New U2 picture
Hi RattleandHum, check out the new U2 picture I added on the U2 page! Let me know what you think at the talk page. Wikipedia brown 05:32, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

U2 influences
The problem with structuring the sentences that way is that it comes off as POV and is slightly incorrect. Some of the artists listed at "main influences" aren't termed such in the references, while New Order is called their biggest influence in the reference provided. I think it's more straightforward and less POV to just list them all as "influences" in a single sentence; it's not like there's many of them anyway. WesleyDodds 21:51, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Your wikiquette
Please cease making repeated reverts (ie, the links on U2) without discussing it. Take it to talk. Otherwise, it could be considered vandalism. --Merbabu 23:43, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Unsourced
Please do not add content without citing reliable sources. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. --Yamla 17:11, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

The Who
Hi! I'm Sirabder87 from it.wiki and I'm working on the italian version of The Who page. We're having a dispute about Who's genres, about including or not proto-punk. It seems in english page's history that you and an unregistred IP have had an edit war about it (11th-20th June). In the end, proto punk has been definitely replaced by pop. Should you tell me why? Please answer me here. Thank you so much. 83.184.52.170 10:02, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Formatting of genres in album articles
Hi there. Regarding changes like this, please note that genres should be delimited by commas, and that genres are not proper nouns. See WP:ALBUM. Have a nice day. --PEJL 10:42, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Chris Rock
Hi. Why did you remove the citation tags from the article? Nightscream 06:33, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Hi there. Please don't forget to provide edit summaries when you make changes to articles. Thanks, and happy editing. --SilentAria talk 16:44, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Keane
Please stop classifying bands like Coldplay and Keane as a Britpop. Although they were certainly influenced by the Britpop genre, they are most definitely not Britpop. -- Scjessey (talk) 14:28, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

The Killers
One question? How can The Killers be classified as Indie Rock and Synth Rock? Do you have sources for this information? Please don't edit a page before you are completely sure of the information you are editing, thanks. Oh and you can check several sites that mention that The Killers are post-punk:

Panic! at the Disco
Please stop changing the genres for Panic! at the Disco. The genres already listed in the infobox have been agreed on in a talk page discussion. If you wish to change the genres, please start a new discussion on the talk page explaining why you think they should be changed. Also, please remember to provide edit summaries. Thank you. ╦ﺇ₥₥€Ԋ (talk / contribs ) 21:19, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Van Morrison article
I'm confused by your removal of the R&B genre from his infobox. As an example, I have always seen reviews listing his biggest hit, "Domino" as an example of his tribute to this genre that he grew up listening to. Please explain, I know you must have had a good reason. Thanks, Agadant (talk) 20:45, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

U2 FAC
Hi RattleandHum, I just wanted to let you know that I nominated the U2 article for FA status, which I believe you have contributed to in the past. It would be great if you could support (or oppose) it's candidacy at Featured_article_candidates/U2. Happy trails! Wikipedia brown (talk) 06:31, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Your edits to Daughtry
You not only ignored but removed the message saying "Provide sources before adding Genres". Why?Hoponpop69 (talk) 07:20, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion...
Hello there

I notice the minor edit warring over at U2 re the "post punk" genre. My suggestion would be to open this for discussion on the talk page and get consensus for the inclusion of the genre. Providing good references will help your case.

I don’t actually have an opinion either way on the post punk genre, but using talk page and establishing a consensus will help you in maintaining the inclusion in the longer term (if indeed inclusion is what people agree with). If you establish a good case, and then consensus, I and most likely others will support you to keep the genre in. However, my suggestion would be to leave it out for now if it gets reverted again until you get consensus. Ie, the slow revert. Let it go for the short term, then establish you case for longer term inclusion.

Kind regards --Merbabu (talk) 02:44, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Your altering of the billing of Léon (film)
The repeated recent edits you have made to Léon (film) constitute vandalism, and have been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages. Thanks.

Ryan Adams
I've reverted your removal of Now That You're Gone from the Singles/promos section of Ryan Adams. Why did you remove it? Adam McMaster (talk) 12:01, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Warning
Hi, please could you stop removing/changing genres on music articles without gaining a consensus, adding a citation, and using an edit summary. If you continue to change genres without meeting the aforementioned criteria you may be blocked for genre trolling. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. Scarian Call me Pat!  15:49, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Final warning
Consider this a final warning. For months you've been acting like a rogue editor, making arbitrary edits with no discussion, no edit summaries, and no responses to attempts at communication. If you don't start behaving more cooperatively, I am going to open a thread at WP:ANI asking for your account to be blocked. Looie496 (talk) 17:04, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

GA reassessment of Kevin Spacey
I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. I have found some concerns with the article which you can see at Talk:Kevin Spacey/GA1. I have placed the article on hold whilst these are fixed. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:12, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
