Drowned in Sound
Hi, I just want to let you know why I just removed the reviews that you added to Live Evil and Mob Rules. The review was written by Joseph Stannard who is just a regular user of that sight not a professional. As per WikiProject Albums, only professional reviews should be included. A list of acceptable review sites can be found at WikiProject Albums/Review sites. Happy editing, — J04n(talk page) 02:11, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

All Music
The problem with all Allmusic in general and specifically when it comes to influences, is that they don't tell us where they get that information from. I've spent many, many fruitless hours scouring websites and printed books looking for a particular artist to claim to be influenced by another only to come up empty. Allmusic seems to have no problem with this (those sections are sometimes incredibly lengthy) which leads me to believe that they are making these claims based on their critical analysis of these artists. For instance, it would make sense from an analytical perspective to claim that Eddie Murphy was influenced by Richard Pryor but that's not how Wikipedia works. We need to have a quote from Murphy published in a reliable source where he specifically makes that statement in order for it to be included in the infobox. In the main body of the article, though, it could be a different matter. An analysis section of Murphy's stand-up comedy could very well include that analysis from Allmusic with the appropriate citation. If Allmusic would clarify that they're influence information is based on the statements of the artists in question and not on their critical analyses then it might be fine to use that information in our infoboxes. Till then I remain rather skeptical. SQGibbon (talk) 02:26, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I have noticed that some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Shattered (song), have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you to seek consensus for certain edits. Thank you.  R ad io pa th y  •talk•  22:04, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to How Many More Times, without providing a source and without establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you.  R ad io pa th y  •talk•  00:48, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 29
Hi. When you recently edited Primal Scream, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page My Bloody Valentine (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

All games
I am removing some of the all game reviews that you have added. As several of them do not have an explanation for the star rating that is given, and cannot be seen as an actually review. But I am glad to see that at least all games with some of its reviews has gotten better. NathanWubs (talk) 06:54, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I also suggest that you make mention of allgames in the reception section, instead of just adding the review to the review score box. NathanWubs (talk) 07:06, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

I concur with the above. Allgames isn't a very notable reviewer, and they often don't give deep explanations for their reviews. Harizotoh9 (talk) 07:05, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
