Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Chicago Fire FC, did not appear constructive and has 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 the 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. The club's common name is Chicago Fire, not "Chicago Fire FC". Their official name is listed below. Please stop changing the common name to something it's not. Walter Görlitz (talk) 08:24, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I double checked the Chicago Fire FC editing page and it doesn't say "common name". It says "club name", which is Chicago Fire FC. On the Seattle Sounders FC Wikipedia page you will see the same format. The Fire added FC to the new team name and logo to differentiate themselves from the NBC TV show Chicago Fire. T Yorke (talk) 21:44, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

The documentation, at template:Infobox football club, reads "clubname — The commonly-used name of the club." The common name for Sounders, Whitecaps and other teams includes the FC. There are other MLS teams where the FC does not constitute part of their common name so it's best not take examples from other team article pages. Chicago have been primarily known as "Chicago Fire", without anything else and recently changed their name from "SC" to "FC". It's too early to say how media will refer to them, but to date, it's still been "Chicago Fire". Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:47, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

It's up to the organization and the fans to decide what the team is called, not the media. Regardless, I don't have much interest in the subject anymore. T Yorke (talk) 17:27, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Rainin' moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Rainin', 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.

Non-free rationale for File:Stop the Bleeding cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Stop the Bleeding cover.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — JJMC89 (T·C) 05:34, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

According to my research, the plastic bottle and twist off cap was invented in 1973 by Nathaniel Wyeth, who had worked for DuPont, not Faygo: https://apnews.com/0a880979ac8f1e5786a7e888e412f12a.

Replaceable fair use File:Iggy-Pop-Post-Pop-Depression.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Iggy-Pop-Post-Pop-Depression.jpeg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.

Nomination of Neenah Menasha for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Neenah Menasha is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Neenah Menasha until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Richard3120 (talk) 21:44, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

I just added an additional reference to the song's page that is a more substantial discussion of the song. I also added a reference in regards to the the twin cities in Wisconsin, Neenah and Menasha, and moved the previous references to the correct sentence. The AllMusic entry is not just a "track listing", it has information regarding the song's release as a single along with a photo of the cover. Riot Fest has it's own Wikipedia page (since July 2012) and does appear to be an RS. In that article, the author urges readers to listen to the whole album but "particularly Neenah Menasha" as stated in the section's title, and then he describes details about the song's music video. I have also edited the sentence citing The Oakland Press and made it word-for-word with the source ("impressed with the big, full sound of tracks such as Neenah Menasha"). I would also like to point out that I've seen several pages for other comparable music singles on Wikipedia that don't cite any sources (or only one that is not an RS) that have been on Wikipedia for years. Regardless, I believe that the additional sources that I've added should suffice for it to be considered more substantial. T Yorke (talk) 06:46, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

1994

Heya, since it seems like you're the only other die hard Sponge fan around....by any chance, do you have mp3s of the songs "No Better Than Jane" or "Sodium"? They're 2 b-sides from the 1994 era, but, I haven't been able to track them down yet. There's a partial live performance of "Jane" on YouTube, but, that's about it. I have a bunch of other b-sides/outtakes, but, not those 2. Was just curious. Xanarki (talk) 22:21, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Haha, I'm sure there's more die hard Sponge fans around. I kind of just rediscovered their music during the pandemic. I don't have either of those mp3s but there's someone on YouTube under the name "crud sponge" that has some of their rare b-sides and might have them. T Yorke (talk) 04:19, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Yeah I tried asking him but no dice. Ah well. In any case, awhile ago I tried sorting thru all of my Sponge rare songs. Here's a list of them if you're ever curious about any: https://pastebin.com/cureL7dU Xanarki (talk) 02:16, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

I remembered that you mentioned a song called Sodium by Sponge and saw that someone recently uploaded it on YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UC_RwUk-hce4JQ3ZlXyQ7chA T Yorke (talk) 05:21, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Wax Ecstatic

Thanks for catching that typo, but please don't remove legitimate ratings and references--that constitutes disruptive editing, thanks. Caro7200 (talk) 16:51, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

As a follow-up, please note that you changed info that contradicts sourcing, or failed to add sources to your changes--if you have a source for the exact release date of July 2, you should add it. Also, it was determined on the Albums Project Page that AllMusic assigns ratings, not individual critics--they just write the reviews. I'm not going to change anything else, but I advise you to look at the article again, thanks. Caro7200 (talk) 17:01, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for adding content, but those two ratings that you added are dead links (if you click on them, they don't go anywhere). I added the reference at the end of the sentence stating July 2, 1996 was the album release date. That date is listed in "album information" through the AllMusic reference. What is the Albums Projects Page? T Yorke (talk) 20:46, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Cool, thanks. The other reviews were from books--so there's no link, just page numbers--although the Larkin, in its condensed version, is often online. Here's a useful page (and talk page) that took me a while to find: Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources. There's also this: Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums. Have a good day. Caro7200 (talk) 21:00, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

OK thanks. I corrected the statement about the AllMusic rating. Have a good day as well. T Yorke (talk) 20:17, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:MikeHeller2010.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Nomination of Lavatorium (album) for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Lavatorium (album) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lavatorium (album) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Replaceable fair use File:MikeHeller2010.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:MikeHeller2010.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. FMSky (talk) 19:35, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

2 outtakes

You might've already seen it, but Sponge released 2 outtakes from the Pinata era today. One heck of a surprise, I never knew they existed. Xanarki (talk) 16:05, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

I saw that. Pretty cool unreleased tracks. I noticed that Love & Sandwiches sounds very similar to Miles and one point in the song. T Yorke (talk) 20:32, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

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 Detroit, 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. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:20, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello. The edit that I made was just reverting the article to the previous edit since someone deleted accurate information. The major transportation information that was deleted from "Detroit" and "Chicago" is also listed in the Wikipedia infoboxes of "New York City", "Los Angeles", etc. and appears to have been there for years. I didn't originally add that information. So I believe that my editing was constructive. Where does it say that information shouldn't be there? T Yorke (talk) 04:31, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Taproot

Hello @T Yorke, you are currently engaged in an edit war with me on the Taproot (band) page. Please desist and discuss on the talk page instead. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 06:20, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Revirvlkodlaku, I'm just trying to add a link to the band's merch store. It says it's the official store on the band's official Facebook and Twitter pages. According to WP:SOCIALMEDIA, adding this information is acceptable. T Yorke (talk) 21:59, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

@T Yorke, what is not acceptable is your edit warring. Please familiarize yourself with the topic here: WP:Edit warring. As pertains to the external link you insist on placing on the page, please read WP:External links#Minimize the number of links. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 22:18, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

@Revirvlkodlaku, so it's acceptable for you to edit the article but if it's anyone else it's edit warring? Please familiarize yourself with WP:OWN. Also, in the page WP:External links#Minimize the number of links, it states: "More than one official link should be provided only when the additional links provide the reader with significant unique content and are not prominently linked from other official websites." T Yorke (talk) 00:27, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

@T Yorke, you are misrepresenting what has happened: you made an edit, I reverted you. So far so good. Your next step should have been to discuss on the talk page, per WP:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. Instead, you reverted back. This is how an edit war begins. I should not, then, have reverted once more, but I did; that is my bad. At this stage, we are at loggerheads: I believe I am correct in stating that the link doesn't belong, whereas you feel the opposite way. My position is that the site is a merch site, not an official Taproot site, despite what their social media states. If you feel strongly that your position is superior to mine, please seek a third opinion. I will copy this discussion to the Taproot page, where it belongs. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 02:27, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

@Revirvlkodlaku, in regards to a third opinion, it states: "This process is neither mandatory nor binding." on WP:Third opinion. I wonder why you seem so determined to keep the official store link from being in the article. The band definitely seems like they could use the help monetarily since they created a GoFundMe page to finance their upcoming album. Do you have some kind of personal issue with the band or what?

May 2024

Hello, I'm FlightTime. Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to Ted Nugent even if you provide a/some source(s), you'll still need to start a discussion on the article talk page to allow editors who regular watch that page a chance to discuss the reliability of the source(s) you provided. One reason is, genre sources can easily be considered an opinion and not fact. Genre's are a touchy subject here on Wikipedia and without discussion/consensus, regardless of your source(s), your addition or removal will most likely be reverted. Your edit has been reverted and archived in the page history for now.

Unsourced genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive.

Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 03:06, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello. Ted Nugent's albums Craveman and Love Grenade are both listed as hard rock and heavy metal on Wikipedia. So he should not just be pigeonholed to the hard rock genre. T Yorke (talk) 04:12, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, the problem is I'm not sure if your source is considered reliable, The way to settle this is mentioned in the template I left above, please discuss on the talk page of the articles and see what the regular page watchers think, if the source is reliable then your changes will stay, simple. Thanx, - FlightTime (open channel) 13:00, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

As I stated above, that information is listed on two other Wikipedia pages of his albums. You should revert those pages too if that information isn't accurate. I'm not interested in changing anything further or having a discussion on the talk page. Thanks. T Yorke (talk) 21:24, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

OK, why didn't you mention that in your edit summary? We prolly wouldnt be here if you did. - FlightTime (open channel) 23:45, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

October 2024

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
