The search link Doggy54321 sent me had insource:chartdata. There was no explanation of why or how he knew the phrase "chartdata" would be on all the pages we wanted to edit. The only other constant was "Mariah-charts.com", so, for the new search I tried using "Madonna-charts.com" to replace chartdata. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. 48Pills (talk) 01:22, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

@48Pills: I totally get! I'm trying to find other ways to narrow down our searches! I'll let you know if I find anything! Jack Reynolds (talk to me!) (email me!!) 01:30, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Insource works to find your text in a source. If I wanted to see how many articles on Wikipedia used a reference to Billboard, for example, I would either use {{in source|billboard.com}}, producing All pages with source code containing "billboard.com", or I would type "insource:billboard.com" in the search bar. Now, this is going to work like Google. It takes all the separate words and tries to find sources that match as many of these words as possible. Therefore, the results may be inaccurate. Using the Billboard example, it shows me all the matches that had as many key words as possible, but then it also might show me stuff I don’t want. Example: if there’s a source that is identical to the code {{cite web|url=example.com|title=A billboard in [[Times Square]]..., it might show up when I do my search, as it has ".com" in the url parameter and "billboard" in the title parameter. Now, it’s obviously not right to remove random sources that coincidentally came up with searching, so we need to use common sense to judge what should and shouldn’t be kept. I do spot checks of all the stricken-through (completed) sources at User:Doggy54321/sandbox2, so I’ll understand if you marked a site as closed even if there are still articles inside the insource link. I’ll obviously check these to make sure they’re unrelated, but don’t worry As well, I haven’t found anything that just takes the url, so this is our best (and only) option for now.

Doggy54321 Mariah-charts.com should be strikethroughed. (new word I just invented) 48Pills (talk) 03:21, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

@48Pills: Hahaha. I think the correct term is stricken-through (it came up the autocorrect tab even though I’ve never used it, so it must be a word). "Striked" isn’t a word, so I guess you would go to stricken, which is the past tense of strike. "He is about to strike this" and "He had stricken me" are grammatically correct. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyways, I’ll strike the text through. D🐶ggy54321 ^{(let's chat!)} 03:27, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Doggy54321 "insource:worldmusicawards" works. 48Pills (talk) 03:41, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

@Doggy54321 and 48Pills: First of all, Hahaha! Second of all, y'all just made my day! And third of all, Doggy54321, thank you for the clarification! 13:15, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Hey Jack! I just wanted to let you know that "You All Over Me" has not been confirmed as an official single yet. I saw you added it as a single, so I just wanted to clarify for you. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 ^{(let's chat!)} 17:32, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

@Doggy54321: So, the proper move is to remove it from the official single in the page, right? Jack Reynolds (talk to me!) (email me!!) 17:40, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Yes, and if you’ve made any other edits regarding the single status, remove those as well. I’ve already switched it to a promotional single at Draft:You All Over Me, for example. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 ^{(let's chat!)} 17:41, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello,

Please give a reason for why you keep undoing my edit. The lyric video is the ONLY place I've seen that does not include "(Taylor's Version)" in the title of You All Over Me. Her website, Spotify, Apple Music, and other sources all include "(Taylor's Version)" in the title.

2601:180:8200:63D0:D5D3:3B31:3C9C:F177, I understand where you are coming from, but, from sources that I've gathered (such as [1], [2], and [3]) it all has "You All Over Me" as "You All Over Me (From The Vault)" NOT "You All Over Me (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)". Wikipedia is based off of reliable sources and yes, Spotify is reliable and such, but, most of the articles I've gathered has what I have. Hope this helps! Jack Reynolds (talk to me!) (email me!!) 19:00, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

I’ve added a compromise into the article, where I added an EFN. In it, I listed both your alternate names, with two sources each to show that they are both widely used. If either of you disagrees with this, do not revert anymore (as you are both past 3RR today), ping me in this section and we can talk it out instead of reverting. Hope this helps! Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 ^{(let's chat!)} 21:33, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

@Doggy54321: First of all, sorry for starting an edit war-ish. And also, it looks good! Liked how you included both of the alternative names. I'm satisfied with it. Thank you for resolving the issue. Jack Reynolds (talk to me!) (email me!!) 12:07, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

That’s fine, you live and you learn! Edit warring is really draining and useless, and it’s always better to start a talk discussion. No problem, I wanted to deescalate the situation so everyone would stop with the reverting. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 ^{(let's chat!)} 12:35, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
