Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Cher, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Madonna (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.

Pt article

Wow, that article looks amazing! I'll work on the English version of it, I'll just have to finish with these pesky final papers, before the final exams. We could both work on it, if you'd like :) Alecsdaniel (talk) 02:34, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Block

Cherfc (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

My IP was autoblocked for apparently no reason.

Decline reason:

The IP in question was blocked as an open proxy, which it is. Policy prohibits editing via open proxies. Tiptoety 00:22, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

• Autoblocks are not executed for "no reason". What is the message you are receiving when you attempt to edit. Tiderolls 23:05, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

• "You are currently unable to edit pages on Misplaced Pages.

You can still read pages, but you cannot edit, move, or create them. Editing from 187.40.16.57 has been blocked (disabled) by ProcseeBot for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy. To prevent abuse, these proxies may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. If you believe you are not running an open proxy, the most likely cause is that another customer from your ISP who was previously assigned this IP address was running an open proxy. If this is the case, please request to be unblocked using the {{unblock}} template, or request administrator attention using {{admin!}} and indicate you are caught by an open proxy block. More rarely, your network equipment or that of your service provider may be misconfigured or compromised by malicious software (such as a virus). In some cases, this can be remedied by logging into the secure server. For more information, see the Wikiproject on Open Proxies and Misplaced Pages:Open proxies. (Sandbox test edit) This block has been set to expire: 09:21, 26 June 2012. Even if blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page and contact other editors and administrators by e-mail. Note: Please use the links across from each header to show more information." Lordelliott (talk) 23:07, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

OK, but since it does NOT relate to my actions, I don't think MY account should be blocked. Lordelliott (talk) 15:30, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

It is possible to give you IP block exemption, if you have a good reason to be editing via a public proxy, but unless you can give a good reason to do so it is unlikely to happen. Alternatively, if you are not aware that you are editing via a proxy, then it is possible that your computer has been compromised and is being used as a zombie server. If that is the case then you need to get your computer checked for viruses and trojans. This IP address has been in use as a spam email server, in addition to other activity. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:53, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

I don't even know what is a proxy. I think I'm a good user, my edits are productive, and I want to keep reverting vandalisms like this. I tried yesterday and couldn't do anything because my account was autoblocked, so this edit stayed for more than one day. That's the reason. I will check my computer, but I don't believe it's infected. Lordelliott (talk) 23:08, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

The IP address you quoted above is still blocked, including blocking logged in users on that IP address. Since you are now able to edit, you must now be on a different IP address. It looks to me as though it must be a dynamic IP which had once been used by a spambot, but which later became assigned to you, and you unfortunately got caught in collateral damage. If that is so, then I can sympathise with you over the frustration it must have caused you, but at least you seem to have escaped from it now. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:21, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Info

I've messaged an admin with open proxy experience to check into this. Someone may see your request before my contact responds, but you will get a response directly. Tiderolls 23:30, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Right, thanks. Lordelliott (talk) 23:31, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Non-free content policy and guideline

Please do not place or replace any non-free media (either images or audio) to any pages except for actual articles, as you have done at User:Lordelliott/Sandbox. Such use is a clear violation of point number 9 of our policy concerning the use of non-free images. Continuing to do so can be viewed as disruptive behaviour and you may be blocked from editing. VernoWhitney (talk) 15:16, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

OK, sorry. Lordelliott (talk) 04:52, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Cher's record sales with Sonny

Hi, I see there are two sources supporting the 40 million in sales with Sonny.

• Could you please point out for me where in that article of Vanity Fair the 40 million lies? I fail to locate the 40 million in sales.
• Also, what makes the second source, A Daily Dose of the American Dream reliable especially when our policy restricts such self published materials?--Harout72 (talk) 17:47, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

The word "Lies" in my sentence above was meant to refer to Stand or Sit, not Lies as an not telling the truth. Also, anyone can publish a book of their writings, therefore, Alan C. Elliot's A Daily Dose of the American Dream should not be used as source. Anyways, I see you've replaced both sources with a reliable source.--Harout72 (talk) 22:05, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

TEOM

I can see you've been taking a look at Mimi. Though you've found small over-looked errors, I can assure you that the references are near impeccable and something you should use to model your articles.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 06:51, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Cher

Olá, Lordelliott.~Tudo bem? Estou afastado de todas as Wikipédias já há alguns meses, e só retorno quando surge algo de meu interesse... Não é o caso da Cher, mas já que a minha contribuição seria somente em relação à redação em inglês, me coloco à disposição de ajudar no que for possível, mas com uma exigência: que você vá me citando os pontos em que precisa de alguma revisão, ou seja, não pretendo ir lendo todo o artigo ou todas as edições a procura de erros ou melhorias. Noutras palavras, vá me trazendo ou me indicando as partes do artigo que precisariam de uma revisão. Vou auxiliar na medida do possível, ok? Abraços, NandO 16:37, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Warning

Your editing in article of Kylie Minogue is controversial (delete of text and sources), you must first discuss it. If by consensus, content and source must be removed, will be removed. One source describes the term "Pop Goddess", this is a different situation, in this case is can not be removed the text and the sources. Also, for you, this source can be a non reliable, for other users this source can be a reliable - therefore it must be earlier discussion and consensus, later - changes. I'm glad, you started a discussion but create a topic of discussion does not authorize the removal of content and sources without discussion and consensus. Please wait for the opinions of other users. If you do not stop your edit war, I will notify the administrator. Remember, first: discussion and consensus, later appropriate editing. If by consensus, content and source must be removed, this text and sources will be removed. Subtropical-man (talk) 18:49, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

PS: More explanations and the discussion is here: Talk:Kylie_Minogue#The_Goddess_of_Pop. If you have any suggestions to as first: discussion. Subtropical-man (talk) 18:56, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

re Cher

Hi,

I wouldn't mind doing some copy editing (which you're free to revert) since you said in your FAC that you weren't completely comfortable in English. I could reword some of the quotes so that there weren't so many.

Also, what does "having brought the sense of female autonomy and self-actualization into the entertainment industry" mean? Could you give me a reference so I could figure that out? Best wishes, MathewTownsend (talk) 21:20, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Much as I like Cher, I will decline. I do very little reviewing these days. Best of luck with the article. Finetooth (talk) 21:38, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Cher

I'm very impressed with all the effort you've put in to the Cher article and the high quality of the result. Keep up the good work! Kendall-K1 (talk) 13:41, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Cher PR request

Would you like me to begin a new PR, or would you prefer I just add some comments at the bottom of User:Noleander's PR? GabeMc 21:48, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

I've started a PR here, and will begin adding comments later tonight. Assuming it's complete, you should either close the existing PR or ask User:Noleander to close it. I look forward to working with you, cheers! GabeMc 23:32, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

• I'll be making some minor adjustments to the article here and there throughout the PR, so as to reduce the clutter at the PR page and to assist you a bit with this massive article. If any of the changes I've made or will make do not sit right with you, then by all means, please feel free to revert and discuss per WP:BRD. I may also introduce an error or two, as I am not as familiar with this material as I usually am when I get into a review of this depth. Hope you don't mind the edits, because I sure don't mind helping out a bit. Please let me know about any issues of concern caused by my copyediting. Cheers! GabeMc 00:12, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

• Right! Feel free to make any adjustments. Lordelliott (talk) 00:23, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

• I'll have a new round of comments for you later tonight, but don't forget about alt text. GabeMc 02:54, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Allright. Lordelliott (talk) 03:22, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Nice edits tonight, but as I said, don't neglect stuff like alt text. If you want a decent example, take a look at some of the alt text at Paul McCartney or Pink Floyd, if you are unsure how to word it. GabeMc 05:03, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

FYI, I'll be too busy tomorrow to add anything to the PR, but don't worry, I'll be back asap, nice work! GabeMc 07:48, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

• Sourcing. Nice work! This will reduce the overall size of the article, the complexity of the sourcing method and it will decrease the load-time. Others may disagree, but I've seen it enough with large articles like this one and it greatly improves load-time and editability, if that's a word. Anyway, great work on the article! GabeMc 04:06, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

• I'll be too busy tonight to add any more comments, but I'll be back soon. You are doing great things with an important article. You should be quite proud of the work you've done there! GabeMc 21:28, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Cher albums discography

If you look at the release date of Cher in RIAA's database, it states November 1987. Whereas Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves was released in September 1971. So the Platinum certification is for Cher (1987 album).--Harout72 (talk) 23:34, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

You need to provide specific sources for your certification entry for Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves, the RIAA site does not contain any certifications.--Harout72 (talk) 17:32, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Editions of Harout72 should be taken with a lack of confidence. This user have a very controversial point of view on music articles, if you think, his editions are wrong - back his edits. Subtropical-man (talk) 00:21, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Subtropical-man, you are very close to violating Misplaced Pages:Harassment.--Harout72 (talk) 17:32, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
