Jean Shepard

Thank you so much for finishing Jean Shepard's singles chart. I knew she had more hit singles, but I couldn't find any of them. Thank you or taking the time to fix that. Would you be able to that for Jan Howard's article too? LovePatsyCline 19:31, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for doing the same thing to Jan Howard's article! I really appreciate it. Would you mind telling me how found these chart positions? Also, if it's not too much trouble, would you be albe to do the same thing to Goldie Hill's singles chart? Thank you so much!! LovePatsyCline 16:09, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I believe that you have covered Goldie Hill's singles chart because she only charted 5 times during her career. I get my information from Joel Whitburn's Billboard Country Singles 1944-2005 book plus and an older book of his that covers the pop positions of where the country singles charted. Thanks for the kind words, and you are so welcome. I enjoy doing my part in this. How about a discography on Barbara Fairchild? I posted a biography of hers on here. BravesFan2006

New Response

Thanks for responding back to me. I also enjoy making Country Music articles, as well as making singles charts. Thanks for telling me where you get that information for them. I need to get that book! I get my information from "All Music Guide.com", which doesn't offer a oot of information on some artists. I know I constantly bother you about singles charts, but this is the last time I will ask you. The popular Country singer from the late 70s and early 80s, named Margo Smith is missing a great deal of singles from her chart. Do you mind adding the rest of her singles to Margo Smith's singles chart? I have already added five entires to her singles chart, but there is a lot more that need to go in there, that I can't find. I will definitley make a discography for Barbara Fairchild! Again, thanks for responding!LovePatsyCline 16:01, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

New Response

Thanks for the kind words. I have posted the singles of Margo Smith on here plus the albums they came from after I saw your message. No, you're not bothering me, actually I'm enjoying this as I'm a fan of classic country music and have been for years. How did you like the biography I wrote about Barbara Fairchild? I made sure that I knew much about her life and her singles and the later years. If you are going to make her discography, make sure to add the U.S. Pop 100 on there, plus the albums in which she had the hits. She made plenty of singles and albums. Again thanks for the kind words. Be hearing from you again. BravesFan2006 00:48, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Great Work!

Thank you so much for finishing Margo Smith's singles chart. I have been wanting to finish it for months. I'm glad I'm not bothering you, I just thought that I was bothering you and taking time away from other articles you would want to fix or work on. You did a great job on the Barbara Fairchild article. You wrote a great deal of stuff about her. If I find anymore information on her biography, I will be sure to add it to your already-made biography on her. I am currently working on her singles chart. I am also adding a musical artist box to her article. I willadd the U.S. Pop 100 to her singles chart, as you said. I will hear from you agin I'm sure. You have no idea how happy you made me that you added more singles to all of these Country singers' charts. Thank you! LovePatsyCline 18:32, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Barbara Fairchild's discography is finished. LovePatsyCline 19:27, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for putting Barbara's discography up and adding some to her biography. I even put up a couple more singles and an album that she did. Again, thanks for doing an excellent job. BravesFan2006 02:51, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I am almost finished with Margo Smith's article, except, I am missing some chart numbers for some of her albums. There is only a couple more chart numbers needed. Do you mind adding the rest of her album chart numbers. LovePatsyCline 21:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Margie Singleton

Could you add more charted singles by Margie Singleton? She only has a couple. Also, could you make a singles chart for Kaye Adams? Thanks! LovePatsyCline 00:32, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I just finished Margie Singleton's discography and the only single that Kaye Adams charted with was "Little Pink Mack" which went to #30 in 1966. There is a request I have for you and that is a discography of Billie Jo Spears and do some updating on her biography like when she recorded a song as a teenager called "Too Young For Boys, Too Old For Toys" plus her first recordings for United Artists in 1964. I would appreciate that a lot. Thanks again! BravesFan2006 02:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I will work on the Billie Jo Spears article (including her singles chart and biography that you requested) after I create an article for Janis Martin. When I'm done with Martin's biography, I will probably need a singles chart for Martin's page, being I can't find any information on her. Thanks! LovePatsyCline 22:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Can you add the rest of Janis Martin's singles if you have information on them available. I'm currently working on Billie Jo Spears singles chart.

I don't know very much about Janis Martin, because there isn't a single chart for her in the Billboard Country Singles book. BravesFan2006 00:40, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me about Janis Martin. It's a shame it's not in your book. I really enjoyed working on Billie Jo Spears' article. I found her #1 hit song "Blanket On the Ground" in the iTunes store and really enhjoy listening to it. LovePatsyCline 14:45, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Carl Smith

Do you mind finishing my singles chart for Carl Smith? There are many singles missing, and I would realy appreciate if you finished them for me. Thanks! LovePatsyCline 18:14, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Bonnie Guitar

Thanks for adding the rest of the singles chart to the Carl Smith page. Could add more singles to the Bonnie Guitar singles chart, including her last charting single in 1980 called "Honey On the Moon". Thanks! LovePatsyCline 17:30, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Deborah Allen

I really thank you for making singles charts for Carl Smith and Bonnie Guitar, two very important figures in Country Music. I have another singles chart you can finish. Country-Pop singer, Deborah Allen is missing a couple charted singles from her singles chart. Could you add the needed singles to her singles chart. Thank you! LovePatsyCline 22:28, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for finishing the singles chart for Deborah Allen. You always do a great job. I just noticed though, that Melba Montgomery is missing a lot of charted singles from her singles chart. Could you finish her singles chart for me? Again, thanks for all you help. LovePatsyCline 23:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Once again, thanks for finishing the singles chart. If there are any more charted singles by Mleba Montgomery in the 60s & 70s, including her last charted single, could add them? Thank you.LovePatsyCline 19:48, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Jody Miller

Why did they put in a person that is a personal name of somebody someone knows when they took out the country singer Jody Miller out of the system?

BravesFan2006 11:27, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Response About Jody Miller

Sorry about not responding to your previous question. Next time, you should talk to me about this on may talk page so I get the message right away. I can't imagine why someone did that with Jody Miller, obviously, they have no idea what they are doing, and they should realize they can't just leave it like that. I will take a look at the page again and fix what they did wrong. Must be somebody new to Wikpedia.

Could add the rest of Jessi Colter's charted singles to her singles chart, including her last charted single as a solo artist. Thank you! LovePatsyCline 21:05, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Already finished Jessi Colter's discography

I have already finished Jessi's discography with her last charted song (so far) "Holdin' On" reaching number 70 in 1982. I enjoy doing this. BravesFan2006 23:25, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Request for Jody Miller's discography

I would like to see Jody Miller's discography with her pop hits included. Thanks. BravesFan2006 23:28, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Response

Tomorrow, I am planning on working on Jody Miller's dicography page (May 22). Sorry about not messaging back to you, I've been quite busy. If you are able to, could you make a complete listing of charted singles by Country singer, Ava Barber, who had her biggest hit with "Bucket to the South" in 1978. Thanks! LovePatsyCline 22:35, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Half Done

Jody Miller's singles chart is done. I'm now working on her albums chart. LovePatsyCline 20:37, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Judy Rodman

Could you finish the singles chart for Judy Rodman for me? I only have one song on there, which went to #1 called "Until I Met You". Could also include Rodman's last charted single as well? Thanks a million! LovePatsyCline 22:19, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Question

You seem pretty well versed in country music, so you might know this one -- do you happen to know the last name of songwriter Kostas? (He wrote "Timber, I'm Falling in Love" and "Blame It on Your Heart".) I've been trying to search, but to no avail seeing as Kostas is a VERY common name. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 13:12, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

About Kostas

TenPoundHammer, I think that Kostas is an abbreviated form of his last name. He is of Greek origin and I think his last name is something like Kostapolius or something close to it. Don't know about what his first name is. BravesFan2006 20:05, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I Have a Question

Looking through articles of female Country singers and their history, I have noticed you have contributed to their singles charts over the past number of months. I was wondering that if you could be so kind as to add some singles I can not find anywhere for Kitty Wells' singles chart. I need singles between the years of 1953 and 1955. That would be very helpful if you could do such a thing. If you feel really inclined you can add some other singles that I also can't find from the late 60s and early 70s. It would be greatly appreciated if you would do so. Thank you. Dottiewest1fan 14:20, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

New Response To Rascal Flatts

The new album "Still Feels Good" topped both the country and Pop 200 this week and they said so as early as Monday and was announced on a radio station in San Antonio as they read this from Hit Predictor (a music website). Also check out today's Billboard online when they update this morning (Wednesday) for official confirmation [www.billboard.com] BravesFan2006 07:20 CST, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Cristy Lane, Jeannie Seely

I knwo it has been since August last time I spoke to you, but thank you for adding those important singles to Kitty Wellss article. I am wondering if you could finish the singles charts for both Cristy Lane and Jeannie Seely. Many singles are missing from both their singles charts, and I have no idea where they can be found. Do you mind adding them? Dottiewest1fan 21:33, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Things That Never Cross a Man's Mind

Kellie Pickler's song is at #33 this week at Billboard (November 24th chart) not #39 (November 17th's chart position). Also this did NOT come from Mediabase. Thank you. BravesFan2006 12:39 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Chart positions and sources

Thanks for all your hard work on song articles, but please note that HitPredictor is not the same as the final, weekly Billboard or Radio & Records charts. Please wait for the charts to be published before updating positions, as there needs to be a reliable source. Thanks! - eo (talk) 20:33, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Again, please do not update charts positions based on HitPredictor, as you did here - the most recently published chart at Billboard (dated 11/24) has the song at number 8. Please wait for charts to be published and confirmed before adding unsourced info. Thanks. - eo (talk) 20:44, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree with EO here. Please try not to use Hit Predictor from now on, as it's not always spot-on -- it's all right to wait until Wednesday when the full chart's posed on R&R's website. You can still use the R&R weekly chart highlights section, however. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 20:50, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks BF2006 and TPH - yes, I realize Hit Predictor and Billboard/R&R are related, however, they still aren't the final, published chart so we need to just hang on a couple extra days til everything is confirmed. - eo (talk) 20:56, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Guess I'll just let you guys (Eric and TenPoundHammer) do the official chart numbers yourselves from now on since there is going to be trouble over it. Thanks. - BravesFan2006 (talk) 21:07, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Loretta Lynn

I never got to thank you for making the singles for Kitty Wells, so now I'd like to say thank you. I have another thing you can do. Loretta Lynn is missing a couple of singles that I think charted from her early years, like "Whispering Sea" from her days at Zero records and others from that time. Also after 1985's "Heart Don't Do This to Me", could you also finish the singles there, because I think there are a lot also missing there that charted outside the Top 40. All you have to do is add them to her singles chart by going to her new, Loretta Lynn discography page I created. I would really appreciate your help in finishing this. Thank you (Dottiewest1fan 23:40, 2 December 2007 (UTC))

Bill Anderson singles missing

Hi again, I have a problem with Bill Anderson's page. He has a lot of singles that I know definitley charted, that are missing, from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Could you add all of them. They are really important to his article. I am working on his article right know because it is an absoulute mess. Thank you and happy holidays! Dottiewest1fan (talk) 18:24, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Kippi Brannon

I just created an article on Kippi Brannon. I know you get asked this a lot, but could you please do me a favor and verify the peak positions for her singles?

Finished doing the discography of Kippi Brannon and included the chart positions of her first 3 chart singles in 1981-1982. The songs that charted in 1997 are exactly right. BravesFan2006 10:51 CST, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Do You know the chart positions of her singles, including 1951's "Satisfied" (which crossed over into the Pop charts, so I hear).

With regards to the edit you did in the article relating to Last Name, I want to clarify to you why I've changed your edits. The single hasn't been offically released and hence, has not charted on the Billboard Country Music charts. Also, while it has peaked #46 on the Radio and Records charts, it isn't an offical charting, so I've just added a side note to it. Leave a message on my talk page if you want to discuss this further. Cheers. σмgнgσмg^(talk) 11:23, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Life in a Northern Town

As far as I can tell, Life in a Northern Town isn't a single for Sugarland, just a video. The song features Little Big Town and Jake Owen, both of whom are on different labels than Sugarland, and I just can't imagine three different labels banding together for one single -- especially not if it's two majors and an indie. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 20:47, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Unless the single version will be a different version that features Jennifer and Kristian and background singers than the one in the video that has Little Big Town and Jake Owen. On Mediabase (which has the single at #60 today (Friday)), it lists only Sugarland and not Sugarland featuring Little Big Town and Jake Owen. We will have to wait until Monday and see if Life in a Northern Town debuts on the 3/28/2008 weekly country chart highlights before we can list it. Has anyone heard this song on the radio? BravesFan2006 talk 04:49, CDT, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Given that Life in a Northern Town is available on iTunes, I suppose that it could just be getting unsupported airplay. That's the most likely case, considering that all three acts are getting billed. Like I said before, I can't imagine three different labels wanting to split artist credits three ways. If it does get enough airplay to reach Top 40 in a few weeks, I suppose they could bill it to Sugarland and Friends, just like the case with Jimmy Buffett and all those other guys on "Hey Good Lookin'".

Timbaland

Please don't add to trivia sections. They detract from the quality from an article, and any verifiable information in them should be included in the article text itself, not lumped into a trivia section. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 20:27, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

A question: How can I put it in words about Weezer's mention of Timbaland in their song "Pork and Beans" without a trivia section? The song has in its lyrics "Timbaland knows the way to reach the top of the charts." I can't lump it in anywhere else, probably wouldn't make any sense by doing it in a personal article. ^{Braves Fan 2006 (BravesFan2006)} 03:38 PM., 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I'd say don't add it at all. The fact that artist X mentioned artist Y in a song is just trivia, and very unlikely to be verified, even if it is a compliment in song like that. Ray Scott name-dropped a bunch of artists in "My Kind of Music", and similarly, there's no need to mention the name-dropping in any article. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 04:56, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

re: Weezer

My issue is that we are attributing a number-one position to the song according to Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks, yet the very source we should be using hasn't published their May 17 chart. If one were to go to Billboard's website, "Pork and Beans" is #3. [2] If one were to go to Radio & Records site, "Pork & Beans" is #3. [3] Sometimes Billboard will announce the #1's on some of their charts a day early, which is great, but I think that if this encyclopedia states "this song is #1 in Billboard" then it should be backed up with a Billboard source with the corresponding issue date, rather than a weekly highlights article in Radio & Records. - eo (talk) 19:25, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough. Can I post on Wednesday afternoon when the Radio and Records Alternative charts come out because the Radio and Records Alternative charts are the same thing as the Billboard Modern Rock Track Charts because Radio and Records and Billboard are one and the same chart now and has been since 2005? Thanks.- BravesFan2006 (talk) 2:36 PM, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Sure, I don't see a problem with that. I think maybe what should be worked on/explained further is the real connection with Billboard and R&R.... I mean, in terms of the casual reader who may not be familiar with them and how they are now basically the same thing. I'll check out the articles for both publications to see how things are worded. I think one of the most frustrating things they do is publish several of the radio charts earlier in R&R, complete with different issue dates, then the same stuff appears nearly a week later in Billboard... yet in general people reference Billboard when talking about charts, not R&R. Anyhoo, succession boxes are real easy, I can help you with that, or you can just copy/paste an already-existing one from a different article then just substitute in all the titles, artists and dates. - eo (talk) 19:56, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Trisha Yearwood

I'm sorry to bother (I know you hate it), but do you know if Trisha Yearwood's song, "This Is Me You're Talking To" is still a current single on the Billboard Country Chart or is it not? When I looked on [[[Radio & Records]] today, there were was no circle around her number (#25), however, on her discography, the current single letter is still next to the song. Could you possible verify this for me? Again, sorry to bother you. Dottiewest1fan (talk) 19:52, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

No bother whatsoever. I think Trisha's song This Is Me You're Talking To is still pretty much active since it hasn't shown any sign of negative positions in Mediabase which means it is still her current single. It has been hovering around 25 and 26 for at least 2 months now. BravesFan2006 (talk) 22:00, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh that's good, I thought you were bothered by my comments. At least the song is still active, I'm actually hoping the song will manage to hit the Top 20, but after being between #25 and #26 for the past 2 months, I'm not so sure anymore. I really hope it peaks at least a little higher on the charts, possibly. Thank you for the information. Can I come to you if I have anymore problems? Dottiewest1fan (talk) 23:28, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Did you add the Jean Shepard singles yet, or is that all of them that's on the chart, cause I do know "Forgive Me John" was a hit, but don't know. If you really don't want to do it, it's okay, I'll ask someone else, it's no problem, really. Dottiewest1fan (talk) 23:22, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

This is great, thank you so much! I won't ask you again. Dottiewest1fan (talk) 01:17, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Rebecca Lynn Howard

Do you know where Rebecca Lynn Howard's No Rules album debuted on the Billboard Top Country Albums and or Billboard 200. Did it yet or it failed to even chart? Dottiewest1fan (talk) 21:46, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I looked at Billboard.com online and they only show 25 albums of the country albums charts and 100 albums on the Top 200 and I didn't see Rebecca Lynn Howard's name listed on either one so she probably made the charts on a lower level and possibly didn't make the Top 200. I don't have a subscription to Billboard magazine so I can only get the 1 to 25 and 1 to 100 numbers on there only online. I don't know when AllMusic Guide brings their charts up to date but I might check there and see what positions she debuted at. BravesFan2006 (talk) 06:27 CDT, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok thank you very much, i will check at All Music too. Thanks for your help! Dottiewest1fan (talk) 20:22, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

2008 in country music

Regarding this edit — I delinked some of the names for a reason. There were too many links to each artist, per WP:OVERLINK. I see no reason to link the artists' names more than once per section, so I removed the excess links. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Chirps•Clams•Chowder)} 00:31, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Darius Rucker and The Lost Trailers

I wanted to know what Billboard chart positions that Darius Rucker's "Don't Think I Don't Think About It" and The Lost Trailers' "Holler Back" are in the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of July 26, 2008. I was looking at their discographies on Billboard.com but both of these songs aren't on there. BravesFan2006 (talk) 03:39 PM, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Never mind, the Billboard radio charts website came back up. BravesFan2006 08:10 PM, 17 July 2008

Heidi Newfield

Is "Johnny & June" done on the charts? According to a user, it is, but I want to be sure by you, as you are more experienced than I am. Dottiewest1fan (talk) 19:39, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Since it moved up two spots to number 11 and didn't show a bullet on Billboard/Radio and Records, I would wait until next week to see if the song goes recurrent or see what kind of move it makes, otherwise it is still a current single. If next week it goes recurrent or the number of spins is on the minus side, then it is not a current single. I might have to look at allaccess.com to see how the song is doing whether or not it has a minus or plus in spins. BravesFan2006 (talk} 5:04 CDT, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I checked on allaccess.com and "Johnny & June" is up in spins by 157 spins and it is at #11 on there. So it is basically still a current single. BravesFan2006 (talk) 5:12 CDT, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Ok, so that user was wrong, I knew it was current. I'm glad you changed it, thank you. Dottiewest1fan (talk) 23:47, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Chart info

Wondering where your source is for the Black Eyed Peas' 10th week at #1? I see no confirmation or news stories on Billboard's websites stating this. Also, since R&R is now closed, where are you getting the updates for country and adult contemporary if these charts have not yet been published by Billboard? - eo (talk) 20:33, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi. They updated the website on the R & R boards in which all of the charts are now showing the 6/12 chart positions which will show up on tomorrow's 6/20 Billboard Hot 100. I read on the Yahoo Chart Beat where they were talking about The Blackeyed Peas' Boom Boom Pow spending its 10th week on the Billboard Hot 100 - User:BravesFan2006 (talk) 21:02, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

I was very surprised and shocked when I saw that the country charts and the other charts including the Canadian charts were updated to the 6/12/2009 issue which would be the 6/20/2009 Billboard charts - http://cclamp.radioandrecords.com/RRWebsite20 User:BravesFan2006 (talk) 21:17, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Please use the preview button to avoid mistakes and keep from making 10 edits in a row. Your main problem was that you set EVERY field to a 40 pixel width; only the chart position field needs that width. Also, please use an em-dash instead of three dashes.

Addition of chart positions

Hi, you can only add new information to articles if you have reliable sources backing it up. "The House That Built Me" was, for example, not #15 since you listed it as such on Monday, because Billboard has not listed it as #15 until the chart comes out. You probably looked at the Pulse music board chart projection or some other airplay thing, but that doesn't make your premature edits correct. Please contribute constructively. Thank you.

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to 2010 in country music. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Nowyouseemetalk2me 03:30, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits.
The next time you violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article, as you did to Sara Evans discography, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. What the hell man? Your still not adding references...STOP ADDING CHART POSITIONS WITHOUT A SOURCE! Especially the Bubbling Under chart since it CANNOT be verified after 2008. I don't know how many times people have to tell you this. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (contributions) • (let's chat) 00:34, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

In reference to the Bubbling Under chart positions

Hi. I chimed in after seeing this mentioned at the new thread at AN/I. This is what is looked like when I left this message. It appears that some other editors are pretty frustrated, and it may be that you are too. The one issue that they had that made sense to me is that other editors don't know how you obtain the Bubbling Undeer chart positions. Do you have access to the charts when they get published weekly? Do you know of a way that another editor would be able to confirm the positions on the chart? I think that would help calm things down. Please reply here when you get a chance. Thanks. Xymmax ^{So let it be written} _{So let it be done} 20:37, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

There also has been discussion about my message to you on my talk page. Xymmax ^{So let it be written} _{So let it be done} 12:14, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

You're going to have to start communicating with other editors

As you can see from below, another admin already blocked you once for a brief period of time. Continuing the same actions without discussing things at all will probably get you blocked again, and perhaps for a longer period. I note that it looks like your last post a user's talk page (including your own!) was December, 2009, and you only have four posts to article talk pages since 2008. Given the number of people trying to speak with you, that's not good enough. This a collaborative project, and you need to make some attempt to address the reasonable concerns of others. I'd really like you address the issues above about the sourcing. Thanks! Xymmax ^{So let it be written} _{So let it be done} 15:35, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Blocked

I have blocked you. If you feel this is unjustified please appeal using {{Unblock|Your reason here}}. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 19:38, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

• Lovely. You're blocked for adding unsourced content, and what's the first thing you do after your unblock? ADD MORE UNSOURCED CONTENT. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 15:11, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

• I've blocked you again; same reason. This time it will last a week, because you'd already been blocked once and you instantly repeated the actions that led to your first block. They will continue getting longer if you carry on like this. As before, you can appeal using {{Unblock|Your reason here}}. Blood Red Sandman ^{(Talk) (Contribs)} 16:43, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Look here. I'm tired of the Gestapo running things around here and your blocking me proves it and I have a feeling that TenPoundHammer is a part of the problem. The Bubbling Under Hot 100 charts came from the Pulse Music Board which someone puts up every Thursday. Not everyone has $500 a year to spend on Billboard magazine either. I feel that your blocking me from editing anything on here is very unfair and borders on censorship. I've enjoyed editing the Country chart as well as the Hot 100 and Canadian Hot 100 for the past couple of years and if you or anyone else don't like it then that's fine but this is not Nazi Germany this is the United States. If you guys have a problem with me, that's fine, but this board is for everyone and not for someone or something that does battle every time someone wants to gripe about something. ^{(BravesFan2006} 17:34, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

You didn't even acknowledge the problem/reason why you're blocked - not sourcing your content correctly/adding unverifiable content. Nowyouseemetalk2me 19:47, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

You let TenPoundHammer and everyone else on this page get by with virtually everything on here. I didn't think I did anything wrong but the Gestapo on here suggests otherwise. I didn't know that there was supposed to be a "vertified source" to everything we do or say around here or we had to give the websites each and everytime we did something. Again, the blocking is unfair and I didn't think I was doing anything wrong. I don't know whether there a clique going on where only certain people can edit or not but if there is I would like to know. ^{(BravesFan2006} 17:51, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

This blocking is justified - I first warned you 1 month and 8 days ago that all content you add must be sourced and verifiable, and subsequently you've been warned half a dozen more times, but yet you continue to add unsourced content. You have had fair warning and notification of this policy, yet you continue to disregard it and do as you please. Nowyouseemetalk2me 20:00, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

But you and TenPoundHammer can do whatever you please? Trying to be superior over each other? Is that it? I rest my case about both of you. ^{(BravesFan2006} 20:04, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Everyone on here is free to do as they please as long as their actions conform to Wikipedia policy. Nowyouseemetalk2me 20:08, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. Your contributions are welcome, but they need to conform to policy. Furthermore, I believe that you're operating from more than one account. I don't want to have to permanently block you for sockpuppetry, so when the blocks lift, kindly use either one account or the other. Your edits are clearly in good faith, but please cite your sources and please be a bit more civil when answering the concerns of others. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 20:14, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Request reason:

Because I didn't think I did anything wrong and I feel that it was unfair that I was the only person targeted when there have been plenty of people who have done this and yet they still have accounts

Decline reason:

Your use of words like 'Gestapo' to describe other editors is a distasteful violation of No Personal Attacks. I'd be reluctant to unblock anyone who was in the process of personally attacking other users anyway; the fact that you haven't addressed the reason for your block- the addition of unsourced information- or indicated that you have any plan for editing differently in the future makes an unblock doubly inappropriate. Reading your comments regarding your block, it isn't clear whether you even understand Wikipedia's reliable source guidelines. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:34, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

• When have I added unsourced content? I'm the one who's going around and adding references to the Whitburn book everywhere. You, however, are using a forum, which is not under the sources. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 21:25, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

• TenPoundHammer, I believe that you and others have done your share doing edits that were wrong by using forums as well

but you can't confirm it or deny it, can you? I didn't know that my editing was becoming a mess around here because someone or something is getting their nerve up about it and proceed to block me on account of it. BravesFan2006 21:33, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

• When did I ever use Pulse boards as a source? Prove it. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 21:36, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

• TenPoundHammer, it doesn't have to be the Pulse Music Boards that you get YOUR unresourced information from, it can be from anywhere on the computer, and your targeting me about it when you and others on here have done the same thing is very unfair. I don't know exactly what your problem is with me but I don't like it when someone accuses me of something that others on here have done themselves and virtually gets a slap on the wrist for it. This is not high school here. BravesFan2006 21:48, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Uhm.. I can easily prove that I don't use forums or add unsourced information.. just look at the sources. Nowyouseemetalk2me 21:51, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

• Nowyouseeme, of course you can't confirm or deny what you and TenPoundHammer do with your unresourced information and put it on Wikipedia because it's done all the time by you and others. Oh well, can't argue with unreasonable people that's all I can say. BravesFan2006 22:05, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Everything that I add to Wikipedia is sourced - you can easily see that by looking at my edit history - and if you click on the references you can see that they are not forums. It's black and white, I don't know how to explain it simpler than that. Nowyouseemetalk2me 22:13, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

• Nowyouseeme and TenPoundHammer, I think that we agree to disagree on this one. You guys win on everything. I'm leaving Wikipedia since you two have decided to bring superiority to everything on here and chasing away people. You two have fun finding the next person to do your do with.

Request reason:

I understand about the edits that I made due to the fact that they are clearly verified on the computer via Billboard or a subscription to Billboard. Everyone on here uses unresourced material. Sometimes they get away with it and sometimes they don't. Now I want to address about the constant harassment made by TenPoundHammer and NowYouSeeMe towards me on account that I made them feel jealous because they can't do their thing. They do this often and it still goes on and on and on. I still think it's unfair since TenPoundHammer and NowYouSeeMe do what they want to and don't get blocked. They won't deny it but they also have used unresourced material in the past. I thought that you were supposed to enjoy Wikipedia but apparently I was wrong. TPH and NYSM think they own this part of the board where it actually belongs to everyone.

Decline reason:

Please read Guide to appealing blocks. Your unblock request did everything wrong - your explanation about "everyone else does it so it's OK" and your speech about other editors rings utterly hollow. In terms of unblock, we care about your actions. If you wish to address other editors' actions, you can do that at WP:ANI after your unblock (although I caution you of WP:BOOMERANG.

On a side note unrelated to the decline, you already lost the debate. Magog the Ogre (talk) 01:29, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

It sounds like you still think it's okay to add unsourced information. That's a shame, because blocks escalate in length- the next time, your block will probably be two weeks, or maybe even a month. I've seen lots of people keep breaking the same rule over and over until they were indefinitely blocked. But I've also seen people change their minds, stop breaking the rule, and work happily together with users they once resented and disliked. It's a beautiful thing, freedom of choice. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 02:49, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Or like TenPoundHammer and NowYouSeeMe, they will continue to harass even if you do things right. It's like they dare you to post something and they start jumping on you or post messages constantly until they force you to leave which is what they do. Nobody on here is running a competition like American Idol or is it just one big clique on here where people are getting chased off because they want you to leave and it will continue if I stay on and another person will be a target of harassment by TPH and NYSM. People who harass don't get any points with me. But don't worry about me coming back to Wikipedia because I won't be back. BravesFan2006 (talk 03:18, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Please do not make false, defamatory accusations towards me. Nowyouseemetalk2me 04:50, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

And now I've revoked your talk page access. You've played WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT long enough, and your personal attacks will not continue. I warn you right now, when you return, you are welcome to edit constructively, but if you do not immediately change course and open up to constructive criticism, you will be indefinitely blocked. Magog the Ogre (talk) 05:21, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

• I've increased the block length. You've tried to evade your block, attacked anyone and everyone on this page, soapboxed, told us what you did was 'alright because everyone else does it' and relied heavily on WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT... and all within a day or so of being blocked.
