Hi! I see your talk page was not created, and there's a discussion involving you, so I'm leaving you this message. Israell ( talk) 20:27, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi Israell,
It seems to be a lost cause over the subject matter of updating Janet Jackson's numbers as a whole after reading the continuing conversation over at " How many millions sold? Revisiting the math" or even with individual album updates like with the "janet" album, 14 million to 20 million. No matter how many recent or latest resources I provide, seems to be talking to a brick wall, but I agree with TruthGuardians and castorbailey who mentioned, "should include something like sources vary on how many Jackson sold since there reliable sources state that her career sales are over 160 million or even 180 million. -WarehouseMusic 22:38, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
To: Mr. Bink
Are you the one that has seniority over Janet Jackson's page because last I checked, there's supposed to be a round table discussion among editors to come to a final decision, right?
"Your sources are wildly out of sync with reality," stated Bink. So, a press release, a statement Rolling Stone magazine and quote from Rock & Roll Hall of Fame are not all valid sources yet Guinness World Record is for Madonna despite that organization is fraudulent. Most would say Madonna's numbers are over exaggerated too. Nobody believes she actually sold 300 million albums worldwide for the fact she doesn't even have at least one 30x Multi-Platinum certifications like Michael Jackson. Not even overseas music industry certification numbers for Madonna add to up to 300 million and were suppose to believe Guinness World Record because of their name sake.It seems that Wikipedia has problem with black success. Especially when it comes to Janet & Michael Jackson. RIAA actually states Michael Jackson's Thriller album sold 1 billion dollars alone but there's no word of that here. So, if I update those statistics on the assigned Michael Jackson "Thriller" Wikipedia pages, am I going to get drama over that too like I'm having with Miss Jackson?
That's why NOBODY takes this public encyclopedia platform seriously. It doesn't adapt to change or doesn't fit a narrative.
Sincerely, WarehouseMusic
I only spoke my opinion once on the subject in a great, mini essay that made the logistics completely clear for a 6-year old to understand while the rest was a just a dick contest of shit show of bickering back and fourth. Which by the way, the conversation hasn't really ended over at How many millions sold? Revisiting the math either. It's clear as day that you are the judge of court and for the record, Madonna came into the discussion because I was making a valid point on "over exaggerating" numbers as you once put it about another artist and by your profile, I understand why her name hit nerve. The refusal to use first hand sources (UMG press release, Billboard, Rolling Stone) is just mind-blowing and really petty!
As University of Georgia said, "Wikipedia entries tend to be conservative, reflecting traditional views over newer research and a waste of time."

Hello, and
welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly
reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at
Janet (album). Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "
edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the
normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a
consensus on the
talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

As indicated at Template:Infobox album#released "Only the earliest known date that the album was released should be specified". The date that you keep adding is the one for the US release and it's already added at All for You (Janet Jackson album)#Release history, where you can see that it was released in three other countries prior to the US release.
