		Thanks for your numerous contributions to Australian music pages, which I keep coming across (even if I do misread your name as "Jesus" quite frequently)! Laterthanyouthink (talk) 06:24, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Awwww thank you. 🙏. Tobyjamesaus (talk) 09:13, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tobyjamesaus. Just wanted to let you know that instead of using {{cite Ryan}} inside {{Certification Table Entry}}, you can use |source=book and |id=page# to get the same effect, like I did here. Enjoy editing! --Muhandes (talk) 07:43, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Toby, you've disregarded Muhandes telling you this like 10 times since. You're still doing it. You can just use source=book and id=(page number) in the certification entry template. You don't need to use certref= with a hard-coded citation. Also, while I'm here, please stop using semicolons to bold headings. Use bold markup with three apostrophes per WP:PSEUDOHEAD. Also, <br /> (note the space and slash) should not be changed to <br> per H:BR. MediaWiki software handles the space+slash better, and changes <br> to <br /> anyway, so there's no point in changing it. Ss112 08:07, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Another shortcut you can use is for New Zealand certifications from the archived radioscope website. Simply use |source=archive instead of overriding the source with a long citation. --Muhandes (talk) 15:25, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year!

Tobyjamesaus,
Have a prosperous, productive and enjoyable New Year, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. See this for background context.

You will have noticed that AC/DC discography is a FLC. In preparation for submitting the list, with co-nominator VAUGHAN J. (TALK), we discussed whether High Voltage (1976) should be put into a Compilation albums table. I referred to previous discussions at AC/DC's talk page archive. It was determined to leave the album in the discography list, which typically shows only Studio albums. Consequently it was left in the Studio albums table.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 08:28, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it back, since the international album is classified as a studio album, not a compilation album. It does 2 tracks have the Australian version of High Voltage and the T.N.T. album. — VAUGHAN J. (TALK) 08:46, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shaidar cuebiyar, I didn't realise this had already been discussed so intensely (a decade ago). It seems like it got quite personal too... not good. I really appreciate you linking me to that chat. thanks. For the record, I believe it's a compilation album (for the reasons I put in the talk on the AC/DC talk page archive). Maybe the topic will be revisited at some stage. who knows. Thanks Tobyjamesaus (talk) 06:10, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tobyjamesaus. You added a 5× Platinum certification for "I'm on Fire" in this edit. I am looking at the source, and I see a 5× Platinum certification, but it is supposedly for "Fire", not for "I'm on Fire". Did you have reason to believe ARIA staff made a clerical error or was this just a mistake? In Bruce Springsteen discography both songs have this certification, which is obviously wrong. Note that if we are unsure, ARIA staff are usually quite responsive and we can ask them. --Muhandes (talk) 10:19, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Muhandes, thanks for this, I assumed it was "I'm on Fire" based on the higher chart position and legacy of that song, but I agree, it's unlikely it's both. Perhaps clarifying from ARIA is the best way to go? Are you happy to do that? Tobyjamesaus (talk) 10:25, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I "fired" an email their way (ha ha). I'll let you know if ARIA answers. For the time being, I hope you don't mind if I stick to the sources and assume this is for "Fire", as written. Muhandes (talk) 13:43, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

) totally understandable. Thanks for letting me know - and let me know how you go :)

Tobyjamesaus (talk) 13:44, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Just to let you know, ARIA returned to me after they re-checked it, and the certification is for "Fire". They even sent me a screenshot of the form filled by the label (Sony Music), showing the catalogue number and title. Happy editing! Muhandes (talk) 06:35, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Amazing Muhandes. Thank you SO MUCH for following that up and getting back to me. Really appreciate it. Re certifications - how good would it be if ARIA did a portal or something like BPI, where you can search for a title or artist ?!. Anywho, thanks again Tobyjamesaus (talk) 09:56, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for adding ARIA peaks. Regarding Celine Dion, her Imgur.com link includes only albums. Do you have a link for Dion's singles too? I would love to see it :) Max24 (talk) 12:54, 19 July 2024 (UTC) Hi Max24, I do have all the singles as well. Most of them up to top 200 are on wiki already, but there are some lower ones as well. it's not on imgur (yet). Is there an email address or something I can it to instead?[reply]

I got it! Thank you so much! :) Max24 (talk) 13:21, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
