An extended welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.

Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 17:08, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Yungblud 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 don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

 * Please stop to read and understand why experienced editors are advising you on your use of personal observations, and why it's not apparent that this particular person out of the bazillion people who have tattoos needs to have such detailed information about them in an encyclopedia article.

Conversation moved from help desk
Moved: Hi, Sam-2727. Thank you for reading the article through thoroughly and helping me out. I have removed all of my twitter and youtube sources but I'd just like to ask why a twitter source, when coming straight from the artist, is an unreliable source? I have also removed the Personnel section and adapted the surprise part and artists store. I had formatted the page from other EP and album pages on here so I thought the Personnel section and referencing to the artist store was a thing that you were supposed to do. I'm slowly learning a lot about Wikipedia rules, do's and don'ts and I have actually learned a lot from your reponse so thank you. Sawhitney36 (talk) 14:25, 28 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Sawhitney36, the twitter source is unreliable mainly because on twitter, anybody can write anything without any kind of fact checking. There isn't any assurance that it is true. Also, it fails the independence criteria for notable sources. Although other album pages might reference the artist's store, they probably shouldn't, because this could be seen as promotional. I think your sources are much better now. I would just ensure that you have reliable/independent sources that mention the album explicitly, not just individual songs. After that, I would encourage you to resubmit. Sam-2727 (talk) 02:53, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
