Guideline and policy news
 * Following an RfC, TFAs will be automatically semi-protected the day before it is on the main page and through the day after.
 * A discussion at WP:VPP about revision deletion and oversight for dead names found that [s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment.

Technical news
 * Special:Contributions now shows the user's local edit count and the account's creation date.

Arbitration
 * The SmallCat dispute case has closed. As part of the final decision, editors participating in XfD have been reminded to be careful about forming local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged to note when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful.

X-Dinero, rock band
Hello, the page I am trying to edit is ours. X-Dinero is the rock band I work with, and I am attempting to update the information with accurate data because the existing information is incorrect. I don't quite understand how to do it, as all the modifications in English are being rejected. This was the text I modified.

X-Dinero

X-Dinero is a Peruvian Rock-SKA band hailing from Arequipa, formed in 1997 following the disbandment of the progressive rock group Baretto. From their inception, the band has been on a mission to craft original and authentic music while navigating the challenges of the music industry.

History

Right after their formation, X-Dinero wasted no time recording their debut album, aptly titled "TRISTE REALIDAD" (Sad Reality), which starkly illustrates the challenges of making music for commercial gain. In a twist of fate, the album defied expectations and became a resounding success, earning iconic status among the rock enthusiasts of southern Peru. Songs like "Lucho," "Pérez," "Maneras," "Ella besa así," "Abriré tu corazón," "Velero," and "Calatito" not only dominated music charts but also found a home on countless radio stations.

This meteoric success earned them invitations to a slew of rock festivals across Peru, including the prestigious International Cusqueña Beer Festival, Feria del Hogar, and various radio festivals in Lima and the southern region. The band embarked on extensive nationwide tours, and their rising star eventually caught the attention of the IEMPSA record label, which led to the recording of their second album, "POR LAS HUEVAS" (For the Sake of It). The album featured standout tracks like "Mamá no me quiero casar," "Pincelada," "Dame tu amor," "Photo vegetal," and "Corazón de Lata," cementing X-Dinero's status as a formidable Peruvian band.

Their third album, "TOCAR FONDO Y BRILLAR" (Hit Bottom and Shine), recorded independently in Lima in 2010 and meticulously mixed and mastered in Colombia, became a musical touchstone across Peru. Tracks like "El ultimo huayno," "París," "La Suegra," and "Tocar fondo y brillar" morphed into unforgettable anthems, securing X-Dinero's place on the airwaves not only in their homeland but also in neighboring countries like Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia.

With three successful albums under their belt, X-Dinero proved to be a versatile force in popular music, seamlessly traversing genres like rock, reggae, and ska while offering danceable and irreverent tunes designed for pure enjoyment.

International Stint

In November and December of 2019, X-Dinero embarked on an international tour in Mexico, playing thirteen gigs across different states. This historic feat marked a significant milestone for a Peruvian band.

Upcoming Release

This year, the band is gearing up for the release of their fourth album, "El Endeudado" (The Indebted), featuring 13 tracks recorded in Arequipa. The album was mixed and mastered in Argentina and promises to deliver exciting surprises. It is set to launch from Mexico with the participation of guest musicians.

Contributions to Popular Culture

X-Dinero's songs have made their mark in popular culture, with their tracks featured in the soundtracks of two highly acclaimed Peruvian comedy films: "Macho Peruano que se Respeta" and "Hasta que la suegra nos separe."

Influences and Comparisons

X-Dinero's fusion of rock, reggae, and ska draws inspiration from a rich tradition of bands that have pioneered similar sounds. Comparable to legendary groups like Manu Chao, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, and Gondwana, X-Dinero shines as a testament to the enduring appeal of Latin American ska and reggae fusion.

And this is the text in spanish:

X-Dinero

X-Dinero es una banda peruana de Rock-SKA originaria de Arequipa, formada en 1997 tras la disolución de la banda de rock progresivo Baretto. Desde sus inicios, la banda ha tenido la misión de crear música original y auténtica mientras navega por los desafíos de la industria musical.

Historia

Inmediatamente después de su formación, X-Dinero no perdió tiempo y grabó su álbum debut, titulado de manera apropiada "TRISTE REALIDAD", que ilustra de manera vívida los desafíos de hacer música con fines comerciales. En un giro del destino, el álbum desafió todas las expectativas y se convirtió en un rotundo éxito, ganando estatus icónico entre los entusiastas del rock del sur de Perú. Canciones como "Lucho," "Pérez," "Maneras," "Ella besa así," "Abriré tu corazón," "Velero," y "Calatito" no solo dominaron las listas de música, sino que también encontraron su hogar en innumerables estaciones de radio.

Este éxito meteórico les valió invitaciones a una serie de festivales de rock en todo Perú, incluyendo el prestigioso Festival Internacional de la Cerveza Cusqueña, la Feria del Hogar y varios festivales de radio en Lima y la región sur. La banda emprendió extensas giras por todo el país, y su estrella en ascenso finalmente llamó la atención del sello discográfico IEMPSA, lo que condujo a la grabación de su segundo álbum, "POR LAS HUEVAS". El álbum incluyó destacadas canciones como "Mamá no me quiero casar," "Pincelada," "Dame tu amor," "Photo vegetal," y "Corazón de Lata", afianzando el estatus de X-Dinero como una formidable banda peruana.

Su tercer álbum, "TOCAR FONDO Y BRILLAR," grabado de manera independiente en Lima en 2010 y meticulosamente mezclado y masterizado en Colombia, se convirtió en un referente musical en todo Perú. Temas como "El ultimo huayno," "París," "La Suegra," y "Tocar fondo y brillar" se transformaron en himnos inolvidables, asegurando el lugar de X-Dinero en las ondas no solo en su tierra natal, sino también en países vecinos como Chile, Argentina y Bolivia.

Con tres exitosos álbumes en su haber, X-Dinero demostró ser una fuerza versátil en la música popular, transitando sin esfuerzo entre géneros como el rock, el reggae y el ska, ofreciendo canciones bailables e irreverentes diseñadas para el puro disfrute.

Gira Internacional

En noviembre y diciembre de 2019, X-Dinero emprendió una gira internacional en México, con trece conciertos en diferentes estados. Este logro histórico marcó un hito significativo para una banda peruana.

Próximo Lanzamiento

Este año, la banda se prepara para el lanzamiento de su cuarto álbum, "El Endeudado", que incluye 13 canciones grabadas en Arequipa. El álbum fue mezclado y masterizado en Argentina y promete ofrecer emocionantes sorpresas. Será lanzado desde México con la colaboración de músicos invitados.

Contribuciones a la Cultura Popular

Las canciones de X-Dinero han dejado su huella en la cultura popular, con sus temas incluidos en la banda sonora de dos exitosas películas de comedia peruanas: "Macho Peruano que se Respeta" y "Hasta que la suegra nos separe".

Influencias y Comparaciones

La fusión de X-Dinero de rock, reggae y ska se inspira en una rica tradición de bandas que han liderado estilos similares. Comparables a legendarios grupos como Manu Chao, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs y Gondwana, X-Dinero brilla como un testimonio del duradero atractivo de la fusión de ska y reggae latinoamericano.

I'm surprised it clears our our notability standards in the first place, and it is strongly discouraged to edit subjects you are connected to. This is to prevent possible issues with neutrality.

 * I do not understand your surprise, in the message that YOU send me they do not indicate that I break any rule, in the message it tells me that, "one or more of your recent additions was removed because it appeared to be in a language other than English. We can only accept English-language text on this version of Wikipedia", that is why my response was that my text was sent in English, I am sorry that you cannot understand that or that not all the observations were sent to me, the article is a biography totally neutral Miguelipe (talk) 00:00, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
