Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Peter Gabriel (1980 album), disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please read WikiProject_Albums/Album_article_style_guide and follow its pattern.

A word on linking
When linking, please be careful not to link items that were linked recently linked. You've been linking the subject of albums, such as Amy Grant or Michael W. Smith, in articles of their albums. They're linked in the infobox, in the opening paragraphs and often in the tracks section. Linking it in the personnel section is a bit too much. Similarly, if you link an instrument early in the personnel section, don't link it again in the section. That's what WP:REPEATLINK states.

Also, don't pipe the same phrase to itself. If you link to Hammond organ, (Hammond B3 and Hammond B3 organ both redirect to that), don't do it like this: Hammond organ. See MOS:PIPE. Linking to a redirect page is acceptable though. See MOS:REDIR for more info on that.

Finally don't simply link to a manufacturer's name, such as Yamaha, when it's a specific instrument. Yamaha DX7 has an article so linking that is OK, but linking like this, Yamaha GS2, is of no help. See WP:SPECIFICLINK. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:42, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

December 2014
Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Worship (Michael W. Smith album), did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:48, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Worship Again. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:48, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Chicago 18 and others
Hi there. You did a lot of editing on Chicago 18, with no sources at all. What exactly are your sources for all that intricate information? Also I noticed that you're being very disruptive to a lot of other people here, so I could have you reviewed for a block if that's the only way to remediate that. What do you think about that? Thanks. — Smuckola (Email) (Talk) 22:06, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

August 2015
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Chicago 18. 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. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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) 23:59, 17 August 2015 (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.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page The Noise We Make has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. ''You have changed sixstep to sixstepsrecords several times claiming you have "fixed grammar". Template:Infobox album clearly advises that editor "drop words like "Records" from the end of the label's name" and so it is correct, according to the template's documentation, to pipe it out. Please stop making this change and attempting to hide it. That's what we call lying.'' Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:57, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Please stop formatting album personnel sections incorrectly
For instance, I see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jekyll_and_Hyde_(Petra_album)&curid=1773386&diff=907000884&oldid=899028588 does not conform to WP:PERSONNEL. The movement to role then name is incorrect. Changing "background" to "backing" is unnecessary. Spell-out US states since not all readers know the abbreviations. The bullet points are not sentences and do not need periods. Compare with Michael W. Smith Project, Vinyl Confessions, or many feature-class album articles. I'll let you clean up the articles you've worked on before I take a hammer to them. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:57, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Following on from the above, the recently edited personnel sections of a couple of Billy Joel albums had some formatting issues which I've reverted, including the addition of capital letters in incorrect places and the removal of the longer dashes. When editing personnel sections, please try and stick to the formatting as seen in most other good album articles. --Geach (talk) 20:53, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Not trying to sound aggressive, but I am being assertive.

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Aspects (talk) 19:33, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

There is nothing at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Album article style guide to mandate that a separate sub-section should exist for production credits, however MOS:BODY suggests that Very short sections and subsections clutter an article with headings and inhibit the flow of the prose. While there are no prose, it's unlikely that readers want to know only the production staff. They likely want to know the personnel. Experienced readers,and those who are interested in production staff, will know to look under the personnel section. I recognize that many of the pop albums you work on have separate subheadings for this type of staff, but please do not proliferate their existence unnecessarily.

Also, do not forget to leave an edit summary for every action you make. Doing so when adding subheadings like this might make the difference between administrative action and not. Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:15, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

I don’t understand, how did I commit vandalism? Joshuadejohnson (talk) 23:18, 1 October 2021 (UTC)


 * You didn't provide an explanation for your edits. The personnel credits in those articles are ordered according to the liner notes, and you just changed the order for no apparent reason.  snap snap  (talk) 23:23, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

I see. I guess that makes sense..my apologies. Joshuadejohnson (talk) 23:24, 1 October 2021 (UTC)


 * No problems. Just make sure you provide a summary for your edits from now on. It is strongly recommended in order to avoid possible conflicts and such.  snap snap  (talk) 23:31, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Stop separating production from personnel per WP:PERSONNEL
Hello. You really need to cease this practice immediately. I don't know why you're changing thousands of articles according to your own preference, but it needs to stop. Your edits directly contradict Wikipedia's own widely followed style advice on how to format personnel, part of MOS:ALBUM, which clearly states all of them (musicians, people who worked on design, and technical or production personnel) should be below the personnel heading. Also, in most cases it appears you are adding spaces to the heading, which can make the heading style on that article inconsistent and that is never desirable. Please also follow WP:OVERLINK, which is briefly covered in WP:PERSONNEL—well-known terms like flute should not be linked, and the type of bass it is (bass guitar, double bass, etc.) should be specified. I hope you realise that in some cases shortening this to just "bass" can be confusing. Regardless, you need to follow MOS:ALBUM promptly and if you do not, an administrator will be informed. This wholescale changing of thousands of articles to an unsupported style cannot go on. Thank you.  Ss  112   06:06, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Again, please stop adding spaces to headings where the rest of the article does not use spaced headings. Articles do not have to have spaced headings.  Ss  112   21:31, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

I don’t understand how I’m doing anything wrong. I’m only trying to be specific with particular credit information. Others have done it, so how am I different? Joshuadejohnson (talk) 21:34, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * How is adding spaces to headings being "specific"? How is removing "guitar" from "bass guitar" being "specific"? How is claiming everything in edit summaries that all you're doing in personnel sections is "adding links" when you're not just doing that "specific"? How is separating musicians from technical personnel into a separate sections when MOS:ALBUM says to group them all under "Personnel" being "specific"? Please don't try to play the victim when you've had enough this many years of warnings from different editors telling you to stop.  Ss  112   10:35, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

True, there are some details that I need to leave alone and I will do my best to do so. The point I was trying to make was that I’ve seen articles with those aforementioned outlines that were already detailed in that manner before. However, if that’s going to be a problem then I’ll stop. I’m not trying to be the "bad guy" or victimize myself, but I will assert myself and I know my intentions better than anyone. I do have respect for everyone and I’ll do my best to cease. Joshuadejohnson (talk) 15:53, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Other articles being formatted a certain way doesn't mean those are correct or should be followed as an example; they should be brought into line with MOS:ALBUM as well.  Ss  112   05:14, 27 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I asked you to stop adding spaces to headings on articles that don't have other spaced headings. Stop doing this. Why can you not resist doing this? Did you lay low for a while thinking I'd forget that you existed? Also, stop putting full stops in the infobox and writing "USA". It's "US" per MOS:NOTUSA.  Ss   112   06:51, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi Serge, I've had an issue with this editor's edits since last month, and they have merely resumed making the same problematic edits after they think they've been forgotten about. They are still separating production from personnel even though MOS:ALBUM says they should be under the same heading: . They are still adding spaces to headings unnecessarily, making the style of an article inconsistent: . Their edit summaries are also misleading: in that summary, and most, they claim they're "adding links" but actually remove a lot of links, or the edit has nothing to do with links. Joshua has shown they have not heeded my advice and I think it's approaching the point of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT and disruption, especially after saying above "there are some details that I need to leave alone and I will do my best to do so".  Ss  112   12:59, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Final warning
I see countless attempts to explain to you that your edits go established guidelines, and are not helpful, and yet you have refused to stop. Is there anything that is unclear to you about this? If you refuse to listen and continue to ignore all these comments and warnings and just keep going at it, I'll be forced to block your account. Here's your last chance to discuss misunderstandings or stop. Sergecross73  msg me  14:20, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Brother. I’ve been praying and thinking considering my response to your comment. To start with, there’s no excuse for my actions. I’ve just been seeing it as something to pass the time and admittedly got carried away, even with some articles that apparently are restricted. I do apologize for that. It’s not that I’m attempting to "cry victim" or talk my way out of this, but I suppose it’s been like an addiction, habit forming, again to pass the time. Also, having a form of autism, I tend to be too detail oriented and I hope there’s some understanding with that. I hope this wasn’t too lengthy, but I knew an explanation was warranted, and I hope you don’t think of this as poppycock or bull (keeping it G rated, lol). Thank you for your time, take care! Joshuadejohnson (talk) 19:34, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Joshua, I have already asked you to stop adding spaces to headings that don't have them on the rest of the article. Keep heading styles on an articles consistent and don't make them inconsistent with your edits.  Ss  112   03:04, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
