Thanks for cleaning up my edit, but those are the only sources available at this moment, should I remove the paragraph? BigRed606 (talk) 01:31, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yahoo! is probably the best available source for the sentence at the moment. The story is fast moving and there will likely be better sources soon. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 01:48, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I understand and appreciate your removing of my edit in order to remove bias (because I certainly had one). My issue is that the quote selected makes a very judgmental and objectively NOT correct assertation. The idea that a celebrity or artist is a "global power" and should be responsible for the failings of governmental action is insane. Instead of deleting the quote ("By pointing out the problems in these three communities, but proposing no solutions, is she (Harvey) just as responsible for their desertion as the global powers that came before her?"), I just made it clear that no one besides that author blamed a pop singer for the social cleansing of Washington DC. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hoppysfavorite (talk • contribs) 15:28, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

hi, about vmas 2021, a singer named anitta is listed as main stage performer by wikipedia but she didn't perform at the awards, MTV had only posted her video on their youtube channel, just like Ed Sheeran's "Bad Habits "but the video was deleted a day later, it was her fans who put it on the wikipedia list, could you fix this error? Kauape (talk) 21:21, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For some reason, someone added last year's nominees to this year's article, and this year's nominees to last year's article. Those are last year's nominees. They will be voted this year because the comittee could not gather last year. Just check The Grammys official website and you will see. Mannoragrace (talk) 23:35, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Terrible news to wake up to. So glad you cleaned up his article.

I worked in music in Boston for a long time, and I suspect that we may have been at some of the same shows in Providence - they were always more fun than Boston gigs. Then again, I could be totally wrong - I tend to think everyone is my age. Are you of the Grandmaster Flash/Replacements or REM at the Living Room era?? Happy to have crossed paths with you!

Thanks for your hard work on the 65th Grammy Awards page. I could see that you edited in real time, keeping the article up to date as it went along. My roommate and I watched from Alaska, and we enjoyed it. Your efforts prevented a lot of “heavy lifting” from being needed after the program. Well done!

Hi there! You seemed to have rollbacked my edit on the article Hansie, where I removed a paragraph that was copied word-for-word from the film's plot summary page at IMDB by an IP user over 10 years ago. I also decided to remove the line after it, as it was unsourced and was not entirely related to the film. If I made a mistake, do let me know. Thanks! PritongKandule-✉️📝 15:58, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi @PritongKandule, Yes, I was trying to revert this OR edit from a user who had also vandalised the Sting wiki (which you actually reverted, thank you!), and your edit must've gotten caught in the middle. I've already reverted the Hansie page to remove the IMDB copyvio. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 16:13, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi nice to meet you I was trying to expand that page and it is necessary to create a separate article for each song, mainly considering that they were also released as separate singles. Would you help me to change the name of the article? I would need it to be called just Keepin' the Faith Thank you in advance for your attention Nohayunolibre (talk) 17:39, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, could I possibly ask you to take a look at my new article, Eddy Giles? I have made some clean-up and included some new facts. I have found two articles in the Shreveport Times (from 2015 and 2023); Giles has his own heading in Joel Whitburn's book (noted Billboard historian). Do you think, the article deserves keeping it or deletion? It has been tagged. Without doubt author Whitburn and the Shreveport Times are reliable sources (the article does not include content from blogs, forums, social media). I always fear of conflict of interests. I have written the article, so I'm not sure if it's fair for me to remove the tag. My goal is to write articles on obscure musicaians. Articles I have created are Jesse Anderson (musician), John Kilzer, Freddie Hughes, among others. Not every musician was lucky enough to be as famous as Olivia Newton-John or David Bowie, but had their impact though. Please find some time and take a closer look at it.

Thank you for quality articles such as Woodstock 50 and Phish, for starting WHJJ (2006), Glassnote Records (2010) and 4Ever (album) (2016), for bringing musicians to the news as today Gordon Lightfoot, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Doc Strange decided to delete my addition of Kate Bush's biggest achievement in the opening paragraph of her discography, the recharting of "Running Up That Hill" which hit #1 around the world. He restored the opening paragraph to just a simple recitation of how many records and albums she released. I'm not sure why.

Doc Strange is listed as a "Dead Head." A check of the Grateful Dead's discography has five fairly long opening paragraphs. Would we say Annie Lennox is Kate Bush's contemporary? Her discography has two opening paragraphs. How about Dusty Springfield? Six sentences long. Wouldn't re-charting with a #1 hit 37 years later be something you'd want to see in the opening paragraph, a significant discography achievement?

I'm also taken aback that my contribution was deleted within 13 minutes of posting it. That doesn't leave much time for deliberation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gregg - nh153 (talk • contribs)

@Gregg - nh153:, Hi there! Firstly, You should sign your comments on other users' talk page. Secondly, I've left a note on your talk page to please assume good faith on other editor's edits. Wikipedia is live, and other editors can make edits or reversions at any time. I removed your passage from the discography page for a couple reasons. It wasn't really up to snuff with the Wikipedia Manual of Style, and it had a lot of overlinking of countries that isn't really necessary. The Dusty Springfield and Grateful Dead articles mention specific songs, just not albums, and some editors try to strive for a consistent style on those pages. If you'd like to add it back with some references, feel free, but some other editors may disagree that only one song should be mentioned in the intro of a discography page. I am pinging into this conversation Derek R Bullamore, whose revision I reverted to and who does a lot more work on discography pages than I do and if he's interested, he might be able to answer some of your questions about what goes on discography pages on his own talk page.
