Britney's music is urban. Have you heard In the Zone is what she wanted to do. Charmed36 7 September 2006
That is the direction she has moved towards and will continue.
Yes, it was on a special on E! television called Britney Spears and she did not want to be a teen star anymore. It is not reliable because it is a television source.
Just to let you know, the Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Tables for charts style guideline stipulates the use of the "wikitable" format with no background colour, and not ((tablabonita)) with #CCCCCC. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 17:53, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
==Charts== ((col-begin)) ((col-2)) <!-- first block of charts --> ((col-2)) <!-- second block of charts --> ((col-end))
That was a strange edit. You can learn probably more than you ever want to know about reverting edits at Wikipedia:Revert... but the simple version is 1) go to the article's history page 2) click on the version in the history that was the best previous version of the article 3) edit that version directly by hitting the edit link -- you'll get a warning that you're editing an old version 4) save (you don't need to change anything in the edit field). Happy editing... Jkelly 18:25, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Actually, "like" shouldn't be capitalised, because it is a preposition in this context. If the album's title was I Like Home, then yes, "like" would be capitalised; see wiktionary:like. It's all very complicated :/. Extraordinary Machine 13:16, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

For your extensive work reconstructoring Stacie Orrico, I award you the Barnstar of High Culture! --lovelaughterlife♥ (user|talk) 22:53, 24 November 2006 (UTC) |
I see you put the pop genre back on "And I". I have been disputing with myself if it is a pop song. I had it there for a while then took it off. I'm not sure. Charmed36 22:17, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Hey... just thought I'd let you know that I've moved your RM from "controversial" to "uncontroversial", as the name Downtown (Emma Bunton song) is consistent with other song articles on Wikipedia, so it can be "speedy" moved! ;-) robwingfield «T•C» 16:03, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
I really don't even think you are fully reading the version you keep changing it to. There are many sections that are poorly written and redundant. The changes that were made on the version you keep reverting it from make the most sense. No ones reverting just because. All the info is the same just better formatted so that it follows the pattern set by the rest of the article. Studio albums have sections dedicated to them, while all non-studio albums are talked about in the section of whatever album era they came out in. Mary's Reflections album is NOT a studio album and shouldn't be treated as though it is. It is a in between album project just like her two remix albums and live album and none of them have they're own section. Try reading things first before you change them and stop looking at the fact that its just different than the last version you saw. Work with people for the betterment of articles not against them.

Just a short note letting you know I've reverted you changes on The Soul Sessions, because they were moving away from WP:MOS and WP:ALBUM. See specifically about using headers instead of bolding, about using ndashes, and about marking up ordered lists properly. It looks like you basically reverted all the changes I made to the version you last edited. I don't want to start a revert war, just point out why I made the changes I did. Have a nice day. --PEJL 05:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I supplied this reference [1] on some pages but not the Joss Stone article; maybe it should go there too. This is the official web page of the Liberal Judaism movement so it should be a good source.--Newport 11:31, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Err :)...you don't need to uncapitalise the first part of a piped link, because it makes no difference to how it appears on the article or whether it leads to the right page:
Thanks for re-adding the pop music bit, though; some people seem to be under the impression that Carey sings exclusively R&B. Extraordinary Machine 21:50, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I added the template to Beyoncé because part of the edit history is at Beyoncé Knowles and it needs to be fixed; the only way to do this is by temporarily deleting the Beyoncé article. Thanks!
P.S. - this is an IP, but you already know me; you could say I'm a little crazy :). 80.0.72.76 20:04, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
You said: "Hi! As I have seen, you really know about images stuff. So, I'd like to upload one of these images for Joss Stone's article, but I'm not really sure how to do it. Would you mind helping me out?"
Stop adding that Joss Stone single to the Common template. That template is reserved for singles found on Common albums, or otherwise released under his name. The song that you keep adding belongs in a Joss Stone template. 69.249.82.243 19:38, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for adding an article on the album It's a Man's Man's Man's World. You created the album article in the namespace previously occupied by the song "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" which is contained by the album. I don't want to be contentious, but in the cases of James Brown's albums which were named for one of his hit songs, the songs have generally been much more famous and durable than the albums named for them. In this case, the song "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" has been reissued on numerous compilation CDs and recorded by a number of other performers, while the album It's a Man's Man's Man's World, according to its All Music Guide article, has never been reissued since its 1966 vinyl release (except in Japan). For that reason I think it is best to try and have the songs in the unadorned namespace and add the suffix "(album)" to the namespace of the album of the same name. In this case I renamed the album article with the suffix and redirected the namespace "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" to the article on the song. I similarly altered the other redirects that were pointed at the original namespace (redirects, especially double redirects, need to be changed when a page is moved). I believe this setup will be more useful to people looking for information on the song "It's a Man's Man's Man's World", who are likely to greatly outnumber those looking for information on the album (although a disambiguation page with links to both song and album at the original page would also be okay).
Thank you for creating the album article and I hope this seems reasonable. Feel free to write me back. InnocuousPseudonym 23:25, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Greetings! I saw where you had blanked Sweetiest Fruit in da South and replaced it with a ((db-nonsense)) tag. Ultimately I wound up deleting the article. However, by blanking the article without more explanation, it initially appeared to be an act of vandalism on your part! Only after I reverted your edit and read the article did I realize the situation.
A better approach would have been to delete all of the article save the one changed lead sentence with an edit summary saying "Deleting content copied directly from Kelis Was Here," then tag it with a speedy-deletion tag. And alternative would have been to tag it ((db|Nonsense article - copied wholesale from [[Kelis Was Here]]))
. Again, the key is, go ahead and tell the administrators exactly what the problem is—and if you're deleting the text, what your objection is.
Again, thank you for your work to clean up articles and spot problems like this. —C.Fred (talk) 20:52, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi again. I see you are removing "Misc = " from album infoboxes. Please don't do that, see WP:ALBUM#Misc. --PEJL 20:18, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi! You can read WT:NPOV#POV in first sentence? for a rather lengthy discussion on the matter, but in a nutshell, terms such as "[award]-winning" and the like, particularly when placed at the very beginning of an article, have positive connotations and imply a positive POV of the subject — that's why, for example, those terms are used frequently in press releases from the artist's management or label. This doesn't necessarily mean notable awards and other achievements shouldn't be mentioned anywhere in a lead — for example, with the Joss Stone article, it could be written as "[Joss Stone] is an English soul, R&B, and blues singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. She has won x BRIT Awards and y Grammy Awards, and has sold over ten million albums worldwide." Hope that helps!

Yeah sure I don't mind. Thanks! Daniil Maslyuk 02:56, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Well I apologize for my misconception for a second I was about to get upset because she is American. lol Do you know the category for multiracial people because I would like to correct some mistakes I have made in another article?? She in particular has expressed great pride in her multiracial background and I applaud her for having the backbone to do what so few famous people do. Thank you
