Hi Richard,
I'm not a regular Wikipedia contributor, but am a massive fan of your input to the UK chart sections of songs. I have been researching year-end singles charts and have found myself frustrated at the lack of available information for the 1990s: can I ask how many Music Week editions you have with 90s year-end charts, and if you could share the top 100 data for these years?
Kind regards,
Ben :) 83.244.233.102 ( talk) 04:03, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi. I saw that you edited Briana Buckmaster's talk page. However, that deletion request was from 2016, whereas the page was made in 2021 and I believe has more information including her theater work as well as an album she released. Can you delete that request since it's an old request or if you believe it should be deleted make a new discussion? Thanks. - J ( talk) 16:24, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
I would like to talk to you in regards to having my page redirected after 14 years. My work has been mainly from the band Human Drama for 35 years. We have fans in over 80 countries. I have also recorded with Gene Loves Jezabel that was also included on one of the episodes on the series Everwood. Please reconsider. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:290:60e0:d534:1623:76fc:50ee ( talk • contribs) 20:07, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
"Members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability.". And "individual notability" means that someone has discussed said notability outside of the band at length. Simply having a credit on a record sleeve isn't enough (thousands of musicians have that), or having the song played on a TV program... it's not particularly rare for an artist, even a completely unknown artist, to have their music played in the background of a TV episode. The sources in the original article were simply links to online record stores, blogs (which fail WP:RS), or talked about Human Drama. If you can find me any reliable independent sources which discuss your work outside of Human Drama in depth I will happily reconsider. Richard3120 ( talk) 21:26, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi. I saw you've replied to an earlier thread on Template talk:Album chart. Would you consider offering your perspective, whatever it may be, at Template talk:Album chart#RfC on this template's format. Thanks. Ss 112 12:31, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
Hey i wish there was more sources to the Mikey D albums so I could add on reliable sources but this is all I could find. Record reviews? No where to be found. But I don't want these articles to disappear. Ceedub88 ( talk) 00:41, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
Hey there Richard! Since you tag WikiProjects, I just wanted to give you an update on the Latin music project. Per this discussion, the Latin music project now covers all Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking recordings from around the world regardless of release. Previously, only those released in Ibero-America or the US was eligible. So whether it was only released in Greece, Angola, or whatever, if the album/song is in Spanish or Portuguese, it falls under the project scope. Thanks again as always for banner tags.

Hi, Richard. Well. As I mentioned before, it seems that the official title is The Cruel Angel's Thesis. You can read it in the title of the 2018 re-release and the official YT video by King Records. I'm gonna request to move the article accordingly. I forgot to do this before since I'm kinda busy in RL. Or you want to do this on your own?-- TeenAngels1234 ( talk) 12:28, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi, Richard. I saw you moved the " Est-ce que tu viens pour les vacances?" page, with the comment: "there shouldn't be a space before the question mark". I'm not familiar with WP rules on this issue, but it's a song in French-language, and Question mark#Stylistic variants says: "French usage should include a narrow non-breaking space before the question mark. (For example, "Que voulez-vous boire ?")" (see also fr:Wikipédia:Conventions typographiques#Signes de ponctuation on the French WP). Regards, Europe22 ( talk) 20:17, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

On the page for the Band Aid song, you took out the genre Christmas, which, because the song is clearly themed around Christmas, makes no sense. Why would it need a source? 47.36.25.163 ( talk) 00:42, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi, I have noticed that Dirth page has been recently delated. I was a member of this band but I have to agree that whoever did the page did not provide all information and links available.
I was trying to update the Dirth page yesterday but it was too late.
So the Dirth band existed, we have recorded 2 albums and played gigs in London for 3 years. Then in 2008 the the group has stopped. Members Alec Whittier, John Moss, Mat Drozd, Gerald Lim.
(I have all live shows recorded as well as all songs ever created on my hard disc and there is a plan to release the albums this year.)
Can the Dirth Wikipedia page be live again?
Please let me know.
Kind regards Mat

Thanks Richard! I will have look at this and ask other members for sources but Gerald is in Singapore, Alec in Florida and I have not heard from them as they have changed their numbers due to other countries roaming. John Moss is still in London, I am in Nottingham we are all busy with current projects so it might take some time...

Hi Richard3120,
I wanted to thank you for letting me know about what is missing for the article "Utopía Live from MetLife Stadium". This album is from one of the most famous Latin music artist in history. So I will try to add more info about the live album. Please don't remove it nor redirect it. The album came out last year so it is a little hard to find more information about it. I can add the "needs more citation and verification" tag that some articles have or I can save this as a draft. This album is from a notable musician which is one of the requirements from the WP:NALBUM. I will add more to it. Soon there should be a few music charts in which the album has on. I think the album itself had less advertisement then it's film version. But I know I will get more info on it since it's from one of the greatest in Latin Music. Everything he releases always makes it to mainstream articles and I know I can make sure it has valid reasons to be kept on Wikipedia. I actually created another album article of his a few years back when he was with his group known as Aventura. It took me three tries and it was finally approved because I showed the proper proof of articles. It was based on a 1995 album the group did before being famous. The Spanish Wikipedia also has the same article. I know from experience how it's like to try to keep an article and it ends up getting removed at the end. I actually created an album article for a another bachata group call Xtreme. It was not approved by other Wiki users because of lack of resources. So I do understand your point of view about Romeo Santos's live album. I will try my best to make sure it fits the WP:NALBUM rules. My first few edits were when I first started editing on Wiki were questioned by other users but eventually I got to learn to add sources and continue to show the right proof. So once I again I thank you for letting me know more or less what is missing for the live album.
Thank You,

"An album requires its own notability, and that notability is not inherited and requires independent evidence. That an album is an officially released recording by a notable musician or ensemble is not by itself reason for a standalone article."And this is the problem here: I can't find any reliable sources about the album itself. I had a look on the Billboard website, and it doesn't seem like this album charted in the USA, not even on the Latin Albums chart. And it's very unlikely to appear on any charts in the future, because it has already been released for seven months. So if it has charted anywhere, you will have to search the archives of the album charts of various Latin American countries.
Hello Richard! I noticed you moved an article about the forthcoming Roger Waters tour, This Is Not a Drill, redirecting to his. I have been working on a draft about the tour since it was announced back in January 2020. I submitted it once to AfC in April 2020, and since the first concert is near, I resubmitted it. I would like you to read it and let me know what you think about it. It has a background section and other information about the show, besides the list of dates. Any suggestion is well received.

Hi richard, i'm not an user here but i've seen wikipedia talk pages a lot and seen that you are very likely prestigious here, you are an administrator and i'd like to know if there's any possibility that in the page of best-selling girl groups can be Fifth Harmony's Work From Home include in the top of the table of best-selling singles worlwide, the user Moonlight provided a source in Spanish from a latin radio station which comes Planet Radio but from Peru, so i don't know why they considered it unreliable, which they provided a 10 million claim, however some rude editors reverted it, despite the song having certified more than 8 million units which is very close and not exaggerated at all, ever since the song became a smash hit, everyone knows the song is pretty much the best selling from a girl group and this come from pure subjectivity i swear but there aren't other sources saying it cause they are disbanded and they are not as talked about as before? I was about to comment it to the user Moonlight to see what we can do but she has a block in her main page, so apparently she would not comeback for a while. 200.88.210.122 ( talk) 03:36, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
Hi, Richard. I see you've been replacing Ireland2
entries (which are sourced from
irish-charts.com) with archived Chart-Track links in album articles, stating that Ireland2
no longer shows chart positions. Irish-charts.com still displays chart positions for me, though – see
The Killers' page for instance. What gives?

Ireland
ID from {{
Album chart}} contains archives of most (if not all) Chart-Track chart weeks, so you don't have to manually add the chart in case you'd like to use the old Chart-Track chart.

Thanks for your edit to Twentytwenty (Sara Niemietz album). I am a COI editor and do not edit in the article space.
I notice that in the edit where you add your notability maintenance banner, you also removed a reference from Parade Magazine. I have an edit request to have it added back in. Talk:Twentytwenty_(Sara_Niemietz_album)
I also want to point out that BeondTV is owned by veteran journalist Carlos_Amezcua and should qualify as RS. I believe that AllMusic is also an RS source in some cases. Additionally, the album is reviewed on [ Jazzrock.tv] I originally thought this was just a blog, but the page indicates that there is editorial controls as several levels.
Finally, I note that you did not start a discussion on the talk page per the removal guidance about your notability claim. This is a problematic habit because the banner provides no indication as to which editor placed the banner. It is extremely difficult to go through an edit history to find out who placed a maintenance banner after additional edits have been made and the banner goes stale. WP:RESPTAG
Thanks again!

With the release of her album twentytwenty in October of 2020, Sara Niemietz’s music landed on the Billboard Charts and into her fans’ homes with weekly live streams, online benefits, and countless videos.
2. The recording has appeared on any country's national music chart.
It is published by a recognized reliable source. This includes any IFPI affiliate, Billboard magazine, or any organization with the support of Nielsen SoundScan.
1. Primary sources that have been reputably published may be used in Wikipedia, but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them.
Good to know about editing that box (5, 6, 7, 8's). That's the first time I've made such an edit - I was in the article, it caught my eye, and I just impulsively did it. Thnks for the information in your edit summary. -- Pete Best Beatles ( talk) 01:19, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Richard, not sure if you’re in the Headswim Facebook group? Saw your recent update re the reunion/re-issue and thought you may like this info re the correct bassist who proceeded Clovis in Headswim following the demise of Blinder? Clovis stated on the group that Paul Rimmer was the bassist that proceeded him. He’s credited on the Gone To Pot 12” single (see discogs) and is now his brother in law, having married his sister. I don’t think Matt Pegg was ever in Headswim given this info. Clovis joined in early 93, I believe based on Rook Randle (frontman of the end) saying his last gig with The End was 17/12/1992 see a link to his post to the group below. Also be great if you could credit the Facebook group which kickstarted the whole Headswim reunion and where Joel Clayton from Trapped Animal and Clovis became acquainted. The group consisted of 13 members for years before its growth, which led to the band finding out about it, joining up and the rest bud history.

Hello Richard, quite some time ago you added an issue ( Wikipedia:Reliable sources) to the page Teus Nobel that I started. I think I tried at that time to ask you to explain a bit which sources exactly you find unreliable, but I guess I didn't use the right way for that. So, another attempt.
Can you help me (I use Dutch Wikipedia a lot more than the EN) by pointing out which links you think are unreliable and for what reasons? Or just some rough guidance? Thanks in advance Yoozed ( talk) 18:19, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

I published this article recently - Draft:J.M.I. Recordings - and it was speedy deleted. I'm wondering if you might be able to review it this time around before I publish it again? Record labels seems a little tricky to have published sources where it is a primary subject, because most of the articles that discuss the label are discussing particular albums or artists the label has produced.

Hi Richard, i found that the article List of best-selling music artists has some info that is not updated. I think it could be something good to try to update the article with consensus among wikieditors that are experts in music wiki and update that page. The page has several issues. Just to cite some:
I am writing to you to advise me on how to proceed with this. How can I find qualified people to help me update the page and raise its quality standards?
