Hello Moscowconnection. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Yamada ryosuke, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Is a plausible, useful redirect or is not a redirect at all. Thank you. Courcelles02:57, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! The redirect clearly resulted from a typo or misnomer as R3 states. The page Ryosuke Yamada was created with that name and then moved to where it is now, see the very second edit. But surely, it's a typo but not an implausible one. :D Probably, I misinterpreted the criteria. Moscowconnection (talk) 03:30, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Naming for AKB48 team
Hi Moscowconnection, I am writing to you about the changes to the name "Team Kenkyūsei" that you have made. I believe that it should still retain the name as they are officially known to most people. In fact, pages like Everyday, Kachūsha ans Koko ni Ita Koto use this term. I hink you should just revert it back. Thanks!--Lionratz (talk) 13:51, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
And it was when I wrote to Shippai about me adding the Japanese name anyway, I clicked "Save page" and received your message! He didn't appear to have watched the video in question before. Moscowconnection (talk) 14:30, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Correct it as you think is right. I would also add the Japanese names on top of each section: "Chiimu Ee", "Chiimu Bii", "Chiimu Kee", "Chiimu Foo". :) Moscowconnection (talk) 14:37, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Moscowconnection, thanks for the reply! I believe these names "Chiimu Ee", "Chiimu Bii", "Chiimu Kee", "Chiimu Foo" are not well know and are actually romanization of alphabets into Japanese. Therefore, they should not be used as per guidelines. Also, about the sources, Tokyograph is not considered a reliable source, sadly. It can only be used when the original article is deleted. And about the Japanese part, Wikipedia allows foreign language sources. Therefore, even if most people cannot read, we still have to put in the most reliable source. Then we can up the grade of this article. Thanks!!--Lionratz (talk) 06:43, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi - I was hoping you might be able to shed some light on how to read Oricon web pages (URLs or the actual text of the page) to be able to find charts that would help show how someone meets WP:MUSICBIO # 2 or 3. Thanks for any help! --Malkinann (talk) 04:45, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Search here, in the top left search box ("Search for: Artist Name" (アーティスト名が)).
Example:
If you search for the name Momoko Tsugunaga (嗣永桃子, with or without a space), you'll find this profile. The top 3 figures are the top ranks of her singles, albums and DVDs. She doesn't have neither solo singles nor solo albums that ranked, but she had a DVD at number 9. The 2 figures below are "TV appearances: 60" and "Commercials: --". Btw, the latter doesn't seem right cause her Japanese Wikipedia page lists a commercial for Pizza-La.
How to find the DVD and many articles mentioning her:
The folders below are:
Digest (ダイジェスト)
Profile (プロフィール)
Profile (プロフィール)
History (ヒストリー): TV appearances, releases featuring her, etc.
News and Specials (ニュース一・特集): Articles on the Oricon website mentioning her
What's interesting is that the DVD which reached number 9 was a 2010 concert by Berryz Kobo, the band she's in. Momoko also has solo DVDs. They are in the list. There are 3 solo DVDs that ranked 20, 32, and 58.
I also search the net for news adding the parameters "site:oricon.co.jp", "site:natalie.mu", "site:excite.co.jp". And I like Yahoo Japan News Search. For example, the Yahoo Japan News Search for mentions of Momoko Tsugunaga results in a long list, which also includes reprints of the latest Oricon and Natalie articles.--Moscowconnection (talk) 23:29, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I saw your message at my talk, please understand that I was editing unrelated articles and came across this by chance. As it was not very clear I tried to make it more readable, I will address the issues that you have raised, only one thing all-girl *IS* necessary because outside of Japan we don't know that Japanese idol groups are same sex. CaptainScreeboParley!18:40, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for trimming some of the births you put into the Days of the year pages yesterday. I or someone else would have eventually trimmed them to fit the page format. Just to let you know while I'm here, I undid 3 of your edits yesterday, 1 for being in the wrong date page (I only remember it was placed in August instead of April, date number was correct though, possibly 16), and 2 for having conflicting birth dates within the articles with no citations. I did trim 1 or 2 as I was flying to keep up with you :) Ken Tholke (talk) 13:25, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Again, thank you and good job!
I went through my yesterday's edits to the articles on the days of the year, and I think the entries fit the format now. And thank you for mentioning the edits you undid, I've found them all now, and all 3 dates were wrong. :) Moscowconnection (talk) 15:01, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Moscowconnection, thanks for helping to improve Japan-related culture. You are right to say that I am not really a big fan of AKB48, since I haven't even attended one of their regular concerts in my country. Furthermore, I am a newbie to this group, so I have made many errors in my edits regarding them. On that note, thanks for pointing out these mistakes.
However, I would like to point out that articles have been ruined because fans of that particular topic spammed the article with too much fan-related information. I want to keep AKB48 articles free of this type of occurrence.
Lastly, I need some help to find more references. As you might have noticed, I have been adding {{citation needed}} tags to sections that lacks them. I am trying my best to avoid these tags, but I really do not know where to find more references. Can you help in this task? In addition, please try your best to include references for any new information that you may add. Cheers!--Lionratz (talk) 08:59, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for fixing up AKB48 and the official youtube channel. I also reworded that top 5 sentence, hopefully that communicates what the writer originally intended. If not, feel free to tweak it. AngusWOOF (talk) 23:59, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There are too many sentences explaining how the hell the name is supposed to be written or read. There is nothing inherently wrong about the way I included the katakana because I have not done so in a way that is implying that it is written in Japanese by the katakana. I ahve included it as part of the pronunciation. Do we really need two sentences explaining "C-ute" is pronounced as the English word "Cute"? And why should Japanese text be omitted when you already have the Hepburn romanization on the page. This is getting out of "I disagree with the current formatting" and more "Stay away from my pages" with your reverts. This is particularly telling because you're the one who made that excessive exposition in the first place.—Ryulong (竜龙) 23:20, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but I removed it before the discussion at WT:JAPAN started. It was just one small improvement (from my point of view), I have been rewriting the article since last spring. I do think the info is useful, but not in the first sentence. I want the article to be read, so I think from the point of view of an English speaker who hears about °C-ute and comes to Wikipedia to learn about the group. Moscowconnection (talk) 00:58, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Wesley☀Mouse15:17, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't misinterpreted the rules for CSD. I read all the criteria at CSD, and use twinkle to select the correct G6 submission. This is because its an unnecessary and orphaned disambiguation page; when Cute (disambiguation) page already exists covering the same disambiguation rules. I encourage your enthusiasm in becoming a good editor and creating as many new articles as possible. But sometimes it is always best to check with WP:NEW or research if a new article is needed, or if another one covering your proposals is in existence. Wesley☀Mouse15:49, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Cute (band), a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion and appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Wesley☀Mouse16:29, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The article talk page is where any discussions would take place, similar to the way a discussion took place at Talk:Cute (Japanese band) when the request to move the article was submitted. Deleting admins will carefully check to see if the correct criteria has been dertmined, and will also check to see if another disambiguation page exists. As we have already established the latter then it would be likely to get deleted, but we will have to see what the admins decide. Wesley☀Mouse16:43, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Cute (band). If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. Wesley☀Mouse16:49, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
These notice and the one on the article do not match one another. There are no buttons and it says to remove. The notice says "If this article does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, please remove this notice." What should I do? It's funny, actually. I will post on the talk page. Moscowconnection (talk) 17:00, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The notice "If this article does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, please remove this notice." is for admins. It is basically informing the administrator to remove the tag if they feel the article doesn't meet the criteria it has been nominated for. Slow down in future and wait to see if editors reply back to you before rushing off and doing something, there are no deadlines on Wikipedia.. This alone proves the fact that you rushed in removing the template tag before waiting for me to reply back to you. Also at Talk:Cute (Japanese band) you asked if we need to used Cute (band) page as a disambiguation. Before waiting for me to give you a reply to your question, you went ahead anyway and created the page - whereas if you waited a little while you would have noticed there wasn't a need to make the article. Patience is a virtue, and nothing needs to be rushed. Wesley☀Mouse17:07, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
All the templates used are pre-worded templates, and I'm unable to re-word them without posting it first and then manually altering afterwards. I have campaigned about these a few times, informing people that a review on how they are worded needs to be carried out. But alas the requests to date have been ignored. And something which I suppose I have to grin and bear with. Looks like though that an admin has reviewed the nomination, and feels it can remain - so another issue resolved thanks to going down the appropriate channels. Happy editing. Wesley☀Mouse17:27, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. It has been redirected already. I'm not sure it is what had to be done, but I will read the disambiguation rules. And in a few days, I'll see how Wikipedia search, Google, Yahoo, etc. react. Sorry for the trouble. You should understand that I wanted Cute (Japanese band) be easy to find. Presently, it is not the case. Moscowconnection (talk) 17:46, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I didn't think about it. It would help. What I know is that when I type "Cute" in Yahoo or Google, the Japanese band doesn't come up near the top. It did, but then it stopped. And it upsets me. :) And I don't get what titles are on top of the list in Wikipedia search suggestions. I will have to ask there. I'll see what happens with the search and then I'll think how to ask it. Moscowconnection (talk) 18:09, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And thank you for your patience. The tag persistently said to remove it, so I though it was really funny and reverted the second time. :) Moscowconnection (talk) 18:09, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've noticed your talk page is getting rather lengthy too. Do you know about archiving? If you click on H:ARC you'll find a step-by-step guide. Alternatively, I could install an archive set-up for you, I've helped a couple of users out with archiving in the past too, so I don't mind. Wesley☀Mouse18:17, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! I'll learn how archiving is done, but I don't want to archive just yet. I don't receive many comments (that is, I hadn't until yesterday), and there are many bot messages that can be removed without archiving. Moscowconnection (talk) 18:43, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Talkback
Hello, Moscow Connection. You have new messages at Talk:Cute (Japanese band). Message added 20:03, 7 May 2012 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
I've had a gander over at the article - looking impressive now. However, I thought I should point out on the infobox (right-hand side of article), where it says Website should really have the band's official website page, and not the URL of their YouTube channel. This could do with being fixed, to keep in accordance with manual of style for infobox parameters. BOT's are prone to do random checks and may end up removing that link if it doesn't recognise it as the official page.
Also, it may be worth taking a break from the article too. The page history only shows you as being the single-editor on the article,which to the community can be seen as someone taking ownership of articles; so please be cautious there; as this would be violating one of the five pillars. Wesley☀Mouse18:51, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm removing all those videos from all those infoboxes. We are not a directory of links, and the plethora of them only serve to strengthen the idea that these pages are like fan sites. Sorry, but it's not the purpose of Wikipedia to exhaustively list, let alone link, everything. I watched one of those videos (and need to wash my eyes now) on the official cutechannel, and they start with a fifteen-second add--so they promote the band as well as the companies that advertise on the band's YouTube channel. That is simply unacceptable. BTW, one of those articles had 31 YouTube videos linked--I'm pretty sure that's a record. Drmies (talk) 15:17, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
They don't start with the ad. It's YouTube who ads the advertisements. You will have all the videos from YouTube to remove all YouTube videos soon. And you should install an ad bloscker. Moscowconnection (talk) 15:54, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn't matter. You are linking to ads. And please don't tell me what to install: I am a regular, unsophisticated PC user, like probably most Wikipedia readers. Drmies (talk) 15:57, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It was just a recommendation. Sorry, if it sounded differently. I'm replying on the Cute talk page about the rest. I have it in my watchlist. Moscowconnection (talk) 16:09, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. No problem. The ads are annoying, by the way. Google always acted like they were everyone's best friend, and now they made watching YouTube impossible. I think that a war against YouTube may start eventually, but I wouldn't want it to start on Cute articles. Moscowconnection (talk) 17:53, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Apply common sense. First of all, music videos are by definition promotional. Second, not all videos on YouTube have ads. Third, 31? Drmies (talk) 16:03, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Eureka! Check out WP:YOUTUBE. Apparently there is a limitation to Youtube links, and also strict guidelines too, as there are copyright issues to be wary of also, and if my memory serves me correctly, users can be banned for repeated copyvios. Wesley☀Mouse16:06, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if you know or not, but from what I gather the importance scales are suppose to be set at "low" and then it is up to the project to change them accordingly. A bot will notify the projects that this article has been added, and that they need to review the importance scale. Wesley☀Mouse19:32, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If the importance is left unassessed, then the article will be listed as unassessed. Otherwise, no one from a project will simply come to assess it. For this particular article, it will be most probably set to Low for any non-Japanese projects, but still it doesn't seem right to decide fot them. As I understand it, at least. {{DEFAULTSORT}} is explained here: DEFAULTSORT#Default sort key. Moscowconnection (talk) 19:54, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
A list of what the importance scales mean can be found at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Release Version Criteria#WikiProject importance assessments. From what that link reads, members of a project or external interests can scale the level of importance. Based on the article being of a specialised subject, its level would be low for WP:Media and WP:Journalism - as the guidance reads LOW = subject is mainly of specialist interest. I have left a copy of this conversation on the article's talk page. Wesley☀Mouse20:01, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What the hell is your problem? I added the outdent at Talk:Cute (Japanese band) because that is manual of style on talk pages. The way you worded your edit summary was uncalled for, and I find it very distressing to be honest with you. Chill out man, and think. Wesley☀Mouse 20:18, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
Sorry, just realised I placed the outdent on the wrong line - it was suppose to be inbetween your last comment and my latest. Wesley☀Mouse20:23, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There is a particular manual of style also used on article talk pages. A user can restyle the comments to put things into an easy-readable flow; as long as they don't alter the wording. You're making it sound like I altered everything you written when I hadn't. And I have apologised above explaining the outdent was placed on the wrong line. Why are you being so harsh with me Moscow? I really don't understand the behaviour lately. Remember just how delicate I am at the moment, and such wordings are likely to spark me off, which is something I don't need right now - geeze its the funeral tomorrow, so it is very easy for me to do typo errors. We all make mistakes, nobody is perfect, so go easy with me OK! Wesley☀Mouse20:37, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nah I'm sorry Moscowconnection. I now can see why a lot of the experienced editors kept telling me to take time off from editing. My stubbornness got the better of me, and all I've done is just snap people's heads off. The hardest thing will be this coming week, when the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 is on TV. Every year my mother and I would sit and watch that, while eating popcorn, and giving our own scores - this year will be strange now as I'll be all alone. Wesley☀Mouse21:05, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your clarification! Oh, how else do you think we should improve the article from here on? I know that a lot of content is missing, but exactly what to include is still undefined. It really does not help that no other Japanese idol groups have articles that are ranked GA or above. Do you that that we should refer to K-pop groups that have released singles in Japan, just to use them as models, of course. And I am really sorry if I have added untrue or inaccurate information to the article. Happy editing.--Lionratz (talk) 12:47, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, there are some good K-pop articles. I did look at them for ideas. I think we should completely rewrite the History section. And create more thematic sections to give people something interesting to read. Moscowconnection (talk) 03:09, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, sorry for not responding. I thought you would leave reply on my talk page. Anyways, I have been researching. I till cannot find much (not to mention reliable sources) regarding AKB48 before 2008 or 2007. Can you point me in the right direction. Oh, as for the Korean groups, I have narrowed down to Girls' Generation and TVXQ. I choose the former because it is currently nominated for GA and has undergo massive restructuring, while TVXQ has a strong Japanese connection. I think we should adapt some of their style and structure in AKB48. What do you think?--Lionratz (talk) 07:56, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, it's me who hadn't been here for a few days. You replied immediately. It's summer where I live, so I may disappear at any time. If not for the latest developments at the Cute article, I wouldn't be here since a few weeks back. Moscowconnection (talk) 17:20, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Let's discuss everything on the AKB48 talk page. To start with, I'm not sure whether the parts about overseas appearances that I copied into a new section should be removed from the history section. What do you think? Moscowconnection (talk) 17:20, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nogizaka46 controversy included in AKB48 article
Hi, I mentioned this on the AKB48 article's talk page the other day, but I thought I'd ask again here. What reason is there to include the information about Nogizaka46's choreography controversy on the article for AKB48? As far as I can see, it has no place there. It should be included on Nogizaka46's article, and possibly even Akimoto Yasushi's article, but it has no connection to AKB48. The controversy did not include the AKB48 group in any way, or include any AKB48 members. Could you clarify why you wish to include this information? Kaixa913 (talk) 07:35, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I wanted to leave the part because it makes the article better. It's recent, interesting, entertaining. We need to give people something to read, something to return to Wikipedia for. Also, it ends the otherwise dull "Controversies" section on a happier note. I know we will have to remove the info sooner or later. But hopefully I will expand and rewrite the section by then. If you think it's simply unacceptable having the info there, remove it from the article yourself. Moscowconnection (talk) 17:20, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I didn't think to get back to you. Just to let you know, I have basically no connection to that image, and no opinion on the issue which you have brought to my attention; you're welcome to do whatever you need to, in my eyes. Thanks! J Milburn (talk) 19:34, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quotes on non-English references
Concerning your AWB bug report I would like to say that per MOS:QUOTE styling of apostrophes and quotation marks should be adapted to English Wikipedia's conventions without comment. MOS:QUOTE reads "This practice of conforming typographical styling to a publication's own "house style" is universal". -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:01, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OK. I see that AWB only makes pages conform to Wikipedia style guidelines. (The quotation marks in question aren't a "publication own house style", though, cause the titles aren't in English.) --Moscowconnection (talk) 05:37, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Berryz Kobo discography, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page EP (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
OK, I'll take note of that next time. This is only my 2nd time editing wikipedia, so thanks for pointing it out. i'll tidy up the references when i have more time
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sakura Oda, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Saki Nakajima (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

I notice that the majority of your recent contributions you explain solely as "Avoiding redirect". Please be aware that doing so is not only unnecessary, but undesirable and detrimental, for reasons as explained in the relevant guideline. I appreciate your general enthusiasm but I for one would rather you didn't continue putting it into that particular "fix". If you still feel that avoiding redirects is a desirable thing, how about you say why here and we can discuss whether one of us may have failed to consider something?

Okay. I will read WP:REDIRECT#NOTBROKEN thoroughly now. I'm not enthusiastic about redirects and I was not going to fix the whole Wikipedia. I've already finished with links to Cute. What I did is very convenient for me. The problem is that in the past I've added links to Cute instead of Cute (Japanese band). Since Cute redirects to Cuteness instead of a disambiguation page, no bot notified me about it. I have to look through the list of articles that link to Cute periodically. So, I thought that if I make the list smaller, it will be easier next time. It kind of worked cause today I fixed a link to Cute (Japanese band) that I never noticed before. Now the list is short and I will be able to detect wrong links easily. Also, a few months ago I changed all links to the group to point to Cute (Japanese band) directly. Again, it's very convenient for me, cause its name can be written in many different ways and having no articles pointing to redirects allows me to easily find it written as "C-ute" or "℃-ute". --Moscowconnection (talk) 02:47, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, your links are convincing. You could remove it. :-) But still, WP:BURDEN says that it's "good practice to try to find and cite supporting sources yourself" before removing material. Also, WP:BURDEN recommends "adding a citation needed tag as an interim step", otherwise "editors might object". So I objected. --Moscowconnection (talk) 23:42, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Now I understand you're fighting on many fronts, that's why you don't have time to search for sources yourself. Good luck in fighting K-pop fans. To fight better, you will have to learn the members, their ages and positions. :-) 2NE1 members' ages are commonly known (and Daum was a very reliable source, it's a giant Korean portal), but they are not on the official site. --Moscowconnection (talk) 00:44, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm very sorry. You are 100% right. I was simply shocked that you removed everything again. I'm sure many people would think you were vandalizing. Daum is a reliable source, their birth days and months are on the official site, and you removed them. When I saw your new edits, I even thought for a moment that from the very start your aim was simply to delete their ages, since their agency and probably some fans don't want them to be known. I apologize again. Should the edit sumary be deleted somehow? --Moscowconnection (talk) 01:21, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I was simply undoing your edit: Adding back the birth years, sourced from a giant Korean entertainment site. (Wherever they got them from, they published them where you replaced the existing citation: <ref name="2ne1jpprofile" /> with http://kids.daum.net/kids/do/fun/theme/themeView?id=381. So I thought that for you to say: Adding back the birth years... the old citation i.e. "<ref name="2ne1jpprofile" />" was not working, otherwise why bother adding another, unofficial, citation to replace the official one? Do you see my point? I also saw that your new citation had the words "kids" and "fun" in its url. This did not sound to me like a very reliable source. It actually sounded like kids' stuff, i.e. something completely unreliable. So I undid your edit and I put back the old reference, which was more reliable as it was from the official website of the group. Replacing a link about kids stuff with the older, more reliable link, is good practice, not vandalism. As far as erasing your edit summary, it can be done, but it is not that insulting, so I will not press the point further and I accept your explanation/apology. There is no problem. Δρ.Κ.λόγοςπράξις01:49, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I understand now, your edit summary didn't say that you were undoing my edit. I replaced the citation because the official site had their birth days and months only. So, when I found the profile on Daum Kids, I didn't want to give the false impression that the info is on their official site. Sorry. --Moscowconnection (talk) 02:13, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi MC. I saw your discussion with Drmies and left a comment there. I repeat it here for convenience:
I have created a new section at Wikiproject Korea: K-pop articles coordination. It could serve as an initial coordination place for K-pop articles and as a central reference point where the problems they face as a group of articles could be centrally addressed. It could also be expanded into a different subpage, something like a K-pop working group. You are, of course, welcome to create any such new subpage if you think it is necessary. This subsection is just a proposed starting place. Δρ.Κ.λόγοςπράξις17:52, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguation link notification for October 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited K-pop, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page PSY (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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, M. About the pictures at Cuteness, from where I stand the discussion is pretty much concluded. Nevertheless, to avoid the appearance of rushing things along, I'd wait a couple more days (or make that a full week) before instating an edit request, unless you or someone else beats me to it.
Maybe you saw my last comment there. Imho, the Knut image doesn't add anything of true value to the article either, regardless of its acceptable sourcing. So, although the primary issue was the OR of the other images, maybe the best threshold would be to just not use any "pics of cute things"? Not hellbent either way, so I'd like to hear your take. --87.79.132.152 (talk) 21:14, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just want to begin by saying that I could've been more specific with my edit on the "Gangnam Style" page. But I don't get why a bunch of users think that I'm trying to start conflicts. I have ADHD (and possibly a little OCD) which may be why I like things done a certain way. It just seems weird to me putting a Latin Songs chart on a Korean song. Anyway, I'm sorry about my edit. If you have any other concerns, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks! Easy4me (talk) 16:03, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Привет. Любой интерес к вьетнамской поп? (Что касается корейских статей; К сожалению, я уже ожидал такого ответа, или мы можем сказать, отсутствие ответа. Тем не менее, я буду поддерживать запросу -- "К переименованию.") In ictu oculi (talk) 16:05, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Привет! I don't know almost anything about Vietnamese pop music. :( Yes, I understand that we have good chances to win RMs for those pages, especially in the Hyuna case. But I think it would take too much time. And I will go from the English Wikipedia for a while. I was planning to do something else, in other languages and offline, so now is the best time. --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:52, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Your Russian is good, by the way. The only mistakes are "вьетнамской поп" (you can choose of "вьетнамского попа" (поп m), "вьетнамской попсы" (informal попса f), or "вьетнамской поп-музыки" (поп-музыка f), the latter is the best option) and "поддерживать запрос" (accusative case). :) --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:52, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It seems you have a hard time accepting anyone else edits on anything that has to do with AKB48. While I tried to assume good faith you are really making it hard seeing how every time I or some else edits the articles you revert them. You are showing ownership over the articles and it is not really helping the article(s) improve nor is it inviting other to feel welcomed to edit those articles. I hope we get along and try to improve the project rather than disagree over every single edit. しれないShirenai♥talk21:47, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's not true. I don't own the article and I actually think it's really bad and there's nothing much to defend. I reverted one edit of yours, then I added what I think was an improvement, and then you reverted my addition and I didn't object. I'm sorry if you don't feel welcomed. Maybe I should have just let your edit stay because the matter wasn't important. AKB48-related articles need more editors. Surely, you are free to improve them. --Moscow Connection (talk) 09:34, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I removed your response from my page because I would like to keep the conversation in one place. In responding to you I want to point out you reverted all the edits I made 1 and 2, not just the one. So, of course I would feel as if you believe you own the articles and would feel unwelcome. しれないShirenai♥talk16:30, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
1. That's okay, I understand. But I commented on your page, and the comment should stay there. 2. Now I see that we've met on another page before. I think you should not have insisted on your corrections. After all, the pages existed in some state before you came, and it was up to you to prove that your edits were improvements. 3. I can see that you added valuable information to Wikipedia, you are welcomed. AKB48 needs more editors. --Moscow Connection (talk) 17:08, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Explain to me how they weren't an improvement? I reduced the number of red links, removed the linking of the same artist and article twice -which in a short article such as 1830m makes it looks cleaner-, I abbreviated the artists already listed because it seems to be practiced used by the project as a whole when it comes to other music articles and lastly I removed the repetitive nihongo tags per MOS:JAPAN. The article looked a little less cluttered that way but you didn't see that only reverted. Also in response to this edit according the MOS for Japan it was correct to switch it to Atsuko Maeda. しれないShirenai♥talk18:59, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the red links afterwards. Your abbreviations didn't look good to me. "Ma.", "Mi.", etc. I think the nihongo templates are useful. (By the way, could you point me to where the rules say to remove them. Cause I heard about it but didn't see it myself.) "Atsuko Maeda Solo Ver." seems to be a part of the title. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:20, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It says it in the first paragraph of that link (Generally, Japanese script for a word can be added to the text the first time it is introduced, provided that the word is not linked to another article on the English Wikipedia.) While it is apart of the title it is the order of the name is what I'm referring to. According to MOS:JAPAN the title should be "Sakura no Hanabira (Atsuko Maeda Solo Ver.)" and not "Sakura no Hanabira (Maeda Atsuko Solo Ver.)". しれないShirenai♥talk21:42, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I see. Please don't insist. Cause it makes the article better. And they are not in the article text even. I understand that you are talking about the order of the name, but I'm saying that I consider it part of the song's title. (Now I'm not sure, though.) Like, if there were an English-language song titled "Maeda Atsuko", it wouldn't be right to say that its title was "Atsuko Maeda". Anyway, let's not argue. You can rename it to "Atsuko Maeda Solo Ver.", but it doesn't seem right to me. But please delete Sakiko Matsui from the list of soloists, she really looks out of place there. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:14, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I wil try ("try" haha~) to let you do whatever you want. Just edit. Don't think about me hating your edits or whatever. The article 1830m is practically a stub, I created it in 5 minutes (more like an hour plus) and left. Whatever you do will be better than its current state. I actually even have to thank you that you care about it. AKB48 articles do get some considerable amount of views, but no one cares to expand them. As you probably noticed, I'm a bit off AKB48 articles, I'm concentrating on other groups at the moment. I do want to come back, but I can't do everything at once. (I hope you have the talk page in your watchlist.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 17:41, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How do I source the tracking list? You can see the list of tracks if you follow the external link. If you mean the 2012 re-release, it is said in prose in the release section that the track list is the same + a DVD. In the Chart performance section, I can add sources for everything except the Oricon monthly chart. (It is deleted from the Oricon website after a while.) I will do it now and then reply again. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:24, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I do think the image I chose is better quality and, most importantly, it shows what the group is like. Another editor has already expressed his opinion: [1], [2]. Should we ask him to come up here? But actually, in his edit summary in the Japanese Wikipedia Anosola invited you to join the discussion on the Momoiro Clover Z talk page. The main question is that there are really bad photos and whether we should use them just for the sake of having a photo in each article. --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:47, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
DYK for Mōretsu Uchū Kōkyōkyoku Dai 7 Gakushō "Mugen no Ai"
I'm sorry to keep finding issues, but the concept of a transformation belt is unfamiliar to me, and I'm sure that lots of readers will be confused by it. The article currently passes the DYK rules, but it's not a good idea to confuse readers. Could you please add a short comment in the article to explain what it is, or provide a link to a related article? That being done, I will approve the article. Nyttend (talk) 20:54, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed you replaced the word "in 2012" to the word "current" for the member list. [3] You attention is invited to WP:REALTIME. , wikipedia's policy on words that should be avoided, including "currently", "today", "now". Da Vynci (talk) 06:58, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I changed it because "2012" was incorrect. Risa Niigaki left the group on May 18, 2012, and she is not in the list. By the way, Template:Infobox musical artist has a parameter named "current members", it's just that it shows up simply as "Members". If you don't like the word "current", you can delete it and leave the section name as "Members". But I think "Current members" is more clear and comprehensible. --Moscow Connection (talk) 01:48, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Reni Takagi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

Thanks for the note; it didn't seem to me that some of the latest edits conformed to the sources, so I thought it better to reword it myself than to force you to make changes. The nomination has now been approved, so it will be going to DYK before long. Nyttend (talk) 13:51, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Your edits were fine. Better than what I wrote. Certainly a big step towards the right direction. It was my subsequent edits that I was not sure of. I changed the whole section one minute after you approved the nomination, so I thought you should look at the article again. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:50, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What I meant by "approved" is that someone else has approved it, i.e. it's closed and won't be modified again. The next step is placement in a DYK prep area. Nyttend (talk) 15:15, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I see that you've reverted my edit at Harlem Shake (meme). If you want to litter the article you're a major contributor to with self-published sources, be my guest. I'm not contributing to that article if constructive changes arent welcome. But please refrain from inappropriately tagging properly sourced material as you did here. The failed verification tag is not to be used to tag information you dont agree with, but for information that meets this criteria. Do not revert the primary contributor of the article. Read the source cited ([4], second paragraph) and respect my contributions. If you still feel the source cited doesnt mesh with you, discuss it at the article's talk page. Do not get into a silly revert war over a small background detail to a song article. Thank you. Dan56 (talk) 02:28, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
the source does not support what is contained in the article, and
despite the source not supporting the article, the source still contains useful information on the topic.
This is exactly what happened, exactly. I read the source and saw that the sentence you wrote completely misinterpreted what Billboard wrote. Therefore I added a template. (I now see that you were the one who wrote it or, rather, completely changed in this edit: [5]. I didn't know it.) There are 2 issues with the sentence: misinterpretation and being in contradiction to other sources. Therefore I added 2 templates, 2 separate templates. You may not agree with the {{better source}} template, okay. But you shouldn't remove the {{failed verification}} template. (As for your claim that the {{better source}} template can't be placed cause other sources are "self-published", they aren't self-published. But Billboard is a good source, okay. I understand why you insist.) I didn't change the sentence myself exactly because I respect you contributions. --Moscow Connection (talk) 03:02, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just removed a dozen videos and a half a dozen covers from this article--that amount of "information" for an article on a single, and not a very notable one at that, is beyond ridiculous. Please don't confuse Wikipedia with MySpace. If you wish to maintain such detailed fan articles, consider Wikia. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 01:47, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Advice
I took a few minutes to go over your spat with User:Drmies. After that, I did you a favour and removed your last 2 additions to the closed ANI report. You have been told by more than one person exactly why what you're doing is wrong on this project. Admins are required to enforce what wikipedia is for ... complaining otherwise as vociferously as you will not end well. If you truly think you wish to ignore the rules others have provided, and believe the admin has misused their admin powers, then file an WP:RFC/ADMIN. However, anywhere you go, the community will reinforce the fact that it's YOU who are breaking the rules, and will typically side with the person who is enforcing them correctly whether or not its an admin (✉→BWilkins←✎) 10:06, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That was not the first time Drmies did things like that. And he replies like this, for example: User talk:Drmies/Archive 44#T-ara, which doesn't look like a constructive discussion. I did not ignore the rules. There are plenty of articles with more than one cover in it. I also don't destroy articles simply to demonstrate that I can. This edit was made when the discussion was ongoing and it was not policy-based. This is what I got for trying to converse with him. --Moscow Connection (talk) 12:13, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see anything unconstructive in the discussion: rather matter-of-fact and certainly not proof of vandalism or bad faith by them. The edit you linked to above was 100% common-sense AND policy based - I cannot fathom you cannot ascertain that. Oh, and yes, the level of bastardization of Poke-mon related articles by fans wanting to include every tiny piece of crap information is tedious(✉→BWilkins←✎) 12:34, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I can't see what was based on any policy there. He just removed the Background section, the tracklists, the lists of members who performed the songs, and the external links to the official profiles at the record label website. It may well look like an intentional destruction of the article. Another user already asked him about that: [6], let's see what Drmies has to say. --Moscow Connection (talk) 12:51, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It seems like K-pop is to the music project what Tennis is to the sports project - the particular branch where a bunch of pointless information is added to articles, and completely pointless articles are created. You can have a million reliable sources for an edit, but I suggest you read things like WP:FANCRUFT/WP:LISTCRUFT, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and WP:ISNOT to realize that the edit may still be inappropriate. The English Wiki, as has been noted by many other people, is a lot more stringent than other Wikis, and promotional fluff has no place here - and rightly so. Lukeno94(talk)14:19, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Tracklistings and the information about who sings what can't be promotional, it's essential information for every release. I think tracklists are even necessary per WP:Albums guidelines. Drmies has created some articles like that too, I suggest you delete the Personnel and Track listing sections from here: Uniko (album), Kronos Quartet (album), Kronos Quartet Performs Alfred Schnittke: The Complete String Quartets. There is a lot of unnecessary information. I don't need it, do you? Let's delete it. The tracklists and the lists of personnel are unsourced, too. AKB48 articles were much better. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:55, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
So? One merely adds a sentence to state that. The order is not important, and unless there's an additional NOTABLE track, it's irrelavent - certainly not considered a "lie" by any stretch of the word (✉→BWilkins←✎) 15:34, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I can't believe what you've just said. Do you think that every track in every tracklist in Wikipedia is notable? And why should I add a sentence if I can just make a list as on every other page about a CD single? Or maybe, track and personnel lists are not allowed exclusively in AKB48 articles? There are no rules like that. And no rules like if a list is too long, it's not allowed. There were absolutely normal lists in AKB48 articles, nothing was against the rules. --Moscow Connection (talk) 16:22, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There is a rule: Wikipedia:NOTEVERYTHING. When track lists and members lists and external links and links to videos and alternate covers and templates take up 90% of an article, then it's too much. Common sense. There is nothing to read in such an article. Drmies (talk) 20:25, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You all must understand that most articles about J-pop and K-pop that are being created in the English Wikipedia are about the top acts in their countries. You can't compare them with a person who ranked in the United States at the bottom of Billboard Hot 100. Look at this deletion discussion, for example. Drmies proposed the article for deletion, and suddenly the single happened to be the 13th best-selling single in Japan in 2012. "Manatsu no Sounds Good!" is simply the best selling single of 2012. There are so many barely notable songs on Wikipedia, but surely, you all had to pick on this one. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:50, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Stop ignoring what people say. No one is questioning the notability of all of these artists, songs etc, but people are rightly pointing out that there is an absolutely absurd amount of information being added into K-pop and J-pop articles, or that they're just complete messes, when the right place is in between. Take Loud (Rihanna album) for example. It's a good article, and it has a sentence or two on each song, a little more for the more notable songs. Everything is well formatted, and well layed out. Now let's go to, say, Koko ni Ita Koto. The track listing is an utter mess, information is missing left, right, and centre. Let's look at the Virginity song. Drmies was absolutely correct to propose it for deletion: yes, it charted, and yes, it charted highly. But the version he proposed for deletion failed WP:NSONG as it contained NOTHING about the song whatsoever, in terms of information. Even now, as it stands, it STILL violates WP:NSONG, as there's basically nothing other than lists in the article, although the AfD has probably shown that it can be made to pass that guideline. Track lists are necessary; however, anything that is not in the main release should be collapsed, and they should have some vague efforts at formatting them. Drmies' edit to Manatsu no Sounds Good! was not perfect, I do think he cut a bit too much, but some of the sections, such as the background section, were clearly written with promotional fluff, and some were just total messes, like the Members section. Lukeno94(talk)17:38, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for actually making my point for me: the song itself is notable, the half-dozen separate releases of it with different tracklists, etc is not notable. Thanks for setting us all straight, now please continue with editing properly (✉→BWilkins←✎) 17:40, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The song was released like it was released, all the releases were simultaneous and all the releases are notable. Sorry, it looks like someone does not understand anything about the Japanese music industry, the industry that was No. 2 in the world the last time I checked, and doesn't want to understand. They sell so well exactly because their marketing tactics is very advanced, you haven't heard about it in your countries. Again, it is not only a song, it is a single, a physical CD single, a physical product. The article about the single has to have a track list and a personnel list. The single became the best-selling single of the year in Japan. This happened because there were many versions, because many girls participated, and because there were voting tickets included. And please, it you are going to make the same comments all over again, can we just stop? The discussion is not going anywhere. I will better explain it do Drmies when I am in the mood, I think his comments are much more constructive. --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:20, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've given the releases appropriate weight on the article with a prose paragraph. The tracklists are highlighting just the differences. Notes can be added regarding their promotional tactics (voting tickets, different girls or subgroups singing, also is the promotional tactic unique to AKB48 or typical of the industry) although whether they are "advanced" or "successful" is opinion unless it is backed up by the appropriate references. -AngusWOOF (talk) 18:55, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I looked at it. Thank you! The release section explaining the differences in editions in prose is nice. And it was clever to use the King Records profiles as references. And the catalog numbers, I never knew where to put them. (By the way, I don't really like how Ryulong used "collapsed=yes" option for CDs. I think only DVDs should be collapsed. But the most important thing is that he put the complete tracklists back and came with a way to make them shorter.) By the way, we can also add the lists of members in prose. Like Natalie did for "Virginity": [7]. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:24, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Are you not the same Moscowconnection wrote a highly articulate series of posts arguing against the use of kana at WT:WikiProject_Japan/Archive/May_2012?

The discussion did not end in any decision. I don't think it's correct to just go and remove the kana without discussing with Ryulong first. Also, since then I've found a couple of examples when the group was referred to as simply "キュート". And, by the way, you changed many other things in your edit too. :) --Moscow Connection (talk) 04:48, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Crazy Kanzen na Otona, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Saki Nakajima (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
1. Read this: Template:Did you know nominations/Momoiro Clover Z. It would be nice if you added something to the article too, some clever text. It would help the nomination and it would make the article better. 2. I moved everything to Momoiro Clover Z discography, it will be much safer there. The single released as Momoclo Tei Ichimon is also on the discography page, but I thought it was a bit out of place in the very short table that was left in the main article. For example, Morning Musume also released a single under a different name, and it is not even on the list of their singles. I think it's better like this. 3. I removed the slogans cause they were unsourced. It was necessary for the "Did you know" nomination. If you find reliable sources for everything, including the reasons the slogans were chosen, I will add them back. --Moscow Connection (talk) 04:50, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The article is quite random, I'm struggling to rewrite it. It would be nice if you helped by adding more important moments to the history of the group, and also by adding more general sentences about the group, its musical style, etc. to the Overview section. But it should be sourced. --Moscow Connection (talk) 05:04, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Could you read the entire article and correct the language? Basically, you can do whatever you want, rewrite any sentence however you want. Cause 1. I wrote it in a hurry. 2. I'm looking at it and this is not how I left it about a week ago cause other people changed it. 3. Whatever you do won't make it any worse or less recorgnizable to me. 4. The whole article needs some kind of idea, currently it is just a collection of random facts. --Moscow Connection (talk) 07:22, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I placed a copy of my rewrite of the Concept and Membership section in my User:AngusWOOF/sandbox. Please review that and mark it up with clarifies. I don't see where anything there is majorly wrong, but I have removed the stuff about counting Senbatsu members as the rules change for every election and tournament. Waiting Girls and added citation needed for the other election singles that needed referencing. I also updated the member count per the official site which DOES count Kenkyusei as members. The "research students" term is used in Yahoo and other media references. There is no more Team 4; they disbanded according to the calendar. Kenkyusei still fit the definition of understudy; I really don't think that needs to be described in detail beyond that term. -AngusWOOF (talk) 06:12, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited BABYMETAL, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Heavy metal (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
I approved your article earlier today. I think it's encyclopedic enough as of now. I have a few recommendations to make, though, in case you want to get this article further than DYK:
"Overall, the group and its music has been noted as progressive and forward-thinking." <-- No reference at all
"Momoiro Clover Z loosely parodies Japanese sentai (costumed superhero) shows and themes." <-- not supported by reference
"The band is proving the theme song" <-- the band is what?
The source is at the end of the paragraph, it says "Despite sticking out on the bill, Momoiro’s intricate J-pop fit in well at a festival full of similar forward-thinking acts." There was another source, this one, it says "Even if you think the result sounds horrible, it is progressive in its own way, and the idols that get the most attention from the experimental fringes tend to be the more musically ambitious ones." I'll add it back now.
The source says "The first, "Z Densetsu~Owarinaki Kakumei~" (Z legend, never-ending revolution), is a light-hearted squadron-hero parody." But I will add another reference from the article about the single ("Z Densetsu: Owarinaki Kakumei").
The band is "providing". It wasn't me who wrote the sentence.
On 30 April 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Momoiro Clover Z, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Japanese idol group Momoiro Clover Z(pictured) do not lip-synch in live performances even though their vocals are rendered unstable when coupled with dance moves? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Momoiro Clover Z. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Template:Hello! Project!
Thanks for the feedback. To be honest, I know little information about Hello Project nowadays. I based the template off of its Japanese counterpart... well, somewhat. I guess we can put S/mileage under Current Groups. What do you think? And yeah, I actually find the template bulky with all the former/current subgroups as well. I guess we'll be able to improve it in the future. Eugh jei ♥ Kaorin13:25, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The new version's better. :D The only problem, I think, is Mitsui's name not being on it as Hello! Project's sole soloist. Wikipedia readers might question it. For me, it's okay since she hasn't released anything yet. I think the real question is will she release anything. :3Eugh jei ♥ Kaorin23:26, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's why I deleted her. Because she hasn't released anything. She has been listed as a solo artist for a very long time now and nothing has happened. Also, there's only her, so she would look better in a section named something like "Other acts" (meaning "Current groups and solo artists"), together with Buono!, etc. By the way, where is she listed as a solo artist under Hello! Project? I don't even know. --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:39, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You can do whatever you want with the template. I just wanted to fix some mistakes, that's all. Whatever you do, the template can't possibly become worse than now. :) There are too many inactive acts, I can't think of a system to make the list less incomprehensible. You have improved it a lot already, I don't want to stop you. --Moscow Connection (talk) 00:13, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Everything after "I don't really want to discuss any editor personally" is completely irrelevant (who cares what edits they've made on other wikis?) and inappropriate. I strongly usge you to delete that entire portion of your remarks. LadyofShalott01:53, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't like it when I wrote it and looked at the preview, but decided to post it cause, as you can see, the post I replied to starts with "Recently, the user Moscowconnection don't want to replace the main picture." and it's like it discusses me personally, like if I did something wrong. But sure, I deleted it immediately. As I said, I didn't think it looked good and appropriate myself. But I decided it was relevant to the discussion after all, cause the discussion was about me. --Moscow Connection (talk) 02:06, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I the discussion opens with comments about your edits not about you, but I think you were edging over the line to commenting about the other editor in analysing their edits across multiple wikis. Anyway, thank you again for removing them. LadyofShalott02:10, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. You helped to delete something that I would have regretted later. I commented on the edits in other wikis because I have the Japanese Wikipedia article in my watch list. And I am the one who created the article in Spanish. So it's natural that I saw everything. I reverted only in the English Wikipedia, by the way. --Moscow Connection (talk) 02:27, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This may sound dumb, but how do I create a brand new page? Is there a short tutorial somewhere online I can glance at? I don't need or want to create a new page right now, but I may want to at some point in the future. I was thinking about fleshing out wiki's Japanese dramas/movies section (it's woefully lacking, asianwiki.com is much more thorough). Anyway, thanks for stopping by and saying hello! I'm just starting to get wiki figured out, you'll probably see me around. Oh, and don't be afraid to call me on my mistakes, you won't hurt my feelings. :) GrapperJ (talk) 06:49, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It's not dumb. :D I think "they" made it intentionally hard to find a way to do it. First, you need to be logged in. Then, you need to find yourself at the address where you want to create a page. I use Method 1, sometimes 2 or 3.
Search for something using the searchbox in the top right corner. For example, for "Fairies vs. Ninjas". Wikipedia will say «You may create the page "Fairies vs. Ninjas", but consider checking the search results below to see whether the topic is already covered.» Click on the red link "Fairies vs. Ninjas". An edit box will open.
Or, you can just type "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairies_vs._Ninjas" or "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairies vs. Ninjas" in the address bar. You'll see a page saying «Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name.» and there will be a "Create" button in a corner.
Open any Wikipedia article, write "[[Fairies vs. Ninjas]]". Don't click "Save page", click the "Show preview" button. You'll see a red link to "Fairies vs. Ninjas". Click it and there will be the same page with a "Create" button as described in Method 2.
By the way, I'm not sure there aren't other ways to do it. Like, some button I have never seen. It would be funny if there actually was a button for creating a new page with any title and I didn't know it. --Moscow Connection (talk) 17:13, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I can't do it now. I missed the first half of the live broadcast of the election, so I don't want to read the table until I watch a recording of it. :) --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:44, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. I'll paste it here:
(Names are arranged in gojuon order, as appearing on the official website, and include ranks (footnote) from each of the annual general elections starting from 2009.)
footnote: In the annual general election, the candidates are ranked 1-64 or x. A grey space in the table means the member was not a candidate for the election.
They are not ranked either 1–64 or "x". Before, there a lower number of places to be filled at an election. Since it's just a footnote at the very bottom, I'll reword it now without looking. --Moscow Connection (talk) 00:16, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/AKB48 timeline until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Drmies (talk) 16:39, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You only made 145 edits. Yet, I didn't say that the aim of your account is to make strange changes to something I write. :) By the way, if you insist, BABYMETAL will be moved to either Baby Metal or Babymetal (which is much worse). You should choose whether to insist or not. But since I had to notify Wikipedia admins to move the pages back (not to report you, but to move the pages), it is possible they will move the pages to some strange and unusual titles by tomorrow. Still better than "BabyMetal". --Moscow Connection (talk) 01:20, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For the AKB48 discography music videos section, I recommend removing the album and no. reference, so that it just lists the video, director, performance group if it lists a title other than AKB48, and then add a column for notes and references, as with Beyoncé_Knowles_videography#List_of_music_videos. The music video can always be linked back to the appropriate singles articles. Notes can be used for video charting or details like the large number of extras for Koi Suru, or how that sister group made 63 different versions of the same music video and set a Guinness World Record as a result. -AngusWOOF (talk) 14:45, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's a good idea to remove the single titles, leaving just the numbers. Especially since the first track is the title track. But I'm against removing the numbers cause I think it's important to group all the videos like that. And surely, if some song is not listed as a song by a team of a subgroup/unit, it's not necessary to repeat "AKB48, AKB48" every time. It's okay to add a notes section, but I think we should try to write just one comment for every single and use a lots of <br />s to make the table narrower. --Moscow Connection (talk) 16:57, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've also just merged the "Music video" and "Artist" columns to save space. You can do it differently if you want. But now you can add long comments if you wish. --Moscow Connection (talk) 17:35, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. It's an online way to listen to the songs and support the bands. I added some track lengths based on what they listed there; it might be off by a second depending on what list to view (webpage for spotify instead of what's in spotify itself). I also listened to the off vocal versions on some of the tracks, and they have no backing vocals whatsoever, so can remove any specific off-vocal tracks where they explicitly credit lyrics to Akimoto. -AngusWOOF (talk) 19:15, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think the only right place to find track lengths is the CDs. So we should better trust the Japanese Wikipedia and just copy all track lengths from there. By the way, since you are here... :))) In the tables you created for all the AKB48 members, there's a column named "role". I think it's rather misleading, cause I don't think there's such thing as a "main role". If you mean "media sembatsu", write "media sembatsu". If you mean "main vocals" (like, the ones who have solo parts), write "main vocals". If you mean the front row of 5 or 7 singers or something, then better write a fan name for that. I understand that a research would be needed for each single to do that, so probably the easiest way is to write "A-side" the same way you wrote "B-side". (And maybe you did mean "A-side", I didn't think about that. :)) --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:52, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding track lengths, yes, the best would be the CD cover or insert if available; I can leave a comment in each section where it refers to it as source (cover insert, Japanese wikipedia, iTunes/Spotify/music service). For Role, I treat it like a filmography of whether they participated on the title track and whether they are the center. I'm good with calling that "A-side" I don't want to dive into the original research assignments like "right of center in front row" or "centers for Team B when they perform this live" or "solos the second verse of the second stanza" or "the girl with the green hat, solos in video" stuff, etc. -AngusWOOF (talk) 14:28, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've just redirected "Off vocal" to "Backing track". I found the right word for this a long time ago, but forgot to redirect. That's what it is, a backing track, not a karaoke version. There are no backing vocals probably because there are no backing vocals on AKB48 songs. :) But I'm not sure. As I said earlier, there was something that sounded like vocals, but in fact was synthesized. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:58, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good. It looks like "Off vocal" redirects to "backing track" here anyway :) The off vocals I've heard so far (Eien Pressure, Koi suru) don't have backing vocals; I can listen to the others. -AngusWOOF (talk) 14:28, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You are doing a good work with all these pages. :) The "Role" column still looks a bit strange, but I don't really know how to do it better. Everythhing looks nice, there's a lot of useful info now. :) --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:49, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think I need to explain. I added the line breaks on purpose. The article looks better like that. Therefore it's not an error and it doesn't have to be fixed.

Disambiguation link notification for November 11
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Suzuka Nakamoto, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Heavy metal (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
My edits were perfectly correct. I understand that the title didn't look right, but you actually reverted to an incorrect version (cause someone changed Suzuka Nakamoto's birth date and I changed it back). In short, in my 3 edits you reverted: 1. I reverted Suzuka Nakamoto's birth date to the correct one. 2. I added a link to a newly created article about Suzuka Nakamoto. 3. I changed the romanization of the title "ヘドバンギャー!!" to the way it is officially written by the band (see this). "ヘドバンギャー!!" is not "Headbanger!!". They wrote the word differently in Japanese (longer, cuter sounding last syllable) and they also write it differently in English. ("Headbanger!!" would be "ヘドバンガー!!".) --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:33, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are cordially invited to join WikiProject Eurovision!
You appear to be someone that may be interested in joining WikiProject Eurovision. Please accept this formal invitation from a current member of the project.
We offer a place for you to connect with users who also like Eurovision and facilitate team work in the development of Eurovision articles.
I'm very sorry I've just reverted your revert. You see, it is not forbidden to add YouTube links if they are official. I didn't say anything yesterday cause the article about JESC 2013 didn't have the links to start with. According to Wikipedia guidelines, you had every right to revert me on the page that didn't have the links before I came. I had to start a discussion on the talk page to put the links back. I would really hope that you let me add the links cause I think we all are interested in helping people to know more about Eurovision song contests. One picture is worth a thousand words. Adding links like this is natural. If paper encyclopedias could contain complete texts of everything, complete videos depicting all the events in the history of mankind, I am sure they would print them all too. We, here in the Internet, have this opportunity, and we should link Wikipedia to everything, to all the sites containing more knowledge about the events. I like tables and videos because they are either easier to comprehend or contain more information than any text in a Wikipedia article could ever contain.
I see some red squares again. Probably you reverted me again or posted on my talk page. I have to go now, but I will revert you back until the community of Wikipedia editors comes to some sort of consensus to remove the links. Sorry.
Just think, would it be better if the readers could just watch the complete event instead of reading all these (horrible) articles? (My articles are horrible, I know it.) I personally think that I would prefer a YouTube link to the whole article about JESC 2013.
As for your invitation to join the Eurovision Project... You see, my interest in Eurovision is occasional. And all my interest in Wikipedia is occasional lately too... I can't really... I'm still here on Wikipedia cause sometimes I see something that I want people to know about, so I return to add an article about it to Wikipedia... Now I think I probably shouldn't have returned to the English Wikipedia again... I really don't understand why people insist like this and revert me... Were these links useful? They certainly were. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:42, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly they are forbidden if used for external linking purposes. They can be used for citations within a prose, but not as an external link. It is because they are classified as promotional material, and wikipedia is not for promotional material. An admin told you 18 months ago about this, and you acknowledged them. So why now have you decided to disregard their advice? The links themselves contain adverts, which is against policy. The YouTube channel you linked belongs to the EBU, and they are very strict when it come to copyright violating. Believe me, I was forced to take a YT link off my own Facebook page that I linked from Eurovision Channel, and I was not impressed when the EBU threatened to take legal action against me. Do you really think the Wikipedia bosses would be overly pleased if they got threatened by the EBU for having a link which you posted? Who do you think they'd come chasing after first? I'm only watching your back at the end of the day, as you are a good editor. I'd hate to see you get in trouble over a YT link. If people want to view YT then they are capable of doing so themselves, we're not here to hold viewers hands. We're here to provide research material. Let's stick to the sole purpose of Wikipedia shall we.
It isn't a case of what you like, it is what the Wikipedia community has imposed. Wikipedia is not here to be linking to every god forsaken site via external links. There is a limitation as well as common sense on what we can and cannot link. That's why there are policies that explicitly state this. Threatening to keep reverting will only result in your account getting blocked for exceeding WP:3RR, and they can range from 24 hours up to 3 months or more. Do you really want to have your editing privileges stopped just for the sake of "making something prettier because that's how you want it"? C'mon, time to be proper and grown up here. Wikipedia is for providing written material, use YouTube in citations, but not for the sake of giving someone a place to go watch the music video, or full replay of the contest. Fans already know where to go to find that stuff, and they would not be coming here first to look for it. WesMᴥuse14:54, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Also you said that you'd keep reverting me until the community of Wikipedia editors comes to some sort of consensus to remove the links. Sorry my friend, but they already have, 4 years ago, 3 years ago, and 2 months ago at admin noticeboard. According to the admins music videos used in external links are a serious violation of WP:NOTDIRECTORY. So best to avoid them as externals. Used as a reference to cite a prose text within the article though is permitted. As your method does not do this, then they cannot be used. WesMᴥuse15:15, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Thank you for not reverting me and writing here instead! I've just wrote to you too: User talk:Wesley Mouse#Reverts. I am very sorry, but since there are no copyright violations here, then there's nothing to avoid. :) As I can remember, the admin didn't say that there could be no links at all. Drmies just said that adding too many links was ridiculous. I agree that I overdid it back then. I personally think that having a couple of links is okay. --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:22, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Could you show me where it was decided that Eurovision-related articles can't contain any links to YouTube? If there was such a decision, I will obey. (I would have to start a new discussion about it and so on, but I don't care about Eurovision-related articles enough to do it...) It would be easier for me just to surrender. I wonder why some editors are so persistent in small matters like this one... --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:22, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) These's some other red square. Sorry, I have to go now... As for joining the Eurovision Project... Thank you for you invitation, but I can't... I would really prefer just to create new articles occasionally... It is very sad that just when it seemed that we two could work together, there appeared some other matter you felt very strong about, strong enough to revert me several times in a row... Remember, Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle... You reverted two or three times (including another article). --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:22, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Do you even know how Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle works? I removed the YT links explaining why. You then reverted them back. I then did Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle, which is what created this thread. What you should have done was to engage in discussion, not revert things back again, and thus put yourself into WP:3RR territory. Really, I should be going to WP:ANI now and reporting 3RR violations, but I ma assuming good faith in that you were not fully aware of how WP:BRD works. I have provided above 3 archived discussion from the Admin Noticeboards, which all show that YouTube links are only allowed if used in the main article prose as at {{cite web}}. They cannot be used in the external links for the sake of providing readers navigational access to re-watch the contest or segments of the contest again. If fans wants to do that,k they would go to those pages directly first, before even coming here. We are not the directory, we are the encyclopaedia. Google is the directory, YouTube is the directory. WesMᴥuse15:32, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Since you reverted me again, theatened me with WP:ANI (what for, who reverted who first and how many times?), notified Drmies saying that I was the one who dragged him into this discussion (if it was me, then what is the link saying "18 months ago" doing there, on top of this discussion?), etc., then let's stop this, okay? Please... I don't agree with you and I think there isn't much logic in what you say about violating copyright (the videos are uploaded by the European Broadcasting Union)... But who cares... Okay? (I didn't want to reply at all, but I thought someone might read this thread and think that I did something wrong... Please don't be angry if I don't reply... My plans were to go away for some time...) --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:37, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hold it there for one second. As I pointed out above, I did bold, revert, discuss. It was you who failed to follow on with the "discuss", by reverting for a second time. That was wrong of you to do for starters, and made it look as if you were trying to prove a point because things were not being done to your liking. I never threatened you with ANI. If you read again, I said I should have done (which is what you'll find most people would have done) but I chose not to as I assumed good faith in the fact that you may have misunderstood WP:BRD. So that was not a threat at all. If it were to be a threat, then I would not have informed you about it, I would have just done it. I never mentioned Drmies first, I mentioned the discussion regarding this matter which took place 18 months ago, and that is clear in the fact that I linked to that discussion and used the term "18 months ago". It was you who mentioned Drmies, directly by name - thus you dragged him in this for no reason. And you don't have to agree with me. I have provided you with guidance links as well as links to previous discussion regarding YouTUbe links, that have taken place at the administration noticeboard. You made reference to the fact that you would willingly engage in edit warring until an admin told you that YouTube links are not allowed. That in itself is a threat made by you. I gave links to discussions which shown admins clearly stating that YouTube links are only allowed in citations, and not as external links. I read all those old discussions and they all say the same thing, that they breach what Wikipedia is not, they go against WP:NOTDIRECTORY, and as was pointed out 18 months ago, they also constitute promotional material. The primary objective here is to provide articles that are neutral, and of educational content. A video link of a contest replay is not educational, it is entertainment. Fans would not visit Wikipedia first to solely find a YouTube link to a contest replay. That is common logic. A fan has sense to go to the YouTube website directly to find such videos. By putting the links on here, you are insulting the intelligence of the fans, by saying they have not got the brains to look on YouTube first. The articles alone describe the content as it is. They don't need video links for cosmetic and/or padding purposes. And that is the point that you seem to fail to grasp. If I had not removed the links, then it would only have been a matter of time before someone on the project did, as they all know the guidance about YouTube links being added to the external links section. Your actions are basically insulting their intelligence, not mine. WesMᴥuse18:56, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You provided many links and there are many people saying different things in different situations. If the videos were so easy to find, why do these official uploads have much less views than other, illegally uploaded, ones? I think you would actually helped fight piracy by providing the only legitimate links. But okay, I understand your position, let's not argue anymore... I have left the Eurovision-related pages for now... --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:48, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(off-topic) Just look at these vids. The picture is worth 1 billion words. You can't possibly describe it in words. :) It is just not possible to see this and not add a link. Don't you like to share with people?
I'm not sure what y'all are talking about, which articles in which links. I have interacted with Moscow Connection over various things including video links, but in the context of K-pop articles. We have guidelines and policies, of course, but before that we have common sense and editorial practice, not to mention context: what is fine in one article may not be fine in another, and a lot depends on the function of the link and the content and author of the video in question. Moscow Connection was nice enough to ping me in one of their comments, by the way, so notifying me wasn't necessary and, at any rate, I don't feel "dragged" into anything. Let me add also that I don't believe I have acted toward Moscow Connection in my capacity as an administrator, only as an editor. Without specific context, I have to assume that the business of these video links is an editorial matter possibly containing interpretation of a guideline, and not primarily some kind of violation, so a. I don't feel the need to put on my admin hat and b. whatever I told Moscow Connection earlier was not (if memory serves me right) some kind of administrative edict. In other words, my comments carry no particular special force, outside perhaps that of an editor with some experience here. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 22:09, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It's all this "a picture speaks a million words" fiasco. 1. it is video, not a picture. 2. this is an encyclopaedia using primarily written prose, not a YouTube directory, and 3. there's such thing as a script which actually does describe what happened in a video performance (so words do in fact describe the video). And for the fact that you have said the links are there to help guide a reader to YT to watch the performances again, does not serve as an encyclopaedic point of view. It just makes it look like we're hosting YT links just for the sake of cosmetic purposes. Like I keep saying, if someone is purposely going looking for a YouTube link, then they would visit YouTube first, not here. A person's intellect is not that stupid that they'd come to Wikipedia first to search for a YT link. People visit Wikipedia to research on whatever it is they are researching. Just like people visit YouTUbe to purposely search for videos. To put into a different perspective; would you go to YouTube and search for a Wikipedia article? No, you'd come here to do that. So I see no purpose for us to be using YT clips in the external sections just to highlight a replay of a contest or a replay of a song. If we started to put these videos on every Eurovision/Junior Eurovision, then it would turn us into some sort of YouTube directory, especially when there's well over 1000 entries combined. A limit has to be drawn, so it would be better to have none, than over a 1000. WesMᴥuse00:45, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And on another aspect, it is not our responsibility as Wikipedian editors to be tackling YouTube's piracy issues. That is their job to do. Would you expect the bosses at YouTube to start tackling our vandalism edits or start blocking people on Wikipedia? No, you wouldn't. You asked "If the videos were so easy to find, why do these official uploads have much less views than other, illegally uploaded, ones?" - the answer is simple. It all depends on what keywords the individual inputs to find what it is they are looking for. And then it is their choice which video from the search results they wish to view. Just because official uploads get fewer views than unofficial ones has nothing to do with it. It is down to human choice. To put it another way, you had to visit YouTube and input what it was you were looking for, in order to link it on here... correct? So answer vthis, what was it that made you click on a particular video link to view? I know now why, it was because that was your personal choice to click on a particular link, as is the case for other people in the world who visit YouTube, they click on what catches their eye the most. So if you could find the video on YouTube, then I'm 99.9% sure the rest of the human race is capable of doing the same. We're not here to hold their hands, we're here to write up articles for educational purposes. And then you say "(off-topic) Just look at these vids. The picture is worth 1 billion words. You can't possibly describe it in words. :) It is just not possible to see this and not add a link. Don't you like to share with people?". Not quite "off-topic" to be fair, was it? Videos are not there to write up articles for educational purposes (see WP:NOTPLOT). We're suppose to write articles based on written sources. It is very possible to see a video and not add a link. I watch hundreds of music videos on YouTube, and I don't link everything I view just to highlight to other what I have viewed. Not everyone is interested in that, if they were interested they'd have looked up the video themselves. You asked do I like to share with people? Yes I do, but there is a place to do the sharing, and that's social media. This isn't social media, this is a research factory. WesMᴥuse03:28, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The other day you asked "Could you show me where it was decided that Eurovision-related articles can't contain any links to YouTube? If there was such a decision, I will obey.", although you further added "(I would have to start a new discussion about it and so on, but I don't care about Eurovision-related articles enough to do it...)" which implies that you were not going to obey even if a decision to omit YT links was agreed. The second bullet-point of this project discussion which reads "Link to the Eurovision.tv website should be enough. Allowing in fansites is just going to open the flood gates and is more trouble than its worth. Many videos on YouTube are copyvios and those should not be linked to per WP:YT. CT Cooper · talk 3:24 pm, 30 May 2012, Wednesday (1 year, 6 months, 6 days ago) (UTC+1)". There is the decision not to have YT links in the external section. And that I believe concludes this debate. Happy editing! WesMᴥuse06:44, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Japanverse
This source appears to be a webzine, and as such would by definition fail WP:RS by a country mile. Please do not use it as a source for anything. Similarly, adding Youtube links to band articles has long contravened WP:EL. Please don't. That is what Google, or indeed Youtube, are for. We are supposed to be an encyclopedia, not advertising space. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 20:07, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If you find something that passes WP:RS for the death metal claim, that's fine. The edit commentary "they say they are death metal, so they are death metal" is roughly the most ridiculous thing I've heard all day. That is absolutely the antithesis of how WP works. make sure your reliable source is independent and printed in some professional source, preferably print. Webzines totally fail the criteria, so if using an online source it has to be one that has elsewhere been published by an independent, third-party professional body (hence we allow Allmusic and MusicMight, but not Metal Archives or Japanverse). Repeated additions to the list articles without such sources will be considered vandalism. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 20:19, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a source for one of their songs, called "BABYMETAL DEATH", being of the death metal genre. Talking of vandalism, I'm sorry, but the way you tagged a group that had a couple of top ten hits with a notability tag may well be considered vandalism. :D I will add more sources shortly. (Allmusic is not very professional, by the way. As for Babymetal, Babymetal had several releases reviewed by Rolling Stone (Rolling Stone Japan, to be exact). I'm sure the same can't be said about 99 percent of death metal groups in the list where you removed them from.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:37, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a nice English-language source for other genres: [11]. Barks (ja) is a reliable music news site. There have been plenty of articles about them in the Japanese media, they are very popular. I can find some more if it is needed. But I think it's enough. As for the song "BABYMETAL DEATH" being death metal, it is also said here, for example: [12]. ("デスメタルナンバー" means "death metal number", search for it.) I couldn't find any source for "melodic death metal", though. I reverted that edit of yours simply because there was no edit summary and at the first glance it looked like your purpose was simply to eradicate all memory of Babymetal (and some other bands you removed from the list in the same edit). --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:31, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not blindly revert to restore content that actually is on the article presently. Your edit removed every single improvement to formatting (removal of birth prefectures, conversion of {{birth date}} to {{birth date and age}}) that the talk page thought was beneficial. I only removed the table for the kenkyusei in my recent edits. It's pointless for them because they have no votes.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 19:19, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The table is not "unreadable". Check the talk page. People like no prefectures. I have made several corrections to errors in formatting that you are removing every single time. Participate in the discussion on the talk page instead of edit warring for fucks sake.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:00, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If you persist in edit warring rather than discussing things with myself, Angus Woof, Rka001, and others who I can't remember off of the top of my head, you may be blocked for edit warring. This is the new consensus version that a majority of people agree on.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:04, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
For fucks sake stop reverting me. The version I've produced is actually liked by people on the talk page. They are all in agreement that the prefecture information is pointless. Stop reverting. Stop breaking everything that I fixed in the older versions. There were so many god damn malformed dates of birth in there. There were abbreviated ones, ones that weren't provided in the proper formatting, and names that were just written wrong. I have been actively discussing the edits on the talk page. You have not. This is the new consensus version. Stop reverting me and discuss shit on the talk page now.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 13:56, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Then just remove the prefectures. It will take less time than fixing after you. People liked the list the way it was before. I think your version is so awful that any normal person would want to destroy it immediately. It's not fair. --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:58, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I will now fix your awful version. :) It will take ages. But I will make the tables small again. They will look as before, but without the prefectures. Please don't revert. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:02, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There are multiple people there who agree with the current state of the article, because most of the opposition is to my original complete deletion of the tables and vote information, and the discussion is currently underway as to where the vote stuff is supposed to go. My version adds the proper way to write the names of many of the members of the group where there were errors before, removes the prefectures, and adds their current ages. Simply because you think it's ugly doesn't mean you're right and I'm wrong. Stop reverting. Participate in the talk page discussion. Do not change anything because there were so many mistakes before. There were so many names written completely wrong, and at Momoiro Clover Z there is no reason to have a table just to say what color they wear, having a box of that color, and to have the Kanji of their names when each member has her own article. Please stop and discuss things on the talk pages before you do all this shit.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 14:03, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You need to realize that Wikipedia isn't your catch all idol group fansite that you seem to be turning it into. There is no need to make things "pretty" because you seem to think that these "ugly" versions of the tables aren't good or that tables are necessary to present this information.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 14:19, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not trying to turn Wikipedia into anything. For your information, the AKB48 article wasn't even on my watch list as of yesterday, before I saw the discussion on the talk page. You need to realize that there are other editors on Wikipedia and they may not agree with you and it is not nice to enforce your opinions. You should discuss before making any changes. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:25, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Re: Babymetal
Check the source. It's subtitled in English. They say exactly what I put there. Don't remove sourced information just because you think it is irrelevant. The origins of the name of a band or any other subject is such a basic information, no wonder many articles at Wikipedia have sometimes entire sections covering etymology. Since when the official website of a band is the only valid source? Not everything about a topic will be in its official website, you know. That's why we have magazines, newspapers, books, etc. And how do you know they simply "decided to invent a clever story" for the name? Blabbermouth is a reliable source, but I will add a direct link to Razor TV since that's the precise source. If you're still somehow against the addition of sourced valid information, you are invited to explain your reasons at the topic I just created at the article's talk page. Let's center the discussion there. If we don't reach an agreement, I'll resource to content dispute resolution. Victão LopesFala!17:19, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Kanako Momota
I'm really sorry about the article. I reacted with mild shock when I saw it in the preparation area for the Main Page. I know you have put in a lot of effort into it, and it's easy for someone to just come in and criticise it to death. I can understand how you might be feeling, and I hope you will not be driven away by this minor setback. This could have been avoided if the dyk reviewer was more experienced and gave you hints to improve it, but I'm disconcerted that it seems that's not what DYK reviews are about. I have contacted one experienced editor resident in Japan who I hope could help out. Failing which, you should post on WP:JAPAN for editors familiar with the language and culture, and WP:BIOGRAPHY to better understand the job of writing biographies.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to AKB48 may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s and 1 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
Please please please copy the text into a page like your sandbox and work on it there instead of breaking the live article. My version is not missing members. You have deleted them as far as I can tell.
I only deleted the members that were transferred overseas. (The list is incorrect anyway, it hasn't been updated in ages.) You deleted Amina Sato, for one. It is very hard to spot if there are any more members missing because of the unofficial order. --Moscow Connection (talk) 07:26, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There is no such thing as an "official order". The Japanese website uses the Japanese gojuon ordering. It would be the same if they had an English website and they used the English alphabetical ordering. Holy cow. But please, before you try to "fix" things on the main article in multiple edits in a row, make the proposed changes in a sandbox so it looks perfect before you institute it.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 07:52, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well that's because Japan doesn't know the English alphabet. English Wikipedia. English ordering systems unless there's an established hierarchy.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 08:38, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Your recent editing history at AKB48 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
You are both edit-warring. You have been warned. I suggest you stop now. (Note that bit above in bold text that says you can still be blocked even if you don't technically violate the three-revert rule.) --DAJF (talk) 08:40, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
WP:OWNTALK states that I am free to remove content from my own user talk page as I wish. There is no imperative to keep that warning there. Additionally, I request that I not be given templated user warnings. Thank you. Now do not post on my user talk page again unless you require my assistance with an article and keep all discussion pertaining to improving or changing AKB48 to Talk:AKB48.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 08:47, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And again I note that you are forbidding me from editing a page when I stated my intent to incorporate the sections better. Perhaps you should read up on WP:OWN.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 08:50, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I see now that we are both edit-warring. (I didn't know it didn't have to be the same reverts. I stopped after 3 reverts to the section order and I didn't know other reverts counted cause the other matter wasn't important and Ryulong said he only reverted me because of errors in wiki formatting.) I've stopped. It's good I didn't go to admins, then. :) I probably have to thank you for your warning cause I had no idea I did something wrong. --08:55, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
I reverted that Ryulong
He should have been blocked (again!) by now since administrators placed him on 1RR, so file a report on him. might I suggest, WP:AN?
It think it would be polite from me if I didn't file a report yet. I don't really want him to be blocked. (If he was placed on 1RR, it will be easy to do it if he continues.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 12:47, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Moscow Connection, the IP that left this message belongs to a banned user. He is lying about what has transpired. I was never put on 1RR.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 14:55, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I see you've started translating the titles to the citations per my suggestion. I'd just like to point out that your efforts at this point in time would be most effective if focussed at getting the content right. You are already aware that the translations may eventually be useful but are principally as a courtesy to the non-Japanese reader. What's more, until the content issue is settled, you will not know the final scope of translation effort. If eventually some content needs to be removed, you precious time and effort will have been optimised without having done unnecessary translations.

I think if a slash is not between two words but between titles, there should be spaces. Show me some guide of English style and usage or something. If I'm incorrect, I will surrender in this case. Cause I may be wrong. But what I am saying seems logical. --Moscow Connection (talk) 03:15, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Momoiro Clover Z. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
I did not start any war! Ryulong came and started it. Anosola reverted him too, look in the edit history. Why are you doing this again? Why don't you warn Ryulong (the one who started the edit war)? I am the one who is writing the article, not the one who comes and just makes small annoying changes. Please stop interfering. Do you want me off Wikipedia forever? --Moscow Connection (talk) 04:37, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As I mentioned in my edit summary, please re-read Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle if you haven't already. Your bold edit was reverted by Ryulong (with a reasonable explanation), but instead of taking this to the Talk page to gain consensus, you simply reverted his edit, which constitutes WP:Edit warring, which is why I placed the warning notice above on your Talk page. If you continue to edit war in spite of the warning, you can expect to be reported. I am also a little concerned about your remarks above, such as "I am the one who is writing the article" and "Stop interfering", as these imply you wish to own the Momoiro Clover Z article, something that is not an option on a communal project like Wikipedia. In the meantime, please have a look at well-developed articles on other famous bands to see how they treat the "History" and "Discography" sections: One Direction (a "Good Article"), Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, ABBA, Atomic Kitten, to name just a small random selection. --DAJF (talk) 05:10, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Section order. Ryulong changed it, I reverted. Yes, it took me a long time to react, but I have been avoiding to look at the article almost since Japanglish and Ryulong highjacked it. A month ago I only restored the table of members, I didn't read the article and therefore didn't notice the change in the section order. --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:38, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hey
I meant to get back to your DYK, but I've been a bit busy and scattered; I'm sorry that wasn't happening for you at the time. I'll have a look at that other matter too, when I can. Drmies (talk) 22:58, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Also, trust is a two-way street. If you don't want to give out personal information, that's fine, but I'm not going to respond to the email, since that gives away mine. If you like, you can email me the information, which I will treat confidentially. Drmies (talk) 00:18, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much! I will email you then. But now I may disappear for a few days. I am a bit scattered myself right now cause every time I visit the English Wikipedia, it puts me into a scattered mood. I am just waiting for the DYK to end and then I will take a break. (I have already tried to disappear, but the DYK nomination just doesn't end and doesn't let me go away.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:39, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mima Ito, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Japanese and Spiegel (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Since you created the page and want to keep in clean, please feel free to revert my edit. Obviously, I think it strengthens your article, showing that she does have a difficult job and is doing it, but I have to admit that is just my opinion all the best RonaldDuncan (talk) 19:22, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I recently got good advice for wording a hook: link only the article in question. (By the author of the other disputed nomination, where ALT11 was finally taken and appeared without problems.) That's a bit extreme, but think about two extra links, as in your ALT4. You want people to click your article, they will find the others when they get there, - if the hook says it all they will not get there. Today's lead had only one link and will make the stats: ... that the Thousand-year Rose(pictured) is believed to be the world's oldest rose? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:47, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. (I think I won't touch ALT4 for now. Cause it won't help and will just look like I'm still thinking I can push ALT4 or any hook mentioning the meme through. I think there are some people who want to kill the nomination regardless of the hook. Here's one comment [14]. And I'm afraid there are many more people who are thinking the same thing, but they simply don't openly say it. (If not, why wouldn't they propose another hook instead?) --Moscow Connection (talk) 10:09, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Natalia Poklonskaya until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Barney the barney barney (talk) 14:59, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, about this: Wikipedia:Move review/Log/2014 April. Read the rules: Wikipedia:Move review. The procedure is mostly for deciding whether a nomination was closed correctly. And in this case there was no consensus and the discussiion was closed as "no consensus". I think you should keep calm and you probably shouldn't have replied to the nominator cause his latest comment was obviously POV and revealed the true reasons for the request. I think you should remove all caps in your reply. (Yes, you should probably keep an eye on the nomination, but I don't think the closure can possibly be reverted.) I would like to draw your attention to another POV editor. (Because I'm not good at fighting and I haven't edited political aticles until recently.) Look at the edit history of this article: Eurasian Observatory for Democracy and Elections. The editor also removes references to Russia Today from everywhere: [15], [16]. Look at his contributions. He really deserves the administrators' attention. --Moscow Connection (talk) 07:24, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How nice to receive this message from a user who is edit warring against me. And who is in the wrong, cause I'm just reverting to a stable state. --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:01, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I'm LiphradicusEpicus. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Accession of Crimea to the Russian Federation without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. I must ask you to stop deleting reliably sourced information, as this is unwikipedian. You are also refusing to assume good faith and are in violation of the NPOV policy. Thank you. მაLiphradicusEpicusთე20:33, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I would like you to keep in mind what you said to Darkness Shines about a "stable state", but regarding this article. I think that having both pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian terms is stable; if you will notice, I did not delete the part that said "accession", I simply made it an alternate title ("also called by some the accession of...."); this is to reflect the global majority-minority ratio on the topic. Probably 80% of the world...and literally every reliable English source I have seen...refers to it as "annexation"; the other 20%'s, a.k.a. "the minority's", view is reflected secondarily.
After altering another, unrelated user's edit to the article, it seems to be fully neutral now; as the in-page title (though awkwardly) now reflects the truest neutrality. Since you and I both are very strongly biased on opposing sides, let us compromise on the page title and formally request that the page be renamed to something such as "The Incorporation of"; and then the actual text can have the titles the way they are now. I think if we did that, it would really close out much of the dispute! Thanks. მაLiphradicusEpicusთე
I also added 9 of your talk page references into the text for the term "accession", this way there will be an equal number of references to both terms. I think you'll really appreciate the changes! Anyway, I hope this eases up the situation! :) მაLiphradicusEpicusთე
This eases up the situation a lot because instead of worrying about the article I added your talk page to my watchlist and grabbed some popcorn, as I expect some admins to come and reprehend you. :) You should familiarize yourself with the rules of Wikipedia. Some of your edits just don't comply to them. Like, yesterday I had all the right to revert you cause you changed the opening paragraph so that it disagreed with the article's title. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:38, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Would you prefer a different title, such as "Adoption" or "Reunification" instead of "Incorporation"? I would happily accept these titles too; though in my opinion, "adoption" seems a tad bit biased and I'm not sure other editors favoring "annexation" would approve of this. Let me know what's up! მაLiphradicusEpicusთე
I would agree to any of these titles, but currently "Reunification" would probably be too much for the English Wikipedia. :) I'm not sure which one I would prefer. By the way, I wasn't pinged from another discussion. (Probably because you linked my talk page instead of my user page.) I will probably stay away from the discussion for a while and see how it goes. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:06, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please take a look here WP:TALKO about removing things from talkpage. You are not jet an administrator. You should have raised the issue not taken the action yourself before. It is censorship turning back talkpage on Your own opinion. --Klõps (talk) 18:09, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've explained to you about RfC. You ruined the request by adding lenghty unsigned comments that could be suggestive to people. See your talk page: User talk:Klõps#RfC. I have also just moved my comments so that they were below yours. I think it's fair. --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:18, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! There is a DR/N request you may have interest in.
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Babymetal, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page JP (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
First, this is just painfully incorrect romanization per WP:MOS-JA. No one puts an apostrophe after the N unless it comes before a vowel or a Y kana. Next, you are wrong in your determination of what it means. It is not an abbreviation of "no"; "n da" is the informalized "n desu" copula, and because it's such a short, it's just combined with the previous word. My only source that's Japanese that has this things name in English is Rakuten who are categorizing it as "NAITEMO IINDAYO". I think this is a good enough correction to separate the two particles. If you think this is wrong, start a move discussion because now you completely ruined any chance I had of moving it to a compromise title of "Naite mo Iin Da yo" because you had to make a billion redirects.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 08:48, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't ruin anything. You ruined the chance to move it to "Naite mo Iin Da yo". I was just going to move it back to "Naite mo Ii n' Da yo" and then to "Naite mo Iin Da yo" (both times over a redirect). Let's just tag "Naite mo Iin Da yo" with {{db-move}} to make space for the move. --Moscow Connection (talk) 08:57, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Because an article can be moved over a redirect only if the only edit in the history of the target was redirecting it to the article that is being moved. After you saw that "Naite mo Iin Da yo" was already a redirect to "Naite mo Ii n' Da yo", you should have moved the article back to "Naite mo Ii n' Da yo" and then to "Naite mo Iin Da yo". Do you agree to move the article to "Naite mo Iin Da yo"? Can I tag "Naite mo Iin Da yo" for speedy deletion to make space for the move? --Moscow Connection (talk)
I think "Naitemo iindayo" or "Naitemo-iindayo" is the the best. If you write as "Iindayo", "Ii(いい)" is confusingly similar to "li(り)" especially when it's displayed in Gothic font.--Anosola (talk) 10:24, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Misusing a process discussion for spreading your personal political opinions, as you did here [17], is unacceptable on Wikipedia, especially when it's about a hot political topic like the present Crimea conflict.
The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to Eastern Europe. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, satisfy any standard of behavior, or follow any normal editorial process. If you inappropriately edit pages relating to this topic, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read at the "Final decision" section of the decision page.
Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page before making any further edits to the pages in question. This notice is given by an uninvolved administrator and will be logged on the case decision, pursuant to the conditions of the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions system.
Not sure what you mean about "inappropriate". I've explained that BBC and Reuters treat it as a separate event: [18]. Separate event, separate article. I don't see anything "inappropriate". —Moscow Connection (talk) 14:26, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't copy information from other articles. (I've just copied a small sentence now: [19], but it was the first and after you warned for the "inappropriate article".) —Moscow Connection (talk) 15:04, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Why? I've looked at the timeline and there's nothing there. It really looks like if someone wanted to keep it clean from anything remotely pro-Russian or anti-Maidan. (I wonder who is controlling the page if it looks like a press release of the current Ukrainian power.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:46, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I want to make this clear, again. We do not duplicate content that is on other pages. The timeline you are 'expanding' may not be verbatim copied, but it is information that has already been extant at other articles. That duplication isn't useful. Instead of trying to work around the system, it would be helpful if you actually discussed and contributed to the ongoing discussions at 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine and Donetsk People's Republic. Please stop the duplication of content. RGloucester — ☎19:11, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If there's some of the same content, it doesn't really matter. Also, there are no articles about the Donetsk People's Republic in the Russian and Ukrainian Wikipedias, so even if the English page gets deleted somehow, my work won't be in vain. I'm working on the article and you've already did what you wanted to do (promoted it for deletion), now please don't interfere with people contributing to Wikipedia. (Don't delete links to it, don't delete any material from it, just wait and see what other Wikipedia editors decide. And I am going to expand the article cause this is what I believe is the right thing to do.) —Moscow Connection (talk) 19:21, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've already said that I did not "find content" in any other articles (except one part I mentioned before). I created this article completely by myself and its scope is different from anything else. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:44, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ukrainian names are used for places in Ukraine in English Wikipedia
I would like to say that I am only trying to create consistency within Wikipedia with this message.
In common English usage Ukrainian names are used for places in Ukraine by English language media and scholars these days (and only in case of Kiev (hence not Kyiv) and Odessa (hence not Odesa) there Russian counterparts are used). So to reflect common English usage & for consistency within 2014 East Ukraine crisis article + others in future please do not write (in English Wikipedia):
Thank you for the explanation. (I'm not sure about Luhansk and Kharkiv reflecting common English usage, though.) (But I didn't do it on purpose, I just wrote the names and looked at the links, and they weren't red.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 17:58, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What? Are you intentionally lying?
Where is Viktor Yanukovych? (VIDEO, UPDATE)
Today's great guessing game is where ex-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych is hiding out. Border guards said they stopped his plane in Donetsk trying to leave the country on Feb. 22, but have not said anything publicly today. Member of parliament Vitali Klitschko said today that he doesn't know where Yanukovych went, nor were his whereabouts disclosed in parliament today. Amid the uncertainty, rumors have swirled, with places such as the United Arab Emirates or Russia as possible destinations abroad or, if he's still in Ukraine, somewhere in his home oblast of Donetsk, where he was the regional governor for several years.
A videotape shot at an unknown location and released to the pro-government UBR business channel for broadcast on Feb. 22 is all that Yanukovych left the public for clues.
It's resolved: [20]. It was probably due to some regional filtering or something. We didn't see the same page. Let's talk on the notification board. (I've already explained there why the information I removed and you re-added was incorrect.) If you remove this warning section on my talk page with some edit summary explaining it was due to regional filtering or a mistake or misunderstanding or something, I will remove the warning section on your talk page too. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:46, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
R.I.P DYK
Now it's an inch closer to being dead. It probably wouldn't have been a better idea to have given up on the one image earlier, that would have brought it through faster and none of this would have happened. Sadly, it looks like it's slowly but surely going to finish with nothing. Though I'm looking at this in hindsight, but forcing the specific image with no room for compromise probably was unnecessary, and this was pretty much the only reason for the huge delay. --benlisquareT•C•E15:37, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Benlisquare: You can ask for help here: "Template talk:Did you know" or ask someone who is active in the DYK project. There are many nice people. It's too early to worry, the DYK have been already ticked and I can objectively say it is okay. :) (Reply something to the user who voted it down so it doesn't look like he is right cause he is not. If there is indeed some unreliable source, just replace it. Anyway, fix the article a little bit basing on the user's remarks and reply to him.) You can also ask Sven Manguard for help. Maybe he can agree to some image and tick the proposal. (Too bad if it can't be the current image.) I've had much worse DYK discussions. See this: Template:Did you know nominations/Kanako Momota. :) --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:59, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please tell me that you're not talking about the Natalia Poklonskaya DYK. I thought that I was overruled and that it was resolved ages ago. I stopped paying attention to it. Really, at this point, I don't care. Sven ManguardWha?22:50, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Sven Manguard: Yes, we are talking about the Natalia Poklonskaya DYK. After you commented about the picture, it was stale for weeks. (There are some people who take care of the DYK section on the main page and they don't seem to dare closing the discussion as "promoted" until the issue you raised about the picture is resolved.) If you don't care, it will help of you say in the discussion that you think the picture can be used. :D (If you just go to the discussion and say the current pic can be used, we will then take care of the person who voted the proposal down.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 08:16, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You probably need to realise that after Sven's comment, you made it clear that you wouldn't accept any compromise for a different image, and this is probably why nobody else wants to touch the nomination, and why it's now at a deadlock. I wouldn't blame him if he doesn't want to get involved any further. --benlisquareT•C•E14:58, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to be frank here, MC. If you're not going to do anything about the page, you shouldn't expect me to do anything about it. I'm already satisfied that it passed for DYK on the Chinese Wikipedia. If the wind blows and AfD happens again, or if it gets maintenance-tagged to oblivion, I'm not going to get overly concerned over it; I've got exams soon, and the last thing I want to do is spend time on this. The Russian Wikipedia has a plethora of information, and none of it is being brought over; the main beef that people have over here is that there is too little information that is not related to the internet on that page. I've probably already made it clear that I'm not someone people should rely on for looking for Russian-language sources. --benlisquareT•C•E14:55, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is simply because I want a hooky hook. I want to get the maximum out of my efforts. But yes, I should have let Sven Manguard change the picture. (The DYK would have been over a long ago. It would save a lot of nerves for everyone.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:00, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Benlisquare:: Sorry, I just can't make myself do it. I've been wanting to, but my mind is set on something else and I can't switch... I will try to make myself do it in a couple of days, okay? (Yes, not when the editor from Kanako Momota's nomination appeared at Natalia Poklonskaya, I'm beginning to worry.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 08:59, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tendentious editing
Re this and this: It seems that you are edit warring and ought to consider your position carefully. Whatever doubts I had about your love of cruft have now evaporated. There is little encyclopaedic benefit in putting in more pretty pictures than is necessary to make the case. One image is quite enough, and five is simply overkill, even if the images are free. There is already a link to the commons gallery, so insisting on having them all in the article is much like placing trivia in the article. -- Ohc ¡digame!16:16, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe a formal-looking letter will work better than just an informal request, but you will have to send something like that yourself. I personally wouldn't want to send a formal-sounding letter cause I can't control the article and I can't garantie that it won't become something terrible tomorrow and that the people who provided the picture won't regret it. If you looked at the Ukrainian topics lately, you saw how anti-Russian they are. If the people who control the topics come to the Natalia Poklonskaya article, I won't be able to defend it. That said, if i were a Crimean Attorney's Office official, I would still provide Wikipedia with a picture of Poklonskaya cause it would be of benefit to everyone.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:30, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We noticed though that when you edited María Figueroa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pop (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Natalia Poklonskaya (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Launchballer15:59, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Moscow Connection, I just want to check if some content I recently inserted into Natalia's article was accurate. Could you translate Слышал, недавно на вас было совершено покушение? and Пишут, что на днях на вас было совершено покушение for me? Thank you! starship.paint"YES!"06:34, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Starship.paint: "Слышал, недавно на вас было совершено покушение?" = "I've heard that recently there has been an assassination attempt on you." "Пишут, что на днях на вас было совершено покушение." = "It has been reported that there has been an assassination attempt on you the other day." --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:52, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Moscow. In terms of the Russian words, "recently" and "the other day" it suggests something that happened not long ago, like maybe a month at most? Whereas "assassination" means an attempt to kill right? starship.paint"YES!"01:08, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Starship.paint: Yes to both questions. I would say "на днях" (I translated it as "the other day") sounds like it happened during the last few days.) [21] also says "Накануне на Наталью было совершено покушение." = "Yesterday there was an assassination attempt on Natalia." ("Накануне" can probably be used to mean "1–2 days ago" in colloquial speech, but strictly it means "yesterday".) By the way, the info can probably be used for the Do You Know hook. --Moscow Connection (talk) 01:48, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Moscow, I appreciate the edit summary, but I think you and I have a very different understanding of what "the news" means. For instance, I read two Dutch newspapers, the New York Times, the local US paper, and NPR on my iPhone; I watch MSNBC and CNN and occasionally Fox, and when the spirit moves me I read Time, the Frankfurter Allgemeine, and the Guardian. And the BBC website. I have been doing that for years, and I can tell you that K-pop is not often mentioned in that news. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 20:13, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Drmies: Please let me expand it and then see. The thing is that I wanted to make it a proper article for some time. 1. She is in the movie Ao Oni as has been reported by multiple reliable sources in Japan. 2. I thought that if you searched Google News for her name, you will understand. Also, I have already added into the article. Ryulong, I will undo your redirect now. Could you please just let me try and make this a proper article? It will take a few days, but I will add the news about the movie now. --21:57, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
To Drmies, Ryulong: There are already two bands she has been in (AKB48 and Anrire, they are independently notable cause they are separate bands and both charted in Japan), a role in a feature film (the fact that she plays in it has been reported by reliable sources), and what happened yesterday. Everything else will probably be some minor events related to AKB48. If over the next few days I add a few more paragraphs about some minor stuff and make the article look solid, could you let the article remain unredirected? I can also add a very small section about her family / personal life. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:24, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Drmies: There's also now an article in a reliable source about her personally: [22]. It summarizes her career. There's enough stuff to write a proper encyclopedia article based on it. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:30, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that she got attacked does not make her any more notable than she is as one of the other 90 replacable girls in that band.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:31, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If you read the edit summary, I didn't say it alone made her notable. What I meant that she was notable all along, and that it was important to have a page about her now because many people would come to Wikipedia to read about her and maybe also to copyedit/expand her article. --Moscow Connection (talk) 11:28, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

2tcigm2 is my "co-worker" in Momoclo related articles. But we have conflicting views as for the style of a single page. As the discussion goes by, I'm wondering which opinion is correct. So I'd like to know your idea.
@Anosola: I will. I actually started writing my suggestions as soon as I read you message, but it proved to be rather hard... Cause there are many different problems that are being discussed. By the way, since you are here, could you look at the lead section here: "Japanese idol"? I have rewritten it (the whole lead section). Do my definitions and explanations look okay to you? --Moscow Connection (talk) 01:31, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Anosola: Hi! sorry, I think I won't have time to participate in the discussion. :( I'm very sorry, but I think it would take too much time. :( (I just returned to create an article very fast.) By the way, I undid your edit to Japanese idol, but I explained the reason in the edit summary. Actually, you are free to revert if you think I interpreted the source incorrectly, but I think what I wrote makes total sense. :) --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:18, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Zettai ryōiki, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Binksternet (talk) 14:42, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt: I just wanted to say thanks once more. :) Cause I actually needed some encouragement. :) (I thought I spent too much time on Wikipedia and what I did wasn't worth the time and effort.. :)) (I will now "disappear" again for some time, but I haven't done everything I wanted yet. :)) --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:13, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, - tricky to estimate what our efforts are worth ;) - I came to fill one red link for one composer, did you know? - Just know I realized that I postponed another, to have a DYK on his 80th birthday, postponed too much, because that birthday is now (where I live, not quite in Wikipedia time). Well, I guess I just improve his article a bit, - and probably better after sleeping ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:20, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Your articles are so informative, so encyclopedic. :) While mine are just terrible... It's scary how I spend hours on something simple...

Your recent editing history at Babymetal shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

How is this "abusing templates"? I was going to block you cause you violated the 3RR rule and I had to warn you cause the rules say to warn first. I used the template for its direct purpose. (I reconsidered reporting you, though.) Please, could you leave the info in? Since YUI and MOA mostly just shout and they aren't main vocalists and aren't officially listed as vocalists, I think it's best to just leave it the way the official site says. They shout and dance and it says "screams, dance". Wikipedia must be on the safe side in order to not make a mistake. By the way, SilentDan297 also violated 3RR, back on June 19 when he first appeared on the article, changed it, was reverted and then made five reverts to his version in 42 minutes: 1, 2, 3, 4 , 5. Sadly, I was away at the time. So actually he was the one who started the edit warring and he should have been blocked back then. --Moscow Connection (talk) 02:41, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, that's why I unlinked "screams" from "Screaming (music)". The target article is basically about the vocal style called screaming, it's not the same as shouting cutely. (I'm just trying to keep the article correct, you see... I'm sorry if I offended you. It was just too annoying. I wrote most of the article, I was trying to keep it in a decent state and fighing like this makes me hate Wikipedia and want to go away and never return... If you change it to "vocals, vocals, vocals", I will just see that it's incorrect and will hate the article for telling lies... Sorry... Maybe I'm too emotional, but these are small things that make Wikipedia unreliable.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 02:50, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Can you help me?
Hello! ^_^
I'm expanding the article "Babymetal (album)" in my native tongue (portuguese: pt:Babymetal (álbum)) and I want to know if you can help me with a little thing. In the critiscism section of the article (BABYMETAL (アルバム), I saw you edit the article), in the professional critic box, there's the name of the authors of the critics. I'd translated with google translator the name of those authors: 安田謙一 (google translated as "Yasuda Kenichi") 宗像明将 (google translated as "Munakata AkiraSusumu" [I think this one is pretty wrong]) 原田和典 (google translated as "Harada Kazunori") 南波一海 (google translated as "Nanba Ichiumi") 山村哲也 (google translated as "Tetsuya Yamamura"). Well, I want to know if you can help me with correct romanized names. Thanks in advance!! \(^u^)/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by GUROMETAL (talk • contribs) 22:46, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@GUROMETAL: Nice! If you expand the Portuguese article with the sources, I will be happy to translate it into English. (The article needs more stuff about the individual songs on the album, like the music genre and some critical remarks. But I was too lazy to work on it. Translating is one million times easier. :)) 安田謙一 — correct, Kenichi (or Ken'ichi) Yasuda 宗像明将 — Akimasa Munekata 原田和典 — correct, Kazunori Harada 南波一海 — Kazumi Namba 山村哲也 — correct, Tetsuya Yamamura P.S. By the way, if you look at the references in the article, the names are already there. :) --Moscow Connection (talk) 03:15, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, good morning (GMT -3:00)!! :D As you know, I'm translating the article of BABYMETAL's album from Japanese to Portuguese (and I'm doing It by my phone, and It's pretty hard :P), but I stopped on the criticism section because google translator is not helping on this section and It's letting everything hard as hell. I want to know if you can help me translating It to English, so I could translate your translation to Portuguese (@.@). But, if you can't, I'll understand. Is just this section that is killing me :P Thanks in advance!! :D GUROMETAL (talk) 12:53, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@GUROMETAL: I'm away from home now... Basically, I returned a week ago to create one article for a new release by Cute and now I'm dragged into a crazy edit war over the Babymetal article. SilentDan297 has just reverted the member positions again and I'm one edit from being banned... Basically all I want now is to forget this Wikipedia nightmare... Sorry, initially when I saw your message I wanted to help, but now I won't be able to... (What I mean is that it's rather difficult for me to edit Wikipedia from here, it's not as convenient as at home, so it's best for me to just go away. I've already done all I returned for... I'm sorry...) --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:13, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The reason for me reverting you is due to you not complying to the discussion on the articles talk page, apologies but you are forcing your edits onto the article without consensus of the other editors who are against your edits. Please discuss further on Talk:Babymetal before you revert my edits because so far you have done nothing but just that. SilentDan297talk14:19, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@SilentDan297: You are the one who removed the "vocals, dance" and "scream, dance" positions without a consensus. It would be correct (and polite) to let the official positions stay until the discussion on the talk page is concluded with a consensus to change/remove. Now, bye. (I was slow to reply cause every edit comes with little bit of struggle. I can now see some new notification, probably about someone mentioning me, but that's all, I'm gone.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:02, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That part about the members only containing vocals not screams or dance was concluded, three editors agreed, you where the only one against it so I modified the article accordingly, this is how it is done on Wikipedia. I did not do this to annoy you or to war with you but like other Wikipedians I did this because It's what I'm supposed to do, that's the point of Wikipedia. I'm sorry to hear that you have decided to quit and recommend that you remain as an editor but to listen to others more often, you don't own the Babymetal article you simply contribute to it like the rest of us.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Live: Legend I, D, Z Apocalypse, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Heavy metal. 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.
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Babymetal. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. I'm sorry but no matter what I do you do not listen to reason, you constantly show signs of WP:OWNER and you keep reverting my edits just on the basis of WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT. I find it odd that every time I make an edit you revert it, even though these edits where a first on this article for several days, your contributions list is empty apart from the last reverts you made days ago and then no edits until today, It's like no one else is allowed to contribute to this page but yourself. I will be replying to the comments you have made on the article's talk page but I wil revert your edit as I in fact do have consensus from several other editors and you have none, please refrain from reverting this edit before you yourself gains consensus as you are in fact starting up this edit war and I will be forced to report you as you do not collaborate fairly. SilentDan (talk) 13:34, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You lied in the edit summary, and you are continuing to repeat the same edits without a consensus. I will ensure you are blocked. Good bye. And by the way, you are not welcome on my talk page. --Moscow Connection (talk) 16:16, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! There is a DR/N request you may have interest in.
This message is being sent to let you know of a discussion at the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute discussion you may have participated in. Content disputes can hold up article development and make editing difficult for editors. You are not required to participate, but you are both invited and encouraged to help find a resolution. The discussion is about the topic Babymetal.
Please join us to help form a consensus. Thank you! — TransporterMan (TALK) 14:27, 7 August 2014 (UTC) (DRN volunteer)[reply]
Babymetal article issues/improvements
Hi. Thanks for listing the issues that need attention at Talk:Babymetal. Itemizing them like that makes it much easier for other editors (myself included) to see what might need changing. You were doing a great job up until this point, but then subsequent edits re-introduced stuff about who reverted who, which just starts to cloud the discussion with pointless bickering again. The whole point of the discussion was to concisely outline the issues that need addressing without introducing personal or emotional stuff about other editors' actions. Could you please consider removing your subsequent comments about individual editors, so that we can all concentrate on improving the article wording and formatting? Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 03:55, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Next time you feel like slapping an inappropriate 3RR tag on someone's tag page in an attempt to intimidate them and win a dispute, consider not running straight to the article and reverting/edit warring yourself, immediately afterward. It's more the hypocrisy than the battleground attitude that irks me, but others here might feel differently. Volunteer Marek 04:12, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I know, placing a 3RR tag is absolutely necessary before reporting for 3RR. (I mean I want to make sure that if you revert over 3 times, I can report you for 3RR.) Correct me if I'm wrong. If it's not so, I can warn you without using the tag in the future. And by the way, as I understand it, an edir war starts when you revert after being reverted. So it's you who started it. (You added some stuff, I didn't agree, and instead of acting according to the "bold, revert, discuss" guideline and starting a discussion, you reverted me.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 04:22, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Inappropriate categorization is misleading. You presented me some wikipedia policy, yet you do not want to find a consensus, but rather throw some groundless accusations. My reverts were based on sources that I provided on the article's talk page. Yet, soon after my revert some random account undid my revert with another personal attack after which you posted edit warring template stating something about me not being nice.

Aleksandr Grigoryev. Why do you come to my talk page when there's already a discussion about it on the article's talk page? Please don't do something like that again. Cause it might be seen like an attempt to annoy an editor. (I have posted about the matter on the article talk page 3 times: 1. I have started a new discussion. 2–3.

About "Doki Doki Morning" video director
I found that Shimon Tanaka (the guy who did the artwork for BABYMETAL releases) is the director of "Doki Doki Morning" music video, in the website Behance. I don't know if this is reliable, but looks like its him own profile, made and updated by himself. Here's the link.
@GUROMETAL:Since you are so good at finding sources... Can you maybe also find a source for Leda being in the Kami band? :) Cause I listed him without a source.

@Shirt58: How about "Public broadcasting system of the Netherlands"? I think it's better. If you agree, I will move it. (I don't really see why the word "Dutch" can't be used as an adjective for everything related to he Netherlands, though.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 12:41, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I just found It on the Billboard website, but I couldn't find any other source about It and where the song charted. I just wanted to let you know :D GUROMETAL (talk) 15:40, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I will have to look into it. The image is tagged as "social" (see the HTML source), but it can't be the Billboard Social 50 cause the chart is for artists, not songs. (By the way, search Google for "Babymetal Billboard Social 50". It looks like the band has been on the chart. The fact is interesting and should be mentioned in the article somewhere.) P.S. I've already searched. I can't find anything about "Babymetal Megitsune 86"... Could it maybe be some minor chart?.. Cause it's surely not Hot 100. --Moscow Connection (talk) 05:10, 27 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think I was wrong... Now when I actually opened the pages I saw in the Google results, none of them says anything about Babymetal entering the Social 50 chart. :( --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:20, 27 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nederlandse Publieke Omroep (organization), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dutch Public Broadcasting. 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.

Finally I just found a reliable source about Kami-Band's first live with BABYMETAL. Here! The craziest thing is that we use this website as source on BM's article, but I didn't "flipped" the pages to see what's more. We all knew that LEGEND "I" was KB's first live with BM, but now It can be sourced :D Btw, I couldn't find (yet) any source about Leda and Yuya in the Kami-Band :P
@GUROMETAL: Thank you! (By the way, I still can't agree with listing them as part of the group because they aren't officially listed like this.) (I will make the discography page very soon, by the way. Sorry for the delay.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:56, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The very fact that you refer to it as becoming "part of Russia" shows that you have a biased point of view. Furthermore, the claim that "Crimea sought secession" is 100% POV, and is based on the assumption that people of Crimea genuinely wanted to cede from Ukraine, which is not something that has ever been proven by fact. You are the one who kept reverting my edits without reasonable explanation. Now you say that the annexation happened later, so I changed it to "during the Crimean crisis". Having the words "Crimea sought seccession" is 100% POV and is not appropriate.Impulsion01:20, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Дорогой Moscow Connection!
Цензура в Англовики по теме Украины напоминает мне глушилки советских времен. Мы давно не играем в эти игрушки. А чего они так боятся, когда на российском ЦТ выступают представители НАТО, ЕС, Совета Европы, официальной Украины? Да, все статьи Англовики по современной Украине шиты белыми нитками и рассыпаются от капли правды, как мыльные пузыри. Ну, так без конкуренции и на этом поле ничего путного не вырастет. Что за идиоты там окопались даже без зачатков чувства юмора? По-английски я пишу, як по-русски, но думаю недреманное око тут же меня выследит.

Thank you very much! (I'm not sure what to say cause I'm doing much anymore... It's because I can't concentrate on one topic anymore and because Wikipedia got too annoying.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 08:29, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I can see you've already added the list in the Portuguese Wiki. Could you do the same thing here? (The album by Team Syachihoko is a nice one, don't forget to link it. :D) --Moscow Connection (talk) 08:29, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, friend, BABYMETAL's "Megitsune" and "Gimme Chocolate!!" actually charted on American Billboard!! They made It into the World Digital Songs chart, but the charts can only be seen on billboard.biz website. Just search to "BABYMETAL" and you can find It. When you actually go to the chart, they only show the top 3 (the whole charts can be seen only by subscription) :D GUROMETAL (talk) 20:00, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Good! Have you added the positions somewhere already? (Like, in the Portuguese Wiki?) Let's add them here. (I vaguely remember that the last time I visited Billboard.biz the charts search page disappeared and wasn't anywhere to be found. I guess I just didn't look for it well enough...) --Moscow Connection (talk) 08:29, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Fine! I will create a separate page for the discography now. [I will make myself do it cause I know I have to. :) You've added another table and now it definitely calls for a separate article...] --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:11, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'd like you to help develop Japanese Wikipedia. Could you please join the discussion on the note page (see 「女優としての活動」節) of Momoiro Clover Z? As there are few editors recently, any comment is appreciated. Thank you.--Anosola (talk) 12:18, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Anosola: Hi! Could you rewrite the lead sentence of the 3B Junior article? As far as I can see it's not a section anymore, it's now a group consisting of the junior members of the idol department of Section 3, but I don't have any sources for that... (When was it reorganized? Could you find some sources?) And sorry for the delay. (I mean that I can see that you've replied in the Japanese Wiki, but I have not much to say but "Do as you like". :D That's probably what I should reply...)
@Awu1996: I think yes. (The other way to do it is to add notes for each songs. Like, "B-side of the single 'Megitsune'.") Btw I've noticed you are going to create an article for the latest DVD and therefore I'm creating an article for the live album now. :) (For the one that charted at least.) (And sorry for the revert.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:36, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Cool and crap... I already started working a bit on the live album track list. Do you need the lengths and links, because I have a decent track list for you. AWU1996 — Preceding undated comment added 23:40, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Awu1996: I didn't see it. :) I saw the DVD, but didn't see the album and I thought that it's time for me to create it cause you or someone else is going to create it anyway. (I was too lazy to do it earlier...) Yes, I need them if you have them! --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:50, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Have you started the Black Night as well? I haven't and I'm afraid it's too hard for me to do it right now. I searched on Oricon and it looks like it hasn't charted. If you have a couple of reliable sources that discuss it, you can create a page for it. --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:50, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You will not believe, but "Doki Doki Morning" made It into the charts!!!
I was browsing Billboard JAPAN website, and took a look into the Top Independent Albums and Singles chart, and I found that "Doki Doki Morning" actually charted there!! Here's the link, they charted at number 80! I'm freaking happy, you can't imagine how much!! Just coming to let you know :D GUROMETAL (talk) 18:45, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@GUROMETAL: Great! (By the way, independent charts wouldn't be enough for "notability", but with a paragraph or two of text about the actual song and how the video was popular on YouTube, it now can certainly be defended from deletion any time! You should really add some more stuff to the Portuguese article in order to insure that it is okay.) Anyway, I still hope Awu1996 (ping!) let me do it. I have some amount of short mentions, etc. and I was hoping to make something out of it. If I make myself do it, I will be able to create a Russian page for the single. Now it's kinda dangerous, even major charts aren't sufficient there, in the Russian Wiki... (I want to be a reliable editor, that's why I'm so cautious. That's why there are still no articles about a couple of people born in 1999. :)))) --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:11, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Moscow Connection: I just noticed that Billboard JAPAN added two singles at the 80th position, making "Doki Doki Morning" the "second 80th" (81th). The chart end in 99th, with two singles in 80th, just to let you know ~again~. Btw, I'll wait 'til you en the english article to DDM to edit the portuguese one, I can't find to much sources about the song :D GUROMETAL (talk) 19:18, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@GUROMETAL: A second 80 is still 80. (The two releases probably sold the same amount of copies. It's just a guess, though, cause no one knows how Billboard calculates the positions. Anyway, it's still 80, not 81. [..., 76, 76, 76, 79, 80, 80, 82, ...]) --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:31, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@GUROMETAL: It's 80, not 81. If it says "80" next to it, then it's 80. (It's like 2 first places in sports. Both are first.) If Awu1996 doesn't reply (did I annoy her too much? :-)), I will start to work on the "Doki Doki" page on Monday and will post it by the end of the next week. But now I will wait cause she may still decide to create it. --Moscow Connection (talk) 10:41, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contribution. I'm planning to add the explanation of 「特典商法」 in the J-pop article. According to Oricon, over the half of Japanese people are against this kind of gimmick. (cf., http://www.oricon.co.jp/special/1467/) It would be better to add the fact that the sales of AKB48 or Arashi are under 「特典商法」. Could you come up with the simple explanation?--Anosola (talk) 09:42, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I will think about it... I have no idea how I would call this particular type of bonus in English. Is there even a special word/expression for something like that?

Just to mention that cleaned up some part of my talk page, and with it the held discussion. This is my last reply about the disscusion and article because am not interested in it. I just pointed to something I perceived as fan edit. I don't see how being objective and neutral equal radical. With all your good intentions Anosola, I still do not see how one questionnaire survey, even held by Oricon, is anyway relevant with the article, actually, with wich you substantiate the removal of established information and images of other music acts to, somehow for some subjective reasons, so that the artist Momoiro Clover Z be highlihted, although by objective and relevant measures they does not. They deserve to be mentioned, there's no question to that, but not highlighted. In the article are highlighted the very few most important, relevant and successful acts by time period, and as shown for 2010s, among them Momoiro does not belong.--Crovata (talk) 10:53, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It is worthy of mentioning everywhere. I think I've already stated my position clearly. You deleted all messages about this matter from your talk page and started attacking the editors that posted the messages on your talk page on their talk pages. I'm not going to let you do the same to me. I'm not going to reply here. --Moscow Connection (talk) 16:37, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Look, I am editing here for the sake and good of Wikipedia (and of common truth), if you do not understand how Wikipedia (or criteria) works, and stubbornly support such a view, how ridiculously I must feel about when working by Wikipedian principels and common logic is actually just a waste of time and being accused of vandalism? Editors can (mostly) do with the talk page what they want, if personally are not anymore interested in the topic, and especially if that discussion was just pointless since other editors did not get and do not want to understand and accept how Wikipedia works. Just read the WP:NPOV principles, both you and Anosola, and learn how Wikipedia and any serious Encyclopedia is written. I seems it's doubtful this month will have time to work upon the J-pop article, neither it is of my primary interest, but before I return editing it, read the NPOV principels and learn something, I seriously and friendly mean it. If you need that I cite you every x principle you're breaking promoting Momoiro Clover Z, at least that will mean something.
Actually I will; basically, in short, you are breaking "Balancing aspects", "Giving "equal validity" can create a false balance", "Balance", "Due and undue weight", "Bias in sources". If you do not get what I mean by what already said (unworthy, sales, tweets as reliable and worthy source, breaking the article pattern etc.), just what you and Anosola want?! If you want a Wikipedia by your dreams and fantasy create independent Wikipedia or fanpage.
And no, they do not deserve to be mentioned, especially not in Music of Japan, and do not revert my edit because you're breaking the principels and I will be forced to mention the case (of lack of knowledge about Wikipedia and NPOV) of you and Anosola to the administrators.--Crovata (talk) 03:47, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Wait, you explained something...? Your comment on my page... the ignorance of what I was telling all the time... No comment, really, no, this is too much... no comment. If something so obvious, illogical, and against Wikipedia principles and NPOV needs any further explanation and wasting of time from my side, then I do not want and there is no reason to do it. If you can not comprehend and accept how Wikipedia works, then please think carefully if are you eligible to be Wikipedia editor.--Crovata (talk) 19:44, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Read the warning on your talk page. It says everything. How you need to act in this situation, etc. Annoying users on their talk pages is not included as an option. (And there's no need for you to repeat the same thing again here. I understood your position. I replied. I even tried to communicate with you on Anosola's talk page. That's all. I won't repeat my words anymore.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:01, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguation link notification for April 18
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Karin Miyamoto, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chiba. 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.
@Benlisquare: I'm very sorry. At the time you posted this, I was preparing a set of articles for the English Wiki and I thought that I would finish with it in several days, but I still haven't. (An explanation is here: Talk:9nine. I actually can create pages very fast, but this time I overestimated my abilities...) And, by the way, I looked at the official site and it said the game wasn't available in my region. Therefore I couldn't even rephrase the Gameplay section cause I had no idea about the game and I would make too many factual mistakes. I will try to rewrite the Popularity section later, but I'm not sure when. Especially since some people at Talk:9nine have already reminded me what Wikipedia is like. I'm not really sure if I should continue contributing.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 12:45, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If you don't get along with some people here, have you considered putting most (or all) of your effort on the Russian Wikipedia, and moving there? I feel that it'd be a shame for you to withdraw completely from editing, perhaps a change of environment would be nice for you. English Wikipedia has its own community culture, and that's something that takes a bit of getting used to.
Naturally, people won't agree with one another (that's a fact of life), but on enwiki it's often percieved that editors who have more friends have more influence over things they don't like, many people from the Chinese Wikipedia often repeat this complaint when they talk about the English Wikipedia. To an outsider or long-term observer, this place looks like it has an old boy network of folks who joined in the early days and know each other very well. I mostly avoid getting into these things and try to distance myself wherever possible, but if you're just not feeling like being amongst all this, moving over to a different language Wikipedia project can help with cooling off steam if enwiki is causing you frustration.
I don't know what ruwiki is like, but I personally find that people on the Chinese Wikipedia are much more friendly, and there's less drama and cronyism. I go over there if I ever need a break from enwiki and need to unwind. Give ruwiki a go, and see if you feel better doing long-term contributions over there. --benlisquareT•C•E18:30, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Speaking of the tables and colours, I think ja:9nine#メンバー and zh:9nine#成員 look great, and I'd assume that the jawiki and zhwiki editors would concur since they built it that way. The appearance is neat, covers the information in an effective manner, and it keeps the reader motivated and interested. One of the prime principles of design is assessing not what information is being conveyed, but how it's conveyed to the reader; many people respond positively to visual stimuli, which makes things such as tables preferable to lists, a guy specialising in human-computer interface design (forgot his name) wrote something like 7 books about this topic. Folks on enwiki are nitpicky about things they don't like, what can you do? It's probably a cultural mismatch between the western world and everywhere else. --benlisquareT•C•E18:44, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your support. :) (I don't really know what I should do. Cause I truly think that Wikipedia is useless and I shouldn't bother with it anymore.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 12:48, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If you drop out, the other guys win. It's an intimidation tactic to keep out new people with different ideas. You're fine with that? --benlisquareT•C•E13:01, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know. It's too hard... I probably I will have to think about it after the summer is over... Now I came to the conclusion that I should think about other things... (Especially since that unexpected discussion at "9nine" broke my plans for something and right now I wish I wouldn't come back here at all.) (But I will now post at least some of the articles I have partially prepared, though... I don't think I will now post all 25 or so as I planned, but at least some of them...) --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:49, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there.
Concerning your edits on the Babymetal article, you wrote that "...the source says it's a play on the words...". The issue I have with this is the usage of the expression "the word baby ryhmes with...". I do not speak Japanese. Could you therefore please point out to me where exactly in that trendy.nikkeibp.co.jp reference the author uses the Japanese word for rhyme, which, according to Online translation sites is 韻.
If the text doesn't use the Japanese word for rhyme, then it also shouldn't appear in the Babymetal article.
I think this is the section of the reference you are referring to:
BABYMETALでは、メンバー3人のかわいらしさとメタルの激しさとのギャップ感を大切にしている。「ヘビーメタル」をもじった「BABYMETAL(ベビーメタル)」というネーミングは“お告げ”によって降りてきたものだが、“BABY”でかわいらしさ、“METAL”で激しさをわかりやすく示すことができ、また「新しいメタルが誕生する」という願いも込めて採用した。
(Please note that I use dynamic IP addresses and so the IP addresses that'll be used in replying will change regularly.)
Maybe we should ask DAJF who reworded it to say it "rhymed" (diff) if it's okay like this. Maybe he can reword it differently all over again. I personally believe that it's just an easy explanation for English speakers and I would prefer to keep it per something similar to WP:CALC cause it's obvious that "bebī" rhymes with or sounds similar to "hebī". Or per WP:IAR. (In my version the explanation was formatted as a footnote so everyone could easily see it was unreferenced, and the wording was different [25]. But I think DAJF's version is better.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:22, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As mentioned above, it was I that added the wording "rhymes with...". While the Nikkei Trendy article originally cited did not explicitly say the two words rhymed (it would be totally unnecessary to mention this to Japanese readers), I did feel that this was a similar situation to WP:CALC, as mentioned by Moscow Connection above, since Japanese has fixed pronunciation rules. But to avoid any accusations of introducing original research, I have added an English-language source that backs up the statement. Hopefully this clears up any concerns. Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 23:35, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I know. I don't really think I will need 25 references either. But I don't know what I will need or what I won't. I will browse through them and I will see what I can write. All the main events related to her are there. (Also, I hoped that someone else would notice and would expand it. Then, I would already have all the references for all the notable events ready. :)) By the way, thank you very much for your work on the Sea Kumada article. (I didn't abandon the articles, I remember about them, they all are on my to-do list. It's just that if I didn't do it now, I would never will. Or, like, not in the next few months or years. Cause some of the articles I created recently had been on my to-create list for several years.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:02, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I would recommend using the talk page to store unneeded references until you actually use them. That way they are easily accessible and don't create a reference section more than 10 times larger than the actual article. And, no problem on the Sea Kumada article. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 04:31, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Привет,
Спасибо за сингл Ю'р э вуман.
Я добавил картинок к статье.
Можем скооперироваться и написать еще про синглы группы, если Бэд бойз нравятся.
Я почти все студийные альбомы покрыл, за синглы пока не брался.
Hi! Sorry for the late reply. I'm afraid I won't have time to do it. I've been thinking about creating one or two more, but not now. By the way, the problem is that there are some people who think that the fact that a single charted doesn't by itself establish its notability. I would have to write a couple of meaningful sentences with release details or even better about the actual song, like an opinion or what it's about, something. If I just create a stub, someone may come and try to delete it. The singles are old, it will be very hard to find any sources beyond chart rankings... (And actually, old charts are impossible to find online, I've tried.) (Surely, these are European releases and it's unlikely that someone may want to delete the articles about them, and you can always say: "Come on, they were really popular in Germany and it's obvious that everything the band did was discussed in teen magazines", but still...) Привет! Извини, что долго не отвечал, но я просто даже не особо знаю свои планы, насколько буду тут в Википедии сидеть, так что и не знал, что ответить. А весной у меня была акция под лозунгом "Я сделаю по списку то, что давно хотел сделать, а потом будет лето и не до Википедии". Тот сингл был из того, что было понятно, что это нужно и полезно, что будут читать... Так что я боюсь, что не смогу серьёзно заниматься этим. Может, ещё одну или две песни сделаю потом, но сейчас просто пишу другие статьи. Кстати, тут были проблемы с некоторыми участниками, кто активно продвигал идею, что места в чартах сами по себе не доказывают значимости. Так что, если хочешь действительно обезопасить статьи на будущее, нужно пару предложений связного текста про каждый из синглов найти, а искать будет сложно. Перерыть весь Гугл и не только. Да и нет ничего в онлайне, даже чартов не найти.

No. It will be more like C-level if you tidy it up. You should avoid Japanese text in the History section (maybe not completely, but now there are untranslated titles, etc.) And reformat the discography and filmography tables. Look how it's done in other articles. And there are unreferenced parts, which means it won't be even a B if it's reviewed. Read "Wikipedia:Good article criteria". And by the way, the article is not meaningful, it would be advisable to add something like opinions of his work as a singer/actor if you want to make it a good article. By the way, you can maybe ask DAJF to review it (I mean to assess it as C- or B [unlikely]-class, not to write a review). But not now, make proper tables first (take some American singer/actor as a reference. Like, Jennifer Lopez filmography, Jennifer Lopez discography, Madonna singles discography, Madonna albums discography, Madonna filmography. And just delete most of Japanese text from the prose, it's unreadable. --Moscow Connection (talk)
And use the {{nihongo}} template everywhere in the discography and the filmography. All titles should be listed in English or romaji. (Followed by Japanese titles in brackets, but only for the movies that don't have articles in the English Wikipedia yet.) --Moscow Connection (talk)

Use of English word "graduate" for people leaving groups
Hi. I understand that English is not your native language, so you may want to recheck the meaning of the verb "graduate" in English at any of the following online dictionary sites.
I am well aware that Japanese texts often use sotsugyo suru for people leaving idol groups, but in English, "graduate" is used only when completing education courses. We really need to avoid using fanspeak, and instead use standard English terminology in encyclopedia articles. --DAJF (talk) 04:19, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I know what "graduate" means. And as far as I know, "sotsugyo suru" in Japanese has exactly the same meaning. So it's not fanspeak, but the exact Japanese term that they use. It can be understood as either "In an idol group people learn to sing and dance and they graduate when they complete the course" or they "Receive a graduation ceremony". --Moscow Connection (talk) 07:06, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I prodded that as I did not feel it was a particularly controversial delete. Two reasons; under WP:MUSIC under Criteria for musicians and ensembles it states 'Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases'. As far as I could gather Yamamoto did not display any notability outside of the band and that photobook sells because she is a member of the group and cannot be described as a career as such. Secondly, I used Apink as a template, especially the discussions there on individual member pages on the Talk:Apink page and the AfD discussion related to that. The consensus there was that only Jung Eun-ji qualified to have her own page as she had developed her own acting career away from the band.
I did do a search on Yamamoto and that generated a lot of entries but all in relation to AKB48 and NMB48 - and a reference to a jewelry designer based in the Netherlands, which someone else entirely. So am I inclined to do an AfD about this one I'm afraid as considering the above there is no real evidence of a Yamamoto having a career outside the band. That said I'll be happy to be proven otherwise. Karst (talk) 15:37, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Read WP:ENT. Her photobook charted, it is a notable production, she is notable. And FYI she "has a large fan base or a significant 'cult' following", too. That's all. And I wonder why you still don't see that a person with thousand news articles about her is notable per WP:GNG. Btw. Do you know any Japanese? Cause there are thousands of news articles, she is the 6th most popular member of an insanely popular band and you said something about "a jewelry designer based in the Netherlands" who happened to pop up in your Google search. Btw I've just noticed that you redirected an article I created. The girl is famous, any news search in Japanese would tell you this, and you redirected her article. And you redirected it to the wrong group, too! I guess you didn't know much about the topic. I'm sorry, can't you undestand that your activity may harm Wikipedia? If you continue like this, you will delete artcles about notable Japanese people. (I'm thinking about smth else now, that's why I'm not resquing my article right away. And I know that she will release a photobook on March 30. If it charts, I wlll add one sentence about it, and voilà, no more work needed, I won't have to look for sources and expand the article just to convince you that she is very notable.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:54, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Personal attacks on Crimea talk page
To: Iryna Harpy
Cc: Tobby72, Haberstr, Moscow Connection
Iryna, your recent posting on Talk:Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation contains personal attacks on WP users Tobby72, Haberstr, and Moscow Connection. You accused these WP users of "POV pushing", "disruptive editing", and presenting arguments with "no good faith".
Wikipedia article talk pages are for constructive discussion of article content, not for accusations against individuals. Are you trying to discourage comments about content from people whose views differ from your own? If you are not trying to discourage comments, please make this clear as soon as possible, by withdrawing the personal attacks you have made. Kalidasa 777 (talk) 12:59, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! Haven't heard from you in a while. I asked you a question on the Japanese idol talk page and at least tried to highlight you, but I'm not sure if it actually worked. Anyway, would be nice if you could drop me an answer. MugiMafin (talk) 16:48, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

AKB48 General Election First Day Result Announcement
Not sure if it's okay to ask this here, but are you planning on live-watching the announcement tomorrow? I am, together with some people in an 48G-related IRC channel I hang out in.

Hi! I was writing to you at the same time: [26]. I don't think so... I don't really think the view statistics works in this case. The album's article can be more popular for a variety of reasons.

There is consensus that their edits should be reverted as per Wikipedia:Revert, block, ignore - This particular IP has already been blocked, following my request.

I'll leave this a day while you work out what is correct, but according to the articles he is NOT a songwriter, so therefore the songwriter cat is wrong.

Spasiba for your comment on my own page. Unfortunately, I will not follow your thoughts about names. I know the rules about soviet sportsmen, and I have enough knowledge about their (national, own) names. I am afraid that you'd prefer give them only Russian ones?

Please do not post no more on my discussion page.--Enzino (talk) 22:18, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Why shouldn't I post on your talk page? (By the way, you should have replied there.) My comment on you talk page applies to Russian sportspeople as well. For example, you renamed [31] "Gennady Krysin" to "Gennadiy Krysin". When I searched Google Books, I saw his name written as "Gennady Krysin" and "Gennadi Krysin" in a couple of books, but there weren't a single "Gennadiy Krysin". You shouldn't have renamed the article.

DYK for Comme un garçon
On 1 January 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Comme un garçon, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Comme un garçon. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Comme un garçon), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

I think all the appeals are from athletes who appeal their own Olympic bans. Even if they win their appeals, they will be called "Olympic Athletes from Russia". There's nothing we can do at the moment. I would say, let's hope for consequences. :-) Not what you listed, but something like the United States losing their control over the Olympic movement.

I had absolutely no intention of clicking the rollback button here. I accidentally clicked it while navigating off your page. You are correct in this instance, and I was wrong. 13:37, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello, you reverted my edits on the Falco discography and I wanted to ask you why? Your reason was: "Revert. It was better and more complete before.", but it wasn't. As far as I know only ten countries should be used in the english wikipedia. I wasn't finished with the discography and I just wanted to change the look to the other discographys.--Lirim.Z (talk) 22:52, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"10" is a recommendation, not a strict rule. And I didn't like your choice of countries. And for some reason you only left 8 or so countries in the albums section. And i was alarmed by the fact that a bot had to rescue orphaned references after what you did. --Moscow Connection (talk) 11:37, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I saw you reverted your own revert. So if I use: AUT, GER, SWI, UK, USA, FRA, NLD, DEN, FIN and SWE for the singles, because he had the most chart positions in those countries and he was really sucessful in europe?--Lirim.Z (talk) 12:33, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it was a good idea. I will have to think about it... I would remove some columns that were unsourced and/or doubtful. The USSR, France cause the current chart was launched towards the end of 1984 and I have no idea where the earlier data are from, Australia and Italy for more or less the same reason, Japan as unsourced (very interesting, but I don't know how it can be sourced), South Africa. Actually, that's all, I wouldn't remove any more. That leaves 13 countries. And I think it is common to put the US first and the UK last. (No, on the second thought, in this case Austria, Germany and Switzerland should stay first. But the UK and the US should be prominently put last.) And I would add back the two columns that were removed from the albums table. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:02, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
So I'm going to revert your revert, because I already made all the singles in the proper style. I'm just going to change the chart, check the links and add the proper positions. i checked Oricon and he didn't chart in Japan at all. [34]--Lirim.Z (talk) 20:20, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Lirim.Z: He surely charted in Japan. The problem is that the data on the Oricon website only goes back to 2005. AFAIK, the earlier data are available by subscription. You can try asking at WikiProject Japan, it is possible someone can find the data somehow (unlikely, though). --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:34, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Actually, I would say that it doesn't look that likely that "Der Kommissar" and "Body Next to Body" could reach number one in Japan. Maybe the data are for the International Singles Chart or something like that. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:41, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's extremely hard for non-japanese artist to chart in Japan, because the charts are solely based on physical albums and most record labels don't want to release cds there. btw. I'm already half way through the list.--Lirim.Z (talk) 20:49, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, remove it. I wouldn't really say "never charted", it can just be that the current chart (the chart that the website uses) was launched later. But sure, remove everything that isn't sourced. --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:00, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I finished the singles. certifications need to be done. I am going to do proper referencing and i'll add two more colums for the albums.
Okay, thank you. It's very strange that "Rock Me Amadeus" didn't chart in France. By the way, there was another version released in the Netherlands in 1986: [36]. You can add it to the table. --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:38, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that the old table had mistakes, so I checked everything. The thing with canada is that you need to search through the archives and I only found sources for Falco 3 and "Rock me Amadeus". I currently have no idea where the position for "Der Kommissar" and "Vienna Caling" are coming from. The articles for the songs are not naming any sources either. I am going to check the archives again, maybe I'll find something.--Lirim.Z (talk) 09:12, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Lirim.Z: But I have found the missing sources for Canada and added them yesterday already. Look at the diff. Apart from Canada, there were the following mistakes: 1. some UK positions were in the NZ column; 2. some NZ positions were in the IRL column. Some columns got shuffled around. --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:13, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah okay, it's because I added the ire and can columns after the rest. I added some notes to other peaks. The single section should be alright now.--Lirim.Z (talk) 13:57, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed your reversion of my edit to two articles about Babymetal, which were mainly to convert allcaps to title case in citations. You said that MOS:CAPS is about Wikipedia articles, not about references, and that the original article titles should never be changed.
That is not correct. Please see more specifically Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Capital_letters#All_caps_and_small_caps. The first bullet of this section is about newspaper headlines and specifically mentions citations, which is where newspaper headlines are usually found in Wikipedia. Citations are also mentioned in one of the later bullet points in this section of the Manual of Style. Furthermore, the allcaps 'BABYMETAL' is merely the stylized form of Babymetal, as stated in the first sentence on that Wikipedia page. Wikipedia should not be using standard English lettering whenever possible, not promoting any entity with their own style lettering, whether in the body of an article or elsewhere.
I agree that typos in references should not be changed because search functions may not be able to find citations if one is searching for an original title, but fixing allcaps doesn't cause that problem.
I've spent many hours reducing allcaps in articles that I have usually landed on when searching for typographical errors as part of the Wikipedia Typo Team. Wrestling and certain types of entertainment articles (I guess those are the same thing, in a way) are frequent offenders, but so are 'regular' newspaper articles such as from the New York Times. As mentioned in the Wikipedia Manual of Style, these headlines are often imported in allcaps but should get reduced to sentence or title case in almost every instance. (And I don't believe anybody has ever reverted any of my edits because of ALLCAPS.) Please reconsider your reversions on these pages - allcaps is just yelling.
1. The rule you linked says, "Reduce newspaper headlines and other titles from all caps to title case:" The titles weren't in all caps, only the name of the band was capitalized. 2. The rule you linked says "when they have only a stylistic function". They don't have only the stylistic function here, it is the actual name of the band, it is not "merely a stylized form of Babymetal" as you say. 2. Most of the newspaper headlines you changed weren't in English, the rule you linked doesn't say anything about Japanese text. 3. You can ask at Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan. --Moscow Connection (talk) 00:05, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It lists Joe Dassin and somebody else as composers whereas the song appears to be, at least partially, both melody and style wise a cover of a previous year hit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Melody_of_Love which in itself was a cover of another song (and mentions it). Somebody should correct it, but to what extent (whether or not Dassin paid for the writes and wrote some of his own stuff or not I don't know) I am not sure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vkulesho (talk • contribs) 20:04, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Soviet Aviation Task Force invitation
Hi! I just found you on Wikipedia and noticed you are fluent in both English in Russian. Would you please consider writing some of the articles from Russian version translation on our missing list? Many articles there are well above and beyond notability requirements, such as major plane crashes and some of the more famous Heroes of the Soviet Union. We also have a lot of stubs that are in desperate need of expansion. I really hope you can help with our translation backlog, these are on very notable topics that deserve more coverage. Based on your username, is there any chance you would be able to get a few photos of an Aeroflot Antonov An-10 and Aeroflot Ilyushin Il-18B (they're in museums, not in service) and upload them to Commons? Thank you so much, we would be very appreciative of a native Russian speaker in our task force.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 01:00, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Could you please give me a reason for removing my edits on the article of Anatoly Shariy. The Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group is a respected organization which is relevant enough to have an own Wikipedia article. An "awful" looking website is not a reason for removing information. The article that I have used as reference contains no controversial or disputed information. Every media sources ([40][41]) agree that Shariy was charged because of the McDonalds incident. Shariy never denied this information.--KastusK (talk) 20:08, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I can see now that there are multiple sources. But one of your sources says:
Shariy said that the incident at McDonald's was no coincidence, because earlier he began investigating the subject of illegal drug trade that "was covered, speaking directly, led, by the Interior Ministry." According to the journalist, the police conducted their investigation into the shooting at McDonalds in four days, trumped up a criminal case against him under Part 4, Article 296 of the Criminal Code (hooliganism committed with a firearm) and sent it to the courts.
You can add this information to the article if you want. However it does not make my edits less valid. Wikipedia allows to use Ukrainska Pravda as a source. About a thousand Wikipedia articles have references to this medium. The article on Anatoly Shariy even used the same article of the Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group as a reference in its introduction. I have restored the information.--KastusK (talk) 22:13, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed you renamed Frances & Aiko, but the group debuted only in Taiwan only under the name 大小姐 and their URL is lists the translation "Big Small Sister." Chinese groups, unlike Japanese, usually have their names translated instead of keeping it Romanized. I think it's inaccurate to keep the group's name as "Frances & Aiko" especially since they never debuted under that name and it was only a placeholder until they actually debuted. lullabying (talk) 16:12, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Songs with lyrics by Eddy Marnay;
I have no problem with the creation of this category IF he only contributed lyrics, but if he has contributed any music then he is a songwriter, then that should be the only category. Or are you suggesting there should be 2 or more cats for effectively the same thing? --Richhoncho (talk) 18:32, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know, are there any precedents of multiple categories for songs written/composed by the same person? As far as I understand, he wrote almost exclusively lyrics, although there are a few examples to the contrary ([42]). --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:47, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There are plenty of examples where lyricists are listed under songwriters because the contribution is fluid, especially amongst bands. My point is there is no point in having 2 cats, if 'songwriter' is incorrect I am OK with that. --Richhoncho (talk) 19:04, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know which is the right way to do these things. All I can say that the French Wikipedia calls Eddy Marnay a lyricist. And I've just scrolled through it, the article talks about his many collaborations with famous composers but it doesn't mention any music by him. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:23, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I would say let's just leave both categories as they are. I think that sooner or later all but a couple of his songs will be moved to the lyrics-only category. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:04, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry my Russian isn't up to that. Isn't the whole point that a songwriter can write either words or music? FWIW, I created many of the lyricist cats... --Richhoncho (talk) 22:08, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Do as you wish (you can redirect the "with lyrics by" category), but I still think my category is more precise and will ultimately be more useful. (It already is.) Sorry, I have just one hour and a half left to nominate an article I've created for DYK, so I won't be able to continue this discussion today. I'll be back tomorrow, though. (Just redirect my category if you really think it's better like that.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:35, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have redirected the lyrics cat. In my searches I always found Eddy mentioned as a songwriter, not as a lyricist, according to ASCAP, he also wrote at least one song with Norman Gimbel, who is a lyricist. --Richhoncho (talk) 10:13, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Angelina (French singer)
Hello:
The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Angelina (French singer) has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
This article is grossly over cited. Only one reputable source is required when a fact is added to an article. Some facts here are supported by six or more citations! This is completely unnecessary and makes editing the article a chore. Also, since the article is tagged with a dmy date format tag, dates in the citation should also appear in the same format. I would suggest that you work your way through the article and remove the excess citations leaving only the most reputable.
Hi. Perhaps you still do this or have done it elsewhere, I'm not sure, but I have recently noticed that years ago, you started a number of Japanese artists' articles and in the discography section wikitables, used Template:Start date to format the date. The template's documentation explicitly states it should never be used outside templates that emit microformats, which it was built for. This means it should not be used in wikitables, but only really infoboxes, so please just type the date out if you make these tables in future. Thanks. Ss11203:58, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Les Frangines
Hello:
The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Les Frangines has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
I would suggest that the DYK text should read "that both members of Les Frangines learned to play guitar by watching online video lessons?"
@Twofingered Typist: Thank you so much! I've now changed it to your version. But someone may revert. Cause I've noticed it long ago that most members of the DYK project like to preface people's names with descriptors such as "Spanish singer", "French singer", "Japanese band", "French musical duo". A recent example: • ... that the performance of French singer Angelina(pictured) at the 2018 Junior Eurovision Song Contest marked France's return to the competition after 14 years? :-) --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:57, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Moscow Connection and Twofingered Typist: I'd argue that we normally use "the" when talking about playing musical instruments – i.e. "play the guitar" is preferred over "play guitar" (which incidentally makes it sound a little like a game or sport). This ngram chart of "play the guitar" vs "play guitar" shows that the former is consistently more common. This convention is even more emphasised when comparing "play the piano" vs "play piano". I don't mind either way about providing a brief descriptor in the hook, as the context already makes it clear that they're musicians, but a little more detail usually isn't undesirable. — RAVENPVFF·talk·18:37, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Anatoly Shariy ; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
1. The quality of the sources in the section you deleted is even better than in the rest of the article. There are some of very high quality and some of so-so qiality, but the latter (UNIAN, for example) are used throughout the article. 2. As I've already told you, if you want to make the article compliant with BLP, you should start by deleting material which is potentially libellous. There's nothing even remotely potentially libellous in the section you deleted. Actually, it's the only positive material in the whole article. 3. I've already replied to you elsewhere, so please stop attacking me on my talk page. --Moscow Connection (talk) 18:11, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure I understand. Relative quality within an article is irrelevant. WP:OSE.
Please identify it. — The whole controversy section. It is sourced almost exclusively from Ukrainian media, those that are interested in discrediting any opposition to the current Ukrainian government. UNIAN, 24TV, Ukrainska Pravda, Obozrevatel and such. And I haven't really read much of the article, but I can already see at least one blog used. And some site called mediananny.com, for example. Could you please not post to my talk page anymore? I really feel uncomfortable, like I'm being harrassed or something. I joined the discussion on the talk page immediately, yet you continued to attack me here. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:20, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Created an article - Draft:Dmitry Borisovich Volkov. During the review, I was made a comment about the style of advertising. It is difficult for me to correct the article, as I do not know English well. On the forum, I was advised to contact a participant who knows Russian and English well. I really ask for your help in adjusting the advertising style of the article. You are the last chance to help. I will be very grateful to you !!! Thank you very much. 95.153.128.35 (talk) 06:10, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I'm very sorry, but I'm not good at encyclopedic prose myself. And the article is rather long, it would take too much time even to read it. (Sorry, I've got plans of my own and I'm trying to make myself continue with them, so it just won't be wise from my part to distract myself and work on your article.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 17:35, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Please note that your recent behavior against me is not really fair and constructive. We currently have an ongoing discussion that you have started yourself, to which I wrote a very detailed comment. Instead of adequately replying to it, you've said that you "don't have time to read this", yet you proceeded to revert my edits with summaries saying that I'm "disrupting Wikipedia" ([1], [2]). Don't you think it's already a bit unfair and uncivil?
Furthermore, you have flooded my talk page with {{uw-3rr}} which doesn't seem appropriate at all. You know very well that I've never been anywhere near violating the 3RR, and if it wasn't for WP:Don't template the regulars, you might have received {{uw-tempabuse1}} in return.
1. You continued to remove stress marks before I had a chance to reply. Yes, I think that was disruptive. 2. The message in that template is more universal. You don't have to violate 3RR to be edit warring. But I'll rename the section to "Edit warring" if you wish. (I'll do it now.) 2. I've told you several times already that if you want something changed you need to start a wider discussion. Your talk page isn't the right place to discuss the matter. --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:47, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. I don't intend to rewrite Novikoff's essay since that would be a colossal task, as I pointed out on the essay's talk page. It would be easier just to delete it altogether. Besides, I'm really tired of this "war", so I don't want to invest too much time into it. Best regards. Taurus Littrow (talk) 14:01, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Taurus Littrow: Good job, I like it! Actually, I would say that "it is often impossible to determine the correct stress placement even for a native speaker (especially in place names and in last names other than the common ones)". This would be more exact. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:33, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Moscow Connection; I noticed while fixing a broken reference that two of the sources, 17 and 18, appear to be identical so it might be best to use only one of them. While I'm here, your talk page is rather long and should be archived so editors don't need to scroll down so far to leave messages; it also takes far too long for all of that text to load on slow connections (not to mention images). I see several requests for you to do this, one dating back to 2012, and I asked in December 2019! Cheers and good luck with the article, Baffle☿gab06:05, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You don't need to create every article on an Elvis song with a disambiguated title, such as you did with The Sound of Your Cry (Elvis Presley song). The base title is The Sound of Your Cry and there is no other article on Wikipedia using that title, it is just a redirect to an Elvis album. Always try the base title first, and if that's unavailable use "(song)" as the disambiguator if there is no other song with that title. If there are multiple songs with the same title, then use "(Elvis Presley song)". Thanks. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me19:47, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars: Yes, okay, I will rename the articles later. I just wanted to create them fast. (I had drafts for 20 or so articles on Elvis Presley songs since at least 2019. And then yesterday I saw a new user who started creating some of the articles I wanted to create. So I decided I'd better create them myself and fast.) Actually, I found my drafts just a week or two ago and had them ready and waiting, but planned to take on Elvis Presley songs after I finished with Johnny Cash. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:22, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks. I've already put in histmerge and move requests for all the ones I could find. Hopefully, you can expand on some of these to say more than it charted in Belgium. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me20:27, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars: Thank you! That would be much appreciated! I'll work on the articles too, I didn't plan to leave them like that. Actually, I'm now looking at my drafts folder and I understand that I didn't create these articles back in 2017–2019 because I didn't want to expand them from redirects. And that's why I named my drafts like this. :-) Not all of them, but some including "Indescribably Blue" and "One Broken Heart for Sale" the other user created yesterday already existed as redirects. By the way, he probably thought the same as me. Cause he also created the articles under a different name. --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:17, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, it has happened many times to me already that I wanted to create an article and there was a redirect and I decided not to proceed. But then some other person created the article elsewhere and asked to move it to that place. :-) "Metal Resistance" is one of the examples. I'm not sure what is the correct procedure in these cases. --Moscow Connection (talk) 01:00, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Please do good work on the encyclopedia, not fast work. You get no bonus points for being the page creator. Rushing to create incomplete and mis-titled articles because you're worried someone else might create them is not recommended behavior. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:34, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm working on it. Don't worry. I created maybe 50 or 80 or even close to 100 Elvis Presley articles three years ago, so 25 more is not a big deal. I'll need a week or so. --Moscow Connection (talk) 04:39, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm happy to give you a week to de-stubify these creations; generally any song that hits the Top 100 charts can be expanded to an article. I'm not happy that you appear to be creating articles at incorrect titles just so you can show up as the first editor. Every source I find says "I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone" is the title (despite the lyrics going the other way), as do both of your sources (yes, the Billboard magazine reference has it both ways on different pages). power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:46, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The titles aren't incorrect. Only this one. (Yes, it definitely looks like it is incorrect.) I will request to rename the article right now, if you wish. (Maybe five or so have "Elvis Presley song" added unnecessary, that's all.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 04:56, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Some of the redirects had useful categories, e.g. the writer, that you didn't use on the article. The targets also referred to the song, but you didn't create a wikilink from the redirect target to the new article. Remember to pay attention to such details. Fences&Windows21:39, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I didn't look at the redirects when I was creating the articles. (Yes, now I'm starting to remember how some years ago I saw a number of redirects created by Dr. Blofeld and didn't know what to do.) As I've said, on February 8 I noticed that a user started mass-creating articles that I wanted to create since a long time. (And he didn't even do a good job, see Draft:He Walks Beside Me.) I understood it was my last chance, cause he would create everything I wanted and the result would be worse that mine would have been. So I took my old drafts folder and started creating everything there was and even more. (There were many subfolders with text files and sources and Wikipedia shortcuts like "Creating [page name]".) Anyway, sorry for the inconvenience. I'll add the writer categories everywhere. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:06, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, I don't remember seeing the official Elvis website back in 2016–2019. There are now pages for all Elvis' singles on the website, so it will be much easier for me to create Wikipedia pages on them. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:11, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Again, what's the rush? Why not just improve the articles the other editor ends up creating? This is not a race. Also, an official website isn't a reliable source for establishing notability. Thanks. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me00:56, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!
About this revert - diff 1.
I am okay when people revert notes on their own talk page since I presume, that they saw the note and they understand what was the reason for it. In this case your edit summary says "unwarranted", so I guess you disagree with the note or don't understand it. The note was placed because of this comment - diff 2. I hope now the situation is clear. Or do you want me to explain why this kind of messages are forum type and should not be made on article's talk page?--Renat12:53, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not a credible genre of music with enough history or actual usage of the term within artists. As far as I'm aware, Babymetal is the only artist who have actively used the term. If being a metal band with pop vocals is enough to be "kawaii metal", why don't we start slapping the term on bands like Nightwish? The insistence that "kawaii metal" is a credible genre of music with a history of artists actually using and embracing the term is laughable; it's literally only been Babymetal and western journalists gassing them up who have used the term frankly almost a decade ago. It's straight up just not a thing in Japan where this "scene" is alleged to be taking place and if anything, this page should be replaced or renamed to "alt-idol" or "chika idol", which are actual terms in Japan used to describe idols who blend edgy rock/metal aesthetics with being idols. When more artists start using the term rather than just journalists, then I'll stop nominating this page for deletion. Until then it's just glorified orientalism and fetishization. About as credible as anime nerds thinking that Japan is some kind of apolitical anime wonderland. Grow up.

You indented your answer with an asterisk (*).
Is this (just) individual style?
Because: (of course you know) the usual way is: to use a colon (:).
Is this (just) individual style? – I don't know if this can count as an "individual style". It's just that I've probably never read the "rules for formatting your replies" (or whatever they are called). And no one has ever complained before. (AFAIR, on the French Wiki you have to use a colon cause if you use an asterisk it won't look the same, but here on the Enwiki the difference is imperceptible to me.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 10:59, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Congrats !! - You just passed 444 topics in your ToC
From a living user -- not a bot.
Hi Moscow Connection,
(I'm not complaining, this is just an idea/suggestion.)
On your Talk page I wanted to know/see how many topics there are.
When I scrolled down the content table of your Talk page, I had to scroll down quite a while. You just passed 444. Respect! (I have heard, the Russians love such numbers.)
But after a while I thought: It would be nice to have a button/link, named something like:
[ To the bottom of the Table of Content ].
And if you wanted to "put the dot on the i" (meaning: top this) this button/link would be visible always (within the ToC), no matter which section is visible currently (like the header band of some normal tables).
My first idea was: An anchor at the bottom of and within the ToC (but this could be tricky).
My second idea: An anchor before the first actual header (this would be no technical challenge).
My last idea: I could just click into the top most line in the ToC, and when the text is made visible, scroll up a few lines.
But this only is possible if the top of the ToC is already visible.
I also tried [Ctrl]+[End] (with the "writing position indicator" in the ToC ) but it led to the bottom of the whole page.
Or, maybe, a counter for the number of topics -- if this is possible technically.
This way such a question like mine would be answered without any scrolling.
On the other hand:
When I loaded my first topic up to your Talk page, this took much more time than loading my edits up to any other page (of any wikipedia). And this was so with every action which the wiki software had to do with your page, like:
waiting for the page to open, after I clicked on [ New section ],
preview and
loading my edit up and waiting for the indication that it got done.
I guess this is due to the impressive number of topics.
I think, now I understand, why some owners use an archive.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Devil's Right Hand until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Moscow Connection thanked you for your edit on Born to Lose (Ted Daffan song)
You're welcome, I wanted to thank you in turn for starting the page! Thank God I spotted it at the perfect time. I was sitting on Ted Daffan and 1943 in country music material that I had researched and written in segments. I re-wrote the 1943 page and "Pistol Packin' Mama", and was looking to use my other material when your page came along!

I'm really not sure what you are trying to do with Bim bam toi. In my edit (please examine the page) I used the template with the ‡ footnote, which reads, very clearly "Sales+streaming figures based on certification alone". It does not signify sales, it signifies a mixture of sales and streaming. You reverted with the summary the song didn't sell 100 thousand, which of course it didn't and that's not what the template is saying. Perhaps you are not aware of the fact that the {{Certification Table Entry}} template is used with the ‡ footnote in 17252 pages. It is the result of a very long lasting (12 years now) consensus and effort to standardize record certifications, which you are working against. --Muhandes (talk) 09:37, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But the footnote in your version clearly stated "100,000". And that was certainly misleading. (I think this template just doesn't work right in this case. So maybe a manually-created table would be better. And, by the way, AFAIK, the gold certification is now given to a single that sold 50,000 and not 100,000 copies.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 09:47, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The number 100,000 is very obviously in equivalent units, in exactly the same way it is listed in the other 17252 pages which are using the ‡ footnote and equivalent units. This is the result of 12 years of discussions and consensus, and the way the community has chosen to work. If you think the template could be improved, start discussion at Template talk:Certification Table Entry. Don't go against consensus. --Muhandes (talk) 10:09, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, but I don't have so much time so as to go through lengthy discussions on the template talk page. I simply think the template doesn't work right in that particular case, so I removed the sales figure and the footnotes from that paricular article. It's not a big deal, is it? --Moscow Connection (talk) 10:36, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't speak French, and frankly, I don't care much how the French Wikipedia community chooses to work. The English Wikipedia, and specifically the people involved with record charts, choose to display equivalent units, except for some certifications where streams are used exclusively. I'm not saying the template is perfect, and for sure there is place for improvements - you are very welcome to make suggestions about improving the template at Template talk:Certification Table Entry. --Muhandes (talk) 10:13, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"By the way, 15 million streams at "150 streams equal 1 sale" comes out 100,000 equivalent sales, which is exactly what the template outputs. — Yes, that's why I decided that it would be okay to revert to your version. :-) "If you can think of a way to make the footnote clearer." — I'll try to think about it later. --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:22, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
