Hello, I'm TenPoundHammer. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Tracy Byrd seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Your edit did not adhere to neutral point of view. Terminology like "renowned honky tonk", "both party pleasers and ballads", and "strong performance" are not neutral in tone and give off a sense of the writer promoting the artist. Also wikipedia articles should not be written in the second person ("you").

A more neutral way to write the section would be to say something like this:

"In November 2019, Byrd released a live album entitled Live at Billy Bob's Texas. It was was recorded at Billy Bob's Texas, a country music-themed concert hall in Fort Worth, Texas. The performance's set list features several of Byrd's hit singles along with popular album cuts. The corresponding performance was simultaneously issued on DVD."

 * Please read the above again. Your information that you're adding is not neutral in tone; please read this page for our concerns on neutrality. The passage I quoted above shows a more neutral way to phrase the information that you want. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 17:41, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

I believe my last edit followed the rules. I did include a phrase that you suggested, "several of Byrd's hit singles" which an anonymous user then edited out, and I think complained about. I am trying to go by the rules here, I'm definately not intending to do what's being suggested of me. My original edits were written after a style that I have seen on the page, which I now realize were cited published remarks, and mine were merely my opinion. I now understand the difference.

There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 17:44, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Catitude98, I have closed this thread at ANI. You are new to Wikipedia and are clearly not familar with our policies around editing.  I advise you to take note of the advice given to you on this Talk Page, particularly regarding the fact that content added must have a proper source/reference, per WP:RS. thanks. 20:12, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

I just now saw this. I've been confused as to why it was constantly being deleted, and I'd thought it was a bot doing it! Thanks for your input and I will do my best to rewrite it as you suggest. Sorry for the trouble, and again thanks! Catitude98 (talk) 17:52, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Catitude98, I'd strongly suggest you not add anything else to a Wikipedia article unless it's accompanied by WP:RELIABLE sources, and is written in a completely flat tone. If you choose to continue adding fanzine content, I'll ask that this account be blocked. Thanks, 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 18:03, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
