Hello, I'm HarrySONofBARRY. I noticed that you recently removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

 * The information you are editing into the history of afrobeat is incorrect. Be sure you are providing accurate and credible information to the page. I don't want to have to report you to the community. Thanks Dafricanprince (talk) 19:39, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello, your changes involved removing sourced information. If you'd like to dispute said information, please raise a discussion on the articles talk page (preferably with relevant sources and explanation as to why the current information is incorrect). Removal of sourced content is prone to be reversed, and a consensus should be reached rather than entering into a WP:EDITWAR. HarrySONofBARRY (talk) 23:28, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello, no information was removed. I simply added in the location of the origin of afrobeat which is "Nigeria." I also included other music genres that have been historically documented and credited to have influenced afrobeat as well. If you would like to dispute these facts as reported by every major/credible publication and media, please raise discussion on the article talk page.

 * Hello, you removed multiple pieces of sourced information while adding multiple elements of unsourced material. Your additions need to be supported by WP:RELIABLE sources, you have not added any as of yet. HarrySONofBARRY (talk) 01:51, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello, you keep removing factual community contribution to this page. This is a violation to the Code of Practice. Per Community Guideline contributors cannot have any personal affiliation to the topic. And it would appear that you do. You are demonstrating this by removing factual information like afrobeat place of origin and intentionally including the expansion of Highlife music genre without entertaining other genres that influenced afrobeat creation.

 * Please assume WP:GOODFAITH when engaging with editors, if you believe I have a conflict of interest then you may report it to the [relevant people]. However, as I've stated a few times now, your edits involved removal of sourced content and additions of unsourced content, all-the-while not explaining any of your edits. If you have sources that support the information you wish to add, then that's not a problem - but you've not yet provided any. HarrySONofBARRY (talk) 22:25, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Not sure what source you are referring to when I'm mostly restating what has been already stated and provided on the page. My assumption of your intent still stand. It would appear that you are attempting to portray a one-sided narrative on this page-- Which is inserting your personal viewpoints. This is a community page after-all. BTW I provide my reasons for adding in my edit previously. Thank you. Dafricanprince (talk) 23:49, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Your most recent edits are less problematic than your original one, but let me give you an example. You name an instrument, "ìyáàlù". A google search in relation to "afrobeat" returns 12 results. None of them, at first glance, reference the "ìyáàlù" in relation to afrobeat, which makes it original research. Likewise, you state that fela kuti and tony allen "grew up listening" to Fuji/juju music, but don't provide a source supporting this statement. Do you have sources that support these statements? This is all that is being asked of you, there's no conspiracy. HarrySONofBARRY (talk) 01:50, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * With all due respect, this is my reason for my stating your personal bias and stake on the topic. And that is a violation of the community guidelines. Your original entry stated that Fela and Tony Allen grew up listening to which there are no sources to back this up. Please provide the source for this. You also removed Fela's (creator of afrobeat) cultural origin and expanded on just one of his musical influence to afrobeat [Highlife]. Kindly help me understand that?

 * You're welcome to remove information if you believe it is not supported by the source given on that paragraph. Do you have sources to support your additions? HarrySONofBARRY (talk) 13:12, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I am pleased that user johnnuniq stepped in protect the integrity of this page by removing your deceptive input and editing in a more accurate version of the history of afrobeat. A bit thank you to the Wiki community for maintaining a fair an unbiased approach to this topic. I'm pleased with this version as it reflects a more accurate history of afrobeat. Dafricanprince (talk) 16:09, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * They added protection to the page (which I requested), the edit of content was done by me after I went to look for sources myself, since this conversation wasn't going anywhere, which I was hoping you would've done or helped with 5 or so messages prior. Please refrain from making WP:NOPA personal attacks going forward. HarrySONofBARRY (talk) 17:04, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
