Hello again. I decided to PROD the cover art (File:Amerie - I'm Coming Out promo single.jpg) for the promo release. Feel free to remove the tag if you object. Nevertheless, if you do not object, you can add {{db-g7}} if you wish as you did with some other images. George Ho (talk) 10:47, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
- @George Ho: Done. snapsnap (talk) 20:18, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
MØ
Hello! I've been asked by the MO community to help with her Wikipedia page. It seems that you are against a visible notation (not footnote) to show users where to find the correct audio pronunciation of her name. Is there anything I can do to meet your concerns? I am willing to work with you. Thanks! GainesvilleFlorida (talk) 04:01, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- @GainesvilleFlorida: Hi. Yes, my primary concern was another user's insistence to plaster the page's lead section with a video link instead of adding a footnote, as it should be. I see that you've provided a YouTube link to an iHeartRadio interview, which appears to be a much more valid source than some random video compilation uploaded by a fan account. snapsnap (talk) 19:41, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks! I was recruited by the fan club listserv to see what I could do to help. I agree with you that the previous video was hardly a worthy source which is why I sought out a video from a legitimate media source that has been in existence for over a decade. Still, I continue to look for an even more prominent mainstream source.
- Could you help me with one issue in the meantime? The "other user" you referred to has riled up the MO group -- the pronunciation of her name is a big issue with the group and they really want to have a obvious link in the section rather than a footnote. My revisions have been reverted by a BOT. Could you assist me with how to avoid that happening? Do you have any other suggestions for how to best present this info in a observable link rather than numbered footnote? Thanks! GainesvilleFlorida (talk) 02:12, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- @GainesvilleFlorida: I'm not really sure how I can help. Like I told the other user (to no avail), all information must be verified by footnotes on Wikipedia, so I don't really know what your idea of an "observable link" is. The best thing would be to discuss and seek consensus at the article's talk page before making any drastic changes, though I'm kind of over this particular issue, to be honest. snapsnap (talk) 20:02, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- I am rather new to Wikipedia. Not only has the page now been permanently locked, but the other user's YouTube video (the one both you and I think stinks) has been inserted into the locked page. I did ask that changes be discussed on the TALK page and provided my reasoning, but no response, just a revert and lock. I have no idea what the next step would be. GainesvilleFlorida (talk) 03:51, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
- @GainesvilleFlorida: Whenever your edits are disputed (like it was the case with Johnnycakes999), the appropriate thing to do is to cease your disputed edits and discuss the matter at the talk page in order to reach consesus (as per WP:BRD). When you, as a new editor, came in and made changes related to the very same issue that caused MØ's page to be protected in the first place, your edits could have been perceived as disruptive, even if those were made in good faith. You should have discussed at the talk page before making any edits. After the protection expires next month, you can try resuming the discussion at the talk page. snapsnap (talk) 16:34, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
Walk on Water
Hi User:SnapSnap, do you think I should add pop-rap and contemporary R&B to Walk on Water's infobox referencing these Refinery29 and SOHH sources? Also: do you know if The Music is a reliable source please? Theo (contribs) 20:24, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Theo Mandela: The pop-rap bit seems okay, but I don't think that "liv[ing] up to our R&B expectations" is precise enough to call the song R&B. That Australian website seems pretty reliable, though I'm not entirely sure. snapsnap (talk) 22:57, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for looking, I'll add pop-rap to "Walk on Water". Theo (contribs) 13:13, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
Hard Candy
Thanks for taking the time to look at film categories. I noticed you added a bunch of genre categories to Hard Candy (film). However, these were not supported by the sources in the article. Please remember that categories are supposed to be defining characteristics. Genres can be especially contentious because, most of the time, they're added based on original research. You can see some more at WP:FILMCAT if you're interested. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 09:20, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
Film posters
Hi. If you have a new image for a poster, you just need to simply upload it over the existing file, retaining the same file name. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 18:39, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Lugnuts: Yes, I know the drill. However, I've replaced the original JPG file with a PNG file, since PNG is a lossless format with better color retention, which is why uploading it over the existing file wasn't possible. snapsnap (talk) 19:33, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
Barking
Hi SnapSnap, can you add Barking (Ramz song) cover art to the article please? Also: Can the article name be changed to Barking (song), since there is no other song article on Wikipedia called "Barking". Theo (contribs) 19:51, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
An IP explained Musicnotes.com is reliable for the music arrangement related details, not for genres. (See Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_56#Musicnotes.com) but a non-admin user reverted it back and asked "says who?"[1] 123.136.116.26 (talk) 18:57, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
Do You Mind (Kyla song) cover
Hi SnapSnap, could you add the single cover for "Do You Mind (Crazy Cousinz Mix)" please? Theo (contribs) 00:34, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi SnapSnap, I can't tell if the music journalist here is calling Lay It All on Me (song) easy listening (the genre) or just describing it as a song that is easy to listen to. What do you think? Theo (contribs) 10:21, 16 February 2018 (UTC) Resolved Theo (contribs) 23:41, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
Correcting Nine Inch Nails Ep's
Hey SnapSnap. You recently changed the corrections I made to the NIN Ep Discography.
I thought I explained my reasons but I'll try to do it a little more in depth here.
Nin has 3 official Ep's (going by Nine Inch Nails own official website) [1]
Broken, Add Violence, and Not the Actual Events
Fixed is a remix album of Broken thus should be listed under the remix section
Remix 2014 is also just that another remix album from existent material.
And Live 2013 should be listed (just as the name implies) under the Live cayegory.
If we list all these albums under Ep's we would listing albums all day. NIN has plenty of live and remix albums (Closer to God, Every Day Is Exactly the Same, Recoiled) but they should go under there respected category.
Same with the ones I moved. Please let me know your take and if we can go back to my previous changes — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hand76 (talk • contribs) 19:40, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
- @Hand76: Fixed, Live 2013 EP and Remix 2014 EP are not albums, they are EPs (the latter two even have the word "EP" in their respective titles), so listing them under "remix albums" or "live albums" is incorrect since EPs are not albums. All EPs must be grouped together, regardless of type (studio, live, remix). snapsnap (talk) 05:30, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
- @snapsnap Hey Im not good with the communication system on wikipedia. Would you be kinda enough to email me (Hand76@GMail.com) I just have some questions and things to go over if you wouldn't mind. Iv'e taken the time to make so many corrections and it seems everyone has been redone. Thanks in advance — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hand76 (talk • contribs) 17:36, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
- @Hand76: I'd rather not give out my personal email address, if that's okay. Plus, it would be more appropriate to have this discussion at Talk:Nine Inch Nails discography so that other users could possibly join. snapsnap (talk) 05:29, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
References
Why episode counts are not supposed to be added for main roles?
You removed my edited of Sasha'spage in the Filmography section, and it's ok, but I would like to understand why yu did it. Why episodes counts are not supposed to be added for main roles? Since she's credited in every episode, but she does not appears in very episode, so I think it's a really useful information :/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.38.112.204 (talk) 19:15, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
- @177.38.112.204: According to the guidelines at WP:FILMOGRAPHY, "Do not list the number of episodes if the role is a starring or major recurring role – if the role does not cover the entire run of a television program, list the seasons involved instead." snapsnap (talk) 20:04, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
- Reason: It's simple – unsourced episode counts are unverifiable (if unsourced). That's why for guest roles, we insist that the episode title be listed – to make that guest appearance verifiable (through the episode credits). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:03, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
-> I think we should be able to put the number of episodes, it's more information, and evertthing is more organized! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.38.112.204 (talk) 10:13, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi. I've removed your addition of the three crewmembers here, as you did not provide any source for this information, and it doesn't appear to be in any of the references provided. Could you possibly elaborate on where you got this info from? Thanks, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 22:18, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
- @KatnissEverdeen: I got it from the Newport Beach Film Festival website. This kind of information is not usually sourced in film articles, so I forgot to include the reference. snapsnap (talk) 04:50, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Pale Waves
Hi, thank you very much for your clean up on the Pale Waves article, I have spend a lot of time researching and gathering all the information on the band, I know punctuation and language writing isn't my strong point so thank you for taking the time out to look at the bulk of the article. I have been looking for someone to review the page for some time and add a rating, if that is something you can do or you know someone that can do this that would be greatly appreciated .
Kind Regards EL Foz87 (talk) 14:23, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
Before I forget, I have tried to upload and place images of the band in the header and in the history section but they are repeatedly marked for deletion and removed even though I believe them to be fair use. I have tried to source free images of the band but am having no luck, do you have any advice when it comes to fair use and Wikipedia because what I would determine to be fair use may not be to an admin or another editor.
Thanks EL Foz87 (talk) 14:28, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- @EL Foz87: Hi. Thanks for the kind words! I don't think I'm qualified to assess the page, though. I'm afraid that's an administrator's job. Freely licensed/public domain images are not my forte, either – sorry. Flickr tends to be the most common source of freely licensed images. Perhaps this could help you. snapsnap (talk) 05:15, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
Your input would be appreciated
Hey SnapSnap, as you edit music articles quite often and these edits include personnel sections, if you get time, could you maybe add your opinion to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums/Album article style guide#"Production" should be restored? It's about the use of "production" over "producer" in personnel sections. Thanks if you can. Ss112 11:23, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi SnapSnap, would you be able to add the Raito remixes artwork to the infobox please? Appreciated if you can. --Theo Mandela (talk) 23:02, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
Daphne & Velma edit
Hi SnapSnap, I appreciate your copyediting efforts at Daphne & Velma. I am, however, very confused by your edit here. The Lifeboat Productions logo is right after the movie's end credits (I have the DVD as well), which I've noted in my edit summary. However, in the rest of the edit, you inexplicably remove "Jennifer Tisdale," who was credited in the film both in the beginning and the end, and additionally on the back cover of the DVD. You also deleted Blue Ribbon Productions completely from the lead, which was sourced and is again credited in the beginning and end credits and on the DVD back cover. Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 19:02, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- @KatnissEverdeen: Hi. I don't actually own the DVD, I was just basing myself on the back cover, which doesn't appear to include the Lifeboat Productions logo, but if it appears in the end credits then it's cool. It was you who accidentally removed Jennifer Tisdale and Blue Ribbon Productions from the lede when you restored Lifeboat Productions, not me. I've already restored it. snapsnap (talk) 19:54, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
- Oh I'm so sorry! Total brain freeze there haha. Thanks so much for fixing it! :) All the best, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 16:28, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

June 2018, London Fields
Hi SnapSnap. Thank you for your help, I'm new to editing Wiki. Regarding London Fields (film), I don't have any sources to site except myself. I'm the new Composer, Music Supervisor and Editor on London Fields and I just finished the Cue Sheets. The film is done mixing and production is printing/preparing the credit scroll for the film. I'm just trying to update credits on Wiki, IMDB, etc to reflect whats in the new edit of the film. i.e. I took out "Grinderman" and "London Grammar", and Jeff Lorber now has a featured piece in the film. And according the new Cue Sheets for the film, I've written the majority of the new score, so was just trying to update that part too. But as I brush up on my citation skills, I can input the relevant cites later when the film is released in August. Thank you for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Devatos (talk • contribs) 16:20, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi SnapSnap, the AllMusic review refers to three songs "pop rock", not a whole album. I would prefer to remove but another editor revert. 115.164.61.45 (talk) 18:15, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Templates
How is your general understanding of template code? We actually could use more template editors. You don't have to understand the Lua modules side (unless you want to work on them, but course directly editing modules is a bad idea if you're not Lua-fluent). — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 21:35, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
- @SMcCandlish: I'd say I have a pretty basic knowledge. I mean, I wouldn't be able to build templates from scratch, and I'm definitely not Lua-fluent, but I can work on music-related templates when something needs fixing/updating, if that's any help. snapsnap (talk) 23:01, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
- Well, maybe trying building some. :-) I'm just thinking you'd be a good maintainer of those templates, since you pay more attention to them than is usual, and do the right work in the sandboxes (or will, now that you know about copying the current "live" code first). — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 23:08, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
- @SMcCandlish: Hah, no more sandbox screwups. Sure, I could definitely give it a go. snapsnap (talk) 23:39, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
- One good way to get up to templating speed is to think about all the templates you use, and identify some that you wish had a feature that they don't have, then build a better version in a sandbox. What I usually do is create something like User:SMcCandlish/sandbox22 or whatever, put my code in, end it with
<noinclude> ... </noinclude>
then do test transclusions like{{User:SMcCandlish/sandbox22|parameter1=...|parameter2=}}
inside those tags. It's a more expedient testing process than a separate testcases page; you can test most stuff without even saving but just previewing. WP:MAGICWORDS is your friend, too. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 23:47, 31 July 2018 (UTC)- @SMcCandlish: I see. I think I could work with that.

An editor added these genres in the article [3]. Do the source explicitly says it's hip hop and psychedelic music? TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 08:40, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
- @TheAmazingPeanuts: Sorry for the late response. The word "psychedelic", as used in the review, does not refer to the genre – seems like someone has already removed it from the article anyway. Hip hop is used three times in the review, but only the last one refers to the album ("As far as trippy-sounding hip-hop goes, Scott is operating at something of a gold standard here..."). I guess it could be used to source hip hop, though it doesn't really sound explicit enough to me, so I'm not entirely sure. snapsnap (talk) 16:30, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Your image for "The Greatest Hit"
Hi. In case you missed it, IndianBio tagged your cover art for The Greatest Hit (song) with Template:Non-free reduce here. To be honest, I didn't really see the point (it's not like 310×300 pixels can be reduced very much, and if a bot does it it'll probably just be reduced to 300×300 so not much of a change). Just thought you might want to reduce it yourself before it's done automatically or something else. Ss112 22:37, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

"Revenge" and "Look at Me"
Hi SnapSnap, do you know if this source is reliable, please? If so, it can be a ref for alternative rock in the "Revenge" article's infobox. And would you say the Washington Post is calling "Look at Me" glitch and pop ("a distorted death-glitch called “Look at Me!”", "Even if “Look at Me!” slides off the charts next week and plummets into the public register of great pop flukes")? Cheers. Theo Mandela (talk) 07:04, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Theo Mandela: KollegeKidd doesn't strike me as a professional source at all (their "About" section doesn't say much, either). Glitch and pop don't appear to be mentioned in an explicit enough manner in those sentences. It's hard to say that "death-glitch" actually refers to the genre. snapsnap (talk) 14:40, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Synthesis Live
Just an FYI, the reason I wrote "4" rather than "four" is due to WP:NUMNOTES: "Comparable quantities should be all spelled out or all in figures, even if one of the numbers would normally be written differently: five cats and thirty-two dogs, or 5 cats and 32 dogs, not five cats and 32 dogs". — Huntster (t @ c) 16:39, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
"Homesick" being a single
Hey, I'm sure you noticed their edits and I'm not sure how you feel about "Homesick" being a single from Dua Lipa, but until a week ago, the articles the user Artmanha changed (Homesick (Dua Lipa song), Dua Lipa (album) and Dua Lipa discography) were stable regarding this information. I have asked Artmanha to take it to the talk page if they somehow feel Ultratop, MegaCharts and the provided Dutch radio station are unreliable. It'd be appreciated if you could point them in the same direction to form a consensus if they come back to edit war. Thanks. Ss112 02:46, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
- Actually, after effectively searching for those sources, regardless of them being reliable or not, NONE OF THEM, cited Homesick as being a single. I simply won’t argue with Ss112 since he’ll always try to prove himself right, for the sake of being right. If he looked for those sources, he’d see that, although they state the song received radio airplay, it hasn’t been released as a single, properly saying. Instead he chose to accuse me of edit warring to try to prove his POV (you’ll see that he’ll come here to argue and “prove” his point). Anyway, there aren’t sources citing the song being released as single, but I won’t waste my time arguing. Thanks — Artmanha (talk) 12:32, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
- So much for not "wanting to waste your time arguing", huh Artmanha? You even followed me to another user's talk page to continue arguing while claiming that's all I want to do. Oh, the hypocrisy. If you'd read more clearly, you'd see Ultratop and MegaCharts' listing clearly lists on their website that "Homesick" was released digitally on 1 December 2017 in the track listing section. That's where Hung Medien sites list details of a song's release as a single, but obviously you don't know that (it even says "Single", and on the next line "Digital"). Wow, airplay and a digital release—huh, strange, sounds like a single to me. Also, you did edit war—you re-reverted an IP editor after your good-faith edit was undone last week, which is what edit warring is. If you don't want to continue wasting your time arguing, then you should probably stop commenting on your own or other's talk pages doing so while simultaneously criticising others for it. Oh but by all means, do tag me and write another paragraph about how you know you're right but are so done arguing with users who think they're right. Ss112 16:24, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
- Stop telling others what to do, you don’t own anyone, you’re just petty enough to have your word as the final word. And don’t make assumptions about me, that’s impolite. Again, my point has been proved regarding your behavior. — Artmanha (talk) 17:41, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
- Your "point"—if you ever really had a valid point to begin with—has been proven about your own behaviour, because you're still continuing to argue after saying you would stop and criticising me for trying to get the "final word" in when you're continuing to reply. There's a word for that—it's called hypocrisy. I didn't make assumptions, buddy—facts are facts, impolite or not. You edit warred with that IP, and your hypocrisy has been pointed out in several messages now. Also, I'm pretty sure saying "you should probably..." is making a recommendation of what to do, not telling you what to do. I know you'll reply to this, though, so you'll have proven what I just said (since "proving" things is so important to you). It's time you realised there's no right or wrong in Internet arguments—it's all just bickering to anybody outside looking in, and nobody besides you really gives a shit about what "point" you try to make. Goodbye. Ss112 22:22, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
- To be fair, I don't think Hung Medien sites are always a reliable source for single release dates. Hung Medien is known to use unofficial/fanmade cover arts ("Homesick" included) – some of their single release dates could very well be fabricated as well. "Homesick's" Hung Medien entry lists a digital release date for the song, but where was it released exactly? I looked up Dutch and Belgian versions of digital retailers such as iTunes and 7digital, but I couldn't find a standalone "Homesick" release. The radio release seems legit, though. snapsnap (talk) 19:15, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
- i know they use fanmade cover art, probably to just have any cover art at all for songs, but the site isn't user-generated and I don't see how or why they would have fabricated a release date. Hung Medien is still accepted as legitimate for certain things (like databases for charts) but I don't think nor have I seen any concerns that they outright make things up.

If you don't want to continue wasting your time arguing, then you should probably stop commenting on your own or other's talk pages doing so while simultaneously criticising others for it. Oh but by all means, do tag me and write another paragraph about how you know you're right but are so done arguing with users who think they're right. Ss112 16:24, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
@SnapSnap: As you can see, the level of pettiness is humongous and not worth wasting your time. He’ll always “find an argument” and say he’s right. — Artmanha (talk) 23:32, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
- Oh, and Official Charts explicitly affirms IDGAF as the seventh single and a follow-up to New Rules, as linked here. The same thing with Entertainment Weekly, linked here. Thank you – Artmanha (talk) 02:09, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Pop rock is already sourced. If you mind that single "pop" and "rock" are redundant? 123.136.118.196 (talk) 07:03, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
Image sizing
FYI, per WP:Image resolution, non-free images should be kept to 100,000 pixels or less (calculated by multiplying the dimensions). While your 72,600-pixel version of File:Dynasty (2017) S2 poster.jpg is of course within that limit, it seems best to keep images at the largest size possible for accessibility reasons, especially when text is included. I'm not sure why you feel it is necessary to reduce the image further. Thanks.— TAnthonyTalk 14:58, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
- @TAnthony: This isn't about file size, it's about the dimensions of the image itself. The poster I uploaded (taken from here) has the correct dimensions, unlike the one that was originally uploaded (taken from Twitter), which was cropped at both the top and bottom. The maximum width displayed in the infobox is 220px, so there's really no need for images to be any wider than that (WP:IMAGERES states that "images should be rescaled as small as possible to still be useful as identified by their rationale, and no larger"). Plus, images wider than 220px will result in a quality decrease since JPG is a lossy format. snapsnap (talk) 15:27, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
Blonde
Would you like to weigh in this RfC regarding Blonde should be Frank Ocean's third studio album or his second. Only if you interested. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 07:50, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
Why was the image I uploaded reverted? It met the 300x300 size requirement and I cited the rationale. De88 (talk) 03:00, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- @De88: I simply replaced it with a PNG version since it's a lossless format and therefore has a higher quality. snapsnap (talk) 19:21, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
Can you keep an eye on the page? Make sure whoever adding genres are based on sources that explicitly says what it is. 2402:1980:8144:DF83:3429:694F:F96D:9B5B (talk) 12:05, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Current Interscope Records artists.
I don't understand why you had to undo all of my edits? They're all clearly sourced and if researched you would realize that the page was clearly outdated. I updated it with artists that are currently on the Interscope website as well providing sources for artists that are not on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hybrid27 (talk • contribs) 16:55, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Hybrid27: As I said in my edit summary, your edits were unexplained, plus you changed the order of listing for no apparent reason. I see you hardly ever provide a summary for your edits. If you're here to be constructive, I strongly suggest you start explaining your edits (especially when performing 30+ edits in a row to a single page). snapsnap (talk) 04:43, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
Take part in a survey
Hi SnapSnap
We're working to measure the value of Wikipedia in economic terms. We want to ask you some questions about how you value being able to edit Wikipedia.
Our survey should take about 10-15 minutes of your time. We hope that you will enjoy it and find the questions interesting. All answers will be kept strictly confidential and will be anonymized before the aggregate results are published. Regretfully, we can only accept responses from people who live in the US due to restrictions in our grant-based funding.
As a reward for your participation, we will randomly pick 1 out of every 5 participants and give them $25 worth of goods of their choice from the Wikipedia store (e.g. Wikipedia themed t-shirts). Note that we can only reward you if you are based in the US.
