IP 174.105.229.205
There are a couple problems here. First, the two warnings are stale. The most recent is over a year old. That said, IMO they have evinced a pattern of disruptive editing that is enough for an immediate block. Secondly, you note that they are using multiple IP addresses which suggests the block is likely to be ineffective unless it's a rangeblock. I'd need a few of the other IPs to be able to gauge whether that would be possible. I took a look at the/24 range on this IP and didn't see anything outside of the specific IP that was likely connected. If we are talking about a handful of pages that are being routinely targeted I might consider protecting them. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:13, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ad Orientem: Yeah, they've used a variety of IP addresses, not all within 174.xxx.xxx.xxx. Last week they used 2607:FCC8:FA06:5700:FDFB:ADD5:5A39:7F66, and there have been others that are IPv6 as well. And there'd be far too many articles to protect, they're all country artists' pages and discography articles or whoever happens to chart on the country charts. Ss11201:19, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing in all Billboard chart history pages
hi! Ss112, Could you explain why is nothing in all Billboard chart history pages ?? Recently I found all artists's chart history disappear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.26.153.24 (talk) 10:00, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@114.26.153.24: We (meaning I and other users I've informed on Wikipedia talk:Record charts) don't know why. Billboard did this a few months ago too. It might have something to do with the paywall they've put up on their site. Ss11215:38, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@114.26.167.92: Not fully, Billboard is still claiming another chart is being shown, for example Madonna's Billboard 200 chart history (https://www.billboard.com/music/madonna/chart-history/billboard-200) says it's the "Hot 100" chart at the top when it's clearly not, and clicking "More Chart History" at the bottom leads to Hot 100 peaks or whatever "HSI" (as shown in the URL) is/stands for.

I’m sorry for reverting your edit on the Amaral page! I didn’t mean anything shady by it, it just seemed like the quickest way to put the link back once I had gotten around to making the article. I don’t do that many edits to Wikipedia, so I don’t always know the right way of doing things, but I should have realised that it would come across as rude to ‘undo’ you. Sorry again!

@Ganbaruby: The Japan Hot 100 can be found at http://www.billboard-japan.com/charts/detail?a=hot100, and you can select the chart dates (which mirror Oricon's) from the bar at the top. Of course, as Oricon's main charts don't take digital sales into account, you might find this group have not charted (with all the acts incorporated) on the all-format Japan Hot 100, as I've found with several acts I've gone looking for after having seen them on Oricon's charts. Also, I noticed there is no other group called Cyber (at least, with an article)—you could move the article to "Cyber (group)" if you wanted. Ss11209:21, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply. I looked through the lists and didn't find CY8ER in them, like you said. As for the article title, I think I'll keep it as is, since "group" is a little vague to disambituate . ◢ Ganbaruby! (talk to me)20:20, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ganbaruby: Per WP:NCMDAB, it will be moved sooner or later by somebody whether you do it or not. We don't add unnecessary descriptions like "American" to a disambiguator if there's no reason for it/our personal feelings on the matter/no other group with that name with an article.

@Ad Orientem: Hey AO, a Spanish IP address (who's now used at least two unique ones) keeps coming back to spam me with gibberish and now Spanish insults because I asked for Memories (Maroon 5 song) to be protected and they're upset that they can't edit it. Is there anything you can do? Looks like they don't care that I reverted them multiple times yesterday asking them to not post here. Ss11216:23, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
So I have encountered several chart positions under the Monitor Latino umbrella, I have seen on wiki template single charts the ones that are okay to use are the Colombia, Venezuela and mexico ones. Nevertheless, how about other countries such as Paraguay, Argentina, Panama and others? On the same note, are their year-end-lists reliable? I'm asking you as you are always editing charts and top postions so you many be more familiar with this matter.
@MarioSoulTruthFan: Well, I see that WP:OKAYCHARTS does point out Monitor Latino's Mexican charts are allowed, but I don't see why this wouldn't apply to all charts Monitor Latino publishes. If the chart for Mexico published by Monitor Latino is acceptable to use, I assume the rest are too, and I've yet to see a compelling reason as to why not. While I don't personally add or really take much notice of the Latin American charts Monitor Latino publishes, and I think their use is sloppy across most chart articles, I haven't seen any real objections to their use.

@IVORK: I know how to conduct a page swap, as I do it myself when I'm not involved, but given past incidents I have witnessed in the music sphere of Wikipedia, it is considered improper for a user to move pages if they have created them themselves. I am sure there are certain users who would object to my moving their redirect out of the way if I had just started an article myself. So I ask an admin or request at RM/TR to have it "approved" per se. Regardless, thank you for moving the page. Ss11207:54, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ad Orientem: I thought they do run checks on IPs, but just do not disclose the results because they don't want to tie an IP address to an editor for privacy reasons? Ss11204:24, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In my experience CUs don't run requested checks on specific IPs. W/o some idea of who they are supposed to be it would look like a fishing expedition. And if we have an idea of who they are then they couldn't act w/o compromising the user's IP which is a no no. -Ad Orientem (talk) 04:32, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
For the upcoming album that soon to be announced in the coming weeks and also part of an two month campaign for Target, it’s not even being sent to radio or least getting pushed HengeBoy (talk) 16:33, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@HengeBoy: You don't know an album is going to be announced; nobody does, as there has been no news of this. There's also no confirmation of it being on this album you're referring to. It's too early to say if it's going to be pushed to radio or not. Most of the time, radio releases are not announced the day the song is released. Please take these concerns to Talk:I Feel Love and make sure to back up what you're saying with sources. Thank you. Ss11216:36, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The covers are literally like the DWAS & HDYS covers.. it’s gonna be in the album, HDYS is still being heavily pushed on Radio and other streaming platforms and it’s not in Spotify’s TTH playlist right now, it really not going to be sent to radio.. - HengeBoy (talk) 17:00, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your revert on the more recent work, but overall the article has a lot of puffery, which is where I was coming from. The article is a bit listly, treats the new stuff with equal weight as the old stuff, and don't think it does justice to such a seminal composer/producer. Anyway, thats my take.

Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible for you to create a page for the new Christmas single, ‘One I’ve Been Missing’ being released by Little Mix. I don’t feel that I personally have the best skills for this so I decided to contact you. Obviously it’s no problem if not, I understand that you contribute a lot so may not have the time.
Okay, but what about Jessica Mauboy’s Selfish? I heard it on the radio recently and most songs on radio are notable. I remember the reason the page was deleted was only because it had horrible sources. Would that work? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CheatCodes4ever (talk • contribs) 06:36, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@CheatCodes4ever: Again, not really notable. It hasn't charted and probably won't, and I don't see really any sources for it from a search, so would most likely fail WP:NSONGS. Not every song played on the radio is notable, and it depends what radio station you're listening to anyway. For instance, BBC Radio 1 plays a bunch of dance and electronic songs that I quite like but haven't charted and haven't received much coverage despite them playing the songs multiple times. It doesn't make them notable. Ss11206:50, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Just one more thing. If Cheat Codes’s debut EP, Level 1 is notable enough, I’d suggest that. If not, I’d also suggest their song “I Love It” because it charted in US Dance and peaked at number 40. If either of those work, I’d like you to try them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CheatCodes4ever (talk • contribs) 06:59, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@CheatCodes4ever: Please remember to sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~). Also, to be quite blunt, my talk page is not an article creation service. I rarely, if ever, would start an article just because somebody asked me to here; only if I had thought about it already and thought it was notable would I do so, hence the thread above this, as I had thought about making that article already. I don't think Cheat Codes' debut EP is notable, and number 40 on a 50-place component US dance chart is nothing major. That song doesn't have much news coverage on it either. Sorry, I just don't think most of these ideas you have are for substantial releases. Ss11207:14, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
One question, can you create a page for Real Blondes? She released a hit in 2000 “I Won’t Let Go” and I know it’s a hit because it’s in So Fresh: The Hits of Spring 2000 — Preceding unsigned comment added by CheatCodes4ever (talk • contribs) 03:02, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Is the editing correct?
I honestly thought on Wikipedia you were supposed to write the single date on the infobox but in Camila Cabello’s Never Be The Same, I wrote the single date for the second time after someone changed it, and someone changed it back to the other thing and said what I’m doing is “vandalism”. I don’t believe this. The user is being blocked but not for that reason, for sockpuppeting Reasons. I want to know if this user is wrong or not. Also, I request the page for DNCE’s Body Moves should be deleted because it failed to reach the Billboard Hot 100. CheatCodes4ever (talk) 07:32, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Also by the way, I don’t know how to do that thing you told me to do without signing. I don’t think it’s on the device I’m using, I’m using an iPad.
@CheatCodes4ever: I'm quite sure iPads would have tildes somewhere. Anyway, Camila Cabello's "Never Be the Same" was digitally released as a single in December 2017; you changed it to the date of radio release, which does not (always) mark the earliest date of release, which should be shown in the infobox per Template:Infobox song. I wouldn't particularly pay much attention to what Billiekhalidfan says anyway, because as you pointed out, they have been indefinitely blocked now for using multiple accounts while blocked. Some editors use "vandalism" as a catch-all term to describe changes they don't agree with despite the edits not being vandalism; we can point out that this is incorrect, but can't stop them from doing so. These editors are usually not very productive editors anyway.
Also, Body Moves is quite clearly a notable song. A song not reaching the main US chart does not mean it isn't notable. It charted quite substantially in a multitude of other countries. If our standards for song articles were "it didn't reach the US Hot 100", a hell of a lot of song articles would not exist. Songs can be substantial hits in other countries and/or be notable for different reasons. Ss11208:12, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
So should I revert that edit or not? And to let you know, the fact it being something to do with US and not just Billboard Hot 100, I don’t remember reading that when I read the DNCE album page were it noted that. And I hope this is it: CheatCodes4ever (talk) 19:41, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Draft article, "The Gloucestershire Wassail"
I stumbled upon your page by coincidence as I was messaging you about user Myxxd's erroneous edits and behavior relating to articles about the band Westlife. I happened to see you specialize in music pages. I was wondering if you wanted to review, and if good, approve, a draft article I've been waiting to be approved for several weeks. I don't know if asking for something like this is against Wikipedia's guidelines, and if it is, I assure you it is unintentional. I'm not impatient and I don't mind waiting the 3 months or more that it says. But if you are interested, it is ready to be reviewed: YouarelovedSOmuch (talk) 13:06, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@YouarelovedSOmuch: I've approved your draft. It's quite well sourced for what it is. You might want to add links to it on other articles if you can. Also, consider moving the article to just Gloucestershire Wassail if that is the more common name for it. Ss11212:30, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much. I was going to ask you about moving the article. I just finished doing that. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by linking other articles to it but I know there are some pages that have Gloucestershire Wassail without hyperlinks, and I will be hyperlinks there. By the way, I tried pinging you on the talk page for user Myxxd. I'm not sure if you saw my message there or not. I had replied to you there about some important issues there that I think need addressing. Again, thank you very much. YouarelovedSOmuch (talk) 14:43, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@YouarelovedSOmuch: Yes, I meant add hyperlinks to the article on other articles where "Gloucestershire Wassail" is mentioned. As for Myxxd, they have at least started to add sources with each of their edits. I have kept up removing trivial factoids from the article for Westlife's latest album. I'll keep an eye on Westlife, which as you note, is already clogged with far too much WP:FANCRUFT. I'll ask somebody if they can go through and remove the swathes of unsourced and irrelevant information. If their unsourced additions resume, I will inform an administrator, and they may decide Myxxd is incapable of editing neutrally. Ss11214:54, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ss112: Regarding Myxxd, I am mostly concerned with them adding trivial information, not so much references. It's any page related to the band, such as the band page, band members, albums, etc. They are using Wikipedia for their personal fan page. The person has been adding trivial information for months. Some of the pages are unreadable, re: The main band page for example. Thank you all you have done YouarelovedSOmuch (talk) 15:09, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Serial Number 54129: Sorry, I didn't even really read the first sentence you wrote. No, the IP couldn't probably isn't CountyCountry, the user I reverted, because CountyCountry registered quite a while ago. At any rate, I'm not particularly suspicious. Ss11210:18, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notability on “We Fell In Love In October”
Hello Ss112, I am the original creator of “We Fell In Love In October”. Not the new creator, the old one. I just need to mention the reason why the page exists is because it peaked at number 14 on US Rock. That’s it’s Notability. CheatCodes4ever (talk) 19:50, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@CheatCodes4ever: I noted that in my edit summary when tagging it. That's nothing major. That appears to be its only chart position, and the article has not demonstrated any coverage or notability besides one chart position on a component chart. Ss11201:43, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@CheatCodes4ever: There is significantly more news coverage on Girl in Red as an artist than on that one song. If all there is about a song is a peak of No. 14 on a US Rock chart and the article is a stub besides listing that, it shouldn't really have an article. Ss11201:58, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
CheatCodes4ever, I agree with Ss112. No. 14 on a "sub-chart" is really not that much. There have only been one or two news articles on the song itself (The405; FADER), however most discussion of the song occurs in interviews with Girl in Red herself (Vogue; DIY), therefore making the song fail WP:NSONG. I only intervened in editing the article in order to rescue it from the drastic state that I originally found it in. heyitsben!!talk07:40, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, well, I don’t know why “Girl In Red” isn’t deleted. I don’t want it to be deleted, but can you just give me the most possible reason it exists? CheatCodes4ever (talk) 08:01, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@CheatCodes4ever:Girl in Red is an award-winning musician that has been the subject of many articles from mainstream news sources (New York Times, NME, Paper, Vogue, Billboard etc.). Her current music catalogue has gained millions and millions of streams and downloads, and she has sold out two headlining international tours since 2018. This year she has played many of Europe's big music festivals and has recently made a lot of radio airplay throughout the continent. She is also yet to make the front cover of Dork tomorrow. She is considered notable because she meets almost every clause of WP:NMUSICBIO. I suggest you research these topics before you throw out random comments. heyitsben!!talk12:03, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And also, back when you said drastic state, if that meant it’s done wrong, I can’t help doing refs and discographies wrong. I don’t know which type of reference type to use and also I can’t do the right “ because I’m using an iPad. I can only do “ CheatCodes4ever (talk) 19:33, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate all the work you do on this site. I feel like I see you on like 90% of the articles I edit and I have no idea how you do it.

@Happyomen: Because I had seen you removing extra references on at least three different articles just prior to that when the peaks were supported by the sources in the header, and I was confused as to how you missed one you had just edited. Ss11203:01, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Happyomen: No, I don't. It is a pain but I just stop the pages from fully loading and the "subscription required" black-out screen comes down over the page. Ss11207:57, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I am here, from what I believe to be is, an un-called comment. On Family (The Chainsmokers and Kygo song) you undid an edit by TBone49. I agree with your edit, don't get me wrong, but you made the comment "you literally removed a sourced mention of it being a single. How are you not blocked?". One edit does not mean a user should be blocked. You are one of the best editors to Wikipedia, I know that, so maybe just work on thinking before typing. This was just to alert you to an action you made, not a disagreement at all. Elijahandskip (talk) 14:38, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Elijahandskip: Okay, then you clearly don't know about this user's history. I informed an administrator about them removing sourced information months ago. They were then blocked for sockpuppetry by another admin later on, for editing in tandem with their own IP account while logged out on another article. My comment is not "uncalled for" considering they have been making disruptive edits for months now, continuing to remove singles as they see fit and to their own unexplained criteria of what is a single and what is not, regardless of reliable news sources calling them singles. I am baffled as to how this editor is still allowed to edit, what with having been warned by multiple editors for adding unsourced information, removing sourced information according to their own whims, and sockpuppetry. Ss11214:42, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for responding. No I did not know the user's history. After clarification on that, I take back what I said was an "un-called for comment". The comment was called for. I do agree the user should be blocked from editing. I hope you can see my point of view at least without knowing the user's history. I hope you have a good day and please keep up the good work.Elijahandskip (talk) 14:45, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"P.S. I Hope You're Happy" Problem
Hello Ss112, I have to note that the reason why I redirect P.S. I Hope You're Happy is that it is not notable. Usually, one of the new singles from a Chainsmokers album like World War Joy would chart, but I highly doubt it will be the one. The actual one that The Chainsmokers are advertising like it’s the only song they released as a single is “The Reaper”. If you want these pages to still exist, I think you should create a page for “The Reaper” as it is the one that is most likely to chart. CheatCodes4ever (talk) 18:51, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@CheatCodes4ever: I didn't create the articles, Futuresay22 created them. I restored them because I believe in absence of their charting, the news articles suffice. I also restored Family (The Chainsmokers and Kygo song), which has already charted in several countries. "The Reaper" has only appeared on one chart that I know of so far. There's nothing to say "P.S. I Hope You're Happy" won't chart elsewhere or later, but that's not the only measure of notability. Ss11218:55, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you guy's still debating whether I'm a sockpuppet? All because I changed Drake's occupation to "recording artist"? RoySmith looked into the investigation and rightfully does not believe that I have any connection to Tjdrum2000. Isaacsorry (talk) 11:20, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Isaacsorry: So you blank your talk page and come here? You know quite well TheAmazingPeanuts reverted you on more articles than just one and there was no mention of you changing "rapper" to "recording artist" by anyone in this section. Your changing of "rapper" to "recording artist" is what I raised on your talk page. It's like you didn't even read the above conversation between Robvanvee and TheAmazingPeanuts, nor what RoySmith said. RoySmith said he's not seeing a connection based on the behavioural evidence provided—that doesn't mean there isn't one. I am not going to have an argument with you on my own talk page about whether or not you are a sockpuppet. Users are allowed to believe you're a sockpuppet. If you're not, that'll be found out in time and you have nothing to worry about. Life goes on. Ss11212:00, 29 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Isaacsorry: You immediately jump to the defensive, retort my own final sentence back at me, but say that I'm the one who seems irritated? Nowhere did I say you weren't allowed to blank your talk page, but if you had something to say, you should have said it there when or before you blanked it, instead of coming to my talk page three minutes later to have a go at the users who responded in this section.

Apple Music
Hi and thank you for letting me know about the change regarding the name iTunes to Apple Music (a few weeks back). I wasn’t aware of that change, but since then, I have been referencing the name Apple Music.
I got your message today re Dune Rats (still having iTunes as the website referenced). I just wanted to let you know those references were there prior to you letting me know. I do take on your feedback 🙂. 22:45, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
Hey there! So, since I know you're familiar with the band Theory of a Deadman and you're very well-versed in all things music, I wanted to grab your opinion regarding whether you would call Theory's latest two songs "singles". The band released "Strangers" and "Say Nothing" to the public on November 8 and December 13, respectively. Neither song has a music video (only "official visualizers") nor have they charted. Although I'm aware that songs don't need either of these to be considered a single, it makes the definition a little murky for me. I'd greatly appreciate your expertise on this whenever you have a moment. — MissSarita05:51, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Miss Sarita: Given those circumstances, and if they have not been sent to radio or been promoted extensively by the band or their label, I'd probably classify them as promotional singles. Ss11210:07, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for your advice. I will remove any mention of these from discographies and infoboxes and keep this in mind for the future. Happy New Year to you! — MissSarita16:06, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just a question
It’s very random to choose you to talk about this, but since you’ve heard about me creating articles for non-notable artists, I think you’re a good person to talk to about this. Would it be acceptable to create a draft article of a non-notable artist, but not submit it for review unless the artist becomes famous? CheatCodes4ever (talk) 05:27, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@CheatCodes4ever: Drafts don't stay around forever (if they're not worked on for several months, they are deleted), so you're taking a chance in hoping the artist becomes notable enough for it to be accepted/moved into mainspace as an article. I probably wouldn't start it in the draftspace—maybe create it in your own userspace. But if there's a significant chance the artist may not become notable, then I would think more about it. Either way, it's ultimately up to you. Ss11205:33, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would probably update it a lot - such as when the artist’s songs became popular, when new songs are released, when new infomation about songs is released - so I’ll try creating a draft. CheatCodes4ever (talk) 05:43, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I'm wondering where you found Dance Monkey at No.7 on the Billboard Hot 100 (US chart). I have edited back to no.9 as per the latest Billboard chart.
Here's hoping after the Christmas songs leave on tomorrow's chart that she IS no.7 or higher :-)
Cheers, Pete Peterschinkel (talk) 23:51, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Peterschinkel: I included the source stating the new peak in the note= parameter of the Billboard Hot 100 single chart entry, if you had looked. It's right there on the article. I am confused as to how you could entirely miss that. Your edits have been reverted. Ss11202:08, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Ss112, sorry about that. I still don't quite know how to check that. Will not correct you again!
Meanwhile, Djole 555 and others are often changing chart positions incorrectly on the Tones and I page. Is there a way to report such vandalism? Peterschinkel (talk) 12:40, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
TXT Dream Chapter: magic
Hi. I was wondering whether the "Personnel and Credits" for this album found on the AllMusic website (here) is alright and could be used as a source for the same? Thanks.Ashleyyoursmile (talk) 13:20, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Ss112: Thank you for this information. The credits in AllMusic are a bit confusing, so I'm asking for a clarification. Does "Vocals (Background)" refer to "chorus"? Thanks.Ashleyyoursmile (talk) 15:47, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
FYI this editor has been indeffed. Unfortunately, I have a strong suspicion that they will be back. If you see anything that looks like them kindly drop me a line. -Ad Orientem (talk) 05:17, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@DarkGlow: Sorry for the late reply. I can't really find much evidence of Diamond White having charted on any more than say, one Billboard chart: [4] (and I'm not even sure what chart that is, as it's not named). Ss11222:58, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies
Hey, so I feel like we got off on the wrong foot mainly because of my fault. There’s been a lot of dispute over constant revisions and edits and mainly over which songs from Halsey’s album, Manic, are singles which caused the constant revisions and editing wars. I don’t want to continue on wikipedia having any bad blood with anyone or lose any privileges so I just wanted to say I’m sorry for all of my constant revisions and engaging in an edit war and being disruptive. I realize that undoing the same edits 50 times a day can be exhausting but I don’t see there being that problem with me again and Im working to get better with edit mistakes. Obviously I’m new to wikipedia so I’m still kind of getting the hang of it but I used to be big on fanon wikis so bad habits might have followed me from there. But I admit I am in the wrong and should’ve just taken it to the talk page to begin with but all the damage had been done so I don’t blame your comment you left on the talk page. I don’t mean any harm I’m just a fan of Halsey and am starting to get back into wiki plus I can just be stubborn at times. and besides the revisions, I have made good and appropriate edits and I would like to continue to do so with no problem. I would just like to get on good terms and have a fresh start, life’s too short to hold grudges over something so simple and I do realize it’s my fault and have been pretty obnoxious you could say but now I know better going into the future and thank you for helping me see that and helping me be better with wikipedia. Again, I am sorry. (also pages that were the main disputes over edits need some clean up from all of it so at the very least I would like to fix them back to normal) Have a nice day.

Archives
Hi! A user suggested me to archive discussions on my talk page since I didn't do it in my 8 years in Wikipedia. I don't quite understand how to do it but I like the way you archive your talk page. Do you mind if I do it the same way as you did? Brankestein (talk) 23:44, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I read your edit summary in regards to me removing the full year in the charts table on the Don't Start Now article. I apologise for the mistake, I followed suit from other articles and I wasn't aware of this exception per MOS:DATERANGE. I hold my hands up to any mistakes I make; no doubt I am learning along the way, so thank you for letting me know. However, I couldn't help but notice your edit summary seemed a little hostile and I'd just like to clear some things up.
As for the "great upkeep" of the article, I'm quite busy with exams all-round, so I admit that my commitment to Wikipedia isn't the best it can be. Having said that, I contribute information that I think is relevant and helpful to articles as and when I can find the time to edit, whether that be almost 'fleeting' edits (like the one in question) or more in-depth expansions. I do have other priorities as of now. I didn't realise the extent of the poor utility that the Venezuelan component charts had, and the wrong date formatting from another user wasn't obvious to me at the time I edited the article. I'm not really understanding the "any new little disco queen's articles" remark either.
I only ever edit with good intentions when I can and I appreciate any feedback given, but I wouldn't like to think that I am coming across negatively to other editors like yourself because of honest mistakes. I apologise if this comes across as exaggerated in any way, but I just want to ensure that I am on good terms with everybody. Thank you. KHBritish(talk)22:41, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@KHBritish: Don't worry, I don't have an issue with you. I think I was just annoyed in that moment, or in a bad mood, and said that. Not an excuse though. Sorry. Ss11222:55, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, sorry if I bothered you, I thought I did the right thing with my editions, since several sources and the same artist confirmed that LAHN is a promo single, but I won't do it anymore if you wish. I just don't see so much hate necessary, sorry again.

Talkback
Hello, Ss112. You have new messages at Talk:The Boxmasters/GA2. Message added 08:19, 15 January 2020 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the ((Talkback)) or ((Tb)) template.
Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of your tireless improvement of music articles. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)
We nominate Editor Ss112 to be Editor of the Week for 14 years of contributions and over 400,000 edits, many of them dedicated to improving music articles. He is a solid long term contributor, who does quiet gnomish, tedious and important work with music lists, such as making sure peak chart positions are correct or that the list of number one singles/albums for a particular country are up to date. He has also been great at thwarting vandalism and making sure citations are reputable. He has created numerous redirect pages and uploaded hundreds of images of album art. His edits certainly are not the flashiest, but someone needs to be around to keep those tables updated and well cited. That is why we believe Ss112 deserves this recognition.
