Hi. Thank you for your recent edits.

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.)

  Hello, I'm Toddst1. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Foggy Mountain Boys, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 17:42, 16 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Deceased

edit

I've reverted you on several articles and I know at least one other editor has done so as well. There does not appear to be any traction to your changing articles to reflect this change. You might want to discuss it at a music-related topics project page to gain some consensus. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:32, 18 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Please do not go through articles adding (deceased) and/or death dates to members of bands. There are a number of issues about doing this.

  • This information is usually unsourced.
  • It's biographical info often not relevant to the band, only to the individual. If the person is notable in themselves, then the linked article will contain this biographical info.
  • The additional date detracts from the date they left the band, which is more significant and relevant.
  • Listing a band member's death date, sometimes decades after leaving a band, gives the impression they were somehow still connected to the band, when they may not be.
  • If a band member dies while still active in the band, this is material more suited for the article itself, and will usually be mentioned there.

Thanks. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 21:21, 19 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Sources needed for Days of the Year pages

edit

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages now require direct sources for additions. For details see the content guideline, the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide or the edit notice on any DOY page. Almost all new additions without references are now being reverted on-sight.

Please do not add new additions to these pages without direct sources as the burden to provide them is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages.

Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 23:17, 28 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
