Please be cautious when reverting edits to articles, as you did at Armada Music. We're required to assume good faith on the part of other editors. Getting facts wrong is not in and of itself vandalism, and calling edits vandalism without evidence of vandalism can be viewed as disruptive. You can revert someone who got the facts wrong without accusing them of vandalism. Thanks! UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 13:09, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
@UltraExactZZ, I apologize, it may have been a bit quick to judge and assume vandalism. However, I do feel that reverting to an earlier edit was the right thing to do here. The addition of artists like Ricky Martin and Iggy Azalea on the page of a record label focused on Electronic music seemed a bit off to me, especially because that same user also added artists such as Justin Bieber and the iCarly character to the list of artists a month prior, the latter having no ties to the music industry whatsoever. I think this warrants me reverting to an earlier edit (while taking note/incorporating changes from other users that contributed afterwards as well). That being said, I will take your advice to heart and exercise more caution in the future.

- Oh, no doubt - your edits themselves were fine. And if they hadn't been, chances are someone would have reverted you. My concern began and ended with calling it vandalism prematurely - beyond that, you're fine. Let me know if I can be of assistance in the future.

@UltraExactZZ, thank you for your response. Since you're offering (I assume :)), I've been trying to look into ways to improve the Armada Music wiki so that it's up to par on every aspect, to fix the NPOV issues that have arisen on this page ("written like an advertisement"). I've tried looking into the guidelines and rules in an attempt to discover which parts of the current article are too ambiguous/ not NPOV, but I'm struggling to determine the phrases that need fixing, as it all seems pretty straightforward fact-mentioning to me. Could you perhaps give me a nudge in the right direction? --RBCM91 (talk) 13:11, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
