[edit] Celine Dion Recording Dates

You told me that I am vandalizing by changing when Celine Dion recorded her albums and that you knew more about it than me. Well your wrong about one of them because according to you A New Day Has Come was recorded 2001-2002. It was not!! It says on her official website here is the link to the page saying so [1]It says" Céline's upcoming album, ' A New Day Has Come' was recorded at Studio Piccolo in Montreal during the autumn months of 2001." If you dare say that Im vandalizing when I change it to 2001 I can glady give prove that Im not.

[edit] Celine Dion Sales

Hey Chris you have done a good job on the album and singles page for Celine Dion. It must have taken a lot of work. I just think though that the total worlwide sales for each of the albums might be off. I think sometimes they are too much. Before these pages were put we had much lower album sales and the ones you have are much higher. I know you probaly meant the best because a lot of sources seem to be inaccurate, so I know its probably not your fault. It's not that Im trying to critize you its websites that dont put accurate information. I mean over the years it seems to have changed drastically. It was about 100 million albums at most in 2000 and then in 2004 she went all the way to 175 million!! Im writing such a long paragraph because you seem someone who really likes Celine Dion and Im sure you would want the most accurate information and make the discography as best as possible. --Interestedscholar 23:31, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Celine Dion

Hey Max24 or Chris whatever one you want. Im sorry about changing the dates that Celine Dion recorded her french albums because now I see in All Music Guide that it says those dates that you have been putting up. So sorry about that.

[edit] Celine Dion

Hi Max24. I'm Orane (or Journalist, as I'm known on Wikipedia). I just want to introduce myself, and thank you for all the hard work you have been doing on "Celine Dion". I wish you were around when I was writing that article; we could have been a great team :). Anyway, thanks again. Feel free to ask me for help with anything (I'm usually away during the days though).

I'm a huge Celine fan myself. My mom loves her too. I remember when I was young, my mom owned one album from Celine — Falling In to You — and believe it or not, she used to play the record every single day lol. (That's how I grew to love Celine). When my mom had more money to spare, she bought Colour of My Love and All the Way.

Anyway, that's enough from me. Hope you continue to contribute. I'll give you this honorary award as encouragement. Orane (talk • cont.) 03:14, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A L'Olympia / À l'Olympia

Hello... just wondering why you reverted my move of this article? The name "À l'Olympia" (with the accent, and lower case l) is used throughout the text, so surely the article title should reflect that? Loganberry (Talk) 23:51, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I Believe in You (Je Crois en Toi)

Thank you for your contributions to I Believe in You (Je Crois en Toi). Some edits have been made to the article in order to bring it into harmony with Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Please familiarize yourself with the guidelines shown there. All edits that do not follow these guidelines have been changed to match what our MoS recommends. Wikipedia does not require writers to follow all or any of these rules, but their efforts will be more appreciated when they do so. Extraordinary Machine 16:25, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Le Ballet

It may be that, as you put it, this song "is very important... in Celine Dion's discography"; however, the article itself makes no assertion of that importance, and without an explanation of what that importance is, the article may be nominated for deletion. Please review the proposed notability guidelines for songs, bearing particularly in mind that, as the proposed guidelines state, "there is consensus that the vast majority of songs do not deserve an article specifically devoted to them." --Rrburke 15:01, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] It's All Coming Back to Me Now

Hello. Could you please take care when making ammendements to this article. I've spent hours on it, and it's been/going through peer review and is a good article candidate. The JPS^{talk to me} 10:03, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and would you consider using th epreview button, rather than making loads of small edits. And please don't remove the ciations, as you have to the reviews section. The JPS^{talk to me} 10:06, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

And why this removal exactly? Please stop removing things. The JPS^{talk to me} 10:08, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I have removed much of what you added because an independent reviewer has deemed it as non-notable. Indeed, as a result of that excessive chart information, it has failed criteria 3 of the good article criteria, which I've been working hard to get it to over the last month. I appreciate that you have attempted to make the artilce better... that's great... but on this occassion I'd be grateful if you don't make any further major changes without discussing it first.

[edit] Celine Dion

Max, Thanks for your hard work on the Celine Dion song articles. I have noticed several formatting issues with them however, and I have made some changes but decided that you may want to take care of these yourself (if not, I can continue to clean them up). Please take note of several formatting style guides within Wikipedia, particularly WP:SONGS and WP:MUSIC/TABLE. Per Wikipedia's Manual of Style, album titles are italicized and song titles are "quoted". Also chart tables should use the "wikitable" template and should not include the boldfacing of chart positions. I can work with you on correcting these if you wish, just let me know. Thanks! - eo 13:02, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just a tip :)

I would like to thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thanks again. -- lucasbfr ^talk 13:02, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Celine Template

Hi Orane, is there a chance that you could add Celine Template

v • d • e Celine Dion
Albums | Singles | Videography | Tours | Awards

at the bottom of the Celine Dion main page?

With time I have created many new pages about Celine's singles, albums, videos and tours. It would be easier for Wikipedia visitors with this Template on the first page (I think). So, what would you say?

Max24 02:08, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it's not convention to place the template at the bottom of the main articles (even though some poorly written articles do it) because the links in these templates are already linked to in the main article. However, you can put the template at the bottoms of other articles, like Celine Dion awards and discography etc. Orane (talk • cont.) 03:16, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

To try and make it up, I've added the links in the template to the main article. Orane (talk • cont.) 03:25, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A New Day... copyright violations

Hi Max,

Welcome to wikipedia. We appreciate the active editing and contributions you have made to the community. However, please make sure the material that you so painstakingly wikified and transcribed are not copyrighted. I had to remove much of the information on A New Day... because they were pulled directly off of http://www.celinedion.com/anewday/english/about.html and related pages. If you have any questions, leave a message on either my Talk page or on the Discussion page for the topic. Happy editing!

[edit] Tour articles

Good job on the Céline Dion tour articles, especially the earlier, more obscure ones. Wasted Time R 16:13, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Hi, love the work you are doing on the Celine Dion-related articles. Just a suggestion, however: do not refer to singers/artists by their first name— it is unprofessional and informal. Thanks, and again, great job. 74.108.0.151 06:59, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Celine Dion picture

If it were up to me, I'd agree to the picture being changed, but I can't. Recently, efforts to avoid copyright violations on Wikipedia have heightened (see Wikipedia:Fair use criteria). Apparently, you cannot use a copyrighted/fair-use image (like Image:Cd6.jpg) when a "free image" (like this one from Wikimedia Commons) is available, because that constitutes a copyright vio. (Also, pictures of singers on album covers should be used to depict the single/album in question and not the artist. Make sense?) I feel the same way though —the present picture at the Celine Dion page is ugly. But unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to change it, especially because Celine Dion is a featured article, and should be a model article for others. Not that it will change anything, but other featured articles, like Mariah Carey, Phil Collins, Kylie Minogue have ugly pictures from Wiki Commons :-D.

Even though I'm an Administrator, you don't have to take my word for it. I advise you to get a second (or third) opinion if you aren't convinced by my reply. Other Admins you can go to include User:Extraordinary Machine or User:Rossrs. Cheers. Orane (talk • cont.) 04:02, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] At Last

Regarding the At Last article, the Dion version is neither the most popular nor most notable version of the song. Giving it its own infobox and skimpy paragraph is not necessary and provides a stilted view of the song's history. If you'd like, you could expand on the Etta James version and then add the Dion information in a separate article. Volatile 17:49, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I suggest you read WP:NOT. A similar situation happened with Mariah Carey's version of "Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To)." It was not the most notable version of the song, but the Carey fans settled on (after long debate with other editors) a mention in a separate section. Even if I expanded the James version, Dion's version is not notable enough to deserve its own infobox. Volatile 18:17, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Actually Volatile, it is notable enough. Max, as per "I'll Be There," "Without You," "Bringing on the Heartbreak," and a host of other songs, you can add an infobox to the "At Last" article for Celine Dion's version if there is sufficient information to place inside it.

PS: I'll add the new info to the Celine Dion aricle when I find the time. You can do it too if you want. Cheers! Orane (talk • cont.) 03:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

• Merely stating that it is notable isn't enough; what are the grounds for this claim? --Mel Etitis (Talk) 23:07, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Celine Dion awards and accomplishments

Hi

I noticed you removed the unreferenced template from the top of this page. This is a valid template to use on pages where there are claims that are not backed up with sources. I have re-added the template, please don't remove it again until all claims in the article are sourced.

Cheers  Funky Monkey  (talk)  20:27, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Once again you have removed the unverified template on this page. ALL claims on this page have to have a source. Please do not remove the template again until ALL claims have been sourced.  Funky Monkey  (talk)  03:48, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal Reporting

I'd suggest adding the following report to another page, such as WP:ANI. WP:AIV is for simple vandalism reports. Regards, alphachimp 01:51, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

* 68.203.151.76 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • RDNS • RBLs • block user • block log) A person from this IP has made numerous nonsens edits in Celine Dion related articles (even after last warning): Live in Memphis, Falling into You Tour, Celine Dion, In Some Small Way, A New Day... and others. And it's not the first time. The same edits were made earlier by this IP 72.177.198.57. Can you block this user? Max24 02:46, 02 March 2007 (UTC)

You'll probably find WP:AIV much faster in dealing with clear vandalism. Xiner (talk, email) 02:18, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cœur

Hi, I originally moved the Au Cœur Du Stade page to the title that includes the ligature because that’s how it is found on the artwork. I see that you reverted that though and offered some weird excuse. The page has been moved back to Cœur because it’s clear that the image does not spell it Coeur, but Cœur. Check for yourself, the image does not lie. --Noé Æ 18:16, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Céline Dion

Hi Max24. I've noticed you doing a lot of work on the Céline Dion stuff, and I'd like to take chance to introduce myself. I'm Dan, and I'm from Wales, United Kingdom. I have eight years' French study, and am currently a Computer Science student. I have a question actually. Did you want the lyrics links re-adding, such as in 1 Fille & 4 Types? They were removed for some reason, and I'm not sure why (you tend not to put edit information). I can re-add them and try and put them on the other albums if you want. I also agree with the change to "Au Cœur Du Stade" from "Au Coeur Du Stade", for the record. I still think "Celine Dion" should be moved to "Céline Dion" with a redirect. --Dancraggs 01:40, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

That's fine, mate. Was just wanting to know your view on the issue :-) If you need a hand with anything just gimme a shout! --Dancraggs 05:43, Monday April 9, 2007 (UTC)
