Hi -
Looks like you're doing good work here, but you could help out other editors if you used edit summaries regularly. When you don't, you pretty much force other editors to actually look at the details of your edit. (For details, see Help:Edit summary.)
Thanks. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 20:07, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey DiverseMentality, I notice that you have been undoing the changes I've made to the article. Well according to that interview on Much Music, Fabolous spotted Rihanna, and gave her an audition with Jay-Z. Ne-Yo was also a hidden recording artist, so Fabolous got to expose him by signing him to Def Jam (yes he signed Ne-Yo). But for T-Pain, I'm not sure, but on that interview, he said he signed T-Pain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sizzlez bboy ( talk • contribs) 13:32, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey DiverseMentality, thanks for removing the trivia section. In order not to discourage contributors and prevent the section from being re-added, may I suggest you use summary lines like "removed [[WP:Trivia]] section", so people who don't understand why you're doing this can look it up? No offense here, obviously, just a suggestion. :-) -- Ddxc ( talk) 07:11, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey on the discipine article, on the charting table, for the first week sales in America, can you make it into 1 big box. As the album has charted on 2 US charts 181,000 is seen twice , it only needs 1 figure. Im not great with tables. Realist2 ( talk) 18:07, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Please see edit history. This user has been vandalizing the same page for nearly two years and recently I've been the only one intervening. If I have to spend my time continually undoing malicious edits then I'm more than entitled to speak my opinion of that person. Please lock the page. Boston2austin ( talk) 03:24, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for putting in the page protection notice. I was unaware of that section of the site and will use it next time. On a side note I love wikipedia and if someone devotes their time to destroying something I love, I have every reason to let them know how I feel. They are not an "editor" they are a destroyer and thats an important distinction between someone who makes an occasional bad faith edit and someone who has an addiction to manipulating content on this site. But thats my personal opinion. Boston2austin ( talk) 05:45, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't know what to do, and you stopped this user the most recently, so I figured I'd defer to you... he really really messed up Bow Wow and I really have no idea how to revert properly (I mean, what, is it "press edit on the right version and save"? Cause it seems most of the time there's a template for the commit messages and I'm sure that I'll break it unless I really know how to do it...)

Hi! I recently saw you proposed the deletion of No Matter What (T.I. song) on the basis of it is a leaked track from T.I.'s upcoming album and not announced as a single. I initially mainly agreed with you, though I proposed a merge. However, it turns out it is a single, as it was released on iTunes as a single, and there is a citation for this in the article too [2]. On the basis of this, I'd like you to reconsider or simply express your opinion on the deletion log. Thanks! -- Do you know me? ...then SHUT UP!!! Sarcasm is beauty 15:34, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

The album is unreleased. So no matter what citation you use, there is no way to prove the accuracy since Ne-Yo can just change his mind and not include a certain track. All I know is these tracks have leaked since the release of his last album. Which means they will most likely be on his new album.

You have removed Orange Karma's album review from Ne-Yo's "Year Of The Gentleman" page twice now. Your first removal contained the edit summary "(Remove non-notable review)" but failed to cite a reason why the review did not meet your notability standards. I thought there might have been some vandalism on the page and that you might have removed the review in error when fixing the vandalism so I put it back in. You removed it again, this time under the guise that you were adding reviews as your edit summary read "(Add reviews)". Your edit summaries need to contain accurate information regarding your edit and if you are citing a Wikipedia standard, such as notability, you need to reference it. For example, you referenced WP:ALBUMS#Released on an edit summary in one of your later edits. Apply this criteria to Orange Karma. Do they have a paid editorial staff of music journalists? Yes. Is the site a personal blog? No. Are they independent of the artist, record company? Yes. And that brings me to the heart of my argument, that you are not only skewing Wiki's standard of notability, but you are discrediting a neutral, independent view in favor of more prejudicial views. Orange Karma is a wholly independent, unaffiliated music media company. Virgin Media's review stays, despite the fact that they own a major record company who competes with Ne-Yo's record company, thus calling into question the neutrality of their review. I have readded Orange Karma because they are an important source of neutrality in the world of music reviews and they provide fair and balanced reviews. They also dont seem to be concerned with writing reviews to capitalize on the media swarm that surrounds the larger reviews. All of these media companies that are currently listed only review major releases because they need to sell papers or online advertising or they are feeding some other commercial purpose. I cant find a single advertisement or any commercial purpose whatsover anywhere on Orange Karma's review site or on their homepage, which is another glaring indicator of neutrality. I would really like to hear your thoughts and opinions on the matter because I notice you are an independent musician as well. However, I think your removals were a bit ill-advised and I think the end result deprives our community of a neutral and notable source of music reviews. Thank you.

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis have co-written and produced songs and sung back-up vocals for Janet Jackson, but they are not associated acts. There has never been a group called Janet/Jam/Lewis, they've just had a long term-collaboration. Aaliyah, Missy and Timberland may have done several collaborations, but they've never marketed themselves as a musical group- Aaliyah has always simply been "Aaliyah".

Hello, apologies, the user who posted about the section being posted by an IP seemed to be accusing me of using another person's ID. I thought this unfair on me and the other user, so removed it. Have left it alone since. Unfortunately the user who posted the comment keeps making edits to the Katharine Isabelle page, removing a particular section which all other editors appear to find acceptable, a good number are admins and heavy users who must know what is acceptable and what is not. As that shows consensus, which is what we are supposed to work to, isn't it? So I have reverted his edit several times with an explanation, and I think he is angry with me. A single editor shouldn't be allowed to dictate how a page should appear, should they? At the end of the day we are told to Ignore All The Rules, anyway, so as he is alone I feel justified in reverting to the appearance the majority find acceptable 81.102.115.191 ( talk) 21:01, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Apparently there is a limit on how many "style changes" are tolerated in this world, even if one's style changes corrected ambiguity left by someone else's edits. They may be reverted and the ambiguity returned, left unaddressed by the reverter. By the way, although I can't find it right now, I'm fairly certain there's a guideline that directs one to use more than one column in ref sections once the number of refs exceeds a certain amount.

What is it going to take to convince you to stop objecting to putting that rap person you are obsessed by undeer his real name and mae the article Nelly properly cover the name and its uses in general? As it stands I would be wastingmy time moving it because I know you'd just go in there and revert ir. You are apparently very proud of undoing vandalism, but I consider that sort of thing vandalism. You are imposing a narrow teenage pop culture perspective on the whole world by not agreeing to the change I calleed for.

Hi,
you had sent me a message about recent edit of Brian Maloney, I had flagged that article for deletion for not being notable, but the tag was removed. Maybe you could help me properly place that if you have the time? I saw you're a big music guy, that's awesome, I spend almost all my time trying to listen to new music too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thebiggcheez ( talk • contribs) 05:29, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Dear DiverseMentality,
Please reconsider the Speedy Deletion tag on The Vine Band article. I was a little slow in adding content/references.
Thanks! General Chan —Preceding unsigned comment added by GeneralChan ( talk • contribs) 08:53, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
I received your message about my entry [7]. When are you allowed to include an external link on a wikipedia page? I placed an external link to a page where people can watch the music video of the song. Can you explain what's wrong with that- and if there is something wrong with that, question: What's the appropriate way to edit a Wikipedia page linking to video content?
What chart information are you talking about? The WP:CHARTS applies to information regarding chart placements, which i posted nothing of sort. So could you not pollute my talk page with accusations of vandalism, unnecessary information. again you are giving me information regarding the info box. I agree, the info box should be not have useless information. But at no stage in a template of a music single page does it say discourage the use of release date history. I've been doing edits for a number of music pages for a long time, so I'm quite familar how things work here. Getluv ( talk) 10:34, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I've just noticed you nominated Category:Number-one singles in Bulgaria for deletion, as well as other three categories, which includes Category:Number-one singles in Chile. I believe this one could stay because Chile does have a (seemingly) official chart, the Chile Top 100 (not Hot 100). I also think Category:Number-one singles in Croatia should be nominated as well, as the Croatian chart is hosted by a blog. Funk Junkie ( talk) 17:22, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed you've been keeping a fairly close eye on the article. I wanted to raise an issue that will come up with a great many of the recent references added since the murders of her family. I note there are a lot of references from ap.google and yahoo news. These will deprecate from those websites in a fairly short period of time, leaving a lot of dead links.

Your reversion on 9/9/08 of the edit of page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_Don%27t_Go is in error.
You should either add a disambigulation page, or cross-link between the Sonny & Cher version and the Fabulous version.
Replacing the page for the Sonny & Cher version with info on the Fabulous version means that you've corrupted existing hyperlinks, and caused more problems than you realize.

1)That is incorrect. Everything doesnt need to be sources. What IS wiki policy is to not discourage editing.
2) Im watching a bio on Keyshia Cole. It said her birth name. KC herself said it in many interviews with
Essence (magazine),
Tom Joyner Morning Show, & on her BET show

3) KC's birthname was here already. Some1 removed it.

I searched Google for the interview but Essence seems to have removed it as all sites that link to the interview redirect to Essence's homepage. If you have a working link, or event the magazine, either post the link or cite the page number; this would help a lot. Also, please answer to my discussion here please, I like to keep discussions unfragmented. Thank you. Diverse Mentality 22:29, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
I googled & I see it. Its the Oct 7 Essence mag. Additionally this has been said in numerous tv specials on her, in her radio interviews, & on her BET show. & again this info was already in this article; as was info on her bio Italian dad Sal; her 8 brother sisters, & more. Why did you chop up this article? (if it was you). The discussion is here unfragmented. Thank You. 70.108.91.250 ( talk) 22:51, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Hey DiverseMentality, I notice that you have been undoing the changes I've made to the article. Well according to that interview on Much Music, Fabolous spotted Rihanna, and gave her an audition with Jay-Z. Ne-Yo was also a hidden recording artist, so Fabolous got to expose him by signing him to Def Jam (yes he signed Ne-Yo). But for T-Pain, I'm not sure, but on that interview, he said he signed T-Pain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sizzlez bboy ( talk • contribs) 13:32, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

You have removed Orange Karma's album review from Ne-Yo's "Year Of The Gentleman" page twice now. Your first removal contained the edit summary "(Remove non-notable review)" but failed to cite a reason why the review did not meet your notability standards. I thought there might have been some vandalism on the page and that you might have removed the review in error when fixing the vandalism so I put it back in. You removed it again, this time under the guise that you were adding reviews as your edit summary read "(Add reviews)". Your edit summaries need to contain accurate information regarding your edit and if you are citing a Wikipedia standard, such as notability, you need to reference it. For example, you referenced WP:ALBUMS#Released on an edit summary in one of your later edits. Apply this criteria to Orange Karma. Do they have a paid editorial staff of music journalists? Yes. Is the site a personal blog? No. Are they independent of the artist, record company? Yes. And that brings me to the heart of my argument, that you are not only skewing Wiki's standard of notability, but you are discrediting a neutral, independent view in favor of more prejudicial views. Orange Karma is a wholly independent, unaffiliated music media company. Virgin Media's review stays, despite the fact that they own a major record company who competes with Ne-Yo's record company, thus calling into question the neutrality of their review. I have readded Orange Karma because they are an important source of neutrality in the world of music reviews and they provide fair and balanced reviews. They also dont seem to be concerned with writing reviews to capitalize on the media swarm that surrounds the larger reviews. All of these media companies that are currently listed only review major releases because they need to sell papers or online advertising or they are feeding some other commercial purpose. I cant find a single advertisement or any commercial purpose whatsover anywhere on Orange Karma's review site or on their homepage, which is another glaring indicator of neutrality. I would really like to hear your thoughts and opinions on the matter because I notice you are an independent musician as well. However, I think your removals were a bit ill-advised and I think the end result deprives our community of a neutral and notable source of music reviews. Thank you.

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis have co-written and produced songs and sung back-up vocals for Janet Jackson, but they are not associated acts. There has never been a group called Janet/Jam/Lewis, they've just had a long term-collaboration. Aaliyah, Missy and Timberland may have done several collaborations, but they've never marketed themselves as a musical group- Aaliyah has always simply been "Aaliyah".

Hello, apologies, the user who posted about the section being posted by an IP seemed to be accusing me of using another person's ID. I thought this unfair on me and the other user, so removed it. Have left it alone since. Unfortunately the user who posted the comment keeps making edits to the Katharine Isabelle page, removing a particular section which all other editors appear to find acceptable, a good number are admins and heavy users who must know what is acceptable and what is not. As that shows consensus, which is what we are supposed to work to, isn't it? So I have reverted his edit several times with an explanation, and I think he is angry with me. A single editor shouldn't be allowed to dictate how a page should appear, should they? At the end of the day we are told to Ignore All The Rules, anyway, so as he is alone I feel justified in reverting to the appearance the majority find acceptable 81.102.115.191 ( talk) 21:01, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Apparently there is a limit on how many "style changes" are tolerated in this world, even if one's style changes corrected ambiguity left by someone else's edits. They may be reverted and the ambiguity returned, left unaddressed by the reverter. By the way, although I can't find it right now, I'm fairly certain there's a guideline that directs one to use more than one column in ref sections once the number of refs exceeds a certain amount.

What is it going to take to convince you to stop objecting to putting that rap person you are obsessed by undeer his real name and mae the article Nelly properly cover the name and its uses in general? As it stands I would be wastingmy time moving it because I know you'd just go in there and revert ir. You are apparently very proud of undoing vandalism, but I consider that sort of thing vandalism. You are imposing a narrow teenage pop culture perspective on the whole world by not agreeing to the change I calleed for. So, when are you going to wake up and notice that the real world does not regard one individual out of many (and it isn't even his real name) as the appropriate subject for a one-name article title?

I received your message about my entry [7]. When are you allowed to include an external link on a wikipedia page? I placed an external link to a page where people can watch the music video of the song. Can you explain what's wrong with that- and if there is something wrong with that, question: What's the appropriate way to edit a Wikipedia page linking to video content?
What chart information are you talking about? The WP:CHARTS applies to information regarding chart placements, which i posted nothing of sort. So could you not pollute my talk page with accusations of vandalism, unnecessary information. again you are giving me information regarding the info box. I agree, the info box should be not have useless information. But at no stage in a template of a music single page does it say discourage the use of release date history. I've been doing edits for a number of music pages for a long time, so I'm quite familar how things work here. Getluv ( talk) 10:34, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I've just noticed you nominated Category:Number-one singles in Bulgaria for deletion, as well as other three categories, which includes Category:Number-one singles in Chile. I believe this one could stay because Chile does have a (seemingly) official chart, the Chile Top 100 (not Hot 100). I also think Category:Number-one singles in Croatia should be nominated as well, as the Croatian chart is hosted by a blog. Funk Junkie ( talk) 17:22, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed you've been keeping a fairly close eye on the article. I wanted to raise an issue that will come up with a great many of the recent references added since the murders of her family. I note there are a lot of references from ap.google and yahoo news. These will deprecate from those websites in a fairly short period of time, leaving a lot of dead links.

Your reversion on 9/9/08 of the edit of page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_Don%27t_Go is in error.
You should either add a disambigulation page, or cross-link between the Sonny & Cher version and the Fabulous version.
Replacing the page for the Sonny & Cher version with info on the Fabulous version means that you've corrupted existing hyperlinks, and caused more problems than you realize.

1)That is incorrect. Everything doesnt need to be sources. What IS wiki policy is to not discourage editing.
2) Im watching a bio on Keyshia Cole. It said her birth name. KC herself said it in many interviews with

I searched Google for the interview but Essence seems to have removed it as all sites that link to the interview redirect to Essence's homepage.

I googled & I see it. Its the Oct 7 Essence mag.
