Do not vandalise! (from an unsigned comment left by Doxent on my talk page)[edit]

You've vandalised the lists of pop basses, baritones and tenors. Leave it alone please. - —Preceding unsigned comment added by Doxent (talk • contribs) 10:29, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Doxent.

When one of our editors (in this case, you and others) listens to a piece of music with an analytical ear, and determines what the range of a singer is, the colour of tone of their fach or even a note being strummed in a complex commercial work, one is originally analysing a piece. Original research can take a number of forms, depending on the discipline it pertains to ...it typically ... involves direct ... observation of the researched subject, e.g. ...in the field. Original analysis is original research.

The problem is, Wikipedia is not the place for original research, this is an official rule. Citing sources and avoiding original research are inextricably linked: the only way to demonstrate that you are not doing original research is to cite reliable sources which provide information that is directly related to the topic of the article, and to adhere to what those sources say. The source must be from a reliable journal, publication or website. Please note, Blogs do not count to this end. Wikipedia:No original research is one of 3 wiki-laws, as it were. The other two are Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

You have broken one or more of these laws. If you choose to break it again, it will be deliberate vandalism, an act for which we believe you could be disciplined for, as you have now been warned. Please note warnings for original research additions, reversions back to articles containing them, and other related edits inc. forms of original research will most likely be counted along with warnings for other types of vandalism, you are essentially losing one of your 3 strikes. If the case is particularly serious, one of our admin's could block you on the spot.

Sincerely,

--I'll bring the food 13:40, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Doxent, Take note that what IBTF is talking about in many cases are guidelines. That is not to say he is not right, this is just his tone. For instance this "3 strikes" he talks about may be formally or informally a rule, or guideline, but since he quotes no source - I cannot tell you which it is. In addition, there are no LAWS on Wikipedia. Where that nonsense comes from I'm not sure. (I'm sure he will tell us.)

That said, his statement about getting citations is essentially correct. That is, I have no way, as a fellow editor, to support your writting, or perhaps say it should be excluded. Typically, a fellow editor should ask for references as much as possible, be tolerant and act in good faith, until shown otherwise.

In my case, I have my own issues, namely Canthaxanthin. I have made the claim that the article is unreliable. To which, he added a offical government citation countering my claim. As such, I am obliged to show a counter claim; this I am in the process of doing. The end result is Wikipedia will be a better source of information that if just one person worked on it, or two in collaberation.

While I might be the first person to call his ideas lacking and his actions abrasive, he is essentially correct. Please add some good citation, and use your talkpage, or my talkpage, or even IBTF's talkpage to create a link to the list. This way we all can at least note what it is we are talking about. meatclerk 16:49, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

JoJo is NOT an Soprano[edit]

her voice is too dark and range not big enough x 82.25.178.76 22:09, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

and on that note, Matthew Bellamy sure as hell isn't a baritone XD who added him as that, seriously? He's definately a tenor (even though he can go down to an A2, you very rarely hear him going below that D3 or so, and even that is a pretty rare occurence). Thanks for keeping that page up though, it's really useful IMO. -also, Mike Patton is definately not a Bass, he can't go much lower than around an F2 without going into vocal fry, and he can easily use his falsetto up to at least an Ab5 (Pink Cigarette after the final chorus). I'm not too sure what to classify him as though, I'm thinking Baritone since he sticks mostly in that range.

MfD nomination of User:Doxent/List of singers by range[edit]

User:Doxent/List of singers by range, a page you substantially contributed to, has been nominated for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Doxent/List of singers by range and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of User:Doxent/List of singers by range during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 00:13, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have closed the discussion as Keep as it was determined that there was nothing wrong with your use of userspace, but I have added {{userpage}} so that it is clear that it is not an article and another user has added __NOINDEX__ to the page so that it won't show up on a Google search (it was showing up as the top hit!). Consensus at MfD supported both of these edits so you should not change them. I have changed the redirect on the talk page to a softredirect so that the {{oldmfd}} tag can be used without messing up the code. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me after you review the closed discussion.--MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:34, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cookies[edit]

Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:

==References==
{{Reflist}}

Unreferenced BLPs[edit]

Hello Doxent! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot notifying you on behalf of the the unreferenced biographies team that 1 of the articles that you created is currently tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 940 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
