Welcome!

Hello, Aaw1989, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

Soft Machine members

I see you have made a lot of edits to the List of Soft Machine and spin-off band members page. None of these edits have summaries and you seem to have removed alot of information. Just asking for an explanation of your edits. 80s Sam (talk) 12:21, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I was just trying to make the list of band members less confusing and messy, particularly with regards to session musicians, please feel free to change and/or add any information you feel is important. Aaw1989 (talk) 17:49, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I realise that my initial message seems a bit negative. I think your edits are really good but it would be nice if you could add edit summaries and/or do like 5 large edits instead of 15 small ones. It makes the version history easier to read. 80s Sam (talk) 23:02, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you and you're right about summaries and edits, i'll take that on board. Aaw1989 (talk) 23:42, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

December 2022

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to List of Journey band members does not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Zinnober9 (talk) 08:02, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for reverting your recent experiment with the page King Crimson. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use your sandbox instead, as someone could see your edit before you revert it. Thank you. Stroness (talk) 19:21, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Aaw1989! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at King Crimson 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. Stroness (talk) 21:23, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message, i'll be more aware in the future. Aaw1989 (talk) 23:02, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Yes (band), you may be blocked from editing. - FlightTime (open channel) 06:26, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:MOS

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Deep Purple, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Among others, please review WP:PEACOCK - FlightTime (open channel) 02:09, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Austin Snake Boy. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Deep Purple have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. Austin Snake Boy (talk) 13:30, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Stormbringer (album). Sundayclose (talk) 14:04, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm L'Mainerque. I noticed that you recently removed content from List of Yes band members without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. - L'Maynerque - ("May you [insert query here]?") - 23:52, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Most edits you mark as "minor" are not minor edits.

"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.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Hot Rocks 1964–1971. Sundayclose (talk) 14:11, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for November 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Frank Zappa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore. 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) 06:04, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Release date

Hi Aaw1989. I reverted your recent edit to the infobox for Joe's Garage here, as Template:Infobox album says: "Original album release date". You might want to consider self-reverting some of your other similar additions. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:27, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all your rapid self-reverts. Your additions were obviously all in good faith and I'm sorry that you spent time on what you thought were genuine improvements. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:26, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's okay, thank you for making me aware of the rule. Aaw1989 (talk) 14:56, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

July 2024

Please do not add or change content, as you did at The Moody Blues, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article.

discogs.com is not a reliable source - FlightTime Phone (open channel) 16:28, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Brian Jones, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. See MOS:POSS. CodeTalker (talk) 04:33, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Randy Jackson

I have reverted your edits on the Journey-related articles regarding Randy Jackson's status as a member in Journey. He was a member in Journey, not a session member. We have already discussed this at Talk:List of Journey band members, so don't try to stealth edit your version in, as it has already been decided that Randy is to be counted as a member of Journey. Please do not do this again. HorrorLover555 (talk) 13:12, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry I won't go near this page again. I figured providing four or five references would be enough evidence to the contrary but clearly you and some other wiki editors like misinformation and who am I to ruin that for you. Aaw1989 (talk) 13:59, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Misinformation has nothing to do with this. There was a long withstanding editor consensus that Randy is to be referred to as an official member. HorrorLover555 (talk) 14:04, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

October 2024

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Grooming gang moral panic in the United Kingdom, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.
