January 2014

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Charles Dutoit, with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 09:30, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Charles Dutoit may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

• the last musician was fired back around 1980. Never having had the need to refer to clause 12.05 c) until last month, the MSO musicians were shocked at its contents. It is understandable, then, that
• forcing him to resign while diverting attention from the Guild's mishandling of clause 12.05 c). Articles in the daily newspapers suggest that the majority of MSO musicians were surprised by

Charles Dutoit

That is sourced by the New York Time which is considered a wp:RS. Calling it "False and unverified accusations" would appear to be inaccurate. Perhaps the content is wp:undue, but you need to build a case for that. Jim1138 (talk) 09:32, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Charles Dutoit with this edit, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Please cite sources

I removed your additions as they were unsourced. Feel free to replace them, with sources. Unsourced content, especially of a controversial nature, may be removed immediately.
People want to be able to verify information on Wikipedia. So, significant edits need have their content cited using reliable sources. See verifiablity. This means that information must be published, and presumably vetted, by reliable groups and individuals. What you should do is to locate a source that supports the edit you wish to make. Then add a citation to that. Peruse the welcome section above to learn about editing Wikipedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a note on my talk page. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 10:15, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

It's your job to make sure that one can find the citations. I extended the la Scena Musicale cite to your edit. Please verify that it is correct? Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 10:23, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Would you be careful, please? You are breaking stuff. I changed your refs to <ref name="ScenaMusicale"/> which follows the recommended format. Jim1138 (talk) 10:31, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Charles Dutoit and resolving disputes

One should first discuss issues on the article's talk page. In this case talk:Charles Dutoit. See help:talk pages and, for more detail, wp:talk page guidelines. For policy and recommended procedures, see wp:dispute resolution (DR) and wp:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. I would recommend that you wp:ping the editor reverting you with your discussion on the talk page. It's a bit tricky, one must save the ping and signature at the same time otherwise it doesn't work. Starting a discussion on the talk page is the first step.
It appears that you have been editing while logged out. Please be careful as editing from this account and logged out might give the impression that you are trying to appear as more than one person. That is wp:sockpuppetry and is strongly frowned upon. i.e. can result in a wp:block. BTW: the editor does warn when you save an edit while logged out.

• For style information, see wp:Simplified Manual of Style or the detailed wp:Manual of Style (MOS), the search box on the upper right can be useful, but often returns too many hits.
• A few policies regarding this sort of article is wp:biographies of living persons and, from the reverter's wp:edit summary, WP:NOTRESUME.
• Honors and prizes should be limited to a few significant awards. This can be difficult to find a good line to draw. Discuss this on the talk page. See wp:Manual of Style/Embedded lists
• Remember, this article is for a lay reader, information should be meaningful and useful for a person wanting to find out basic information on the subject.
• Much is covered in the welcome section above!
• I hope this helps! You can always ask at the wp:teahouse or wp:help desk. You would probably get a more refined answer and faster response. Thanks for asking! Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 19:53, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Bare URL's

You have a habit of providing references that consist of a bare url -- just the text out of the URL bar of your browser copied and pasted into the Wiki text. This is not good Wikipedia practice. Please see the article Wikipedia:Bare URLs for guidance. Thank you.--Jburlinson (talk) 05:00, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
