I requested a history merge at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#History_merge for "Talk That Talk". It appears that similar merges might be necessary for User:Tomica/Sandbox2, User:Tomica/Sandbox3, User:Tomica/Sandbox5, User:Tomica/Sandbox6, User:Tomica/Sandbox7 and User:Tomica/Sandbox12, if you plan on developing the articles to WP:FA status. Since you have already earned 3 WP:FOUR awards for this topic, I see more coming if you establish that you were the page creator with proper history merges. In general, I encourage history merges in the absense of a reason not to. Thus, everyone can see what the historical path of the article has been and your edit history will be included in the article.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:40, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, I never saw or new this, I will stop changing now. However that means Beyoncé is available to be listed in the 85 million claim as someone on the talk page has stated. Would that be appropriate? (as her 75 million record claim has stayed the same for around 4 years now)also remember when reverting my edit you are not placing her back in the 75 million section, you are completely removing her from the list --Lolcakes25 (talk) 12:49, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
Yep, here you go. Et3rnal 16:30, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
Hey bud, have you heard part 2 of JT's The 20/20 Experience? It's being streamed on iTunes, but I managed to find a link to the whole album. It's incredible! Et3rnal 18:22, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Rihanna - Where Have You Been.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 17:11, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Good Girl Gone Bad you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Zanimum -- Zanimum (talk) 12:51, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Sorry for the delay, was busy. Et3rnal 20:43, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Hello! Your submission of No Love Allowed at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! BlueMoonset (talk) 05:31, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
I must have hit the revert button the same minute your edit was being processed. I fixed it now.--Harout72 (talk) 16:42, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
I've started my MA this week and I've literally had no spare time! I think my time on WP will be very limited from now on :-( — ₳aron 18:46, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
Hello Tomica, is there any reason at all you uploaded redundant duplicate versions of the Nothing Was the Same artworks? Is there any difference, or any guideline supporting "png" over "jpg" that I am missing? STATic message me! 19:03, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
In 30 days, we will know the identity of our 2013 WikiCup champion. Cwmhiraeth (submissions) currently leads; if that lead is held, she will become the first person to have won the WikiCup twice. Sasata (submissions), Hawkeye7 (submissions)—who has never participated in the competition before—and Casliber (submissions) follow. The majority of points in this round have come from a mix of good articles and bonus points. This final round is seeing contributions to a number of highly important topics; recent submissions include Phoenix (constellation) (FA by Casliber), Ernest Lawrence (GA by Hawkeye7), Pinniped, and red fox (both GAs by Sasata).
The did you know (DYK) eligibility criteria have recently changed, meaning that newly passed good articles are accepted as "new" for did you know purposes. However, in the interests of not changing the WikiCup rules mid-competition, please note that only articles eligible for DYK under the old system (that is, newly created articles or 5x expansions) will be eligible for points in this year's WikiCup. We do, however, have time to discuss how this new system will work for next year's competition; a discussion will be opened in due course. On that note, thoughts are welcome on changes you'd like to see for next year. What worked? What didn't work? What would you like to see more of? What would you like to see less of? All Wikipedians, new or old, are also warmly invited to sign up for the 2014 WikiCup.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi. I noticed that you changed the The 20/20 Experience: 2 of 2's title to The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2. Should Greatest Hits: Chapter One be also changed to Greatest Hits – Chapter One too because Greatest Hits – Chapter One is the one used on iTunes, Amazon, and its official site? Thanks. Chihciboy (talk) 11:45, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi, sorry for interrupt, Olly Murs' native UK number one hit "Troublemaker" is a pop song which article says pop, but suddenly funk rock has been added in the section and infobox which is unsourced as well as doesn't said that with any citation, I think funk rock is influenced, not really a genre. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.171.176.253 (talk) 15:21, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
You're being quite bitchy! What do you mean MY EDITS were senseless? Are you on your period or something? What the hell is wrong with you?! ChicagoWiz 02:07, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
@Tomica: You just made it sound like I was retarded or something! I didn't know you were a guy! I'm sorry but it just hurt my feelings when you said that it was "senseless." But now I see what you're talking about and I apologize for that. ChicagoWiz 16:22, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
Unless I'm mistake and I apologise in advance, you're the first user to ever refuse to shorten Max Martin to Martin on recurring mentions. My knowledge of policies is that there is no such reason for it not to happen so this warning about intervening and admins is not only harsh to other editors it seems baseless and based on preference too rather than solid editing policy. I've brought it up on the talk page Talk:Prism_(Katy_Perry_album)#Martin_vs_Max_Martin as it should probably be discussed. If there is a valid reason for not shortening his name please feel free to link the policy etc and I apologise. I would agree in principle if it was a case of Dr.Luke (i.e. his writer name is Lukasz Gottwald but producer name is Dr. Luke) whereas Karl Martin Sandberg has been credited as Max Martin for both writing and production so there's no valid reason not to shorten this upon reoccurances. Not shorting is simple redundancy. At the very least if harsh messages that aren't backed by an obvious policy are hidden into text there should at least be a note at some talk page somewhere. → Lil-℧niquԐ 1 - { Talk } - 22:29, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Tomica, why did you change every instance of "Stargate" in the "Prism (Katy Perry)" article back to "StarGate"? The name is lowercased in Teenage Dream (Katy Perry album) but more importantly, the article name and category ("Stargate (production team)" and "Category:Albums produced by Stargate") are both lowercased. Thanks. Acalamari 14:10, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
Hey there! :) I agree that the cover is really good. I'm not really feeling that neon-style logo but I feel like it's a reference to her Vegas residency lol. I am excited for "Perfume", I have high hopes for that song. — Saulo Talk to Me 23:39, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited What Now (song), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bass (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I have a quick question, I notice you have replaced the Wrapped in Cover that I have uploaded with a PNG version, is it always preferable to have a PNG version of an image for the album infobox? Because usually, I upload the JPG cover because it is much smaller in size, and loads faster thanks to its size. SyFuelIgniteBurned 15:09, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
On 30 October 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Nobody's Business (song), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the song "Nobody's Business", by Rihanna featuring Chris Brown, contains interpolation from Michael Jackson's 1987 single "The Way You Make Me Feel"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Nobody's Business (song). You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

The WikiCup is over for another year! Our champion, for the second year running, is Cwmhiraeth (submissions). Our final nine were as follows:
All those who reached the final win prizes, and prizes will also be going to the following participants:
Prizes will be handed out in the coming weeks. Please be patient!
Congratulations to everyone who has been successful in this year's WikiCup, whether you made it to the final rounds or not, and a particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup who have achieved this year. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition. While it has been an excellent year, errors have opened up the judges' eyes to the need for a third judge, and it is with pleasure that we announce that experienced WikiCup participant Miyagawa will be acting as a judge from now on. We hope you will all join us in welcoming him to the team.
Next year's competition begins on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; it is open to all Wikipedians, new and old. Brainstorming and discussion remains open for how next year's competition will work, and straw polls will be opened by the judges soon. Those interested in friendly competition may also like to keep an eye on the stub contest, being organised by Casliber. The WikiCup judges will be back in touch over the coming months, and we hope to see you all in the 2014 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Why would you do the same thing I did on Britney Jean's album cover? It was the same edit. Not trying to start anything, just want to know why it's okay for you to do it and not me? livelikemusic my talk page! 13:55, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
What program did you use to resize the Britney Jean cover? The colors are not correct, this is the original cover: http://cfn.groundctrl.net/clients/britney_spears/media/04/04/images/assets/original.arAyI29WktNxjYgYuVDMw993Qa6DApC-Em6lUytyNGY.jpg So then why would it mater to use png to preserve the colors if the colors aren't correct in the version you reverted? Gcampbell92 (talk) 19:23, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at File:Britney Jean.png shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Stefan2 (talk) 19:58, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
