Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or ←sock puppetry
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hi, I don't know if you have seen this - https://topdisco.blogspot.com/search?q=Abba&m=1 but this a list of music certifications in Portugal that have happened in the past. Apparently it comes from this book "Os Profissionais do Disco. Um Estudo da Indústria Fonográfica em Portugal" by José Soares Neves. He had full access thanks to certification bodies from that time. I would still like to see it directly and not through a blog. I have tried to contact him but had no response. Apparently it is in some libraries in Portugal. So if you have some better online access maybe you could find it out. Of course if you have time. Good day. Dhoffryn (talk) 09:47, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dhoffryn. Yes I've seen this blog in the past. According to Worldcat, at least four U-Libraries have the book. Trying to contact them could be potentially a resource or even try here in Wikipedia. Regarding ScreenRant at the highest-attended concerts, I also tend to believe they have no authority for record sales, but I guess WP:CONTEXTMATTERS could potentially apply sometimes.

Hello, I hope you're well. I'm trying to find an old discussion on a Talk page here on Wikipedia about music certifications in Brazil, where it was mentioned that a Roberto Carlos album was certified 12x diamond . Someone said they had contacted PMB, which clarified that sales are counted based on the actual date they occurred, not the year of certification. I'm looking for this because a fan of Xuxa has been adding sales data to the Portuguese Wikipedia based solely on the release year and combining physical sales with certification numbers. I need proof that the sales are indeed counted based on the release date. Do you happen to remember if this conversation was with you? If not, I apologize. Thank you in advance.

Hi Markus WikiEditor. I'm doing well, thanks, and I hope the same for you! I don't remember participated in threads for Latin or other regional certifications setups. Have you already tried to find the thread in Wikiprojects of Latin Music, or at the talk of the template about certs? In any case, you might ask Muhandes. Cheers --Apoxyomenus (talk) 05:05, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.I'm going to look for it and ask Muhandes. Markus WikiEditor (talk) 15:39, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for butting in but that conversation I believe it could have been in between TheWikiholic and Muhandes users. Here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Certification_Table_Entry/Archive_12#h-PMB_certifications_levels-20241202140500 Dhoffryn (talk) 15:50, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's it! Thanks! I think the guy made a mistake in the multiplication, he was supposed to multiply by 300 and not by 600... Anyway, this is still confusing. Markus WikiEditor (talk) 17:08, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Same here. It just seemed like a huge amount. Harout user while he was still active here suggested that he had a suspiction that newer certifications could have been going by certification dates (Whitney and one of her singles was in question) but I have lost track what really goes on anyways.

Fanoflionking3 Good caught. I would implement your further suggestions once I'm available. Thanks, --Apoxyomenus (talk) 16:53, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
