Please do not add or change content, as you did at Theremin, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Was the note unclear? DonIago (talk) 13:51, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Citation
The Wikipedia entry for Angelo Moore linked to my addition lists the theremin as an instrument he plays. Why would any other "citation" be required? Hielanjam (talk) 22:02, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia links are unacceptable as references per WP:CIRCULAR, if that's what you're getting at. Also, there is an inline note that clearly stipulates that citations must be provided to establish relevance. DonIago (talk) 17:22, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Did you read the inline note? Among other things it says you should start a discussion at the article's Talk page before making additions, and as I noted before, the sources provided must establish relevance. Please follow these instructions. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 13:48, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Citation
I have added a citation (indeed 2) and this all seems a tad ott for what is a simple and minor addition to the article. It is not exactly a unknown or controversial fact ... Hielanjam (talk) 14:41, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Which part of the inline note asking editors to discuss possible additions at the article's Talk page before adding them is unclear? DonIago (talk) 14:47, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Completely unnecessary and frustrating for what is a perfectly acceptable and factual addition showing a current musician who has used and promoted the instrument and would be a great addition ...As a musician and someone who has witnessed him live I just tried to give him some credit for it...but I really can't be bothered anymore with these obstructive and pedantic actions Hielanjam (talk) 12:17, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
 * The question has never been whether it's factual; the question has been whether it's relevant to the history of the theremin; the source is needed to address the latter question. And if you can't be bothered to follow as simple a request as "please ask at the Talk page before adding additional entries", then I'm not sure Wikipedia is really the place for you in any case.
