Hi Tecarterk31! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at TLC (group) 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.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Hard Core (Lil' Kim album). This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although 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) 23:20, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Prince (musician), but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 08:37, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Too much trivial stuff, too many poor sources, and WP:MULTIPLE

I have cut down some of your contributions, along with your logged-out contributions as the Baton Rouge IP range Special:Contributions/2600:8807:401:170:0:0:0:0/64. The problem is that you are violating WP:INDISCRIMINATE by inserting too many trivial list entries, and you are not sticking to WP:Reliable sources, especially WP:SECONDARY sources. I have removed some YouTube interviews, some blog pages, and other primary sources that are not enough to establish importance of the fact relative to the topic.

If you're going to say that one artist influenced other artists, the reader is best served by listing the most important ones, and by giving some context for each. A simple list does not supply context. Tell a little story about each of the most important examples, and the reader will be engaged. A huge list with no context and the reader will turn off.

Finally, you have violated WP:MULTIPLE by editing the same article with your username and then later with your Baton Rouge IP addesses.[1][2] If you are going to edit the same article, you must use the same identity each time, or you will be blocked. Binksternet (talk) 22:02, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Tecarterk31! Your additions to Hard Core (Lil' Kim album) have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 23:23, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Ok sorry I may have been misinformed Tecarterk31 (talk) 21:32, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Stop adding trivia based on YouTube videos

I keep removing your poorly sourced additions, especially when they are based on a YouTube video showing an interview. Wikipedia's best sources are WP:SECONDARY sources in which a journalist might write that Artist A influenced Artist B. That's the kind of stuff which proves the connection is important to the topic. Much less important is a brief mention by the artist in an interview.

I have also removed some of your additions that added a second or third reference to something that is already referenced. There's no need to fatten the article with no improvement seen by the reader. Binksternet (talk) 20:45, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Ok sorry

Stop Disruptive editing.

You have a real problem with disruptive editing. I noticed that with every edit that you make you add random trivia that don't add any value to these articles. When someone removes your edits you add more just stop it! Also stop citing things from random blogs that are not reliable. OkIGetIt20 (talk) 23:43, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

New accounts

Hi - I see that you created a couple of new accounts (Retireduser305 and RetiredUser215). Since this account is not blocked, creating a new account is not itself a violation of policy, per WP:CLEANSTART; however, you went back to the same articles you had edited before, and started making similar kinds of edits, which invalidates the idea that these are cleanstart accounts. I've blocked those two accounts, but you are welcome to continue contributing under this account if you so wish, provided you follow the advice you have been given above about avoiding adding copyright violations. Girth Summit _(blether) 12:30, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

OK, if you want to play games and deny that those accounts are yours, I'll block this account too. Girth Summit _(blether) 13:44, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Blocked for sockpuppetry

Wikipedia's technical logs indicate that this user account has been or may be used abusively per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/June213. It has been blocked indefinitely from editing to prevent abuse.

Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.
