A fact from This Is It (concert residency) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 March 2009, and was viewed approximately 10,500 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Michael Jackson's official concert tour website could not deal with the traffic—16,000 applications a second—for pre-sale ticket registration?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/March.

Setlists and dates

1) Since the article indicates possibly more than 20 setlists to be used during the "Tour", I don't think posting any one set list here would make sense. There is no "single" setlist for a tour with a rotating list.

2) Do people think the list of dates is necessary? The tour won't happen now, the dates don't add particular value, as long as the article still says "the shows were to run with 27 shows from July 13 until September 29, 2009, and then resume with 23 shows from January 7 until March 6, 2010." Perhaps with an addition that "Shows would have mostly taken place two days apart, with a few larger gaps between some shows." (33 of the 49 gaps between concerts are 2 day gaps. 5 are three-day, 3 are four-day, 5 are five-day, and there's a seven-day, eleven-day and the three-month gap) if people think the frequency of the shows is important. I really don't think pinpointing the date of the 32nd concert or knowing whether he would have played on August 12 is a significant point of information for readers.

I disagree, the date list in its entirety should remain. Tom Green (talk) 18:18, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any proof that "You Rock My World" would have made the setlist? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.188.177.111 (talk) 04:51, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Illusionists?

It's very well documented that Jackson was working with David Copperfield on magic tricks for the show, but then dropped him when he wanted $1m per show. Jackson then went with Criss Angel and Ed Alonzo. Shouldn't they be listed under crew? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.18.128 (talk) 14:53, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support act

Is it worth having a line or two about Shaheen Jafargholi, who would have been the warmup singer?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.18.128 (talk) 03:20, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article is one of a number selected for the early stage of the trial of the Wikipedia:Pending Changes system on the English language Wikipedia. All the articles listed at Wikipedia:Pending changes/Queue are being considered for level 1 pending changes protection.

The following request appears on that page:

Many of the articles were selected semi-automatically from a list of indefinitely semi-protected articles.
Please confirm that the protection level appears to be still warranted, and consider unprotecting instead, before applying pending changes protection to the article.

Comments on the suitability of theis page for "Pending changes" would be appreciated.

Please update the Queue page as appropriate.

Note that I am not involved in this project any much more than any other editor, just posting these notes since it is quite a big change, potentially

Status as a "residency"

To EscapeX - please stop with your edit war of adding categories such as 2009 concert tours. PLEASE understand that this page is not about a tour. As has been explained to you several times before, a concert tour is by definition something that moves from city to city, and plays in different arenas. "This Is It" did not do that, therefore it is not a tour, and so we should not add categories saying that it is one. The same thing applies with your insistance on using a table layout with columns for City/Country/Venue. This makes no sense because there is only one location involved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.175.220.114 (talk) 18:22, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ticket prices

Not sure if this may is important but should we add the original ticket prices on the page? They were 50 /65 / 75 cheers : http://www.lastfm.de/event/975261+Michael+Jackson+-+This+Is+It! --Rusex (talk) 00:49, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Make it happen

Let's start a campaign to bring the show as he imagined it, to the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.225.101 (talk) 09:39, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

-However, on October 20, an Irish choir revealed that they had what could be the star's last studio recording — an off the cuff version of the famine song The Fields of Athenry recorded when he was in Ireland in 2006. The village choir from Caherraggin in Westmeath, Ireland were using the song as a choral warm-up when he joined in and sang six verses. The song is a popular football anthem and features a line "Michael, they have taken you away."  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/69.249.50.55|69.249.50.55]] ([[User talk:69.249.50.55|talk]]) 02:58, 4 November 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
