If 6 Was 9
Hey, nice edit to the Hendrix article. Two things you should be aware of when you make great edits like this. One, briefly describe the changes you have made in the edit summary before you click save. That helps other editors see what you are doing in the recent changes and watchlists. Two, get in the habit of using sources. You write, "but Eddie Kramer the engineer on the session says Hendrix bought a secondhand recorder from a street vendor and used this", but the reader has no way of checking up on this. Where did you hear it? If it's a liner note, interview, or whatever, say so and I'll help you add the right reference. Thanks, and keep up the good work. &mdash;Viriditas | Talk 02:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for adding the source. Please note that the source you added has the wrong title and author, and will require a page number for verification.  The actual title is Hendrix: Setting the Record Straight, and the correct author is John McDermott.  The contributing author is Kramer.  Also, please get in the habit of filling out edit summaries.  Thanks.  I've provided instructions for edit summaries below.  Happy editing. &mdash;Viriditas | Talk 08:57, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:  The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field - please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. &mdash;Viriditas | Talk 08:57, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

References in Jimi Hendrix article
The way you have inserted references to four books like here is not adequate. Please read WP:CITE on how to cite properly. You are essentially just mentioning four book titles again and again over and over. Readers should instead be able to see where particular information can be verified; e.g., though page numbers in specific references. The way you have done it is simply not detailed enough.--HJensen, talk 14:36, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi friend
Welcome to Wikipedia, it might be a good idea to read WP:MUSTARD if you haven't... most articles/user pages have a discussion page... this is your discussion page. Feel free to reply to this here. By the way, when discussing things on an article's talk page, you don't need to start a new header every time you write something. If you want to reply to what someone has written on a talk page you just put this symbol before the first word of what you write : - I hope this helps. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. Scarian Call me Pat 21:49, 1 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Just a small note about the ongoing discussion about your edits in the Jimi Hendrix article: I've made all your new sections subsections of the discussion, so please use three equal signs (" ") on each side for new sections; that way they'll fall under the next level heading and make things easier to follow there. Thanks. +ILike2BeAnonymous (talk) 22:40, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Edits to Hendrix article
Hi. I haven't read your new edits yet, but I noticed that you inserted a lot of tags. That is fine, but I don't think you need to have square brackets around the text you think need to be cited. It makes the article appear even more of a draft that it does already. Also, you may want to use the sandbox when editing (or copy the text into another editor). This will enable you to come off with fewer, but larger edits (remember edit summaries) thereby making it easier for other editors to assess what you have been doing (compared with now where you make numerous small edits within short time). Happy editing --HJensen, talk 21:17, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi der mr Jensen the square brackets are there to clearly point out extremely contentious and often unproveable assertion in this article (regardless if they are supplied with references)that are embedded in an otherwise acceptable text. Basically someone needs take most of this out as it brings the article into extreme disrepute and propagates myths and mis-information that has unfortunately, through constant repetition become regarded as fact, despite (relatively) recently researched and publicised, more accurate information. I have no desire to puff up this article, most of my earlier large edits were just my way of explaining the various mistakes in the previous article (not knowing how else to communicate at the time) hence the frequent "or"s a device to juxtapose the less hyperbolic or more rational explanations and sometimes the actual facts to some wild speculation and/or hyperbole. I naively asumed that the many Hendrixc fans at wiki would rush to check out the recent info and when they found it to be verifiable would incorporate said entries into the article. As this suff is quoted (for some unknown reason) on the BBC site etc. it should be a priorty edit.

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 15:27, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

In this one case - "Christ"gau, a different site -, I may have strayed into uncited personal opinion in passing (two words only!). How about instead of the wilfully exaggerated "Your edits" and "have been" you restricted yourself to "Your edit" and "has been". If adding two words of possible personal opinion (I think I could come up with a few cites to support this definition) to an article in wikipedia can be condemned as "vandalism" and you apply this universally across wikipedia you have a very busy time ahead of you - eternity springs to mind.Jameselmo (talk) 02:02, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

All of my edits are well researched and usually come with pertinent 'Refs'/'cites' from well respected publications on Hendrix, frequently from the man himself or those close to him,(all will eventually and "soon" compared with stuff that's been here forever), I have included many recently and far more than appear to have been to many of the innacurate or misleading statements still left) NOT from record companies slavishly puffed handouts, uneducated opinion and sensational, lazy rock magazine fluff, they are only corrections to the blatant vandalism, plagiarism, hyperbole, inaccuracy, trivial nonsense etc. etc. in the Jimi Hendrix article, in no-way can this be construed as "vandalism". Jameselmo (talk) 02:02, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Copy-and-paste page moves
Hello,. Concerning your contribution, Stepping Stone (Hendrix song), a page move cannot be done by simply copying and pasting the contents of a page into a new location, as such a process does not transfer the page's edit history and therefore violates the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). As a violation of the page move process, Stepping Stone (Hendrix song) needs to be temporarily deleted under the speedy deletion criteria so that may be properly moved in a way that will preserve its edit history. Stepping Stone (Hendrix song) has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. If not, please refrain from editing either or Stepping Stone (Hendrix song) until the latter has been deleted according to Wikipedia's speedy criterion G6 (non-controversial housekeeping).

If you did not intend to make a page move, then please insert the hangon tag right below the db-copypaste tag in Stepping Stone (Hendrix song) and state your intentions on Talk:Stepping Stone (Hendrix song). An administrator will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do. Thank you for your contributions. Daltxn (talk) 19:26, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Rainbow bridge (film)
Hi. This edit consists of erroneous information and I've reverted it as a result. The area is nowhere near Dairy Road, is accurately called "Upcountry", and the volcano has not been considered active since 1792. I don't know where you are getting your information or why you are making these changes, but they are wrong. Unfortunately, I'm considering removing the rest of your additions to this article based on this pattern. Viriditas (talk) 09:51, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Your recent edits to Jimi Hendrix appear somewhat confused. You accidentally mess up the style (in terms of inline citations), and make up new templates as you go along ("cite LP"). It just doesn't work. The article is enough of a mess in terms of citation styles already. Please try out your edits on a test page beforehand. Cheers. --HJensen, talk 11:43, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Personal attacks

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Ward3001 (talk) 23:32, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

You threatened me,that is a personal attack. You stay cool, you read some. All listed influences had songs covered by Hendrix, including Buddy Guy is going too far, Hendrix never recorded a Buddy Guy song, he only jammed with him once in 1968 after his fame, to include all quoted influences of Hendrix would result in a huge catalog - you want, I can reference.Jameselmo (talk) 18:53, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

 * First, stop putting messages on user pages; they belong on user talk pages. Secondly, stop telling me that I'm threatening you. Thats the second time you've done that for no legitimate reason. Legitimate warnings (which is the case here) are not threats. You need to watch your tone. And it is irrelevant how much I have contributed and how much you have contributed to the article. Your contributions, large or small, do not allow you to violate Wikipedia's policies, especially WP:V, WP:NOR, WP:CITE, and WP:RS. You have a single purpose account, and you have repeatedly run roughshod over Wikipedia's policies for a very long time. You do not own the Jimi Hendrix article to do with as you please. Keep it up, or make another false accusation toward me, and I will immediately make reports at WP:AIV and WP:ANI. Your talk page is full of warnings from others as well as me. There's ample evidence for any admin who takes a look at your talk page history or editing history. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 15:10, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I concur with Ward on this one. You have made contributions to the Hendrix article, but now and then you fill it up with lots of unsourced material. This is not the way to build an article. You may know the things you write are correct (I believe that you are a very knowledgable fan of Hendrix), but things must be properly sourced. And your angry outbursts towards people criticizing you is a poor strategy if you want to be taken seriously. --HJensen, talk 19:10, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on The Cry of Love. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Tiptoety talk 17:42, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

I am not in an "edit war" I am reverting vandalism by gersracing, who is removing referenced work and repeatedly replacing it with POV, which he has been warned about several times and who I have reported. If there's a problem with disruption pull him up, not me.Jameselmo (talk) 19:13, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

The three-revert rule does not apply to Italic textself-reverts, reverts within a user's own user space, or reverts of obvious vandalismItalic text, banned users, copyright violations or libelous, biased, unsourced, or poorly sourced controversial material which violates the policy on biographies of living persons. Definition of edit warring Edit warring is a behavior, typically exemplified by the use of confrontational edits to win a content dispute. It is different than a bold, revert, discuss (BRD) cycle. Reverting vandalism and banned users is not edit warring; at the same time, content disputes, even egregious point of view edits and other good-faith changes do not constitute vandalism.Jameselmo (talk) 19:30, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

gersracing is quite welcome to put up his claim - if he can put up a good source and reference, and doesn't remove the properly sourced and referenced material and rfrains from blatant POV. Getting himself a talk page would be a start.Jameselmo (talk) 20:02, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Please in future disengage when you note that a revert war has begun. I seriously considered blocking you as well, but a caution with a little friendly advice about alternative problem solving methods may work just as well. For simple vandalism (which was not the case here), we have Administrator intervention against vandalism. If no other editors are active at the relevant talkpage, consider asking for additional input at a relevant collaborative WikiProject listed there; in this case, WikiProject Albums might be of help. There are also several general purpose noticeboards, including one dedicated to issues of sourcing (Reliable sources/Noticeboard), and another for issues of neutral presentation (Neutral point of view/Noticeboard). Also, for future reference "diffs" are explained at Help:Diff; it is just a link to the URL in the history showing the difference between revisions. - 2/0 (cont.) 05:42, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

March 2010
Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Moon landing. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles nor are such pages a forum. Thank you. —Joshua Scott (LiberalFascist) talk 18:26, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Nine to the Universe
Jameselmo, I just saw what you did to the article in February. Most of your edits were already reverted, and I just reverted the lot of them. I wanted to note that especially this edit and this edit are unacceptable: "blatant POV"? nonsense, it's verified in printed sources. You seem to have a dislike for Miles Davis and Alan Douglas--keep it to yourself, do not insert it into our articles. Finally, your revisions to the text removed a source and introduced unencyclopedic and highly ungrammatical language (note the many run-on sentences). Please be more careful in the future. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 18:02, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Suggestions
I suggest you create a sandbox page if you would like to experiment. Do not blank an article. Someone might be reading. Here is an example for a sandbox page: Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you didn't do before saving your edits to Nine to the Universe. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page.

Main Page appearance: Jimi Hendrix
This is a note to let the main editors of Jimi Hendrix know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on March 4, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask. You can view the TFA blurb at Today's featured article/March 4, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Jimi Hendrix (1942–1970) was an American musician, singer, and songwriter. Despite a relatively brief mainstream career spanning four years, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music, and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. Born in Seattle, Washington, Hendrix began playing guitar at the age of 15. In 1963, he moved to Clarksville, Tennessee, and began playing gigs on the chitlin' circuit, eventually moving to England in late 1966 after being discovered by bassist Chas Chandler of the Animals. Within months, Hendrix had earned three UK top ten hits with the Jimi Hendrix Experience: "Hey Joe", "Purple Haze", and "The Wind Cries Mary". He achieved fame in the US after his performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, and in 1968 his third and final studio album, Electric Ladyland, reached number one in the US. The world's highest-paid performer, he headlined the Woodstock Festival in 1969 and the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 before dying from barbiturate-related asphyxia on September 18, 1970, at the age of 27.
