Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to David Bowie, without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you. Mlpearc ( open channel ) 19:14, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at David Bowie. Your edits have been or will be reverted or removed. Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. No-consensus Mlpearc  ( open channel ) 19:20, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, 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, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you change genre in pages without discussion or sources, as you did at David Bowie. ''Genre warring '' Mlpearc  ( open channel ) 19:23, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for persistent disruptive editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

 * Could you explain what you find disruptive about the edits made at "Heroes" (David Bowie song)? It seems to add relevant information via reliable sources.  only (talk) 00:22, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I saw that this user was reported at AIV. I looked at this page that the editor edited and his edit was reverted because it removed content, and his accolades table he added was reverted because of WP:NOR. But I don't see any Original Research in this user's edits to Heroes. I can understand though why blocked this user. Maybe because of all the warnings he has received. '''Class455fan1 (talk) 10:00, 16 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I've had a look at the edits and I'm inclined to unblock. I see SomewhereInLondon has tried to engage with other editors and been more or less brushed off, so I think a block isn't particularly fair. can you give me very specific diffs that you felt a block would be the best solution to avoid damage and disruption to the encyclopedia?, , please read this and then this. I have warned Mlpearc that violating WP:3RR applies to him too. Ritchie333 (talk)  (cont)  17:35, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Huh - that ping didn't work last night. Sorry about that, because I would have come to look at this if I had been notified. In retrospect, I agree I might have been a little quick to block, so I've unblocked. That said, he was asked to gain consensus per WP:BRD and instead reinserted his changes, though he did so in a series of edits instead of a single revert. I don't think a request to discuss on the article talk page is a brush-off. The manner in which he was asked might be, but the gist remains. SomewhereInLondon, please gain consensus for such wholesale changes before making them. That similar accolades tables exist in other articles doesn't mean the editors who monitor this topic are okay with it in this one. Katietalk 19:05, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, Katie. I should mention that SomewhereInLondon did start a talk page thread on David Bowie, so for that article they did do what they were asked. I'll follow up on that thread now. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  19:08, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Exactly, thank you. Consensus was all I was asking for.  Mlpearc  ( open channel ) 19:12, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Please stop assuming ownership of articles as you did at "Heroes" (David Bowie song). Behavior such as this is regarded as disruptive and could lead to edit wars and personal attacks, and is a violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Disambiguation link notification for March 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2010s in music, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Blackstar. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please don't spam David Bowie's name all over the place. And please don't stick it in front of a footnote that doesn't mention him. That's considered misrepresenting a source, and it's not tolerated on Wikipedia. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 16:56, 9 April 2016 (UTC) I'm only adding his name where its warranted.

I was surprised to see the pejorative description "hard-left" in the opening sentence, and see that it was inserted by you, earlier today. Worse, you have linked the description "hard-left" not to the Wikipedia entry for that pejorative term, but instead to the Wikipedia entry for more neutral term "far-left". No citation is given for this tendentious description.

Your whitewashing of Daily Telegraph article lead section
In Wikipedia the lead summarises the article. Systematic removal of all criticism from the lead isn't going to happen, in any article, but particularly in one about a newspaper.GliderMaven (talk) 16:46, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Edit warring at Daily Telegraph
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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 do not add or change content, as you did at Black Beatles, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:25, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Work (Rihanna song). This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:09, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Regarding your creation of Talk:Passionfruit (Drake song), I don't know if you copied the templates from another talk page, but this article has only three short sentences and an infobox. That is not sufficient to categorise the album as start class. It is a stub.  Ss 112  18:28, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Wizkid (musician)
You claim that the information is "unnecessary", yet you tweaked it to include the names of some of the artists previously mentioned. Why didn't you just remove the whole thing altogether? I do not want to engage in an edit war with you. You'll have to reach consensus via the article's talk page. If you do not want to use this route to reach consensus, I will take this to WP:DRN.

Hi, I reverted your removal of the word "false". I don't mean to discourage you from trying to get rid of that word, but the best way is to first give your reasons at the article talk page, and try to persuade the other editors there. Thanks.&#32;Anythingyouwant (talk) 00:19, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Kautilya3. I noticed that you recently removed content from Tedros Adhanom without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.
