September 2020
Hello, I'm Walter Görlitz. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Stand (Michael W. Smith album), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''I'm sorry. I could not find any of the tracks you suggest were on a live recording. I have commented them out. Please do not add them back. Instead, please explain where these songs were released on the article's talk page.'' Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:06, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Stand (Michael W. Smith album), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:12, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

When adding links to material on external sites, as you did to Stand (Michael W. Smith album), please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube or Sci-Hub, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:
 * If the linked site is the copyright holder, leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page;
 * If a note on the linked site credibly claims permission to host the material, or a note on the copyright holder's site grants such permission, leave a note on the article Talk page with a link to where we can find that note;
 * If you are the copyright holder or the external site administrator, adjust the linked site to indicate permission as above and leave a note on the article Talk page;

If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. When you link to a video of a performance that was not supplied by the copyright holder, that is considered a copyright violation. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:17, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello POWERFUL 245, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to My World 2.0 have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted.  All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. (CC) Tb hotch ™ 00:04, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 30
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

 * Chicago discography
 * added links pointing to Once in a Lifetime, Jenny, Beginnings, I Believe, Only You, Till the End of Time, My Favorite Things, Feel, The Only One, Closer to You, All Over the World, Together Again, Thunder and Lightning, Back to You, Free Country, Till We Meet Again, Hideaway, One More Day, Take a Chance and Little One

Hello, I'm Liz. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Maggie Simpson have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 01:58, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Maggie Simpson. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. KylieTastic (talk) 18:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Maggie Simpson, you may be blocked from editing. KylieTastic (talk) 19:02, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Wishing You Were Here. KylieTastic (talk) 19:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

You keep removing tracks from the deluxe edition, disc 2 of Breakfast in America but you are not explaining why. That in itself is a problem, however, the removal leaves gaps in the track listing and so that makes it suspicious. Please explain why the tracks should be removed in a new discussion on the article's talk page. Recognize that the tracks are listed on https://www.discogs.com/Supertramp-Breakfast-In-America/release/2630941 so you need a good reason to remove the songs from this album. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:06, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Riot of Color moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Riot of Color, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. KylieTastic (talk) 20:06, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 7
An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Al Corley, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Face to Face.

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 06:18, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 14
An automated process has detected that you recently added links to disambiguation pages.

Proposed deletion of Venus Album


The article Venus Album has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Various artists compilation album with no indication that it meets the notability requirements of WP:NALBUMS"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello, I'm Tbhotch. An edit that you recently made to Hawái (song) seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox.

Hello, I'm Tbhotch. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Invincible (Michael Jackson album), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. (CC) Tb hotch ™ 14:32, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Thriller (album) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Thriller (album); that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and 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) 00:55, 3 November 2020 (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.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Dangerous (Michael Jackson album), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. (CC) Tb hotch ™ 16:22, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied text from Dangerous World Tour to Dangerous (Michael Jackson album) (your addition has since been removed). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. If you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:17, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
