Bubbling Under Hot 100 songs
[edit]Hi there,
Since you do a lot of editing with charts and certifications, I was wondering if happen to have a subscription to Billboard.biz. If you do, then could you possibly do a favor for me? I've been working on a lot of Rise Against song articles recently, and some of the articles list Bubbling Under Hot 100 appearances. Since I can't access that chart without a subscription, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind checking and seeing which songs made it to that chart, and their peak position. I know that "Savior" made it to number 2, but that's it. I would greatly appreciate it, and I'd be in your debt. Famous Hobo (talk) 21:57, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
- I don't have a Billboard.biz subscription, but the way I find charts on there is to go to the chart search and type in the artist's (or band's) name and choose the chart name. And yes Rise Against did have more songs on the chart and they can all be found on this link: http://www.billboard.com/biz/search/charts?f%5b0%5d=ts_chart_artistname%3ARise%20Against&f%5b1%5d=itm_field_chart_id%3A344&f%5b2%5d=ss_bb_type%3Achart_item&type=2&artist=Rise%20Against ThedancingMOONpolice (talk) 02:32, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- Oh wow, thanks! That's incredibly useful. Wonder why I never discovered that. Famous Hobo (talk) 03:05, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

DYK for Different Colors
[edit]On 16 August 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Different Colors, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that indie rock band Walk the Moon worked with AT&T and the Deaf Professional Arts Network to create an American Sign Language video for "Different Colors"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Different Colors. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Different Colors), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Please make sure chart positions you add are sourced
[edit]Hi. Regarding the Canadian chart position you added to Post Malone discography, it was not sourced. The source in the header was an old Billboard URL, http://www.billboard.com/music/post-malone/chart-history/canadian-hot-100. You cannot navigate to the Canadian peak of "Motley Crew" using that old URL. Please make sure the URLs verify the content you add; I always make sure the URLs on discographies are correct when I add chart positions to them, so every other editor should as well. Thank you. Ss112 04:48, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
- I will try to be more aware of that next time. Thanks. ThedancingMOONpolice (talk) 04:53, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
Don't Go song
[edit]Since you edit lots of Justin Bieber songs, I thought I would let you know about Don't Go (Skrillex, Justin Bieber and Don Toliver song). Will you please take a web archive of this website linked below? It shows that the song was released to urban contemporary radio on August 31, 2021, so after the website gets rid of old dates, we still have the proof. Thanks!
https://www.allaccess.com/urban/future-releases
I took a web archive of the website, but I did not see the song listed on there when I did. Did you mean to link to the Rhythmic page instead? Because I do see a date for the song there. I saved an archive of that as well. ThedancingMOONpolice (talk) 03:49, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
Yes, it was the wrong link, my apologies. Thank you for your help. Will you go to Let It Go (DJ Khaled song)? It features Justin Bieber and 21 Savage. This article can use some expanding, but not sure how. If you can try to add more sources or anything, that would be great.
I'll see if I could try to expand the article at some point. ThedancingMOONpolice (talk) 04:55, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
Deja Vu expansion
[edit]Would you mind expanding the article Deja Vu (Post Malone song), an article for a song by Post Malone featuring Justin Bieber? This has barely any content, as it mostly has the personnel and chart positions only. Thank you for your time.
I will see what I can do when I have time. ThedancingMOONpolice (talk) 01:29, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Don't Check on Me (song by Chris Brown featuring Justin Bieber and Ink)
Can you please expand this article? There are also a few mistakes to fix. Thanks.
I may or may not work on this. I'm getting more busy with stuff at the moment and I usually do research on Bieber's own music rather than what he's featured on. ThedancingMOONpolice (talk) 05:04, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Removing additional sources on discographies
[edit]Hi. I've noticed that you've removed the temporary sources below chart positions on Justin Bieber discography several times. I'm just going to be restoring the citation when it achieves a new peak, and it can be tedious to restore the citation if the song is actively moving up week upon week on a chart. Perhaps it would be best to wait for the song to finish its chart run and remove the citation when it's showing signs of slowing its ascent, or when it's actually descending instead of feeling you need to remove the temporary source from below the chart position every week when the pre-existing column source updates. Thanks. Ss112 06:33, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
- Hello. I would like to inform you that I am not the one removing the temporary sources for peaks from the Justin Bieber discography page. The one who has been doing it is an IP user. The only temporary sources I have removed recently were for the certifications that cite a Twitter post rather than the databases, which I replaced. ThedancingMOONpolice (talk) 06:44, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
- If an editor has started a thread on your talk page, please respond (t)here. I'm aware IP editors also remove the sources, but I could have sworn I have seen you do it too. If not, apologies, I will ask the IP editors not to. Ss112 06:46, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Hey, ThedancingMOONpolice. Did you get my message? Not rushing you.
- Yes I did. I don't think it is an official cover for the song since the audio video is animated and the aspect ratio is not square. If there is an official source for cover art, like for "Intentions", then I will add it. ThedancingMOONpolice (talk) 02:22, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Hey there, hope you are well. Just a question, did anyone ask you to upload the cover for Up at Night (song)? I'm asking because the IP who created that article is the same sock, Rishabisajakepauler, who previously asked you to upload covers for them here on your talk page. Just a heads up again, if an IP asks you to upload cover art, it most likely is that same sock, and you shouldn't peform any edits for them. AshMusique (talk) 18:43, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- @AshMusique: No, I uploaded the cover on my own accord when I came across the article and found it did not have one yet, similar to the "Essence" remix. I have had my issues with IPs editing things, who I suspect are the same person since working on Justin Bieber articles, such as falsely stating that a release was canceled when the sources did not indicate that. ThedancingMOONpolice (talk) 19:30, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oh okay, sorry for insinuating that you perfomed edits on behalf of them. Yes, that sock does edit Bieber-releated content quite regularly, they make it too obvious. Anyhow, thank you for the response. AshMusique (talk) 19:36, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

I wanted to look into that a little further, but upon reviewing that user's sockpuppet investigation archive, I don't see this IP address listed anywhere. I've since received another talk page message from this IP user, but I wanted to check in to see what led you to believe this is a sockpuppet and not a genuine user. Thanks!

- @Sock: The sockmaster has a ton of IP ranges available to them, and the IP posting to your talk page is making the same edits from the same geolocation as the sockmaster (see the history of Remember This (Jonas Brothers song), for example). It's certainly the same editor, and I've blocked the IP.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 21:41, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Certification Table Entry usage hint
[edit]Hi ThedancingMOONpolice. Just a quick hint, when using {{Certification Table Entry}} you do not need to specify the amount of sales certified like you did here. The main point of the template is that it does this for you. If the template does not display a sales figure, it is most likely because you are missing something and the template documentation can help you figure out what. In this case, you were missing |type=single
, like I corrected here. If there is any problem and you don't get the results you are expecting, you can either ask me directly or ask at the template's talk page. Happy editing! --Muhandes (talk) 12:02, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Muhandes: I understand why you are telling me this, but for some reason those specific SNEP certifications that have recently appeared are not categorized correctly in the database (they are labeled as "Single" instead of "Singles"). So if you clicked on any of the links from the entries I added with the type parameter set to single, the certification would not show up at all. That is why I purposely omitted the type parameter for those instances and supplied the sales amount manually. If you want I could always go back to what I was originally doing for these types of situations and just use certref. I hope you understand my reasoning. ThedancingMOONpolice (talk) 18:10, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
- I understand your reasoning. However, if the choice is between
|salesamount=
and|certref=
, the latter is preferred. The former creates an entry in Category:Certification Table Entry usages of salesamount without salesref, since it is treated as an unsourced number. If you are using|certref=
you can still use {{cite certification}}, like I did here (I corrected the seven pages). However, if this is a common problem, perhaps a batter solution is to account for it in the template itself by adding a parameter or something. How common is it? Do you have any idea when it occurs? --Muhandes (talk) 18:30, 18 October 2022 (UTC)- @Muhandes: Ah, I see now. Thank you for telling me about the category issue, I will use certref then. I cannot really not tell you when or why this sort of event occurs. For some reason SNEP made all those "Single" certifications viewable just now even though the certification dates would suggest they should have appeared earlier. They have added new certifications to their website and those are labeled correctly as "Singles", so I don't know what happened to the earlier ones. The only thing I can tell you is that it seems to be affecting some releases from 2016 to 2020. ThedancingMOONpolice (talk) 19:02, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
- This happened before with Germany certifications and we added the (poorly chosen)
|best=no
option. If you are going to add many such certifications I can do the same in this case. --Muhandes (talk) 19:09, 18 October 2022 (UTC)- @Muhandes: I do think it would be a good idea to have an option to search all certifications for an artist/title even with the type parameter specified in case an issue like this happens again, since it seems to have affected a lot of singles and other users are starting to add the certifications that do not work with the type parameter specified. ThedancingMOONpolice (talk) 20:21, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
- I see what you mean. The only problem is cases where we want to make the distinction between a single and an album with the same title, but the harm in this is less than the harm in having a wrong link. By the way, this very fruitful conversation should probably have taken place at the template's talk page. --Muhandes (talk) 07:59, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
- I took your advice and single certifications now use
categorie=Tout
. Let me know if you have any updates on this. --Muhandes (talk) 09:41, 19 October 2022 (UTC)- I will do so. ThedancingMOONpolice (talk) 13:51, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello ThedancingMOONpolice!
- The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
- We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
- Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
- If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Swedish certifications
[edit]Hi @ThedancingMOONpolice. I've noticed that you added missing swedish certifications with the link in the Grammotex database. I also have access to the complete certification list from IFPI Sweden, but I don't know how to search the Grammotex for an online source. For example, how did you find the page for Zedd-Clarity in the Grammotex site? Greetings YGO24895 (talk) 01:13, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- I need to add: I've found the Grammotex numbers in the monthly lists I received from IFPI Sweden since 2023, but my "complete" list 1987-2021 and my year list 2022 are missing these. If you have access to a list with Grammotex numbers, would it be possible to send it to me? Many thanks in advance.YGO24895 (talk) 01:41, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- @YGO24895 Unfortunately, I do not have an actual list of Grammotex numbers. What I have been doing this past week is going through Sverigetopplistan's chart archive, more precisely the mostly overlooked Dance and Heatseeker charts, and finding entries that did not enter the main singles chart (entries that are not searchable on Sverigetopplistan). I obtain the number by using Inspect Element and finding the data-sart value before inputting it into the Grammotex site to see if it yields a certification that is currently undocumented. I was only able to find the entry for "Clarity" as it charted for one week on the Dance chart. So anything that has received a certification but has not charted anywhere is still basically impossible to find. Some works may also have multiple numbers that have a certification for one entry, but not the other, like "All I Want" [1][2] (the entry number changed during its first and second week on the main chart). This method could still be useful if something has charted on one of the main charts, but does not show up in Sverigetopplistan's search results for some reason, like Tiësto's A Town Called Paradise.
- I just started utilizing Grammotex after Sverigetopplistan stopped returning the JSON files for chart entries, which made it harder to verify when something received a certification, so I searched for an alternate source. I found a web page of one of Grammotex's charts, and the url looked distinctly similar to how some Swedish certifications used to be cited. I figured to do something similar on the Grammotex site using the data-sart value. I hope this has been of some help to you. ThedancingMOONpolice (talk) 04:21, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your detailed information. I've managed to find the numbers this way as well, but like you said: That unfortunately still excludes a lot of certs. GreetingsYGO24895 (talk) 06:38, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- @YGO24895 If you are still interested, I have managed to extract what I believe to be all entries in the Grammotex database that have a certification registered (at least up to now) and wrote a script that can be used to search through the list. I cannot confirm if I missed some entries somehow, but some older certifications like "... Baby One More Time" (single) seem to not be logged even though the song is shown to have one through the archived document. ThedancingMOONpolice (talk) 04:51, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi. Yes, I'm still interested. How can I access it? YGO24895 (talk) 05:20, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
