Martyn Phillipps (Erasure producer) vs. Martin Phillips of The Chills

Hello. I'd like to make sure this is the same person, but have strong doubts. You have edited Erasure articles a lot. For example, in the Chorus article you wrote: "Produced by Martyn Phillipps (of The Chills)..." But the Chills' Phillips' name is Martin, with an 'i' and to me he doesn't seem a likely person to produce Erasure records. Can you please clarify somehow? Garik 11 (talk) 20:43, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Billboard 100

Re: Dottie West (W) Artist info indicates West did indeed have two number 1 hits on Billboard 100 in '79 and 80's. Edit revoked and reinstated.

That information is incorrect, she does not have any Hot 100 number-ones. - eo (talk) 09:59, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't know where you get your information, but I have a copy of Billboard's April 26 1980 issue in front of me. The Country Hot 100 has "Lesson in Leavin'" at number 1, followed by "Are You Happy Baby" in 1981. I also know this to be a fact because I working as DJ at the "Mighty" KLIF AM 570 in Dallas, TX at the time... Edit reinstated.

Henry_kane (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:32, 14 May 2009 (UTC).

Uh, no. The number one song on April 26, 1980 was "Call Me" by Blondie. You're looking at the country chart. As someone who worked in radio, you're unfamiliar with the difference? - eo (talk) 17:57, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Ok, point taken. My fault. I was looking at the Billboard Top 100 under the country section. No need to get pissy about it. Sheesh. Henry_kane (talk)

Only Love Can Break Your Heart

I've made a new article for that single, since it is notable enough to have its own article. The article as we have it now is, well, a bit ridiculous, since 80% of it is taken up by templates and track listings that have nothing to do with the song, only with the single as it was done by Saint Etienne. Your reversal continues a bad article which gives undue weight, and sure, I'll take it up on the talk page, but I'm sticking to this point. BTW, you could also have considered taking this topic up on the talk page before reversing a couple of perfectly good edits in agreement with WP policy. Drmies (talk) 19:24, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

ELTON JOHN 7 No1 Albums

Hi ,I editied the Billboard 200 page a few weeks ago adding Elton John,s name to the list of Billboard artists in the most no1 album lists because Elton John has had 7 No1 albums,someone removed his name which is wrong. The list is Honky Chateau 1972, Don,t shoot Me I,m Only The Piano Player, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road both 1973, Caribou, Greatest Hits 1974, Captain Fantastic and the Brown dirt Cowboy and Rock Of the Westies 1975.In your Elton John page on Wikipedia it states their he has 7 straight No1 albums any Joel Whitburn Billboard album will also show Elton has 7 no1 albums,so why did you or some body else,from the music department remove something from the page that was true and correct in every way??? Now I see someone as Add Led Zepplin to the page ,you haven,t taken that off because it,s right, so why did you not check out what I put on there about Elton before you took it off.I also added Elton,s name to the list of Artist who have had 2 No1 Albums in a year.IN 1973 1974 and again in 1975 Elton had 2 no1 albums per year yet again you or someone like deleted elton,s name from the list.I,m new to this so I may have not done it right if you or any others out there would like to see that I,m right,I would be gratful for a reply But please check it out first,if this is what wikipedia is all about getting the facts right, I could be a big help to you guys, I,ve been a chart follower since 1977 when I brought My fist copy of The British Hit Singles and since moved on to Joel Whitburn Billboard Books as well, I have Canada, Australia and New Zealand Full and complete charts.Look forward to your reply rob —Preceding unsigned comment added by Regghead (talk • contribs) 07:28, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Exposé

WP:MUSTARD doesn't say specifically not to use "group" over "band", and there's no standardization that I can find that defines how the specific disambiguation should be used. The name of the background to use on the Navbox template though says "group or band", so there is recognition within Wikipedia that there is a difference. --Wolfer68 (talk) 16:14, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: Headstrong neiva

The Ashley Tisdale page definitely doesn't have enough content to be considered notable and could well be merged into a larger article. As for Raven-Symoné's, though it is sourced and stuff, I still think its notability is questionable. Funk Junkie (talk) 20:02, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Sure, no problem. One more thing: two days ago Yamh91 (talk · contribs) added a bunch of invalid charts to That's What Little Girls Are Made Of, which was ultimately reverted. Yesterday Yamh91, logged out and appearing as 189.248.13.240 (talk · contribs), made the same edit to the page, which was once again reverted. Doesn't it qualify as sock puppetry?

Tour articles

Ashley Tisdale concert tours is still speediable, and I would: created by a banned user, no significant updates by other users.

Headstrong Neiva/Yamh91

Separate editors, completely different styles. Disney Channel is big in Brazil, and we have a large group of Brazilian children editing the Tisdale/Raven/Hudgens/High School Musical/Lovato articles. The admins with the most experience in the area are Gimmetrow and NrDg, and they may be helpful in determining an effective strategy (and giving a second opinion about the relationship of Yamh91 and Headstrong Neiva).—Kww(talk) 22:10, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

American Pie

Could you please show me the policy or guideline that says a hit cover version of a song does not ever get a separate article? The information being added to the original version is quickly overwhelming the original song, which has a far greater cultural meaning that the cover Madonna did of the song for a film and completely is distracting from the original version and ends up giving undue weight to that version. At some point, it is just not appropriate, the article isn't about her version of the song. The content of the Madonna cover involves far too much detail for a song cover when the content for the original song is not presented in that way. Wildhartlivie (talk) 22:31, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I realize no one here has solicited my opinion, but American Pie is currently under 28kb, including pro forma stuff like chart listings and infoboxes. This is not excessive in length. The Madonna version, which McLean seems to like (and certainly made him a bit of money) is not given undue weight in my opinion, and since the release is now over 9 years old, the dedicated section is neither "quickly overwhelming the original song", nor is it likely to grow much further. I have always been against forking this cover version. / edg ☺ ☭ 12:16, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I could also use a policy or guideline for this one, if you are aware of any. A merge discussion is occurring for a Red Hot Chili Peppers cover which is being cited in the forking more cover stub articles. / edg ☺ ☭ 12:16, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Actually I believe that a number of unreliable sources are there in the article which needs to be removed. However, removing them, we are only left with a single source ie the MTV one.
