the choices are infinite. I will continue and try to emulate other examples. One might think that articles about Madonna have been thoroughly checked by her people so i will consider some of her examples. One last question: if you obtain permission from the person to use a photo, how do you proceed? Do you have to state how and when you did, and produce some proof? (I actually emailed the singer in question through her website, as she seems approachable given her relatively niche-d popularity. I haven't been discouraged yet and thank you for the kind support. --

79: 1219: 242:. I see what you mean about the rationales; I never do anything but hit that drop-down and fill in the summary with a link to the album article. Selecting "Album or single cover" from the drop-down gives you that {{albumcover}} template, which I think is totally sufficient. And you make it sound like you are not using the upload page with the drop-down list. What were you doing? Sorry if you have wasted some time; there is a 667: 604: 541: 1565: 1513: 1462: 986: 1582:.

The singles examples are great, however I am doing articles on semi-unknown singers so to find all the informatio is virtually impossible, so I wil try to find a standard scheme and stick

Yes, it's legit. I've seen it done in other articles as well. Primary sources are helpful for adding information, but not sufficient, I'm afraid, to demonstrate that a particular release meets that guideline. What we really need are magazines or book sources, and the difficulty there is finding such

However, if you don't have additional sourcing, there is an alternative that you might find more aesthetically pleasing. Since I last contributed to the article in October of 2007, I have learned how to "hide" tracklists, which you might find a neater solution. This is sometimes done for titles that

Images: I am sorry but there are so many pages on Images that I cannot make sense of all of them. I see several images used on lots of pages that would make some of my doubts disappear, however reading the rules, it makes me think lots of uses use images a bit too freely. Some singers or artits have

I'm sure they can find enough information that is not gossip. But again, I cannot imagine why this struggle for just a week's worth of time, when much more substantial info and professional reviews will be available. It's not like this is a page that is bound to remain a bunch of gossip forever for

Hi there and thanks for the prompt reply :) I have never seen something like it's been done for the Aguilera album. Is it legit here? That is an option, however owning all editions of these Anthologies I can easily add information about the single editions and eventually create articles of the same

Hi... thanks for your comment re the Sandra album. The second single info is based on the fact that her record comany (Virgin Germany) have mailed out promotional items for the second single. Should the second single not get a release, the info will not doubt be updated. As and when a 3rd single is

into it designed to change the subject of the article. I don't think it is anything to be concerned about as such. The person has done it twice, but appears to have now gone away now after I restored it. If you put some more, good quality content into the article, I think it even less likely for it

425:

Ah, I see. I think there is still some debate over the different Grace bands that were around. Was that the reason for this? Was is a wikipedia admin/mod decision to lose the "dance act" label? I think that not only does it fit better with what Perfecto's Grace was, but it would help substantially

256:

Hehe thanks, yes I know, but I can alraedy see that the more you try the faster you'll go towards reaching the top of that steep road. I have seen the drop-down box next to licensing now, it escaped me before, totally. It explains a lot of references that I was not able to find before. However now

223:

Thanks for the reply. When you say "drop-down", what do you mean? The only time I heard of drop-down was with drop-down boxes, where you select items from a list. Is that what you mean? Because you make your reply sound as though as if there is a complete template thing on here for album covers so

Yes I prefer to scan my own cds instead of borrowing etc, also I can be 100% sure that what I am tracklisting corresponds to the actul image I'm uploading etc. One thing that I cannot figure out how to add is the table of contents. It is invisbile and yet it's on the page, but now on the edit the

520:

well for the sake of content and quality of the article it could be expanded with explaining the promotional status of this single, I have seen many examples of how a case like this should be treated, I think it would read much better, but since I guess you created the article I'm not gonna butt

Because such articles are magnets for rumors and gossip, two things which do not belong in an encyclopedia. The problem is that editors that should know better persisted in undoing the redirect instead of adding the information to the Bionic article, which is where guidelines indicate that the

To avoid incurring in using images from the press I could stick to using pictures that are in the album artwork (and pictures found inside it) and stating the origins and adding tags. Do you consider my tag for the image LhfdKiani.jpg to be suitable for usage or is it likely to be deleted?

Hi Fisherjs and thanks for the message. I have many pages I would like to help expand and create, and I have some free time at work to do so ;). I surmounted the problem of creating layouts by freely copying existing articles and replacing the content, but this leaves me some problems:

Hi Fisherjs, one last thing. I have prepared scans of lots of singles and am creating articles and learning new things. Since to actually "get" the manual of style here it would take repeated readings, can you direct me to a perfect album or single page? THanks

so I think you should be OK using the image with lowercase jpg (All I ever do is select "Album or single cover" for the licensing and put "cover art for ]" for the summary). As for why some (famous) people don't have images...I'm not sure. Someone a while back
