Thanks for contributing new article Little Robbers. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable, by being clearly attributed to reliable sources. Please help by adding more sources to the article you created, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the material (see here for how to do inline referencing). Many thanks!

I was just looking at the Bearfoot (American band) article and noticed all of the work you did to fix up the references. Thanks! I am a bluegrass enthusiast, and I'm trying to work on these band pages, but there are so many without references.

Mburrel-
I apologize if you took my words out of context - I did not mean to be abrasive but rather hoping to ensure that the content is accurate. I do indeed work for Blackheart Records and am writing on behalf of Kenny Laguna, Joan Jett's manager for over 30 years.
Below is a note from Kenny Laguna - please keep this on our talk page conversations. Thank you in advance. You may find my email on the blackheart.com contact page if you would like to discuss this matter off of the wikipedia site.

To Whom it may concern:
There is a good reason that Joan Jett requested an adjustment to her wikipedia bio.
It was over-emphasizing Suzi's relevance to Joan's biography, and, after an occurrence where Governor Howard Dean was confused by the references, Joan herself specifically requested it be removed. There has been nothing about her real and personal relationship and inspiration by Robert Plant, Pete Townsend and Steven Tyler, and so, it is inaccurate to give that weight to Suzi Quatro, just for example.
We would appreciate your support.
Very truly yours,

A couple months ago, I didn't know how to add or create an album; something like that, so I asked you to do it; I think it had something to do with list of 2016 albums. Well, since that time, I've learned a lot! In fact, I have created a lot of pages now, such as "Wasted Love" (Steve Angello song), "Children Of The Wild", "Remember" (Steve Angello song), "Tiger" (Steve Angello song), and "The Ocean" (Steve Angello song) just tonight. I did some other wiki things, but that's basically all of the pages that I have created. If you want, you can check those pages out. But yeah, I just came here to thank you. Because if you hadn't said what you said about me having to create the work myself, I would just keep postponing these projects or begging others to do them for me. Now I can hold my own as a wikipedia user. Thanks. :)

Hi Mburrell, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede 66 08:43, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
I get why you removed the Twitter sources on Resurrection (Adina Howard album). Personally, I don't like citing Twitter if I can avoid it, but in this case it appears to be one of the only sources of information on the album (and allowable per WP:TWITTER, as Howard is talking about herself and what she's doing). If better sources could be found, those would be preferable, but the album didn't chart and I think most music outlets wouldn't cover Howard anymore anyway.

For your work on keeping List of 2017 albums (and the upcoming 2018 albums list) in good shape! Ss 112 02:20, 13 November 2017 (UTC) |
Hey Mburrell, I reverted an IP editor just before for adding around 4kB of information (mostly unsourced/unsupported genres), but they also cited a Rock Sound article revealing several bands are "releasing new music in 2018". The editor listed all the bands present, however, I reverted because the article did not explicitly say albums were coming from the named bands, just "new music" and then another sentence that said "new stuff" from several other bands. I thought "new stuff" could mean anything, not necessarily EPs or albums. Not sure if the editor will be back, just informing you in case you see this and hoped you'd agree with the reversion. (Just a note, if you reply here, no need to ping me, I watchlist talk pages I write on) Ss 112 14:32, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for your help, patience and all the explanations on the 2018 albums list page, I totally get it's important to prevent changes that doesn't reach a certain level of quality, and kudos to you for being part of it!

Is this reversion based on any standard? In the process of getting a draft accepted people complain "it's an orphan, no incoming links". If we can't add the link beforehand, then every draft will be an orphan. This seems like a double bind. - Jmabel | Talk 01:11, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

You badly need to refresh your understanding pg WP:NFC and WP:NFCC. A nonfree album cover may only be used as an identifying image in the article whose principal subject is the album itself. Policy and consensus on this point have been long and clearly established. Rather than continuing to edit war to restore inappropriately used images, you should raise your questions on an appropriate NFC policy-related discussion page.

For your constant upkeep of the List of [year] albums articles. Ss 112 04:53, 12 April 2019 (UTC) |
Hi there! On this edit, you indicate that the sortkey should be "List of" instead of "2011". I don't know whether you're aware that the DEFAULTSORT tag is overridden by any specific sortkey added to the category. Thus DEFAULTSORT:2011 albums will not affect the order of the article in these categories, as they have sortkeys added:
[[:Category:2011 albums| ]]
[[:Category:2011-related lists|Albums]]
[[:Category:Lists of albums by release date|2011]]
The only category that will be affected by DEFAULTSORT is Category:Incomplete music lists. If you object to the way the article sorts in this category with the DEFAULTSORT:2011 albums tag, then I differ with you in regard to sorting style. If you object to the way the article sorts in any other category, feel free to add sortkeys to specific categories as you see fit. Her Pegship ( speak) 17:20, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
Working on small mobile device, in mobile view, took some time to get through all the research and review of the proper or missing dates and titles and authors at the many citations, which meant that the transition in the results was still underway while you swooped in to say it was inconsistent. Over the last few years you have clearly put lots of time and effort, more than any other editor, to keep this article updated and alive. Time spent "instantly saving the day" on a bit of formatting that was part of unfinished work... could have been spent, over the years, on the research and review of the proper or missing dates and titles and authors?
While the edit Tags clearly show that each was a "Mobile edit, Mobile web edit", I do acknowledge that I could have helped further emphasize the pace caused by working on a mobile by adding “part 1” or “first section” to my edit descriptions, since I could see how long it was taking to get through each section. Just did not expect someone to react within 35 minutes of the first edit, while I was working on the next part, when the article hadn’t been touched by anyone in over 6 months.

@ Rocky228: Your photo was deleted on Wikimedia Commons, which is the site that hosts the photos for Wikipedia. The reasoning was that the photo was on Beth Hart's Instagram account, so it did not look like your own work. I posed a question to the administrator who deleted the photo, and asked if an employee could post such a picture, if it was the poster who originally took the photo. I am pasting the administrator's reply. Basically, because the photo is associated with Beth Hart, you need to do some additional steps to get the photo approved, but it is not impossible. When you are ready to post your photo again, just perform the same actions you did before, but also perform the following step first:

Publications and companies do not always have the complete title of their website in their logo, and I trust you know this, but that appears to be all you are basing your opinion that the website is supposedly just called "Fader" off of. Otherwise what else is there that supports that it's just called "Fader"? Where's your evidence? Meanwhile, the URL includes the definite article, https://www.thefader.com/, the website's title (when it's loading in a tab) states "The FADER", its footer says "The Fader, Inc." Mentions of its issues all include the definite article, even when it could not be mistaken for a "the" at the start of the sentence, for instance on a page about its latest issue here. If it were just called "FADER", they would have written "As part of FADER's 20th anniversary issue" and the like, but they have consistently used "the". Its social media accounts, such as on Facebook and Instagram, all refer to it as "The Fader", whether Fader is in all-caps or not—that would be a stylisation per WP:TMRULES regardless.
You stated in your edit summary that Wiki users have just inserted a definite article and have "provide[d] no evidence", except you don't have any evidence of outside of the logo because if you had let your eyes wander off the logo you would have seen all of what I just mentioned. If you still disagree after this, you are very clearly ignoring the amount of evidence it is called "The Fader" here, because they quite consistently use "The Fader" in prose and everywhere on their website aside from only their logo. Also, if you respond, I don't require a ping and please don't write two long paragraphs where you overthink and deconstruct an issue like you did to someone else above and have in the past. I can't control how much you (want to) write, but this is not worth writing that much on because it's quite clear your "rule of thumb" is certainly not correct here.

Figured I should ask, has there been a discussion about not using Metacritic as a ref in the List of Such-and-Such Year Albums articles? The MC entry on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources doesn't exactly say either way for these specific instances, perhaps a discussion is needed? Or has that discussion already been had and I just haven't seen it? I've noticed you changing out the ones I've put up with alternate refs, and if that's because of a rule I'm unaware of then I'd rather adjust my own editing rather than keep making more work for you (Though I do appreciate your diligence in cleaning up after me and everyone else editing those articles).

I moved this page back to the lower-case f title before I found Novaredant has move-warred with two other editors, including yourself, before I saw his paragraph at the top of the article, and before I saw you actually requested a move back at WP:RM/TR, so I hope you don't mind but I removed your request as essentially being "done". I've asked the editor to start a regular move request at WP:RM. Ss 112 05:55, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
I admit I'm not that much of a Joan Jett fan, I don't much care either way how the articles are worded. Thank you for being polite in your edit summary when reverting my changes. I changed it because of how Garage, Inc. is worded. Another covers album article, Re:(disc)overed does say studio album, but it's not counted as numbered. Just out of curiousity, why is The Hit List counted as Joan Jett's seventh studio album? TJD2 ( talk) 16:21, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
Since you brought it up in your latest edit, figured I should let you know that if you hover your mouse cursor over the year at the top of a Spotify album page, a text block will appear with the full release date.

I know the size of these lists has become a concern of yours in recent years and hence why the 2021 albums list was split in two. I've just edited the list and noticed it's ballooned out to listing 51 albums coming out on November 5 alone, with all apparently being considered notable just because all the artists have articles...if this keeps up you'll probably need to start splitting the lists into three-month intervals List of 2021 albums (October–December), then maybe by month, e.g. List of December 2021 albums.

Hi, regarding your reverting my applications of hlist, I agree that MOS:HLIST doesn't say anything about commas vs bullets. But the document for the musical artist infobox template provides guideline that commas are acceptable for a short list of 2-3 items, but for longer lists it is preferable to use hlist or flatlist. Aithus ( talk) 12:00, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
So this is a bit of a confusing one but I think I get it. If you look at the links to "related articles" below the article you're looking at, there are date stamps listed there. For some reason the date of the article is never listed on the article itself, but it shows up elsewhere (such as this search result). It's a roundabout and very annoying way of finding the date but it's there, and I suppose the bot is retrieving it through metadata that we just can't see. I don't know how that would hold up to policy given it isn't verifiable on the page, but it's not impossible to find. QuietHere ( talk) 19:47, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello Mburrell
I noticed the citation bot has been blocked on the album list pages - I should probably mention that I didn't use it when adding the album references, I simply copy-pasted article titles to the title parameter of the ref without taking into account the different types of quotes and how they are displayed by MediaWiki. I will pay closer attention to this in the future - sorry for the oversight. UltrasonicMadness ( talk) 11:36, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
Saw your re-addition of the "vents" blog again this morning, apologies for not replying sooner. Happy to help you locate the prior discussions: There are conversations from 2016, February of this year and this month. Each evaluation was clearly that it is not reliable. This site is almost exclusively paid placement and spam, there are hundreds of ads on the usual sites for blackhat placement, and there is absolutely no indication of competent editorial control or disclosure of advertorials. Garbage like this, from just today, is common. Can you share what you're seeing that makes you feel this is WP:RS?

Hi Mburrell, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede 66 08:43, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
I get why you removed the Twitter sources on Resurrection (Adina Howard album). Personally, I don't like citing Twitter if I can avoid it, but in this case it appears to be one of the only sources of information on the album (and allowable per WP:TWITTER, as Howard is talking about herself and what she's doing). If better sources could be found, those would be preferable, but the album didn't chart and I think most music outlets wouldn't cover Howard anymore anyway.

For your work on keeping List of 2017 albums (and the upcoming 2018 albums list) in good shape! Ss 112 02:20, 13 November 2017 (UTC) |
Hey Mburrell, I reverted an IP editor just before for adding around 4kB of information (mostly unsourced/unsupported genres), but they also cited a Rock Sound article revealing several bands are "releasing new music in 2018". The editor listed all the bands present, however, I reverted because the article did not explicitly say albums were coming from the named bands, just "new music" and then another sentence that said "new stuff" from several other bands. I thought "new stuff" could mean anything, not necessarily EPs or albums. Not sure if the editor will be back, just informing you in case you see this and hoped you'd agree with the reversion. (Just a note, if you reply here, no need to ping me, I watchlist talk pages I write on) Ss 112 14:32, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for your help, patience and all the explanations on the 2018 albums list page, I totally get it's important to prevent changes that doesn't reach a certain level of quality, and kudos to you for being part of it!

Is this reversion based on any standard? In the process of getting a draft accepted people complain "it's an orphan, no incoming links". If we can't add the link beforehand, then every draft will be an orphan. This seems like a double bind. - Jmabel | Talk 01:11, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

You badly need to refresh your understanding pg WP:NFC and WP:NFCC. A nonfree album cover may only be used as an identifying image in the article whose principal subject is the album itself. Policy and consensus on this point have been long and clearly established. Rather than continuing to edit war to restore inappropriately used images, you should raise your questions on an appropriate NFC policy-related discussion page.

For your constant upkeep of the List of [year] albums articles. Ss 112 04:53, 12 April 2019 (UTC) |
Hi there! On this edit, you indicate that the sortkey should be "List of" instead of "2011". I don't know whether you're aware that the DEFAULTSORT tag is overridden by any specific sortkey added to the category. Thus DEFAULTSORT:2011 albums will not affect the order of the article in these categories, as they have sortkeys added:
[[:Category:2011 albums| ]]
[[:Category:2011-related lists|Albums]]
[[:Category:Lists of albums by release date|2011]]
The only category that will be affected by DEFAULTSORT is Category:Incomplete music lists. If you object to the way the article sorts in this category with the DEFAULTSORT:2011 albums tag, then I differ with you in regard to sorting style. If you object to the way the article sorts in any other category, feel free to add sortkeys to specific categories as you see fit. Her Pegship ( speak) 17:20, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
Working on small mobile device, in mobile view, took some time to get through all the research and review of the proper or missing dates and titles and authors at the many citations, which meant that the transition in the results was still underway while you swooped in to say it was inconsistent. Over the last few years you have clearly put lots of time and effort, more than any other editor, to keep this article updated and alive. Time spent "instantly saving the day" on a bit of formatting that was part of unfinished work... could have been spent, over the years, on the research and review of the proper or missing dates and titles and authors?
While the edit Tags clearly show that each was a "Mobile edit, Mobile web edit", I do acknowledge that I could have helped further emphasize the pace caused by working on a mobile by adding “part 1” or “first section” to my edit descriptions, since I could see how long it was taking to get through each section. Just did not expect someone to react within 35 minutes of the first edit, while I was working on the next part, when the article hadn’t been touched by anyone in over 6 months.

@ Rocky228: Your photo was deleted on Wikimedia Commons, which is the site that hosts the photos for Wikipedia. The reasoning was that the photo was on Beth Hart's Instagram account, so it did not look like your own work. I posed a question to the administrator who deleted the photo, and asked if an employee could post such a picture, if it was the poster who originally took the photo. I am pasting the administrator's reply. Basically, because the photo is associated with Beth Hart, you need to do some additional steps to get the photo approved, but it is not impossible. When you are ready to post your photo again, just perform the same actions you did before, but also perform the following step first:

Publications and companies do not always have the complete title of their website in their logo, and I trust you know this, but that appears to be all you are basing your opinion that the website is supposedly just called "Fader" off of. Otherwise what else is there that supports that it's just called "Fader"? Where's your evidence? Meanwhile, the URL includes the definite article, https://www.thefader.com/, the website's title (when it's loading in a tab) states "The FADER", its footer says "The Fader, Inc." Mentions of its issues all include the definite article, even when it could not be mistaken for a "the" at the start of the sentence, for instance on a page about its latest issue here. If it were just called "FADER", they would have written "As part of FADER's 20th anniversary issue" and the like, but they have consistently used "the". Its social media accounts, such as on Facebook and Instagram, all refer to it as "The Fader", whether Fader is in all-caps or not—that would be a stylisation per WP:TMRULES regardless.
You stated in your edit summary that Wiki users have just inserted a definite article and have "provide[d] no evidence", except you don't have any evidence of outside of the logo because if you had let your eyes wander off the logo you would have seen all of what I just mentioned. If you still disagree after this, you are very clearly ignoring the amount of evidence it is called "The Fader" here, because they quite consistently use "The Fader" in prose and everywhere on their website aside from only their logo. Also, if you respond, I don't require a ping and please don't write two long paragraphs where you overthink and deconstruct an issue like you did to someone else above and have in the past. I can't control how much you (want to) write, but this is not worth writing that much on because it's quite clear your "rule of thumb" is certainly not correct here.

Figured I should ask, has there been a discussion about not using Metacritic as a ref in the List of Such-and-Such Year Albums articles? The MC entry on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources doesn't exactly say either way for these specific instances, perhaps a discussion is needed? Or has that discussion already been had and I just haven't seen it? I've noticed you changing out the ones I've put up with alternate refs, and if that's because of a rule I'm unaware of then I'd rather adjust my own editing rather than keep making more work for you (Though I do appreciate your diligence in cleaning up after me and everyone else editing those articles).

I moved this page back to the lower-case f title before I found Novaredant has move-warred with two other editors, including yourself, before I saw his paragraph at the top of the article, and before I saw you actually requested a move back at WP:RM/TR, so I hope you don't mind but I removed your request as essentially being "done".

I admit I'm not that much of a Joan Jett fan, I don't much care either way how the articles are worded. Thank you for being polite in your edit summary when reverting my changes. I changed it because of how Garage, Inc. is worded. Another covers album article, Re:(disc)overed does say studio album, but it's not counted as numbered.

Since you brought it up in your latest edit, figured I should let you know that if you hover your mouse cursor over the year at the top of a Spotify album page, a text block will appear with the full release date.

I know the size of these lists has become a concern of yours in recent years and hence why the 2021 albums list was split in two. I've just edited the list and noticed it's ballooned out to listing 51 albums coming out on November 5 alone, with all apparently being considered notable just because all the artists have articles...if this keeps up you'll probably need to start splitting the lists into three-month intervals List of 2021 albums (October–December), then maybe by month, e.g. List of December 2021 albums.

Hi, regarding your reverting my applications of hlist, I agree that MOS:HLIST doesn't say anything about commas vs bullets. But the document for the musical artist infobox template provides guideline that commas are acceptable for a short list of 2-3 items, but for longer lists it is preferable to use hlist or flatlist.

So this is a bit of a confusing one but I think I get it. If you look at the links to "related articles" below the article you're looking at, there are date stamps listed there. For some reason the date of the article is never listed on the article itself, but it shows up elsewhere (such as this search result). It's a roundabout and very annoying way of finding the date but it's there, and I suppose the bot is retrieving it through metadata that we just can't see. I don't know how that would hold up to policy given it isn't verifiable on the page, but it's not impossible to find. QuietHere ( talk) 19:47, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello Mburrell
I noticed the citation bot has been blocked on the album list pages - I should probably mention that I didn't use it when adding the album references, I simply copy-pasted article titles to the title parameter of the ref without taking into account the different types of quotes and how they are displayed by MediaWiki. I will pay closer attention to this in the future - sorry for the oversight. UltrasonicMadness ( talk) 11:36, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
Saw your re-addition of the "vents" blog again this morning, apologies for not replying sooner. Happy to help you locate the prior discussions: There are conversations from 2016, February of this year and this month. Each evaluation was clearly that it is not reliable. This site is almost exclusively paid placement and spam, there are hundreds of ads on the usual sites for blackhat placement, and there is absolutely no indication of competent editorial control or disclosure of advertorials. Garbage like this, from just today, is common. Can you share what you're seeing that makes you feel this is WP:RS?

Hi there! My watchlist shows you've been making lots of edits to Beatles articles today. It seems many of your edits are to change [[Let It Be (Beatles album)|''Let It Be'']]
to [[Let It Be (album)|''Let It Be'']]

Let It Be (album), the link is
