Hey, Candy!
I thought that I may as well write my response to you here, because firstly, it's sort of out of place on the main page and secondly, it's easier to see when one has been contacted with this. Yes, I wrote MTV Makes Me Want to Smoke Crack, and indeed a whole bunch of other Beck articles, mostly because I was despondent about how the Pussy Cat Dolls or Mariah Carey, or I don't know, some other anti-feminist slease, get huge articles despite their lyrical inanity and musical derivativeness, whereas there's Beck with stubs for songs that could inspire hours of analysis... so I started what has been, lamentably, mostly a one-person attempt to build some Beck pages that are more than two-line explanations of when it was released and what score it got in the Top 40. MTV is quite an early article (my third on Beck, after writing something huge about the Banjo Story, which got deleted, and then replaced with something 1/10th the size. Fun!) and thus quite bad example of what I've been doing... the latest that I wrote was Devils Haircut.
Anyhow, (sorry about that, I have rather the neurotic habit of wittering on.) you are totally right that the article on MMMWTSC (I hate acronyms, but there goes) is wrongly written. It's a long time ago, but I am quite sure that I created the page with the correct title, and I think that it was moved to 'wanna' by someone... after all, if you note, the correct spelling is given on the first line of the article. Anyhow, it would make perfect sense to move the article to its proper name; I or you can do it, I don't mind. Anyone who would object is slightly off their orbit, but I doubt that anyone would really notice.
Sorry about that epistle. My best wishes,

...was released for airplay in late 93, but the physical release on CD (this being WAY before digital releases) was on January 18, 1994, therefore, making it a 1994 song. I have added the source. BGC (talk) 22:53, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
I'll try and keep an eye on them. It's not vandalism, at least not all of it, but some of it is unsourced. Thanks for letting me know! Redrocket (talk) 05:16, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
I did find a YouTube video of her. I'd have to watch the whole thing, but the caption says she's on film supporting Scientology. Yet I don't know the standard regarding YouTube videos. It's a self-uploading site, so it's probably considered self-published, but it's on film so.... Longchenpa (talk) 18:07, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
I would rather keep this discussion centralized to the article's talk page. However, the recent Request for Comment on the matter was quite clear. Cirt (talk) 07:33, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanks :) --Brandt Luke Zorn (talk) 23:24, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Not sure Daily Mail is the best source to use there for WP:RS. Best to find an WP:RS source, instead. Cirt (talk) 20:35, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
I noticed you were editing the Beck page. He's my favorite. You like him too? If you could try to to help me find some more directors for the music video table I made on the Beck discography page, I would appreciate it. It was really hard to make, since I just signed up yesterday and I'm not an expert. And the New Pollution page is kind of stubbish. GrantyO
I wish there was a way to put on the music video table that all of the Version 1 The Information music videos were directed by Beck and his family... —Preceding unsigned comment added by GrantyO (talk • contribs) 12:49, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks! and is there a way to, like, add you as my friend or something? And how did you know the directors for those videos? I've been looking for them. And how do you get userboxes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by GrantyO (talk • contribs) 04:02, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Go to this website...http://www.rossangeles.net/videos.html If you scroll down, you will see Beck "Beercan" co directed w/Steve Hanft —Preceding unsigned comment added by GrantyO (talk • contribs) 12:16, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
Like I was saying before, I don;t know how to put that all of the Version 1 Information videos were directed by Beck & his family. Otherwise, Nausea & Cellphone's Dead had different videos besides the ones made on The Information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GrantyO (talk • contribs) 12:22, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
What's the big deal about ampersands & Oxford commas? —Preceding unsigned comment added by GrantyO (talk • contribs) 19:44, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
The reason is because it's a chart from a specific week, so you can't verify whether or not the song actually placed higher after that specific week. WesleyDodds (talk) 01:46, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
RE: Beck edit 1990. All the information is correct and factual. We were all friends back then, back when Beck and my sister were a couple. Their relationship ended in late 1991, so there are some discrepancies with your facts. I am simply trying to correct them. I also did an interview with Beck when he came to Seattle Wa in 1994 (never released) where he stated to me that the majority of the interviews he had done up to that point were mostly ficticious, wherein the authors would add quotes and misinformation to Beck's stories for whatever reason. You can verify what I am telling you with Giovanni Ribisi/ Beck.[1]Infinifilm (talk) 02:52, 4 November 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Infinifilm (talk • contribs) 02:48, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
Hey there! I tend to, when revising an article, reuse the same reftags, and simply forgot to delete the URL of a Rolling Stone article. The LA Times article is now correctly linked. Thanks for notifying me! Thardin12 (talk) 21:40, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
