Okay: why [1]? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 02:55, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide a reliable source to support your changes. - FlightTime (open channel) 03:02, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Have you read what I wrote above and as edit summary,as well as the article itself? The article's lede states that Rolling Stone listed them 50th on their list of all time artists, and there's an influence/legacy section that supports a very short summation at top, at great length. What I contributed was an exceedingly conservative summation. Finally, a non controversial assessment doesn't require sourcing in the lede. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 03:06, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A message from Vader 911GT3

Hi. I was told my edit was not allowed. I happen to be related to the person I was editing and he helped me craft the words correctly. I simply was unaware of the need to cite everything and don't have citations for each sentence. How do we resolve this? Vader 911GT3 (talk) 23:30, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Vader 911GT3: Please see the COI message I posted on your talk page, it will explain everything. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 23:40, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnuniq: Damn, my fault, I forgot to set the archive pages to the article talk page. this is NOT vandalism, I'd call it a "brain fart" we're human, we make mistakes. Thank you for fixing my error. Happy editing, Cheers - FlightTime (open channel) 04:01, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Vocal Range Axl Rose

Thank you for the message! Axl's range was incorrect and unsourced on the Vocal music page. So I decided to correct and source it. You can google his range yourself, it is common knowledge that it is F1 - Bb6 (5 octaves and 5 semitones). I am a little confused that the source got not accepted. I first tried it with a Daily Mail article, and, then, because it got refused, I decided to use a source that is already used on Wikipedia. So I decided to choose the same source that is used for Mike Patton's vocal range. Edt: Please at least accept the order change that I made. It was pure chaos and I put it in alphabetical order. 193.81.43.55 (talk) 23:43, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'm not saying you're wrong, but where is your third party reliable source that supports your claim (which needs to be with your edit), which is mandatory - FlightTime (open channel) 00:15, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also, nothing in an encyclopedia is Common knowledge - FlightTime (open channel) 00:18, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your answer. Of course, you need to source things. I fully understand that. I just meant that you could see that you can trust the range I put there by checking it. I will look for another link. But I do have one question: Why is the same source okay for Mike Patton but not for Axl Rose?193.81.43.55 (talk) 01:01, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Can you answer me please? Is this some sort of discrimination? 193.81.43.55 (talk) 10:23, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi FlightTime. Just letting you know that I have declined your G6 tags on File:Motor Bike.jpg, File:Motorcycle1.jpg, and File:Plimsoll shoe.jpg, as none of these are eligible for speedy deletion. If you think these should be deleted, then please use PROD or FFD. Thanks, FASTILY 02:26, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Fastily: Yeah, I just saw your changes, sorry. Can you explain why there are not eligible so I don't do this again. Thanx, - FlightTime (open channel) 02:29, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, although it's not much of an explanation: we simply don't have a speedy deletion criterion for orphaned free media files. This has been proposed on several occasions in the past, but failed to gain consensus each time. -FASTILY 02:37, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Fastily: Good enough, thanx. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 02:38, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation

Can you explain this edit? I don't see anything inappropriate in SFDoan127's contributions thus far - more detail in a plot summary than I personally would include, perhaps, but that certainly looks like a good-faith edit, and hardly worth a 'stop being disruptive or else you may be blocked without further notice' warning. DS (talk) 00:55, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Touching base

Hey. Many thanks for reverting those edits to my user page. I've been meaning to send this for a while but never have: We got off to a bad start a long time ago but over the years I think it is safe to say we have moved on from that and have gained (at least from my side) a mutual respect for each others work here. Keep up the good work FlightTime and I look forward to many more years of collaboratively keeping articles in check! All the best. Robvanvee 08:26, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Robvanvee: ABSOLUTELY DITTO! Yeah, I think we're both a little bull headed and yes, we both understand each other now :) You keep up your good work here also, stop by anytime. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 08:32, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Editing

I'm not harassing anyone. What are you talking about? I made an edit provided a source and that editor threatened to not write on his page after the fact he told me to ask any questions I had. He told me to read the guidelines for associated acts I did that and he then flipped it on me telling me not to write on his page. Theres no other way to ask questions. I had no choice but to write on his page. If anything he should get a ban for that. Bryzzo1744 (talk) 08:40, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bryzzo1744: Yes you are. Why are you putting comments on a user page? That's what talk pages are for and you were asked by Robvanvee to not post on his user page and what do you do ? you do it again right afterwards, that's user harassment or maybe it's WP:CIR. Go ahead and keep trolling and you'll most likely be blocked. Good luck. - FlightTime (open channel) 08:46, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It would let me post a message any other Way. He told me t ok ask questions. So I did on his page. That's not harassment Bryzzo1744 (talk) 09:00, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How am I trolling? The rules on here are like a prison I cant make an edit even with a source. That makes no sense. I wont on dudes page because he told me to ask questions. And suddenly its harassment. That doesn't make sense Bryzzo1744 (talk) 09:02, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A message from 96.241.141.38

Well now this is very funny! Who are you to revert my edits? Are you the sole writer of the article on Bob Denver? Do you own rights to his page? Are you the head of the Wikipedia police force? Restore my edits immediately.

There is not a single entry in Denver's Television list that is sourced, so who are you to tell me I have to source anything? Wikipedia is a free, open site where people can contribute facts and information without fear of bullies and censors like you.

If it would make you feel better, you can go to https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Road_Rules:_Islands and look down in the middle of the page and read Episode 7. 96.241.141.38 (talk) 11:25, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. First, this is a collaborative project, no one is in charge and no one owns anything. Second, I checked that article before I reverted your edit and again just now and yes there is an episode 7 and it doesn't say anything about Denver being involved, now if Denver was listed I wouldn't have removed your edit.

A message from David T. Bentworth

I have edited The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour because some of the "facts" there are incorrect. I'm not sure why the corrections have been deleted. The number of 1st run episodes is incorrect (it's 67), the running time of each original episode is 52 minutes, & The Sonny & Cher Show ran for 2 seasons, not just one. I verified my info with TV Guide Magazine (which I have ALL issues showing this), plus have DVDs of full episodes. Please tell me why my confirmed facts are deleted.


@David T. Bentworth: Beacuse you did not provide a source with your changes (see WP:RS). I know you said you verified the information, but our editors and readers need to be able to see your sources also. See WP:V and Help:Referencing for beginners. - FlightTime (open channel) 17:52, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Is TV Guide Magazine not a reliable source? Through the years, I have noticed various info on Wikipedia to be incorrect and, at times, sources used was IMDb.com. I'm not sure who verifies the facts on these websites, but it is frustrating to see incorrect info labeled as correct. I'm not trying to be hard to get along with but do I need to put the weekly dates of each TV Guide with the 67 episodes on it? As far as The Sonny & Cher Show (1976/77), even IMDb.com shows it with 2 seasons & not just the one season that Wikipedia shows as verified, posted information. As a 63 year old, I see so much incorrect info listed as fact on various legit websites about various topics of history of my lifetime in the last 50 years or so. Glad my parents kept so much printed materials of the 1960's/1970's. I'm just trying to enhance & correct some of the mistakes that have been verified as factual. Please don't respond with me having to click & read; just let me know if TV Guide Magazine weekly issues from the 1970's is or is not an acceptable source. If not, then Wikipedia's information of The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour is not completely correct.

HI. Emilio finds it pretty creepy that you've been editing his page these last few years. I am only changing items that are factually inaccurate with sources. Imagine if we had the ability to edit your life's page, but you couldn't??

He has never dated Mimi Rogers. He never starred in Sand. He doesn't even know what football team that is.


He kindly asks you refrain and find a new hobby.

A message from Monxton

Re: Your reversion of my edit on Josh Beech

As per the definitions at Music genre#Traditional and folk music, this artist, described as a singer-songwriter and with no mention of interpreting traditional material does not belong in this genre. I agree there is an inconsistency with the infobox, if so the solution is to remove the inappropriate genre from there too.

A message from ApathyMonger re:The Hobbit Awards

The awards on the Hobbit Accolades page for The Desolation of Smaug attributed to the Central Ohio Film Critics Association are incorrect. The COFCA never nominated the movie for any of those awards. Those are the awards from the Comic Vine 2013 Movie Awards.

Back in 2014, someone tried to delete the Comic Vine 2013 Movie Awards section, but instead only deleted the first column, and the awards were merged with COFCA, which was above them in the table.

COFCA never gave those awards, which is why I deleted those rows from the table. ApathyMonger (talk) 10:16, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A message from 69.254.113.224

"The Perfect Storm" was first released as "A Perfect Storm". I can't find any website confirming this but I distinctly remember being very excited to see the film and hating that they chose "A" instead of "The" for the title. Apparently they eventually changed their minds and agreed with me. This is well-remembered fact, whether I can find proof of it or not.

Hello, I've been editing Gloria Estefan's article in Spanish for a while now. The person https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User:Rodriguito_frocos&action=edit&redlink=1 is committing acts of vandalism in the English and Spanish versions of Gloria Estefan. His quote from the bcc says that he has sold 120 million, but this is against all wikipedia lists of best-selling artists, further considering that Estefan's certified sales are 45.7 million, this person has incurred to treat me badly verbally, among other things. --Editor universal (talk) 02:38, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Editor universal: I checked the reference and they are placing correct information. The reference clearly states 120 million. So why are you hounding this ? If you think they're incorrect, then take it to the talk page, not here - FlightTime (open channel) 02:44, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I also have a reference from the BBC that says that Julio Iglesias has sold 350 million, however, neither on the best-selling artists page nor in his article does it say that, it is so easy to take a reference and believe that this is real.

You're welcome. Btw, you forgot to remove the rename media template from File:Pandora and the Flying Dutchman.jpg.

I just noticed the box at the top of this page: This may mean extended periods between multi-edit actions, such as actioning file move requests and the removal of related templates The blue links are almost invisible against the black background for me. LuckyRename should work faster for you as it utilizes the mw:API to edit pages. (instead of loading complete pages with images and layout it exchanges only the essential information) If your connection fails in the middle of a move: if the file wasn't actually moved, just move it again. If the file was moved but replacement/template removal failed, go to the file page, open LuckyRename, press "Override" and press "Resolve redirects" to complete the move. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 14:37, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A message from Bmc hit

@FlightTime: Hello, The publication Vettimes is the best known Veterinary paper in the UK. Once this publication reports about the laws in the Netherlands on the length of a pugs' snout I believe that this should qualify as sufficient. Any additional information can probably only be found in Dutch research papers. I think the reversal was wrong. Please discuss. PS: my partner is a vet and I will spend this weekend with another 5 vets. I know what I am talking about, not through osmosis, but through discussions on the topic. Also, the German Wikipedia page quotes exactly this without referring to a paper nor to the detail of wanting to see proof of research on the length of the snout of a pug. I hope that this is not an example of collating quantity of edits rather than quality of edits on Wikipedia.

Bmc hit (talk) 13:42, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bmc hit: No matter who they are, you made specific claims about the the length of their muzzle which is not mentioned or supported in the reference you provided. I'll let another (more experienced in this area) editor handle the issue. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 16:01, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@FlightTime: Your reference to a more experienced editor means I should submit it again or will it be taken down by you? I just checked the article in Vettimes and it refers to a traffic light system of head measurement using red, orange and green classifications. I quote from the link I initially provided: "Red applies to dogs with a snout length shorter than a third of the skull, such as the pug, and English and French bulldogs. Breeding with these dogs is prohibited immediately." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmc hit (talkcontribs) 09:51, August 31, 2021 (UTC)

[1] - here is proof that her final onscreen appearance was at WWE Summerslam 2012 on August 19, 2012 - dancing with the other divas for Kevin Rudolf's performance.

[2] - I mentioned WWE had plans to bring her back in early 2013 and the link is a reliable source to the story on this.

[3] - Kelly Kelly did compete against Natalya at houseshows in August 2012. A quick google search; for instance, "Kelly Kelly vs Natalya August 2012" will yield multiple results.

Please do not assume that everybody who makes an edit is wrong. Thanks. Anyways, I'm just bored, so do as you will with this CORRECT information man.

This "proof" needs to go with you change. I did not say your information is incorrect, just not supported by references

Hi FlightTime,

you reverted an edit I did about the song Humming Bird by Seals and Crofts in which I left a link that said Harvey Brooks played bass on the tune. I'm not sure how you missed it but it is the second tune down in an article entitled 'Stories Behind the Songs: Harvey Brooks' at:

www.notreble.com/buzz/2019/04/18/stories-behind-the-songs-harvey-brooks

This from the article:

What was this session like? Louie Shelton flew me in from Woodstock NY at the request of Dash and Jimmy. I had recorded with them on their “Down Home” album so we had a natural comfort zone. I was the only East Coast guy in a room full of the West Coast’s top studio musicians. Very professional and satisfying session. Seals and Crofts are great band leaders and made it easy to play.

Hi! I saw that you have a pic of a dog named Buddy on your page and he is so cute! Has he trusted you enough yet that you can get close to him and give him lots of pets? ― Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#0001 18:52, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

Hi FlightTime. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when using rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! -- LuK3 (Talk) 19:38, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Cohen is both a convicted felon and a disbarred lawyer. Both are well-known facts about him. What is there to dispute? 71.62.20.24 (talk) 01:23, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

71.62.20.24 What's missing? the opinion of other editors, consensus of inclusion, source to be used, where in the article it should be placed and that's just how we do things here. If you have trouble working with others' or following guidelines, rules...etc., then maybe Wikipedia is not for you. - FlightTime (open channel) 01:30, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Don't be condescending. The two most well-known facts about Michael Cohen are that he is a disbarred lawyer and a convicted felon. Stating in the lead sentence that he is disbarred without also stating the predicate for his disbarment--i.e., that he was convicted of a violation of federal law--is a conspicuous omission. His conviction is mentioned later in the lede; this would only be curing the omission of an informative predicate to his disbarment. 2601:5C2:300:9270:5C6D:1CE8:8A:1A5A (talk) 01:38, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You reverted the fix and you are not communicating why. I think the proper conveyance of relevant information ought to include that the reason he was disbarred--namely, that he is a convicted felon, which is, again, one of the two things most notable about Michael Cohen. 2601:5C2:300:9270:5C6D:1CE8:8A:1A5A (talk) 01:44, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kid Rock

Kid Rock plays multiple instruments and DJs, so adding musician and DJ to occupations; sentence in lead on post-2007 genres is misleading; "he started his career as a rapper and DJ" is repetitive in the lead (and to be more accurate, he started his career as a DJ, then started rapping); in infobox genres section, "rap rock" is listed when he performed several other different genres of rock (hard rock, southern rock, country rock, heartland rock, rock and roll), not just rap rock. RockabillyRaccoon (talk) 01:46, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A message from 146.199.143.243

With respect; my edit about Cheap Trick was not my point of view, as you put it, it was based on the fact that Bun E Carlos was listed on that page as a "current member" and not in the "past members" section.

This is his entry on that page

Bun E. Carlos – drums, occasional backing vocals (1973–present)

As far as I am concerned those two things indicate that he continued to be a member after 2010, where his timeline ends and still is. His own Wikipedia entry has quotes relating to a 2013 lawsuit where a band member described him as part of the band but not a touring member.

So with respect I was not forcing any point of view on anyone, I was correcting what looked like a mistake with the initial creation or an edit of the timeline.

Notice

The file File:Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman).ogg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Exceeds 10% of the song's length as required by MOS:SAMPLE/WP:NFC#Audio clips. May be fixable in order to comply with WP:NFCC#3b. However, even then, sample may be still insufficiently supported by critical commentary and may fail WP:NFCC#8.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

FlightTime categories

Hello, FlightTime,

I know you saw the recent CFD about categories created under your name. The categories have been deleted but still appear on User:FlightTime Phone/huggle.css and User:FlightTime Phone/huggle3.css. According to WP:REDNO, red link categories either have to be removed from a page where they appear or be created. Since we can't create them, due to the CFD decision, they must be removed. But, apparently, other editors can not edit another editor's css pages. So, could you log on as FlightTime Phone and remove Category:FlightTime's custom user scripts from these pages? That would be very helpful. Thank you in advance. Liz Read! Talk! 23:46, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A message from Alexis Jazz

I personally hadn't moved File:Grizzlys Catalans logo (face).png because c:File:Grizzlys Catalans logo.png is certain to get deleted once c:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Grizzlys Catalans logo.png gets handled. (frankly in this particular case ShakespeareFan00 could have just tagged it copyvio, it's another one of those damn crosswiki uploads) I just wanted to make you aware that that deletion request now doesn't make sense anymore because the link to the non-free image just shows the Commons image on Wikipedia after the move. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 15:37, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Got it. thanx, - FlightTime (open channel) 20:59, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear it wasn't wrong to move it, but (as the deletion is unlikely to be disputed) probably not entirely necessary. Files that shadow another file prevent us from using the Commons file that is being shadowed, in this case the shadowed file is a copyvio which we shouldn't use anyway. My only real concern is that the deletion request could get confused or even rejected because the rationale now just links to the nominated image instead of the non-free image on WP. But that's Commons' problem I suppose. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 21:09, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/2409:4073:209:81B1:4584:2287:8913:426C deleted

Hi FlightTime, I deleted Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/2409:4073:209:81B1:4584:2287:8913:426C. Dynamic IPs being dynamic IPs isn't abusive. New accounts editing with dynamic IPs in that region of the world and forgetting to log in isn't abusive. Multiple people from the same country where English isn't the primary native language posting similar requests about a popular sports figure isn't abusive. We also don't have SPIs named after dynamic IPs. Basically, the page didn't meet any of the criteria for filing an SPI, so I went ahead and deleted it which is what I normally do for SPIs like this where the abuse alleged is a bunch of dynamic IPs and a new account or two.

A message from Pathsys

Pathsys (talk) 19:37, 10 December 2021 (UTC) I noticed that you reverted my edit on Can't Buy Me Love for not being properly cited. The edit was pretty meaningless, it was just switching an implied singular expression "a" to "two" scenes that the song was in the movie. This is factually correct — the A Hard Day's Night page lists the song twice on its page, once (which is the aforementioned first scene) and a reprise played towards the end of the movie.[reply]

Hey there FlightTime. FYI, I've seen you dealing with them some. (I'm sure you know who I mean - the one that adds gibberish and nonsense to Nickelback, Florida Georgia Line, etc articles. Feel free to report them to me and I'll block them every time.

The genre change

Sorry I didnt see the first discussion, I will stop, though I do recommend it being changed to nu metal for numerous reasons but that is your choice and I'm sorry for making it seem that I'm just changing it for no reason - CallMeGrunt CallMeGrunt (talk) 05:24, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki-stalking?

Please stop following and reverting my edits without explanation. First you reverted this one [3] with zero explanation and despite the fact that the edit was cited. Then you reverted this one [4] which appears to be the first edit you've ever made to the article. Surely you have better things to do. Thanks. 47.54.26.28 (talk) 03:12, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And your explanation(s) here and here are just as helpful. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 03:22, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but I'm not the one reverting people without reason. 47.54.26.28 (talk) 03:29, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, Wiki-stalking? We call it a watchlist - FlightTime (open channel) 03:22, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It was the first edit you've ever made to that particular article, so yes... Wiki-stalking. 47.54.26.28 (talk) 03:29, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for my edit on Robert Durst

I thought I was reverting the "three months" edit myself. I definitely agree with you. My mistake. Moncrief (talk) 20:58, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

Hey - maybe I'm missing something, but 109.156.7.139 looks like a constructive contributor to me? This one might disagree with, but the cited source mentions the 'three amigos' era, so it's not ridiculous. This is an obvious improvement, as is this (which is correcting a typo - Marquee is correct). I stopped looking at that point - maybe check a bit more carefully, IPs are human too and all that. Cheers Girth Summit (blether) 17:05, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Girth Summit: Good catch, apparently I was on the wrong user talk page, the IP I was refring to has been blocked. Thanks for the poke. - FlightTime (open channel) 17:13, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ah - that makes more sense. Yes, combining scripts with having the wrong tab open can be a recipe for disaster - I merged two entirely unconnected SPIs - both with long, complicated archives - earlier in the week in much the same way.

A message from Nativeoftwostates

Hello! I cannot recall what change I made to the Don Knotts page. If you can advise--or tell me how to find out what I did--I will see if I can provide adequate citations. (Do know, however, that I would not just make something up and state it as a fact. If I didn't know it to be a fact, I would preface it with something like "There are some that believe...." Make sense? In any case, if you'll let me know, I will try to either fix it or let it stand as you have corrected it. THANK YOU! Nativeoftwostates (talk) 01:35, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Nativeoftwostates: This is the edit I reverted, you added a date and no reference to support the validity of your change. Please be aware I never thought you would "make something up", I belive it's most likely true, but all changes need to be sourced. - FlightTime (open channel) 01:42, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have replaced you change as the date is referenced in the Infobox. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 01:45, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AIV

You didn't notice this yet, right? I was reported to AIV once and it didn't ping me. The situation is resolved, false positive of course. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:02, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A message from ContentEditman

Hey,

I saw your edit at MeatLoaf. I almost removed it as it did nto sound right. But seems it is what she said. It may be in the referance thats there but paywall blocked me. https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/01/24/meat-loafs-song-played-at-anti-mandate-rally-in-washington-d-c-as-his-death-becomes-politicized/

“We are not sick, but we have too many friends and family testing positive right now, positive but doing OK,” she wrote. “Thank their respect for science that they’re all vaxxed, otherwise they’d be way worse.” ContentEditman (talk) 17:58, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@ContentEditman: What ? - FlightTime (open channel) 20:50, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You reverted an edit at Meat Loaf as unsourced. I also thought it was a vandal at first but looked up the quote added. If you look at the link above it seems it was accurate and sourced. Just the reference to it on the page is behind a paywall. ContentEditman (talk) 21:39, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A message from Kermitisawesome

User:FlightTime I am sorry for not explaining why. I am new to wikipedia, but am a very active FANDOM editor. But anyway, on the first sentence where it marks him as OC, there are 2 references, and one is his biography, and the one i removed was something that i think was detailing Alex Lifeson's arrest, but could not be completely sure, as it led to a 404 message. it was not used anywhere else in the article, so it seemed best to remove as it served minimal purpose. sincerely, Kermitisawesome (also the level of competence here is insane lol) Kermitisawesome (talk) 01:35, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Kermitisawesome: Welcome to Wikipedia! The best way to address your concerns with that would be, start a discussion on the article talk page and get some input from editors who regularly watch that page and always describe your rational in your edit, doesn't have to be a book, but at least some hint as to why you made it. Hope this helps. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 03:47, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A goat for you!

thanks for your help. we have very similar musical tastes. (and i may or may not be the only kid in my middle school who took the time to read Lord Of The Rings)

Your deletion of Debbie Harry edit

Hi, I'm puzzled by your claim that podcasts are not reliable sources. The podcast I reference in the Debbie Harry entry includes an original interview with Mike Stock, who was the producer of the single version of "In Love With Love". The information I cited is directly from his mouth. He can be heard recounting this cited information in the podcast, in his own voice. And might I also add, this information is in no way contested or even controversial. Please revert your deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CriticalWeightRange (talkcontribs) 08:17, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
