Italics

@Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars why you are adding italics on album and magazine titles in every album articles? Samchristie05 (talk) 05:22, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

@Samchristie05: Because it is proper writing style per MOS:ITALICTITLE. Why do you remove italics from articles from no reason? StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 05:32, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

HoN,Y redirect

Hi! I was the person that made the Hold on Now, Youngster page that you redirected to the album. I made that page for the 2006 EP of a similar name. I'm not trying to nitpick but I figured I might as well say just in case The August Crisis (talk) 19:32, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

@The August Crisis: Thank you for letting me know. It wasn't much of an article so my plan was to move it to draft space, but since I saw the very similarly titled article a redirect seemed to make the most sense. I'm glad you recreated the article in draft space, which will allow you to develop it without worry of being redirected or deleted. Good luck and happy editing.

About adding album cover in to infobox while making article without making draft

I'm creating an article without creating a draft, should I add the album cover in before, after or while i'm making the article? Newtatoryd222 (talk) 22:23, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

@Newtatoryd222: I don't know if there is a recommended way of doing it, but I would create the article first putting a placeholder file name in the infobox, then I'd click on the red-linked file name in the article and go through the process of uploading the file. If done properly, I think that's all there is to it. Good luck. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:29, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Project Banners

Hi @Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars quick question, how should i add 1950s, 1960, 1970s, 1990s, & 2000s albums like this one Samchristie05 (talk) 03:10, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

@Samchristie05: At max, you only need to add {{WikiProject Albums}}, the project for the genre of the album (if noted and sourced in the article), and the country project for the artist’s home country. Some project banners utilize other parameter options as well so read up on the projects before just adding or changing banners on every talk page. I recommend you not do it all because of lack of experience and understanding. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 06:16, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Alert

Hello, Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars,

I just wanted to let you know that if you see articles or categories that credit work to Tochi Clement or Kourage Beatz NSI, it is likely the work of a paid editor sockpuppet. We have had blocked sockpuppets trying to create these articles since about 2023 and some of the page titles are fully protected. You work so much in the music editor and seem to review many newly created articles on albums and musicians that I thought I'd let you know that if you spot any ones in the future, they can probably be tagged for speedy deletion. Thank you for all of your contributions. Liz Read! Talk! 20:02, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Rating in websites

Hi, I hope you're doing well. I saw your edit on the article Broadway: Here I'll Stay — The Words of Alan Jay Lerner by Julie Andrews, and I noticed in your edit summary that you wrote: *"The reviewers don't rate the albums; AllMusic editors do."* The thing is, I often see it written the other way around, saying that the person who wrote the review is also the one who gave the rating — as you can see in this featured article: Madonna (album). Considering your perspective on the subject, do you think I should phrase it like this in future edits: *"The album was rated three stars from AllMusic, and the reviewer of the website wrote that..."*? Thank you for the edit on the article, and feel free to reply whenever it's convenient for you. Markus WikiEditor (talk) 02:08, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

@Markus WikiEditor: Yes, something like that should suffice or "AllMusic rated the album three-out-of-five stars and its review by so-and-so stated...". User:Koavf starting using "Editors at AllMusic rated this album [x.x] out of 5 stars, with critic [name of reviewer] writing..." and even created a template for such use (see Template:AMG text), although no one uses it. Personally, I don't think the rating needs to be mentioned in prose if it's listed in a ratings box since the rating can sometimes be at odds with the review (an album can appear to have received a rave review but gets 2 stars, for example). In regard to the Madonna album, note that the AllMusic page makes no direct connection between the review and the rating despite what was written in the article. It actually says "Editor rating" without association to whether Erlewine assigned the rating or not. Thanks and keep up the great work. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 17:55, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
Thank you. :) Markus WikiEditor (talk) 20:59, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Ratings Box

hi @Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars i was trying to put Record Mirror ratings of Hello, I Must Be Going! in the ratings box but it only has 10 ratings, it has two stars of that review, but no 11th ratings and review in the ratings box Samchristie05 (talk) 02:25, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

What is your question, Samchristie05? Anyway, I removed your addition to No Jacket Required since saying something has “a nice pattern” makes little sense in a review about an album. You need to better than that. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 03:27, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
okay, btw what's aggregator stands for on the ratings box? Samchristie05 (talk) 02:20, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
@Samchristie05: A review aggregator is like a summary or average, something that looks at all the ratings and reviews and can give a general consensus of the overall reception. Metacritic seems to be the one most widely used on Wikipedia. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 04:27, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

New Billboard Latin charts announced

So Billboard announced new subgenre charts of the Hot Latin Songs like they did with Latin Airplay (). So I was thinking, instead of creating separate articles for each of them, to merge them to their airplay counterpart articles. So, for example, Latin Pop Airplay would be renamed to Latin Pop Airplay and Latin Pop Songs. I would also merge the #1 charts to their airplay charts as done on List of Billboard number-one country songs of 2025 or List of Billboard Hot Latin Songs and Latin Airplay number ones of 2025. What do you think? Erick (talk) 14:48, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Hey Magiciandude, maybe the name of the article can be named as "spin-offs" from the Billboard charts article and have articles named, for example, Billboard Latin pop charts which would then incorporate the histories of "Latin Pop Airplay" with the new "Hot Latin Pop Songs". It's something I've thought about doing for other genre charts for a long time. I created rough drafts for these in 2011, such as Billboard rock charts. I didn't get too far with them obviously, but the idea would be to merge Mainstream, Alternative, AAA articles with the newer "Hot" charts and reduce the trivia clutter which is what takes up the space in most of those articles to fill them out but are really unnecessary. It would be more about the history of the charts for that genre in Billboard magazine, thus making it more encyclopedic. Just a thought, although it would take some time and commitment, which I haven't been able to do. I do like the idea of the combined lists, though. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 18:51, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
Awesome! In fact I'd go a step further and even include the Latin Pop Albums chart as well on the Latin pop article. I'll go ahead and do the Latin subgenre charts first and then present them to WT:CHARTS see if we can apply to other Billboard genre charts as well. Erick (talk) 16:06, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Apologies

Apologies for the over-linking/over-adding info on the articles you fixed a little while ago.. I was afraid if I didn't add a lot of context and sources to back it up the articles may have been nominated for deletion for being irrelevant or unworthy of an article. Thank you for the update/fix! I will follow model in future submissions. Bruteforce7700 (talk) 21:04, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Any further advice you may have for me on things I may be doing wrong but not realize yet would be greatly appreciated, trying to learn as much as I can and make good contributions. Bruteforce7700 (talk) 21:12, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
I'd not worry about adding a lot of context/content and put the focus on reliable sources. A detailed article with a lot of bad sourcing cam be more frustrating than a short article for a topic that has received significant coverage. It can feel like fluff and make one unsure of which ones are reliable or not. That's why this edit summary is concering: Some citations may be from typically unreliable sources but in this case the details check out and I can confirm the history is accurate and factual after doing hours worth research. Your research and thus your sourcing should be coming from reliable sources. How can you personally confirm the history?
In terms of linking, don't link countries (like United States or American), instruments (whether guitar or guitarist), common words, and repeating of terms (like the band's name or an album, just link the first use). Avoid overcategorization as well. Don't add both Category:Alternative rock groups and Category:American alternative rock groups, just the most specific subcategory. Keep up the good work, and I am glad to hear you strive to continually improve. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 21:34, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
Thank you so much, I just read this so going forward I will ensure to follow that example. My apologies for the hassle my previous edits/creations may have caused, and thank you for having patience with me during this learning process. I appreciate it! Bruteforce7700 (talk) 01:45, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
And in regards to the sources on insight on how I can personally confirm the history, most of the time when I submit something or write an article about something, I tend to become obsessive on the facts and fine details and often find myself investing hours, day, and sometimes even weeks learning about the topic (especially music related) and will read years worth of articles published online, and then go through this whole process of researching data/content to confirm stories and notable events by going on the internet archive and searching the artists/bands historically archived official websites and comb through every one that has ever been archived reading and learning to backup and confirm whether what was said in online articles from third parties and news outlets actually happened and was correct. I often use the internet archive to read old magazines that has been uploaded and archived and are accessible to search, especially for topics that were popular before the internet era. Also, I do the same thorough research on official social media pages to see if artists ever mentioned it themselves and will listen to interviews they have given and I will scavenge YouTube videos of recent and historic interviews to help with learning facts from the bands/artists themselves instead of relying on journalists or bloggers. It seems excessive but I certainly have some kind of OCD when it comes to being obsessed and going all in on a subject. I think that has been part of my problem for over-sourcing too. 😅 But I will certainly take your advice and implement it into all of my contributions going forward. Again, thank you so much for the advice and being patient with me! Bruteforce7700 (talk) 02:05, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Category:Ely Guerra albums

Hello, Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars,

Why did you create this category when you know another editor had already made a category for this artist. And you know because you removed it! This is really OWN behavior. What was wrong with the original category that was created that you had to make a new one that was slightly different? And your edit summary [here] sticking it to the other editor and implying that you have some privilege was really not civil. C'mon. Liz Read! Talk! 22:01, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

Since when do we create "albums by artist" categories in the format of "Albums by Foo". You should know better than that. It was a simple correction for one album helping out a new editor. And I didn't "stick it" to the other editor. Why revert when I was right in the middle of creating it since the best way to create a category is to create it from a red link. If it had been there for a day or even hours, that would have made sense. Thanks and happy editing. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:25, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

Whiskey

- After doing some digging, I found where I messed up on the article for the song "Whiskey" by "Copperhead".. On top of mixing up the up the sources and linking the wrong references in the article, on page 61 of the February 5, 1993 issue of R&R Magazine, they listed "COPPERHEAD/Whiskey (17)" under the "NEW & ACTIVE" section on the right-hand side of the page in the "MOST ADDED" chart. I mistakenly took that as meaning it appeared at the #17 position on the AOR chart itself instead of what the #17 truly represented which is the amount of new radio stations that reported airplay of the song. I attached the digital copy of that exact magazine issue in the PDF file linked to this message from www.worldradiohistory.com where I sourced the magazine from so that you can see how I came about making the mistake and posting the incorrect information in my initial publishing of the "Whiskey" article... So sorry for my mistake, and I really appreciate you calling me out on my error. If you had not done so, I would likely have continued making this same mistake on other articles as at first I interpreted that as being the music chart data itself and not the amount of radio stations that reported they added the song to their airtime, this made me go back and study my mistake and thats where I found out how I messed up and what those lists and numbers actually represented. When I get free time today, I will go back and go over all my edits and update any other articles I may have incorrectly published such data. Again thank so you so much for the help and guidance, and I really appreciate you reaching out. Thanks! 😃 Bruteforce7700 (talk) 15:00, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

According to the label [https://ninjatune.net/release/yeule/evangelic-girl-is-a-gun], the i of is is uncapitalised (therefore why it is uncapitalised in the article) - is there a wikipedia guideline determining this sort of capitalisation?

@Mitsukipedia: Hi, Wikipedia sticks to traditional Manual of Style capitalization rules over however stylized by artists, publishers, etc. per MOS:TITLECAPS, which states "every verb, including forms of to be (Be, Am, Is, Are, Being, Was, Were, Been)" are capitalized. The prose of an article, including song titles in the track listing, should follow the MOS. Thanks. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 20:33, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

My article does not meet credibility

Hi,

I recently noticed that you marked my article for the song "JT" by Jon Bellion as not meeting credibility for music. Could you please explain why and how, that way I can fix the issue without my article getting deleted? Thank you in advance.

Edit: All of my articles got deleted and you didn't bother answering my question. Please answer ASAP so I can put the page back at least. Please do not ignore this topic.

Jibblesnark86 (talk) 03:50, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

@Jibblesnark86: I didn't respond because I noticed that another editor agreed with me that the song was not notable but took the further step of redirecting (not deleting) the article. It was obvious from the sources provided that coverage of JT (song) is severely lacking. iTunes only confirms its availability, Genius only provides basic info, Songbpm only gives the BPM of a song (none of this counts as significant coverage, which is required to be considered notable). Even if you can find some coverage, if it isn't enough to create a decent-sized article, redirecting the title to the album (as is the case here) and any noteworthy info about the song could be added there. I recommend reading WP:NSONGS and perhaps creating new articles in draft space so they can be reviewed before they are published. Thanks and good luck. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 05:34, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Door to Dusk (disambiguation)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Door to Dusk (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is:

  • a disambiguation page with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" which lists only one extant Wikipedia page (i.e., there is a primary topic);
  • a disambiguation page that lists zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
  • a redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" whose target is neither a disambiguation page nor page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Thanks, 1isall (talk/contribs) 22:59, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

Thank you!

Hello @Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars! Thank you for the page move you performed on Look for the Light (song).

Thank you and happy editing! 11WB (talk) 11:56, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

I noticed you had also added the WP:PLOTSUM tag to that section of the article. Whilst I don't think it warranted having that tag applied personally, I have trimmed the section from 329 words to 243 words. This has shortened the section by just under a quarter. As such, I have removed the tag. Thank you for your work as a new page reviewer and for helping to improve my article!

Question

Why does the article "Only Love Knows Why" needs to be redirected to its album? Is it because of its small references or something else? SpongeBobMusicFan123 (talk) 14:08, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

@SpongeBobMusicFan123: Yes, that is one reason. The references provided are minimal and do not establish the song's independent notability. It didn't chart on a major chart, and even with that, charting in and of itself doesn't automatically make a song notable. But also, the info provided does not say anything that can't be found or added to the article for Solitude/Solitaire, and per WP:NMUSIC, "a standalone article is only appropriate when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article." Finally, I am only proposing a merge/redirect, allowing for a discussion at Talk:Solitude/Solitaire to gather consensus on what should be done. Thanks.

Hope it's not any bother :) I feel I'd be bloating WP:WPWP/ASSESS with a request like this, seeing as it's not related to an expansion or a major change. Fundgy (talk) 19:32, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

@Fundgy: I think a "C" would be appropriate for the article, but I'd hate to overrule a class rating by an established editor/patroller so soon after creation of the article and addition of the assessment. If it's truly concerning to you, I'd contact Frost directly to understand his reasoning. Good luck and keep up the good work. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 19:53, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

Redirection to uncapitalized article

Hello, I noticed you switched my article "Another Big Night Down The Drain" to "Another Big Night Down the Drain". I originally switched it to the article with the word "the" capitalized to make it more grammatically correct, and to match the cover's title on the front. I just wanted to ask respectfully that you refrain from switching it again. Thank you for understanding :) Have a great day, Xenon Xenonvibes (talk) 20:36, 15 October 2025 (UTC)

@Xenonvibes: Following Wikipedia guidelines and recommendations, per MOS:CT and WP:ALBUMCAPS, indefinite and definite articles such as "a", "an", and "the", are not capitalized for titles of works on Wikipedia, regardless of how the title is stylized on an album cover. Thank you. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 21:35, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
Alright, fair. Sorry for wasting your time.

Another question

Can you please just stop merging articles that I have made to its parent page, such as House Full of Reasons? I mean I know that I can't just add how the song charted to the introduction, but I just do not everything know about the single, just only how it charted. SpongeBobMusicFan123 (talk) 23:53, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

@SpongeBobMusicFan123: Then there's no need for a standalone article. The fact that it is a single that charted will be detailed in the artist's discography. The album page will show who wrote and produced it and possible other basic info. If you can't say more than that, a redirect is more appropriate. Per WP:NSONGS, "a standalone article is appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." Thanks. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 00:14, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
Fine, I'll add more info. SpongeBobMusicFan123 (talk) 00:17, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

On Abandon Ship

I listed the credits for the album as I found them credited... I'm not entirely sure what is meant by them myself (I mean... surely somebody played guitar or bass on the album, right?) Not sure... just taken as my sources tell me. TheSaturnLover (talk) 20:08, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

@TheSaturnLover: I just looked at the track listing on AllMusic, and it lists all the band members as writers of track 11 "Bombshell". That's probably where it comes from. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 21:06, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
Yeah, that much I figured myself, but that would imply the rest of the album is fully engineered... would not have guessed that on first listen. TheSaturnLover (talk) 21:16, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

Note

For future reference, when you're editing "album cover" categories, use the "Albumcovercat" template instead of adding a separate description. 8BitBros (talk page contributions) 02:17, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

@8BitBros: You're the one who created UGK album covers with two descriptions without using the template. That's the only reason I edited it in the first place, fixing your error. Thanks. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 02:24, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
@Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars: You modified it to only have one description, hence why I left you this message. I do, however, see the point you're trying to make. 8BitBros (talk page contributions) 02:27, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you!

Hello, thank you so much for moving my article Thru These Tears to replace the redirect page, i have questions, if i renamed it to Thru These Tears (LANY song) using move, would the link changes/broken? and how can autoconfirmed users perform this move article to existing redirect page? i want to learn it, i still an amateur in wiki. DuskSky2018 (talk) 02:21, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

@DuskSky2018: What you should be doing if there is an existing redirect for the topic you want to create, start editing from the redirect and make it into an article. If the redirect has history though related to another topic, then you'll want to make changes, which can be requested using {{db-move}}s per WP:G6. Regarding your other question, if you moved the article to an available name, it would not break existing links — it would follow the path of the redirect to the new name. I hope that helps. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 02:39, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
I see, thank you, oh im sorry for asking too much question but when im about to do like as you said, -> writing/edit from the redirect and make it into article, should i just request to move my article if the redirect became like this? (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thick_and_Thin_(LANY_song)&redirect=no) DuskSky2018 (talk) 09:34, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
@DuskSky2018: No problem with the questions. I'm happy to help if I can. Since the article you mention is in draft, let the reviewer handle the move into mainspace if accepted. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:53, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Please explain

Can you explain why you moved Chug Jug With You to Chug Jug with You? The lack of capitalisation on the W means the page title is now incorrect... 11WB (talk) 12:27, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

Your move has been reverted in good faith via request at WP:RM/TR. All of the sources in the article use the capitalised W, rather than lower case. If you wish to move it back, I would ask that we discuss it either here or on the article talk page. Thank you! 11WB (talk) 15:18, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

I've been editing and creating on wiki for over a decade and it was always to my understanding that "external links" were either the artist's main site or the album/single main site if there was one. However, you recently removed an external link to a group's main site because it didn't house the album information.

When is it appropriate to add the external link to the main site? Have I been misusing the heading or has a new rule been put into place I didn't realize?

Thank you! Xenobia4 (talk) 07:57, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

@Xenobia4: I apologize for the delayed response to your question. I've always thought it best to have external links be websites and pages that discuss the topic of the article even if it's just general information. The best place to add an external link to the main site for a group or musician is on their article. Thanks and happy editing. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 04:49, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I've left a templated message on the soundtrack IP's talk page, which they are required to answer. Let's see what happens, and if they don't answer in a week or so a level 2 message can be left by either of us or any other editor. Netherzone (talk) 21:02, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

Ive noticed you've assisted me with countless edits. I'd like to thank you. Have a great day or night. Romeo J (talk) 06:43, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

A word to the wise - I'm posting this on your talk page Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars!

Dear Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars, I am posting this on your talk page so that you can have a think about things. Now I have noticed the negativity in the edit summaries of articles I have made. So have some others. Now, I'm willing to put it down to over enthusiasm. Sure, some of my articles may have needed a bit more work before being put out there. But some of them, you've put been inaccurate in your comment, and off the top, I recall with a couple ... well, you have made errors in what you've said. That's fine to a degree in the big scheme of things when one is a prolific editor. However, there are more professional ways of dealing with a situation and posting, "Article still needs improvement" in the summary is a more professional way to address something. As I have said, I'm willing to put it down to over enthusiasm on your part. But some of the other good folk around town may get the wrong idea and think there may be a bit more to it. A picture of me could be painted but guess who the artist is! Anyway fellow Wikipedian, we're all here to improve the place and make it interesting and fun. Cheers.
