PRINCE IS DEAD! http://kdvr.com/2016/04/21/report-singer-prince-dead-at-57/

Hello, Hoff Entertainment, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Fontanelle (album) have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

How can we verify the information? everything that I added is 100% accurate, i should know, i was there. I also have a photo that I took of my friends Sam & Kat at Kat's place in Mpls while she was writing the album. I want to post the photo in the body of the page, as it is an actual photo taken while the recorded was being written -can it get more authentic than that? -Sam called me after I started writing and said that he is mentioned by name somewhere on one of the albums -did not give me detail, said he'd try to remember where this info can be found.

Of course, this is not the first time that wikipedia has rejected facts and corrections that are important and accurate. There is a problem here. because so much of the history of punk rock was poorly recorded (if it was even recorded at all) -by the nature of it, no one really gave 2 shits back then, we were too busy having fun. because of this there are giant gaps in the history. wikipedia should be flexible and utilize sources that are available, instead of discriminating against them because they do not meet the ridged set of rules, that distroys the possibility of an accurate depiction of historical events. Think about it, why even have a page about this album if the true story will never see the light of day. It might as well be ALL fiction. This song has nothing to do with Courtney love. She was no fun to be around. a bore who was motivated by shallow self-promotion. Wikipedia should do a better job creating an accurate historical environment when tackling a difficult subject such as this. in this case, we must rely on the only sources we have.

Wikipedia articles summarise what reliable and verifiable sources have to say on a subject. You say they are facts, but why should anyone believe you? Do you see the problem? Also read WP:NOT. Thanks Flat Out let's discuss it 00:05, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please refer to WP:RS to learn what is and is not considered a reliable source. Personal knowledge that has not been published by a reliable source is considered original research and therefore not verifiable. If you dispute the policy, then you can raise your concerns at Wikipedia talk:Identifying reliable sources. --Drm310 (talk) 04:57, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"everything that I added is 100% accurate, i should know, i was there." I don't doubt you. Nevertheless, we have a policy on verifiability that states: "Wikipedia does not publish original research. Its content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it."

Now, this does not mean the information you wish to add can never be verified. It seems like someone should write an oral history of those times to which you refer, as a way of getting all that down on a paper, in the vein of Please Kill Me. Failing that, a magazine article or interview would make an excellent source. Daniel Case (talk) 15:43, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to add my photo to the page. it will be a matter of time before I am able to verify this additional info. I will do investigative work. -for the most part, I don't think the events during that period of time merit a book like Please Kill Me. (i've met quite a few of the people in Please Kill Me, legs mcneil hags out in a Mpls bar from time to time, just like Richard LloyD of the band tELEVISION. -although there were some unique and CRAZY characters,Mpls post-punk scene was never as vibrant as NYC mid 70's to early 80's.) maybe "someone will give it a shot in the future." there is a book in the works, but I am not at liberty to reference it, as it is still unpublished. i bet it will be a bore.Hoff Entertainment (talk) 04:48, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How do I add the photo?

File:A Fragment of Proof from Michelle Leon on April 6th, 2014.jpg

A fragment of proof that the Babes in Toyland song "Handsome and Gretel" is about Sam and Gretchen. This was captured from a public Facebook post by Michelle Leon, (Babes original bass player) as a direct answer to my request for some type of proof.

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Prince (musician). Thank you. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 17:10, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think a "thank you Mr. Hoff" is in order from the wikipedia staff here. I corrected an inaccurate page, and this is how I am treated? I am sorry if I bruised an ego or two by updating the page before you got to it, but, I knew the man, and felt that it was my responsibility to correct your mistakes. Yes, I may have forgotten a few details, but this website is so full of inaccurate info, that it may be best to erase all of it, and start over. My edits stand as accurate, so drop the ego business, and go with the flow baby. "This IS what it sounds like, when the doves cry"

You added a claim stating that a person was dead without providing a reliable source. You were properly reverted. Just source your claims next time. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 17:55, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You are forgiven Mendelive. Please be more considerate in the future. This is a project for all, not a website that is controlled by a few angry people. . Remember, knowledge is constantly evolving, and like a puff of smoke, we will all dissipate someday. Try a bit of kindness, because this rude-nerd act is not fly. §

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Grigori Rasputin with this edit, you may be blocked from editing. I dream of horses If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message (talk to me) (My edits) @ 05:38, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalize? That is a matter of opinion. what did I do? EVERYTHING that I add here is well researched, and is solid facts. What vandalism do you speak of? {{U|I dream of horses}}

Hello, I'm Walter Görlitz. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Sobriquet, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. keep slanderous politics off that page. If an article exists by that name, feel free to add it. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:30, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The term CROOKED HILLARY is a good example of a sobriquet -even liberal media sources suggested that the nickname may stick -search the web, and you will see. To suggest that this name was slander, is inaccurate (it may be closer to libel, if it was an inaccurate description of the person). CROOKED HILLARY is a name based on opinion, and is a generalization -non-specific. I cannot help it if Wikipedia has a bias to the left, but at this point I hope that I am not attacked as a punishment for my edit. It is not that important to me, so I will be compliant with your wishes. Walter Görlitz as the editor who decided that my addition was wrong, does the name CROOKED HILLARY fall under the definition of a sobriquet? If accurate according to the definition, it seems as if it is a vivid and timely illustration of the definition that will help people understand the term. A lot of information may be deemed offensive, but in the spirit of education, removing an illustrative term seems counterproductive, and possibly influenced by politically correct behavior. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Defeat_Crooked_Hillary_PAC&redirect=no

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Hoff Entertainment", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because the form of the name suggests that this account represents an organization. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. -- The Anome (talk) 08:08, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Anome My username has nothing to do with an organization, and is simply a creative name that I came up with for my account. Why are you suddenly concerned with my username? It has been in place for years. -I hope that the seemingly negative attention that I am getting has nothing to do with my edit. It seems somewhat peculiar that I am being asked to change my name the day after I added the CROOKED HILLARY reference. I hope that this is not a roundabout punishment. If need be, I will change my username, but like I said, I want to keep it as is.
