Hey Moon moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Hey Moon, is not suitable 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.

Disambiguation link notification for July 30
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Stephin Merritt, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Saratoga. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Unspecified source/license for File:ThomasScottQuintetMarionette.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:ThomasScottQuintetMarionette.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like (to release all rights),  (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * File copyright tags

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (Talk • Contribs • Owner) 11:45, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

August 2021
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Marionette (album) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Marionette (EP). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Orphaned non-free image File:ThomasScottQuintetMarionette.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:ThomasScottQuintetMarionette.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:09, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Albums recorded at Parr Street Studios


A tag has been placed on Category:Albums recorded at Parr Street Studios requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello TrippyDippy! Your additions to Re-Animator (album) 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. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * 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 either 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 described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

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. — Diannaa (talk) 14:11, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Hey Moon
Hello, TrippyDippy. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Hey Moon, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again&#32;or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 17:01, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Hey Moon


Hello, TrippyDippy. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Hey Moon".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 16:48, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Music for Pleasure Music for Pain
Please read WP:NALBUM: "That an album is an officially released recording by a notable musician or ensemble is not by itself reason for a standalone article." The fact that the album exists does not make it notable. If you cannot find reliable independent sources about it, this article is liable to be nominated for deletion sooner rather than later. Thank you. Richard3120 (talk) 15:57, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Nomination of Music for Pleasure Music for Pain for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Music for Pleasure Music for Pain is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Music for Pleasure Music for Pain until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Richard3120 (talk) 20:02, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

no wp:self published source
Per the discussion at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Albums/Archive_46#Piero_Scaruffi_-_Final_Verdict_on_using_him_as_a_source_in_reviews there's a very clear consensus here that Scaruffi is not to be used as a source in music/album articles in any capacity. So please, do not add his opinions anymore. It is a wp:self published source. Since this is a long running dispute, any contributor warned by the situation and who doesn't respect it, would encounter sanctions and could be blocked from editing. Thanks. You've been informed because this source had been included here. Woovee (talk) 03:40, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Edits to Moondust for My Diamond
Hi. Several months ago, you edited a paragraph of information to Moondust for My Diamond without a source. Please in future make sure you include a source for material that you add to Wikipedia. Thanks.  Ss  112   11:11, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Mummer edits
Hi. I noticed you recently performed a multitude of edits on the page for XTC's Mummer album, including adding a substantial amount of information to the lead and various credits in the personnel section. Please do not add information to Wikipedia without sourcing it, and do not include detailed information in the lead that isn't already discussed in the body of the article (see here). Unsourced conjecture, such as how an album "was generally well received", is particularly unnecessary. Thanks. —The Keymaster (talk) 03:22, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Once again
Please do not add unsourced content to articles. You've re-added information removed from the lead of Mummer because it was not sourced and not mentioned in the article. The Wikipedia manual of style states: "Apart from basic facts, significant information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article. As a general rule of thumb, the lead section should contain no more than four well-composed paragraphs and be carefully sourced as appropriate." The reissue information you've added in the body of the article should also not be added without references. —The Keymaster (talk) 19:51, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Third time
Please stop adding unsourced content and original research to Mummer. This is your third warning. —The Keymaster (talk) 10:44, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

License tagging for File:XTCMummer.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:XTCMummer.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:30, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:XTCMummer.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:XTCMummer.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits.

I don't understand what I've been doing wrong, I've tried to follow the guidelines the best that I could, and if someone can explain to me the mistakes that I've been making, I will honestly try my very hardest to correct them in future. - TrippyDippy 19:33, 3 April 2023 (BST)
 * There's a number of different issues--first there's your persistent pattern of adding content to articles without providing proper sources (while some of the warnings on this talk page are old, you seem to have continued this sort of edit, making changes like this one right up until you were blocked. Second, and this is the issue that is most apparent in your first unblock request, you need to abide by the community's consensus, and that means, in the case of Music for Pleasure Music for Pain, you need to accept that the outcome of Articles for deletion/Music for Pleasure Music for Pain was to convert the article to a redirect, and stop contesting the issue further (unless you can provide new sources that sufficiently demonstrate that it meets WP:GNG or WP:NALBUM). signed,Rosguill talk 18:55, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

But how else could I improve the article with only a limited amount of sources available to me? All the other releases by the band each have articles, and leaving that one out as a redirect feels extremely inconsistent and out of place, regardless of what the consensus has to say about it. - TrippyDippy 20:25, 3 April 2023 (BST)
 * If there aren't sufficient sources, and particularly if the consensus is in favour of leaving that one out as a redirect, we expect you not to improve the article and instead, leave that one out as a redirect. This is absolutely critical. If you don't understand this, if you don't accept this, Wikipedia isn't the place for you. This is how Wikipedia works. See WP:CONSENSUS, among the many other policies and guidelines you've been linked to. --Yamla (talk) 19:35, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

I thought Wikipedia was supposed to be a free encyclopedia, that allowed information to be shared from all over. Oh well, guess times have changed. - TrippyDippy 20:45, 3 April (BST)
 * WP:CONSENSUS and WP:GNG have been codified as guidelines/policy in one form or another since 2006.

Well, it's been almost 24 hours and I'm still awaiting a reply. - TrippyDippy 20:06, 4 April (BST)
 * Don't be rude. We are all volunteers here. We've already pointed you to numerous policies and guidelines. If you haven't read and thoroughly understood those, you are just wasting our time. If you have a specific question, ask it. --Yamla (talk) 19:21, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
