[edit] Hilary Duff articles

Your recent contribution(s) to Wikipedia are very much appreciated. However, you did not provide references or sources for your information. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. If sources are left unreferenced, it may count as original research, which is not allowed. Can you provide in the article specific references to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content in the article? You can use a citation method listed at inline citations that best suits each article. Thanks! Extraordinary Machine 16:51, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

  1. The above applies to Play with Fire (song). Also, please note that music video countdowns and iTunes charts are not official charts.
  2. I have noted that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! Extraordinary Machine 13:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Also, please do not insert section headers in a small section of text, as you did at Santa Claus Lane. Wikipedia:Guide_to_layout#Structure_of_the_article recommends against this because it makes articles look cluttered and inhibits their flow. As a rule of thumb, separate sections should contain at least two paragraphs each. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 13:12, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

You are providing links, such as http://www.the-raft.com/hilaryduff, that do not support the facts that you are trying to cite in the article. Please stop this. Extraordinary Machine 17:12, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Again, please make sure to cite your sources, specifically reliable ones, whenever adding or changing information such as sales. I know this can be a pain, but it means that anyone reading the article in the future will know that the information came from somewhere and may be considered reliable. Think about it: what's the point of adding information if there's no way of knowing whether it's true? Extraordinary Machine 13:18, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Also, in accordance with the guidelines at Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Tables for charts, chart trajectories should be excluded from articles. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 19:02, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Fly (Hilary Duff song), you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -- lucasbfr talk 06:13, 16 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Re: Fly Article

Errr I didn't quite understand what you meant to be honest :D. To edit a whole article, you can click the "Edit this page" tab at the top of each page (beside the "Article", "Discussion" and the "History" tabs). Hope that helps! Happy Editing! -- lucasbfr talk 06:43, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to About Us (Darkchild Remix)

Your recent edit to About Us (Darkchild Remix) (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles.

[edit] Re: Play With Fire

I'm not sure what you mean, but it's a print reference, not a web reference, so there isn't a link I can provide. Do you mean when you click on the number, it doesn't take you to the reference at the bottom? If so, that's because the reference is too near the bottom of the page for you to be taken there directly.

Also, it is precedent for numbers under ten to be written out in full (e.g. number one, not number 1); for numbers under 100, a university professor of English said most major style manuals recommend that they be written out as well (though Wikipedia says nothing about those). Please make sure to capitalise only first words and proper nouns in section headers, for example "Song and music video", not "Song and Music Video". In fact it's not wise to title a section "Song", because the whole article is about the song. And component charts such as the Hot Digital Songs should not be included in certain circumstances; see Wikipedia:Record charts for more info on this. I know this may be a lot to take in; I felt like this when I first started editing. But I am a Hilary Duff fan as well, so I hope we can work together, and with other editors who are willing, to make the articles on her songs and albums better. Thanks!

Greetings,

I left 66.21.220.86 a warning. Looks like a newbie; best to be nice to them, until they are repeat offenders. He hasn't edited for several hours anyway. If he comes back and is a problem, you can always list him at administrator attention against vandalism. Thanks, Antandrus (talk) 03:23, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hilary Duff (album)

I've just removed the worldwide sales figure supported by http://buenavistarecords.go.com/hilaryduff/index2.html (Duff's official website), which states "Hilary’s #1 solo debut CD "Metamorphosis sold 4 times platinum, followed by her self –titled album and “Most Wanted” both of which sold 3 million records." It doesn't say Hilary Duff and Most Wanted sold three million copies each worldwide (because they say Metamorphosis "sold 4 times platinum", they're probably referring to combined U.S.-only sales for the two albums anyway), and what's more, record labels often use the term "records" to refer to combined album and single sales. I'd be very careful about taking what you read in official website biographies and other material originating from the record company at face value; usually what they do is a) exaggerate sales figures, typically by reporting numbers of shipments to retailers as "sales", and/or b) write the material ambiguously enough that it could be misinterpreted as saying something more positive (e.g. a higher sales figure) than is actually true.

[edit] References and edit summaries

  1. Please do not use message board posts as references, because they are not reliable.

  2. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

    Edit summary text box

    The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Extraordinary Machine 14:02, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
