User talk:King Of The Mountain Cometh

January 2016
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at List of deaths in rock and roll. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges.

Editing process on Wikipedia. Specifically rock and roll list of deaths.
Someone speaks of an editing war. War is a strong word & no one wins a war. I added content to this page to add information on certain artists that some people may be interested in, that they may not have known, that may expand their knowledge on a favorite artist or artists, etc. I was not aware that the death police existed & wanted certain information expunged from the general public. I act to share information with everyone, censorship I will always fear. Thank You for your time. King Of The Mountain Cometh (talk) 02:43, 14 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Umm.. well, thank you for your edits. I came across your comment here by chance, more or less... the place to discuss edits to that article is on the article talk page, not on your own talk page.  There has been active discussion about the article in recent weeks, and it might have helped if you had contributed there.  However, we have now moved on...  I've changed the introduction to the article to try to make clearer who should be covered in it, and so far there has been no dissent over that.   But, you should be aware that there are many editors interested in writing articles here, and it's not helpful if editors make numerous edits to articles without explaining what they are doing, and why.   You should, at the very least, remember to fill out the edit summary box more fully when you make changes to an article - "added content" is not very helpful.   I strongly advise you to read as much as possible of the welcome notes that I will now add to the top of this page.  There is no "death police" here, but there are editors who do not necessarily understand unexplained edits, and who may simply remove them - obviously they have just as much right to do so as you have to add material.  An "edit war" describes conflict between editors - but it can often be resolved by discussion.  I don't know whether you've made edits as an IP when logged out or not, but, in my view, most of the recent edits to the List of deaths in rock and roll article have been helpful and I haven't criticised them.  But, please, remember that editors are part of a community here, and explanation and discussion is always helpful and productive.  Thanks.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:42, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
