Citation errors

Hi Carlosmarkos2345. Thanks for adding certifications Wikipedia was missing, your contributions are appreciated. However, there are some recurring errors you are making which I needed to correct, the most important being citation errors. If you leave the article without a working citation, the certification cannot be verified which undermines the purpose of Wikipedia. Let me list some of the corrections I needed to make by way of example:

In this edit you added a Spain certification but didn't provide the source. There are three ways to add sources for Spanish certifications and the simplest one is to provide |artist= and |title=, as I did Special:Diff/1232335898, after verifying it is working. Other citation methods can be seen in the {{Certification Table Entry}} documentation.
In this edit you used the incorrect artist name so the citation didn't work. This is the corrected version.
In this edit you added an old RIAA certification but the citation is incorrect since the title was not the one being used by the RIAA database. I corrected it here.
In this edit you added another old RIAA certification but the citation didn't work. I corrected it by working around the ' sign here.
In this edit you used the incorrect artist name so the citation failed. Corrected here
You used {{Certification Table Bottom}} template incorrectly several times. The bottom template should match the footnotes used in the table itself. An example of how I corrected it can be seen here.
You used the incorrect |caption= "Sales and certifications for X". If you don't override the sales amount using |salesamount= and |salesref=, the caption should be "Certifications for X".
In almost all your edits, you are using |access-date= incorrectly. This parameter is for "Full date when the content pointed to by url was last verified to support the text in the article", see for example {{cite web}}.

There were also other minor errors but I Think this is enough to chew on. I recommend that you use the preview button and make sure your citations are working before submitting an edit, or, at the very least, check the citation after you submit the edit. If you need any assistance, {{ping}} me or leave me a message on my talk page and I'd be happy to help. --Muhandes (talk) 07:05, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the efforts you made on your recent edits, but please review your edits and make sure the citations work. In this edit, made recently, the citation didn't work and I needed to correct it. The RIAA database is quite finicky and you sometimes need to massage the title and artist until the citation works. Muhandes (talk) 11:12, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You continue to mean well, but sadly, you also continue not checking your citations. The resulting citation of this edit for the Spanish database doesn't work. This is the correct citation. I really don't want to stalk you, so I'm not going to do that anymore (unless you come up on one of the maintenance categories again). Just please pay more attention and check your citations. My offer for help still stands, {{ping}} me or leave me a message. Happy editing. Muhandes (talk) 09:26, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are forcing the community's hand to do something about this situation.

This source doesn't work. Corrected here. Also, the bottom of the table is wrong, corrected here.
I had to correct this source too. The bottom template was also incorrect
This source was incorrect, and as you can see, other editors will revert a non-working source. I corrected it here but this is not acceptable.
The bottom table template was wrong 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 times !!!

I am starting to think that there is a problem of competence here. Maybe you have good intentions, but you are not competent enough to edit in a net positive manner. You create too much work that others have to clean up. Also, note that Communication is required. Wikipedia is a collaborative project. Sometimes, you must engage in constructive discussions with others or you risk sanctions. Your heart is in the correct place, but if you continue to create so much work for the community to fix, and are not willing to communicate, perhaps you should not be editing.

Oasis - best selling music artists

Hi there how are you doing ?. I noticed you moved Nirvana up a few places on the grid due to more certifications than the bands below them. Can you also move Oasis up as well please ?. They are placed in the wrong spot also. I cannot do it myself. Would you be able to help me out please ?. Do have any sources for Oasis from SP, BR and AUS please ?.

Disambiguation link notification for July 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of best-selling singles, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wanted Dead or Alive. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

August 2024

Hello, I'm Smuckola. I noticed that you recently removed content from 64DD without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Saying Donkey Kong 64 doesn't exist or that or the 64DD project didn't exist, was nonsense.[1] Do not delete WP:RSes for almost any reason. You've been given lots of warnings of other blockable offenses. BTW, that nonsense was the rare time you ever used an WP:EDITSUMMARY but they are required. Among your many very good edits, why are you sometimes deleting random words from song titles?[2][3] — Smuckola (talk) 06:59, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Citation errors, MOS errors, template usage errors

Is there anything I can do to help explain this better? You keep making these errors and I keep needing to spend time to correct them: Special:Diff/1239670337/1239673497, Special:Diff/1239669981/1239673458. --Muhandes (talk) 20:01, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop messing up references

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at (Don't Fear) The Reaper.

@Ad Orientem: I see you're currently active, maybe you can get this editor attention. Thanx, - FlightTime (open channel) 21:30, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Carlosmarkos2345 A lot of your edits are difficult to grasp what you are doing. Some appear to be disruptive. Please slow down and explain what you are doing with an edit summary. I don't enjoy blocking people, but some of your edits look problematic and you have not responded to any of the messages left here. -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:57, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Malformed citations

Your comment here shows you might be misunderstanding the problem. No one every said you are lying. We are saying you are not providing proper sources. You obviously know how to do it so maybe you just don't care about Wikipedia policies and guidelines or about other editors' time? We have to correct so many of your citations. --Muhandes (talk) 21:55, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems myself and other editors keep criticizing your work but we don't offer any remedy, so allow me to offer my help again. Just answer here and I will be happy to show you in greater details what you are doing wrong. --Muhandes (talk) 21:57, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Continuing to add unsourced material - Third warning

This edit is unsourced. Third warning. I know it's actually more like the ninth warning, but I'm going to count to four again before I report this on ANI. Muhandes (talk) 19:10, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Continuing to disregard requests to use template correctly - Third Warning

This series of edits misuses {{Certification Table Bottom}} by adding |nosales=true, although sales footnotes are used. I know it's actually more like the ninth warning, but I'm going to count to four again before I report this on ANI, here is your third warning to use templates correctly. As always, I'm here to help if you need it. Muhandes (talk) 12:16, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Same here, using shipments footnotes but adding |noshipments=true. As always, I am available if you need help understanding how this template works, but continuing to misuse will be a testimony of lack of competence. --Muhandes (talk) 12:26, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Same here. You are not using shipments footnotes, so |noshipments=true is required. Does the pattern emerge? You misusing the template and me cleaning up after you? --Muhandes (talk) 12:30, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Better source request for File:O Inimitável - album cover.jpg

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

File:O Inimitável - album cover.jpg

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete or generic. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact source (such as the web page, or printed document) where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain, search engine, pinboard, aggregator, or the direct/bare URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. — Ирука¹³ 02:23, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
