Hi Carlinal. I totally agree with your view here on classic band's & albums. With that in mind, any interesting in helping out at the Sex Pistols FAR - main issue is that the wording is too fan-ish and excitable. Ceoil ( talk) 17:24, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Hey @ Carlinal, when I first started doing this, I thought it would be fun to make or add something on the page I thought would kinda make sense after messing around with the inspect element on different pages for like a year, and tried to make that one page I did look as professionally like any other page. When all of them were changed and I got a message from Binksternet about it, I just felt embarrassed and decided to stop for a while, I wasn't trying to intentionally poorly edit any of the page and then just quit out of anger because of the change, I understood why and just decided to just put it on hold for a while.

Hey @ Jauerback! I wanted to ask you if you're aware of a notice glitch that appears whenever someone edits articles, as in there's always one notice added. It's been appearing on both platforms I use Wikipedia with so I speculate it has something to do with more general coding. Are there any news/updates about this? Carlinal ( talk) 08:09, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for your improvements to various Beach Boys articles. On Smile I just tried to add a remark from Van Dyke about how he was displeased with the "abstract" direction Brian was going in by early 1967, which is something I'd never heard straight from the horse's mouth before, and seemed to clarify the adjacent secondary source about "the music not being sophisticated enough", which I'd always wondered about. Then my edit was reverted by another editor for being "unneeded". I don't want to get blocked or start a debate with them over something so minor, so if you feel that that was a detail worth adding, then please restore it. Thanks. 2601:192:8802:6FA0:455A:8ADC:7B:606F ( talk) 00:50, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
I'm quite relieved that RockabillyRaccoon is permanently blocked today. Looking at the reasoning it's because their edits as a genre warrior and behavior in talk pages were very stubborn and abrasive. Once you expand an infobox's genre list to over four it gets cluttered. It should've been obvious. " Alternative" as a label exists probably in part to resolve situations like this, heh. That's not my biggest point of concern, however. Ever since I saw their edits on the images to the album covers of Pet Sounds and Let It Bleed, I realized that damage was already done long before them, and throughout this summer I checked their user contributions page almost every day specifically and only in the hopes to revert similar mistakes, including but not limited to the covers of Ace of Spades, Dirt, and a few Mushroomhead albums. Only image-related edits. It was never personal, I never cared for everything else they did. Just that not all of their images were higher quality replacements. Some were just to get the images 16 pixels smaller. I assume all of these were in good faith, and about 1 in 8 of the uploaded covers in that period were lower quality or unnecessary. Especially when you wouldn't go further than Discogs or Amazon as a source. I should write an essay about this. The YouTube Music page has the highest quality version of the cover to The Joshua Tree.
I'm a little guilty doing all those reverts and replacement edits and such. Even if all our actions are public I was basically stalking. I wonder how I could've done things a little better, and I thought about messaging their talk page, but I was unsure of the best way to word my intentions. I guess considering a certain someone got called a "Mini-Hitler" by Raccoon my efforts would've been for naught regardless. At least I was brought to more obscure articles to improve.

Regarding the recent additions of discography pages to musical group infoboxes, does it only apply to bands or solo artists as well? Also, was it officially decided upon, and if so, is there a link? Thanks. HPSR ( talk) 01:45, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
Hey, Carlinal, I wanted to thank you for helping to add this to music infoboxes! It's such a genius idea that it's funny in retrospect that it wasn't done years ago. I check band articles ALL THE TIME because I want to review or remind myself of some discography bit (release years, which songs were singles, etc.). So helpful to have the link right there.

The page Red Luigi has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hello Carlinal. You reverted my addition of Bruce Hornsby as a member of the Grateful Dead stating ‘It's been proven that Hornsby was never a full-time member…’. As a lifelong fan, I am hoping you can provide a reputable citation supporting this claim. 136.37.147.223 ( talk) 15:28, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
Hello. I've noticed that on several album articles you have removed parameters that are not filled out in the infobox, and called the edits "tweaks". Per Template:Infobox album: "Do not remove fields from this list when the value is unknown; in that case the values should be left blank." There is nothing wrong with having blank parameters in infoboxes like recorded= and studio=, so they don't need to be removed. Wikipedia will never be complete, and having blank parameters that still apply to all albums shows we do not yet have that information to editors. Per WP:ALT, alt= for images should not be removed even if is not filled out, so please do not remove that parameter. Thanks. Ss 112 11:53, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
I recently made an edit on Undertale as you probably know. I got reverted by User:Ferret who said that the old terminology is "better overall and better supported by the narrative", whatever that means. (Yes, I know I did say to revert me if I made an error, but I was referring to my overall small amount of knowledge on the subject due to me never having actually played the game, not to stuff like this.) As I see you thanked me on that edit I invite you to weigh in on the matter if you have anything to say. The discussion is happening on Talk:Undertale. TypoEater ( talk) 19:21, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{ Ctopics/aware}} template. Note: This notification was triggered due to your recent edits to Sweet Baby Inc.
