I really disagree with the tag. The whole point of the article is to document all of the facts, records and milestones each number-one by each singer has had. It's not my fault that that some songs, especially more recent ones, have more info on them than older songs where reporting wasn't so prolific. I recognise that there is a lot of info for Anti, but being one of only 4 albums to ever produce at least 6 number-ones, and the circumstances surrounding each of them which have garnered it, the album and Rihanna herself so many records and milestones, can't be helped. I can try trimming it down, but I won't remove crucial information. Furthermore, if someone has had 30 number-ones, there is bound to be info and thus more prose than someone who has had 14, so I don't agree with the "undue weight" part. — Calvin999 09:29, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
- Calvin, the whole point was to reduce the info as it was bordering on puffery now. Yes I understand Anti is one album to generate six number ones, but it currently has undue weightage in comparison to the whole article. Rihanna's records are set in stone for sure, what is not necessary is fluffing it up to make it a Billboard article. We do not need to go to such in-depth regarding every song from Anti that has reached number one. Rihanna will achieve further number ones as so will Madonna, Katy Perry, Beyonce etc the other artists listed here. Now hope you see the problem that we will be dealing with. —IB [ Poke ] 09:57, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
- I don't see it as puffery, it's chart records per song (some don't even have any written, just that it was number-one). Anything written is paraphrased and condensed from Billboard. No I don't see the problem. Yes, they will achieve number-ones, but look at the infrequency. Rihanna has had 7 in the time Madonna has had one, which was 3 years ago. Mariah hasn't had any for 4 years, Beyonce the same. Janet doesn't chart anymore, Donna is dead. I can't help that Rihanna has had 30 before the age of 30 and so many records have been set with them, specifically with Anti, that's not undue weight, that's just stating the facts. I've shorted Rihanna's by 1200 characters, but I don't see how else I could trim it. The 2005-15 section is already tightly squeezed with 23 songs in three paragraphs. — Calvin999 10:07, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
- I can see many ways it can be tightened more. It is puffery if you go into that much detail about each and every song in the Anti para, details which are much more suited for the song articles themselves. The 2005-15 section is perfect as it is. I don't see any reason why the Anti para needs the undue weight. Madonna might not have charted since 2015 since she did not release anything. Rihanna has had several releases from the album. In terms of crystal gazing we very well know that such statistics change randomly, especially in the Dance Club Songs chart, where the turn over is huge and on a weekly basis. Its basically every man's prerogative to reach number one in this chart now. —IB [ Poke ] 11:35, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
- I understand what you're saying, but because Anti now has 6 number-ones, it is bringing more info as a result. There is more info about that six songs than the other 24 combined (but that's partly because there is more reporting on number-ones now than even 5 years ago). I have left out some info, and I've removed all examples where I've stated who the remixers are, as well as specific dates and "for the chart issue dated" phrases to shorten the sentences. Rihanna's section as a whole is the same length as Madonna's (a lot of Madonna's have little to no chart stats, records, info etc) and Katy Perry's is pretty detailed too, again, because of so many consecutive number-ones and having multiple albums produce at least 5 number ones. If it wasn't titled Records with Anti and deliberately sub-sectioned, and was just a six paragraph section, would you have questioned it? Because Madonna's has always been that length but isn't sub-sectioned. I personally thought sub-sectioning it broke up the prose a bit and made it easier to navigate. — Calvin999 14:16, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Gaga
Do you think this is a good idea? Also I am happy that so far there are not major concerns in PR, although I do think I should invite more reviewers. – FrB.TG (talk) 09:50, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Hanky Panky on Rebel Heart Tour
How are you IndianBio? I have a question regarding a performance on Rebel Heart Tour. Madonna performed Hanky Panky on Brisbane: watch here. Is there a way we can add this to the tour and song's articles using that vid as source? --Chrishm21 (talk) 19:59, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Why did you revert my edit to the original song article The Lady Is a Tramp
The Bennett and Gaga version just needs to be listed in that article, the same way all the other versions are listed. This is an article about a song written 80 years ago and covered by dozens of performers in the decades since it was published. Why not create another whole article that is only about The Bennett and Gaga version? This song has been around for many decades and was recorded along the way by many top artists of their day. There is nothing wrong with all the text devoted to The Bennett and Gaga version, but it is in the wrong place in that article, which is about an original song written a long time ago.Dratman (talk) 06:42, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

re: shashaa tirupati page
hi IB, just noticed the various warnings received for the page on Shashaa Tirupati. didnt realize what went wrong. could you please elaborate. if this is about citations, do let me know exactly where youd require them, eg where shall i incorporate them in the discography? also, if you could restore the information last updated by me earlier last night, i could start citing sources on as many as i can. thanks. Itsallaboutthemusic (talk) 23:00, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Itsallaboutthemusic:, everywhere throughout the article you need to add citations from reliable sources using the {{cite web}}, {{cite news}}, {{cite magazine}} etc templates. And no I won't be restoring any unsourced information. It is upto you to first find reliable source and use the talk page of the article to let other editors decide if it can be added or not. You are inexperienced. —IB [ Poke ] 04:50, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Set List
You seem unhappy with people adding to pages. I added the set list for the All the Hits tour and you removed it twice, citing there is no source. In ten minutes I found 5 concert pages that have the set list with no source. The source is that people attend the concert and know the set list. Not sure why you're against the page being more detailed, but whatever. Kaish15 (talk) 08:30, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Kaish15: if any other page has no source associated with them for set list, then that is an editor's miss. That does not mean that we should be adding set lists without any reliable sources in any other articles. —IB [ Poke ] 08:59, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Madonna songs
Hey Cedric, are you aware of any Madonna songs that would pass WP:NSONGS and do not have an article yet? I've been itching to write one for her lately and I have a few in mind, although I would like to see what you say first. Thanks, Carbrera (talk) 01:50, 23 July 2017 (UTC).
- "Mother and Father" from American Life since it was a dance chart hit, "Issac" from Confessions since it was part of a controversy with rabbis, "Messiah" from Rebel Heart has independent notability when she was recording it along with "Veni Vidi Vici" because of the career references, "Over and Over" from Like a Virgin was a promotional release in Italy and even charted. These are from the top of my head @Carbrera:. —IB [ Poke ] 06:05, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- Sounds great. I was also thinking "She's Not Me" because it charted in Finland, "I Love New York" since the Glee cover version charted, and "Behind Me" (the unreleased track) since some random artist released it on iTunes and it caused quite a stir before being removed a few days later – although I believe it is back in some countries. As long as I have you here, was "Love Spent" from MDNA released as a promotional single in Europe? I've seen a pretty realistic-looking CD single on several occasions for it on the internet, including on Ebay and Discogs. It looks pretty legit and it appears that Universal Music may have issued it, although I'm not certain. It also has a ISRC code of USUG11200450 – perhaps this will help. Thanks, Carbrera (talk) 06:29, 23 July 2017 (UTC).
- @Carbrera: yes "She's Not Me" I can agree with but not "I Love New York" since it was the cover version. "Behind Me" again, I don't know how much material can be obtained. "Love Spent" the one that you have seen was a promotional CD released by Universal from The MDNA Tour performance of the track at Ziggo Dome Amsterdam, plus two remixes. It can be included in the albums discography page but does not pass as independent article. —IB [ Poke ] 06:44, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- Yes; I didn't think of turning "Love Spent" into an article due to it not charting. I'll add "Love Spent" to the discography page as well. Thank you. Carbrera (talk) 06:47, 23 July 2017 (UTC).
- Just letting you know, I responded to your comments on my featured list candidate. I appreciated your input so thanks. Carbrera (talk) 05:54, 29 July 2017 (UTC).

Taylor Swift discography
Hi, I'm RugratsFan2003. Right now, I'm questioning your decision to revert my contribution to Taylor Swift discography. I believe that my contribution was a useful contribution. The reason why is from looking at these pages:
Tim McGraw discography
Faith Hill discography
Patty Loveless discography
George Jones singles discography
George Jones albums discography
The Oak Ridge Boys discography
Home Free (group)#Discography
Kenny Rogers discography
Dottie West singles discography
Dottie West albums discography
Jim Reeves discography
Deborah Allen discography
Cledus T. Judd#Discography
Buck Owens discography
Susan Raye discography
What all of these pages have in common are that the US Country positions are listed. It makes no sense that these other artists have US Country positions and Taylor Swift does not. I should also mention that I left a message in the talk page a week ago to make sure that the community would be okay with this, but no one commented back. If my contribution turns out not to be useful, I am retiring from this screwed place called Wikipedia. I've been blocked twice, because the community didn't give me time to learn from mistakes that I made. RugratsFan2003 (talk) 14:14, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- @RugratsFan2003:, all those are just hardcore country artists with limited presence in the US. Unlike Swift who has successfully moved into the Pop category now with Red and 1989. Her country output was once added but was later changed because it was deemed irrelevant to add a genre chart from which she has moved. Also, adding country charts for 3/4 nations is unnecessary and places undue importance on them. Discography should be globally represented for an artist and not more than 10 charts in total, each from one of the big markets for that artist. —IB [ Poke ] 14:42, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
- I understand now. I won't be retiring from Wikipedia anytime soon. Thank you, and have a nice day! RugratsFan2003 (talk) 21:23, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

MDNA album cover
At one point you are saying that one should refrain from adding deluxe edition cover arts of the albums whereas whenever i try to add the standard edition cover of Madonna's MDNA album you quickly delete it. So please explain me KARANSUTTA (talk) 22:54, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
- Hi @KARANSUTTA:, please note that the deluxe edition is the one which received multiple media coverage, thereby passing WP:NFCC. Hence it is kept and same as Rebel Heart. —IB [ Poke ] 06:05, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

Look What You Made Me Do
Hello @IndianBio: I don't think you read my edit summary. On iTunes the official single uses the album cover. I provided a link in my edit summary but here it is. Single cover (121.214.32.236 (talk) 09:11, 29 August 2017 (UTC))
- No, the link is not from the album. Where are you getting that information? It's a "single" and it says it's a "single" on iTunes. Also, could you please discuss here instead of speaking via edit summaries? From what I know the talk page is the first form of communication when one has a dispute. Thanks. (121.214.32.236 (talk) 10:57, 29 August 2017 (UTC))
- Here are two more sources that use the album cover as the single cover @IndianBio:. Google Play and Spotify. It's the same cover. (121.214.32.236 (talk) 11:02, 29 August 2017 (UTC))
- No that was not an idiotic response, I'm trying to discuss this matter in a civil matter but you're turning it into a verbal war. What is your problem? (121.214.32.236 (talk) 11:04, 29 August 2017 (UTC))
- I don't care if it's an idiotic response, I have reverted your edit. We can discuss the matter in a civil manner and if we come to a consensus that results in the image being removed we can then remove it. For now it can be kept until we reach a consensus. For your information, I have seen many other users say the exact same words to other users when another user makes a mistake when editing, so it's not idiotic. (121.214.32.236 (talk) 11:09, 29 August 2017 (UTC))
- @IndianBio: Persistent vandalism? What are you on about? There are sources, why is it so hard to understand why the image has been included? You have not given me any reason why it's being removed. All you're doing is reverting my edits and making rude remarks. Could you tell me why it's being removed? Is Wikipedia not built on fact, so why is this happening? (121.214.32.236 (talk) 11:49, 29 August 2017 (UTC))
- Those are not the single covers, and google play and spotify are unreliable as they take album covers. Take this disruption somewhere else and let me find out which sock you are ma dear. —IB [ Poke ] 12:36, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- Sockpuppet really? I'm a dynamic IP user. Is this how you treat IP users here on Wikipedia? I've seen you edit many pages (via edit summaries) before but I never knew that a well established user like yourself could stoop so low and say such things. You couldn't even give me a proper reason as to why it was constantly being removed, a kind user had to explain it to me despite themselves not being involved in the dispute. Out of the fours years I have been here on Wikipedia this is the first time I have come in contact with you and I must say it was not pleasant. (121.214.32.236 (talk) 13:02, 29 August 2017 (UTC))
- Tsk tsk Reece. —IB [ Poke ] 13:12, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Quality scale
Hi. May I ask, how do you grade articles according to quality scale? I saw that you rated Reputation (Taylor Swift album) as start-class when I feel that it should be future-class, as nobody knows anything about the album yet. What do you think? Nahnah4 (talk | contribs | guestbook) 12:56, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- Nahnah, yes the article is currently start class since there is no future class nomination for Taylor Swift wikiproject. We can have future class in the album wikiproject tag as it supports it. —IB [ Poke ] 13:14, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- I see. Thanks for replying. Nahnah4 (talk | contribs | guestbook) 09:28, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
Hello there! Quick question: would there be any way to include the Netflix synopsis on the page? I just thought since it was a small text blurb and it was attributed to them, it wouldn't be infringement. Also, what source would you think to be suitable? The page seems a little anemic without the synopsis; was hoping to flesh it out some more. SomethingToTellYou (talk) 02:33, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
- Hi @SomethingToTellYou:, the only way we can is to paraphrase the text in our own words completely. —IB [ Poke ] 09:34, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
Is there any way of finding out the boxscores for Leg 3 and Leg 5? Archives weren't added for them. — Calvin999 20:17, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
- Hi @Calvin999: I don't know how, I do not subscribe to Billboard :( —IB [ Poke ] 03:21, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Do you know anyone who does? — Calvin999 08:47, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Million Reasons
Hello! I'm just wondering how I can fix the "Million Reasons" article to provide the correct director information? it currently states that Ruth Hogben and Andrea Gelardin directed when Lady Gaga & Ryan Hunter Phillps did. I figured the director's official page would be enough, but I see it's considered advertising/promotion. However, the only sources of the director are from official web pages, as Gaga never officially acknowledged anyone involved. Ruth and Andrea have also never mentioned directing this video. I'm new to all this, so any help you could provide would be great. Thanks. Byalienmeans (talk) 02:55, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
- Byalienmeans it cannot be added unless third party reliable sources indicate Ryan Hunter Philips as director. And my personal search cannot find any reliable source listing Ryan as director. Seems like this stemmed from the director's own website which cannot be a third party reliable input. —IB [ Poke ] 09:13, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
Look What You Made Me Do
What do ya think of the song? Honestly the "new Taylor" kinda sucks; "Shake It Off" and "Blank Space" were so much better self-parody songs than this. Not sure why it's breaking records. What are your thoughts? – FrB.TG (talk) 18:36, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Upon listening to "...Ready for It?" I disagree with the "'new Taylor' kinda sucks". – FrB.TG (talk) 20:31, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- Hey FrB.TG, LWYMMD I'm kinda ambivalent but RFI is amazing! on repeat! —IB [ Poke ] 09:14, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
