[edit] Mariah Carey FAC

Hi, I wanted to draw your attention to some edits that have been made expanding the bio infobox for Mariah Carey. I've commented on this at some length on the FA nomination page and have changed my vote to "object", but I wanted to explain to you why I did it this way. The last thing I want to do is cause any problem with the article being featured because I feel it is very deserving. I know I could easily revert the changes, but I suspect that I would then become embroiled in an edit war, and that would be more disruptive to the process. My intention in formally changing my vote to "object" and making it public on the nomination page is so that it can be dealt with publically and hopefully any other editors who may agree with my comments will support them and the matter can be dealt with quickly. I think the editor who made the changes did so in good faith but without appreciating the wider ramifications of what looks like something very simple. The problem is that I don't trust this editor to be reasonable, judging on what I've seen of his behaviour in the past, which is why I've given such a detailed explanation of my opinion on the nomination page. This probably all looks very cryptic if you haven't read my other comments yet. Rossrs 00:04, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for dealing with this so quickly. After I saw the info box on Mariah, I also noticed it on Kylie Minogue where there were no related artists, but quite a POV list of notable albums and singles, which I removed. I guess we should just remove them when we see them. Thanks again, I'll go and change my vote back. Rossrs 00:16, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

and now it's featured! :-) as if there was ever any doubt. Congratulations. Nice to see all that hard work was appreciated. Rossrs 09:23, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Honey (Bobby Goldsboro song), which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

When then they don't know how to edit Wikipedia. Because to me, it is very easy to edit those things. It's hrad for me to edit those other ones! Plus this one give more information than the other one did. It has sales and Cirtifications of the album and chart positions, which singles have. I think we need a much better one. Mine may not be the best but at least it's better than the other one. So stop dissin' me okay. Tcatron565

[edit] Image

Week-by-week chart positions (click image to view data in tabular form). "Hollaback Girl" was a number-one hit in the United States, Canada and Australia.

I found this image while scanning an article and found it to be filled with nonsense. The song was never a number-one hit in Canada and the latter portion of the Australian trajectory is false as I've verified at both Jam Canoe and ARIA. I am placing it here for now, since you were the original uploader, but if I were you, I'd consider consulting an administrator and having them delete it immediately. Just letting you know. —Eternal Equinox | talk 16:07, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

I see that you have cleared your userpage. Does that mean....? Orane (t) (c) (e) 21:55, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Hopefully not. :( —Eternal Equinox | talk 20:19, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Janet Jackson discography

Hi

Just letting you know ive removed your clean up tag from the Janet Jackson discography; I did a lot of work on it last night, so its looking a lot better now...

Also just wanted to say "hi" and let you know I appreciate the work you do on Wikipedia...Rimmers 23:48, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks lol! I wrote all over the BK article...it was just a discography to start with. I'm actually pathetically pleased with myself lol...its not finished yet tho - I still have to add a detailed philanthorpy section, detailing all her charity work and reflect how explicitly thats reflected in her lyrics...

You're right about Corinne too...she is devine! I saw live on her home coming gig in Leeds a few weeks ago, she completely floored me! I really like the album (altho it wasnt as strong as the album sampler led us to believe it would be), but it comes to life SO much more live cos the band is just fantastic. All is over shadowed by Corinne tho; her voice is just so powerful, its unreal! She had 2 backing singers - but they were just sat there most of the night cos they werent needed - she just carried the whole show. If you wanna know more, I wrote a review on her forum: http://forums.corinnebaileyrae.net/viewtopic.php?t=941 Rimmers 19:04, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi EM

I'm leaving Wikipedia. I find this place to take things too personally and am not interested in anything it has to offer anymore. Perhaps we could communicate off of Wikipedia? Please respond on my talk page if you're interested. —Eternal Equinox | talk 15:35, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I'll remember to! —Eternal Equinox | talk 21:36, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I'd rather you didn't. Jkelly 16:40, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

If you're not having fun, take a break for a while. You may find that you enjoy yourself again after some time passes. Jkelly 22:59, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] On Mariah Carey

The well noted article from Rolling Stone in 1990 depicted her as having a seven octave voice, so I do not see how what is unsourced? I was merely trying to explain why her range has been under "dispute". Curiously, when has she been listed as having "eight octaves". I missed that one. Antares33712 18:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Since you are an administrator I now it doesn't matter, but I list the following links anyway:

http://www.mariahlambsunited.net/biography.htm http://www.mariahdaily.com/jan04.html http://www.videohits.com.au/artist.php?artist_id=8917

I typed the following in the MSN search engine. Rolling Stone Mariah Carey "seven octave" voice, and received a lot of sites depicting this "seven-octave" range. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Antares33712 (talk • contribs) 18:37, 18 April 2006.

[edit] Without You

Whoops, you're still here? Spoke too soon. Anyway, surely we don't need to wipe out all the infoboxes... Plus that discussion is hardly done. Anyway, this whole "multiple cover versions" debacle is inspiring me to try something new. See Without You very soon. –Unint 01:47, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boiling over!

You have falsely accused me of vandalism twice! That (no offense) is something a newb would do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sabertiger (talk • contribs) 21:36, 21 April 2006.
