Where Have You Been

This absolutely slays. Best video of 2012. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 17:39, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Definitely!!! Her best video to date... all the critics I read since now, all positive :)! This will be easily #12 number-one on the Hot 100 :D and in the UK of course. Btw, please write the synopsis since you are good at that, and I will collect all the sources for video review so we can make some good video section in the article. (And don't worry I will not ask for a co-nomination or smthg, just want to help to the article ;))

It's the best creative treatment she has ever had. It's something I'd expect from Gaga. Will be a massive hit. It re-entered the UK Dance chart yesterday at #33 and the US Dance chart last Wednesday at #37, without a video lol. And lol to the comment. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 17:49, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, plus it was all shot in a studio, but it seems so realistic in the video. Great video. I expect a lot of nominations at the VMA 2012, it really deserves. This was what exactly Rihanna needed after "We Found Love". — Tomica (talk) 17:55, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

I can see why they chose this not to be the second single though, as it is very similar. It was obvious it would be a single anyway, but later down the road. When is the Princess of China video coming out? I literally can't wait any longer. I wish videos for Talk That Talk and Birthday Cake were shot. I had good ideas for Birthday Cake lol. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 18:00, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Yeah. "Princess of China" is coming somewhere in May, for sure late May since now this video has to make impact first. I really don't know what happened to "Talk That Talk", if she promoted it more the song would be successful throughout charts. But I think its Jay's fault anyway. And "Birthday Cake" lol, everybody has good fantasies for the video, but I think that If it was shot, it would resulted with straight BAN ! Hahah. — Tomica (talk) 18:06, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Lol, I would have made it really colourful and cake like lol. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 20:54, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

I guess it would be similar to the S&M one. I know you like it and Matsoukas works. I hate her :D. I am more Mandler style, and Dave Meyers its also great. "WHYB" a masterpiece. — Tomica (talk) 22:00, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Lol. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 22:23, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 April newsletter

Round 2 of this year's WikiCup is over, and so we are down to our final 32, in what could be called our quarter-finals. The two highest scorers from each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers overall, have entered round 3, while 30 participants have been eliminated. Pool B's Grapple X (submissions) remains our top scorer with over 700 points; he continues to gain high numbers of points for his good articles on The X-Files, but also Millennium and other subjects. He has also gained points for a good topic, a featured list, multiple good article reviews and several did you knows. Pool E's Casliber (submissions) was second, thanks primarily to his biology articles, with Pool H's Muboshgu (submissions) coming in third, with an impressive 46 did you knows, mostly on the subject of baseball. Casliber and Cwmhiraeth both scored over 600 points. Pools E and H proved our most successful, with each seeing 5 members qualify for round 3, while Pools C and D were the least, with each seeing only 3 reach round 3. However, it was Pool G which saw the lowest scoring, with a little under 400 points combined; Pool H, the highest scoring group, saw over triple that score.

65 points was the lowest qualifying score for round 3; significantly higher than the 11 required to enter round 2, and also higher than the 41 required to reach round 3 last year. However, in 2010, 100 points were needed to secure a place in round 3. 16 will progress to round 4. In round 3, 150 points was the 16th highest score, though, statistically, people tend to up their game a little in later rounds. Last year, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 points were needed. Guessing how many points will be required is not easy. We still have not seen any featured portals or topics this year, but, on the subject of less common content types, a small correction needs to be made to the previous newsletter: File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg, our first featured picture, was the work of both Matthewedwards (submissions) and Grandiose (submissions), the latter of whom has also gone on to score with File:Map of the Battle of Guam, 1944.svg. Bonus points also continue to roll in; this round, Ealdgyth (submissions) earned triple points for her good articles on William the Conqueror and the Middle Ages, Casliber and Cwmhiraeth both earned triple points for their work on Western Jackdaw, now a good article, Dana Boomer (submissions) earned triple points for her work on lettuce and work by Stone (submissions) to ready antimony for good article status earned him triple points. Jarry1250 (submissions) managed to expand Vitus Bering far enough for a did you know, which was also worth triple points. All of these highly important topics featured on 50 or more Wikipedias at the start of the year.

An article on the WikiCup in the Wikimedia Blog, "Improving Wikipedia with friendly competition", was posted at the end of April. This may be of interest to those who are signed up to this newsletter, as well as serving as another way to draw attention to our project. Also, we would again like to thank Jarry1250 (submissions) and Stone (submissions), for continued help behind the scenes. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Where have you been

Where have you been is the first song to ever reach 4.9 million views in 24 hours. I Think this should be added to her 2011- present page.--Braina90 (talk) 18:24, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Again we need source for that. Can you give me? I will add it then. — Tomica (talk) 19:21, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Get on it. We need to talk. — Statυs (talk) 20:58, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

On it — Statυs (talk) 19:36, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Singles tables

You know how for the albums I've put the peak for each year, do you think the same should be done for the singles? Or the singles which charted at the end and start of two different years? Or just the one peak like on Who's That Chick? ? Aaron • ^{You Da One} 15:23, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Yeah. I think it should have been done the same. And to be honest for the Year-end charts I would prefer as it is in "Disturbia". Two tables and also better access. 16:27, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Yeah I haven't done it for the year end on that article yet. So you think that for example if a song peaked at 10 in 2010 and 1 in 2011 in the UK, that the UK should be in both the 2010 and 2011 tables? Aaron • ^{You Da One} 16:35, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Yeah. In that case readers can have better access with the peaks, you know... ascending/descending. Btw good luck with number 7 ;) ! — Tomica (talk) 16:41, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Lol thanks. Btw I did a 2006/2007 with Break It Off. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 16:47, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Yeah. This has not good access. You know what I mean. — Tomica (talk) 16:53, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Yeah I know. I've re-vamped Raining Men (song) entirely, I'll do Man Down next. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 16:55, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

I am pretty sure you can find more information about "Man Down". — Tomica (talk) 16:57, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

yeah. it made 2012 appearances in France and Sweden. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 17:10, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Problems with singles chronology?

When was Take Care released? The article says Feb 21, but it's currently sitting between Princess of China and Birthday Cake, which were both released after. An IP was screwing them up. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 13:38, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

What can I say, these IP's are driving me crazy ! I am in lack of time, but I will try to find some radio release for "Take Care" ASPS. — Tomica (talk) 21:30, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Lost In The World

Hey Tomica,

I actually wanted to know, why you're deleting the changes, I did to 'Lost In The World' article! I was just refreshing it, since a Official Cover, Remix & Music Video leaked! :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jizzy30 (talk • contribs) 15:17, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Because I don't see that it was release as a single, because there is not official release radio or digital date. Is there one? — Tomica (talk) 15:22, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

It was announced as a Single, a few months ago, I think! But the Cover is official (okay it's just for the Remix, but it's still official) & the Versions I posted were also official! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jizzy30 (talk • contribs) 20:32, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk That Talk

Is becoming a right mess. The lead is huge and someone has been hacking away at the Background and made it into four massive subsections. This album might have to be done next, and soon. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 11:38, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Yeah. I am finishing "Cry Me a River" like for two days and then we can start to work on it. How is the plan with your exams? — Tomica (talk) 17:00, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Ok. What plan? Lol. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 17:20, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Lol. I meant would you be able to edit this period? Or maybe I work on some sections, than you, than overall c/e? — Tomica (talk) 18:00, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

After wednesday i have a few days free. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 18:38, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

GA notice

GA Notice
Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I am glad to be reviewing the article Loud (Rihanna album) in which you've been a major contributor, and has been 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. --(CA)Giacobbe (talk) 10:35, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
· · ·

Sure. Thanks for reviewing it again. ;) — Tomica (talk) 19:19, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi. As you are a major contributor to this article, can you comment on the change I'm proposing here? Dan56 (talk) 20:15, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Chart peaks

So are we changing the tables to include both the 2011/2012 peak for example? Obviously changes depending on the song. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 12:08, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Well I think that's a good idea. We can do that. Although it's tough work. What do you think? — Tomica (talk) 12:10, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

I've done it on a few, like Raining Men and Birthday Cake. I haven't on Who's That Chick for example. Because to me if there is a 2011 and 2012 table, each should have that countries peak position for that year. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 12:20, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, its same too me. We gonna apply it to all Rihanna's articles. — Tomica (talk) 13:34, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, well only ones that were released at the end of the year really. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 13:39, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Right ;) ! — Tomica (talk) 13:49, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Why don't we include the UK Digital Chart? Aaron • ^{You Da One} 14:03, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

I was not aware of that chart, cause tbh I never saw it in an article. If there isn't a restriction rule, like with some US charts, I don't see why we can't use it. — Tomica (talk) 14:09, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Well the new UK Streaming Chart has been added to articles so I don't see why the UK Digital Chart can't be added. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 14:11, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Can you find a booklet online for me please? I can't find it anywhere. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 12:20, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Sure, I will try. Which album? — Tomica (talk) 12:28, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Overcome (Alexandra Burke album). "The Silence (song)" is the only single not logged on ASCAP or BMI :-/ Aaron • ^{You Da One} 12:31, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Nothing. Sorry I tried my best, looked for all the torrents, but with no success. The booklet is not there. Maybe eventually this can help, but I doubt. — Tomica (talk) 12:49, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

That's okay thanks. I need the credits and personnel, I might leave a not on WP:Songs Aaron • ^{You Da One} 12:52, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Anytime, and yeah, I guess that's a good idea ;) !— Tomica (talk) 12:57, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Rihanna videography

Hi Tomica, I've begun the copy-edit on the above article you requested at the GOCE request page. Please feel free to correct or revert my edits if I'm doing something I shouldn't be. I'm sorry you've had to wait so long for the copy-edit. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 01:38, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Done - I hope it's okay for you, good luck with your FL nomination. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 03:41, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, the article now is fully lifted :). I appreciate your help. I am satisfied with the c/e, however, can you c/e also this sentence "Unfaithful" was Rihanna's first collaboration with Mandler, who later became her regular collaborator.? According to The Rambling Man collaborate its repeated. Thanks again. — Tomica (talk) 09:40, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks :-) Yes I can reword that sentence; I wasn't certain how to rephrase that sentence. I guess later they regularly worked together would be okay. edit - Done. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 22:42, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
