More problems
I've reviewed your edits. I've found that you have included links to charly1300.com, which is at WP:Record_charts. You've also tried to include statements about "universal critical acclaim" without any sourcing. As the biggest problem, I found this edit, where you changed the reason for his inclusion on the list. It may well be that you believe Kanye West to be a mind-blowing performer, but that is not the reason he was listed as one of "The Most Annoying People of 2010". Don't change the site to represent your personal opinions.&mdash;Kww(talk) 17:25, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from E.T. (song). When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. ''Per WP:LEAD, the introduction of an article does not need references, as it should summarize facts in the article; the references would then be found in prose. The information you removed, claiming "no citation", is—in fact—sourced.'' Yves (talk) 04:44, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

 * I redid your edit, but forgot that chart. The ref.s you provided need to be cited correctly, not just a bare link; please review WP:Citing sources. Dan56 (talk) 20:15, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Goodbye Lullaby Charts
Hi, I agree with you about the Phillipines chart for the Goodbye Lullaby album, but for Taiwan, that is a reliable source, please do not delete this chart again. Thanks, --StephenN17 (talk) 16:10, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

MBDF article
Wikipedia prefers content that can be made out in prose to be made out that way over list formats ( WP:MOS). The other article you cited, The Suburbs, is a stylistic preference and consistency should be within a single article, not external consistency. As prose in MBDF, the year-end list information is clear and cohesive, and does not need to be formatted in another style. However, if with the passage of time, more notable accolades/recognitions are made available, such as all-time lists or decade-best lists, a list may be more appropriate, as warranted for the article It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back.

Also, I would like to mention your recent edit to the article. The image you provided does not seem like a reliable source, especially for sales info. Since the image shows no source of publisher, or the album's total sales, which you used to cite, I'm not sure of its reliability or weight as a citation, but Citing sources does say that an image's source must be noted. You should ask at WP:Albums talk page whether this can used first. Dan56 (talk) 17:58, 9 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Because it is clearer in prose and the circumstances don't warrant a list. WP:MOS states that "Prose is preferred in articles as prose allows the presentation of detail and clarification of context, in a way that a simple list may not. Prose flows, like one person speaking to another, and is best suited to articles, because their purpose is to explain". A notable disadvantage of a list in the case of MBDF article would be excluding the criticism/comments included with given accolades, which give context to the recognition of the album by those who recognized it. As for citing The Suburbs, Wikipedia promotes consistency only within an article, so different articles do not have to be consistent in style with each other. That article may also be better served this way. Dan56 (talk) 20:19, 9 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I've explained it before, and with my edit summaries for that edits made to that article. Likewise, I find it annoying that you keep adding content with a blog cited as the source. Blogs are self-published sources, which are not acceptable in most cases. Definitely not with a page of images of charts that indicate no source/publisher. If you still feel this source is reliable, then you can consult the RS noticeboard for another opinion. Dan56 (talk) 03:39, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Removal of content and source links with no explanation

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article List of tallest residential buildings in the world, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

 * That looks about right, thank you, although the source you have cited for the height shows it as 310m and you have entered a different height in the article. Longwayround (talk) 13:15, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at The College Dropout. 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. Dan56 (talk) 00:11, 30 August 2012 (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.

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.
