Perhaps start over

I plan on working on articles within the topic of Lady Gaga, and improving their quality. Perhaps we might be able to start over regarding the unfortunate recent nature of the tone of our discussions. I would love to collaborate in a positive, kind and warm fashion with you, if you would like that. I try to maintain a polite and kind demeanor in the type of dialog selected to converse with others. I enjoy working within the topic of WP:GAGA, and appreciate the quality contributions you have made in this arena as well. Thanks for your quality contributions in this area, and hopefully we can start afresh regarding our communications in the future. Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 08:15, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

I wish too. Lets start again. Forget that the above section ever happened. Zip and seal :) --Legolas ^(talk2me) 08:17, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Okay, thanks very much. FWIW, I am in the midst of researching finding sufficient references, in order to start perhaps multiple (new) articles, within the WP:GAGA topic. ;) -- Cirt (talk) 08:20, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Which one do you have in mind? I think Haus of Gaga would be a good start for developing, so is The Cherrytree Sessions which doesnot have any article. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 08:22, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Good ideas. I have a few others in mind, first seeing if there is enough out there as far as significant coverage in secondary sources. Will probably draft something up for one or two within the next few days. It appears that there may actually be additional biographies coming out, yet to be published, but coming out pretty soon. :P -- Cirt (talk) 08:26, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

I think the Lady Gaga biography article is now the main concern of WP:GAGA. I am waiting for it to be promoted to GA. As for the books coming out, there will be enough secondary and third party sources, its Gaga after all. Press won't give it a rest. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 08:29, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Those are more my cup of tea to work on. Biographies do not have an "end", whereas books have a beginning middle and end, and in some cases you can compile literally all the secondary source coverage about them into one unified article, and then actually say that you used up all possible sources covering that particular subject matter. Fun stuff. ;) -- Cirt (talk) 08:32, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

You are right actually. Books are very complete articles to work upon. And you did a great job in this one. Well continue developing more, though we can hope that it doesnot get nominated multiple times in AFD like this one. Lol --Legolas ^(talk2me) 08:36, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, sometimes one must write a new article with the possibility in mind that this may occur. :( -- Cirt (talk) 08:39, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

I know, I have gone through the same thing while developing "Dance in the Dark". --Legolas ^(talk2me) 08:44, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Most confusing, was the article that well referenced and written, at time of nomination of either AFD? -- Cirt (talk) 08:52, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

(Outdent) Yeah it was, pretty much the same as it is now, you can check the oldid for the Afd. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 09:11, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Nod, surprising it was AFD'd, but the closure and the history since then solidifies its Keep status a bit more, one would think/hope. :) -- Cirt (talk) 09:12, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

I know, coupled with the fact that rumors state that it is the next single after "Alejandro" solidifies it. Well do you know when are those Gaga biographies coming out? I haven't bought any one of them I admit, though I am the biggest Gaga article developer on Wikipedia. Lol .--Legolas ^(talk2me) 09:17, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Still researching that. I think the next one may be in September 2010. Might get more secondary source coverage than this last one. :) -- Cirt (talk) 09:22, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Oh ok. Good luck with the search. I think a background regarding the development of the book would be good idea. Can included the author's quotes regarding what motivated her to write this bio, her interview sessions with Gaga (if any), her writing procedure etc. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 09:27, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes, good suggestions. For those not yet published, we would want to wait first until they come out, so as to avoid possible WP:CRYSTAL issues. :( -- Cirt (talk) 09:28, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Actually background info you can add before the actual release, kinda like the music albums, where the development is added before the release date as it is reported much before the actual release. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 09:37, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Could be, but by waiting to start the article at all until after the publish date, we hopefully avoid an AFD nom purely made due to concerns over WP:CRYSTAL, whether or not they are unfounded due to overriding satisfaction of WP:NOTE. -- Cirt (talk) 09:44, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Alejandro video

Would you mind terribly explaining why you thought the screenshot of Gaga as the nun was better suited for the article than the one of her with the crown and eyewear? If someone was reading through the synopsis without having seen the video, it wouldn't take much imagination to figure out what her nun outfit looked like; by contrast, if someone read "eccentric eyewear" and didn't have a visual, that would be a bit harder. As I explained when I uploaded the image, her "queen" look is probably the most elaborate and hardest to describe, which is why I think it would suit the article better.

I've no real desire to get into any sort of disagreement with anyone here, about Gaga or otherwise, since I just do this for fun and you and others are serious editors, but I thought I'd plead my case with who appears to be the "head Gaga honcho" instead of just reverting your edits. Thanks. The Mach Turtle (talk) 16:15, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Dear Mach, the reason I uploaded the nun image is as follows. As I looked into all the news and gossip articles surrounding the video, I saw that majority of them posted the image of Gaga in the eccentric headgear or Gaga with the gun-rifle bra. Only 1 of them (Daily Mail) posted the image of the nun and the puppeteer with the gun. Hence I felt that image would be more suitable for NFCC#8, as it would give the readers an understanding of that particular scenario and a scene which, I believe, is a departure from Gaga's normal activities. We have seen her enough times with eccentric glasses. Is it clear for you? --Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:40, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

First of all, please don't think that what I wrote was meant to sound confrontational; far from it. Of course, if I'm misreading what you responded, then forgive me. Anyway, you make a good point, but to that end, wouldn't it be better depict the scene in which she eats the rosary? Seems like the best of both worlds: more out-of-character fashion and classic Gaga controversy. Let me know what you think. The Mach Turtle (talk) 04:01, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Also, on a side note, "head Gaga honcho" was meant as a compliment (seriously, damn dude, you've done an insane amount of work on her articles). The Mach Turtle (talk) 04:04, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

No problem with me. The scene with the rosary communion seems better. But I couldnot take a screenshot of that scene as I still haven't downloaded the video. Would you mind doing it? And I liked the "head Gaga honcho". You have no idea what it got me through. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 04:08, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Does this image look good? --Legolas ^(talk2me) 04:51, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

I took another screencap where you can actually see it go into her mouth (the one you linked to isn't quite as clear); it's up on the article now, hopefully you'll find it agreeable! The Mach Turtle (talk) 18:12, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

It looks wonderful IMO. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 05:05, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Editing Issues

I'm sorry, I should have disscussed on the talk page before editing. I get so carried away with editing trying to make everything look almost perfect. I did make a couple improvements on the article though, But I will try to discuss before editing on an article again.

Sorry to bother

I'm sorry to bother you with questions but I saw that, on the Confessions on a Dance Floor article, you used a Billboard review with a Google Book as a reference. I found the corresponding book for the review of Breakout and I need help. For the citation there seems to be info that I quite frankly do not know how to fill out - volume, issue, and issn. Where do you obtain the information? -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 23:16, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, nevermind. I found the tab "About this magazine". -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 23:19, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Although I am still unable to find a reference for Japanese certification or album position for the album. I contacted the user you suggested and her just gave me the overall site. Afterward, I specified my situation and her never replied. How can I find this? -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 00:41, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Check Lady Gaga discography. Now take the Japanese certification link and paste it in google. It should generate a cached page. Now click on "TRanslate this page" and you should be able to find what you are looking for. Sorry for the late reply. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 05:42, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs (talk) 17:27, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Well, the proper way of uploading images from Bollywood Hungama on Commons is to first upload the image on Commons with all the necessary information. Following this, you add an OTRS pending tag to the image and send an e-mail to OTRS with the original ticket number as the subject of the e-mail as well as the link of the picture on Commons. When your e-mail is received by OTRS, they will remove your OTRS tag and replace it with a new Bollywood ticket; the ticket will contain the day you sent them your e-mail. Let me know if you have any other questions. Regards -- Bollywood Dreamz ^talk 03:02, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, Kapoor's image was uploaded quite a while back (almost a year) and I don't have a copy of the e-mail I sent to OTRS. In the e-mail, include the links of the images as they're found on Bollywood Hungama and the links of the images as found on Commons - this part would help OTRS ticket your images faster and make their job a lot easier. Don't forget to mention that you are uploading these images as part of the Bollywood Hungama licence and lastly include the original ticket number as the subject of the e-mail. Regards -- Bollywood Dreamz ^talk 16:39, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Alejandro's peak on Hot Dance Club Play

Hi. The peak on Hot Dance Club Play is #2, there is a mistake on Bilboard page. Just check the previous week chart and you will see that Alejandro was #5 and that was its peak that week.

Hard Candy (Madonna album)

Hi, please be aware that Hard Candy (Madonna album) may have just been passed as a GA by a sockpuppet of an indefinitely blocked editor known for passing sub-standard articles as GA by giving inadequate reviews (including passing her own nominations). I'm not saying that this reflects badly on this article at all; I haven't read it and it may well be at GA standard, but just wanted to let you know that if this is the sockpuppet I think it is, the article should be relisted for a proper review. (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Gabi Hernandez which is waiting to be reviewed). Regards, --BelovedFreak 23:17, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Update: User:HGraphite has been confirmed as a sockpuppet and has been blocked indefinitely casting serious doubt on the integrity of her GA review of this article so it should be renominated. (Her fake-GA reviewing was part of the behaviour that led to the original block.) --BelovedFreak 23:40, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

		For all of your hard work on Wikipedia, including bringing the Madonna article to FA status and maintaing Madonna and Lady Gaga articles, I award you the this Barnstar. Crystal Clear x3 00:27, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

First of all I would like to thank you for "specifically" outlining your concerns with the article; they really helped a lot. However, I have a couple of questions regarding points # 10, 16, 17 and 19. To begin with, adding info on her squabble with Bipasha would clearly be unencylopedic and irrelavant IMO. Actors work with a lot of people in their films; some they get along with some they don't. Adding information like who she had fights with and so on would be completely unnecessary. For the next point, regarding the Filmfare Awards be sourced (16 and 19), the award categories have their own page with a list of the winners as well as the nominees and are also linked on the article. Do you think it is necessary to source "all" of the awards she won/was nominated for? I have done an analysis of the reviews Kapoor received for her performances in certain films over here. Reviews came from reliable sources and were used to show the majority opinion. By looking at this, you can conclude that Kapoor's performance in K3G was generally well-received.

Lastly, IMO combining the "stage performances" section with her acting career would ruin the flow of the article, and that is why I felt that it would be appropriate to have a separate section for this. Another thing is regarding point 10. According to the source on the article, it just states that her parents have sorted out their "differences" and will begin staying together. Does this need to be added? -- Bollywood Dreamz ^talk 16:14, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello Legolas, how are you? Could you please help me. This user wants to know about fair-use and wants me to show him where the rules are, but I have no idea. I tried to explain that a second cover for music artwork is not allowed unless the second cover is significantly different and can not be described with words. But the user would like to see the rules, so could you please help him with this. It would be greatly appreciated, thank you! Jayy008 (talk) 22:35, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

What does he exactly want to know? --Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:30, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, somebody else helped me as they saw my message. Basically he just wanted proof of what I was saying. Jayy008 (talk) 10:12, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I was late then. How are you Jamieboy? :) --Legolas ^(talk2me) 10:16, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

No no, just somebody saw in their watch list and replied straight away. I'm really good thanks, how have you been? :). Also on a side note, can you help me. An ip here keeps making an edit to List of One Tree Hill characters and won't give up. I know there are problems with blocking IP's so could you semi-protect the page please?

I'm not an administrater, never wish to be one. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 06:36, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

WOW, I'm surprised. I've always thought you had been! Can you point me in the right direction as the page where I go to request semi-protect please :). Jayy008 (talk) 10:52, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Civility

Please refrain from using offensive words in your edits summaries. Even if you are annoyed at IP Vandals, you need to refrain from losing your cool. As a more experienced editor, you need to be setting a good example for other users. A simple "You think I won't catch onto what you did" would have sufficed. PopMusicBuff ^talk 17:59, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Dance in the Dark sample

Done! I highlighted the rap portion as the musical style section of the article discusses the names mentioned. But if you need me to do a different part of the song I will be glad to do so. –Chase (talk) 22:22, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

I've been doing great, thanks for asking! I hope you've been doing well yourself! Have you heard about the new leg of the Monster Ball tour? I've been reading nothing but good reviews from fans and the press alike, super excited! –Chase (talk) 04:11, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

I have two tickets for the new North American leg - I'll be seeing her in September in Charlotte, NC, and then I'll be seeing the final show (I think? as long as it doesn't extend again) in Atlanta next year! I heard that there would be no more singles from Gagadaily which is not really a site I generally trust. Sometimes they appear to get info that seems legit from Gaga's team, but then other times they've reported info that was way off (they kept trying to predict the release of the "Alejandro" video for weeks before they got it right). But I don't know, it does seem like a good idea for Gaga to take a break. She's been constantly releasing singles since summer 2008 and it would be terrible if people turned on her due to oversaturation.

But I did read Chew Fu's twitter where he said he was remixing "Monster", so who knows? He didn't confirm if it was the next single but the remix album is already out - what else could it be for? I personally would prefer "Dance in the Dark" if another single is planned; honestly, "Monster" is one of my least favorite Gaga songs. :/ Sounds likes an attempt to recreate "Poker Face" in my opinion. –Chase (talk) 04:24, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw Kirill on some of the Gaga talk pages before. I doubt there will be any new singles as Gaga doesn't really have a lot lined up for the next month or so. But she has a Good Morning America appearance booked for this Friday, some other appearances that might show up out of the blue, and of course the ultimate promo venue - the VMAs - in September! So who knows? I was a little upset when I found out there wasn't a Chew Fu remix on the "Alejandro" iTunes single, but I went to youtube and lo and behold I found a remix from him! I know wiki has a policy on linking to copyright violations but I don't know if that applies to talk pages. Just to be safe, just go to youtube, type "chew fu alejandro", and you'll find it. It is crazy! His remixes are always awesome. "Bad Romance" has to be one of my favorites. I heard he did everything for Rihanna's Rated R remix album, haven't checked that out yet but I need to! –Chase (talk) 04:40, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

I could not stand Rated R when it came out. It seemed so incohesive. After about four or five listens though, I caught on, and it's like my third most-played album of this year I think (behind The Fame Monster and Christina Aguilera's Bionic), which is surprising because I've never really been a fan. But I have to agree with you about the mushroom head comment - her new hair is just awful! She looks like a redheaded Justin Bieber! lol. –Chase (talk) 04:52, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Lol, most-searched women? That's awful! But I'm not surprised that Gaga came first - that hermaphrodite shit got out of control. Glad it died down a little bit, I guess "Telephone" shut everyone up! –Chase (talk) 05:39, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

I really do not like Christina that much, I think she has an awful personality (trying to start drama with Gaga, Britney, Eminem, Mariah Carey, and others) but I really did enjoy her new album Bionic. It's not her most radio-friendly outing yet but I knew things were going downhill when "Not Myself Tonight" couldn't make top 20 and fell off the charts in seven weeks. I mean, I don't get why that single underperformed. It had a great beat, it was fun, but I guess that the market got overcrowded with songs that sound like rejected Gaga B-sides. Did you hear that Bionic had the worst-ever sales for a #1 debut album in the UK and then also set the record for the lowest drop from #1? And then in America she only pushed 111K first-week with a whole bunch of promotion and came in third after Glee and Twilight. I almost feel bad for her.

Some of Gaga's fans go overboard with the "Godga" stuff - Gaga's website even released a prayer candle through her online store to promote "Alejandro"! It's ridiculous! Beysus and Rihalla slay me everytime. My personal favorite popstar nicknames are Gagalupe and Ke$hit, and Xtincta always kills me! –Chase (talk) 05:53, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Haha, no idea who Oink is. But I am already dreading the day a Gaga song flops. I mean, all of her songs have been top five except "Paparazzi" which was still #6. But it's good that they're (maybe?) stopping with the singles until the new album, because the oversaturation is probably why "Alejandro" struggled to get the #5 spot. And also, I think they're learning from the last album, her first three singles all made the top five and then the last didn't. Her label sure knows how to keep the hot streak going! –Chase (talk) 06:06, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I think I have an idea of who the last one is? Pink? –Chase (talk) 06:14, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

So true. I could care less about the minor awards like Best Female (I mean, really? Taylor Swift?) but if she doesn't get Video of the Year for "Bad Romance", something is seriously wrong with people. But Gaga has been scarily thin lately. The photos of her in Japan made her look like a twig, and it was truly almost horrifying to watch the bedroom scene of "Alejandro". But she's had a month to rest and she looks a lot better now, from videos I've seen of the new Monster Ball leg and the event she went to at Elton John's house. –Chase (talk) 06:19, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

When I read in Rolling Stone that she thought the chorus for the album's title track was so good that it must have been dropped to her by God I literally jumped and started shaking. She's hyping this new album up a lot and it better be good! (Bah, who am I kidding? Of course it will be!) Did you hear that Xtina's new Bionic single is "You Lost Me"? Can't say it's one of my favorites, "Lift Me Up" is loads better and it was written by the lady who gave Christina her signature hit, but the radio mix is not bad. Who knows? But I personally think they should have waited until fall to release a ballad... Katy and Usher are going to destroy her! –Chase (talk) 06:31, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Just a quick note. The article has passed GA. Well done! Lil-unique1 (talk) 14:07, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Well sir that's a great achievement. I enjoyed the review (its my first proper one so I'm glad things went ok). I'll keep a look out for other articles requiring GA. Lil-unique1 (talk) 11:01, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello..

Thanks, but I think I'm not. You've done wonderful works for developing Madonna's related articles :) And about the user on my talk page, I can't understand his habbit, glorifiying Mariah Carey and making silly edits to Madonna related article. Huhh Bluesatellite (talk) 05:31, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Request

Hey Legolas, how are you?. If you get a change i was wondering since you originally reviewed Animal if you could give this page a minor reivew and let me know what i can improve upon or if there are any mistakes. I would like to submit it as a GA nom in the next 2ish months so i was wondering how you feel the article meets standards and what doesnt. (be warned singles and chart performance section are yet to be completed so you can avoid commenting on that). Feel free to write on the discussion page (its my sandbox) or on my wall for any comments or concerns. Thanks alot :) (CK)Lakeshade✽talk2me 00:41, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Good job, but as you said, just let me know once the singles and the chart performance section are done. Oh, you can add the Greek Albums Chart procession also. And wikilink some of the names in the Personnel section, removing instances of "$". --Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:58, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Alright, thanks alot :). The chart performance and singles section is done. The only issue i personally see is the Chart performance, ive looked at other GA's and mines really short. Any suggestions on how to expand? The album peaked in almost every country in its first week and now is just jumping up and down all the charts, it hasnt reached any new peaks or attained its previous peaks. So i dont know how to expand =S... (CK)Lakeshade✽talk2me 22:30, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Also now you can just look at the actual Animal (Kesha album) article. Its all been transferred. (CK)Lakeshade✽talk2me 22:31, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

The Greek procession is missing. Lemme see what i can do about it. The major point that I see now is the mismatch of reference formatting, and language and grammar problem. There are some redirects and disambiguation links also. Generally for the online sources, you shouldn't just use them in the work parameter like work=Lescharts. You should also add two quotes to make them appear non-italicized like work=''Lescharts'' I will do some for you. Also, use en-dash in the title of the references. It appears good in the expanded reference then. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:35, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Alright awesome, thank you, lemme know when your done. Regarding the refs i knew there would be some issues. If you looking at it over and over and over they begin to get hard to spot lol. As for the images i know there only required for FA's but they are good for GA's. It sucks cause i have to email the people from flickr and ask for license change cause everyone except like 5 images are all rights reserved =S.... But ill try, dont hold your breath .(CK)Lakeshade✽talk2me 04:02, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

The majority of the refs i believe i have fixed. I didnt format the ones with issues originally and i forgot to go back and do them. Im sure ive missed a few so inform if i did :). Images have been added. (CK)Lakeshade✽talk2me 06:59, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you mentioned some images should be included in the Kesha album article. I was just wondering if it mattered where they were placed (i.e. Promotional appearances section) and since most of the current free images available are from the same event would it be unwise to use more than one? Fixer23 (talk) 03:42, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

If its from same performance, but different songs, then they can be used. And generally throughout the body of the article is good. Like Hard Candy. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:49, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Madonna covers

Hi Legolas, Happy birthday!! I wanna ask something. Why Madonna's less notable cover songs such as Fever and Love Don't Live Here Anymore deserve their own articles, but her more notable covers Don't Cry for Me Argentina and American Pie (it was a big worldwide hit in 2000) are just merged with their original version??? Bluesatellite (talk) 05:41, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Well, even I don't know why, they were like that from the time I joined WP. I guess, the others also deserve their own article once I'm through with developing them for GA. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 04:01, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Paparazzi revert

Why did you do a revert of my edit on Paparazzi (Lady Gaga song)? I'm assuming you didn't like my edit, so you just went ahead and removed it, but that's is not what reverting is for. If you aren't happy with an edit then discuss it first, but don't revert it unless it's vandalism. Please take a look at WP:REVERT. It specifically states that reverts should not be made on good faith edits without discussion. It also says that reverts should always have an explanation in the edit summary or on the talk page, and you failed to do that too. –Dream out loud (talk) 08:06, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Don't lecture me on what to do and not. Your addition was already reverted from "Telephone" and inspite of that you continue to add such frivolous things like the film infobox. You should have discussed such controversial changes instead of adding it directly to high-profile GA wuality articles. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 08:14, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm not here to lecture you or anyone else. I'm simply trying to inform you of the purpose of the revert function that you used. The revert page clearly explains for what and how it is used and you did not conform to that. Please don't tell me how I am adding "frivioulus" things to the encyclopedia here. My edit from Telephone was reverted well after I had edited Paparazzi. I added both at the same time and it was in good faith. I don't see how this edit was controversial - it did not involve a major change or removal of present content in the article. If you didn't like it, then that's fine, but reverting it because you didn't like it was completely inappropriate. A brief discussion could have taken place and if a couple editors all decided it was not necessary, then it could have been removed. –Dream out loud (talk) 08:33, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

It has already been done a 1000000 times before, by splitting the articles to film pages and other fancruft. Yours wasn't any better than what other uber fans had done. I don't have patience with dealing such crap. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 08:58, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
