[edit] re: Chart positions
Thanks for the update, but this is an encyclopedia, not a fan site or a race to see who can post the new chart data first. Simply put - you need a verifiable source for articles in Wikipedia. Billboard has not published their charts on their website, therefore no source exists at this time. Once their charts are available online or in print, then they are confirmed/verifiable. - eo 23:19, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- For as many times as people have posted correct info, I have reverted just as many edits in which people guess or post the wrong information. I've been a Billboard subscriber for years and years, I know that their websites do not have the charts published yet and I am aware of when they normally release things. I also know that there are message boards and such that post the top-half of the charts about a day or so early. I'm sure you're aware that a public message board thread is not an acceptable source here, right? - eo 23:28, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- It probably is not made up, but my opinion doesn't change the fact that there isn't a source (yet). Trust me, I'm not trying to be a dick and I follow the charts just like a lot of people here - I just believe in verifiability and making sure that articles have the proper sources, that's all. - eo 23:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
