  Hello, I'm FlightTime. Please refrain from changing genres as you did to the page Nobody's Home (Avril Lavigne song) but you didn't provide a reliable source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. It has been removed and archived in the page history for now.

Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive.

Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 21:18, 14 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to change genres without discussion or sources, as you did at III (Banks album), you may be blocked from editing. - FlightTime (open channel) 21:18, 14 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you change genres in pages without discussion or sources, as you did at Banks (singer). - FlightTime (open channel) 21:20, 14 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • Hi Strokegod27728. Please do not make changes to genres w/o being very certain that they are fully backed by reliable sources. Genres are usually established by consensus and unilateral changes can get people annoyed. If you think a significant change is warranted please discuss it first on the article talk page. Lastly you may have gotten a block notice. After noting that you are a new editor I have reverted the block. But please be aware that persistent changes to genres that are not properly sourced can be seen as a specie of disruptive editing. I am going to post some links in a template for you below this note. Best regards... -Ad Orientem (talk) 00:00, 17 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

  • Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the   button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
  • Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
