February 2010

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Cradle of Filth. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. magnius (talk) 00:09, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Cradle of Filth, you will be blocked from editing. magnius (talk) 14:51, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

March 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Heaven Shall Burn, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 12:58, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is the final warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as those you made to The Black Dahlia Murder (band). If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. GunMetal Angel 17:47, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Considering the above warning, I'd be well within bounds to block you for continuing to change genres on bands without sourcing your changes, but I'm feeling benevolent right now and will give you one last warning. Do not continue changing genres unless you have a good reference that counters the listed genre and backs up the one you're changing to. Do not simply move a reference (such as you did here and here to make it look like they're sourced. If you have a problem with a genre and feel it needs to be changed, then discuss it on the talk page of the article in question. Further genre warring will result in a block, quite possibly a long one. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:35, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

April 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit that you made to the page Dear Whoever has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Please use the sandbox for testing any edits; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing for further information. Thank you. Ham tech person 14:46, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with this edit to Dear Whoever. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. Ham tech person 15:01, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:Blessthefall.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Blessthefall.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Closedmouth (talk) 16:05, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Dear Whoever

A tag has been placed on Dear Whoever requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Heaven Shall Burn, you will be blocked from editing. GunMetal Angel 07:59, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Dear+Whoever.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Dear+Whoever.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 05:05, 14 April 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 05:05, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Final warning

If you change any further genres on music articles without discussion or proper sources, I will block you for an extended period of time. Last warning. Other editors watching this editor's actions, please advise me if you spot any issues. Tony Fox (arf!) 16:04, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to The Red Chord. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. F-22 Raptör^{Aces High♠} 23:43, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

You've been blocked for 72 hours for disruptive editing. Normally this would be a 24-hour block, but as you edit sporadically I've chosen three days because it's more likely to get your attention. If you feel the block is not appropriate, you may appeal.

Okay, let me try to explain this concisely. Genres are one of the most contentious issues on music articles in Wikipedia, and thus changes need to be discussed and sources provided to back up said changes. You are showing signs of what we call a genre warrior - you dive into an article, as you did with these edits and change the genres to what you think they should be, with no opportunity for others to discuss them. This results in reverts, edit-warring, and general disruption. That's why I asked you to start discussing your edits. I see that you did, in fact, do so - this is a good start, but you then went and made the change within two minutes, precisely the time at which you were replied to (and boy, that was a fast response). You need to discuss before making the change and build consensus, not just drop something on the talk page and immediately do it. If there's no discussion, then you're good - just bring some references to the table when you do.

If you continue to change genres without discussion, ignoring references, and such, after the block expires, expect to be blocked for longer periods in future. Tony Fox (arf!) 22:26, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You will be blocked once more if you continue your genre changes — GunMetal Angel 20:06, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're still not discussing your changes before making them. In future, discuss any and all genre changes - start a discussion on the article talk page with references to indicate the need for the change, and wait a reasonable amount of time for people to weigh in before making the change to the article. If you do not follow this route, I will be looking at either blocking you indefinitely or placing you under an editing restriction forcing you to edit other topics and not music genres. Do you understand this warning? Tony Fox (arf!) 04:04, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

May 2010

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for Continued disruption through removal of sourced genres, failure to discuss changes prior to making them, and a general lack of understanding of the process by which Wikipedia works.. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.
