Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Talk:George Zimmerman, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

Thank you.  Dwpaul  Talk   18:27, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Jackson Browne
A) Do not make threats, it is a violation of WP policy

B) I reverted you once, not many times, which is perfectly acceptable, indeed encouraged, on WP (see WP:BRD)

C) Please by all means bring me to dispute resolution, it'll be solved in a matter of minutes as 1) there is no dispute, and 2) you are the one who has caused an issue where there wasn't one.

D) While I (following WP policy) will not revert again, I will be bringing it up for discussion on the Jackson Browne talk page. You being "an organizer" of said event is both WP:OR and irrelevant.

E) Sign your posts.

A Promise is Not a Threat
Nice to see that you are lying about the content and tone of my comment on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Vyselink

There was no "threat" - merely a promise that, if you continue to abuse your editorial privileges, I will pursue appropriate sanctions under WP policy.

That you admit to a policy of reverting factually-correct edits merely proves that you are unfit to be a WP editor. Riversong (talk) 22:53, 23 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Once again, by all means bring me to a dispute resolution. However, the tone of your comments, and the fact that I had reverted it ONCE is not in question, merely fact. However, I have edited the section again to reflect your issues, i.e. making sure that Browne is not falsely implied as having been a part of the demonstration, but rather a performer the following year. Also, your rewording multiplied, by literally a factor of 10, how many people sources say were at the demonstration. It was 2000, not 20000. I have kept the far more reliable source, i.e. the Time article, over your non RS nuke free site. Hopefully this solves the problem, and stems the beginning of a manufactured issue by you between us.

And, once again, I have reverted your abusive edits and will continue to confront and expose your historical revisionism. As my cited reference (and every reference on the 1978 rally at Seabrook) makes plain, my numbers are accurate and your ignorance of the event is obvious and profound.

Additionally, my cited reference was to Harvey Wasserman, a well-respected historian, activist, my predecessor as Clamshell Alliance media coordinator and a published author on this topic. Your reference for an event that preceded Jackson Browne's participation at Seabrook, regardless of source, is irrelevant to that page.

And, it's important to add that you also misrepresent WP edit/revert policy: "Consider reverting only when necessary. BRD does not encourage reverting" Riversong (talk) 23:15, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Very well. I have asked for more opinions on the Jackson Browne talk page and also the Wikipedia Pop Music Project page (here). Vyselink (talk) 23:20, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
