[edit] Certification of Daughtry's album

I have changed the certification status to 3X platinum several times after Billboard reflected that "Daughtry" was now so certified 3X platinum. However, someone keeps reverting it back to 2X platinum. This reverting is making the information inaccurate. I would thank you, whoever it is, to refrain from reverting to inaccurate information. Thank you, again.Tent-ripper 02:21, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mandisa Single Sales

How come this is empty. Her single has been #1 for 4 weeks now!!!!!


You can edit the article yourself if you so wish and specify the correct standing of Mandisa's single. Tent-ripper 02:20, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:E. Yamin album cover.jpg

Image:E. Yamin album cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Katharine McPhee's "Katharine McPhee" album RIAA certification

Unless you can cite a reference, please stop changing the album's certification to Gold. --Aspects 18:45, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Top 24 eliminated males

The sections for Gedeon McKinney and Will Makar are currently much, much longer than the other eliminated performers from the top 24. I want to edit them down to only a few minor, AI-related or current details, as the others have; just wanted to get agreement before I do that. Lauracs 17:30, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I was thinking about doing the same thing, but was hoping someone else was up to the task. So I stand fully behind your future editing of them. Plus I do not like the fact the sections say they placed 14th and 15th respectively because they did not. Aspects 02:38, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mystery numbers after contestant names

On the Season 6 article's discussion page, someone asked about these numbers, and since no one's offered an explanation of them in the three months since, I commented them out there, and here as well. (These are the only two pages in which they appear.) 71.255.98.252 (talk) 15:55, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
