How are my edits at Rage Against the Machine unsourced? The Loudwire reference confirms they're reuniting, so please stop reverting. Thank you. 130.65.109.103 ( talk) 18:13, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
The source is stated in refeence 55: Ziemke, 1986 pg.327. That Model retreated from Baranovichi (Belarus) and Vilnius (Lithuania). Therefore the edit is already sourced. Gunkot ( talk) 03:04, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

I saw you just left a link to my other non-used account which I forgot the password to on my extended confirmed user request. Just for you to know I am not asking for that account to receive extended confirmed abilities, I'm asking you to do it for this one. Maybe that page was not the right place to ask the request but this case is a tricky one because this account is older than 30 days and has made more than 500 yet still doesn't appear under extended confirmed status. If you read my request it will make more sense. Prana1111 ( talk) 18:50, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
Hello, this is EchoFive. In response to your message regarding the changes I made regarding the Three Musketeers in popular culture, I would like to give a rebuttal. You had my addition removed based on not providing a "reliable source". The information I added to the article is, in fact, stated in the source already linked to in the article. The changes I made were to add d'Artagnan and Keldeo to the list of Pokemon inspired by the Three Musketeers, which is even in the same paragraph as information previously cited for Aramis, Porthos, and Athos.
The cited material reads "The Three Musketeers, in case you didn’t know, are the 17th century team of fictional French adventurers who are best known for their motto, “All for one and one for all.” Athos is the trio’s well-rounded leader, Porthos is the largest and strongest of the group, and Aramis is the romantic pretty-boy. The Three Musketeers are often accompanied by D’Artagnan, the group’s newest and youngest member, who’s likely meant to be represented by Keldeo."
Please replace my addition, as your claim of not having a reliable source is, in fact, incorrect. I was merely adding more information from a previously provided source. EchoFive ( talk) 01:36, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
@ FlightTime: I'm here to contest your undos on Roald Dahl page. Can you make me one example of useless link that I've added to that page? I honestly do not think that I've exaggerated with the links. And I don't understand why the phrase "at Villa Marie, Fairwater Road, in Llandaff (a district of Wales' capital city Cardiff) to Norwegians..." could not be better than the previous form. It isn't difficult to understand and it doesn't have any less information than the other. Illuminate me. Good night.

I discovered it lately and was so amazed about this interpretation. Why not to mention it? The original song was a very big hit it is interesting. If you have a suggestion about the way it should look like, just tell me, I dont want to act stubborn, I just want this to be known in an informative way.
Hi. I’m baffled by you reverting my edit on the Alice Cooper article. There is an image of him performing in a 2019 concert, and instead of it appearing in the 2010s section where it belongs – hence I moved it up there – it’s in the style and influences section.

Ahh ok. Thanks for the explanation. Preya Knight ( talk) 18:23, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

I don’t understand your need to be following around and reverting my edits just for the sake of it. Why? I did constructively edit Mia May article and my recent revert on the Elvis Presley article was a revert in good faith because the text had been included for months upon months and the user even admitted that the text was true.-- Doctor987654 ( talk) 03:33, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
The text had been included in the article for months upon months and the user admitted that the text was true, a user doesn’t get to remove text from an article because he or she considers it to be “pointless” (the user’s word). If anything, that is more disruptive. There is nothing wrong with using someone’s name more than once in an article.
Please do tell me how I’m being disruptive by reverting an edit in good faith.-- Doctor987654 ( talk) 03:41, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
That’s a straw man argument. Can you please explain how I have made any disruptive edits? With regards to the Elvis Presley article reverts, I would appreciate it if you could give your reason to revert my edits and then threaten me with being blocked from edits when all you have done is give the reason as “Nope”. I have a reasonable explanation why I reverted the user’s edit. Firstly, the text had been included in the article for months upon months which suggested that there was a general consensus for it to be included in the article. Secondly, the user who removed the text admitted that it was true. Thus, why did you revert my edit with the reason as “Nope”? So far, you haven’t told me why I am making disruptive edits. I am trying my best to improve articles and recently you have been essentially stalking my edits and reverting my edits for no reason. Why? I have created a section on the Elvis Presley article and mentioned your rather vindictive personal attack against me. I don’t want to argue with you, but I can’t understand why you’re being so harsh to me when I haven’t vandalised any article and I am trying my best to improve articles.-- Doctor987654 ( talk) 03:52, 11 December 2019 (UTC) Hi, I think that you have made a genuine mistake about me. Please check the Elvis Presley article edit history and you will see that no one had reverted me. Basically, someone made an edit which removed text which had been included in the article for months for no other reason than he or she thought it was “pointless” so I reverted his or her edit in good faith. I really didn’t like seeing you accuse me of being disruptive because I want to improve Wikipedia (check my edit contributions, I have not had any disputes with anyone about my edits because I try my best to improve articles) and I understand that you, like anyone else, including myself, can make a mistake. I don’t want there to be any hard feelings between us, so I do hope that you can see your mistake and rectify it.-- Doctor987654 ( talk) 04:03, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
@ FlightTime: Hello, i received your warning about "over-linking" on the Gene Simmons page. I do not think you were correct in reverting. I changed the link to a first usage link and deleted the link on second usage, e.g. on the word "Jewish." This is normal Wikipedia style. Please let us discuss this on the Gene Simmons page, not my personal page or your personal page.

Hello FlightTime, I'm afraid you got the wrong end of the stick- the edit summary I included with my edit clearly explained that the quotes listed in the article do not match the source from which they were allegedly taken, and indeed seem geared towards putting Cox- whatever his faults may be- in a bad light. Like my edits reflected, the first quote (which I removed) was not a reflection of his own opinion, but a comment on a tape sent to him by two musicians; the second quote does not include the 'like I am'. I don't see that there can be any justification for the retention of these erroneous quotations, and if I don't receive a response will have to conclude you reverted my edit in error (with, no doubt, the best of intentions) and will make the changes again. Thanks 78.144.71.58 ( talk) 17:30, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

In this case, I'll defend Brogo13. Your edit summary pointed to Help:Whitespace#Addressing_the_whitespace_issue, but that doesn't address the issue of blank lines before and after headings.
You may not be aware of this, but Wikimedia's software places a blank line before and after a heading, and a space before and after the words in the heading. That is the default at Wikipedia. When you push that "new section" tab and create a section, a blank line is automatically placed before and after the heading.
The blank lines are a help to editors whose eyesight isn't so good anymore. I really appreciate it when I am in the editing window and scanning down a long article. The headings jump out at me, but if there is only one space (usually above a heading), I can easily miss the heading. When there is a blank space above and below, I never miss it.
The actual appearance of the article is unaffected by the presence or absence of a single blank line above or below, so I hope you will start thinking about making it easier for your fellow editors by at least allowing others to keep the original, default, blank lines and not removing them, which serves no legitimate purpose. Thanks. -- BullRangifer ( talk) 21:23, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
I don't understand why it got reverted. All releases are mentioned, clearly established in band's History page. All releases are also on their discography page. Slipknot, vocalist's other band has same structure. If this doesn't fit, why that timeline doesn't have Other Releases removed? Gnaxywa ( talk) 19:03, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
@ FlightTime: Hey, I just added an entry on the talk page of the Sitting Bull article. Shortly after, you moved all other entries (except mine) into the archive even though there were a couple recent ones among them. Was that a mistake or is there a reason for that? Just asking because I was just about to reply to one of those other entries, but when I tried to save, that entry was already archived. Billy7 ( talk) 20:12, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

I'm kind of new to editing Wikipedia so can you tell me why you removed correct information from, as far as I can see from other wiki pages, the right spot. Texas35078 ( talk) 18:19, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the issue is with the edits I've been making but you seem to have one. This is my first time editing wikipedia articles, so perhaps I am doing it wrong, but I tried to base my edits off of other, similar information. First you said that it was useless trivia, which I don't understand? I mean, Ninja Sex Party has released 7 albums, and when I noticed that they were not credited with having covered any of the songs on their Under The Covers Vol III album, I thought that they should be so I started editing the pages with the songs on their cover album. Then you said that I posed something without a reference, but I've been using the ref tag and using the same music website as other credited albums in the (Don't Fear) the Reaper article. Can you please try to explain what it is that I am doing wrong? Dominakiara ( talk) 04:42, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

I would like to know why you reverted my edit on the SR-71 page. The information that I edited was flat out wrong and didn't even make sense on the disposition of that aircraft. I also supplied a link to where the proper information on the aircraft in question is at present. This particular aircraft was also loaned to NASA the time frame I had annotated and the article even had the wrong aircraft number assigned to it. You can read the history of this particular aircraft at the habu.org website, which is a very authoritative source on history pertaining to the whole Blackbird program, including A12, M/D12, YF12 and SR71 lines of aircraft.

Hi FlightTime, the editor is adding the content to a few articles. It started with Chelsea Handler and I posted a note on their talk page stating they needed to start a discussion on the talk page.

Hey, hi, & hello. =) I saw that you had reviewed my new page; and so out of curiosity, I decided to take a look at your. On your page, you mention your project found at: http://www.everythingfoodanddrink.org/ Unfortunately, I could not actually see it. Perhaps, is it down at the moment? I could view a google cache of a page; but of course, that does not allow actual browsing of the site but only a snapshot of a page (and usually without proper formatting). Anyways, are you aware that it is down?
Also of note since we're here, it seems that we share a fair amount of interests, and I noticed that you used BBSs before the internet was a thing. I did too; and way back then, I created the same username which I most commonly use today (BoyBlueSky) in part because I liked having the acronym BBS. ^_^ @ FlightTime: BoyBlueSky ( talk) 04:12, 14 February 2020 (UTC) BoyBlueSky ( talk) 04:12, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi FlightTime,
This is Elliot Fletcher. I’m wondering what your stake is in my wikipedia page. If you had a page where you were being misrepresented, I think you’d also feel you have the right to correct it with the factual information. Are you being paid to change it? Have you educated yourself about the transgender community? Do you work for me? Do you work for wikipedia? I’m just very confused about your seeming assurance that you know more about my life than I do. Thanks. Elliot.fletch ( talk) 01:02, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

He is edit Warring on multiple pages (as evidenced by his edit history) and is also sock puppeting on the Mike Gabbard page (using IP to mask his edit Warring) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8805:DC00:14D0:19B1:D5BB:25A4:6AA3 ( talk) 11:14, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

I discovered it lately and was so amazed about this interpretation. Why not to mention it? The original song was a very big hit it is interesting. If you have a suggestion about the way it should look like, just tell me, I dont want to act stubborn, I just want this to be known in an informative way.
Hi. I’m baffled by you reverting my edit on the Alice Cooper article. There is an image of him performing in a 2019 concert, and instead of it appearing in the 2010s section where it belongs – hence I moved it up there – it’s in the style and influences section. Preya Knight ( talk) 22:07, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
Ahh ok. Thanks for the explanation. Preya Knight ( talk) 18:23, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

I don’t understand your need to be following around and reverting my edits just for the sake of it. Why? I did constructively edit Mia May article and my recent revert on the Elvis Presley article was a revert in good faith because the text had been included for months upon months and the user even admitted that the text was true.-- Doctor987654 ( talk) 03:33, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
The text had been included in the article for months upon months and the user admitted that the text was true, a user doesn’t get to remove text from an article because he or she considers it to be “pointless” (the user’s word). If anything, that is more disruptive. There is nothing wrong with using someone’s name more than once in an article.
Please do tell me how I’m being disruptive by reverting an edit in good faith.-- Doctor987654 ( talk) 03:41, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
That’s a straw man argument. Can you please explain how I have made any disruptive edits? With regards to the Elvis Presley article reverts, I would appreciate it if you could give your reason to revert my edits and then threaten me with being blocked from edits when all you have done is give the reason as “Nope”. I have a reasonable explanation why I reverted the user’s edit. Firstly, the text had been included in the article for months upon months which suggested that there was a general consensus for it to be included in the article. Secondly, the user who removed the text admitted that it was true. Thus, why did you revert my edit with the reason as “Nope”? So far, you haven’t told me why I am making disruptive edits. I am trying my best to improve articles and recently you have been essentially stalking my edits and reverting my edits for no reason. Why? I have created a section on the Elvis Presley article and mentioned your rather vindictive personal attack against me. I don’t want to argue with you, but I can’t understand why you’re being so harsh to me when I haven’t vandalised any article and I am trying my best to improve articles.-- Doctor987654 ( talk) 03:52, 11 December 2019 (UTC) Hi, I think that you have made a genuine mistake about me. Please check the Elvis Presley article edit history and you will see that no one had reverted me. Basically, someone made an edit which removed text which had been included in the article for months for no other reason than he or she thought it was “pointless” so I reverted his or her edit in good faith. I really didn’t like seeing you accuse me of being disruptive because I want to improve Wikipedia (check my edit contributions, I have not had any disputes with anyone about my edits because I try my best to improve articles) and I understand that you, like anyone else, including myself, can make a mistake. I don’t want there to be any hard feelings between us, so I do hope that you can see your mistake and rectify it.-- Doctor987654 ( talk) 04:03, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
@ FlightTime: Hello, i received your warning about "over-linking" on the Gene Simmons page. I do not think you were correct in reverting. I changed the link to a first usage link and deleted the link on second usage, e.g. on the word "Jewish." This is normal Wikipedia style. Please let us discuss this on the Gene Simmons page, not my personal page or your personal page.

Hello FlightTime, I'm afraid you got the wrong end of the stick- the edit summary I included with my edit clearly explained that the quotes listed in the article do not match the source from which they were allegedly taken, and indeed seem geared towards putting Cox- whatever his faults may be- in a bad light. Like my edits reflected, the first quote (which I removed) was not a reflection of his own opinion, but a comment on a tape sent to him by two musicians; the second quote does not include the 'like I am'. I don't see that there can be any justification for the retention of these erroneous quotations, and if I don't receive a response will have to conclude you reverted my edit in error (with, no doubt, the best of intentions) and will make the changes again. Thanks 78.144.71.58 ( talk) 17:30, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

In this case, I'll defend Brogo13. Your edit summary pointed to Help:Whitespace#Addressing_the_whitespace_issue, but that doesn't address the issue of blank lines before and after headings.
You may not be aware of this, but Wikimedia's software places a blank line before and after a heading, and a space before and after the words in the heading. That is the default at Wikipedia. When you push that "new section" tab and create a section, a blank line is automatically placed before and after the heading.
The blank lines are a help to editors whose eyesight isn't so good anymore. I really appreciate it when I am in the editing window and scanning down a long article. The headings jump out at me, but if there is only one space (usually above a heading), I can easily miss the heading. When there is a blank space above and below, I never miss it.
The actual appearance of the article is unaffected by the presence or absence of a single blank line above or below, so I hope you will start thinking about making it easier for your fellow editors by at least allowing others to keep the original, default, blank lines and not removing them, which serves no legitimate purpose. Thanks. -- BullRangifer ( talk) 21:23, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
I don't understand why it got reverted. All releases are mentioned, clearly established in band's History page. All releases are also on their discography page. Slipknot, vocalist's other band has same structure. If this doesn't fit, why that timeline doesn't have Other Releases removed? Gnaxywa ( talk) 19:03, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
@ FlightTime: Hey, I just added an entry on the talk page of the Sitting Bull article. Shortly after, you moved all other entries (except mine) into the archive even though there were a couple recent ones among them. Was that a mistake or is there a reason for that? Just asking because I was just about to reply to one of those other entries, but when I tried to save, that entry was already archived. Billy7 ( talk) 20:12, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

I'm kind of new to editing Wikipedia so can you tell me why you removed correct information from, as far as I can see from other wiki pages, the right spot. Texas35078 ( talk) 18:19, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
@FlightTime it says that information in his personal life section how is that incorrect. It even says on Carrie Fisher's page that she was married to Paul Simon. Everything I added was accurate Texas35078 ( talk) 18:27, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the issue is with the edits I've been making but you seem to have one. This is my first time editing wikipedia articles, so perhaps I am doing it wrong, but I tried to base my edits off of other, similar information. First you said that it was useless trivia, which I don't understand? I mean, Ninja Sex Party has released 7 albums, and when I noticed that they were not credited with having covered any of the songs on their Under The Covers Vol III album, I thought that they should be so I started editing the pages with the songs on their cover album. Then you said that I posed something without a reference, but I've been using the ref tag and using the same music website as other credited albums in the (Don't Fear) the Reaper article. Can you please try to explain what it is that I am doing wrong? Dominakiara ( talk) 04:42, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

I would like to know why you reverted my edit on the SR-71 page. The information that I edited was flat out wrong and didn't even make sense on the disposition of that aircraft. I also supplied a link to where the proper information on the aircraft in question is at present. This particular aircraft was also loaned to NASA the time frame I had annotated and the article even had the wrong aircraft number assigned to it. You can read the history of this particular aircraft at the habu.org website, which is a very authoritative source on history pertaining to the whole Blackbird program, including A12, M/D12, YF12 and SR71 lines of aircraft.

Hi FlightTime, the editor is adding the content to a few articles. It started with Chelsea Handler and I posted a note on their talk page stating they needed to start a discussion on the talk page. I honestly think it is undue. They then continued to add the content to other articles. I have posted another note on their talk page but additional eyes is appreciated.

Hey, hi, & hello. =) I saw that you had reviewed my new page; and so out of curiosity, I decided to take a look at your. On your page, you mention your project found at: http://www.everythingfoodanddrink.org/ Unfortunately, I could not actually see it. Perhaps, is it down at the moment? I could view a google cache of a page; but of course, that does not allow actual browsing of the site but only a snapshot of a page (and usually without proper formatting). Anyways, are you aware that it is down?
Also of note since we're here, it seems that we share a fair amount of interests, and I noticed that you used BBSs before the internet was a thing. I did too; and way back then, I created the same username which I most commonly use today (BoyBlueSky) in part because I liked having the acronym BBS. ^_^ @ FlightTime: BoyBlueSky ( talk) 04:12, 14 February 2020 (UTC) BoyBlueSky ( talk) 04:12, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi FlightTime! You reverted a change and left me a warning, but I am confused--I cited the edit. I had mistakenly made two edits; I had saved the first edit to the line and then completed the edit with the citation within a few minutes.

Hi FlightTime,
This is Elliot Fletcher. I’m wondering what your stake is in my wikipedia page. If you had a page where you were being misrepresented, I think you’d also feel you have the right to correct it with the factual information. Are you being paid to change it? Have you educated yourself about the transgender community? Do you work for me? Do you work for wikipedia? I’m just very confused about your seeming assurance that you know more about my life than I do. Thanks. Elliot.fletch ( talk) 01:02, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
