REviews

Please refrain from constantly adding reviews for music albums from unreliable sites. WP:ALBUM lists the sites that are considered reliable from a review perspective. Any addition of other review sites will be removed from Wikipedia. Canterbury Tail talk 13:10, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

August 2009

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. – B.hotep •talk• 13:20, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a short time in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule. Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. – B.hotep •talk• 14:32, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Thousand Foot Krutch. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Pick Me Up (Masters of Horror episode). Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:08, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have been deleting genres from bands without producing any references. In one case, you deleted a genre that contained a reference. Please stop. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:34, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fighstar genre

Can you please stop this yawnathon genre edit war and instead continue to contribute to a discussion at Talk:Fightstar? It's clear opinion is split and gaining a consensus would be more productive than simply reverting every single day. Rehevkor ✉ 15:01, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article in question has now been fully protected, in the mean time I am hoping we can gain a full consensus on the talk page. Any input is welcome, we are currently engaged in collecting reliable sources on all genres, any input is welcome. Cheers. Rehevkor ✉ 02:05, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Genre

Please stop removing genres from band articles without explanation. Even if it is not sourced, you should still explain why you are removing it. Furthermore, you shouldn't just pick and choose which ones you want to remove or keep. Keep all or none, or put "citation needed" tags on them. Sergecross73 msg me 17:00, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Again, the problem is two-fold. 1)You don't add an explanation. Unless it's a minor edit, which these are not, you're supposed to always have one. 2)You keep on picking and choosing what to keep purely on your opinion. It's quite apparrent that you have some sort of bias agains the term "alternative metal". When you do this, you're compounding the problem. You're taking one "wrong", (unsourced info), and turning it into "2 wrongs", because unsourced info is still in there, but now your bias is there as well. You're making things worse with this approach. If you wanted to do this the right way, you'd be adding the sources for genre as you go. Sergecross73 msg me 14:26, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1) No, many of your edits, usually the first time you remove genres from an article, have no description at all in the edit comment. This isn't even debatable, all someone has to do is look at your contribution list to see this. You may have your reasons, but you're not always stating them. 2) Again, if you had good intentions, you'd be finding these sources yourself, and you wouldn't be challenging such silly things. It look like literally 5 seconds to find a source that said Shinedown is "alternative metal". Why even dispute that? It feels like you're just trying to cause trouble.

February 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Skillet (band), did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I have noticed that some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Skillet (band)‎, have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you to seek consensus for certain edits. Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:55, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Skillet (band), you may be blocked from editing. I do understand that you're changing the genre on the article. It has reached consensus and you're wrong to change it without commenting. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:48, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative metal

So it's pretty obvious you have some sort of problem with the term, with the way you continue to remove it from so many band's articles, and almost every time, despite all the genres being unsourced, you only remove alternative metal. Care to explain? Because all it takes is a brief search on the internet to see that these bands are definitely labeled as such... Sergecross73 msg me 02:25, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I understand what you're doing. I know wikipedia policy. I'm asky why you're targeting alternative metal? If WP:RS was your only concern, you'd be removing all the genres, not just alternative metal every time. Sergecross73 msg me 13:33, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Skillet

I am reverting your edits because I did read what you changed, not because I didn't. It seems arbitrary to keep some in the infobox, but not others, and the musical style section seems rather unneccessary considering it says nothing other than just stating their genre in bare bones sentences which are just as well represented in the infobox.

Furthermore, you have nothing to report me on, as I am leaving edit comments, discussing it here on your page, and I have only reverted the page twice. I'm not breaking any policies here. Sergecross73 msg me 17:43, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Please, don't act like you're doing me a favor, I know you're not reverting any further because you'd be breaking WP:3RR. I know "not every genre needs to be in the infobox", my hang up is that you haven't given a rhyme or reason as far as why you left particular ones there.

In regards to removing sources, the content is still there and sourced, my reverts just make it so there aren't 3-4 sources for some genres, which isn't really necessary anyways. Sergecross73 msg me 18:41, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, another anonymous editor from the UK, which based on IP location is most likely you, was vandalizing the article several weeks ago and said the genres were un-sourced. You then refused to participate in the discussion that found genres with WP:RS. Once the work is done, you simply remove those you don't like from the article. Please stop vandalizing the article. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:30, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
