Welcome! edit

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! 10mmsocket (talk) 16:15, 16 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Linking to other articles edit

Please don't link to articles that are not specifically about the item - for example the given name that you linked to for a Bowie song title. You should have linked to an article about the song, or left it without a link. Any questions just ask. 10mmsocket (talk) 16:24, 16 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

August 2021 edit

  Instruments listed in the infobox should be limited to only those that the artist is primarily known for using. The instruments infobox parameter is not intended as a coat rack for every instrument the subject has ever used. Secondary instruments are not listed in the infobox, per musical artist instruments. Secondary instruments are meant to be brought up in the article body. Thank you. - FlightTime Phone (open channel) 21:40, 16 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Zmbro. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to "Heroes" (David Bowie album) have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. You're currently at three reverts. One more can get you blocked.zmbro (talk) 02:29, 17 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Raw Moon (band) moved to draftspace edit

An article you recently created, Raw Moon (band), 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 "Draft:" 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.

September 2021 edit

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at David Bowie, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Secondary instruments are not listed in the infobox, they're meant to be brought up in the article body per Infobox musical artist - FlightTime (open channel) 21:02, 11 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make disruptive edits to Wikipedia contrary to the Manual of Style, as you did at Jim Morrison. Secondary instruments are not listed in the infobox, they're meant to be brought up in the article body per Infobox musical artist - FlightTime (open channel) 21:03, 11 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you change genres in pages without discussion or sources, as you did at Look Back in Anger (song). - FlightTime (open channel) 21:07, 11 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Davy Jones (musician) edit

Read the note in the infobox, as well as the edit summaries of others who have reverted your edits. The infobox is only for the main instruments. If you think other instruments should be added then you must discuss it on the talk page and get a consensus. ... discospinster talk 21:14, 11 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Issuing level 1 warning about removing AfD template from articles before the discussion is complete. (Peachy 2.0 (alpha 8)) edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Rupert The Riley (song). Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 03:23, 20 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
