Hi – I'm puzzled by your edit here... I have a copy of Music Week's 1997 year-end charts, and it definitely has Backstreet Boys at no. 38 and Robbie Williams at no. 39... where are you getting your information from? Richard3120 (talk) 23:23, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

@Richard3120: I'm so sorry about that. Before my last round of edits on Everybody (Backstreet's Back) ([4]), I saw that its UK YE position was 39, so I got confused and double-checked with a sketchy source online, which said its position was 39. I may have had a lapse of judgement there, especially since I was getting drowsy. It happens. I'll make sure not to do that again. ResPM (T🔈 🎵C) 23:37, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

No problem at all, I don't blame you... the reason I asked is that the figures that were collected for UK sales from 1994 to 1997 have been endlessly debated by chart watchers, and appear to have been changed over the years by the OCC, so it wouldn't have surprised me if you'd found a source which had "updated" figures and placings. End of year single charts on the OCC's website only go back to 2005, but the end of year album charts go back to 1995, and the rankings on the 1995 and 1996 charts on there are substantially different from those that were published in Music Week at the time. Of course, the OCC have never explained these retroactive changes. Richard3120 (talk) 01:33, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for a information and topic about it. Now, everything is clear and I understand it. I thought that the LP3 is the same as the other charts in articles about songs, but now it's clear to me, that it's not the same. Thanks your quoting a link about it, I read it and it's helpful for me. Thanks for a note about it. Maybe I can help you in deleting it from many songs where I wrote about it?--Takoden (talk) 03:16, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

@Takoden: I always remove LP3 if I see it, but I'm not a user who usually engages in mass deletion unless it's obvious vandalism—it's over my personal workload. Since I mostly edit articles for songs released in the 90s or 00s, I can usually keep chart information in line there, but based on what I've seen, users generally add LP3 to articles for songs released during the 80s, which is slightly outside my core interest range. Looking at your contributions, it looks like you added LP3 to a lot of 80s articles, so I think you can handle that decade while I watch over the more recent ones.

Hey! I just wanted to say first of all, thank you so much for all of your hard work in adding release dates. Your finds have been INCREDIBLE! That's pretty much all I do here on Wikipedia these days because it can be very difficult to source these things and a lot of users don't really bother putting energy into finding them, so it's so great to see another editor adding them as well! Secondly, I was wondering if you could find and add the release dates for Pink's I'm Not Dead singles in Australia. — Status (talk · contribs) 17:13, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

@Status: I appreciate your thanks. I'm currently searching through every ARIA Report archive from 2001 to (tentatively) early 2006 and am currently in March 2004, so I'm about halfway done. However, since I like Pink, I'll go ahead and search for them. ResPM (T🔈 🎵C) 17:28, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

@Status: I've found the release dates for all the singles released in Australia except for "Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely)" and "Dear Mr. President". Based on my findings, I suspect "Lonely" was released on April 30, 2007, while "President" was released on July 9, 2007, but neither song is listed as a "new release". ResPM (T🔈 🎵C) 18:00, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Nice to meet you. I do not understand why you reversed my edit. I was only trying to make the page look tidier (as well as adding some new information); I think that quotation marks should only be used for exactly that: quotations - and not to highlight or place emphasis on a word or title.

Anyway, I do not want to argue over something as ridiculous as this, so I wish you well and I hope you carry on being a good Wikipedia editor. Gregwholikestrains (talk) 02:31, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi RPM,

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) 03:57, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

@83.244.233.102: You can access online archives here, although some issues are incomplete, so some year-end charts are missing. Sometimes I include the url and sometimes I don't. Some users feel that using the url is a copyright issue, but I'll let you decide whether or not to include it. ResPM (T🔈 🎵C) 12:18, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Oh wonderful, thanks so much! You and Richard3120 fight the good fight :)

Hi ResolutionsPerMinute, I saw that you removed the "Rock" genre I had tagged for this song--stating that a nomination for a Rock grammy, does not make the song a rock song. I'm fairly new to Wikipedia, could you point me in the direction of some specific guidelines on genre? Being that the Grammy awards are governed by the RIAA, I would imagine that a major nomination would be enough of a governing body to suggest a style of music, particular since none was listed. Please advise me on how I can offer proof of genre. --UnsungHeroWiki (talk) 22:49, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

@UnsungHeroWiki: Thanks for asking, and I'd be glad to help. First of all, you should know that when it comes to music genres on Wikipedia, we tend to be exceptionally picky. Genres must be sourced, and they must come from high-quality sources, which means that the sources should be reputable, trustworthy works. A good place to see which sources you should and shouldn't use is at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources (don't let the name fool you; it applies to songs too). When it comes to awards such as Grammys, they tend to be loose with categorization, and that's why I removed the genre. In that sense, "rock" is no different than "pop" or "dance". What specific style is it? Is it just "rock" or "alternative rock" or "roots rock" or "pop rock" or "jangle pop" or et cetera? See what I mean? Another good rule is that if you can log into the site and change the content (AllMusic, Discogs, 45cat, fan sites), then you should never cite them. That's basically the long and short of it. I'd be happy to answer any more questions you may have, or you may prefer going to the Teahouse to get feedback from more editors. ResPM (T🔈 🎵C) 23:14, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

@ResolutionsPerMinute Gotcha! I see what you mean about genre. So I need to find a reference to that song's genre from one of the "Generally Reliable Sources" listed? Is it enough if a reliable source (that is on the list) refers to it as a general "rock" track--or do I need to find a source that cites one of the more specific sub-genres you mentioned (alternative rock, roots rock, etc)? From what you're saying I gather that is preferential to have a more descriptive sub-genre cited, but in cases where a citation to that sub-genre can't be found -- is it better to leave the Genre blank than cite such an over-encompassing genre like "Rock"? Thanks for your response and your help! UnsungHeroWiki (talk) 23:40, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

@UnsungHeroWiki: Yes, if you can find a reliable source that just says "rock", it's okay to use, but be sure use common sense. For example, I once saw something where an editor removed "pop" with a reliable reference because it wasn't technically a pop song in any sense (I think it was by the Beatles or U2, but I can't remember exactly). As such, if you see a source calling a Pearl Jam song a "pop" song, it's probably speaking figuratively. It takes a little while to figure out how all this works, but you'll start getting the hang of it if you keep visiting articles and noticing the patterns.

By the way, you don't need to ping users on their own talk pages, and to ping, use the {{reply to|Username}} template or one of its redirects :). ResPM (T🔈 🎵C) 00:00, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks RPM, I appreciate you taking the time to help me out! I checked out your user page, and those useful links you have there will be helpful for me.

Hi again, I was going through the charts for "Doctor Pressure" and noticed that the Finland template is broken. I attempted to fix it using the manually searched page as a reference but could not replicate it with the template parameters. If you are available, can you see if this can be resolved? Thanks. — Angryjoe1111 (talk) 08:38, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

@Angryjoe1111: I've taken care of the issue. The problem is the slash, and changing it to its url code, %2F, will usually fix the issue. I don't think this works for all punctuation, however, as I can't find a workaround on the Finnish template for apostrophes, which led me to drop the template on What's in It for Me and Can't Get You Out of My Head and cite manually. If coding the punctuation doesn't work, it might just be worth it to add a full citation. You can bring this up at Template talk:Single chart if you want, but I don't know if any fixes can be applied at this time. ResPM (T🔈 🎵C) 12:01, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi there- thanks for your edit, I found it very helpful and you had so much better info to add. I have a hard time interpreting instructions on Wikipedia (have also tried using YouTube for this) so I learn most through example (and clearly some trial and error). I used the next song on the album as my example when attempting to bulk it up. See here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girls_%26_Boys_(Good_Charlotte_song) Should the info about movie release be removed there as well? Thank you again. NuttMerg (talk) 19:48, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

@NuttMerg: Yes, this information should be removed since A.) it does not belong in the article's opening sentence and B.) it's totally uncited. I've noticed that there's been a big push lately to trim down IPC content on Wikipedia, so you should be careful with what you add and where it comes from. If you want, you can use "The Anthem" as a template to expand "Girls & Boys", because all the information I added there can be found and sourced easily. ResPM (T🔈 🎵C) 19:58, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

Regarding this edit of yours, the release date you indicated was Monday, May 1, 2006. Most major-label singles are released on Tuesday in the US. Also, there's one typo in the year, which brings me here to ask for another look at the source material which you cited but which is offline.

For "But It's Better If You Do", RIAA Gold and Platinum report the release date as May 16, a Tuesday. What do you think? Binksternet (talk) 17:01, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

@Binksternet: The source is online, but I decided to stop including the urls to World Radio History since several users see them as infringing links. The typo was a goof. As for the date the RIAA provides, that's the US release date. Music Week is a British publication, and it clearly states that the UK physical release date of "But It's Better If You Do" is May 1, 2006. I can add a Release History section to clear up the confusion. ResPM (T🔈 🎵C) 17:29, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi.

@Philipf95: Because you didn't add a citation. Don't be a genre warrior. ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 13:46, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

how do i do that — Preceding unsigned comment added by Philipf95 (talk • contribs) 19:03, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

@Philipf95: If you mean how do you cite sources, see Help:Referencing for beginners. ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 19:07, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi. I just noticed your post on HumanxAnthro's talk page late last month. You do realise that zobbel.de has both a Template:Single chart and Template:Album chart entry citing the site, right? Which certainly seems to indicate some users in the past have considered its data reliable enough to cite. I'm of the opinion that until you lobby to get that removed and zobbel.de placed on the websites to avoid list, it's not a binding consensus nor broadly considered unreliable. As noted in one of the discussions you linked to, it republished data only available to UKChartsPlus subscribers, which is helpful, "personal blog" or not. This discussion has no consensus, and this is the opinion of two editors, which is still not a consensus. I think you should start an RfC or neutrally worded discussion to get a consensus instead of instructing users not to use it before there is one. Thanks. Ss112 20:46, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

@Ss112: Just because there's a template for it doesn't mean it's good to use as a source. Discogs and YouTube, for starters. I've also encountered a few discrepancies with Zobbel's chart placements: Zobbel says "Who Let the Dogs Out" was the best-selling single of 2000 when numerous other sources list "Can We Fix It?" as the year's best-selling single. To summarize, I don't trust that site, full stop. FYI, I've tried lobbying for multiple decisions in the past but have gotten absolutely nowhere. I'm not too eager to be ignored again, so I'd rather just let someone else take care of it. ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 21:12, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Are the templates for Discogs and YouTube you're referring to not the external link templates for them? In regards to the external link templates for those sites, I think it's fine to link to Discogs as a general guide, but not as a citation (as it's user-generated), and links to YouTube videos from official channels are okay in moderation (for example, as a link to a music video to cite its views). I agree that there are some discrepancies, but every database has them. That does seem like a particularly glaring one, though. Tobias or whatever his name is obviously got that one wrong. I've read there apparently are discrepancies between Zobbel's 101–200 figures and whichever other available source there is (I'm not too familiar) from the 1990s, but I'm not sure how widespread the issue is. Either way, the 101–200 of the UK charts isn't an issue anymore as it was discontinued, and Zobbel only extended himself the other way to 1994. Ss112 21:25, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

@Ss112: There are still inconsistencies for song that charted within the top 100 that the OCC has archives of. On this page, scroll down to Matchbox 20's entry. Zobbel lists the peak of "Real World" as 119, but OCC says it reached number 92 on the same chart week (31 October 1998). Considering all the other peaks for the band match on both sources, something's not right. ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 21:54, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Noted. Will bear its glaring errors in mind going forward, but either way, I haven't cited it very often. Anyway, I wanted to ask, do you often come across song or album articles with a "Year-end charts" heading but not a (matching) "Weekly charts" heading? Not that it's their responsibility to fix whatever else, but I just raised it with HumanxAnthro as I saw they were adding year-end chart positions with that heading but not weekly charts headings for the existing peaks listed on the articles, and said it would be helpful if they could add the weekly charts one too. Do you already do this if you come across examples? Ss112 01:52, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

@Ss112: Are you talking about something like what's on "Paradise" where Canada doesn't have a weekly chart for Kaci's version? If so, I've seen that sometimes, particularly recently with Canada. I sometimes add year-end charts if I can't find a weekly chart. "Shadow of the Day" for example, where I added the year-end Eurochart position but couldn't find a weekly peak since the physical issues of Billboard published only the top 15 songs at the time. I didn't check any online archives since I didn't know what the three-letter code for the Eurochart was. I've also added Venezuelan year-end charts for 2005, but I'm unsure if any weekly charts exist for that year. My point is that I try to search for weekly charts if I can. In the case with "Paradise", Kaci's Billboard page doesn't have a Canadian Singles Chart entry, so I'm not sure if a peak can be found unless an archive somehow saved one. ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 02:27, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Oh no, I meant strictly the headings, not the actual charts. Like when there are weekly charts listed and somebody has come along and added a year-end chart table under a sub-heading in the charts section (like so), but the pre-existing weekly charts table doesn't have its own subheading. I meant if you notice(d) this, do you then add a subheading for the weekly charts table (like so)? Ss112 02:39, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

@Ss112: Ah, thanks for the clarification. Yes, I've seen that, and I add a missing header if I come across one, but that hasn't happened a lot since about 80% of the articles they've visited already have year-end charts. I think I've encountered only five of these, give or take. ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 02:57, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

If you get some time, you might want to check HumanxAnthro's recent edits to find some more. I've already added a few where I've noticed it. Also, first time I've seen the heading "Commercial performance statistics"... Ss112 03:04, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

it is not my responsibility to add citations to information you add. It's your responsibility to find better sources. ResPM (T🔈🎵C
