[edit] Junebug52 Talk Page

Hello, I am not sure why or how it happened, but my talk page was moved to your talk page. Please be careful when doing edits if you do not know how to do them. This caused a lot of problems as people were asking me how this happened. Thank you Junebug52 22:37, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lynn Anderson edits

Hi. It appears that you are attempting to make the article Lynn Anderson prettier, but you are adding capital letters where they are not called for. Please review Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Wording which asks that we not capitalize titles of sections other than the initial letter and any proper nouns. Thanks! --Paul Erik 23:42, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I did not mean to offend, and I think that "make the article prettier" was a poor choice of words on my part. I apologize. I guess all that I was meaning to say is that when I change the section headings back so that there are not capital letters, ampersands and such, it is not because I think that it looks better one way or the other, but because I am following the guidelines at the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. Thanks for the contributions to the article. Sincerely, --Paul Erik 04:00, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Your smile to me made my day brighter! :) --Paul Erik 17:42, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Dottie West-First.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Dottie West-First.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 01:36, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Taylor Swift Discography

Pleases stop removing the discography from the Taylor Swift article. Wikipedia:Summary style, which is an official editing guideline, states: "Sections of long articles should be spun off into their own articles leaving a summary in its place. Please take a look at any of our Featured musician articles (AC/DC, Alice in Chains, Kate Bush, Pink Floyd, Sex Pistols, The Orb, Wilco, U2, etc.) and you will see that they all include summarized discographies. Kaldari (talk) 20:41, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I can understand why you would add a section of the discography for Swift's page, but it is not necessary for an artist such as Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift's discography is too small for a need of another one in its place. She's only released 1 studio album, and only four major singles. Artists that you were exemplifying that have these discographies on other pages like Kate Bush or Alice in Chains have released plenty of singles, and a series of albums, which is why they need it. Swift doesn't need it because there isn't enough discography to put on her main article. You're not gonna have any new artists such as Leona Lewis and Kellie Pickler have another discography because they don't have enough of one already. This is clearly why it is not necessary for 1 yet. Dottiewest1fan (talk) 21:06, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

If that's true, there should not be a spin-off Taylor Swift Discography article. It should all be included in the main Taylor Swift article. The only reason editors got in the habit of splitting off separate discography articles is because they would overwhelm the main article. Either the entire discography should be included in the primary article and there should be no sub-article or there should be a summary of the sub-article in the main article, as specified in the guidelines. See Nick Drake for example: only 3 albums, but they are listed in main article to make it comprehensive (and thus eligible for Featured Article status). It is not acceptable to have a section of an article with no content whatsoever, and you won't find any Featured Articles where that is the case. Kaldari (talk) 21:16, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I see it is true that most country music articles have abandoned having discographies on the artist pages. Unfortunately, I just don't think this is in line with our editing guidelines. You seem to feel pretty strongly about it, so I'll leave the Taylor Swift article as is, but I would encourage you to read through WP:SS and look at other musician articles that are Featured Quality. Wikipedia articles are supposed to be able to "stand on their own", i.e offer comprehensive information without relying on sub-articles. Since all of Swifts albums and singles are mentioned in the article text, I suppose you could argue this is already the case, but I think the article should at least answer the question "What are all of the singles and albums that Swift has released?"

[edit] Copyvio

This is a massive copyvio, as is this, and probably quite a few of your other edits which I haven't checked. You can't just copy whole paragraphs from copyrighted websites. Please don't. --Janneman (talk) 02:59, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
