Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:42, 8 September 2012

As much as I hope that there are no problems with my edits, there sometimes are. If so, don't hesitate to tell me about them here. Alternatively, it's always nice to hear that someone likes your work, either way, leave any feedback at all! :-)

Triple H Retirement

Hey - just thought I'd point out that although Triple H's retirement looks likely, there's been no actual concrete proof that he's retired from in-ring performing. Even the interview linked to in the article says that he's seemingly retired. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.219.180.88 (talk) 22:02, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Edit warring

Your recent editing history at Eminem shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 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. --Michig (talk) 17:25, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Logos

Apparently you are adding a number of logos in the name field of instances of {{infobox musical artist}}. As you can see from the template documentation, "Logos and other graphics are to be avoided in this field". A logo, if it accurately reflects a graphic used by a group, is copyrighted or trademarked, and thus should have some sort of commentary to "justify" a minimal fair use. The notion of "identification" was discussed some years back. Most editors considered corporations mainly identified by the logo (rather than the CEO or people who run them), while bands were considered mainly identified by the people who make them up. Thus we do use a picture of a band in the info box, but not a logo, even in cases like Nine Inch Nails or Ramones where there is a fairly well-known identifying logo which is later discussed in the text. So please, stop putting logos in the name field. If you are aware of significant commentary on a logo, then put a paragraph in the main text. Thanks. Gimmetoo (talk) 19:46, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

September 2012

Hello, I'm Grafen. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Tanya Stephens, because to me it seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thanks, Grafen (talk) 19:55, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

It is not acceptable to use just any source that you find on the internet as a reference in articles. In the Tanya Stephens article you removed references to reliable sources and added sites such as discogs, iTunes, twitter, pipl.com, and the German Misplaced Pages as sources - these are not acceptable as sources. Please read Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources, which explains which type of sources are suitable. Thanks. --Michig (talk) 21:37, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

If you continue to edit war and edit disruptively you will be blocked from editing.--Michig (talk) 21:40, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

I suggest you take it to the talk page before you both hit 3RR and get reported. Kerfuffler (talk) 21:42, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
