Hello, I'm Kb03. I noticed that you recently removed content from I Had a Beautiful Time 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.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Universal Music Group Nashville, you may be blocked from editing.  Rob van  vee  06:58, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Verify your edits
Evan, as you will no doubt have noticed, I have reverted many of your unsourced edits and there are still many I need to sort through. I'm sure that may come across as somewhat disparaging but may I request that you read this policy and when you do decide to make the sort of edits you favor, you do so with reliable sources accompanying them. If referencing is new to you then please read referencing for beginners. Thank you.  Rob van  vee  08:14, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Somebody's Needin' Somebody.  'It seems you have chosen to ignore my warnings as well as my personal plea above. If you continue adding unsourced information, I will be left with no choice other than to report this to WP:ANI.''

ANI-notice
There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.  Rob van  vee  15:58, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Evan, please cite your sources when adding or changing content on Wikipedia. In, you cited liner notes for your changes. Some of your other edits look like they might also be based on liner notes. However, you haven't given us any idea where you found this content. Please also note that communication is required because Wikipedia is a collaborative website. When people raise issues on your talk page (and at admin forums), you're expected to communicate. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:33, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at He's Mine (Billy Ray Cyrus song). Binksternet (talk) 05:23, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
 * To me, it looks like you've been doing your thing on Wikipedia since at least July 2015 using Special:Contributions/98.111.115.31, changing in late February 2016 to Special:Contributions/74.99.146.113. In September 2016 you stopped using that one and changed to Special:Contributions/173.67.188.226, working that address until April 2018. Thousands of edits are involved, and I'm probably missing big chunks. None of your IP contributions had references, and at no time did you communicate on a talk page or in an edit summary.
 * At Halloween 2018 you started using Special:Contributions/152.208.57.111, but you were blocked four times, the most recent one being a year-long block starting in January 2020. You registered the EvanTheMusicMan username in September 2020. Anybody who registers a username while being blocked in an IP address is violating the WP:MULTIPLE guideline. Binksternet (talk) 06:17, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for unresponsively, disruptively ignoring community concerns, edit warring, persistently adding unsourced content. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:51, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

PLEASE UNBLOCK ME!!!!!

 * A few examples of your bad edits:


 * Removing Michael Crossno on guitar. Crossno is listed at AllMusic credits and he's listed on the album liner notes.
 * Specifying one song for trumpet, trombone and saxes. AllMusic does not break out the horns as participating in only one song, and neither does the album liner notes. It may be possible that these guys only contributed to one song on the album, but you have cited no published source for that information.
 * Removing three backing vocalists. These vocalists are listed at AllMusic, and they are listed at the album liner notes.
 * Before you get unblocked, you need to acknowledge the problems you have caused by adding credits without references, and by taking away valid credits. You need to convince an administrator that you understand why you were blocked, and that you will not repeat the problems. Binksternet (talk) 04:35, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Unblock Request

 * , you decided to give this user another chance but they have gone straight back to doing exactly what they were blocked for in the first place, the repeated addition of unsourced info.  Rob van  vee  05:15, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Sorry!
,, Sorry, I'll go add sources right now. By the way, the Morgan Wallen album, in terms of producers, was wrong. I looked at that particular source and found that the information was wrong, so I corrected it. Just click on the source and you'll see that I made the right correction. If you look at the page for his "Dangerous:The Double Album", it lists the correct producers right below the track listing. The page is all corrected now. Don't block me again! That was a nightmare to get unblocked in the first place.

Please find a better source for this. I don't want to revert it, I like what you did, but online retails are WP:NOTRSMUSIC and I will. (But not if you fix it first.) Maybe Discogs? It's also WP:NOTRSMUSIC but you can cite the artwork if it's got the year. Yappy2bhere (talk) 21:37, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to the article Currensy discography. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, your own website, websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight, expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or that rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions, as one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. NB: iTunes is not a reliable source, per WP:WikiProject Albums/Sources Yappy2bhere (talk) 02:22, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2022 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:48, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Little Bit of Life (song). This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Continuing the disruption of Pennsylvania IP Special:Contributions/173.67.142.14. Binksternet (talk) 01:58, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Hello, I'm TenPoundHammer. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions&#32;to Mr. Misunderstood have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. I own the album and it doesn't have any liner notes at all, nor any other musician credits. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 18:25, 22 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi TenPoundHammer, I wasn't engaging in an edit war. I recently found the liner notes on Discogs.com. Is there another source you want me to use? Can I try and add the personnel to that album again? I swear that it's the correct liner notes. I don't edit things unless it's the correct information. Or should I leave the page as is for now? EvanTheMusicMan (talk) 03:36, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Discogs is not a reliable source, as its content is generated by users and could be prone to misinformation or vandalism. I own a copy of Mr. Misunderstood and it does not have any musician credits in it whatsoever. Even AllMusic doesn't list any musician credits, which corresponds to my copy of the album. I'd say leave it alone for now, especially since you're doing things like citing "album notes" for a digital-only EP. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 04:18, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for continual unconstructive editing of numerous kinds, as documented above, including persistently violating the undertakings you gave which were the basis for lifting the previous block, in the section of this page headed "November 2020". If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

EvanTheMusicMan (talk) 01:41, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Requesting an unblock so soon after being told to take substantial time away and come back under WP:SO will count against you. I very, very strongly recommend you remove your open unblock request before someone reviews it, declines it, and closes down your talk page access. --Yamla (talk) 22:02, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Yamla, I don't want to take a six month break. I want to be back editing as soon as possible. How much time should I spend on an editing break? I have high-functioning autism and I want to be back on this site ASAP. This block feels like having my phone taken away from me. I need some advice. I acknowledge that I messed up but don't really know how to express it. I'm kind of getting desperate at this point. Can you please reconsider your decline please?
 * You should take at least a six month break from en.wikipedia. At least. Maybe longer. During that time, you should find another project to contribute to. You should be careful there, then make a substantial number of contributions over many months with no problems. Then, no sooner than 2023-08-25, come back here, show us these contributions and show that you were able to contribute with no problems. I'll warn you, I think it's unlikely you'll be ready to do this by 2023-08-25, and you certainly won't be ready before that date. --Yamla (talk) 11:04, 25 February 2023 (UTC)


 * While not the specific reason for the decline, I would also note that we would want to see contributions somewhere they can actually be verified, and while I'm glad you're proud of your work with maps, I don't think there is a way to verify what you've done with those. There are many other Wikimedia projects, such as Wikisource, Wikiquote, Wikimedia Commons, and so on. Additionally, if you speak any language other than English, there are Wikipedias in many other languages. Being blocked on the English Wikipedia doesn't affect your ability to participate in any other Wikimedia project, so if you can demonstrate positive contributions without disruption on one of those projects while you are waiting, that would go a long way toward helping with a future appeal.
