I have noticed regular editing patterns involving two editors within the Coldplay related articles which one person removes and the other reverts content in the lead part of each of the members of that band. It was four years ago that I was discussing Coldplay to you and this case seems to be more serious than the Kent IP addresses problem.
I don't see the continuation of edit warring stopping anytime soon despite both users (Special:Contributions/GustavoCza and Special:Contributions/Unbh) taking discussions to the talk pages, they both continue to edit war after editing the talk space. Also on the admins 3RR noticeboard, which had disappeared into the archive too soon, no-one, apart from Unbh, had even gone into comment on this report I made at the start of the month.
I'm inclined not to edit these articles in the middle of persistent content dispute, therefore I am not involved in 3RR violations myself. Cheers, Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:14, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to let you know that you have warned the wrong IP address in regards to edits on the Danny Trejo page. I have, so far, not made any edits to Wikipedia via IP address (I do have an account which I have not used in several years) and comparing the two IP addresses, I have found that you warned the wrong one.

Hi Binksternet. User:Nwhrmn13 has been adding unsourced genres and personnel information on a lot of different music articles. You can see the warnings on the editor's talk page, all of which are ignored. Here are a few examples of disruptive editing from the last week ([2][3][4][5]. I haven't had to request a block due to this type of behavior before, so I had a read through WP:DRR/ANI, but I found it somewhat difficult to see where one ought to be reporting. I know you're experienced in these matters, so I was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping. Cheers. Tkbrett (✉) 23:04, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

I don't want to start anything but there is a user that keeps removing "record executive" from Bleek's lede and infobox and replacing it with actor. I added it back, leaving actor there as well, under the grounds that since Bleek has a small roster of artist through his music group, it is appropriate. What do you think? I don't want to edit war so if you say let it go, I will. 2600:1702:2A40:3E40:654E:7886:81C5:7E (talk) 19:58, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
I mean, when he's discussed it's usually as a rapper and friend/protege of Jay Z. I've seen a few articles such as the Huffington Post and Time, which label him as such, but he's considered a rapper by most. He's definitely not often referred to as an actor, even though he has "acted" I guess. So, should I edit to remove record executive and actor? 2600:1702:2A40:3E40:654E:7886:81C5:7E (talk) 23:30, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
Okay, well, if that user reverts the current edit, I'll just let it be. I'm sure being called an actor isn't the worse thing that's happened to Bleek, lol, thanks Bink. 2600:1702:2A40:3E40:654E:7886:81C5:7E (talk) 01:47, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Quick question for you. I noticed someone has recently removed brief, sourced info about reissues that I've left on two Oingo Boingo album pages. Can you take a look here and here and let me know if you think the reissue material I had added was unnecessary, or if I should restore it? I'm pretty sure there were ulterior motives behind the removal that extend beyond WP (long story on that), but I'd first like to get your take on whether or not that info belongs here. Thank you!

Hi, thanks for the ping. I've blocked the editor; they're not doing anyone any good on Wikipedia. But the article itself is mostly unsourced promotional garbage.

Harder Than It Looks has digital liner notes for its available singles if you access and add the album to the Apple Music app, so yes, it does. The band members are all credited. Liner notes does not exclusively refer to physical copy—most albums that are available to pre-order have liner notes up on music platforms. Again: MOS:ALBUM states an album does not need explicit citation for credits because it is assumed they are taken from the liner notes. Regardless, that doesn't justify you reverting all my contributions to the article. Be more careful. Thank you. Ss112 16:49, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi there, i would like you to stop adding FH with the so claimed "21 million" sales to the their page, the sources are completely unreliable and do not follow wikipedia's notability rules, the first source states that the group have sold 21M copies only the United States, the second source is a copy of what wikipedia states, and that was the edition which is completely disruptive and misleading, there's still no reliable claming "FH 21M records sold" anywhere, once its proven the opposite, for now there's one reliable source confirming a "33 million" claim so is the one most accurate to add here since it comes from the prestigious TV channel "E!". Cheers and please know that wikipedia editors are here to improve articles, help each other, and to protect pages from vandalism or disruptive edition, i recommend you to stop doing it cause is unclear and misleading information.
The article clearly says "21 million in the United States" so is not accurate to put here, the article needs "Worlwide sales source", plus the second source copied what they saw here, which is fake information anyways, if you want to put the 21 million claim, put it above in the 15 million sales in the USA statement, please find another reliable source to sustain this claim, if you can't then just leave the page how it is, unless if a reliable source confirms FH real sales figure.

I have reverted your revision to include The Damned, as per reasons stated, though I should add that my summary contained one error i.e. that he was continuing to collaborate with as late as 2009, not 2003. To reiterate: if one member in common is insufficient - even when that member is Lemmy - then the entire section should be removed. FrFintonStack (talk) 22:48, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
Recording together 2002 https://www.punknews.org/amp/4953/the-damned-recording-with-lemmy-kilmister-in-2003 Lemmy in The Doomed (first Damned reformation, name changed slightly for legal reasons) 1978/9 https://vivelerock.net/the-doomed/ Article here discusses mutual influence and ongoing friendship https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/should-motorhead-be-considered-a-punk-band/?amp Worth noting that Lemmy’s quote about having more in common with punk bands than Black Sabbath (noted and referenced in the Wikipedia Motörhead article) is specifically about The Damned. The Damned’s New Rose (1976) is almost universally referred as the first UK punk record - without an understanding of the mutual relationship between The Damned snd Motörhead, we lose important context in the history and evolution of British popular music, especially the origins of NEOBHM.FrFintonStack (talk) 23:49, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi, this warning isn't really correct.

Hi buddy, I didn't say that I consider Freddie Mercury to be the 'greatest' frontman, etc. I said what then might be a good truth, which is that many critics might agree with what I wrote, and all you would need to do is find some sources to back up what I said, I'm sure there would be enough, but that's ok never mind.

They're all very valid rankings, of course, but I was talking about critics, not rankings; which are polls, at least the last two. Billboard may be all right, but they are rankings that leave time to be found: even those that place Mercury at number one, that's all right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.41.97.182 (talk) 15:36, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Sorry for the sources, but on Marx Brothers, I agree. A blog is NEVER acceptible and always a lie. On Humor Risk, however, I could not cite a source based on the limited amount of articles on the topic. What I wrote was true, unplagiarised, and completely necessary. But if you feel that adding data is bad, I won’t edit anymore.
OnLion Solser, I am on the fence. On one hand, it is angering due to the exclusive information, but on the other, I agree, it was getting kind of junked up. Thank you.

Why is it not okay to have an artist list in an article about a musical genre?
Then it's not so easy to find examples of the corresponding kind of music and additionally it is a notable issue. For example, How would one know who were classical music composers easily, if there would not be a list which includes for instance Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, etc... It is a part of the knowledge about the genre. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.62.130.57 (talk • contribs)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Eleni Foureira. Alexikoua (talk) 19:46, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Eleni Foureira 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. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 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.

Hi there Binksternet- you don’t believe that many of these California geographical features need disambiguating..Santa Clara Valley, San Fernando Valley, San Francisco Bay (itself, and not the Bay Area), and the like..? I think it’s awfully presumptuous to assume that people worldwide would know all of these places well. In fact, I’d be actually willing to bet that the average person does NOT recognize these specific geographical features, as places in the Southwest US as well as throughout Latin America have these or very similar-sounding names. I believe it would be innocuous and useful simply to disambiguate these geographical features as California entities in the page names. Best, Castncoot (talk) 05:20, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi there, Just wondering why you undid the revision where it said Mimi Webb is English. She is? Scottish and Welsh singers don’t get called “British” on Wikipedia so why does she? She’s English. Thanks COYB01 (talk) 12:34, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Binksternet. Perhaps you could help in these articles on Shakira since her articles, particularly her main one are receiving more traffic after her break up with Gerard Piqué. Shakira Studies and Shakira Wannabe are two articles with particular concerns, and maybe you can noticed it. Have a kind of original research and synthesis involved (mainly the first one).
These two articles were created by a then new user, months ago, and inspired (WP:OTHERSTUFF) in both Madonna Studies and Madonna wannabe respectively. The articles regarding Madonna, we can say are both well-articulated terms in popular literature, fairly enough to have a space and with several sections, as well its own WP:WEIGHT. On the contrary, the Shakira ones, mainly the first one, is a term that doesn't exist (possible WP:HOAX), and she is not recognized topic by mainstream academia as to devote either a whole article. There is just insolated scholarly articles on her; many mainstream public figures have received the attention of one, or more than one piece in a journal article, but aren't an established topic amongst scholars. There exists also in both articles, poorly quality on sources.
I still supporting Scyrme's view that even is not worth merging for a term that doesn't exist (Shakira Studies) and originated by an user; Perhaps dedicate a simple line (prose) about scholarly articles on her in the Bibliography of works on Shakira could be ok instead merging. Take the example of Taylor Swift (impact section, last paragraph). The second one, I also support Richard3120's point of view and personally I could add that fails almost everything of these points presented in the AfD of Madonna wannabe.
Perhaps, you agree. Or not. If you are not either interested or don't have the time, no worries. Naturally I reached out to you, since you are a specialist in music-related articles, vandalism, hoaxes, Wikipedia's guidelines, neutrality etc. Thanks, --Apoxyomenus (talk) 15:40, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Binksternet, just wanted to know your opinion about the user Msftwin95 who's against the new wave genre being placed onto articles to suit his own point of view even though numerous reliable sources are always present.

Hi, I'm a bit confused as to why you wrote You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) had "too many genres" when I added dance-pop to the list.

good afternoon with the respect you deserve, I would like to know exactly why you eliminated some sections such as Shakira tribute artists and bands as well as tribute albums to her, if it is part of her impact as an artist. I also see no reason why you should eliminate the tribute thing, making tributes at festivals and video tributes shows how important an artist is. AlexanderShakifan29 (talk) 14:07, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
It feels good to greet and be greeted, on the page of tribute albums to artists like Madonna they are put by the same bone source "Allmusic" and as a page like that of Shakira is not enough information I decided to summarize it in a small list within its cultural impact.AlexanderShakifan29 (talk) 14:22, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

I've recently seen you post an ANI discussion about an LTA from Mexico who keeps changing release dates, and they were recently blocked, but now I think I've caught another few IP ranges from the Monterrey region evading the block:
They're making the exact same changes as before, which happen to be changing cited release dates to previously uncited dates—quite possibly the ones they saw when they visited the page for the first time. That's just a theory, but the point is that I think they're engaging in block evasion. Can you do something about this? ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 11:56, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
Michael, what are you going on about?
Carl Smith of The OCC states: "Kate boasts the longest-ever gap between Number 1 singles in Official Chart history. With 44 years between her 1978 chart topper Wuthering Heights and 2022’s Running Up That Hill, she beats Tom Jones’s 42-year gap between Green Green Grass of Home and charity single (Barry) Islands in the Stream. See the full list of longest gaps between Number 1 singles here."...see there it is in the article.[1]
James Masterton says: "Kate Bush has also endured the longest ever gap between No.1 hits, topping the British charts for the first time since her debut single Wuthering Heights hit the top in 1978. The previous record holder was Tom Jones, and if we count matters from the very last chart week when the previous hit was top of the charts and the date of the first week the new hit climbed there then he officially had to wait from January 12th 1967 to March 21st 2009 - 42 years, 2 months and 10 days - to top the charts."
Alan Jones of Music Week says: "Running Up That Hill is Bush’s second No.1, arriving more than 44 years after her first - debut single Wuthering Heights - and almost 37 years after its own original No.3 peak. It’s a record gap between No.1 hits by any artist, surpassing the previous record of 42 years held by Tom Jones."[2]
So if the OCC, Alan Jones[3]ofMusic Week and James Masterton (ex-Music Week)[4] have all mentioned this 42 year record relating to Tom Jones being on (Barry) Islands in the Stream recently being broken, maybe it is something of importance that should go next to the information about Tom Moore...as its the same kind of thing, except that one is about age[5] and the other is about gaps between #1 hits.[6] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.154.171.251 (talk) 18:43, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Your recent revert on singers Aaliyah's Wikipedia page literally reverted that page back to when it had multiple problems. For example, that page had multiple un-reliable sources, dead outdated links, and grammar/spelling errors. For over a month, I corrected those things , I removed unreliable sources, by adding sources deemed reliable by Wikipedia, I updated dead links and corrected spelling/grammar issues. I also expanded on and added useful information on certain topics that were mentioned in the article. For a month, I put a lot of time and energy with up-keeping , up-dating and making sure that page was in current tiptop shape. Instead of reverting and removing every edit that I made, The least that you could've done was discuss which information to keep or remove, you literally removed everything. Lastly, the joke is on you because you didn't even analyze the edits, you didn't even bother to make sure that pages previous condition was up to code, instead you reverted it back to when that page had dead links and un-reliable sources in multiple areas.

Hello! I am here to discuss the edit you made about "trimming excessive text" on the wikipedia page So Good (Halsey song). While most of the edit is good, the edit surrounding the heading "release controversy" you have made, I believe, has distorted the situation at hand, given the coverage and attention. while Wikipedia is certainly not a tabloid by any means for covering "gossip", the release controversy did provoke substantial attention/discussion/controversy/coverage which your trimming edit has misshaped/misconstrued.(again, obviously, this is my own perception). In conclusion, I believe the edit is a fatal use of Occam's Razor, but I would still like to confer with you to discuss the rationale. Thank you! Chchcheckit (talk) 16:40, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi! As I made clear in the edit summary, the article is not neutral. There are several theories and conspiracies about the name and date of birth of Carlos Gardel, and in the article one of them is chosen as the most "appropriate". Those who believe that he was born in France affirm that it is confirmed and there is sufficient evidence, the same with the population that believes that he was born in Tacuarembo. To this day, there are still disputes on this issue. [16] So I think the best thing to do is to mention both options at the beginning, as it is in the article in most major languages (spanish, german, portuguese, french, etc). :) --BePlus (talk) 19:38, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

Checked his recent contributions and there are numerous instances of him unnecessarily changing lists in infoboxes, etc. to hlist format, despite warnings from both you and I. He's not the first person I've seen do this, either. Is there a protocol for this? I couldn't find anything in the MOS about using hlists. To my mind, this would constitute unnecessary markup, but maybe I am wrong.

1. Article about lofi hip hop has this in the lede: "Lofi hip hop (also known as chillhop or simply lofi) is a form of downtempo that combines elements of hip hop and chill-out music." Not a form of easy listening music? Give me a break
2. House music revert. I strongly suspect you didn't read at all, because I was forced by you to copypaste most refs from appropriate articles (amapiano, drake's "honestly nevermind"). I mean, I am not against adding refs, but I was lazy cause I linked the articles I wrote about, and they have all the info and refs one would need. In this case, one should put [citation needed]
instead.
Do you listen to house music at all? Because anyone looking closely at it will say that amapiano, BR bass and Drake's album are legitimate additions to that article. I suspect you may be not a listener of house music at all.. But then again, why revert so boldly?

I might've asked you this before, but why do you not report the block-evading IP editors you revert? I'm not suggesting filing a time-consuming SPI every time, but, for example, Sergecross73 has a thread at his talk page for vandalism/open-and-shut block evading cases like this. You could inform him about who this latest 64.40.1.140 IP editor is and he might get to know them if you report them enough. At least if you did report these block evaders, maybe then they would stop editing (temporarily) so they could stop (re-)creating articles, moving content between articles (that you then revert, so then the moved content is on neither the article they moved it from nor the article they moved it to), or restoring the same edits. Constantly reverting them doesn't seem to be stopping them from making the edits. Blocking would at least slow them down. Ss112 05:24, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello Mr. Knowles. So, I am going through a lot of searches about the Queen compositions, taking a lot of information about them, as well as who played each instrument or contributed with vocals. This informations that I had added are in the book "Queen All The Songs: The Story Behind Every Track by Benoît Clerc". It's a book that, as the title says, shows a lot about every Queen song and also about the band. This book is very popular among the fans of the band. I noticed that the Wikipedia page of some albums are lacking information, thus I decided to add it on my own, but as you said, I need to show my references. So, if you think this source is a valid one, I could proceed and make that page more accurate than it is now. IthaloDillon (talk) 13:02, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
Hello, It has come to my attention that you disagree with my change that Needtobreathe should be categorized as a "rock band" instead of a "Christian rock band." While I agree that Christian rock is one of their genres, I disagree that is what their primary label should be. Due to the fact that their music includes several different genres of music, such as "alternative rock," "Christian rock," "indie rock,""southern rock," "country rock," etc., I believe it is most appropriate to only label them generically as a "rock band." Although many sources list that they are a "Christian rock" band, that is incorrect. There are just as many sources that reference how band has made it clear themselves that they do not consider themselves a "Christian rock" band because the majority of their music is secular. There is even a section within the Wiki page that explains this, so it does not make sense for the Wiki page to contradict itself by labeling them as a "Christian rock" band when later on it says that is not what their explicit genre is. While many of their songs have religious influence and are popular among Christian listeners, these songs are still considered secular. Many secular songs in pop culture reference religion but are not labeled as Christian music, including Needtobreathe's music. I and many others would appreciate it if the label would be changed back to just "rock" instead of "Christian rock" band. Joemamabingbong (talk) 15:01, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Hey there. I just wanted some clarification on this edit you keep making.

Do you have any thoughts on how biographies should be ordered? For example, I did some very minor rearranging here to reflect the format I've seen used for just about every biography page here at Wikipedia, only to have my revisions changed back (although not reverted, for some reason). The explanation they gave in the edit history seemed like convoluted word salad to me, so I'm pretty puzzled.—The Keymaster (talk)
You falsely put a warning on my talk page claiming I made multiple reverts when I made one revert. And you also falsely claimed that I was engaging in sock puppetry which you have no evidence of. This IP address was temporarily blocked some time ago and the block has expired and there’s no evidence that it’s the same sock puppet. So these false and damaging accusations from you really work against productive relationships among editors and discourage improvement of Wikipedia.
Now let’s get to the subject matter at hand. Some completely false information about the national electrical code was placed there ((100 bolts and less) and the information is not cited at all. So I removed it. Twice now people for no good reason other than that there was a temporary block on this IP address have reverted it claiming that it was unproductive or sock puppetry. No evidence for these things. What’s happening is people are insisting on keeping incorrect information on Wikipedia with these reverts.

I see you reverted some changes I made to some pop song articles where I added categories for the key signature of the song (as recorded), on the grounds that the key signature isn't a defining characteristic for pop songs as it is for classical compositions.
I noticed however that there do seem to be several pop songs in the equivalent categories on the Spanish Wikipedia: do you think these categorizations also ought to be removed?
Another point: while you justified your reversions on the grounds that the key signature of pop songs "may be changed trivially for performance convenience": wasn't this also the case for March of Ukrainian Nationalists, which you didn't revert? While this song is most commonly sung in F minor, this popular rendition of it seems to me to be in B minor. --GCarty (talk) 12:54, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Can I know what is the reason why you supppress those modifications?:
"Vichy regime, or Vichy government, is the common name of the French State regime (
"To note that France is the only country of Europe to have two governments during WWII, the fight between the government of Free France led by General de Gaulle and the collaborationist regime of Vichy led by Pétain is a crucial point to understand the french History of this period."
"France protected the retreating of English troops, continuing to fight for a month."
"With internal oppositions, the French government began to discuss the possibility of an armistice. Paul Reynaud resigned as prime minister, rather than sign an armistice, and was replaced by Marshal Philippe Pétain, one of main figures of World War I. Shortly thereafter, Pétain signed the Armistice of 22 June 1940. On 10 July, the Third Republic was effectively dissolved as Pétain was granted dictatorial powers by the National Assembly. But in the same time general Charles de Gaulle create the parallele government of Free France."

Hello Binksternet,
I am reaching out to you because I think that you are one of the best editors about rock music. I came across a poor quality article about a successful but not particularly high profile guitarist who has been closely associated with a much more famous musician for about 30 years, and has performed on many of his albums and tours. This guitarist was a friend of my wife in her teenage years and so I would like to improve his Wikipedia biography. He was kind to her at a time when she was being bullied. For the record, I have never met him. The articles about the various albums list him as a guitarist in the personnel sections but there are no references. So, I am asking you what are the best reliable sources for use to verify that a certain musician performed on a certain album, and what are the best sources to get information about "borderline notable" rock musicians. Should I get an online subscription to Rolling Stone, for example? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Cullen328 (talk) 01:42, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
Good evening, I would like to know exactly why you are removing so much content from Shakira's cultural impact page. Doesn't the fact that several artists are called by her name demonstrate her cultural impact? In addition to that, the issue is how she impacted the public and the industry, and that was on the issue of how she became an influence and trend in the public. Thank you AlexanderShakifan29 (talk) 05:12, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
Good evening, regarding being named as "Shakira's successor" or the "new shakira" is a topic that I am not inventing, in the text of the page there are the sources that its title explains as the "next divas of music Hispanic", that demonstrates her cultural impact and how many girls aspire to be her, so much so that there is a reference to an Indian singer who was named "the Shakira of India" due to her similarity of sounds and image. Artists like Michael Jackson or Madonna have artists who are entitled as heirs to them and there are even pages dedicated to that. Shakira is no exception, although to a lesser extent, I would suggest leaving that part on the page. Thanks AlexanderShakifan29 (talk) 06:42, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
Sir,
In article The Unicorn (song), I added in the cover versions part a French adaptation. What I do not understand is that you slashed it without further ado:
1) it's rude;
2) it's unfair;
3) it's counter-productive because this small contribution of mine added a fact to our encylopædia, and you destroyed it.
You boast of 400 000 corrections on Wikipedia, how many of them are as unfair and counter-productive?
I have little hope in your sense of decency since this sort of incident already took place; still, I am going to revert your reversion, maybe this time you will reflect before doing anything – if that is possible to you – and have the decency of writing then some explanatory words.

Hello, I saw you reverted my change to HD-DVD changing obsolete back to discontinued. The sources on that word indicate the format has become obsolete, and the shift back to discontinued was actually caused by a few edits before me, where someone changed it from obsolete to "discontinued, thus obsolete" and someone later did a minor edit to remove the "thus obsolete." If we want to go with discontinued, I think those sources should be removed? Right now its "discontinued" but see these sources that say it is obsolete and that seems confusing. Sorry for any trouble. I can try and track down those edits if that would help? Thanks for all you do for Wikipedia! 2603:8090:0:3D93:E116:D9A:49DC:67E0 (talk) 14:45, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
