Puzzled

If you kept removing non-free images I uploaded in the past to the "Roar" article, how come you reverted my removal of non-free images there and on "Dark Horse"? I'm quite puzzled.....

XXNUG, the ones you uploaded before did not have a non-free use rationale which is of utmost importance in non-free using images and sounds. These images which you removed have those rationale and is being discussed in the article. If you believe that they are not passing NFCC criteria, you should nominate it for deletion as guided here, rather than remove them from article. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 14:48, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Lady Gaga

but it is noot "as of now," the sixth best selling song, wouldn't it be better if wikipedia didn't contradict itself?

FLC favor!

Hey IndianBio! How are you? Dealing with problematic users, I see... If you have some trouble with them and I do not see it, just ping me. Anyway, I would like for you to do me I favor. I nominated Jake Gyllenhaal filmography for featured list; do you have some spare time to read it and comment on its FLC? I would be very grateful. Cheers! — Tomíca(T2ME) 13:34, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks @Tomica:. Would love to comment on the FLC. Will do it tomorrow if that's fine with you. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 13:37, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

ARTPOP Critical Reception

Seeing as how we've had issues with STATic in the past (converting the Venus (Lady Gaga song) page to one of a promotional single was a chore), I thought I'd bring the issue to your attention. The consensus listed on the ARTPOP page is factually inaccurate; Metacritic is the only source that those who argue for the "mixed to positive" consensus are willing to cite, even though Metacritic forms a conglomerate of reviews for the sole purpose of using them to form a weighted, calculated score and consensus. In the matter of this album, the consensus is "generally favorable". You've brought up the fact that there are more mixed reviews listed on the cite, but I'd like to combat that statement with multiple points: 1) Focusing on the number of categorical reviews is overly simplistic; It doesn't tell the whole story. It's also not the approach that Metacritic, the source where this information is coming from, adheres to. Picking and choosing information from a source and ignoring others doesn't make any sense. 2)Even if you were to go by the standard of focusing on the number of reviews in each category (again, an act that Metacritic, the source being cited, does do practice), twelve of the reviews that are listed as "mixed" are literally one percentage point below being listed as entirely positive and cannot simply be passed off as mixed. They consist mostly of 3/5 star or 3 and a half/5 star reviews, otherwise known as positive reviews with reservations. If those reviews are discounted, the vast majority that STATic has been claiming to exist in the mixed section evaporates. 3) You stated that "people who follow music related news can simply blurt it out for you", referring to the idea that the consensus is mixed; I realize that gossip sites and the blogosphere has had a field day with the dip in critical acclaim for Gaga (it's always fun to tear down those on top, I guess), but you can't go by what gossip sites say; yes, the acclaim is less than her previous works, but the trend is still generally positive, as proven by the consensus listed on Metacritic and the consensus reported by an actually credible journal (the Huffington Post source I listed on the ARTPOP talk page that states that the consensus was positive from the multitude of critics that they sourced and linked to). As dealers of fact, it is our job to ignore the noise of the blogosphere and report on what is sourced and provable; in this case, the critical consensus is generally positive. There has been some talk that I'd like the consensus to simply read "positive", but that's not the case. I recognize that the reaction has been more ambivilant than her previous works, and have advocated for a disclaimer being listed after the (sourced and factual) consensus of "generally positive". The reception page should read that the album "recieved generally positive reviews, although the response was much more ambivalent in comparison to Gaga's previous work", as this addresses the obvious issues that users have raised as well as reports the consensus as it truly is according to sourced fact. I'd very much like your help on righting this issue as you seem to recognize that STATic has a generally domineering personality and doesn't like his authority questioned (as evidenced by the multiple complaints on his talk page) and has ignored the facts in lieu of his own synthesized narrative based on his own research, which violates the WP:OR guidelines. Reece Leonard (talk) 17:48, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello @Reece Leonard: thanks for the wonderful analysis. Don't worry about Static as he/she is simply a nobody when you are editing in lieu of Wikipedia guidelines. Now about this critical reception issue, I think the best thing now is to go for WP:RFC. I did a similar thing previously regarding the listing of "Venus" and "Dope" as official singles against their promo status, and well, Static lost the appeal. So don't think that just because someone tries to act all mighty and plays the "senior editor" card, that your logic will go unnoticed. I think a bigger venue is needed. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 17:56, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for pointing me in that direction. I'll definitely open up an appeal. If you do agree with the evidence I've cited above, feel free to make a short post in the ARTPOP talk page saying so, as that would further erode his case. Could you direct me to the forum in which you voiced your opinions on the "Venus" and "Dope" pages? Reece Leonard (talk) 20:24, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
The instructions at Wikipedia:Requests for comment will give you all details as to how to raise the comment. Once you have raised it, I will comment there. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 05:04, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

@IndianBio: I know you want to wait and see what other people post in the thread first, but I've seen other disussions shut down because one of the participants didn't choose to list a summary. Would you be willing to give your summary? Reece Leonard (talk) 21:04, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
@IndianBio: Could you please step in at the RFC? I'm now fighting off two users (one who's admitted they dislike the artist at hand and another who's apparently been accused of bias multiple times) who are refusing to listen to reason. Reece Leonard (talk) 00:38, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

@IndianBio: I would revert this edit myself if I wasn't banned from Gaga pages (sidenote: thank you for be a voice of sanity on that ridiulous administrative board and stating that banning me from Gaga pages was unwarrented), but someone has gone back and changed the critical reception again on the ARTPOP page.

Mate I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. I have enough sources for a separate article for the OST to Dedh Ishqiya. Should I create one or keep in the parent article? I am confused so need your opinion. – Soham (talk) 15:11, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
@Soham: does it pass WP:NALBUMS for a standalone article? —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 15:13, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
Then I think we can split the article @Soham:. Mind you, do you have the recording info from the album booklet? That will create a much better background and recording information for the article. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 15:40, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Madonna (album)

Hi IndianBio,

It's at WP:RFD with a disambiguation at Erotica (album). It's a tricky one because to me the thing is it is WP:TWODABS and can be dealt with by hatnoting the two, but there is a third at the DAB at Erotica (disambiguation) but Erotica (album) is a redirect to the Albums sectionof that DAB, and a redirect to a section of a DAB is a bit unusual. I am sure you have a better knowledge than I do on this, and perhaps you could contribute to the discussion at WP:RFD as I think it is a tricky one to deal with appropriately. I certainly noticed the GA status and did not want to do anything to disrupt that. Si Trew (talk) 10:42, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

I think Erotica (album) would be a perfect hatnote. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 10:57, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
The problem is Erotica (album) if you look at it is an {{R to section}} and it is unusual to redirect to a section of a DAB, either redirect to the whole DAB or create another DAB, since that would only have two entries to the two blue link entires for the two albums and perhaps the third for the Peruvian jazzman then that really doesn't deserve a DAB so it is quite a bind. People searching for things should be able to find them and my ultimate judgement is does this make it easier or harder for someone to find? I am not saying I am always right, just that is where I make my judgement and absolutely correct to bring it for discussion. Si Trew (talk) 12:22, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Inappropriate edit summary

IndianBio, calling TheRedPenOfDoom a "loser for consensus" as you did here comes off as quite inappropriate and can easily be taken as an insult. Please don't make edit summaries like that again, and don't just removal requests for protection for such reasons as the one you listed. That is all. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 07:37, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

@XXSNUGGUMSXX: I did not mean to call him loser, its my autocorrect which did it, I meant to type "Just because you have lost at consensus...." and suddenly the autocorrect and saved it. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 07:38, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

The Red Pen of Doom

My hatred for his actions is growing deeper and deeper, and I don't know why he threatened Krimuk on his talk page (an action u gratefully undid). Does the time look good enough to report him? If yes, I think u can do it as my previous two attempts at blocking him have failed. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:45, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

He compared the release of a film to the birth of a child. LOL! How ridiculous is that? And do you realise, he has a few statements that he makes which stands the test of time. :P He has been rattling off the same string of shit for days now, without even bothering to read what the other person has written. And thanks Indian Bio for the revert on my talk page. Much appreciated. :) -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 16:43, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
File ANI. Shit's getting out of hand. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 17:37, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
@Lukeno94:, may I know your reasoning for all the disruptions the particular user has been doing the last few months? You think that users are supposed to take someone with ridiculous claims and utter day light disruption of WP:CONSENSUS seriously at all? Personal attack? Just because Krimuk said he has been rattling the same shit? Newsflash, he has. Luke, sorry to say but sometimes I think people should really up the tolerance level. We are all contributors here trying to build an encyclopedia professionally, while one rampant user does what he/she feels like, disregarding WP:CONSENSUS, disregarding WP:V, disregarding WP:RS, disregarding WP:MOS (the list can continue). Its like the pink elephant in the room. Coming to your concern about tag teaming. Just because editors have been dragged through this whole fiasco and their time has been wasted like anything and they are planning to move to ANI, they are suddenly conspirators? Lukeno, I'm not aware how much you are enlightened with the issue, believe me, no one is even remotely interested with TRPoD and his/her WP:IDHT tactics. So 2003. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 18:14, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
  • I'm not looking to debate the issue at hand, but I was just warning you that what you are trying to do is a bad idea. Tag-team ANIs, where the tag-team have shown their hand and intentions very publicly, rarely end up going the way the tag-team want. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 18:20, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
  • And here in lies my comments for your warning, @Lukeno94:. Who exactly is "tag-teaming" here? The section begins with user Kailash expressing his disappointment and frustration about the disruptive user, where I replied that "He's moving towards his own doom anyways", meaning the block is eminent on his own head. Next Krimuk90 talked about some ridiculous (disturbing nonetheless) examples the user has been sprouting and laughed it off. I would say he did the exact same thing TRPoD has been doing. I replied, after sometime, to file the ANI, because some other issue which I'm sure you are not aware off judging by your barging in. Let me assure you, no one has enough time to tag-team against an user who's every claim has surpassed the known level of disruptions crossing which is AIV or ANI. Good night. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 18:28, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for your concern Luke. I am not sure how you could have seen anything similar from me in a previous ANI, because I have never reported or commented about him there, and I don't intend to either if he agrees to co-operate. There is no "tag-teaming" to get him blocked, but an avenue to vent our frustration when someone is openly flouting consensus. But yes, it is very heartwarming to see someone stick out for TRPoD. I am sure he will appreciate it. Cheers! -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 01:37, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
  • I can't remember who I've seen teaming up in ANIs against TRPoD, but I know I've seen IndianBio there, and I've seen Kailash involved in TRPoD-related arguments. Whilst I may not agree with all of TRPoD's methods, I generally agree with their position, since that is generally one of rejecting original research and/or unsourced edits. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 15:19, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
Yes, he does a lot of good work, but in this case he has gotten it wrong, which is fine. We can't win all our battles, right? See this long discussion; everyone has objected to his string of edits we are currently at war on. -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 15:27, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
For the last time Lukeno94, we are not interested in what great work TRPoD has been doing, he has been disrupting the filmography tables for a long time and if he continues against consensus, he faces block. Simple. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 06:21, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

...for some copy-edit on Something to Remember :) Anyway, I've just found an interesting article written by Bruce Baron for Goldmine magazine in 1999 (trascripted by buysellmadonna.com). It wrote much about Madonna's songwriting history from the very beginning of her career. She was actually recruited as a drummer in the Breakfast Club in 1979, not a vocalist or guitarist.

Hey, look at this, with that publication issue numbers, we no longer need an active link to use it here. By the way, I want to share you my trick of finding sources. This fansite news archive is really useful. For example, take a look at the section "30 November - Magazine fined for misleading title" on that fansite link, you see the source is Ananova (already deadlink of course), and then go to http://archive.org/web/ and copy-paste that dead link.... and we got it! God bless the person who created wayback Machine :D Unfortunately, mad-eyes.net started in 2001. If they made this fansite in the 1990s, we could have got a lot of useful information for Bedtime Stories and Ray of Light. Bluesatellite (talk) 18:42, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
@Bluesatellite: but what if some user wants us to send them scans from the magazine? I believe the general perception is that when I add a magazine link without an internet version, I must be holding a copy of that magazine in my hand. By the way, thanks for the links, they are really useful. I did use some of them in the "Die Another Day" article which recently passed GA. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 03:53, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

About #SELFIE

Hi, IndianBio. I am Anony03271991. Firstly, I would like to say that I am very impressed with your extensive edit history. That being said, I would like to discuss with you the article of "#SELFIE" (Selfie (song)) and explain my edits.

Okay so firstly, you wrote under "Commercial performance":
In the United Kingdom, "Selfie" debuted at number 115 on the UK Singles Chart and moved to number 42 the next week.[5] The song debuted on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs at No. 19 with "Selfie". With uncredited vocals by Alexis Killacam, the track bows with 9,000 downloads sold (up 250%), according to Nielsen SoundScan, and has passed 1 million YouTube views since its Jan. 29 posting. The single has peaked at number 28 on the US Billboard Hot 100, while also charting in Belgium, Netherlands and Sweden.[6][7][8][1][9][10][11]

You are saying that I added unsourced content, yet if you look on Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, you will find that the song has peaked at #5: http://www.billboard.com/charts/dance-electronic-songs. I will admit that I was in the wrong for deleting the references that were already there. Meanwhile, Alexis Killacam has already been mentioned and the YouTube viewing figures (which stand at 17 million) should go under the music video section, which should not mention how much it is gaining momentum on pop radio in Dallas. [Edit: I also thought I'd make it concise by shortening it to "it has charted throughout Europe" providing it has actually done that].

Again, I would like to apologize for deleting the references that were already there. I am seriously not here to make waves. I just want to do my thing while, of course, following the guidelines of Wikipedia.

Thank you and you have a nice day. :D

@Anony03271991: thanks for understanding why your edit was reverted. The chart peaks will be updated shortly, The Chainsmokers don't have a Billboard chart history page yet so that needs to be created as well. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 06:40, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

New RIAA certification?

Just before I redo an edit and get reverted again, I think it's best I discuss my edit to Roar. As per this RIAA article, a platinum award is given on shipping 1,000,000 units. So wouldn't 6x platinum mean shipments of 6,000,000 units? If I'm wrong, then what is the new threshold? --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 12:13, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

@WonderBoy1998:, No, per RIAA, now streaming are included as part of the certification. Hence although "Roar" sold 5M +, her streaming resulted in another 1 M to be added to get the 6 million certification. Check out songs like "Bad Romance" and "We Found Love" and their US certifications. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 14:05, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
Oh, now I get it. Thanks for the explanation --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 14:34, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

You wanna pop over there and let me know if there is anything to be done? Thanks STATic message me! 06:54, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello STATic, I have responded there. Sorry the page somehow slipped from my watchlist. —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 07:05, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

"Sexxx Dreams"

Also, given the confusion with the other (misspelled) "Sexxx Dreans" article, I went ahead and created a stub for "Sexxx Dreams". I don't think this is problematic since the song has charted. --Another Believer (Talk) 15:27, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

@Another Believer:, grrrrrr, one step at a time please. I have to overwork now. :( —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 15:39, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
OK, sorry. I understand. In this case, I just wanted to differentiate "Sexxx Dreans" from "Sexxx Dreams" so the contributor could add to the right page. Thanks. --Another Believer (Talk) 15:56, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
@Another Believer:, was pulling your legs —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 15:59, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
Between the overworking and leg pulling, be careful not to hurt yourself! --Another Believer (Talk) 16:00, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
Yes yes of course, you still know that ArtRave is yet to be finished. :( —Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 16:01, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
