My Bloody Valentine
Thank you for your comment regarding mention of the term "sh**g*z*"(censored in the name of morale & good taste) on the My Bloody Valentine page. I've been editing this page a number of time over the months, for the obvious reason that a term as shallow and as meaningless as that has no true impact and doesn't even begin to accurately describe this band. To simply describe them "sh**g*z*", a quite frankly rubbish term coined by the narrow minded music press (to describe the way they look at their shoes when they play? what?), is inaccurate and unprofessional, and I don't feel it has any place on the page. And anyway, you'll notice that I only removed it on the formal bits describing My Bloody Valentine as a musical band and as a genre name, I left the description in regarding the term as applied to the band by the press, fans, other syncophants, etc. Although I plan on removing this when I can find an alternative with which to replace it. Juvenile terms like that have no place on Wikipedia, and I consider it vandalism when I see it included like its a serious musical term (such as rock 'n roll, metal, pop, etc.)


 * Sadly your actions would be in breach of our neutral point of view policy. Whether you feel it is inappropriate or inaccurate to describe the band as shoegazers is beside the point.  The term was applied to the band and should remain on the page.  To describe the term as juvenile is again in breach of the neutral point of view policy, and to claim the right to decide what is suitable content for Wikipedia is also against policy.  Wiki-pedia operates through consensus.  I would suggest you familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines.  Also, to sign your comments on wikipedia, please use ~ . Thanks.

 * Your recent edits have removed Shoegazing from the genre line of the infobox on My Bloody Valentine. Please do not remove content from Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.  &mdash;ptk✰fgs 21:06, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Bashman. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bashman~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:24, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
