Pink Floyd and WP:3RR

Sorry about that the fact the first people you have contact with here are so rude and dismissive. Pls be assured its not the norm. So what can you do ...dont edit the content into the article again..WHY...because there is a bright-line rule called the three-revert rule, the violation of which may lead someone to be blocked from editing to prevent further disruption despite if the edit is good or not. So what can you do!! You did right by bringing it to the talk page before others did (good on you). So its clear those that watch over the page dont like the chart (I dont know why at this point yet). I will come to the talk page and see if I can ask the right questions. If you find that your still not satified after a talk there you can go through the Wikipedia:Requests for comment process (I can help you set that up if you like).-- Moxy (talk) 22:15, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I have noticed that some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to The Smiths, have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. Thank you. Rob van vee 07:23, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Kharkiv07. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Foo Fighters 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. Kharkiv07 (T) 00:33, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Magazine (band), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Doyle. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Slayer, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted.

A cookie for you!

From what I can see, you're helping to restore the status quo on band member timeline graphics. Every now and then we have a vandal come by and think it's easy pickings, I don't know if it's two different people or if one is a sock of the other. Either way, thanks for your help! It's seriously irritating to have to deal with these sorts of edits, but somebody's gotta do it. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist ^{(Speak quickly)} _{(Follow my trail)} 03:28, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Stop reverting on Breaking Benjamin. Please adhere to WP:BRD. You may boldly change something, but if someone reverts you, then you are to wait and discuss, only making the changes if there is consensus to do so. This is especially important when your argument is entirely subjective and opinion based, and you're dealing with a peer-reviewed "Good Article".

Continuing to revert without discussion may lead you to be blocked from editing, so please follow my advice. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 01:42, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Removing content from articles

Hello, if you removing content from Wikipedia articles, you don't cause disorder. You removed constitutional republic from some countries, which wasn't arranged in any way by the editors. You caused mess, because you edited only some articles. Now remove constitutional republic as you intended from all countries articles in the world, or I am going to revert all your edits. Thank you. --ThecentreCZ (talk) 01:12, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The mass change is quite drastic, unless there was a policy change, RfC or infobox discussion, to mass edit every republic's listed government type. It is not the way to remove content consistent with Wiki policies. Rauisuchian (talk) 07:00, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 14:50, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline standards?

While I agree with the rest of the edits, I don't see why you reverted nearly all of my edits to the timeline. I see nowhere on Wikipedia that has a guideline or essay for such stuff (Wikipedia:Timeline standards is about prose), nor do I see why its current state is better or why Joe Hawley was considered to have all his roles during 2010. These colors of yours blend into each other way too much. Aaron Liu (talk) 20:01, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, please respond. Aaron Liu (talk) 11:21, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, sorry. I don’t think your signatures are recognized by any of the talk page tools, that should be why. Aaron Liu (talk) 11:26, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I edited the colors because those are what most timelines use as their colors, ie guitar being green, bass being blue etc.. I wanted to change it because it makes it look weird when it does. As for 2010 Joe, since he didn't leave the band and Shea was only a touring substitute, having him fully marked out for 2010 didn't seem accurate. ICommandeth 06:54, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

The only such article I could find was They Might Be Giants. In that article, the only other instrument the percussion person plays is drums. These colors contrast nicely against each other. In Tally Hall, most vocalists also do percussion, and these colors do NOT play off each other nicely; they blend into each other. Having some colors match tie colors also helps the reader to understand the article in the specific case of Tally Hall.

On Joe and Casey, well he still didn’t play anything which is what the chart implies. I’m also pretty sure Casey did not manage aspects of the touring itself.

Aaron Liu (talk) 11:41, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Changing colors based not on a standard but what you think would contrast for the band isn't really a good reason since it isn't immediately clear, and having it be out of sync with the general informal standard is weird. I did make some of the smaller bars wider so it's easier to see the colors. As for Joe and Casey, the more slim bars for Joe I think imply that he was just in remission, not totally out of the band. Also for the yellow I imagined that implied a touring member in general, not specifically a touring manager. ICommandeth 11:45, 17 October 2023 (UTC) ICommandeth 11:45, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Makes sense. Just to clarify, I meant contrast as in color contrast. (I also don’t think this is a conforming standard due to the OK Go article) Aaron Liu (talk) 11:50, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Custom signature fix needed

Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. Changes to Wikipedia's software have made your current custom signature invalid.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error or obsolete HTML tags.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, you can fix your signature, or you can do nothing.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (Do not click the red "Restore all default settings" button, which will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Click the Learn more button next to the error to learn how to fix the error.
Update your signature to fix the error.
Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.

Solution 3: Do nothing:

In accordance with a recent request for comment, all invalid signatures will be changed to the default, which looks like "Example (talk)", one month from now.

If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:05, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Western Roman Empire

Hey ICommandeth, just wanted to let you know why I reverted your edit: the Western Roman Empire is not easy to categorize as a monarchy due to the disparate power structures and how it presented itself (technically being a republic for much of its imperial history), and the concept of Absolute Monarchy is something of an early modern invention, rarely applied backward to earlier periods. Autocracy has been used as the acceptable catch-all for the Western Roman Empire for this reason. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 01:13, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
