Edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on M-150 (energy drink). Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Jytdog (talk) 19:25, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This deletionist editor believes that he has some sort of a magical right to delete things from other people? (I have tried to keep other unsourced elements because in my understand that's how Wikipedia works: an unfrequented article is modified one day by an unfrequent contributor, someone else flags his addition with a tag, a few months to years later someone finally finds the reference. Remove the initial content, and most often than final part will never happen.)

VERIFY

Please do not add or change content, as you did at M-150 (energy drink), 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. Jytdog (talk) 19:26, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This editor really has the nerves! I provided all reliable references to this article and his deletions actually primarily affected content that I did not add. Rdavout (talk) 19:56, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Premature removal of notability tag

You aren't doing an article any favors by removing the notability tag before it's had a chance to be improved. Leaving the tag on means it will get more attention from editors who are motivated to improve it and (potentially) save it from deletion. Don't jump to the conclusion that the tag = deletion. — Brianhe (talk) 20:55, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well understood. Thanks for taking the time to explain that point. Rdavout (talk) 20:57, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Are you familiar with the WP:Terms of use?

A change in the terms of use made a year ago requires that if you are a paid editor that you disclose your staus as a paid editor and that you disclose your client and affiliations. May I ask if you are being paid to edit the M-150 article? Let me know if you need any help with the terminology. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 02:01, 3 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I was not paid to edit that article. For a full disclaimer I have purchased a few dozen of the drinks over the course of my lifetime though I hadn't consumed any M-150 while contributing to the article or in a number of years before that contribution and haven't even purchased any since that date. Funny that contribution was pointed out. I wonder if Jytdog was asked if he was paid to push for its deletion despite clear notability in a South-East Asian context.

Champagne-Polka moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Champagne-Polka, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. b uidhe 20:30, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ägyptischer Marsch (February 20)

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

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.

This draft does not appear to indicate which of the musical notability criteria is satisfied. If at least one of the criteria is satisfied, please revise this draft appropriately, with a reliable source, if necessary stating on the talk page which criterion is met, and resubmit.

You may ask for advice about the musical notability criteria at the Teahouse.

This draft is a request to spin out an article. Proposals to spin out a topic from an article into another stand-alone article should be discussed at the talk page of the existing article, unless the draft satisfies a special notability guide. If the draft satisfies a special notability guide, please identify the notability criterion with a reliable source.

This does not mean that the draft should be spun out, and it does not mean that the draft should not be spun out. It does mean that discussion should be on the talk page of the existing article, Talk:Johann Strauss II]. (If this draft is resubmitted without discussion on the talk page of the existing article and does not satisfy a special notability guide, it may be Rejected or nominated for deletion.)

This draft has only one reference, which is usually not enough to satisfy notability, in particular when a parent article is available. If there are any other sources about this composition, please include references.

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 Draft:Ägyptischer Marsch and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
