Tina Turner

hi there! thanks for letting me know that....well i don't know if they'll be removed but i tagged them all. yes i undrestand you but no award has been given to Nana Mouskoury too and in real life she is the biggest selling female artist of all time with sales over 300 million. The title that has been mentioned for Tina has a source: biography.com , which is reputable(maybe she wasn't awarded because there is no award for the most successful rock female artist). does the pat or stevie article has a reputable source saying that? Please let me know. Thanks once again :).Salmoria 23 June 2007 (UTC).

Best selling list

I added a comment in your request for the changes in the list, I agree with you in every thing, but what do you think, will they change the list?? Salmoria 2 july 2007 (UTC)

Yes i know but i'll try to get more people to support, i'll talk to some friends. Salmoria 16:14 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry but I reversed your edit(Best selling list) based on the following: the source says 180 million and doesn't say if the sales include the period with Ike just says that by 2000 she has sold 180 million.

Ok I just felt that i needed to let you know that. Did you read the comments of your suggestion in the best selling list recently? There is an user that disagree with you, well we are arguing, let's wait and see what happen. Salmoria 20:17 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia [5] What you want more ? . 9:44 17 july 2007

87.101.244.8, 87.101.244.9, 212.107.116.xxx, 212.62.97.xxx It is obvious you are all the same person using multiple IP addresses. Please note that you need to have a verified reference to be able to have it allowed as an amendment. This means no blogs, forums, newsgroups, or any site where just anyone can edit. You also need to make sure that the reference that you are using is actually referring to the subject, which the one I have reversed 20 times over on all these IP addresses is not - and I have told this many times over. Please read up on WP:VR and become a good wikipedia editor rather that the nuisance you are now. Maggott2000 10:30, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Bing Crosby

Hi there, Maggott2000. I have found a reference stating that Bing Crosby sold 400 million at the time of his death. It looks pretty good to me, so I have added Bing Crosby to the 250 million plus class.What do you think? AussieBoy 01:57, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

problem

there seems to be a serious problem with the links at the bottom of this article, I first noticed it for the beatles article but it noe affects all claims that use source 14. Help [[8]]. Realist2 19:45, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Madonna (entertainer)

Your assessment of the sales data being used on this article is incorrect. All articles are made up of mix and match of details as they are found and sourced. In this particular case, there is one reference that specifies the singles sold, and there is one article that is a "better"(IFPI) source that specifies albums sales. These are referencing two specific and quite different facts. It is not an attempt to enlarge the sales of the articles subject. It is using the verified sources to specify the facts. There is nothing wrong with the IFPI article specifying the album sales regardless of whether the other source also reports the sales data. You will also find this common place in any of the sales figures mentioned in any artists sales. In most cases if IFPI, RIAA, UWC, or press releases by the record companies take preference over other sources - as has been done this time Maggott2000 07:26, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually, it is your assessment of sales data that is incorrect. It is well-known that "album sales" are often taken to mean total worldwide sales; not every source will specify x amount of albums and x amount of singles. What many editors are doing (the Madonna article being the most-potent example) is to combine two different sources, using the highest figures of each source to suit their purpose.

Let's look at it a different way. Do you think the editors would have used the IFPI source if it stated, for example, that Madonna's sales were 150 million "albums"? I doubt it.

It's irrelevant that this practice exists in other articles. That doesn't make it right, and I'll try to correct it when I see it. I can never understand the fuss about who has sold more... Orane (talk) 07:52, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

On holiday

From 10/09/07 - 19/09/07 will be on holiday and probably without internet access. Thereore my "silence" on pages I assist on is for this reason, Best of luck to the other editors who assist in the fight to maintain the articles free of vandalism. Please be professional in your edits, be civil, consistant, and above all else, reference as much as you can with veified links ... not forums, blogs, user homepages etc ... tasks:

• Madonna (entertainer) needs a new lead paragraph, and discussion on the neutrality tag
• Celine Dion article needs way more referencing
• List of best selling music artists is too demanding against vandalism. It has been suggested that it be tagged for removal. For sanity alone, I would support this. Same with many other lists on wiki.
• Kylie Minogue discography, Madonna Discography, Cher discography, Backstreet Boys Discography, Eminem discography always being vandalised with sales hiking. Keep to the references.
• Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey - more referencing

Agreed I believe the artist and album pages should be deleted. Realist2 18:55, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Back?

Hi there. Hope you enjoyed you trip/"holiday."

I have removed the neutrality tag from the Madonna article. The main problem was the intro, and though it still not 100%, it can be worked with.

I see that you plan to work on Whitney Houston, Celine Dion et al. because they need "more reference." Well, I know that "Whitney Houston" needs a lot of work. It's a very bad article, and I have to keep reverting the fancruft that people keep inserting into it. However, "Mariah Carey" is excessively referenced (nearly 100 end notes, including a reference section) and needs no more work. Also, while you were away, I worked on the "Celine Dion" article and added nearly 50 more references, 90% of which were print sources.

If you still request additional referencing, please go through the article and use the {{citationneeded}} tag (upon which I will review them to see if end notes/citations are really needed).

As a side note, I apologize if I seemed vindictive on the Madonna talk page. I still believe that the article about the "list of best selling artist" should be deleted, but bringing it up on the Madonna page was unnecessary. Orane (talk) 04:36, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Goodbye

I decided that wikiedia is no longer worth the effort. Maggott2000 20:12, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
