It seems you have taken an interest in band tours. Please see WP:NTOUR; the last version of some of the redirected tours did not have enough reliable third-party coverage to establish the criterion. Jalen Folf (talk) 00:08, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shake (IShowSpeed song) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.
Hello. The first thing I'm going to say is don't be surprised if another user comes along and redirects this article. Instead of merely creating articles for topics you're interested in, like the works of bands you're a fan of, Google search for good news sources before creating an article. If there isn't at least four news sources, it probably shouldn't have an article on it (yet), and/or you should wait until there is. (This doesn't include college newspapers, social media sources or Wordpress blogs.) I could barely scrape together another source on top of Dork you already cited for this article, and that is a regurgitation of a press release. Sources like Apple Music and a source for Anvil Cat do not contribute to the notability of a topic. Before creating any further articles in the topic area of music, please read WP:NSONGS if you haven't already. Even if the track ends up making the UK Singles Chart or some such next week, it's still not really in the realm of notability yet and I don't think it should have been made.

Please do not change navboxes from the proper navbox intended for musical artists, Template:Navbox musical artist, to Template:Navbox for the sole intention of changing it red to "match the AC/DC logo" [1]. So what if their logo is red? We don't stylise templates. There's unification in these matters for a reason. Colours were stripped from Template:Infobox artist discography and other music templates because they were seen as both decorative and unnecessary, and there is a limited range of accessibility-compliant colours in the navbox for a reason, so your colours are purely decorative and not in line with WP:ACCESS. To try to get around standardisation by using a different template is inappropriate, so please do not make similar edits changing colours in other templates or on articles. Thank you. Ss112 20:55, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Summer Carnival (tour). There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. livelikemusic (TALK!) 12:54, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
What you should wait for instead is for news articles about the EP's impending release to be published. There was not one news source on the article about it—Lovejoy's main website might list the EP for pre-order but their website still isn't about the EP. You need to read WP:NALBUMS and avoid creating articles for releases until there is news coverage or a definite claim of notability about them. A top-40 single being included on it doesn't make it notable by proxy, because notability is not inherited. Thanks. Ss112 09:05, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
Before you repeat this line elsewhere, see WP:TWITTER: "Self-published and questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves" so long as it's not an exceptional claim, it's made by themselves about themselves, and there's no doubt as to its authenticity. I'm not saying it shouldn't have been replaced with the chart page from their own website, but Billboard talking about their own charts on Twitter is still an acceptable source. Ss112 09:26, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
Please refrain from using talk pages such as Talk:Black Ice World Tour for general discussion of this or other topics. They are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways, based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines; they are not for use as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See the talk page guidelines for more information. Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 03:29, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
Please consider stopping the unuseful edits you're making on several of my recent GAs. These are almost completely useless edits that do not effect how the article looks to readers whatsoever; all they are doing is making the articles pop up on people's watchlists even though there's no new addition, and masking questionable edits IPs may have made before you. It feels like you are "correcting" my work like a school teacher. It is also throwing off the edit count and making you look like a bigger contributor to these articles than you are (which seems deliberate in the edits following this one for example). Kindly stop playing games as this seems a bit disruptive.--NØ 08:09, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Vaughan J.,
WikiProjects are not intended to be the work on ONE editor. Please propose this new WikiProject at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals and follow the guidelines before starting up a new WikiProject. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 18:52, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article AC/DC 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 ChristieBot, on behalf of Shaidar cuebiyar -- Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 02:22, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
The article AC/DC you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:AC/DC for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

HI! Have this RADIOACTIVE Barnstar! (I know the radioactive Barnstar doesn't fit, but I think it looks cool.) Babysharkboss2 was here!! 19:41, 11 October 2023 (UTC) |
Need a good reference for the length of AC/DC's hiatus? Its length was discussed on the article's talk page archived here. The group confirmed in 2020 that they had started recording in August 2018. See "AC/DC's 'Power Up' Is 'A Tribute' to Malcolm Young, Says His Brother Angus", which has "Power Up was recorded over a six-week period in August and September 2018 at Warehouse Studios in Vancouver..." Enjoy.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:51, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
There's more I'd like to do at AC/DC, if you can wait awhile.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 11:14, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
You would have noticed how the article has many of its refs housed in the References section, leaving ref tabs in the main text. However, latter day refs (including those I've introduced recently) are still in the main text. I suggest moving all those ones into the References section, too. However, this will take time and I hope that Edit conflicts don't occur during that process.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 23:35, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
I thank you for all of your sweeping up after my messes. Its been great working with you on this article but I'm moving on now. Re-read the GAR, check as many points as you can. Consider adding sound files. Otherwise have fun at your next GAN: I hope it flies high.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 07:45, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
@shaidar cuebiyar: Would you also like for me to nominate it for FAC in the future, with you as credit for helping out with the article as well? — VAUGHAN J. (TALK) 06:20, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
I applaud your recent work on this article, including the reference section's reformatting and article-wide copy editing. Sometimes that feels like the death by a thousand cuts but your good work is appreciated.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 00:50, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
Hey Vaughan, I've been meaning to respond to your message but got side-tracked IRL and some Wiki commitments. Unfortunately given the depth and size of the article, as well as it's popularity in mainstream music, I regret that I cannot commit to a detailed GA review. I am a bit inexperienced in the GA review space, especially in reviewing "high-importance"-rated BLPs. Anyway, good luck with the GA and all the best! Pseud 14 (talk) 19:36, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
Hi, you seem to have removed a lot of information from this article, particularly the singles. Just wondering why? Bretonbanquet (talk) 20:59, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
I'm finishing off some work on a jazz music awards article. Hopefully it will be done in two or three days. I'll be along to the disco as soon as.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 04:29, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
I'm trying to avoid re-issues or later releases, e.g. DDDDC was not released in US until 1981 but Atlantic/WEA issued it in Europe (and elsewhere?) in '76. We might need a note within table about chart posi of 3 and multi-Pl in US.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 00:54, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
I've had my first run through Studio albums. You can tackle Sales column if you wish. I'll head down to Live albums etc.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:48, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
@shaidar cuebiyar: I've tackled all the singles to be the ones you see on Daft Punk's or Taylor Swift's discography articles. — VAUGHAN J. (TALK) 22:49, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
@shaidar cuebiyar: Are you going to fix the rest of the video albums' details and stuff? — VAUGHAN J. (TALK) 08:22, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
According to WP Discographies – Style What Should not Be Included, Dot point 8: "Releases by other artists as a tribute or cover."
I think we should delete that whole subSectn. What is your view?shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 02:19, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

DoneARIA still shows their accreditations per here download the whole lot. We will have to check all the ARIA values, I've already seen an album accreditation used for a single of same name.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 08:24, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
Query: Are there any more New Zealand certifications? The article has archive copy of Radioscope from 2011 for Iron Man 2 and Black Ice and a Top 40 charting for Rock or Bust. What about:
Query: Do we supply certification information for markets, which are not shown in adjacent charting columns? e.g. T.N.T. was certified Platinum+Gold in Mexico and Back in Black article has 14 certificates.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 00:43, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
@shaidar cuebiyar Do you think our work is done, and may be ready for FLC, or do we have to expand the lead a bit? — VAUGHAN J. (TALK) 02:13, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
What's your opinion on some of the refs being the AUS chart discography section, since it shows the release date of the single? — VAUGHAN J. (TALK) 01:10, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
Once you fix the RPM problem (see below) you can throw our collab at FLC.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 03:39, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
@shaidar cuebiyar: Are we ready for the list to be at FLC now? — VAUGHAN J. (TALK) 06:39, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
I've changed Nor chart col for Ger col in both Studio albums and Soundtrack albums. The German market is much bigger, AC/DC had greater certifications in Germany and generally higher charting for most albums. I hope you're okay with this.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 20:24, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I am Don Ienner's son helping my dad out with his Wikipedia article. Not too long ago I posted a few suggestions to add important information to the article. I saw that you have an interest in music and thought you might like to help with editing this page, since my understanding is that because of my conflict of interest I should not make any edits myself. Here is a link to my suggestions. Thanks so much. GarrettEye (talk) 10:20, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article AC/DC 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 ChristieBot, on behalf of RetroCosmos -- RetroCosmos (talk) 04:22, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
The article AC/DC you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:AC/DC for comments about the article, and Talk:AC/DC/GA4 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.
