Hello, I'm Discospinster. I noticed that in this edit to Afrobeats, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ... discospinster _talk 00:16, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Afrobeats shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Drmies (talk) 01:41, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Afrobeats: The Nigeria music genre that unites all Africans

Why do ghanians claim part creator of afrobeats and yet they(ghana) want to ban Nigeria music from their country. Explain to me how you ban something you cliam you create. First they claim they thought fela Afrobeat. EBO TAYLOR debunked that nonsense from his 2022 interviews and also interviews far back as 10years. So when ghanians saw the success of Nigeria music. They abandoned their highlife and now want to cliam something they don’t even understand or know how to market.

If afrobeats is also originated from Ghana like some of you people claim. Ghana artists will just be good enough to make good and quality afrobeats sound that people enjoy globally. But this is not the case, the Ghanaian artist are mainly known only through collaborations and help from Nigeria artists through features, and bringing ghanian artist on global events like wizkid bringing stonebwoy and king promise on stage at the O2 arena in London, so they can gain recognition in the Nigeria market and global market. This is the fact and the Ghanaian artist who want any success must come to Nigeria to promote and try to get some features to boost the song likeliness to Nigeria.

Pidgin is a Nigeria broken English language and when this is mix with our local dialects mainly Yoruba the result is magic.

I think the problem with Ghanaian artist or people trying to claim Afrobeats as part creator is that it take a way the potential sound Highlife that Ghanian are known for. And the implications of this is that no matter how Ghanaian try to do afrobeats it will always be the dilute versions because Ghanian lack the fundamental swag and lifestyle to create a music like afrobeats is in the blood. And even if they Ghanian do it good they will always associate that artists as a Nigeria made. Yes you can adopt it because there are elements of highlife from Ghana but just because you adopt something doesn’t make it your creation.

The biggest artist on the genre are all Nigerians. Common there is a reason for this. Because when people hear the song they already know it’s Nigera and the turn is and accent is Nigerian. You can’t fake it. Any Africans can make afrobeats and any one who love the genre but should always give credit to the creators Nigeria.

My last advice, Ghanian should be like South Africa and create their own sound now that the spot light is on us Africans courtesy Nigeria artists and the Nigeria people. 9jaforlife (talk) 02:40, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Original research

Hello, 9jaforlife,

At Wikipedia, we rely on reliable sources to substantiate claims of importance and influence, not our own opinions. Whatever views you have about Afropop or Afrobeats, do not try to include them in our articles without providing a reference to back them up. Even editors that are experts in their field of knowledge must support their claims with citations, otherwise Wikipedia becomes no better than a blog, reflecting one person's opinion on a subject.

If you have any questions about editing policy or referencing claims, please bring them to the Teahouse where experienced editors can provide you with advice and support. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:36, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

I totally understand. I will work with a reliable team to help bring materials that will support my case. Everything I stated is not opinions but facts that are easy to research. The fact speak for themselves.   Including Ghana into Nigeria music genre only deny ghania their potential to showcase their real genre which is hip life and dancehall. All this claim of afrobeats is baseless. The names you mention on the Wikipedia are all Nigeria. Is a shame they have to even put jhus name in the same line as fela kuti and tony allen. I’m not historian. But I shall find competent Nigerians who can but this issue to rest once and for all.  9jaforlife (talk) 21:49, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
