[edit]
Please refrain from making major edits on Wikipedia pages such as those you made to Neil Young, without first discussing your changes on the article's talk page, Your edit(s) require discussion to establish consensus as this is considered a major change. Your edits do not appear to have been discussed and have been reverted. Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:19, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Who (album), it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Ss112 02:44, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
Do not perform cut-and-paste moves
[edit]Please do not copy content that you did not entirely write yourself into another article title, as you did with WHO (The Who album) to Who (The Who album). This is wrong to do, because attribution is required when copying within Wikipedia, and the edit history (including the editors who wrote the content) must be preserved. Please request a page move at WP:RM/TR instead. Thank you. Ss112 03:03, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

[edit]
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Who (album). 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. One more restoration of this BS WP:OR and speculation you're fighting to keep and you're being reported to an administrator. Stop acting like you get final say on what content is included on the article. You don't own Wikipedia articles, so don't act like you do because nobody does. Ss112 00:34, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

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.
Hi Mad.acme
[edit]Sorry we missed your arrival and are a bit late with the welcome. I'm Ad Orientem one of the editors on here and also an administrator. My job is to help. There is a learning curve but it's not very steep and you should be fine in a little while. Regarding the note that Ss112 left above, he is concerned that you are adding material that is not backed by a reliable source. One of our major rules here is that everything we post must be verifiable. This is done by citing any claims of fact that are not obviously uncontroversial. On which note please overlook the sharp tone in Ss112's notice above. I am quite certain he did not realize you were a new editor. He is one of our more experienced editors and is very well versed in the modern music genre and related articles. If you have any questions please feel free to drop a line on my talk page which is linked in my signature. Thanks for your contributions to the project. Best regards... -Ad Orientem (talk) 02:26, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
