Sheck Wes

Hi. After your edit to Sheck Wes, I noticed some errors in the table markup. Please go to the page history and select to view your version (<- or just click that), then select to edit it, then fix everything using the Show preview button to check everything is correct, then republish when you're sure the result will be correct. Your effort is not lost, it was just a bit broken, and can be retrieved easily. Please try again; thank you :) Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 00:44, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There's no point now, it'll take forever to put all of that back.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Brandnewflipflops (talk • contribs) 00:46, August 17, 2019 (UTC)

No it won't. Follow this link to your version as you left it then select edit as normal. You will then be editing your work as you left it. Just fix the errors, checking with Show preview that it's all good, then publish when it is. There's no need to worry. Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 00:50, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So you see now that the difference between how you originally left it, and how it is now you have fixed it is quite small. I hope you're feeling good about this experience :) Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 01:41, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just in case you were confused by any of this, here are a couple of help pages you might find, dare I say, helpful? Help:Page history and Help:Diff are all about navigating the changes to and previous editions of pages on Wikipedia (and other MediaWiki wikis). When an edit is reverted, it doesn't cease to exist, it is just not showing as the current version of the page. We can go back into the history of the page and even edit an older version to save as a new version. It's like time travel without the awkward paradoxes ;) Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 01:52, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page if you need help with anything in the future, or if I'm not around, you can ask for help by placing {{help me}} (click on the link for more details) on the your talk page (this one) or on the respective talk page wherever the help is needed.

Thanks for your effort :) Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 02:20, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (August 19)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Dan arndt were:

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails requirements of WP:NMUSICIAN - lacks significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Brandnewflipflops/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to User:Brandnewflipflops/sandbox, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Brandnewflipflops! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Dan arndt (talk) 01:47, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Do not add the weekly charts subheading until there are other types of charts listed

Weekly charts are the primary form of charts, and it is generally known all charts listed are weekly unless otherwise specified. Adding it as a subheading when there are no other types (year-end, sometimes even monthly) charts listed is redundant, so we don't do it. Please don't waste your time adding it to any more articles, it will be promptly removed. Ss112 20:19, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please be mindful of the formatting you're using when adding singles to rappers' articles. Make sure the wikitables say "Wikitable plainrowheaders", and use scope="row"| before every song title like this, where I've just fixed up your contributions on NLE Choppa. Thank you. Ss112 20:54, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

August 2019

Please do not add or change content, as you did at NLE Choppa, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Ss112 03:26, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your edit summary [1], you didn't add any sources. Check what? Using references as notes is not appropriate. There are specific footnote templates to use for that. Also, yet again after being asked above, you failed to add "wikitable plainrowheaders" when adding the title for a mixtape here, so it showed in bold. If you disregard the MOS in future edits, regardless of whatever you have added, you will be reverted outright. Ss112 03:29, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Scope row

I added scope row above the thing, I don't really understand — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brandnewflipflops (talk • contribs) 04:25, August 21, 2019 (UTC)

The |scope= attribute is used to improve accessibility, particular for screen readers. Simply: If a table header is the header for a column, we add |scope="col"| or on a row header, |scope="row"|. The function is defined at Mozilla Developer Network's site on this page about advanced table features and accessibility. For MediaWiki (including Wikipedia) wikis, see Help:Table for a lot of examples. Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 14:47, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Taylor Swift's album had NOT been released at the time you updated the article

You do realize the album is still under a strict embargo to not be released until midnight US time, right? Don't assume every album is released at midnight in every country, especially for big pop albums. Ss112 03:39, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Smokepurpp. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:30, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Stop misusing the edit summary "cleanup"

Judging by this edit, you clearly don't know what "cleanup" means. You've caused more things that need to be cleaned up than you've actually cleaned up yourself. Absolutely none of your edits have been cleaning up anything. Describe what you've actually done and leave actual cleanup to editors who know what they're doing. Or, you know, stop using Visual Edit, which screws up the formatting of a page even more. Thanks. Ss112 03:49, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

August 2019 (2)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Young M.A. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Stop restoring your edit, it wasn't helpful, and your use of Visual Edit is messing everything up. Ss112 17:14, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, stop changing "EPs" to "extended plays" everywhere. EP is a more concise and recognisable term; use of one should not be changed to the other. Leave it as it is on the article you found out. You will be reverted if you continue to do this. Ss112 17:14, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your user page

Hi Brandnewflipflops. Thanks for your contributions to the project. However, I noticed that you have a section on your user page that appears to be highly critical of another editor. Wikipedia is not a social media website or blog. While there is some tolerance for personalizing ones user page, we prefer that it not be used in a manner inconsistent with the objectives of the project. And attacking other editors is a no no. If you have issues with someone try to work it out in a talk page discussion or ask for mediation. See also WP:DR for other tips. For now I would ask that you please delete that section of your user page. Please also see WP:UP for guidelines on userpages. Thanks again for your work on the project. It is much appreciated. -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:14, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
