I saw what you wrote, and then subsequently erased, on the Nickelback talk page here. All that about "not wanting to fight anyone" and whatnot...is that in regards to something in particular? It seemed strange to see someone write that unprovoked, but I hadn't seen any conflicts you'd been in on that article. Just curious. Sergecross73 msg me 04:21, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
Nickelback's available certified sales suggest that their overall record sales are based not only albums but singles and videos also. Therefore, we are to use a source that claims Records (albums, singles, videos), and not just Albums. I hope this clarifies things for you. Regards.-- Harout72 ( talk) 01:05, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
Refrain from moving artists up/down on the list and reducing their certified sales as you have done in
this edit, that is
disruptive editing. If you have concerns about the figures of the certified sales, make sure you discuss them at the
Talk:List of best-selling music artists. Let me point out that you made three disruptive edits (
1,
2,
3) in less than two hours. If you keep this up, you behavior will be reported to
WP:AN/I.--

Stop your disruptive editing, continuing to edit disruptively could result in
loss of editing privileges. Either open up a discussion at the
Talk:List of best-selling music artists and engage yourself in a proper discussion, or leave the page alone!!!--

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
or
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 they said it. Thank you. --

Please, stay civil, and do not attack other editors. It is not appropriate to call people "blind" or "ignorant" as you did here. Rather than attacking others, explain yourself better, whether it be in your edit summaries, or on the talk/discussion pages of the article. Sergecross73 msg me 05:01, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to
Nickelback, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the
edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been
reverted. Please make use of the

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It seems you've been warned before about your disruptive editing practices and incivility to other editors, such as what you just did on my talk page. As has been clearly stated, your edits are WP:OR and informal commentary of the type which we seek not to have in articles here. Likewise, other edits have ignored references already in place and in other cases tried to rework pages against already established guidelines. Please feel free to follow the already established practices and guidelines. If you continue to edit the way you have been and completely ignore the warnings, you can be brought up as a disruptive editor and face various consquences. -- Marty Goldberg ( talk) 21:14, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
Please do not make unsourced changes, as you did
here. (Especially since there's clearly a hidden reminder that advised you not to make the very edit you chose to make.)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from
Here and Now (Nickelback album). When removing content, please specify a reason in the
edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's
talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the
page history. Take a look at the

Refrain from replacing images of the Top certified artists with those that are NOT. Each section has instructions posted at the top, for images the fourth line reads: Sections are to include maximum of seven images of the top certified artists/bands. Be advised that future similar edits will constitute
disruptive editing and will be handled as such.--

Hi. I reverted a bunch of your edits at Nickelback. You may want to read over WP:LEAD, which deals with writing introductions for article. In general, you're not supposed to add new ideas that aren't covered elsewhere in the article. So, for instance, when you went on about, for instance, "How You Remind Me" being the number one song of the 2000's, and all these other accomplishments it had, but it doesn't say that in the article, it's not appropriate for it to be in the intro. (Also, you wrote quite a bit about that song, which could be a WP:UNDUE weight problem; they're not a one-hit wonder, and it's not the song's article, so it's probably not right to talk about it in the band's intro so much.
So yeah, in general, the intro, or lead, is only supposed to act as a summary of what is covered in more detail later on in the article. (Which, for example, is what I didn't remove your addition about the change in drummers, which is mentioned later in the article.) Thanks! Sergecross73 msg me 18:02, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
Once again, your edits have been removed because you didn't provide any sources, like in edits such as this. You've been warned about this before; add sources to back up new information you introduce to the article. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 13:36, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Whenever you add content to an article, be absolutely sure that it has a source. Otherwise, you force other people to go do the work for you, which is an extremely lazy and annoying way to go about writing articles. C628 ( talk) 02:56, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Drecool1. I see that you're truly trying to improve this article and I think that's great. I'm going to mention a couple of problems, though, with how you're going about it, and how you might (without meaning to) actually be making it less likely that your changes will remain there. One is the whole edit warring thing, which you've probably heard about. When other editors revert something you've done, the next step isn't to revert them right back. (As the policy says, Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.) What you need to be doing is starting a discussion on Talk:Nickelback and trying to gather a consensus for the content you think ought to be added to the article. Reverting other editors right back actually could make them frustrated with you and then they might oppose your additions just out of that frustration.
Another thing I'm going to bring up is this edit you made a few days ago. You seem to have copied that text from another website (possibly this one: http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/nickelback/artist.jhtml). That is not cool. It puts Wikipedia at risk if it is hosting copyrighted material. Let me know if you have questions about that. Thanks, Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 04:19, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi. When you recently edited Nickelback, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page App Store ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

It's is not appropriate to label such edits as "disruptive", like you did here. It's not disruptive at all - as you can see from the link above, I left a detailed edit summary as to why I made the change. Here's even more details on why it needs to be changed:
