Sales figures

Does anyone know of any sites at all that have proper archives of Ayumi's sales from Oricon? I'm working on improving the Winter diary article but the only information about its sales I have found is on a Generasia page that was updated back in 2015 literally as sale figures were updated daily by Oricon when the album first came out. I obviously can't use that source since they don't link to where the figures came from and I haven't found any archived copies of the daily sales page on the usual archive sites. Any help pointing me in a reliable direction would be much appreciated, unless no such site exists, in which case I guess I'll have to forgo a "Performance" section in the end. -- Carlobunnie (talk) 16:39, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

60.94 million sales claim in lead

TenPoundHammer you rmvd the cn tag I added to the "Hamasaki has sold over 60.94 million units as of 2019" part of the first sentence of the lead's 2nd pgraph, but an unreliable chartmasters.org reference was cited in support, which was why I replaced it with the tag. Additionally, the most recent of the 4 sources at the end of the full sentence is (a dead ref) dated 2016, and the others support 50 mill sales as of 2012. What other recourse was there? Should I have just left it alone? -- Carlobunnie (talk) 06:33, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why did the main photo change?

Change it back to the sunglasses photo, it didn’t need to change 2603:8000:200:20D:F9A6:E521:210E:B0A6 (talk) 21:09, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merges

I have merged the articles for Ayumi Hamasaki Arena Tour 2002 A and Ayumi Hamasaki Stadium Tour 2002 A because they are unreferenced and fail WP:NALBUM. If you disagree with the merges or believe you can create a better article, feel free to undo my merges.

For these same reasons, I have merged the articles for Ayumi Hamasaki Concert Tour 2000 Vol. 1 and Ayumi Hamasaki Concert Tour 2000 Vol. 2.

Thank you for bringing attention to these pages, it was the right call. I'll round back to giving those releases their proper dues eventually if no one else does. Jelioi (talk) 11:41, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
