Hi Ben. The ARIA chart technically goes to 4000 now (I kid you not!), though only the top 100 are formally published. Peaks for Australian releases that do not make the top 100 but do make the top 4000 (not a difficult feat), are available by contacting ARIA directly. This is where I obtained peaks for Flowers and Singles of the 90's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blondofborg (talk • contribs) 03:00, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't have the original album's release date, except for Europe. Could you look up more information about the debut, "original" album? There still isn't really much on there. Waiting For Magic is also different from the US version. You look like an expert. Thanks. 68.82.82.248 (talk) 01:31, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello AcerBen ! Yes, I'll add the tracklistings, but not for the time being, because I want first to finish other articles on Mylène Farmer. But I'll add them. PS : Sorry, my English is not very good, it is not my native language ! ;-) Regards, Europe22 (talk) 23:10, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Is this the "real" Dustin in the pic? If so what was he doing in a London nightclub? (And what is a "real" Dustin anyway?...) eman (talk) 14:25, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it's the one and only Dustin The Turkey. It was the official UK Eurovision Preview Party in Scala last weekend.

AcerBen (talk) 10:55, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great!

Is there a special reason why you uploaded it to here, and not to Wikimedia Commons? That way I will be able to use it in the Hebrew Wikipeida entry about Dustin instead of the "fair use" pic I put there before, and will be able to use it in my user page too (which I couldn't do with a fair use pic). If it is a bother I can move it there myself, but it is better that you will do it

And how was he? Was he preforming there with his song? Did the crowd like him?

eman (talk) 01:08, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know what Wikimedia Commons was. I've uploaded it there now http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Dustin.jpg

He didn't perform the song, he just had a little chat with the host. He got a few boos from the audience. AcerBen (talk) 12:05, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, thank you for producing the two tables you have. These tables have improved the quality of the article, and that contribution is greatly appreciated.

On Sash!'s official website, [1], chart positions singles and albums gained in Austria, Switzerland, France, Sweden, Finland, Australia, the Netherlands, and Spain, are also listed (they can be found by clicking the 'Discography' button that appears near the top of Sash!'s official wesbite). I do not know how to do the tables you have, and I was wondering if you would be ok with completing the table with the information that is on Sash!'s official website? If you are ok with this, thank you very much in advance, and I will ensure your contributions are recognised.EasyPeasy21 (talk) 21:25, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if it's really worth doing in this case... most of the chart positions are actually pretty low and it doesn't really do them any favours. It can also look very messy and meaningless if you add too many countries. I prefer just to put English speaking countries (since this is the English Wikipedia) and other major territories where the act was particularly successful.. usually the one they come from! AcerBen (talk) 22:23, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AcerBen, thank you for responding promptly to my request. I understand the reasoning behind your points. However, I would like to direct you to the following:

• Gwen Stefani discography
• James Blunt discography
• The Prodigy discography

In these three articles, which are FA-class, the discography lists many countries other than the US and the UK. I can accept if you are thinking that an article which focuses purely on a discography can have many countries listed, whereas an article focusing on a group as a whole should not. However, Sash! doesn't seem noteworthy enough to have an entirely new article devoted to its discography. As a result, I believe the discography should be completed on its main article. If you are still hesitant about adding more countries because you believe that only countries in which singles/albums were successful should be added, then I would like to say that Wikipedia is an environment in which as much information as practically possible should be displayed, as opposed to displaying only information which suggests a group has been successful.

If you still do not want to complete the discography, then I would like to ask if you could provide me with a link to the source from which you gained the positions for Sash!'s singles/albums in Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play. Thank you in advance. EasyPeasy21 (talk) 19:56, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I find discographies that have a dozen countries in a chart a bit information overload. I think it'd be better if you started individual pages for all the singles then put all the information on there. I found the Billboard info here: http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/retrieve_chart_history.do?model.vnuArtistId=195751&model.vnuAlbumId=560528 AcerBen (talk) 10:40, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for providing a link to the source. I agree that a chart table with as many countries as possible should be included in articles regarding Sash!'s singles and albums. Thanks for having this discussion with me, and thank you for your contributions to the Sash! article.EasyPeasy21 (talk) 15:24, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The chart is still compiled, but by Euro 200...and only the first ten positions are published. Go to [[2]] and at the lower region of the page you'll find Current European Union Charts Nationwide. Click it and you'll find the top10 at the bottom of that page. It's not much, but it's better than nothing. Alecsdaniel (talk) 19:27, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't, and I don't know how to contact the admin of the site or something. The bad news is that Euro 200 doesn't keep archives of the chart, so I'm uploading screenshots of the chart on a blog [3] but blogs aren't accepted on Wikipedia so it's like the chart doesn'e exist anymore :(.

The file File:Get Ready! (2 Unlimited album) UK coverart.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Using more than one album cover (merely to differentiate visual identifications) not compliant with WP:NFCC#3a. Also not sufficiently supported by critical commentary; fails WP:NFCC#8.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Vernon Kay, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Channel 5. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
