April 2010 edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Wear My Kiss. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Lil-unique1 (talk) 22:03, 15 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to User talk:Tbhotch, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Telephone edit

I asked you once before earlier today to clarify why and what basis you think Lady Gaga should be credited by her stage name as a writer of the song? Where does it say on wikipedia policy or wikipedia rule pages that "the singer of the song who is the main songwriter, must be recognized by their stage name."? Previously you removed my comment. If you fail to respond (note that you have made several unjustified reverts) again i will have no choice but to take out a WP:ANI Lil-unique1 (talk) 22:20, 15 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Re: Temporary block request edit

Last I was aware, calling a famous person by their real name was #1: Not a cause for blocking, #2: Meant to be done before listing a person's stage name according to WP:NAMES, a sub-article of WP:Manual of style. An example given in the article is: "Louis Bert Lindley Jr. (June 29, 1919 – December 8, 1983), better known by the stage name Slim Pickens..." - Vianello (Talk) 00:13, 16 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Songwriting Credits edit

Songwriting credits should be given to the same people as credited on ASCAP or BMI. In the case of Lady Gaga, her songs are registered with BMI. BMI allows you to search for her both ways: compare

to

But, if you go look it up by song, the result is this, which indicates that the primary listing is under her real name, Stefani Germanotta.

When people write [[Lady Gaga|Stefani Germanotta]] or [[Stefani Germanotta]], that serves the purpose: it shows who the song is actually credited to, and, when clicked, takes you to an article about Lady Gaga.—Kww(talk) 15:31, 16 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on LoveGame. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. —Kww(talk) 16:21, 16 April 2010 (UTC)Reply


  CharlieJS13, this is your final warning. Please stop edit warring on the Lady Gaga song articles and, instead, help reach a proper consensus by participating in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Lady Gaga#Songwriter credit: Stage name vs. birth name. If you revert on any of these articles again, I will have no choice but to block your account from editing. Please be reasonable. — Satori Son 16:35, 16 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for participating in that discussion. Remember, whatever the outcome, you must respect community consensus on the issue. Also, don't forget to sign your posts. — Satori Son 16:48, 16 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
I have withdrawn the WP:AN3 report temporarily, as you have begun to communicate. Your statement that you "don't want an edit war" rings a little hollow: you've pursued an edit war against three editors for two days. If you didn't want to edit war, why did you keep doing it?—Kww(talk) 17:11, 16 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
That doesn't make your behaviour acceptable. Even if you gain consensus for your point of view (unlikely, as Eric has chosen a guideline to quote that doesn't apply to this situation, and precedent is against you), the way you pursued it is wrong. After being reverted by two different editors, both of which have significantly more experience in editing music articles than you, you should have taken it to talk pages, and stopped reverting. Reverting without an edit summary, as you did here, is equivalent to calling the editor you are reverting a vandal, which is clearly not the case. Vandalising the user pages of editors that disagree with you is clearly unacceptable.—Kww(talk) 17:19, 16 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Warnings edit

You had quite adequate warning that your behaviour was completely unacceptable, and the block should not have taken you by surprise. I hope that you will not repeat it now that you are back.

Request reason:

I was very well aware of the last time I was blocked it was for removing sourced information. But Lil-unique1 placed a comment on the talk page of Tbhotch that was distressing and it should've been placed on my own talk page. I take full responsibility for my actions, and if unblocked I will not remove content from other people's talk pages except my own.

Based on your AIV report, I think an indefinite block was the correct decision. PhilKnight (talk) 20:09, 25 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Can i just say i asked Tbhotch if it was a mistake or difference of opinion as to why Charlie had removed stuff from his talkpage. I was in no way personally attacking anyone. I had told Charlie on his talkpage that due to the number of warnings on your talkpage (he'd some level 4 and five ones) and for continual edit wars he was at risk of ANI. then when i saw the vandalism on TbHotch's page i was convinced that ANi would be appropriate but Charlie filed one against me and Tbhotch before i had chance to file one for him. Lil-unique1 (talk) 19:46, 25 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

To DoRD, I was trying to make a point that the person credited with writing a song had to be credited under their stage name if they were a singer. Whether it has anything to do with BMI/ACAS listings is another matter, but the point I was trying to prove is that according to The Fame, the album booklet states Lady Gaga and RedOne as the songwriters. And to Lil-unique1, I cannot argue with you, but please be more careful in what you are saying.User:CharlieJS13 (talk) 21:01, 25 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

The discussion here shows a clear consensus to credit the songs to the songwriters' real names, not their stage names. Your continued insistence on doing it the other way round will not help you get a shorter block. —DoRD (talk) 20:15, 25 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

to Charlie, if you took offence to what asked TbHotch, then i'm sorry. It wasn't my intention. We understand your point. The album's booklet credits her as Lady Gaga and him as RedOne on the album's page. However BMI lists the SONG's credits. It contains the LEGAL protection for the song as a sole release and body of the artist's work therefore when talking about song's we tend to credit her as Stefani Germanotta and him as Nadir Khayat. For the albums we can use Gaga and RedOne. This what was decided in further discussion.Lil-unique1 (talk) 20:18, 25 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Highly qualified and generous offer of mentorship accepted, and editor accepts the restrictions:

  1. 0RR. No reverting of another editor's changes, even if it appears to be vandalism. This applies to any change that restores older material, even if the "undo" button isn't used.
  2. No edits to songwriting credits.
  3. No removal of content from any page outside of mainspace (stripped of jargon, that means he can delete material from articles, but not from talk pages, user pages, user talk pages, policy pages, or templates).

Any failure to abide by this would result in an immediate restoration of the indefinite block.

Mentorship offer edit

I'm too involved in this dispute to be the blocking or unblocking admin, but I would like to propose a 90-day mentorship program to allow CharlieJS13 to be unblocked. Restrictions would be:

  1. 0RR. No reverting of another editor's changes, even if it appears to be vandalism. This applies to any change that restores older material, even if the "undo" button isn't used.
  2. No edits to songwriting credits.
  3. No removal of content from any page outside of mainspace (stripped of jargon, that means he can delete material from articles, but not from talk pages, user pages, user talk pages, policy pages, or templates).

Any failure to abide by this would result in an immediate restoration of the indefinite block.

I'll act as the mentor. Anytime CharlieJS13 wants to revert an editor or modify a songwriting credit, he needs to discuss it with me, and I'll grant single-time permission if I judge it to be appropriate.—Kww(talk) 14:39, 26 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

OK, Now that you are unblocked ... edit

I've been through this before, and the only time it goes badly is when impatience becomes a problem. I monitor things reasonably closely, but there are times when I am off Wikipedia for a day. If you think I missed a question, just ask it again. Don't proceed with something you are restricted from doing because I took too long to answer.

I'll monitor your edits, and let you know when I see problems that don't quite violate your restrictions. If I see behaviour that does violate your restrictions, I'll reblock you without any warning whatsoever.

If you have questions about why and how things are done, just come by my talk page and ask.

I'll put a mentorship notice on your userpage and talk page letting people know what your restrictions are, and asking them to notify me if they believe that you have violated them.—Kww(talk) 15:56, 26 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Your edit to User talk:Tbhotch edit

CharlieJS13, may I ask what, exactly, was the point of your edit here today? You know full well that Tbhotch was not "vandalizing" the Lady Gaga song pages, and in fact you are the one who was blocked for edit warring against consensus on those articles. Such a comment on their talk page, "replying" to a completely unrelated message, is harassment. You need to let this issue go. Now. — Satori Son 19:31, 27 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Completely and absolutely unacceptable edit

This edit was absolutely unacceptable, and is a violation of WP:NPA. Tbhotch has never vandalised a Lady Gaga page, and, in all likelihood, never will. In this dispute, the only editor that was editing problematically was you, and even you didn't vandalise the article pages. Your edits to Tbhotch's talk pages and WP:ANI where you removed material were treated as vandalism.

You need to drop this issue. Further personal attacks against Tbhotch or Lil-Unique will result in you being blocked as well.—Kww(talk) 20:28, 27 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

And a clarification edit

You aren't permitted to remove text from your own talk page, either. I'll let this one slide without reblocking you, but you cannot remove material from your talk page by terms of your probation.—Kww(talk) 20:31, 27 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Disabilities edit

Any disability you suffer is completely irrelevant to the situation. There are behaviours that are acceptable, and those that are not. You have a set of special restrictions placed on you, and you must abide by them.—Kww(talk) 20:59, 27 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Edit request edit

Please make my user page and user talk page semi-protected please. {{editsemiprotected}} This is because I seem to have the same administrators editing my pages and making new discussions. I prefer to have different administrators discussing various matters. If possible, I would be very grateful. CharlieJS13 (talk 17:15, 28 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Not done First, talk pages are an avenue of communication. I understand your concern and agree that fresh eyes might help the situation, but attempting to restrict certain administrators from editing your user talk page is inappropriate.
Second, even if your talk page were semi-protected, administrators (as well as most registered users) would still be able to edit it. Semi-protection only bars unregistered editors and very new accounts from editing the page. The main reason a talk page would be semi-protected is if it were being vandalized by such users.
With regard to edits to your user page, I don't see any edits made by anyone other than you going back at least a week.
Accordingly, I do not see any reason to protect the page, so I regret I must decline your request. —C.Fred (talk) 16:27, 28 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Today's editing (and reply) edit

I have not been harsh with you at all. I'm sorry that you think that I have. I've reviewed your edits for today, and didn't have any problems except for the request to have your page semi-protected. I'm sure that asking to have anonymous IP editors blocked from editing your talk page isn't what you intended. What were you actually trying to accomplish?—Kww(talk) 17:48, 28 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

A couple of questions edit

I reverted two of your edits today.

  1. Removal of "citation needed" tag. Why did you remove a "citation needed" tag without providing a citation?
  2. Name order change. Why would you think that Britney Spears was more recent than Ke$ha? Isn't it clearly the other way around?

List of Synthpop artists edit

Your disagreement is not with me but with inclusion policy for this particular article. As of now is pretty simple. 1. There must be an article for the band for it to listed 2. Somewhere in said article the word synthpop must appear. Otherwise it will be deleted as I have found out on more then one occasion. Since for whatever reason the magical word does not appear in the Lady Gaga article if I did not delete the entry somebody probably would have within a couple of days. Especially because people have strong feelings about that particular artist. I do not agree with elements of the policy and brought it the talk page. One other editor commented on my disagreements and liked things just the way they were. Thus no consensus for change I had a choice, not edit the article or go along with the consensus policy. I chose to go along with the consensus.

That said please don't threaten me before you go to the talk page and check out things. In my edit summery I said your entry was was done in very good faith I and gave you a procedure to get Lady GaGa into the list. And what do I get for that, a threat to report me noticeboard!!!!.

Request reason:

Based on the reasons for my block regarding Kylie Minogue and Alejandro, I was trying to keep the articles "tidy" by formatting "Europop" to "europop" and reverting "Synthpop" on the Kylie article which user Edkollin placed accidently without giving a valid reason why it was placed there, as the article states "discuss on the talk page before changing". This is my reason why I should be unblocked, and if possible if I am unblocked, I would like to be permanently blocked from editing song and songwriter articles.

This applies to any change that restores older material, even if the "undo" button isn't used", what reason is there to believe that you are capable of obeying any editing restrictions? This wasn't a particularly legalistic interpretation problem, you literally hit the "undo" button with this edit. How on earth was that "unintentional"?—Kww(talk) 21:05, 8 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

CharlieJS13 offer to be unblocked edit

 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Having fully read the comment posted by Kww, I can admit that based on my mentorship rules and regulations, I did not fully understood the 0RR rule and that my actions on Kylie Minogue and Alejandro were unacceptable. However, having taken more time to understand WP:0RR, I must be more aware not to revert to any changes made on articles even if vandalism is a sign. I would therefore appreciate it if I can be unblocked from Wikipedia, and I am willing to cooperate more fully with the help of more experienced administrators should I experience any problems that may happen if I am unaware on what should I do if I spot anything suspicious. Therefore, I truthfully promise not to do it again, and I am willing to contribute to Wikipedia more fully if I feel that it will not get me into trouble.

Decline reason:

The conditions of the unblock above were unusually clear. You indicted you agreed to the very simple terms and read the applicable policies. You still can't seem to understand the difference between vandalism and a minor content dispute, so I can't in any way feel comfortable that you would adhere to any other agreements. I'm sorry and disappointed that you broke your word to the two administrators that went out of their way to give you a second chance. Kuru (talk) 23:38, 8 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

If he is unblocked, I will continue to monitor and enforce the original restrictions. However, I recommend against unblocking.—Kww(talk) 21:43, 8 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Kww, I have now admitted that I was not fully aware of the 0RR rule, but I have now taken more time to read and understand it. I apologise for the inconvenience and confusion I have caused, as I feel Wikipedia is a great site and I so want to contribute more fully with admins like yourself, I just feel I need more help.
