Hello, I want to contest the speedy deletion of the Sheridan Coakley biography page. The page was written in neutral language, contained numerous citations and he is a worthy personality for inclusion on Wikipedia as he has had a notable impact on the British design industry from the 1980s onwards. Similar personalities Zeev Aram (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeev_Aram) and Terence Conran (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence_Conran) have pages. As do two of the designers mentioned on the page Matthew Hilton (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Hilton_(designer) and Jasper Morrison (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasper_Morrison) and other designers from the period such as Tom Dixon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Dixon_(industrial_designer). As a point of note, Wikipedia is quite weak on the modern history of the British design industry, and I think further contributions about designers and personalities of the era should be welcomed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DuncanRiches (talk • contribs) 16:31, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Sandstein has closed the User:Barbara (WVS) ANI discussion with a topic ban worded "is topic-banned (WP:TBAN) from medical articles". Following discussion with Sandstein regarding the scope of that topic ban (User_talk:Sandstein#What_the_topic_ban_covers), it is felt that further wording is required. Therefore it is proposed that the wording of the topic ban is amended to read:
"By consensus of the community, Barbara (WVS) (talk · contribs), also editing as Bfpage (talk · contribs), is topic-banned (WP:TBAN) from health and medical topics, including anatomy and sexuality, broadly construed, and is also banned from interacting with Flyer22 (talk · contribs) (WP:IBAN)."

Hi!
Thank you for replying to my edit!(did it from emotions my bad)
I'm very sorry to say, but i cannot find a reliable source about 'gulyás' [see: goulash in english] in any english website. As a native i defintely know what is the dish 'gulyás'. And i can provide you hungarian resources. But apperently coming from a mistake the whole english culture revolves around it being a stew. Not emotionally but realitically(?) this bothers me, i'm sure you can understand it. While there may be versions which are 'thicker' or contain 'less' liquid or even could be eaten with a fork. The original dish is made and functions as a soup. I'd very much like to advance this as at least the Wikipedia article will be more than sort of correct, but i don't have the tools for it.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Sincerly,
alias:Jack Paladin — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.225.199.244 (talk) 23:03, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
Dear@Classicwiki:, I've never heard the goulash being a traditional dish in other countries, let alone thought of it. I was in the wrong thinking it came from Hungary and conquered Europe. But it sort of like a lingue franca is not that linear to be described.I very much apprecite you taking the time and sending me this well-detalied respnose, it enlightened my views over the dish. I have an account but i didn't wanted to mix things after i already made the aforenamed atrocity. Again thank you for your concern and time! Best wishes, Jack Paladin
“unreferenced speculation”? How about at least 6 realible suicide accounts, 2 background accounts, and several books are websites referring to these? If you are seriously interested in unbiased research into this please check the Murdoch website for more information and references. It dispels several myths (such as his dog Rigel and being drunk stories) but also acknowledges it is highly likely an officer shot passengers and himself and at present there is no evidence to eliminate Murdoch from the candidates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.254.234.183 (talk) 06:10, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
Hey Classicwiki! I just wanted to apologize for not noticing your messages and warnings beforehand, and only reading them at a point where it had become too late. I just wanted to thank you nonetheless for trying to reach out to me. It was not my intention to add information that came off as commentary- and I will be more mindful of the rules of editing pages such as this. As I am new to Wikipedia, I had not realized just how strict the rules are, and what potentially breaches the rules. I will make sure to me more careful about my edits in the future. As a person connected to the Hassan family, my intention was only to polish some information- and make some edits before the Google Doodle honoring Nazia's birthday was launched. As no edits can be made at this point, my humble request is for you to change Nazia Hassan's picture to "Nazia Hassan, in her youth.jpg"- which represents, and is more becoming of her. It coincides with her doodle, and is a family favorite that we all hope to employ to represent her on this day of her birthday. I hope you consider this request on behalf of me, and the Hassan family. In case you do, thank you so very much. All the best with everything! Sachaud (talk) 05:40, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi Classicwiki Am afraid the listing is incorrect I am from the family the changes I made should be in chronological order staring from Mirza Ismail's first position in the Kingdom of mysore, then to Jaipur and finally to Hyderabad. In addition you have taken away the name of the Monarch Sawai Man Singh II who appointed him personally and you need to have the Monarchs name there as you do in the other two posts. In addition his name is already mentioned on the page and MAHARAJA is spelt incorrectly Maharajah is wrong
A large postion of this page is incorrect and I will be changing a great deal on it as much is factually inaccurate. I just need to figure how this works though any guidance would be welcome. Thank You — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ggsmi (talk • contribs) 02:36, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

There's a discussion on ANI right now about an editor who had removed that content, which they maintain, and I agree, is a BLP violation. Whether that editor is the one you reverted remains to be seen (I don't think it is), but even if it's a vandal or a troll, it's always worth looking carefully to see if maybe they had a point.

Hi Classicwiki,
I'm just a reader of Wiki and by chance came across LIPIA article in English.
Things that I've removed are false and to explain further will be a very long topic as it includes "madhab" "islam" "politics" and others.
Firstly, none of those which was claimed that I've removed, exist in LIPIA.
We have lecturers from Sudan, Syria, Egypt, Indonesia and others.
Students consist of majority Indonesians and minority from abroad such as China, Philippines, France, Singapore, Britain, Mali, Malaysia, Thailand and other countries.
There are no doctrines being taught but fundamentals of Islamic knowledge. Not to a specific Madhab "School of Thought" or inclination to support a country and others.
The first 2 years were the Arabic Language. The following year, Preparatory for Islamic Jurisprudence and the next 4 years were Islamic Jurisprudence which most people know as Sharia Law.
Secondly, the term Wahabi.
To understand this name-calling theme, you will need to read deeper to understand what is happening within the Muslim community.
Unfortunately, in reality, we have many different sects and each sects promotes their own style of ideology. And unfortunately, most of this sects claims to be part of the correct understanding branch called "Sunni" or "Ahlul Sunnah Wal Jamaah", where in reality, they are going the opposite direction either knowingly or unknowingly.
It could be due to fame, money and others. On the other end, we have the "Shia".
The reason for them (Shia) being labelled as problematic is due to their creed.
Islam are passed down with the correct understanding from the Messenger (Muhammad pbuh) and his companions.
What happens when a group starts cursing the companions of the Prophet and disbelieving in them.
Where will they get their Islamic knowledge from and how could their version (Shia) of Islam be correct when the source itself is doubtful as it came from a broken chain.
We also have the orientalist who tries to disrupt the Muslims (You can google that).
If you were to read up about Islam from non-Islamic universities, they mostly provides an incorrect teachings or promoting some ideology (i.e. Liberalism etc).
We wouldn't want to learn Medicine from an Engineering faculty do we?
To conclude this name-calling theme, it's a misinformation tactic to pull Muslims away from learning correctly.
Unfortunately, many academics have bought into the misinformation and they do not refer back to the senior scholars of Islam for clarifications.
Thirdly, the term Ikhwanul Muslimin.
This group of people have been confirmed by all Muslim countries as terrorist.
They promote the ideology of overtaking those in authority by revolutions.
It is banned in Saudi and almost all Muslim countries except Iran and Qatar.
You can Google "Khawarij".
In conclusion, LIPIA is just like any other institutions but it teaches Muslim to think and not be fed with misinformation.
Unfortunately, humans are complex where they are easily swayed by emotions and fake news and it does affect any students from any institutions.
Wiki is suppose to be like an Encyclopedia and if you do not support false information, kindly do not revert what I have removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.132.28.254 (talk) 01:38, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi, according to my references (including trade publications and online sites), the term “cape figwort” is applied to both the genus Phygelius and to the species P. capensis and P. aequalis. So I thought it more useful for this page to be a disambig page, rsther than a redirect to P. capensis exclusively. Cheers Darorcilmir (talk) 21:30, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

The picture of the two U.S. Navy members (who's name and ranks are mentioned in full -and are completely unnoteworthy, and not mentioned anywhere else on the web) adds absolutely nothing to the article. It does not contribute to a readers' understanding of the article. The paragraph on the U.S. Navy is completely unnecessary, and contributes nothing to a readers' understanding of the concept of "use of force continuum". It reads like a not-so obvious product placement for the U.S. Navy. There is no reason to name-drop the United States Navy in this article -nor to provide the name and ranks of the men in the equally pointless photograph.
It's taken from the Dutch language Wikipedia page — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.60.38.226 (talk) 15:57, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for the revert and leaving the clear edit summary about this so I, and others, could be aware of the problem. There has been at least one vandal who has been making such edits from time to time. I have caught him a few times and others have as well. This time, the flag was identified in Commons as the Lemnos flag, which is why I rolled back my own revert. I was still suspicious and wondered whether the item was planted in Commons by the disruptive editor. If so, it was dated a few years ago, giving it some color of legitimacy. This takes this type of disruptive editing to whole new level and we need to keep alert to the "flag vandal," meaning we may need to check beyond Commons to see if the item is valid. When a user starts changing flags of countries, states, cities or other entities, or inserting new ones, suspicion needs to be raised. Thanks for picking up on this.

All I corrected was the spelling of A. tamari to A. tamarii. Why did you revert the changes? It had no citation to begin with. Here is a source using the correct spelling: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC239590/

Classicwiki, I am responding to your message. Thanks for your review of this.
You stated that I made an un-constructive edit to the Junot Diaz page.
My edit consisted of removing material that had NO citations. When making this edit, I wrote in the edit summary "Citations needed, please" Please check this for yourself.
This is fully consistent with BLP policy which requires CITATIONS for any major factual assertions, and editing protocol which requires a brief, accurate edit summary.
I therefore must ask you...what portion of my edit was "un-constructive?"
However another editor, who makes approx. 200 Huggle edits per day, FAILED to read my edit summary...and then CLAIMED that there was no edit summary. Please send that other editor the polite note which you sent to me...since their edit might be the one that needs it.
Thanks again for your follow-up, and please feel free to respond if you wish. All the best.
Good afternoon - I am new to editing and apologize for misunderstanding the process. I think that you reverted an edit I just entered regarding the Stone Fort Museum on the page for SFASU. I didn't enter a new citation for the text that I updated because I wrote the paper that is cited and the existing text is misleading. The Stone Fort Museum on the campus of Stephen F. Austin State University was built in 1936 and is a Texas State Landmark structure. It is a replica of a stone house built by Antonio Gil Y'Barbo between 1788 and 1791 (not 1779). The existing text states that it was rebuilt but the sentence begins with "Old Stone Fort Museum built in 1779..." This may seem like a quibble, but many visitors to the museum arrive with the incorrect notion that they are about to tour an 18th century structure. It leads to misunderstandings and disappointment. The museum is a gem of the campus built in 1936 as part of the Texas Centennial celebration and as a memorial to a building that was torn down in 1902. It should be celebrated as the Stone Fort Museum built in 1936. Finally, I removed the "Old" in the name because the museum has not used the name "Old Stone Fort Museum" for 30 years. It remains in print and on the web and is very difficult to eliminate. Why eliminate? Because there was an Old Stone Fort. It was not a museum, and was torn down in 1902. In order to interpret the original house while also discussing the current structure, the buildings need to have different names. I appreciate your assistance in updating the information, and I will continue to work towards a better understanding of editing protocol.StoneFortMuseum (talk) 22:21, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

My change to her page was verified through companieshouse.com. I cited it. Further, the prior change, listing an incorrect full name for the actress was 'verified' through a pay site which is no longer in existence. As a fan of the actress, I changed the page and cited companieshous, however, my change was undone.
What was the problem and why is wiki using changes and verification to support pay sites?

I would like to know: Under which objective, legal standard is:
A. Paying for a ticket to an event.
B. Attending said event.
C. Sitting quietly during said event
D. Not engaging the performers in said event in any way, shape or form until they engage you
Considered "targeted harassment." There are countless videos on YouTube that show what really happened at VidCon and Wikipedia's continued insistence on denying objective reality in favor of citing sources that read "Drinking male tears" is intellectual treason. I can only imagine that this is being done for ideological reasons and nothing having to do with the reality of the situation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:101:8202:1B80:D07C:AC20:13AA:F30B (talk) 05:00, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
The user that keeps removing information from that article is the same one who kept changing it to this (diff on the left) before.

Earlier, on the page Unnao dead bodies row, I changed the cause from "Unknown" to "Unknown, but likely multiple", which you then reverted, as you thought its meaning was unclear.
Just so you know, I had been thinking along the lines of "Even though postmortem was not possible, those people could not have all died from the same cause (e.g. natural causes, homicide) or even means (e.g. sepsis, knife wound), since there were over a hundred of them." Hope that clears it up.
P.S.: By the way, I actually made two changes in that edit: the "Causes" one, and the removal of the page from Category:Unidentified people (since the page already was in Category:Unidentified decedents). So in the future, you might want to try something like this Wiktionary edit revert, in which not only were the edits reverted, but the etymologies were also consolidated, although that consolidation, as shown in this later edit, was also a mistake, albeit a minor one. (Disclaimer: I did not make either of those two anonymous edits.) 128.172.245.75 (talk) 17:30, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for checking in on that article. It was heavily promotional before so I had to rewrite it from scratch, coming from the outsider perspective since I don't even subscribe to or read Instagrams except for checking Wikipedia references. If there's stuff that still sounds like peacock, please tag those sentences and I'll try to neutralize that tone. That guy has had a lot of coverage from major news media. As for your question on whether House of Highlights should be a separate article, the answer is no, they are synonymous. He's been the main content creator for that Instagram so the work revolves around him. I think he and Bernstein (the guy who hired him) lead a team of 8-10 people.

WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING? You are reverting without explanation and then threatening to ban me if I don't accept your reversion. Come on, dude! I told you I explain the deletion on the talk page. If you think it's wrong, please justify. Otherwise, wtf are you doing?
I like USING CAPS! IS IT ILLEGAL HERE TO USE CAPS? How long do I need to wait if no one responds?
What? I don't know what you're talking about. I explained the deletion on the talk page and then deleted ONE sentence (I'm not shouting). Then I explained the next deletion, again ONE sentence. So I have no idea what you're talking about. Again: How long do I need to wait if no one replies. Can we say one week and I'm good to go, so Dec. 14?
I am concerned that you have not answered my question: How long do I need to wait to delete the section if no one replies to my talk page comments? Please answer this question. Is it a week a month or what?
Again, what are you talking about. No one except you has asked me to reach a consensus. Regardless, IF no one responds to my comments (I want to put this all in caps, but I won't) how long do I need to wait? I will repeat the question: If no one responds, how long do I need to wait?
Again, if no one responds, how long do I need to wait? Warned about what, dude, give me a break. I blank it so it's clean, weirdo--it's not friendly to be so accusatory. Learn some manners.

Our survey should take about 10-15 minutes of your time. We hope that you will enjoy it and find the questions interesting. All answers will be kept strictly confidential and will be anonymized before the aggregate results are published. Regretfully, we can only accept responses from people who live in the US due to restrictions in our grant-based funding.
As a reward for your participation, we will randomly pick 1 out of every 5 participants and give them $25 worth of goods of their choice from the Wikipedia store (e.g. Wikipedia themed t-shirts). Note that we can only reward you if you are based in the US.

Hello...interestingly, I seem to have just received a notification that a change I made to the Paradox Press page in April of last year was backed out - apparently by you? - saying the change "did not appear constructive".
The change was that I added a title to the list of Paradox Press' published comics, "Remarkable Worlds Of Phineas B. Fuddle", which was missing from the list. How is adding a missing title >not< constructive? It's an omission - the title is clearly published by Paradox and wasn't on the list - and I fixed that.
If you need to see the book, a link with the cover is here: [1]
Thanks

Hi Classicwiki,
I had a message from you about my change in Hungarian language and that it had to be taken down. I do not recall changing any details in that topic. Could you please send me a message showing what I was changing?
Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.166.106.99 (talk) 02:33, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
Hello, Classicwiki. I see that you have edited the Mark Lanier Wikipedia page in the past. Mark is a client of mine and I'd like to improve his article according to the suggestions in the banner at the top of his page. I've left a more detailed message explaining what I'd like to do on his talk page. Can you assist me? Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi Classicwiki, I just wanted to let you know that the Wikiproject for Science Policy has been officially created! It's still a little bare, but with your assistance, I believe that we can make it real nice. I started it based off of the template suggested in the Wikiproject, so any edits are always welcome.

Thanks for creating this disambiguation page! I wanted to leave some feedback for you to hopefully improve your process when writing these in the future. Firstly and most importantly, disambiguation pages are meant to be as concise as possible; they're not there to provide any actual information at all, which is the responsibility of the articles linked in the entries. What that means is no references — bring those over to the actual articles instead. Also, don't include more than one article link, as this might muddle which article is the one actually being disambiguated. I'd highly recommend you take another look at MOS:DAB to familiarize yourself with the conventions if you plan on writing any of these in the future, and feel free to let me know if you have any questions! Also pinging Vanderwaalforces, as they were also involved with this page recently. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:47, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
It is almost certainly a coincidence that arises only because of their common interest but you may wish to be reminded of banned editor TheCurrencyGuy. So far, I don't see the same "fist" in use (very little text contributed yet so not much to go on). But thought I should drop a heads-up although it is probably nothing.

Looks like I spoke to soon. The head scratcher I mentioned earlier has morphed into another oddity in this latest attempt.

You made a mistake on retail apocalypse. Southwest VA and Northeast TN are ALWAYS the first to close the retail stores. I know it, I live in Kingsport, TN. It sucks, I basically have NOTHING in my area. When a store goes bankrupt. Guess what? I'm first in line! If everybody were aware about the loophole called "adult adoption":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_adoption
Then, I would be in a better city with someone else who can actually afford it and still have physical stores. As you are not aware, adult adoption can give you new parents. Unfortunately, I am 26 and I missed my chance.
Why is it my area always comes first? 216.145.66.227 (talk) 21:58, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello @Classicwiki! I noticed that you reverted this edit to the article on Askold and Dir, where the IP user 176.36.226.109 corrected "Kiev" to "Kyiv", and you even left a message on his user talk page labeling the edit as "not contructive". May I ask you why? After all, the Wikipedia article on the city uses Kyiv as the primary spelling, so the edit seems perfectly logical and constructive to me. Sincerely, Nikolaj1905 (talk) 09:50, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
Hey, @Classicwiki! I noticed that you reverted [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commencement_(album)&diff=1218700108&oldid=1218644796 this edit] to the article on Deadsy's debut record Commencement. You later then told me (I was an IP user when I edited the page) it didn't have a reliable source, so let me break it down for you, to understand it well. Craig Riker (The Beast) joined in 1998, later playing the songs, First the title-track "Commencement", "She Likes Big Words" and "Seagulls", "Le Cirque En Rose", "The Key To Gramercy Park", "Winners", "Brand New Love" (sebadoh cover), Tom Sawyer (a cover by Rush), "Mansion World" (i guess). Ashburn Miller (Creature) didn't record anything from Commencement, because he joined in 2002, which was after the recording of Commencement, circa 96-01. However, on some of the tracks off the earlier version of their record (Deadsy/Self-tilted), which evolved from Commencement, Elijah Blue's friend, Jay Gordon played on the tracks, "Flowing Glower," "Future Years," and "Cruella". And Elijah (yes, Elijah, because he split he bass duties with Jay) played bass on "Lake Waramaug", and "The Elements". Linkornizkittie2010 (talk) 18:52, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi, Classicwiki. You informed me about removing a minor change which I had just introduced, concerning the names of Ramon Llull's children. You were asking for references to back my changes, in spite of my having included an explanation after my change, which seemed sufficient. Whoever had included the names in Spanish was wrong and disingenuous, and is the one that should have been asked references to support that. As explained in my comment, which you presumably read, Spanish was not spoken in the Balearic Islands until centuries later.
Ramon Llull was the son of a Catalan married couple from Barcelona. They all spoke Catalan and Ramon works were mostly written in Catalan and Latin. You shouldn't need any reference to prove that, really, as it is all widely known. Still, if you want some references, you can check those already provided by someone else at the end of the edited sentence: references 9 and 10, both in Catalan, which are sure to refer to Domènec and Magdalena Llull by their actual, historical, well documented names. 2804:431:CFFC:6304:5550:102F:27FF:881B (talk) 04:13, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
You seem to have also undone a correction of mine in the introduction, regarding the language used by Ramon Llull. Someone had put there "Balearic Catalan", but that is wrong (and disingenuous again, which I can explain also, if you can afford the time to talk Spanish politics since the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39).
Balearic Catalan is not even a dialect of Catalan. It refers to the various dialects of Catalan, each spoken on a different island. These dialects didn't exist during Ramon Llull's lifetime. Llull was born in 1232, barely 3 years after Mallorca's conquest and colonization (1229). Minorca would only be colonized in 1287, when Llull was in his mid-fifties. Catalan spoken back then in the Balearic Islands was the same that had been just brought to them from eastern Catalonia.
This is all basic stuff for anyone familiar with the Catalan language and/or medieval history of the western Mediterranean. Could you please leave my correction and maybe ask next time, before undoing something you are not knowlegeable in? As a matter of common sense and to save us all precious time? Thank you! Please be aware that other people like me, editing things that need be corrected, won't even notice that their work was just undone. 2804:431:CFFC:6304:5550:102F:27FF:881B (talk) 05:00, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
Classicwiki, I believe there are many more socks, most already blocked, as can be seen by looking at my 'disclaimer' and reading the history of the articles there, e.g. at Gimli we have user:Happydays924, user:Butthaha12345, user:Bootyfart121 (and some IPs too). Each of the other characters has more: it would be good to know if these are all the same people, and whether those addresses can then be permanently blocked from account creation (it might be IP ranges). I don't know a lot about how SPI works but I suspect it's a very narrow check so it may be best to give them all we can. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:05, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

The IP server that was blocked at the same time as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jahor12345 is not connected. Both were editing simultaneously on different articles during the morning of 3rd April 2024. The IP server began with detailed edits about the Egyptian pound, and then around noon, switched over to British currency in the Middle East. Meanwhile, editor Jahor12345 was editing across a wide range of currency topics, mainly reformatting. The editing styles are completely different. The IP server carried out edits at 1204hrs and 1206hrs, while Jahor12345 carried out an edit in the middle of that two minute period at 1205hrs. They couldn't possibly be the same person. 81.134.217.27 (talk) 13:36, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi,
I saw you undid my edit on Martin Nowak’s page.
My edit was to delete factually inaccurate and biased sentences about Nowak’s association with Jeffrey Epstein from the lead.
Factually inaccurate: "...as a punishment for having provided an office, keycard, and passcode, and for allowing Epstein free and unlimited access to the university's campus ten years after his conviction for sex crimes". The Harvard report only mentions a keycard. Nowak was not blamed for "providing an office" as this was known and approved by the university. No passcode is ever discussed. PED was not on university campus. Thus Epstein never had "free and unlimited access to the university campus". There are other inaccuracies, but this is the main one.
Biased: The sentences do not address any source that is favorable to Nowak, presenting a biased POV. In particular, https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2021/4/14/lessig-epstein-at-harvard/ , this source and information contained therein is completely ignored.
In the lead: The association between Nowak and Epstein should be discussed in the body of the article under “controversies”. Not sure why it should be notable enough to be included in the very first sentences of the article, since Nowak is famous for his contributions to science, as evidenced by the fact that he had a Wiki page long long before the Epstein scandal.
I find it troubling that the page is now locked in a state containing inaccurate information and displaying a heavily biased point of view, which clearly violates Wikipedia's Biographies of Living Persons (BLP) policies. I am deeply puzzled by the decision to revert the edit aimed at rectifying significant policy violations, and wish to believe this was an error…. 2A01:E0A:808:6FB0:9050:6959:CFE3:2C60 (talk) 06:32, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
I saw that you have reverted my decision to remove the 'nu metal' genre from the page. This is understandable, but for someone without knowledge of the genre of nu-metal, or the style of music Oneohtrix Point Never makes, having this genre present in the page is highly misleading. Both sources show the genre being named to be a subtle influence to the record, rather than a dominant sound, which even then, showing a lack of non-MIDI electronic guitar sounds, or metal drumming styles, or any metal style vocals, is highly contestable.
rateyourmusic.com is often reliable for genre descriptions, as they are voted on by the music community, and any 'metal' descriptors remain to be seen. 'Industrial' would be a more suitable descriptor for this album. 82.14.105.143 (talk) 21:04, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
