Hello! First of all, I would like to thank you so much for your "How You Get the Girl" GA review, it really helped the article and its quality. Just wanted to know if you can help me with any guidelines or something on how to add audio files. Thank you for offering that, it will actually help me a lot! :) Medxvo (talk) 18:22, 30 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I wanted to make a screen record, but I guess I'll just type it out and if you don't get it then I will make a screen recording.

Step 1 – download the song
  • To download a good/high quality song, I copy the songs link from Spotify ("Bad Blood") then I paste it on this website (SpotifyDown), which will generate a download link.
Step 2 – trim
  • After downloading the song, I use AudioTrimmer to trim/crop the song to produce a sample. Remember, the sample must be equal or less than 10% of the original song's length per WP:SAMPLE.
Step 3 – convert
  • After trimming the song, I use this website to convert the sample to .ogg format.

From here, everything is done on Wikipedia, simple and easy

Step 4
  • I create a red link using my sandbox. For example .
Step 5
  • Since I'm a mobile user, I long click the red link and open it (preferably via a new tab/window).
  • On a new tab/indow, I copy contents found on {{Music sample info}} then paste on the newly opened "red link tab". It will help me create a non-free just like cover arts.
  • After that, you just fill in the blanks and upload your sample (.ogg), click "upload," then you are done.

Content on {{Music sample info}}
{{subst:Music sample info
|song title =
|song length =
|reduced quality? =
|album article title =
|songwriter(s) =
|performer(s) =
|producer(s) =
|copyright year =
|record company =
|article title =}}

To avoid step 5
  • To make it easy for you, you can just copy the above "subst" then fill in the blanks to avoid step 5.

Step 6 – add sample to article
  • For this you can just copy and template from any other article which has the sample then add your own information. It's that easy.

I tried summarizing it for you to the best of my abilities. You can try by adding a sample for "How You Get the Girl" to see if you can get it right. Remember, I'll be with you every step of the way. Have fun! dxneo (talk) 03:01, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Dxneo, thank you so, so much for helping. I just added a sample for "How You Get the Girl" and added it to the article, if you would like to check how it looks and tell me. I really appreciate your help! Medxvo (talk) 11:50, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

This in response to your great contribution to a question I asked in the Teahouse, and i am here because you asked me to reach out to you in your talk page. How can you help me with the ArticleDraft:Davide_Lombardi... . Denovoj (talk) 09:37, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'll look at it later. Thank you for reaching out to me. dxneo (talk) 09:59, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Dxneo, this was pretty straightforward; the only problem I noticed is an ambiguous statement in "Composition and lyrics", which I've marked as needing clarification. Otherwise it looks good to me. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 03:26, 2 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
