  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Easier (5 Seconds of Summer song); that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet (talk) 23:55, 28 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. Some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Vessel (Twenty One Pilots album), have conflicted with our neutral point of view and/or verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. Your source is referring to the band and not the album as you incorrectly stated. Robvanvee 08:43, 4 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

WP:GWAR

edit

It is rather deceptive to add genres with swathes of references that do not make specific mention of said genres in the prose or that do not directly refer to the genres added. Please note that the above essay refers specifically to single purpose accounts at Wikipedia such as yours and as such edits from these accounts require higher levels of scrutiny. I mention this for your benefit but also for other editors stumbling across these disruptive additions. Please take this opportunity to provide accurate references for your genre edits.

  Hi Calalaloptin! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia — it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Reverts on Stressed Out

edit

Hi Calalalopatin! Recently you had reverted some of my edits due to not having genres sourced. Stressed Out has been proven to be a trip hop song by many sources due to its instrumentation, yet it does not come close to alternative hip hop.

  Please refrain from adding, removing or changing genres, as you did to Levitate (Twenty One Pilots song), without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Robvanvee 08:31, 5 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Your addition to Holding on to You (Twenty One Pilots song) has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

Reliable sources

edit

Hi, you might find WP:RSPS helpful as it identifies many common sources and the consensus on reliability for each, such as Medium which is classified as generally unreliable: a blog hosting service. As a self-published source, it is considered generally unreliable and should be avoided unless the author is a subject-matter expert or the blog is used for uncontroversial self-descriptions. Medium should never be used as a secondary source for living persons. I've removed the cite to Medium that you added to Imagine Dragons. Schazjmd (talk) 14:55, 20 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Lane Boy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rock. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:13, 18 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
