Dutch Top 40 is a combined airplay/sales chart, and the Megachart 100 (which is what Hung Medien reports) is a sales-only chart. Dutch Top 40 positions are preferred, and the Megachart 100 position should really only be used for songs that didn't chart on the Dutch Top 40.—Kww(talk) 17:24, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

It reached #1 on the Dutch Top 40, which is the preferred chart. Just remember to cite it correctly, and, if it's in a discgography, don't mix-and-match: use only one chart for the whole column.—Kww(talk) 17:28, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

You're confusing the Dutch Top 40 with the Dutch Top 100. The former combines Sales + Airplay while the latter is solely Sales based. On the Top 40 it has now reached number 7 yet on the Top 100 it has reached number 4. I believe the top 40 is a more accurate representation of performance as it combines more factors and because the Top 100 is effectively a component of the Top 40. Also, note that it is the Top 100 published at HungMedien, hence the macro for Dutch Top 40 is different to the others. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 00:01, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Nat, I was wondering if your library had the book Whitney Houston by Ted Cox.. It is a really good book which covers almost all songs and their composition. If you do get your hands on it, please do let me know. Novice7 (talk) 04:50, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. Well, there's a book by Craig Halsead called Whitney Houston: For the Record. Crowded gave me the information present on the book One Moment in Time and I have two books. So, it's like six books :D Novice7 (talk) 12:50, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I read somewhere that BOMT is the best selling debut album [by a female artist]. Novice7 (talk) 13:20, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Okay, there's Lead, Background, Development, Composition, Critical, Chart, Singles, Promotion, Awards and Legacy. You can select the ones you find easy to work on :) Novice7 (talk) 13:27, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Okay with me :) Btw, I forgot there's Artwork section too. So, I'll do Bg, Dev, Critical, Promotion, Awards and we can work together on Legacy and artwork?? I'll covert the existing Awards section to prose. The table is really big and increases the page load time imo. Novice7 (talk) 14:28, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Ya, it was me. Well, the cover I uploaded is the CD 2 cover, lol. Sorry! I'll upload the correct version soon :) Novice7 (talk) 17:00, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Actually, it is the real cover (in the US, the UK, Japan, the Netherlands...). What to do??? Novice7 (talk) 17:06, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

The blueish version is the CD Maxi, Cd single, vinyl... cover. The previous version is of a few UK vinyls and a remix single. Novice7 (talk) 17:07, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

I'll upload a new version of the B&W version. Tbh, I really loved the cute MC face on the blue cover, so I thought I should upload it, lol :D Novice7 (talk) 17:10, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Lol. What do you think of the new version I just uploaded and then reverted? Novice7 (talk) 17:17, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Lol, yes :D There are 3 covers for AYNAF. We have already seen two and the third one is this. Novice7 (talk) 17:21, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Here are a few more reviews for "Dreamlover" :)

• Remix review

• Robert Christgau's book

Novice7 (talk) 06:14, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Hey Nathan, are you free? If you are, can you read through "Irresistible" and tell me if you spot any grammar/close paraphrasing issues? Thanks. Novice7 (talk) 12:59, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. Novice7 (talk) 14:16, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Wow, thank you so much Nathan! Yes, of course I will ask for help :) I'll try to fix the music video section. Novice7 (talk) 04:10, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Hey Nathan. What happened to the Mariah Carey articles? I moved all the chronologies to the correct, only studio/only compilation, but now somebody's mixed them all back up. Any idea when? Jayy008 (talk) 19:26, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

It has been a while, I'm sorry to be abrupt. I wasn't planning on staying on, but now I am. How are you? Ah, okay, I didn't know that. So for all artists like "big artists" with a big catelogue, have a chronology integrated? Yesss, I saw it. But I keep getting distracted when I want to "well done you" about it! It's great. Which other singles have you done? I think "Can't Take That Away" is her most prominent single. Not for success, but the way it broke down relations with her label. Jayy008 (talk) 20:25, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Wow, that's a lot of singles you've done! I'm going to have a little read :). Also, with TEOM, that image shouldn't be there. She didn't do that live performance during the time that album was released and she's not singing a song from that album. Where should I move it, Music Box, E=MC2 or main page? No project recently, just reverting edits in my watch-list. Too stressful! Jayy008 (talk) 20:35, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

OK (regarding image). Which tour have you done? At the moment, I'm listening to a lot of Kate Voegele, Chris Brown, Adele and Jana Kramer. I love One Tree Hill, so I heard of Voegele through that. She's brilliant. What about you? Jayy008 (talk) 20:46, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

I love Britney, but I'm disappointed with her latest album. Although, I LOVE "'Till The World Ends". With Mariah, it's always annoyed me that she's only done one world tour, and that was kinds short. I was almost that close too, on Alan Carr. But she sang more at Disney :( Jayy008 (talk) 20:57, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

I had some doubts about Alan Carr, what's weird with Mariah, is that she would lip sync half a song lol, never seen that before! As for Britney, I completely agree with all of that. It's disappointing. But I do love Circus. That's one of my favourite albums of all time. Jayy008 (talk) 14:06, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Hey! Sorry for the late reply! So my major roadblock is finding accurate sourcing for the promotion section, and I wanted to refrain from sourcing all the actual performance information. I still want to do writing & recording, because I have a few articles on that, but I know you want to go ahead and get it done and out the way, so if you want to take over the promotion. Ughhh my main gripe is like having to dig for gold trying to find information for an older album urghhhhh. I hope to have the other part done soon, hope all is well. What do you think of Mimi's baby names? Would have preferred better, but its Mariah! Candyo32 14:26, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Take a look at this. I believe it is a part of the censorship in Saudi Arabia. Btw, the real Rainbow cover (and the booklet photo) seem "photoshop"ed. Also, this. Gosh, I wish it was free for use :D Novice7 (talk) 10:26, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

We can use the photo on #1's. But, as the album cover is also shown, I don't think it'll ever be free, lol. Yes, "Irresistible" failed. I'll fix the issues Sarastro pointed out first and then put it up for a ce at the GOCE. After that, I'll put it up for a PR. I'll let you know so that you can leave your comments. Well, I say by Monday we can start work on Whitney Houston (if that's okay with you?) I have ordered the books, but lol, I don't know when I would get them. Maybe a month or so :D Novice7 (talk) 03:50, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Great! Take care and we'll start soon :) Novice7 (talk) 14:58, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Hey Nathan, I found a review for AYNAF by Billboard [1]. Novice7 (talk) 14:54, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

I don't think it passes WP:NSONGS, either.—Kww(talk) 03:47, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Done! Notify the creator of the article using {{subst:AfD-notice|article name|AfD discussion title}} Btw, you can use Twinkle for this (much easier to start XfD). Click on Preferences -> Gadgets and select enable twinkle. Then, next to the watchlist button, you'll find the TW button which you can use to revert vandalism, start PROD, XfD and CSD :) Novice7 (talk) 09:25, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Oh ya if you haven't got Twinkle Nathan then you are doing too much unnecessary work. Adabow (talk · contribs) 09:40, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Honestly guys, I have no idea how to use that or what it is :S. Thanks though anyways for the advice :)--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 16:52, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Naturally. I read it at school first and my friend an I were in hysterics. Someone really...well... need I describe them? Adabow (talk · contribs) 05:22, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

And I know for a fact that McDonald's thighs would repulse, not excite. :D And thanks, stalker. :P Adabow (talk · contribs) 05:26, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

No need to tell you i have voted for Beyonce. Wow, she is getting the millennium award. Anyway how are you my friend? Jivesh • Talk2Me 14:04, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Can someone please explain the McDonald and Beyonce's thigh thing to me? Jivesh • Talk2Me 15:49, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Jivesh! :) Are you ready for our birthdays tomorrow!? :D Yes, I believe she is, the last person to receive that was Mariah in 1999. So basically, its a known fact that McDonalds is very fattening fast food, so he's kinda saying that Beyonce's thighs are all full of greasy fat and cellulite from eating so much McDonalds, and that she is a regular customer there. Pretty stupid stuff honestly lol.--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 20:08, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for late reply my friend. Please excuse me. That's hilarious (your message above). Lol. Jivesh • Talk2Me 15:08, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me all those good things Nathan. You are very nice. Jivesh • Talk2Me 15:09, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Happy Birthday ! Sorry for my lateness Pixelyoshi (discuter) 17:10, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you Yoshi :) How is your project coming along?--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 18:04, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

It's huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge and difficult ! I try to find sources for "(Hey Now)". Pixelyoshi (discuter) 20:19, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

I know lol. It is very difficult! You just have to collect enough sources through the archives and helm that article down :) It is very tough in the beginning!--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 22:43, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

I apologise beforehand if I'm not supposed to do this, it's only my 3rd nomination, but you started a review page for Slash's Snakepit about 2 weeks ago and have yet to review it. I was just wondering if you will be reviewing it soon? Thanks! =) HrZ (talk) 12:02, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

No worries, thank you. Also a belated Happy Birthday! HrZ (talk) 11:33, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you :)--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 22:20, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Nathan! Can you scan me Janet Jackson's "That's the Way Love Goes" and "Again" pages ? Thanks Pixelyoshi (discuter) 12:16, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

I found an interview. Mariah spoke about her childhood and "Dreamlover". Pixelyoshi (discuter) 20:14, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

THanks Yoshi, I'll try and add that :)--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 22:21, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I was just was wondering how to browse and find positions for RPM Canadian Singles. -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 18:19, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Hey thanks. I'm stuck though. What exactly did you type in because when I type in Dreamlover or Dreamolover Mariah Carey, only one reference comes out and it's from 1991 -.- -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 22:50, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

And the artist? -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 23:00, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you so much :) Also, up to what year does it cover? -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 23:07, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Oh, and what happened to songs from 2000 through 2007? -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 23:19, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

That doesn't have the main peak in Canada for "We Belong Together". It says it reached no. 2 in digital sales, but that's it. Was there no main singles chart for Canada at the time? -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 23:32, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

No, it's just that none of the Miley's songs of 2006 have charted in Canada and "Tim McGraw" either. I was making sure that I wasn't leaving out information. And Billboard only covers the Canadian Hot 100, which opened in June or July of 07. -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 23:37, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Actually, Miley's songs are in the same situation as Mariah (digital peak only) -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 23:41, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Dammit, 2006 is when both Taylor and Miley came about. Jan - Jun of 2007 is also included in that, just that Mariah didn't release any singles during that year. -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 23:57, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Please don't assume bad faith on the part of Candy. He is evidentl very busy IRL and all his edits on WP are reverting vandalism/bad edits. Adabow (talk · contribs) 06:44, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply, I was aiming to get back to you but got off track the first time. I replied to Mags because I remembered but there were multiple people such as CK, Theuroero, and E-S i forgot to get back to. Ugh, I'm so busy this week, I have three speeches, and exams are coming soon, so I don't know if I'll get it done this week, so if you must proceed you can go ahead and get the article finished. But if you want to wait, I can do it as soon as I can sit down and focus on Wikipedia, as I have only been able to revert vandalism for about a month my last major edit was minor fixes on GA's I had already done and The Ultra Platinum Section on the Mimi article. And I do have sources, I have no reason to make that up :) Candyo32 22:38, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Oh silly me, I was about to go post some information, now I see that you've already dumped it out of the sandbox. Good stuff :D Anyway, here's some tidbits here. Here's another [2] (That page talks about the album's direction musically, you can hit back to the first page which I already cited in the background, which kind of has some details about the lyrics). This talks about the recording process and recruiting produces. Lastly, this has some stuff near the end of the article that could possibly be used. Candyo32 23:39, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Ooops, silly me again, I see you've already nominated it. Never mind denn. Candyo32 23:54, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

So Nathan, I've put "IRR" for a PR. Feel free to comment on anything :) PR Here. Novice7 (talk) 12:53, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

I'll get to Charmbracelet soon, and I was wondering if we could do Whitney Houston after CB??? Did you check out the new pic on Whitney Houston? Btw, this made me roll on the floor :) Sorry if I sound rude.. Don't forget to comment on the PR :) Novice7 (talk) 07:17, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Go ahead with the c/e Nathan :) Lol, and I wonder how he managed to discover your account, lmao :D Yeah, CB would be much easier to complete imo, as it is a recent album :) I saw TEOM, amazing!!! I always get stuck at the Background section, but you're just amazing!! As for the photo, omg, yes!! She should upload atleast a pic of hers to Commons. For this image (+3 more), I sent an email to the owner (a very nice person, I must say) who said "go ahead" :) I plan on getting atleast a Mimi pic the same way too :P Novice7 (talk) 12:37, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Oh, Glitter is going to be a difficult project. As for CB, I'll be doing Background, Singles, Lead, Chart performance (oh damn, BG!!! I'm not good with BGs!!) Novice7 (talk) 13:03, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll try my best to do Recording and Development section :) Novice7 (talk) 13:11, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Six long years my friend. I hope all is well. BTW it's Jon from Minnesota. Kinda New to Wiki Thanks--CallMeSuzy/Jon • Talk2Me 19 May 2011 22:41 [UTC] —Preceding undated comment added 21:41, 19 May 2011 (UTC).
