Hey there, I've seen you've nominated Ungodly Hour for GA status. I don't know how to ask this without sounding annoying lol but could I possibly work on it with you and earn a co-nominator credit? In December of last year I significantly improved it from this to this, and so I am both very familiar with the content and am a major contributor as per WP:GAI. I'd love to help you out bc this album is so good and deserves justice HeyitsBen talk 15:20, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi. I've noticed that you've nominated the SZA album Ctrl for GA. Great! The more quality articles Wikipedia has the better. However, an aspect that I found interesting, and slightly troubling was in the R&P section. Put simply, I don't think extensive detail about the tour should be include. Per Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Album article style advice: "Concert tours are not always notable enough to warrant stand-alone articles (see WP:NMG#Concert tours). Instead, information about notable tours and festivals should be incorporated into either the artist's page, or the album article for which the tour is supporting. Do not list all dates here, instead mention the range of dates (ex. June–September 1992)."
Such a large table in a relatively small article can be quite obstructing to readability. Another issue is that it lacks citations, which it requires.
For what it's worth, this is not an instruction. You can talk it over with other interested editors or wait for the GA review to see if it's mentioned. Either way, have fun. DMT biscuit ( talk) 12:40, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
The article
Into You (Ariana Grande song) you nominated as a
good article has passed ; see
Talk:Into You (Ariana Grande song) for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can
nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility. Message delivered by

Thank you so much for this! I didn't see this until now, but I just wanted to say you're welcome and also thank you so much! Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 ( let's chat!) 12:26, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Good morning, I saw you deleted my article almost immediately after creating it, citing "self written vanity page" as one of the reasons? I am not the subject of the article, and I think it's strange to assume that. I do not have a conflict of interest with the subject either. I also believe the subject meets the notability guideline for an independent musical artist and the BroadwayWorld, LVL3, and Paper magazine sources I used fall under the RS guideline. I understand your concern with the Twitter sourcing, and I can change that, but I don't think the article should have been speedily deleted, especially without a warning on my talk page or anything. Thanks, -- dyl x 06:39, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for message. If your article wasn't ready, you should have written it as a draft, not in article space.
I assumed you had a COI because I've deleted hundreds of these promos, and nearly all are self-written or occasionally written by their managers or agents, so it's a reasonable assumption. My apologies if you don't have a COI.
The point of speedy deletion is that an article is so non-compliant it's beyond salvation, so no logic in notification.
In summary, we have almost no proper independent factual sources, no evidence that he meets our notability criteria, just another self-releasing wannabe.
Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Thanks, Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:21, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style, in this case being hyperpop. 1 2 3 4 5 (I can provide quotes from these supporting the criteria if needed.)
Interviews are generally reliable for the fact that the interviewee said something, but not necessarily for the accuracy of what was said.I never claimed that the subject's projects were "driven primarily by fantasy and just fun story telling" or that they were "sparkly, angsty, and angelic"; I was simply stating that he said those things about his work in interviews.
Hello. Regarding your addition of the A-side parameter to "Exes" and B-side parameter to "Greedy", this is a misuse of these parameters as per Template:Infobox song#A-side, "If the article is about a song that was released as a B-side of a single...", but "Exes" is not primarily nor only issued as the B-side of "Greedy" when it's a single in its own right released later on. I believe you added these because the songs were issued on some digital platforms as a single together (I'm not aware of any CD single issue). They weren't released like this together everywhere (Qobuz lists both separately, for one example), and even if they were, this is a common tactic to increase streams for all the songs that have been released from an album before the album has been released—it doesn't make one the A-side and the other the B-side. These parameters are primarily for singles that were released in the physical-dominant era prior to the digital age we're in. Some songs gained popularity as B-sides even though they were never A-sides, or, CD singles or vinyls that were A-sides contained non-album B-sides. Using these parameters on singles released separately and at different times is not what these parameters were intended for, and I have actively removed them from pop music articles previously. (Even if the songs were issued on a physical format together, I don't think that justifies the use of these parameters as in 2023 physical editions of singles are extremely limited editions, not a widely distributed format as was usually the case prior to the digital era.)

Mach61 ( talk) 02:45, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Hi,
I received your message on my user page and would like some clarification.
Why are Ayesha and her associates' social media accounts and posts considered unreliable? Ayesha is an online artist, primarily known as an independent SoundCloud artist with very few "official" releases on streaming services. Therefore, most citations about her work will naturally be online. I can provide numerous Wikipedia articles that use similar citations. Additionally, if Ayesha's own social media posts and releases are deemed unreliable, why is her Musicbrainz profile, a fan-made site editable by anyone, considered acceptable? Her page is currently filled with tons of false and misleading information; a Wikipedia page is supposed to cover someone's history and that's what I'm trying to do.
