Sheck Wes
Hi. After your edit to Sheck Wes, I noticed some errors in the table markup. Please go to the page history and select to view your version (<- or just click that), then select to edit it, then fix everything using the button to check everything is correct, then republish when you're sure the result will be correct. Your effort is not lost, it was just a bit broken, and can be retrieved easily. Please try again; thank you :)  00:44, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
 * There's no point now, it'll take forever to put all of that back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brandnewflipflops (talk • contribs) 00:46, August 17, 2019 (UTC)
 * No it won't. Follow this link to your version as you left it then select edit as normal. You will then be editing your work as you left it. Just fix the errors, checking with that it's all good, then publish when it is. There's no need to worry.   00:50, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
 * So you see now that the difference between how you originally left it, and how it is now you have fixed it is quite small. I hope you're feeling good about this experience :)  01:41, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Just in case you were confused by any of this, here are a couple of help pages you might find, dare I say, helpful? Help:Page history and Help:Diff are all about navigating the changes to and previous editions of pages on Wikipedia (and other MediaWiki wikis). When an edit is reverted, it doesn't cease to exist, it is just not showing as the current version of the page. We can go back into the history of the page and even edit an older version to save as a new version. It's like time travel without the awkward paradoxes ;)  01:52, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brandnewflipflops (talk • contribs) 02:08, August 17, 2019 (UTC)
 * No problem :) While I'm here:
 * Please always sign your comments on talk pages by leaving four tildes at the end of your comment like this.
 * Please indent your comments to form logical threads; see WP:THREAD for details.
 * Please always leave a descriptive edit summary when you make changes.
 * Please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page if you need help with anything in the future, or if I'm not around, you can ask for help by placing (click on the link for more details) on the your talk page (this one) or on the respective talk page wherever the help is needed.
 * Thanks for your effort :)  02:20, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

Do not add the weekly charts subheading until there are other types of charts listed
Weekly charts are the primary form of charts, and it is generally known all charts listed are weekly unless otherwise specified. Adding it as a subheading when there are no other types (year-end, sometimes even monthly) charts listed is redundant, so we don't do it. Please don't waste your time adding it to any more articles, it will be promptly removed.  Ss  112   20:19, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, please be mindful of the formatting you're using when adding singles to rappers' articles. Make sure the wikitables say "Wikitable plainrowheaders", and use scope="row"| before every song title like this, where I've just fixed up your contributions on NLE Choppa. Thank you.  Ss  112   20:54, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

August 2019
Please do not add or change content, as you did at NLE Choppa, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.  Ss  112   03:26, 21 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Regarding your edit summary, you didn't add any sources. Check what? Using references as notes is not appropriate. There are specific footnote templates to use for that. Also, yet again after being asked above, you failed to add "wikitable plainrowheaders" when adding the title for a mixtape here, so it showed in bold. If you disregard the MOS in future edits, regardless of whatever you have added, you will be reverted outright.  Ss  112   03:29, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Scope row
I added scope row above the thing, I don't really understand — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brandnewflipflops (talk • contribs) 04:25, August 21, 2019 (UTC)
 * The scope attribute is used to improve accessibility, particular for screen readers. Simply: If a table header is the header for a column, we add "col" or on a row header, "row". The function is defined at Mozilla Developer Network's site on this page about advanced table features and accessibility. For MediaWiki (including Wikipedia) wikis, see Help:Table for a lot of examples.  14:47, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Taylor Swift's album had NOT been released at the time you updated the article
You do realize the album is still under a strict embargo to not be released until midnight US time, right? Don't assume every album is released at midnight in every country, especially for big pop albums.  Ss  112   03:39, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Smokepurpp. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:30, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

Stop misusing the edit summary "cleanup"
Judging by this edit, you clearly don't know what "cleanup" means. You've caused more things that need to be cleaned up than you've actually cleaned up yourself. Absolutely none of your edits have been cleaning up anything. Describe what you've actually done and leave actual cleanup to editors who know what they're doing. Or, you know, stop using Visual Edit, which screws up the formatting of a page even more. Thanks.  Ss  112   03:49, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Young M.A. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Stop restoring your edit, it wasn't helpful, and your use of Visual Edit is messing everything up.  Ss  112   17:14, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Also, stop changing "EPs" to "extended plays" everywhere. EP is a more concise and recognisable term; use of one should not be changed to the other. Leave it as it is on the article you found out. You will be reverted if you continue to do this.  Ss  112   17:14, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Your user page
Hi Brandnewflipflops. Thanks for your contributions to the project. However, I noticed that you have a section on your user page that appears to be highly critical of another editor. Wikipedia is not a social media website or blog. While there is some tolerance for personalizing ones user page, we prefer that it not be used in a manner inconsistent with the objectives of the project. And attacking other editors is a no no. If you have issues with someone try to work it out in a talk page discussion or ask for mediation. See also WP:DR for other tips. For now I would ask that you please delete that section of your user page. Please also see WP:UP for guidelines on userpages. Thanks again for your work on the project. It is much appreciated. -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:14, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
