You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at The Cars (album). ''What was the point of the edit? It appears to be bad faith and low quality.'' ItsCheck (talk) 23:11, 28 September 2023 (UTC)


 * The edit I made the The Cars album page was absolutely not either bad faith or vandalism. If you disagree with the edit, you can revert if and give your reason but the edit did not cause any damage to the information of the page. HGP7 (talk) 00:07, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I won't revert it unless it was a bad faith edit. What was the motive behind it? ItsCheck (talk) 23:22, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * On other album pages I have seen like Their Satanic Majesties Request where all songs are written by the same person or same people with the exception of one, they would just list the song at the top (i.e all songs written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards except "In Another Land" by Bill Wyman). I was just simplifying the writing credits on The Cars (album) since only one was not solely written by Ric Ocasek. HGP7 (talk) 23:28, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Returning to this, I have put the edit back as no response was given, and I believe my case is fair based on WikiProject Albums/Album article style advice. HGP7 (talk) 01:07, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Nirvana song writing credits
Hi HGP7, regarding the song writing credits of Nirvana's Nevermind songs, although the original 1991 liner notes say that lyrics were by Kurt Cobain and music was by Nirvana, there has been some updates since then which anyone familiar with the detail of Nirvana's history would be aware of. Firstly, on both the From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah from album from 1996 and the Nirvana album from 2002, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is the only Nevermind song where all three band members are given writing credits, the rest are accredited to Kurt Cobain. Also, the Nevermind 20th anniversary Deluxe and Super Deluxe releases, and Nevermind 30th anniversary Deluxe and Super Deluxe releases also say in the liner notes that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was the only Nevermind song written by all three band members and that the rest were all written by Kurt Cobain. Wikipedia also prefers published books as sources and I know there are many that back up the fact that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was the only song on Nevermind written by all three.QuintusPetillius (talk) 07:59, 13 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Hey there QuintusPetillius, you do raise a valid point about the songs writing credits, I was unaware at the time of what those other releases said so I will reverse the edits HGP7 (talk) 21:38, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Personnel sections
Hi. Please stop editing personnel sections without providing a reliable source for those changes. On the Radiohead articles you have edited, for example, you have added changes that don't reflect the given sources. Thanks. Popcornfud (talk) 16:34, 30 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hey there, If you are referring to the edits I made to the personnel sections for The Bends and OK Computer, which I believe are the only ones, those edits were made to reflect what the CD liner notes said (such as adding string arrangements or changing vocals to voice). If there is confusion around specifically the string arrangements, they are still listed in the liner notes just in different parts. Thanks HGP7 (talk) 16:38, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi there. I took a look at the liner notes for The Bends and Karma Police but I couldn't see info that matched the changes you made in those articles. It's possible I misread them or missed something — if so, please let me know here and we can adjust the articles again. Popcornfud (talk) 16:51, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * After looking over again, I am still confident in my edit for The Bends but you are right about Karma Police, that was my mistake HGP7 (talk) 17:06, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * You're right — the "string arrangements" credit is on a different page from the rest of the band credits. Thanks for that. Popcornfud (talk) 17:12, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * On that topic, please undo this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Out_of_Time_(album)&diff=next&oldid=1229816933 ―Justin ( koa v f ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:58, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The edit I made is not unsourced, it’s from the CD. If there is another issue that I am overlooking, I am willing to hear it out HGP7 (talk) 02:01, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Please reinsert the track names, not numbers. ―Justin ( koa v f ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:17, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I can make that change, I will be keeping the additional information I added though. Although, it may make the personnel extra wordy. HGP7 (talk) 02:22, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks kindly. ―Justin ( koa v f ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:15, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
 * No problem, it has been done HGP7 (talk) 03:26, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
