Johnny Depp edit

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.

Erm... thanks for posting, but what's this got to do with me? HamishMacBeth 13:23, 2 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Dylan & Gospel edit

You have removed Gospel music from the genres of Bob Dylan music several times. I have argued for its inclusion. I posted this comment on Dylan Talk page:

I think it's valid to include Gospel in Dylan's genres, since he made 2 Gospel album, Slow Train Coming & Saved, as well as many other songs that could be included in the Gospel tradition, eg Every Grain of Sand, Groom's Still Waiting at the Altar. Album of cover versions of Dylan's Gospel compositions by distinguished Gospel singers has been released: Gotta Serve Somebody.

Article states:
Dylan's work in the late 1970s and early 1980s was dominated by his becoming, in 1979, a born-again Christian. He released two albums of exclusively religious material, exploring his own version of Gospel music. Slow Train Coming (1979), is generally regarded as the more accomplished of these albums, winning him the Grammy Award as "Best Male Vocalist" for his song "Gotta Serve Somebody". The second album, Saved (1980), was not so well-received. When touring from the fall of 1979 through the spring of 1980 Dylan refused to play secular music.

If you disagree with above, could you post your arguments for removal on Dylan Talk page. Then we can discuss it with other Wikipedia editors. Please do not simply remove without discussion. Mick gold 15:22, 22 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

I have twice more (in recent days) reverted Anthony's uncommented deletion of "gospel" as one of the genres listed in the infobo. Anthony, please try to be constructive. Improve the article or add to it. Please don't just delete the work of others with no comment. On the subject at hand, surely Dylan wrote or recorded gospel style songs as much as he did blues style. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hult041956 (talkcontribs) 05:52, 15 October 2007 (UTC) My apologies for forgetting to sign. It was simple forgetfulness. Hult041956 05:59, 15 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
I got your reply on my talk page. It's cool. I didn't realize you and Mick had already covered this ground. No doubt Dylan provides a challenge to those trying to classify him. I would tend to cast a net wider and let more in. But I definitely understand your point. And I'd be on your side if someone was adding "techno" or "bebop" to the list. I see you've deleted it again; I'll let that stand. Best regards, Hult041956 20:44, 16 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

The Beatles edit

There is a discussion about what genres to list for the Beatles. You are welcome to take part in this, but do not just remove items from the article without discussion or at the very least an edit summary. Thank you. Freshacconci 14:23, 24 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re: Beatles Genres. Okay. I accept that. Just being grumpy that day. Freshacconci 18:06, 25 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Oasis edit

Get him to talk on the talk page if possible. If he doesn't and keeps this up for the next few days, contact an administrator. WesleyDodds 01:03, 19 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard is close to what we're looking for, but not quite; follow the links on that page until you find something appropriate. I don't get into problems much, but if I do I usually just find an individual administrator. WesleyDodds 01:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

The same beef as above: The Kinks edit

Could you justify why you're repeatedly removing genres from the Kinks page and using a non-standard format?Gimme danger 05:47, 24 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Okay, that makes sense. But it seems that the standard for bands with multiple genres is to have them in a list, rather than separated by a slash. Fair compromise? Gimme danger 08:17, 24 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
