Hi Binksternet, I've messaged you in response to your revert of my edit removing the controversies section from Diplo's page. You cited that wikipedia should reflect information in it's articles from a neutral point of view. I believe that the current description of Diplo's controversy is both erroneous and biased on its own.
The first false claim is that Diplo uploaded a video to instagram containing a gif created by artist Rebecca Mott without crediting her. This was not the case, although it was falsely reported as such by many online news sites
Diplo initially recorded a 10-second snapchat message filmed with his iPhone of audio from the then-upcoming Missy Elliott remix of his collaborative Jack Ü track『Take Ü There』with Skrillex and Kiesza, accompanied by Mott's gif playing in a continuous loop on his laptop monitor in the background. Many articles then referred to this as an official "preview" and therefore led the Mott to believe that her animated gif artwork had been used as official background art for said track without her consent. When she initially confronted Diplo about this on Twitter, He initially apologized and explained that he had found the gif on a third-party website and had no idea it was copyrighted. As there was no simple way he could have credited her on the snapchat (due to snapchat messages having a very small character limit on the amount of text that can be displayed) at the time that it was sent and furthermore had no knowledge that the gif was created by a professional artist, he decided to rip the video from snapchat and re-upload it to instagram with her properly credited as the artist. Not long after He did this, Diplo continued to be harassed by many users on Twitter, claiming that he "stole" the .gif intentionally and was refusing to give Mott any credit or compensation whatsoever. In a response to one of these accusations, Diplo made a rather rude sexual joke which was later characterized as "sexual harassment" directed towards Mott by many other gossip writers such as those on Gawker. Diplo later apologised on a lengthy "long-tweet" response in which he both explained that the entire situation had been blown out of proportion by gossip news sites and that the initial conflict had been resolved long before many of the articles were written. He explained that his joke was both tongue-in-cheek and that he would have never made such a comment to Mott directly. He also defended himself, claiming that it was also not his responsibility to credit the artist of every artistic work that he films in such brief snapchat messages.
As this proper timeline of events is not very well documented due to many biased and outright false claims made by authors of editorials whom merely copied the reports of others, it led to even further confusion as the snapchat message was later referred to as a "teaser trailer" and even a "performance" by some news sites. Other sites had entries that claimed that the instagram video was in fact the original video, making no mention of snapchat and asserting the claim that Diplo had uploaded it with no intention of crediting Mott. This is an outright fabrication and should not be stated as truth on Diplo's wikipedia entry. However, as it would be difficult to find proper citations of all of these events in order other than the individual tweets and their respective timestamps, I recommend that the "controversies" section added to Diplo's wikipedia entry be removed entirely, as similar petty controversies have emerged in the past without any acknowledgement.
I hope my explanation has shed some light on why I believe that my edit was unbiased rather than being based in and of itself, and that regardless of whether or not the section stays that it should be heavily modified to reflect the proper timeline of events, rather than the false timeline perpetrated by many tabloid and gossip news articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buzzywuzzy (talk • contribs) 04:05, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

I agree that an edit war is bad. This is why I am reasonable and am willing to discuss things. You were BOLD (WP:BOLD) and changed things. It was reverted. A discussion was taken to the talk page. However, you then reverted the revision, starting what looks like an edit war. I recognize I am risk of being blocked, along with you, if you start an edit war
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's 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. See BRD for 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. . However, judging on actions, I think you are at greater risk than me. Mburrell (talk) 04:25, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Look Binky, in the past several months I've been churning through lots of crappy articles and identifying and tagging problems. This is a valuable contribution to the encyclopedia. I don't have the time or inclination to fix all of them. In this case, I have discussed the issue at length with a fellow editor, just in case you didn't notice. The fact that this fellow editor has a serious IDHT problem is not a basis for removing the tag. Your edit warring is unprovoked and inappropriate. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 23:31, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
I know it wasn't the best information but many critics have label that album as the greatest metal record of the 90s. That being said, I hugely think that something based on that should be on it's wikipedia. I saw many top heavy metal albums of the 90s and Rust In Peace is always at number one so I was wondering if I can add that. I don't want to sound like a fanboy or anything because I am not that hugely into Megadeth but I think such a claim like that should be supported and added it into it's wikipedia.( Mikeis1996 (talk) 05:29, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Hey man. I have so much respect for you and getting stuff done right. You were part of this discussion: here. I took a couple hours tonight, going through his contributions list, and "fixing" every timeline to a scheme we agreed upon. 3 hours later, and he's started reverting them back. Using edit comments that have nothing to do with colors so it looks like that's not what he's doing. And making one minor edit somewhere else, then changing all the colors. Was it not clear from the talk that we agreed to use the old scheme? What can we do to stop this?

Hi Bink, I noticed this tool [2] on your userpage a while ago and checked it out using myself and the editor I have co-edited with by far the most frequently. The tool was totally off the mark. I have collaborated on approximately 100 or so articles with Ssilvers, usually within a very few minutes of each other. Not only are only 18 of those articles showing up (and most of the articles that show up are the ones we didn't collaborate on), but also the edit count is way way way off, usually by a factor of 10 or more.
PS: Intersect Contribs is somewhat more accurate, but it doesn't give actual interactions, purported edit counts, or purported minimum time between edits.
I'm just letting you know this because you seem to use that tool in SPIs, and also because you are becoming an SPI clerk. Sincerely, Softlavender (talk) 06:07, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Binksternet,
I concede that it is unnecessary to include actors' names in the plot summaries of these films. However, I stand by the grammatical and punctuation changes I've made. Word choice is subjective, and you can revert those if you'd like, but it is factual that periods and commas belong inside quotation marks. I hope that you include those changes I've made.
Thanks,

Consensus was not reached ever in regards to the edits I was reverting (actually there were more people against the edits when it was brought to NPOV).

Hello there! I wonder if you can help? I am concerned about recent edits to the Chicago house music page by Grassman0 and IP 108.27.48.244 - both are inserting "dub music" as a stylistic origin of the genre, without sources, and I'm uncertain about this. I have contacted user IP 108.27.48.244, who appears to be moving into an "edit war" situation over the matter. I have left a message on the user's Talk Page, with no reply so far. The Chacago House music page currently stands with the unsourced edit. I would be grateful for your intervention/advice.

Hi, Bink - I am not nearly as experienced with Wikipedia editing as you are, so I am hoping you can explain the rationale for removing the identification of Alice Paul as a Quaker. You say she is not famous "as a Quaker." Is that a standard for mentioning a subject's religion? It makes no sense to me. It seems obvious to me that Paul's efforts and achievements as a suffragist reflect her Quaker heritage (descendent of William Penn), education (Swarthmore and in England both), and lifelong connections (she retired to and died in a Quaker residential facility in Connecticut). Her dedication to women's equality reflects Quaker theology and her methods (direct nonviolent action) reflect Quaker practice. Here in the Philadelphia area, where I live, she is certainly known and remembered in that way, including at her home Meeting in Moorestown, NJ. I question your rationale for insisting on deleting this identifier.

Hey, Binks. Listen, I just wanted to know how you felt regarding the earlier discussion which sort of fizzled out. If nothing was set in stone, do you think that it's OK to continually have my edits reverted regarding these colour schemes? OK, so things might have been in favour of a different scheme, but a proper consensus was never really taken away from that discussion. If I've spent the amount of time that I have implementing a scheme onto a handful of pages, and there's nothing saying that I can't continue to do so, surely that can't hurt? I mean, the red scheme in question might be more common, but it's definitely not used all over the site. Would it be wrong if I re-implement the scheme on a few pages? Do you think that it's wrong that whenever I try and do this on a page, it keeps getting reverted? I'd really like to have this scheme on the pages that I had it on before, especially if there's no reason why I can't. Nobody else had a problem with the scheme being on most of these pages for quite a few months. Anyway, I just wanted to know your thoughts, even if your standing is different to mine, because you're someone I know I can trust, and I value your opinion. Thanks – with regards, 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 11:50, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi, I wanted to answer you about the things I changed. First of all, it is not "changes to suit my own point of view", those genres on those artist have a consensus that they are what they are (ie, people know Young Americans have Funk songs in it... As a sound engineer (I am too), I guess you acknowledge that.
Second of all, my sources can be found in Wikipedia itself (iehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bowie#1974.E2.80.9376:_Soul.2C_funk_and_the_Thin_White_Duke the title iteslf said Bowie had a funk era... but it not listened in its records nor in its "genres" in his personal page)
I don't do this because I only see it like that and no one else does it. Everyone knows that and, since it isn't on Wiki and genres are so confusing sometimes I decided to clarify what I can.
Sorry for my english and sorry if this is not the page to answer to your removals.

Sorry to bother you again, but I could really do with the help of an experienced Wikipedian over at the Chicago House page! Do you recall Grassman0 making the assertion that "Dub" is a stylistic origin of Chicago house? Well, an IP address (69.120.194.67) is now making the same assertion, very persistently. I have communicated with this editor (is it Grassman0 in a new guise, I wonder?) but I am unsure of whether or not to simply allow their edit (they have come up with an obscure reference I am unable to check).

Hi Binksternet. There was an edit filter request from Black Kite for an filter related to the Techno genre warrior from Greece. Since BK is currently on a break could you check that the edits the filter caught are indeed this user, and if not how it could be narrowed? The most useful edits to check are since 15 March since I made a change then to avoid some false positives ("techno" already being in the article). Thanks, SamWalton (talk) 17:56, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
Okay, I have checked the log page of your filter, and it shows a ton of positive hits. I see only solid positive hits, not false positives, so no need to further tighten the filter.
The filter allowed some edits by the vandal, including unimportant changes such as upper-to-lower case, but also important changes to the genre:
Those are the results from after 14 March when you tightened the filter. The kind of false positives you got prior to 14 March appear to be useful to me, for instance this 13 March removal of house, hip house, rave, and electronica, swapped for pop, a change that did not involve the addition or removal of the word 'techno'.
Is there any intent to modify the filter to perform an action such as to disallow the attempted edit?
Thank you for your work on the filter. I will continue to monitor the log page to see what it turns up. Binksternet (talk) 19:36, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
Thank you, Samwalton9, for setting the filter to disallow. We still need a filter logging the actions of the same range of IP addresses, actions in which the genre is being changed. I would like to see such a log to determine whether the vandal is active. Today, filter 663 missed a handful of edits by Special:Contributions/79.167.241.40 despite his disruptive genre warring.

I Knew You Were Trouble and Catch My Breath, as you can see there "pop rock" in the infobox and any sections with reference, in which prior review or article texts says "pop rock arrangement". 115.164.93.38 (talk) 07:10, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
I've started this conversation to come to an understanding on Maroon 5 genres and concerning what would be reliable sources to cite genres for them and what they would be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RandomChoiceForMe (talk • contribs) 00:12, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
This probably isn't a reliable source for genre but what specifically is variety.com reliable for? http://variety.com/2014/music/news/maroon-5-tops-u-s-album-chart-with-v-1201302849/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by RandomChoiceForMe (talk • contribs) 01:37, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
The article refers to them as a rock unit, but does the term "rock unit" refer to pop rock or just rock as well? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RandomChoiceForMe (talk • contribs) 13:40, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
I'm just still confused I guess on why the genre has both pop rock and pop on it. It always seemed like Maroon 5 had done different kinds of rock with some R&B, a little funk and more bubblegum/pop in recent years (btw is there a difference between "pop" and "bubblegum" or are they used interchangably?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by RandomChoiceForMe (talk • contribs) 19:05, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:29, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello again! I think the Andrewbf sockpuppet has returned to the house music page. I have intervened, but would be very grateful if you would also keep an eye on developments there.

Hello B. I hope that you are well. I just wanted to alert you to this User talk:Swarm#Note. Have a good week. MarnetteD|Talk 19:34, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
I see you have previously added to the Talk page for this member. I believe he may be the same person as Avenged77 and keeps making unsourced changes to the genre of the "Keep On Loving You (song)" page. Rodericksilly (talk) 13:56, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi Binks – hope you enjoyed your Easter. I've got another situation on my hands, this time at the Furious 7 page. All of this revolves around a single character name and a few edits to the plot and cast. The other user involved is way out of line to threaten me with a block and to tell me to stay away from the page. This is another one of those situations where I'd like to have a second opinion, so could you please help mediate for me, when you get the chance? Thanks – with regards, 4TheWynne(talk)(contribs) 21:00, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello Binksternet, the workshop phase on the American politics 2 arbitration case, which you are listed as a party to, has been extended to 24 April 2015. This is the best opportunity to express your analysis of the evidence presented in this arbitration case.

What is to be done about this guy? He's now started making dumb edits to Thomas Moy, nothing in any way contentious, but deplicating material & clogging up my pellucid prose (ahem) with unnecessary numbers.TheLongTone (talk) 12:20, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
Since I have named you as an affected party, I'm giving you the courtesy of letting you know there is a discussion at ANI regarding edits at Traian Vuia . Flat Out let's discuss it 06:27, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello,
I'll try to keep it as polite as possible.
First, please do your research well before accusing me of "edit warring" and putting a block warning template on the IP page. This is not my IP. I have a provider that changes them constantly. Please check it well, because I live in Canada.
Second, Melbourne bounce is a subgenre of house music since 2014, whether you like it or not. Currently, WP has a page about the dance, which is not directly related to the subgenre, and nothing on the subgenre itself. Please take the time to see other WP projects in other languages, to see how it should be done. Feel free to make proposals here or on the page talk (not in the IP I'm currently associated with).
Sorry, but you really got me upset. 74.116.189.168 (talk) 06:18, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
I notice you manually archive; is there any comprehensible guide to the automatic archive programs?...and how to TURN THEM THE %$^#$$^% OFF!!! (Not that I have strong feelings here, mind you, nope nope nope nope.)
The Streetcars Conspiracy page has a couple of slow conversations that the sigmabot wants to chop into current portions and archived portions; I think there is quite enough re=stating of the same ideas without forcing more of it. Anmccaff (talk) 15:37, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
It seems they are creating a number of accounts like here, waiting the four days, then make ten fast edits to get past the autoconfirmmed status then back to the Gibb articles, do you think we could get the Gibb brothers articles fully protected for a couple months ? that's the only thing I can think of. Mlpearc (open channel) 19:59, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
YAY [12]. Thanks for your help ! Mlpearc (open channel) 21:10, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
Hey there, since you often make music genre-related edits, here's a discussion that might interest you. Some input is welcomed. Kokoro20 (talk) 02:53, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia:No original research/Noticeboard#Hauge Convention synthesis. Since the anon editor in question doesn't seem willing to listen to us I thought it might be constructive to ask for input from outsiders experienced in resolving NOR situations. Thanks. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 18:57, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello and thank you for all your hard work to improve music articles and to report vandalism and disruptive editing. Millions of people enjoy reading Wikipedia and it is regrettable when a small number of individuals, mostly anonymous IP users, attempt to spoil things with long-term abuse and disruptive editing.
As well as deliberate vandalism, there is an issue on a number of song articles with long lists of non-notable and poorly sourced content about cover versions, against the guidelines at WP:SONGCOVER. I appreciate the work that you do to improve things for the vast majority of online readers who want to read notable and well-sourced factual content. Regards, Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 13:02, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Binksternet. The original FAC nominator was blocked, and a summary of this Featured Article will appear on the Main Page soon. I see you were active at the FAR. I had to squeeze the summary down to around 1200 characters; was there anything I left out you'd like to see put back in? Has anyone been keeping up with this article since the FAR? - Dank (push to talk) 02:43, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
Binksternet, I just saw your page, and we grew up next door to each other. After review of your user page, I have a project that I could really use your help with, would you mind e mailing me? WPPilot@Hotmail.com Thank you! --talk→ WPPilot 21:28, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
