I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question.

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Trina, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. The claims you make must be actually backed up by the source you cite; the sales figures for the albums you listed were not in that article. Additionally, please re-check your figures: If Da Baddest Bitch had sold 1.9 trillion copies ("1,900,000 million"), it would be documented extensively. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 04:07, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Glamorest Life. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 04:39, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Da Baddest Bitch, you may be blocked from editing. The claim of sales of 1.9 trillion is patently false. Do not re-add this figure. —C.Fred (talk) 04:41, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 05:10, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You can't say 1,000,000 million - you can only say 1,000,000 or 1 million, but you may not use both as that means a trillion.Jasper Deng (talk) 05:49, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • The sources you cite also need to say what you claim they say. If you use an EMI press release to claim that Da Baddest Bitch sold 1 million copies and went platinum, the press release needs to say that. Citing a press release that mentions only the label's total sales figures and not the artist's (much less the specific album's) and that says "With one Platinum and two Gold selling albums behind her" is not sufficient—especially when a search of the RIAA database shows that she's earned only a single gold album. —C.Fred (talk) 13:19, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've also replied to the messages that you left at my talk page. —C.Fred (talk) 13:34, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Trina discography. Your edits have been reverted or removed.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in you being blocked from editing.

There are multiple problems with your edits: you're removing maintenance and protection notification templates, you're violating formatting guidelines by excessively using bold type, and—most critically—you keep adding certifications and sales figures that are not borne out by reliable sources.

I strongly suggest you explain, on the talk pages of the respective articles, why the content should stay. Otherwise, you'll likely wind up getting blocked for continuing to violate the verifiability guideline. —C.Fred (talk) 18:18, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Trina. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

  1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
  2. 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 continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Jasper Deng (talk) 19:41, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning; the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Glamorest Life, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

This warning pertains to this edit made to the article, which is consistent with edits you made while logged in and was apparently made by you without logging in. You may not edit without logging in with the intent of avoiding a block. —C.Fred (talk) 19:22, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your name has been mentioned in connection with a sockpuppetry case. Please refer to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Robinlovemusic for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to cases before editing the evidence page. Jasper Deng (talk) 00:22, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sources must back up the claims you're making

[edit]

Please do not add unsourced content, as you did to Trina. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. —C.Fred (talk) 17:43, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for providing a source that supports the 77,000 copy sales figure for Glamorest Life, as you did in this recent edit to Trina. That's exactly what the sourcing guidelines require: a reliable source (which Billboard is) that supports the assertion made in the article text (copies sold). With the figure thus supported, I agree with the addition of the text to the article. Again, thank you, and good job tracking down that source! —C.Fred (talk) 04:54, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Jasper Deng (talk) 04:56, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I remind you again: if you add information to an article, such as sales figures or RIAA certifications, you must back it up with a reliable source. If the added material does not cite a source, or if the cited source does not back up the claim made, it is subject to removal. Given your history, I strongly suggest that you take the contested additions to the talk page (in this case, Talk:Trina discography), as continuing to edit war, even if you don't violate the three-revert rule, will lead to your account being blocked. —C.Fred (talk) 06:44, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Mirroring here my reply to you at my talk page:
Her label claims a platinum and two gold records without stating which albums got which; it's going down the slippery slope of original research to say which album got which. Of course, this is compounded by the RIAA database not having been updated for the award, which is reason to challenge the claim. Both sources are somewhat self-published; however, since her label has something to gain by claiming the awards, most editors will take the label's claim with a grain of salt and put more stock in what RIAA has reported that it's awarded.
That's all the more reason why you should discuss the situation on the relevant articles' talk pages, rather than continue to add the un-/weakly sourced material. —C.Fred (talk) 14:40, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. -- DQ (t) (e) 17:47, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
