Hello, I'm Binksternet. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Anderson .Paak have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 05:28, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Not promotional...One of Anderson Paak's associated acts does include "Big Wax" he's worked with Wax (Michael Jones)and Dumbfounded for many years. Anderson Paak, Wax, Dumbfoundead and Elememts of Music, all did the "Wintervention" tour together. Just facts. Ghostinthepines (talk) 10:38, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Anderson .Paak. 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. Binksternet (talk) 05:37, 9 August 2021 (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.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Anderson .Paak. Binksternet (talk) 03:15, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Associated acts
The instructions at Template:Infobox_musical_artist tell us that every listed act must be "notable" (they must have a Wikipedia page written about them) and they must have collaborated multiple times. Binksternet (talk) 05:40, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Both Wax and EOM took part in Anderson Paak's early music career and both artists are notable in their own right. Wax was on Def Jam at that time and the late EOM (Elements of Music) was a producer on some of Anderson's early works. All three were ( and are still) friends and all were devastated by EOM's passing.

EOM, Wax and Anderson Paak (Aka Breezy Love joy Aka Cheeky Andy) Dumbfoundead All were on the Wintervention tour together in 2013.

Anderson Paak (also known as Breezy Lovejoy at the time), Wax, EOM, Dumbfoundead collabed on the following:

Cellphone

Summer Breeze

I'm on it

Both Wax and EOM (Aka Elements of Music) have their own Wikipedia pages.

I truly hope this is enough information...Wax and EOM helped Anderson get his start and though not as notable They are important to mention... Thank you✌ Ghostinthepines (talk) 08:37, 9 August 2021 (UTC)


 * No, these cannot be listed as "associated acts". Neither of them have a Wikipedia page written about the band. The page Wax is about wax, not the group. The page Elements of music is about musicology, not the group. They will "deserve" to be listed when they deserve to have a Wikipedia page written about them. The requirements for that can be seen at WP:NBAND. Don't add those two acts again. Binksternet (talk) 03:19, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Wax (Michael Jones) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_(rapper)

You are correct EOM doesn't have a wiki page which is a shame he was amazing. Ghostinthepines (talk) 03:48, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
