Blocked
Your IP address is one of three (156.34.142.110, 142.166.250.98, 156.34.211.193) that have recently being involved in an edit war with User:Navnløs regarding formatting in music articles. Because all three of these IP address come from the same location (St. John, New Brunswick) and because at least one of them has had contact with other edits involved in this long-running dispute - I believe that all of the IPs are being used by a single individual or by a number of individuals engaged in coordinated edit warring. I have therefore blocked all three IPs for 24 hours. You can find more information here. If you feel that this block is unwarranted, you may appeal it by following the process outlined here.

 * OMGWTF somebody doesn't know who libsey is! Weltanschaunng 18:11, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

He's out for the weekend thankfully. Hmm... interesting situation though. Kameejl's code is coming along nicely. As I write this I am having another admin look into it. Surprise, surprise... the script only changes "," to " " and not visa versa. I've been advised just to watch carefully... these are interesting times we live in.

 * Actually I didn't see where libsey flouted the 3rr rule. Unless the user tigershark is assuming that the 142 IP is libsey (which is wrong I think). Dunno I have kept myself away from the line break, comma war at all times so I don't really know. I guess libsey being an IP could've been a factor, but that's my POV anyway. Weltanschaunng 06:57, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Tigershark is basing it on the premise that all three IPs are the same user. Libs's main IP (this one) clearly did not engage in an edit war.  Enigma  message 07:02, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Did you see the AN posting?  Enigma  message 07:04, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah I did, basically the report started out as a complaint against Navnlos, but some user inquired whether the IPs are related. So basically Tigershark must've checked whether the IPs are from the same area, which he claims to have found (I really don't know much about RDNS and other IP tracing stuff). I did a check on 142 IP and it seems to be from Canada. I don't know the exact details, though. IMO, even if the block is only for 24 hrs, it is essential that the block be contested since the block is based on wrong premises. Weltanschaunng 08:21, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Well now I checked again, and libsey (variable ip) did two reverts, while the unknown 142 ip did the third. Weltanschaunng 08:25, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. Yes that is the premise that I was working with, along with the fact that this IP address has been involved in the content dispute previously (including the exchange that led to a previously block for Navnlos ), and the likelihood that the IP is dynamic is reinforced by this edit which took place at around the same time, with different content, but an identical edit summary. I have no way to prove that the 156 and 142 IPs are the same person of course, and I will be happy to admit any mistake and apologise, but I blocked Navnlos and the significant similarities between the IPs locations and reverts meant that I felt I had to block them too, to be even handed. I did make the reasoning clear on WP:AN3 and here, so that it was as transparent, and as easy to appeal as possible. Cheers TigerShark (talk) 11:23, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

One another note
I have completed the work in my sandbox, and I have introduced the new format in the list. Its not all done, most non-us bands don't have a description. And I got to put pics in too, maybe even include some description about the major scenes...I would like to know the FA procedure too :D! Weltanschaunng 14:50, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

On that point, would it be wise to put information about the major local scenes of thrash in the list, or does that info belong to the main article? Weltanschaunng 09:29, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

WarCry disco
You got so many IPs that I don't know where is your talk page :). Well I'll send you their dico through RapidShare or MegaUpload, just tell me if that's OK with you. They have released 5 albums and there's another one coming net month, their first 3 albums are (in my opinion) masterpieces, the other two are just good, they said that the new one promises to be totally different and their best. Also they sing in Spanish, and I was wndering why would you like to have their disco, but anyways I'll send it to you, please answer back, so that I know you read this message.

Freddie Mercury's ethnicity
I think the BBC don't even know what they're talking about. Compare this article where they claim he's proudly Iranian, to this one where they say he's Azerbaijani (!), and here they call him "Indian Parsi"....

I have watched the documentaries A Kind of Magic and Freddie Mercury: The Untold Story and neither of them implied he was anything but Indian Parsi. The latter, I believe, mentioned that the name Bulsara comes from the city of Bulsar in Gujarat.

The best way to handle it, in my opinion, is to go on saying he's Indian Parsi heritage. That seems to have the most support from external sources, including the ones in the documentaries, who happen to be his family and closest associates. Thoughts? ... disco spinster   talk  01:50, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I've copied what I've written here to Talk:Freddie Mercury. This is an issue that's been going on for so long, I don't know if it will even make a difference!  It's even been documented in the Wikipedia page Lamest edit wars.  I'm so proud to be a part of that slice of history!  ...  disco spinster   talk  01:58, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

re your comment
I don't believe I made personal attacks. The Mammy I refered to was Phil Lynott's. The user in question WAS making personal and pejorative comments eg "fanboy". I was making the legitimate point that the Thin Lizzy page is a terrible. It has no editorial balance and is weighted towards a not very important or notable line up that trades on the 1970s and 1980s history and songs but without the key songwriters Lynott and Downey. A review of the editors work indicates that he/she is a serial reverter. I imagine his/Her agressive and pejorative approach and editing history could bear some examination. Thanks.

bias
You are obviously a maggot aka slipknot fan, please stop attempting to label slipknot a heavy metal band, you should not be reverting my edits when they are clearly justified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Melkortheevil (talk • contribs) 01:52, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually I don't like Slipknot at all. I am an Motorhead/Iron Maiden/Black Sabbath/Rush/Led Zeppelin fan. 156.34.142.110 (talk) 02:04, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of perfectly valid external link
I don't need to improve my search ranking. I provided a link to something that is not available on wikipedia; A complete list of all Queen and solo songs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Queenarchives (talk • contribs) 16:43, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Response to my talk page
First, AMG is a reliable source. Hell, it's featured in some of Wikipedia's own templates. Your argument there is moot.

Second, I checked the talk page, and there is no consensus as to the genre. There isn't even a discussion, so don't even try to sling that crap around.

It looks to me that you're trying to press your personal opinion and hide it by citing policies that don't even apply to the situation.

I have the citation. You don't. Get over it.

the Blocked one
Thanx for you warning man.What we see is that I'm not blocked yet and we'll see wether I'd be or not.And we both know no one will be blocked for a wrong sourcing.Besides doing an edit war without discussing on the talk page is what you did and that's against wikipedia rules as I had talked on the talk page in ages and no one had stated a disagreement in the talk page.An ways,You could easily talk it on the talk page at first place and I would accept your explanaition.Goodluck warrior.Keep your feet on the ground.Solino the Wolf (talk) 00:43, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * You were saying? Hope you enjoyed your block. 156.34.142.110 (talk) 20:26, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol.It was 3RR.That libs one made me do it:D I had completly forgotten about that:D —Preceding unsigned comment added by Solino (talk • contribs) 11:28, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Forgot about it? You were issued a warning for 3RR. You should have been blocked for a week. Do not add anymore genres to any articles as it appears you do not have any knowledge of the subjects you are trying to edit. 156.34.142.110 (talk) 13:34, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanx for warning.I think maybe you should read more.I teach modern music in AUB. I may not know many things,but I think my knowledge is enough for doing genre editings.And I have edited MANY genres in the past year and I've never had any stupid edit wars like the one I had with you.So maybe the problem is from you.GoodluCk anyways.Solino the Wolf (talk) 22:34, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Reverts by Wiki admin on Rolling Stones page against consensus
The restoration to saying Brian Jones was fired, are very much against consensus. See Stones talk page for detailed discussion of the matter. Also, not specifying what "false information" was included is unhelpful making guesswork of what exactly what is at issue. Finally, I suspect Sssoul thinks that I am the one reverting the "fired" position. This is partly his fault since he has apparently not looked carefully at the edit history, and has apparently not read my comments while I strongly think he was fired, I make clear that I agree with the consensus and have no wish to have the "fired" copy remain. It is also partly the fault of yourself, presumably, who has still not noted your reverts with explanation and suggestions adequately. Mr Anonymous

Re: Your message
Thanks for pointing out the good faith of the editor you referenced in your message. Unsourced, poorly constructed edits that blank text and are executed without summary have every appearance of vandalism. I hope you understand why I used the rollback instead of contacting the user personally (which my contribs will show that I have recently started doing). Since you have been to my talk page you will also have seen that I try to guide editors to help whenever I'm contacted. I'll be glad to leave a message of apology on the user's talk in hopes that they will feel more welcomed (which would be my aim for every editor). Please do not hesitate to message me in future with suggestions, help, advice etc.  Tide  rolls  19:56, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
