[edit]

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. --VVikingTalkEdits 19:34, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I have now added a source. ADogCalledElvis (talk) 19:52, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article Ryan O'Reilly (singer-songwriter) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Doesn't meet WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Your recent editing history at Elvis Presley shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

I do not think that this is an edit war, as I have corrected an obvious error and added some details. These edits were based on reliable sources. It is a mystery to me why they have been removed, so that the error has not been corrected and the additional material is missing. ADogCalledElvis (talk) 04:24, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Elvis Presley Song-Writing Cleanup

[edit]

Hi, ADogCalledElvis. I believe that you are unambiguously correct in your assertion that Presley has been erroneously credited with writing songs he did not write, and the article on Presley even says that already in the notes: Elvis_Presley#cite_note-cowriter-93. I've removed the assertions that he was a song-writer from his article, but I've noticed that other articles, such as Heartbreak Hotel, contain erroneous, contradictory claims that Presley co-wrote those songs. I'm doing a bit of cleanup of these articles, removing those claims. If you're interested in taking a look at those other articles and seeing how you could improve them, I believe your knowledge of this topic would be a huge benefit to Wikipedia. All the best, Cjhard (talk) 01:09, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
