... you were recipient no. 1186 of Precious, a prize of QAI! |
--Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:50, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
Thank you very much for taking this on. If you have any questions, ping me as I pretty much researched and wrote the article and I still have access to most of the sources (and, basically, I'm the one who can explain why something is in the article). I am not on as much as I would like to be at the moment because of some computer problems, but I can answer reasonably promptly.
(As a side note, I hope you are able to follow all the music theory in the article. It's a bit denser in that department than most of our song articles, because ... well, if you're familiar with the song you'll understand). Daniel Case (talk) 17:08, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
If you don't stop with the continuous non-stop battleground approach, I expect the next one will likely be indefinite. --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:24, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Request reason:
I'm not asking to be unblocked, because I know that won't happen. I'm asking that my duration of block be shortened because I think that the four weeks prescribed is excessive. I don't think it's fair that I received the same duration when I am rule abiding and don't flaunt the rules on a daily basis. I am a tirelessly contributing editor of nearly seven years. I've improved nearly a hundred articles, I revert vandalism on a daily basis, and I have reviewed hundreds of articles. I think four weeks is excessive for me and would actually do more harm than good. I would be happy to accept a two week block and I think that is a more appropriate duration of length for me. — Calvin999 23:39, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
Decline reason:
This is not how it works. If you understand why you were blocked and can convince us that the issues won't recur, you can be unblocked immediately. If you cannot do that, there's no reason to shorten the block. Huon (talk) 23:51, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the ((unblock)) template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:
It won't happen again because I have no desire to continue this interaction between MaranoFan. I shouldn't have wasted my time in the first place and I do not wish to be involved with it henceforth. Actions speak louder than words so all I can say is that nobody will see my name on her user talk anymore or editing anything directly involved with her. Hopefully she will do the same and we can edit without crossing paths. I have far too many other activities and projects that I am involved in to keep me busy which I should have focused on more in the last couple of weeks instead. — Calvin999 00:17, 23 April 2016 (UTC) Can the admin who reviews this also ask MaranoFan to stop pinging me from her user talk please. — Calvin999 12:58, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
Decline reason:
If this was an isolated incident I would be willing to unblock, however this is a long term pattern between you and MaranoFan. Your feuding is disruptive to the community and this block mostly for the community's benefit. This is a long block but if the battling continues it could end up being indefinite. You with need to learn to avoid each other or to work in peace. HighInBC 02:03, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Request reason:
I don't think the decline reason given previously in the second one addresses anything I said or has much to do with me. My request statement was about me and what I will do, but the decline reason was all about the other party. My request statement has to be about me and not others, which it was, so I think my unblock request should also be about me and what I've said I'll implement, not all about the other party involved. My request should be judged on my merit, not because me and the other party were block for the same thing; we are not linked or bound together. There is no feud. I don't have a feud. I have never had a feud with said user. That has all been misconstrued and misinterpreted and used as a scapegoat. It's not my actions which have been disruptive to the community, I just have to point that out. It's not me who has disregarded rules and policies. I don't need to "learn to avoid," I can and have done that straight off (It's not me who is pinging and discussing the other party from my talk while blocked, it's the other way around). So, I will re-iterate my previous statement again: I have no desire, wish or will to have any form of contact, discussion, or interaction with the other party on any part of Wikipedia. I am completely done with the whole situation and I shouldn't have ever bothered to try and get involved or help. I made that quite clear last time. — Calvin999 10:30, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
Decline reason:
To be frank, Floqenbeam was generous in only blocking you for a month; nobody but you would have challenged him if he'd made it indefinite. As has been pointed out to you on numerous occasions, your ridiculous fight is causing significant disruption to multiple editors, given that all four of you regularly forum-shop it to multiple venues causing it to clog the watchlists of every admin and every other editor who happens to have the noticeboards on their watchlist. This is now the third unblock request you've posted which is a variation of "but he hit me first!" and shows no indication that you even understand why you've been blocked. ‑ Iridescent 20:29, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the ((unblock)) template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Iridescent, once again, the decline reason doesn't address anything that I said. Of course I know why I've been blocked!! We aren't here in this request to debate why or how I was blocked, how it "clogs" watch lists etc; it won't change anything or solve anything. We are here for me to say why I think I should be unblocked. That's the whole point of an unblock request: going forward from where we are. You can speak for yourself in saying only I would contest an indefinite; I know for a fact that many others would contest it. This is not a variation of "but he hit me first!". When have I said that? I haven't implied that at all. The other party in her unblock request - which is still open to review - that she admitted that she wrong in her editing choices and that she would make an effort to read up on policies, rules and guidelines henceforth and has asked to be mentored in order to learn from previous mistakes and wrongdoings. I only ever reported lapses or ignorances in editing made by that party (such as introducing unsourced information deliberately), and so did others. I never posted negative, hateful or otherwise fighting messages on her user talk. I did, however, post helpful and constructive advice many times. I've said multiple times that I want no interaction, the other party has said she will not participate in interaction, too. What more do you want me to say or do? Neither of us want interaction, and neither does "every" admin or other editor that you mention want interaction either. — Calvin999 21:15, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Calvin. Would you mind leaving some comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Can't Hold Us Down/archive2 please? It's been over a month and there's only one comment. Much appreciated, Simon (talk) 13:34, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
Round 2 is over and 35 competitors have moved on to Round 3.
Round 2 saw three FAs (two by Cas Liber (submissions) and one by Montanabw (submissions)), four Featured Lists (with three by Calvin999 (submissions)), and 53 Good Articles (six by Worm That Turned (submissions) and five each by Hurricanehink (submissions), Cwmhiraeth (submissions), and MPJ-DK (submissions)).

Request reason:
It's been 10 days, and I am ready to be unblocked. I never meant to engage in a 'battle,' and I really didn't think I was at the time, but I now understand how it must have came across like that from the outside looking in. I've been out of the country and came back in that time, focused on real life and other things outside of Wikipedia, and I've forgotten about and moved on from what happened. I just want to get back to contributing to and improving Wikipedia, which is what I've loved doing for seven years. As I've said above and before, this won't happen again, and I guarantee that there won't be any interaction or communication from me. — Calvin999 15:29, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
Accept reason:
I'm going to take you at your word here. Wikipedia is a big place; I'm sure you and the others can find ways to contribute without engaging each other. Huon (talk) 23:21, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
On 13 May 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article I Am Tour (Leona Lewis), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the stage backdrop for Leona Lewis' I Am Tour was described by one critic as resembling "five strips of giant toilet paper"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/I Am Tour (Leona Lewis). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Glad to see you are back. I was wondering if you can revisit the review for the above and see if all were done per the GA review comments given? —IB [ Poke ] 11:03, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
hey, yeah, i addressed everything. you can check over it if you'd like. i never quite figured out how to get the chart boxes the same width -- i tried, to no avail, it looked strange. anyway. any other stuff you need let me know. Saginaw-hitchhiker (talk) 07:07, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
Forgive me for that, I failed to see that you didn't think it was even close. But then I looked at the GAN. Your review seems rather harsh. The list looks a bit long, but most of these are all small, easy fixes. Did you have a lot more things in mind, which maybe you didn't mention because you had so many? dannymusiceditor Speak up! 18:08, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
Oh, those sources you mentioned that were "unreliable" are also perfectly fine, please read WP:ALBUMS/SOURCES. This probably comes from your lack of experience within the genre you reviewed here. (Which is okay, I get it, maybe it's not your thing. But don't be so quick to flag them as unreliable.) dannymusiceditor Speak up! 18:26, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited (We All Are) Looking for Home, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Mirror. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hey Aaron! If you're not busy with other Wiki-activities, can you read Ride the Lightning and share your opinion at the FAC page? Appreciate your time and all the best.--Retrohead (talk) 13:14, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at I Am... Sasha Fierce, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Dan56 (talk) 19:31, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi there! My mean is not to bother you, but I was wondering if you could find time to comment on my FAC above and even support or oppose to it. Best regards, Cartoon network freak (talk) 11:52, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
Yo Calvin, can you please upload me a sample of the song from the 16 sec to the 34 sec mark? Feel free to ignore if you are busy. —IB [ Poke ] 13:00, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Calvin. I'm just posting to let you know that List of songs recorded by Adele – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for October 17. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008 (Talk) 20:19, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello Calvin999, I've just nominated the List of awards and nominations received by Kelly Clarkson to FL status. I hope you can review it and post your comments in the discussion page if you're available. Thanks! Chihciboy (talk) 20:39, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
Time article says "a hip-hop track, “Right Now,” " but IP from UK Special:Contributions/109.147.189.208 claimed that it's not a hip hop song. I guess not properly sourced. 123.136.111.222 (talk) 01:45, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
Hello! I have recently nominated List of songs recorded by Alyssa Milano for FL status. I was wondering if you can review it and post comments on the discussion page if you have time. I was wondering if you could help me with this FLC since you have promoted similar articles (List of songs recorded by X) to FLs. Thank you in advance either way. Aoba47 (talk) 00:24, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive behaviour. It appears you are purposefully harassing another editor. Wikipedia aims to provide a safe environment for its collaborators, and harassing other users potentially compromises that safe environment. If you continue behaving like this, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. Carbrera (talk) 02:48, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
Hey Calvin, can you please help keep an eye on Rockabye (song)? An IP editor has restored the page again even after being told it fails WP:NSONGS, claiming that one reference is "enough" and that if the page is redirected again, they will "treat it as vandalism". They appear to be the same IP/one of the IPs that restored Shout Out to My Ex before it charted. Thanks! Ss112 15:52, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
Hello! I apologize for asking you for help twice in a short amount of time, but I was wondering if you could do a quick review of the article that I have written/expanded for the single "No Time for It". I respect your work with music-related articles, especially with the featured article "S&M". I would love to get this article promoted to the status of FA someday in the very distant future (since it is a very recent song, I want to wait until all of the information about this song is established and the likelihood of new additions are lower). I have done some work with music-related articles in the past (primarily through the GAN process), but I was hoping that I could learn more about how to better approach and write this types of articles. I understand if you are either not interested or too busy. If you are too busy, then the title of this song would definitely be appropriate lol. Thank you either way. Aoba47 (talk) 17:45, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
Hey, why I can't put the link for music video of Umbrella? I put 3 times and ever is deleted! I really don't understand LikeGaga (talk) 12:38, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
Hey, I'm sorry for edit this but, why you deleted the article Music Of The Sun (song)? I was thinking in add mor informations about all Rihanna's song! But ever is deleted! — Preceding unsigned comment added by LikeGaga (talk • contribs) 15:47, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
Yeah! Now I see his unnecessary, but I was thinking in created article to all Rihanna's song but it's almost impossible cuz various songs don't have sufficient informations to have a article! I'm sorry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LikeGaga (talk • contribs) 13:36, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
But I can add more info in the articles? I put more informations in any articles (Pon De Replay, If It's Lovin' that You Want) but various articles need of more informations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LikeGaga (talk • contribs) 14:54, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
In future, please don't remove extra sources or revert me for doing it. I've heard every excuse under the sun from editors on Wikipedia, and "the peak is sourced earlier, Billboard updates later today anyway" is the most common. It does not matter when Billboard updates, that particular instance of the peak was unsourced. Every instance of a new peak on a page needs to be referenced, as using a single chart template that points to a page that HAS NOT UPDATED is misleading readers. There's no guarantee they even read any earlier section or saw the other reference. Please don't remove extra references again under the "rationale" that "it's referenced earlier". Information added to Wikipedia needs to be verifiable; it's the most basic policy. That's like saying that a section on an artist's discography page doesn't need to be referenced because there's references earlier on the page. It's not a valid reason.

This is the only time I'm going to ask you: Do not direct any, or any more, edit summaries at me. I added "Telepathy" to my watchlist and I go back to check, and the first thing I see is the summary "missed that one". You wrote on my talk page earlier to stop with the condescension, so take your own advice. I really don't think you meant you missed that one, because you had obviously seen that I corrected errors while you were gone. Stop with the incivility, the accusations and this grudge you think I have against you now because we argued on your talk page yesterday. Your edits really don't matter to me, nor does what you do on Wikipedia, but I don't like noticing things like this after being told to quit being "condescending" when I wasn't, then you go and blatantly do it to me. I also don't want to keep talking to you or really ever have contact with you again if I can avoid it, so stop providing reasons to and please move on. I'll edit the page when I want, and so can you. Nobody owns it; nobody has a claim over it. It's time to act like an adult about it. Ss112 16:04, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
Greetings, all! We would like to announce the start of the 4th GA Cup, a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of Good article nominations! Thus far, there have been three GA Cups, which were successful in reaching our goals of significantly reducing the traditionally long queue at GAN, so we're doing it again. Currently, there are over 400 nominations listed. We hope that we can again make an impact this time. The 4th GA Cup will begin on November 1, 2016. Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on February 28, 2017), but this may change based on participant numbers. We may take a break in December for the holidays, depending on the results of a poll of our participants taken shortly after the competition begins. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same, as will the scoring. Sign-ups for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on November 14, 2016. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the judges. Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase. We apologize for the delay in sending out this message until after the competition has started. Thank you to Krishna Chaitanya Velaga for aiding in getting this message out. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletters, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

Calvin999, I wanted to remind you that your individual reassessment of this article is still open; there haven't been any edits made to respond to the issues you raised.
In addition, the article is currently the subject of a DYK nomination due to it having been made a GA; the nomination has been put on hold pending the outcome of your reassessment.
If you wish to keep it open longer, it's up to you, but it would be nice to know your plans in that case. Thanks for opening the reassessment. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:54, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
I'm ready to leave this period of disputes/reverts behind us if you are. I have never followed your edits, and don't intend to. I'm sorry if you took my reverting you twice earlier as a provocation, but I just wanted to point out the thing about accessdates—which is not to say you didn't know how—in one way or another. So just to politely ask, if you update any kind of peaks on articles in future, can you please update accessdates and source each claim of a new peak on an article? That's all. Thank you. Happy editing to you too, I guess. Ss112 15:40, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Calvin999.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
The article Telepathy (Christina Aguilera song) you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Telepathy (Christina Aguilera song) for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Passion (Utada Hikaru song), an article that you or your project may be interested in, has been nominated for a community good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article.
Hi @Calvin999: I'm not sure if this is what I'm supposed to do with community reassessment messages (it said I have to send a small message to user talk pages for help?), but knowing that you've dealt with music articles in the past, I would like your assistance if that is okay. I have submitted this page above for a community-based reassessment and I am wanting your help with anything. For more info, visit the page above.

Greetings, GA Cup competitors! November 28, 2016 was supposed to mark the end of the first round. However, we needed 16 competitors to move on, and currently only 10 have completed articles. Thus, the judges have come together to let the participants decide what we shall do. Please complete this quick survey to let us know whether you would like a holiday break. There will be two options for what we will do next in terms of Round 2 depending on the results of this poll.
We apologize for sending out this newsletter late. Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase!

On 14 December 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Telepathy (Christina Aguilera song), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Christina Aguilera self-produced a 96-second music video for "Telepathy" as a gift to her fans as the song rose to number-one on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Telepathy (Christina Aguilera song). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

On 1 January 2017, WikiCup 2017 (the 10th Annual WikiCup) will begin. This year we are trying something a little different – monetary prizes.
For the WC2017 the prizes will be as follows (amounts are based in US$ and will be awarded in the form of an online Amazon gift certificate):
Note: Monetary prizes are a one-year experiment for 2017 and may or may not be continued in the future. In order to be eligible to receive any of the prizes above, the competing Wikipedia account must have a valid/active email address.
After two years as a WikiCup judge, Figureskatingfan is stepping down. We thank her for her contributions as a WikiCup judge. We are pleased to announce that our newest judge is two-time WikiCup champion Cwmhiraeth.
The judges for the 2017 WikiCup are Godot13 (talk · contribs · email), Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), and Sturmvogel 66 (talk · contribs · email).
Signups are open now and will remain open until 5 February 2017. You can sign up here.

Hi. I've seen your arguments against singer-songwriter on both Mariah's pages and Ed Sheeran's. It also was on Madonna's pages but per the discussion on Mariah's talk page, I was sort of inspired to change it to singer and songwriter. Have you ever thought of taking the discussion to RfC? If Mariah and Madonna can't have it, neither should Ed. The way it sounds on the article is like "singer-songwriter" was an era for certain singers. It's a thin line though and divides people. I would be interested in getting a consensus on this. I have to commend you on your talking points, by the way. --Jennica✿ / talk 03:16, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

On 17 March 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Scared of the Dark, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Free Radio presenter Andy Goulding thought that "Scared of the Dark" by Steps should have been the United Kingdom's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2017? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Scared of the Dark. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Calvin, you are now following to other articles to "confront or inhibit [my] work", which falls under WP:WIKIHOUNDING. As long as you don't look at my contributions or direct summaries at me, I have no more reason to post here. I have never followed you to another article, and you just blatantly did this to me. I will report you to an admin if this harassment and Wikihounding goes any further. Please do not look at my edits to follow me elsewhere. Ss112 09:42, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi - just drawing your attention to this - new hook needed if it's not to be pulled. Thanks, Black Kite (talk) 21:48, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
On 21 April 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tears on the Dancefloor, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Steps' fifth studio album, Tears on the Dancefloor, is their first album in 17 years to consist mostly of original material? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tears on the Dancefloor. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

The second round of the competition has now closed, with just under 100 points being required to qualify for round 3. YellowEvan just scraped into the next round with 98 points but we have to say goodbye to the thirty or so competitors who didn't achieve this threshold; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Our top scorers in round 2 were:
Vivvt submitted the largest number of DYKs (30), and MBlaze Lightning achieved 13 articles at ITN. Carbrera claimed for 11 GAs and Argento Surfer performed the most GARs, having reviewed 11. So far we have achieved 38 featured articles and a splendid 132 good articles. Commendably, 279 GARs have been achieved so far, more than double the number of GAs.
So, on to the third round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
