April 2020[edit]
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Christmas (Michael W. Smith album), please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.
It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thanks for updating the album articles. Much of it has been a great improvement. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:17, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
confusion[edit]
You made some mistakes when you edited the The First Decade (1983–1993) album article. First, an album released April 28, 1998 could not have been the source for a song that was released on a compilation album released on October 12, 1993. The song was recorded for the compilation album and later re-released on the album. The second issue is that the subsequent album is not Live Your Life, but rather Live the Life. Finally, the song was a bonus track for the Japanese version of the album, likely because the aforementioned compilation was not released there. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:31, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you create an inappropriate page. Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 00:37, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- To be clear, a link to a fan website which likely violates copyright is not sufficient for an article. —C.Fred (talk) 00:38, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- I agree with C.Fred. I suggest you try to understand what we're trying to do on Wikipedia. Come on by a project, either Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Christian music or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Musicians, to ask for some help. Maybe we can help you achieve your goals.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Nicole C. Mullen. ◊PRAHLADbalaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 00:58, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- You've been around for seven months and have not been welcomed. I plan to clean-up your talk page and then send a welcome. If you don't want that, you can revert to anywhere on this page's history. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:59, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.
Please remember to:
- Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp. - Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.

Everyday People reference ideas[edit]
I added a few references to Talk:Everyday People (Nicole C. Mullen album). Take a look at what you can add. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:27, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- Why did you copy Everyday People (Nicole C. Mullen album) to Nicole C. Mullen (Everyday People album) and now are contesting its deletion on its talk page by repeating the article there. Do you need help editing? If so, please ask. If you continue, other editors may assume you're WP:NOTHERE or assume you don't have the required competence to edit. Please ask for help if you're frustrated by using the {{Help me}} template. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:37, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- Again, all of your recent edits have been 1) against the formatting guidelines (repeating full names, redlinks, links to disambiguation pages, etc.) and 2) on the talk page, not the article page. Do you know what you're doing? Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:56, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
Your contributed article, Nicole C. Mullen (Everyday People album)[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Nicole C. Mullen (Everyday People album). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Everyday People (Nicole C. Mullen album). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Everyday People (Nicole C. Mullen album). If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:29, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
Why do you keep creating a talk page under an invalid title?[edit]
You have created Talk:Nicole C. Mullen (Everyday People album) several times now. Why? The title makes no sense: there is not an album titled Nicole C. Mullen by the group Everyday People; instead, the text is a copy of Everyday People (Nicole C. Mullen album). So, what purpose does the talk page serve? —C.Fred (talk) 03:13, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- @C.Fred: I think AstronautJourney1 is not clear on how to edit. It looks to me like the editor was trying to expand Everyday People and made an error, stuck to the error and did not have the experience to understand that the edits were in the wrong place. That also happened when the editor coped the article's contents to the talk page of the now-deleted article and edited it there. Some content was lost due to the error.

National varieties of English[edit]
Hello. In a recent edit to the page Fleetwood Mac, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 06:18, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
Crowded House[edit]
Hi, your edits to the Crowded House page appear well intentioned but you created too many small subsections. Also there's no point calling a section "2012 - present" if the next section is called "2013 - present" so I've amalgamated and copy edited these sections. Hope that's OK. Regards, Thegraciousfew (talk) 08:20, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
- Please stop breaking this article down into such small sections. Any developments should be put in the "2019 - present" section. Also you clearly do not understand the meaning of the word "present" - see above.Thegraciousfew (talk) 06:22, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
Abraham Lincoln[edit]
I have no idea what you are trying to do with this page, but knock it off, or ask for help. If you keep it up I will block you for vandalism. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 06:09, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
- Ah, now I see what you were trying to do. Congrats on figuring out how adding photos works! However, the image you've added has a problem: it is not a free image. Someone created that image, and still holds its copyright, and I see no evidence that they have freely liscensed it. Wikipedia only hosts free images.
