July 2013[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Aaliyah (album), did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to leave a message at the article's talk page or my talk page. Thank you. Dan56 (talk) 20:40, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions, but please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Aaliyah (album), disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Dan56 (talk) 21:17, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Aaliyah (album). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Dan56 (talk) 21:24, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Venuzza67. You have new messages at Dan56's talk page.

I'm sorry, where did I say "end-all" again? As a matter of fact, I brought up several independent third-party news sources that verified the "mixed reviews" fact for that article, not solely using Metacritic. And as I explained at the talk page here, Metacritic's entry for Aaliyah is omitting major critics' reviews that it has since included in their gauge. You either have something against Allmusic's biographical article or what was agreed at Aaliyah's FAC review, but edit warring wont help. Dan56 (talk) 21:50, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your change will be reverted sooner or later. Show good faith and undo it yourself. Dan56 (talk) 21:51, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please assume good faith in your dealings with other editors, which you did not here on Aaliyah (album). Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia. Dan56 (talk) 21:58, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Accusing me of bias will "sink you". If you want to comment on the article Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, do it at its talk page. Your comments are out of line. You are weighing a premature Metacritic source (you clearly didn't address my comments here) against a book source (which I found... after researching the most reliable source available to promote this article to FA). Context matters for reliability. You cherry-picked a paragraph from a discussion on another article. Wish you'd chosen the one where I cite several news sources that explicitly said "mixed reviews". There's a reason I achieved consensus at that article and prevented an unconstructive edit from being made. Comment on content, not on contributors. Dan56 (talk) 22:11, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Could you elaborate at the talk page? "Rechecked"? Dan56 (talk) 22:18, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Aaliyah (album) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Dan56 (talk) 22:45, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 09:45, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. The next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Talk: Yeezus, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. STATic message me! 16:31, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Block notice[edit]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for personal attacks and harassment. Each of your edits today have been filled with unacceptable personal attacks against editors with whom you are in a content dispute. This is not acceptable. I would suggest you take this 24 hour break to review Wikipedia's policies regarding civility and concentrate on honing your communication skills in order to co-exist with those holding differing opinions in a collaborative environment such as Wikipedia. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

You have been blocked. [redact] Come back in a better frame of mind and quit with the accusations. -- Cassianto ^Talk 19:54, 12 July 2013 (UTC) _{One comment redacted as inappropriate.--Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 20:25, 12 July 2013 (UTC)}[reply]

RE: Baseless remarks[edit]

FYI, I'm more of a jazz, rock, and soul (actual soul, not contemporary R&B) fan. My personal favorites include Of Human Feelings, A Tribute to Jack Johnson, Thelonious Monk Trio, Marquee Moon, and Moondance. And who said I don't like Nicki Minaj? (I do often go by the recommendations of Robert Christgau) Check them out while you're cooling off from smearing my name across Wikipedia. Remember, I am an editor first, and when I see articles in such poor shape as this, I am inspired to improve them, regardless of my personal tastes in music. I hope when you return you can explicitly address my most recent points at Talk:Aaliyah (album). Cheers! Dan56 (talk) 20:09, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It was less about being "possessive" and more about guidelines. I told you the issue you were bringing up about the phrase "highly positive" had been discussed and agreed upon in GA and FA reviews of the article (which I mentioned several times), but ignoring that and continuing to introduce a change without consensus was not adhering to proper etiquette (Wikipedia:BRD#Notes). As Cassianto mentioned at the talk page, there's a good reason the original revision was accepted as a featured-quality article, and your proposal to introduce your change would have been more appropriately handled through consensus-building. Noting the indication of "generally favorable reviews" from Metacritic is fair, but book sources are for a lack of a better word "king", as more editorial oversight is accorded to them, they are almost always written in retrospective, thus having the benefit of hindsight, and are considered more scholarly (WP:RS). You will notice most "old-school" FAs rely on more offline, print sources. As a listener, I do prefer the I Care 4 U comp. to Aaliyah like Christgau, but there's not much coverage (hence notabiliy) for the former. And although it's a bit of a mess, Minaj's album is a hot mess, sort of like Minaj herself, LOL. So I'm still in agreement with Xgau. I'm not sure if he does, but I prefer Azealia Banks to either of those two others. Dan56 (talk) 19:49, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see anything impolite in my original responses to you here. Your follow-up response however did seem impolite. And way to stay on topic just now. Ultimately, it comes down to the consensus of several experienced editors at all three articles and not my say, although I was convincing enough ("rave reviews" in encyclopedias anyone?), so perhaps reading through them carefully would help instead of judging by face value and what is starting to sound like fancruft. Since our discussion at Aaliyah is over, consider dropping it, as well as any suggestions that I was impolite after giving you the templated messages (designed for new users) directing you to the proper venue for discussions and advising not to "make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus".
