Hello, I'm LR0725. I noticed that in this edit to Disco, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. LR0725 [ Talk | Contribs ] 04:02, 3 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Understood. As someone who lived in NYC before, during, and after the disco era, I am shocked to see the lack of factual content relating to the actual genre.  There is some 21st century cultural misappropriation to the movement that was.  For example, no mention of George McCrae or The Hughes Corporation yet a whole section devoted to the 'Eroticism'?  We must first describe what it was before giving opinions on what it meant. 98.206.161.89 (talk) 04:06, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I see. LR0725 [ Talk | Contribs ] 04:16, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Disco, you may be blocked from editing. Grachester (talk) 04:16, 3 June 2023 (UTC)


 * But none of this is true. You are pushing agendas that have no mainstream or academic rationale.  This is NOT what disco was about or represented in the 1970s.  Why are you doing this?  You are exercising your first-world privilege to make it about you, and not the topic.  This is cultural misappropriation! 98.206.161.89 (talk) 04:22, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
 * You don't get to replace sourced information with your opinions about what is true. Please read both WP:V and WP:NPOV which are two of the core policies of Wikipedia. If you want to discuss your proposed changes, you should do so on the article's talk page. Continuing to remove well-sourced information that you disagree with is clear vandalism and will lead to you being blocked from editing. Grachester (talk) 04:23, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Your missing the point. The sources aren't sources at all because the content is irrelevant to the subject.  Case in point:
 * Further, in addition to gay sex being illegal in New York state, until 1973 the American Psychiatric Association classified homosexuality as an illness. This law and classification coupled together can be understood to have heavily dissuaded the expression of queerness in public, as such the liberatory dynamics of discotheques can be seen as having provided space for self-realization for queer persons. David Mancuso's club/house party, The Loft, was described as having a "pansexual attitude [that] was revolutionary in a country where up until recently it had been illegal for two men to dance together unless there was a woman present; where women were legally obliged to wear at least one recognizable item of female clothing in public; and where men visiting gay bars usually carried bail money with them."
 * Gay sex? Gay sex also occurred outside discos.  Explain to me how this is relevant to the disco music genre that was created by African-American artists? 98.206.161.89 (talk) 04:27, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Nice cherry picking. That is hardly all that you removed - that is a tiny percentage of the well-sourced information you removed. You also omitted the references you removed from that paragraph. Have you read "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life: The History of the Disc Jockey"? You should before passing judgement. Anyway, take this discussion to the article talk page and get consensus there before making these edits again. Grachester (talk) 04:33, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
