Edits

First off, please don't try to tell me in such a tone how to manage my talk page. Most users I've encountered remove sections when done with. I likewise remove things from my talk page when they have served their purpose. Don't try to order me around like that again, thank you.

Now, to the subject at hand: No, the genres haven't been sourced properly. The only reference in the "styles and influences" section which makes any real reference to their genre is the Naperville Sun one, and that link doesn't work. If you have real sources giving those genres, I suggest you add in some clear links.

My changes thus constitute removing unsourced information, something not only accepted, but indeed encouraged on wikipedia, and adding in sourced information, something at the very core of the whole site. Your removal of this information simply because you personally don't like it constitutes at best a bad edit with good intentions behind it, and at worst vandalism. Prophaniti (talk) 22:59, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and also, this: "If a user removes a comment from their own talk page, (legitimate or not), it should remain removed." (quoted from "Wikipedia:Don't restore removed comments"). Also see user page, the section on "Removal of comments, warnings", for further evidence. I am perfectly within my rights to remove whatever I wish from my talk page. So again, do not attempt to order me about regarding it, nor undo my comment removals there, be they yours or anyone elses. Prophaniti (talk) 23:20, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Ibaranoff24. I saw your report at WP:3RRN. I'm not an administrator, but I help at that noticeboard. re your comment "Please do not remove messages from your talk page UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES": it's best to avoid using all-capital letters, as it can give an impression of shouting. Users are allowed to remove messages from their talk pages; see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines#User talk pages. I'm also putting a message on Prophaniti's talk page. ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 00:26, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Zappa support

Hi! Thanks for your support at the Frank Zappa FAC! Since you have previously brought Freak Out! to FA, I was wondering if you had plans of expanding other Zappa album articles? In that case, I would be happy to help out/collaborate.--HJensen, talk 10:21, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your reponse. Hope you get your machine to work soon again! Drop me a note whenever you think of something to work on. Kind regards, --HJensen, talk 21:04, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

MedCab

A MedCab case has been opened here, regarding Hed PE. I would appreciate it if you could please visit the case page and indicate if you will be participating. Thank you. [ roux ] [x] 18:14, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Ibranoff. I'd really like it if you would engage in the MedCab case. Obviously I can't force you, but it makes sense to at least attempt to resolve the dispute, don't you think? I'm sure we can all come to an agreement that satisfies everyone. [ roux ] [x] 20:47, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

I would also like to remind you of our policies on being polite and not making personal attacks on other users. [ roux ] [x] 20:54, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Incivility

Just a quick warning to let you know I've added a report regarding your edits to the wikiquette alerts board. Prophaniti (talk) 22:52, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

It would be wise of you to acknowledge the WQA about you located at WP:WQA. Hopefully this will prevent future similar occurances. You will see the other editor continues to have concerns about your actions. A slight ... "apology" might help. -t BMW c- 18:24, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

FYI

I have started a thread regarding you abusing the rollback feature. Landon1980 (talk) 19:16, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Per the consensus at that thread, and my own review your rollback has been revoked. You are more than welcome to reapply in a few months. Tiptoety ^talk 20:23, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

ICP

I see you are the editor who got Insane Clown Posse to FA. Well I was reading through the TNA section and then went down and looked at the sources you used to source that section. I think you should replace the Online World of Wrestling sources since that site is unreliable. It would be best to change them to PWTorch.com sources. Their reviews are more in-depth and reliable.--WillC 22:00, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the info. I just thought to inform you of the sources so if it ever comes up for FA removal, that the TNA section is reliably sourced.--WillC 23:44, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Category sorting

Just to remind you that the DEFAULTSORT magic word is used with a colon, not a pipe: thus {{DEFAULTSORT:Butcher Shop, The}}, not {{DEFAULTSORT|Butcher Shop, The}}. —Paul A (talk) 06:25, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Alright thanks for the tips man. Yeah thanks for deleting that post though, really doesn't deserve any purpose for the article.

Right now I am working on expanding all the Hed PE related articles, because most of their albums and member articles are stubs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Manofthehour1 (talk • contribs) 20:54, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: Ralph Bakshi

Unfortunately, I cannot help you at the moment (my browser is currently having problems displaying some pages, and unfortunately, this article is one of them, not sure what the problem is though...I don't think it has anything to do with the article, just my browser acting weird) but I am sure that there are other editors over at the Guild who would be happy to help. Thank you for thinking of me though, and I am sorry I could not help! Scapler (talk) 02:58, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, just noticed that you nominated the article for FA again. User:SandyGeorgia has removed this as you need to wait a couple of weeks before renominating the article. This is to ensure that the FAC process does not get overwhelming backlogs and that articles improve in the mean time. May I suggest you send the article for a Peer review? I'm sure you'll find some helpful editors to improve the article with you there.

One aspect I can instantly see is that the lead is quite long. The purpose of the lead is to provide a brief, condensed overview of the article while the main article deals with more in-depth issues. With such a long lead you are not enticing readers to read the rest of the article as they pretty much know it all from reading the lead. I'm sure a peer review can help you with a few other pointers. Take care. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 17:15, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song GAN

Hi. You've been pretty active on-wiki in the past few days, but you haven't yet done anything in regards to the Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song GAN, which has been on-hold for two days. I'm just notifying you in case you missed it. – sgeureka ^t•c 21:29, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Kool Keith

Hello, I noticed that you reverted back to the somewhat-controversial changes that you made to the Kool Keith article. I say "somewhat-controversial" because if you look at the talk page there has already been a discussion regarding the aliases that the artist has used in his career, and a compromise reached. When I requested that you bring things to the talk page, not only did you fail to do so but you reverted and didn't even give the slightest explanation for it.

Let me be frank with you here. In the discussions regarding the aliases, I was on the side of having them removed. At one time they were taking up more than half of the article space, and were a copyright violation of the artist's web site no less. So I had them removed with only a short blurb about how he has used aliases and a link to his page that explains them. If you have a good argument against including them at all, please bring it to the talk page and I might even support you if it seems reasonable. It's just not right to unilaterally remove that material when it has already been discussed. And if a consensus seems to be in favor of keeping the material out of the article, then if someone wants to add it later then it would be easier to keep it out and to get administrator support if necessary. Thanks! -- Atama^chat 20:37, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Hed PE

Allmusic is a fine source for genres. Really what you need to do is establish a consensus of genres, by evaluating different sources, if you want to establish why it's incorrect on any particular issue. WesleyDodds (talk) 04:05, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

January 2009

Please do not undo other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in Mudvayne, or you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. The three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the 3RR. Thank you.
