message: "Furtado and Timbaland also channel the 1982 Hall & Oates number one hit (U.S.) of the same name without the use of sampling."  
:They're awfully clever, but could this be said a little less cryptically?  I have no idea what the author is trying to explain.  And I won't attempt to rewrite it without a source.  Did Furtado or Timbaland make this claim?   Rossrs 16:45, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Cover

message: 10 hits? The U.S. airplay chart is very R&B, rhythmic and hip hop-based, but it's called the Hot 100 Airplay. I don't see the "U.S. R&B Airplay Chart" anywhere there. What makes you think the Canadian airplay chart has to have "pop" in there to verify that it's genre-specific? What other excuses do you have to not permit its inclusion? For someone who has this page watch-listed, I don't see a response anywhere. Velten 23:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Because you claim to have this page watch-listed, I'm going to assume you've been ignoring this discussion. I'm restoring the airplay chart as a result. Velten 16:01, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Up until now I've avoided replying on this page to Velten. A user who insists on following me and other users to articles and performing piddling, often nonsensical edits and starting disputes for the sole intention of irritating those editors is a disturbing user indeed. Plus the fact that he denies any wrongdoing whatsoever, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. But you had to keep picking away, didn't you Velten? I'll keep this brief: you wrote "Restore pop airplay chart; you can go take it up with Jam! or Nielsen BDS if you don't think it's genre-specific."  - So I did. According to http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/Charts/BDS_1.html, the airplay chart lists "[t]he top played radio tracks in Canada compiled from a national sample of radio stations collected, compiled, and provided by Nielsen BDS." But hang on ... there's no mention of pop or any other genre anywhere on the page. And if all radio stations in the U.S. except R&B/rhythmic/hip hop ones played nothing but, say, country music for a week, the top few slots on the Hot 100 Airplay would be occupied by country songs, not R&B/rhythmic/hip hop, because the Hot 100 Airplay isn't genre-specific. And neither is the Canada Airplay Hits Chart, the top five slots of which are currently occupied by rock songs. All of this is irrelevant, though, when we consider the real reason you're making such a huge song-and-dance about this. I shouldn't have to warn you about the consequences of being deliberately and persistently disruptive on this or any other page. Extraordinary Machine 17:24, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it is true that the current top five positions are occupied by rock songs... I guess I'll have to do some investigation. Keep publicizing, and as I said before, I will edit a music-related page whether it's on your watchlist or not. Velten 01:26, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Canadian pop airplay

message: Though the recent edits by  have done much to improve the article, I believe that they have introduced several problems. Statements such as "The lyrics describe a maneater, a seductive woman who seduces men in order to take control of their lives" are original research if not accompanied by citations. Citations have been removed or replaced without the content the citations supported being deleted or edited accordingly, and some are misrepresenting the content of the source — for example, http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1566507/20070807/timberlake_justin.jhtml does not mention that the MTV Video Music Award went to Fergie, only that Furtado was nominated in the same category. Also, MTV Central's Total Request Live is not the same as the U.S. version, which is what the popfusion/ATRL.net archives cover, and some of the citations are not formatted correctly. Again, I don't want to belittle Igordebraga's contributions, but in its current state, the article does not meet the good article criteria. Extraordinary Machine 21:48, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recent edits and good article nomination 

message: Upon its review on October 23, 2007, this good article nomination was quick-failed because it:
::contains cleanup banners including, but not limited to, , , , , etc, or large numbers of , , , or similar tags
thus making it ineligible for good article consideration.
This article did not receive a thorough review, and may not meet other parts of the good article criteria.  The article is actually very strong and well-referenced.  But all those tags need to be addressed first. I encourage you to remedy this problem (and any others) and resubmit it for consideration.  If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to have it reassessed.  Thank you for your work so far.--Esprit15d 13:22, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have addressed all of the above issues and have re-nominated this article to see if there is anything else that needs to be improved. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 16:10, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Failed "good article" nomination

message: Well, since there are no longer any cleanup tags, I can give this article a more thorough review. While the article is well-written, there are two issues that need fixing before I promote the article. 
1) There are some formatting problems with the references. The rule for footnotes is: period - quote - footnote - space - new sentence. Some of the footnotes in the body are not formatted in this way and need fixing. Also, footnotes should be at the end of the sentence if possible. If a sentence has two footnotes, one can be put in the middle, but in sentences with just one, it should be at the end.
2) The lead needs expansion. The lead should 'mirror' the entire article, that is, be sort of like a summarized version of the body. At the moment, all that is mentioned is the single's performance and a brief description of who wrote it and its influences. However, the body of the article also discusses the single's critical reception and the music video. These also need to be mentioned in the lead. However, I would not make the lead longer than three paragraphs, so perhaps try to integrate the critical reception into the first lead paragraph already present, and write a new one for the music video. 
Once these issues are resolved, I will promote the article. Zeus1234 14:30, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, Could you please expand on the the rule for footnotes, I didn't quite understand it. I will try to address these issues as soon as possible. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 14:36, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Example:  He said "hello."f Next sentence begins.f The previous one is for sentences without quotes. This is correct referencing. All references at the end of the sentence should be like this.Zeus1234 14:57, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, thanks. I'm working on it now. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 15:04, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: GA Review (again)

message: I just wanted to mention that there's a blip in the music video: at 4:37 to 4:38 (Furtado (or her double) is dancing on a table in the club) Nelly is missing both arms.
I didn't want to insert this and then be the reason why the article didn't get promoted to a good article, but I do think that should be mentioned.91.15.230.125 20:01, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  missing arms in video 

message: The album article mentions a Lil Wayne remix released on Furtado's website, but this article does not mention it at all, not even in passing. Should at least a short sentence be included? Fixer23 (talk) 08:04, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
