Sunspot edit

Hi. Can we discuss about the multiple reversions on this article? Obviously I and others feel that linking a tendentious popular account of a peripheral issue is out of place in this article, but global warming is a complicated subject in which sunspots surely are involved at some low level (see my article [Solar Activity] for example). However my feeling is that an article on sunspots should be about sunspots, and things conservatively known to be true about them. I would like to edit this whole article at some point, since it has a lot of weaknesses, but thus far have just tackled an old very bad introductory bit and your note on the documentary. I have not see that but have looked at the Wikipedia discussion of it.

Sunspot edit

Several editors have a problem with the edit you keep making to the sunspot article. Please discuss on the article talk page rather than mindlessly re-adding it over and over again. Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 13:50, 7 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

May 2015 edit

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Mad About the Boy, you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet (talk) 01:58, 6 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

I am not disruptive editing. Wikipedia is a reference work to educate and inform and it is a completely valid entry to include the tracks on this album when they have been released specifically for the gay community, especially where mainstream music for a gay audience is almost absent. The references to the released covers of these songs are not intended to promote anything, they are intended to show that these tracks have been openly recorded for a gay audience in a 2008 album, something which is of notable social importance. There is no commentary on the work, no promotion of the work, no external links, no adjectives of any kind, simply a reference that the work was recorded and released in the public domain in 2008. [1] The artist is not notable but the fact these songs were done for a gay audience is. Taurusthecat (talk) 02:33, 6 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at The Man I Love (song). Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

Conversation has shifted to Talk:The_Man_I_Love_(song) I believe the protesting editors approach to this issue is discussed here: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Countering_systemic_bias #Selection based on notability of article topics Taurusthecat (talk) 13:48, 6 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

If you want to notify people on WikiProjects about a current issue then it's best to use the project's talk page. The talk page of WikiProject Religion is here, for example: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Religion. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 14:25, 15 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

When you post a new thread on a talk page then be sure to put it at the bottom of the page and include a header (see what I did here). — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 15:00, 15 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
