Just wanted to thank you for all your recent updates on sales/certifications to Demi Lovato songs. Her articles needed them! Snuggums (talk / edits) 01:35, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

November 2014

Hello, I'm Mlpearc. I noticed that you recently removed some content from List of best-selling singles 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. Thanks!

List of Billboard Hot 100 chart achievements and milestones - Most Hot 100 entries

Hi,

I saw your recent edit regarding Taylor Swift cracking the top 10 for most Hot 100 entries, and completely dropping Elton John from the list. I looked at that source for verification, more than once in fact, and it states this: "Swift ties Elton John for the 10th-most Hot 100 hits (67) all-time. Among women, she trails only Aretha Franklin (73)." Your edit indicated she has 68 chart hits, and I actually agree with your count, as I added a section on the talk page, shortly before the info was updated in the article, with the source. I even listed the songs she placed on the Hot 100, going back to her debut in 2006. How come Billboard's count is one less, I don't know (I'm hoping I have an accurate accounting of all her singles in that list, and didn't duplicate a title or add a song not credited to her). Even though you and I both came up with 68, Billboard says 67 (per that source), and it must be reported in the article as stated in the source, tied with Elton John.

Now when Swift has another Hot 100 song in the future, this will obviously be moot, and Elton will be removed from the list. MPFitz1968 (talk) 08:36, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. I actually didn't have an independent count of my own; I merely wrote in what was written on the source when I posted it, but it appears to have been amended. So I agree that that's how the article should remain for now. Thanks again! Mmrsofgreen (talk) 15:27, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Australian (ARIA) certifications for singles/albums

Hi, I saw that back in May 2015 you added an Australian (ARIA) platinum certification to the article for Merril Bainbridge's "Mouth" (which is correct), but the reference you cited (David Kent's 1993-2005 Chart Book) does not contain this information. In case you didn't know, there were 2 different charts in Australia at that time: the Kent Music Report chart, which David Kent produced, and the ARIA Chart. ARIA licensed the Kent Report chart from mid 1983 until 19 June 1988. After that date, ARIA began producing the chart in-house, and hence there were 2 national charts. The ARIA chart was the self-proclaimed "official" Australian chart from that point onward, as it was backed/funded by the Australian recording industry. From 1997, ARIA compiled the chart using electronic point of sales data, and hence their chart was much more accurate than David Kent's chart. The Kent Report chart ceased publication in 1998, but he continued to produce his own unpublished chart (I'm not sure what this was based on) for the purposes of his 1993-2005 book.

As David Kent's chart was not affiliated with ARIA after mid 1988, his books (including the 1970-1992 chart book where ARIA was licensing his chart for some of those years) do not contain information about ARIA certifications. Please do not cite David Kent's chart books as a reference for ARIA certifications. I have seen many wikipedia users do this, presumably assuming that his books contain information on certifications. It is not good practice to cite material that you (presumably) have not sighted/do not have access to yourself.Nqr9 (talk) 08:52, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
