can write either words or music? FWIW, I created many of the lyricist cats... --Richhoncho (talk) 22:08, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Do as you wish (you can redirect the "with lyrics by" category), but I still think my category is more precise and will ultimately be more useful. (It already is.)
Sorry, I have just one hour and a half left to nominate an article I've created for DYK, so I won't be able to continue this discussion today. I'll be back tomorrow, though. (Just redirect my category if you really think it's better like that.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:35, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

I have redirected the lyrics cat. In my searches I always found Eddy mentioned as a songwriter, not as a lyricist, according to ASCAP, he also wrote at least one song with Norman Gimbel, who is a lyricist. --Richhoncho (talk) 10:13, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor.

Speedy deletion nomination of Angie Gold

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Angie Gold requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Angelina (French singer)

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Angelina (French singer) has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

This article is grossly over cited. Only one reputable source is required when a fact is added to an article. Some facts here are supported by six or more citations! This is completely unnecessary and makes editing the article a chore. Also, since the article is tagged with a dmy date format tag, dates in the citation should also appear in the same format. I would suggest that you work your way through the article and remove the excess citations leaving only the most reputable.

Best of luck with the DYK.

Using Template:Start date outside infoboxes

Hi. Perhaps you still do this or have done it elsewhere, I'm not sure, but I have recently noticed that years ago, you started a number of Japanese artists' articles and in the discography section wikitables, used Template:Start date to format the date. The template's documentation explicitly states it should never be used outside templates that emit microformats, which it was built for. This means it should not be used in wikitables, but only really infoboxes, so please just type the date out if you make these tables in future. Thanks. Ss112 03:58, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Les Frangines

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Les Frangines has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

I would suggest that the DYK text should read "that both members of Les Frangines learned to play guitar by watching online video lessons?"

Regards,

Twofingered Typist (talk) 15:24, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

• @Twofingered Typist: Thank you so much! I've now changed it to your version. But someone may revert. Cause I've noticed it long ago that most members of the DYK project like to preface people's names with descriptors such as "Spanish singer", "French singer", "Japanese band", "French musical duo".
  A recent example:
  • ... that the performance of French singer Angelina (pictured) at the 2018 Junior Eurovision Song Contest marked France's return to the competition after 14 years?
   :-) --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:57, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Moscow Connection: well :French group Les Frangines" would be fine. My concern was that "guitar" has to be single and "both" of them learned to play. Twofingered Typist (talk) 17:41, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Twofingered Typist: I changed the hook back a bit: [43].
Should it be "the guitar" or just "guitar"? Cwmhiraeth wrote "guitars", and Ravenpuff changed it to "the guitar". (I think it's good either way, but "guitar" sounds much better. But I'm not a native speaker, so I can't be 100% sure.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 17:59, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Moscow Connection: I agree - "guitar" sounds better but either way is fine. Twofingered Typist (talk) 18:05, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Moscow Connection and Twofingered Typist: I'd argue that we normally use "the" when talking about playing musical instruments – i.e. "play the guitar" is preferred over "play guitar" (which incidentally makes it sound a little like a game or sport). This ngram chart of "play the guitar" vs "play guitar" shows that the former is consistently more common. This convention is even more emphasised when comparing "play the piano" vs "play piano". I don't mind either way about providing a brief descriptor in the hook, as the context already makes it clear that they're musicians, but a little more detail usually isn't undesirable. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 18:37, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Moscow Connection and Ravenpuff: play "the" is fine with me. Twofingered Typist (talk) 18:48, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Twofingered Typist and Ravenpuff: I added "the" back. As for the "French musical duo" part, it sounds okay to me. (It's just that I'm still a little bit upset about that Angelina hook that repeated "French", "France". :-)) --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:54, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Anatoly Shariy

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Anatoly Shariy ; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 17:43, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

2. As I've already told you, if you want to make the article compliant with BLP, you should start by deleting material which is potentially libellous. There's nothing even remotely potentially libellous in the section you deleted. Actually, it's the only positive material in the whole article.
3. I've already replied to you elsewhere, so please stop attacking me on my talk page. --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:11, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure I understand. Relative quality within an article is irrelevant. WP:OSE.

There are no attacks here that I'm aware, but am happy to refactor or remove anything that is. Please identify it. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 18:54, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Please identify it.
— The whole controversy section. It is sourced almost exclusively from Ukrainian media, those that are interested in discrediting any opposition to the current Ukrainian government. UNIAN, 24TV, Ukrainska Pravda, Obozrevatel and such. And I haven't really read much of the article, but I can already see at least one blog used. And some site called mediananny.com, for example.
Could you please not post to my talk page anymore? I really feel uncomfortable, like I'm being harrassed or something. I joined the discussion on the talk page immediately, yet you continued to attack me here. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:20, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Help

Hi. Created an article - Draft:Dmitry Borisovich Volkov. During the review, I was made a comment about the style of advertising. It is difficult for me to correct the article, as I do not know English well. On the forum, I was advised to contact a participant who knows Russian and English well. I really ask for your help in adjusting the advertising style of the article. You are the last chance to help. I will be very grateful to you !!! Thank you very much. 95.153.128.35 (talk) 06:10, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

• Hi! I'm very sorry, but I'm not good at encyclopedic prose myself. And the article is rather long, it would take too much time even to read it. (Sorry, I've got plans of my own and I'm trying to make myself continue with them, so it just won't be wise from my part to distract myself and work on your article.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 17:35, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

November 2020

Please note that your recent behavior against me is not really fair and constructive. We currently have an ongoing discussion that you have started yourself, to which I wrote a very detailed comment. Instead of adequately replying to it, you've said that you "don't have time to read this", yet you proceeded to revert my edits with summaries saying that I'm "disrupting Wikipedia" ([1], [2]). Don't you think it's already a bit unfair and uncivil?

Furthermore, you have flooded my talk page with {{uw-3rr}} which doesn't seem appropriate at all. You know very well that I've never been anywhere near violating the 3RR, and if it wasn't for WP:Don't template the regulars, you might have received {{uw-tempabuse1}} in return.

Worse yet, you continue your move war against my essay and you cast aspersions on me. Especially this: "I don't think it is a wise idea to waste much time on this. Cause the user seems to be very uncooperative." is clearly a personal attack. Note that any issues that I might have had in ruwiki (that I don't edit for almost two years now) have nothing to do with enwiki (where I always have been in a perfectly good standing, ever since July 2012).

Slow down please, and resort to a fair and civil discussion. — Mike Novikoff 21:30, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

• 1. You continued to remove stress marks before I had a chance to reply. Yes, I think that was disruptive. 2. The message in that template is more universal. You don't have to violate 3RR to be edit warring. But I'll rename the section to "Edit warring" if you wish. (I'll do it now.) 2. I've told you several times already that if you want something changed you need to start a wider discussion. Your talk page isn't the right place to discuss the matter. --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:47, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

Stresses in Russian

Hello, Mike_Novikoff keeps removing stresses in Russian names. What is worse, he is referring to his essay as if it were an established rule or something. Read here. I believe this is a very dishonest behavior. Could you please do something about it? Thanks. Taurus Littrow (talk) 19:59, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi again. I don't intend to rewrite Novikoff's essay since that would be a colossal task, as I pointed out on the essay's talk page. It would be easier just to delete it altogether. Besides, I'm really tired of this "war", so I don't want to invest too much time into it. Best regards. Taurus Littrow (talk) 14:01, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Oh well, I finally found time to rewrite Novikov's essay. Have a look and let me know what you think. You can comment on the essay's talk page. – Taurus Littrow (talk) 16:35, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

• @Taurus Littrow: Good job, I like it! Actually, I would say that "it is often impossible to determine the correct stress placement even for a native speaker (especially in place names and in last names other than the common ones)". This would be more exact. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:33, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Valentina (singer)

Hi Moscow Connection; I noticed while fixing a broken reference that two of the sources, 17 and 18, appear to be identical so it might be best to use only one of them. While I'm here, your talk page is rather long and should be archived so editors don't need to scroll down so far to leave messages; it also takes far too long for all of that text to load on slow connections (not to mention images). I see several requests for you to do this, one dating back to 2012, and I asked in December 2019! Cheers and good luck with the article, Baffle☿gab 06:05, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

The only talk page visible from space :-)

I suggest you archiving your talk page. — Taurus Littrow (talk) 07:51, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguated titles

You don't need to create every article on an Elvis song with a disambiguated title, such as you did with The Sound of Your Cry (Elvis Presley song). The base title is The Sound of Your Cry and there is no other article on Wikipedia using that title, it is just a redirect to an Elvis album. Always try the base title first, and if that's unavailable use "(song)" as the disambiguator if there is no other song with that title. If there are multiple songs with the same title, then use "(Elvis Presley song)". Thanks. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 19:47, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

Watch for capitalization issues as well. You didn't need to create an article at They Remind Me Too Much Of You when the proper title already existed as a redirect at They Remind Me Too Much of You. Thanks again. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 20:08, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

@Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars: Yes, okay, I will rename the articles later. I just wanted to create them fast. (I had drafts for 20 or so articles on Elvis Presley songs since at least 2019. And then yesterday I saw a new user who started creating some of the articles I wanted to create. So I decided I'd better create them myself and fast.)
Actually, I found my drafts just a week or two ago and had them ready and waiting, but planned to take on Elvis Presley songs after I finished with Johnny Cash. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:22, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I've already put in histmerge and move requests for all the ones I could find. Hopefully, you can expand on some of these to say more than it charted in Belgium. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 20:27, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

@Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars: Thank you! That would be much appreciated! I'll work on the articles too, I didn't plan to leave them like that.
Actually, I'm now looking at my drafts folder and I understand that I didn't create these articles back in 2017–2019 because I didn't want to expand them from redirects. And that's why I named my drafts like this. :-) Not all of them, but some including "Indescribably Blue" and "One Broken Heart for Sale" the other user created yesterday already existed as redirects. By the way, he probably thought the same as me. Cause he also created the articles under a different name. --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:17, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

@Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars: I don't think a histmerge is needed here [44]. The new page doesn't borrow anything from the old one. --Moscow Connection (talk) 00:22, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

I rewrote the lead [45]. (I don't think "... is a song by" is a copyrighted expression and any similarity was purely coincidental.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 00:27, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

@Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars: I've added a note to my move request [46]. And I will now rewrite the two remaining articles and submit move requests for them two. --Moscow Connection (talk) 00:48, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

By the way, it has happened many times to me already that I wanted to create an article and there was a redirect and I decided not to proceed. But then some other person created the article elsewhere and asked to move it to that place. :-) "Metal Resistance" is one of the examples. I'm not sure what is the correct procedure in these cases. --Moscow Connection (talk) 01:00, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

I will request to move the other two pages a bit later, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Now I'd better just add track listings everywhere. --Moscow Connection (talk) 02:13, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Please do good work on the encyclopedia, not fast work. You get no bonus points for being the page creator. Rushing to create incomplete and mis-titled articles because you're worried someone else might create them is not recommended behavior. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:34, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

• I'm working on it. Don't worry. I created maybe 50 or 80 or even close to 100 Elvis Presley articles three years ago, so 25 more is not a big deal. I'll need a week or so. --Moscow Connection (talk) 04:39, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
  • I'm happy to give you a week to de-stubify these creations; generally any song that hits the Top 100 charts can be expanded to an article. I'm not happy that you appear to be creating articles at incorrect titles just so you can show up as the first editor. Every source I find says "I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone" is the title (despite the lyrics going the other way), as do both of your sources (yes, the Billboard magazine reference has it both ways on different pages). power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:46, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
    • The titles aren't incorrect. Only this one. (Yes, it definitely looks like it is incorrect.) I will request to rename the article right now, if you wish. (Maybe five or so have "Elvis Presley song" added unnecessary, that's all.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 04:56, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
    • I'm completely confused [47], to be honest. But anyway, I created the articles I wanted to create 3 or 4 years ago, so I will work on them. Sorry for the inconvenience. --Moscow Connection (talk) 04:59, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Some of the redirects had useful categories, e.g. the writer, that you didn't use on the article. The targets also referred to the song, but you didn't create a wikilink from the redirect target to the new article. Remember to pay attention to such details. Fences&Windows 21:39, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't look at the redirects when I was creating the articles. (Yes, now I'm starting to remember how some years ago I saw a number of redirects created by Dr. Blofeld and didn't know what to do.)
As I've said, on February 8 I noticed that a user started mass-creating articles that I wanted to create since a long time. (And he didn't even do a good job, see Draft:He Walks Beside Me.) I understood it was my last chance, cause he would create everything I wanted and the result would be worse that mine would have been. So I took my old drafts folder and started creating everything there was and even more. (There were many subfolders with text files and sources and Wikipedia shortcuts like "Creating [page name]".)
Anyway, sorry for the inconvenience. I'll add the writer categories everywhere. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:06, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

By the way, I don't remember seeing the official Elvis website back in 2016–2019. There are now pages for all Elvis' singles on the website, so it will be much easier for me to create Wikipedia pages on them. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:11, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Again, what's the rush? Why not just improve the articles the other editor ends up creating? This is not a race. Also, an official website isn't a reliable source for establishing notability. Thanks. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 00:56, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

I've placed all the articles into songwriter categories where available. And I have created some new categories, too. --Moscow Connection (talk) 01:04, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Kawaii metal

The article Kawaii metal has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not a credible genre of music with enough history or actual usage of the term within artists. As far as I'm aware, Babymetal is the only artist who have actively used the term. If being a metal band with pop vocals is enough to be "kawaii metal", why don't we start slapping the term on bands like Nightwish? The insistence that "kawaii metal" is a credible genre of music with a history of artists actually using and embracing the term is laughable; it's literally only been Babymetal and western journalists gassing them up who have used the term frankly almost a decade ago. It's straight up just not a thing in Japan where this "scene" is alleged to be taking place and if anything, this page should be replaced or renamed to "alt-idol" or "chika idol", which are actual terms in Japan used to describe idols who blend edgy rock/metal aesthetics with being idols. When more artists start using the term rather than just journalists, then I'll stop nominating this page for deletion. Until then it's just glorified orientalism and fetishization. About as credible as anime nerds thinking that Japan is some kind of apolitical anime wonderland. Grow up.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 09:00, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Your indention by an asterisk/bullet

Hi Moscow Connection,

in your answer to Talk:1% (song) #Where are the lyrics? You indented your answer with an asterisk (*).
Is this (just) individual style?
Because: (of course you know) the usual way is: to use a colon (:).

Ping welcome, Steue (talk) 06:27, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Is this (just) individual style?
– I don't know if this can count as an "individual style". It's just that I've probably never read the "rules for formatting your replies" (or whatever they are called). And no one has ever complained before. (AFAIR, on the French Wiki you have to use a colon cause if you use an asterisk it won't look the same, but here on the Enwiki the difference is imperceptible to me.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 10:59, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Now, when I think of it... I like it more with a bullet... --Moscow Connection (talk) 11:00, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Congrats !! - You just passed 444 topics in your ToC

From a living user -- not a bot.

Hi Moscow Connection,

(I'm not complaining, this is just an idea/suggestion.)

On your Talk page I wanted to know/see how many topics there are.

When I scrolled down the content table of your Talk page, I had to scroll down quite a while. You just passed 444. Respect! (I have heard, the Russians love such numbers.)

But after a while I thought: It would be nice to have a button/link, named something like:
[ To the bottom of the Table of Content ].

And if you wanted to "put the dot on the i" (meaning: top this) this button/link would be visible always (within the ToC), no matter which section is visible currently (like the header band of some normal tables).

My first idea was: An anchor at the bottom of and within the ToC (but this could be tricky).
My second idea: An anchor before the first actual header (this would be no technical challenge).
My last idea: I could just click into the top most line in the ToC, and when the text is made visible, scroll up a few lines.
But this only is possible if the top of the ToC is already visible.

I also tried [Ctrl]+[End] (with the "writing position indicator" in the ToC ) but it led to the bottom of the whole page.

Or, maybe, a counter for the number of topics -- if this is possible technically.
This way such a question like mine would be answered without any scrolling.

On the other hand:
When I loaded my first topic up to your Talk page, this took much more time than loading my edits up to any other page (of any wikipedia). And this was so with every action which the wiki software had to do with your page, like:

• waiting for the page to open, after I clicked on [ New section ],
• preview and
• loading my edit up and waiting for the indication that it got done.

I guess this is due to the impressive number of topics.
I think, now I understand, why some owners use an archive.

‪Moscow Connection‬ thanked you for your edit on ‪Born to Lose (Ted Daffan song)‬

You're welcome, I wanted to thank you in turn for starting the page! Thank God I spotted it at the perfect time. I was sitting on Ted Daffan and 1943 in country music material that I had researched and written in segments. I re-wrote the 1943 page and "Pistol Packin' Mama", and was looking to use my other material when your page came along! I saw " I can't think of a better wording" and "under construction", and I thought, "This is perfect!"

The Touch of Your Lips (disambiguation)

Hi Moscow Connection - according to MOS:DAB#Page naming, disambiguation page titles should be the ambiguous term, unless there is a primary topic. I was going to move Touch of Your Lips (disambiguation) to Touch of Your Lips, however, since all of the titles are "The Touch of Your Lips", another option would be to move the DAB page to The Touch of Your Lips (disambiguation) with The Touch of Your Lips as the primary topic. Any objections? Leschnei (talk) 14:34, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

• @Leschnei: I think the song is the primary topic, so it sholld stay at "The Touch of Your Lips". As for disambiguation page, I've just moved it to "The Touch of Your Lips (disambiguation)". Is everything okay now? --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:07, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

Bim bam toi

I'm really not sure what you are trying to do with Bim bam toi. In my edit (please examine the page) I used the template with the ^‡ footnote, which reads, very clearly "Sales+streaming figures based on certification alone". It does not signify sales, it signifies a mixture of sales and streaming. You reverted with the summary the song didn't sell 100 thousand, which of course it didn't and that's not what the template is saying. Perhaps you are not aware of the fact that the {{Certification Table Entry}} template is used with the ^‡ footnote in 17663 pages. It is the result of a very long lasting (12 years now) consensus and effort to standardize record certifications, which you are working against. --Muhandes (talk) 09:37, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

• But the footnote in your version clearly stated "100,000". And that was certainly misleading. (I think this template just doesn't work right in this case. So maybe a manually-created table would be better. And, by the way, AFAIK, the gold certification is now given to a single that sold 50,000 and not 100,000 copies.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 09:47, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

The number 100,000 is very obviously in equivalent units, in exactly the same way it is listed in the other 17663 pages which are using the ^‡ footnote and equivalent units. This is the result of 12 years of discussions and consensus, and the way the community has chosen to work. If you think the template could be improved, start discussion at Template talk:Certification Table Entry. Don't go against consensus. --Muhandes (talk) 10:09, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I don't have so much time so as to go through lengthy discussions on the template talk page. I simply think the template doesn't work right in that particular case, so I removed the sales figure and the footnotes from that paricular article. It's not a big deal, is it? --Moscow Connection (talk) 10:36, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

• @Muhandes: See this edit to the French Wikipedia article: [49]. I don't have a source for that number of streams, but maybe Idolico has. (Btw, the official video alone has 108 million views on YT.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 09:55, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

I don't speak French, and frankly, I don't care much how the French Wikipedia community chooses to work. The English Wikipedia, and specifically the people involved with record charts, choose to display equivalent units, except for some certifications where streams are used exclusively. I'm not saying the template is perfect, and for sure there is place for improvements - you are very welcome to make suggestions about improving the template at Template talk:Certification Table Entry. --Muhandes (talk) 10:13, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Actually, Idolico is right. See this page on the SNEP website. It says that the gold certification is given for 15 million equivalent streams (150 streams equal 1 sale). --Moscow Connection (talk) 10:36, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

@Muhandes: Okay, who cares, I've reverted to your version. --Moscow Connection (talk) 11:56, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. By the way, 15 million streams at "150 streams equal 1 sale" comes out 100,000 equivalent sales, which is exactly what the template outputs. If you can think of a way to make the footnote clearer, you are welcome at Template talk:Certification Table Entry. --Muhandes (talk) 15:09, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

"By the way, 15 million streams at "150 streams equal 1 sale" comes out 100,000 equivalent sales, which is exactly what the template outputs.
— Yes, that's why I decided that it would be okay to revert to your version. :-)
"If you can think of a way to make the footnote clearer."
— I'll try to think about it later. --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:22, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
