This is specifically about you reverting my edits to the Usage in other media section of the I Touch Myself song page to include that the song was used in the Sex Education TV series. Does there need to be a peer-reviewed study on the use of the song for it to be acceptable? BananaBaron (talk) 20:20, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
Look, perhaps these sources aren't 100% correct, at least they provide the closest one can come to a reasonable reliability. I double-checked everything with chart entries relevant to the particular singles, like UK's official charts, Billboard, Dutchcharts etc. These all work out.
What happens now, is that the information those sites provide is now removed, leaving some BS entry without any sources mentioned. Genesis "In Too Deep" now shows a US release date of January 1987, without any source provided, someone just made that up. I can find no source for that date. When actually we know it charted in late April, as the article suggests it was a hit during the summer of 87. So I suggest to you, a close source is better than no source at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ray1983a (talk • contribs) 02:14, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
It's perhaps not how it is supposed to work, but it is how it works out. Not trying to violate wikipedia. I'm a wikipedia-fan. But with some artists, these dates are all over the place and they don't work out with the (reliable) Billboard and UK Charts. Within that context, the info on my sources seem very correct. It's at least a whole lot better than someone's wild guess. And when in doubt, I won't make an entry. These release dates provide some context to an artists' output. Which makes wikipedia a bit more beautiful.
Can you please explain why you recently reverted my edits to the wiki page relating to Devil Inside by INXS. None of the edits made were factually incorrect.
Fair enough -- I will add the edits back in and quote a music forum site where it has been discussed . Personally, I think the comments I made are quite relevant and actually of interest to anyone who knows the song. It was not made flippantly but a genuine comment designed to inform and potentially promote discussion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.112.19.223 (talk) 17:58, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

The person you removed, Rene Michelle Aranda, the youngest sister of Michael Aranda, won a national acting award (for which she shaved herself bald for if you cared to research it). They flew her from L.A. to Washington D.C. for it (see front page of Collegian) & it was the first time the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts had ever issued an award of this nature in its 42 years since being founded in 1969. All of this information can be found on the KCACTF website which was cited & blue-linked along with the link to Cinelatino, the Spanish Television network she produces feature films for, including the very first television series Cinelatino will air- information on film specifics can be found both on IMDb & the Cinelatino website (where you'll find Emmy nominated actress Vannessa Vasquez starred in the first movie she produced). Production updates regarding the upcoming television series are documented throughout the production company's IMDb (was cited) as well as throughout social media, where it might come up that another film she produced received a raving 5-star review commending the diversity of her cast (which according to IMDb, she didn't just produce but cast & also helped write the movie). Tally those credits and you'll find she produced 5 feature films in her first year working for Cinelatino. Her 2nd year, the network's status-quo breaking television series, 22 years after its launch.
Her brother is a vlogger (in a few of whom's videos she is featured) and yet he's got his own page (which she is mentioned on). Sure, he's got 200,000 subs but 30 million people watch Cinelatino in 60 Spanish speaking territories, including all of North America. She's even been the subject of a Ms. In The Biz article, where it touches on how she founded her own production company (listed on corporationwiki). And now (though it can't be cited yet to anything other than the various social media pages of Nickelodean stars Sol Rodriguez & Reinaldo Zavarce and the casting company Selekt Casting, it seems she has cast them in an upcoming project called Cartel.
If you have Netflix, she's a household name in your own space. Watch Expelled and you'll find she's a cast member in that web-star studded film.
I don't know about you but for a 24 year old chick (let alone anybody), that's all pretty notable... Cleaning up an edit is understandable. Prettying up formatting is always appreciated. But deleting mention of a pro-active native's cited achievements makes it look like you didn't really do much research before you edited... just my thought, anyways.

Hi there. The page in question originally was written without any citable references to support the claims. I have removed anything without citable references. I explained that. Rather than just undoing the edit I suggest you instead dig up references for that material (I couldn't find any, but you might have better luck).

Hello Doctorhawkes,
How are you?
First of all, thanks a lot for your corrections, I really liked that article and if I can remember more songs about cities or I listen to them, I'll put some more info in the article.
About what you corrected me about Jalisco, I knew it was a state, not a city; but in that song they talk about a city, Gudalajara, which is the state's capital, I didn't know how to manage that information.
About Waimarama, it was somehow the same but the opposite..., as you can see in the article about Waimarama. Waimarama is a place in Hastings, New Zealand.
Thanks again,

Hi, Doctorhawkes! Saw your rv on this article and comment. I would never usually do that, but I've been in intense discussions with others on the David Bowie article, in which I'd put quotes. These caused upset and were in many cases contracted and paraphrased by others. Not quite the same as what I did in this instance, but. Pearce's English is clearly awful as quoted; it reads better as i've presented. What I've used is a common journalistic method. Wrong here, though? Boscaswell (talk) 21:40, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello. I was wondering why you reverted my edit to "Holiday (Vampire Weekend song)"? You didn't give a reason in your edit summary. I thought it was a legitimate link to the YouTube video. But if I've done something wrong could you let me know what it was? I've been a Wikipedia editor for better than 10 years now, usually just minor stuff, so it's a little surprising to have something reverted that I thought was fairly insignificant. Thanks! --Egpetersen (talk) 00:30, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
Hey, I'm sorry if this comes across as a bit terse, but where do you expect this to be discussed exactly? I checked the talk page before making the edit, but all I found was an IP posting about its chords, so I naturally assumed that the page received basically no traffic. I changed its classification from "soft rock" to "rock" because I don't see how this song can be classified as "soft". I'm not sure why a reference would be necessary for that; are Eagles songs just automatically classified as soft rock?
I'm very interested to hear your perspective on the matter. Kurtis (talk) 04:54, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi Doctorhawkes. Just wondering why you would delete the names of R.W Miller & Sir Roderick Miller from the Notable Persons list? Wiki discourages the removal of red links for the sake of it, and they were held in high esteem by Balmain locals and their workers. Even after moving to Vaucluse they remained big Tigers supporters and Sir Rod was a regular down at the sailing club until his death. If the list wasn't alphabetical they should have been at the top of the list. Good people. That's just from personal knowledge of course, but sources were given originally. Theirishslave (talk) 09:54, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
Your not authorised to censor pages or delete information just because it is not in line with your ideology. If there are mistakes, correct them. if there are not leave them alone. If they have an entry in the Australian Dictionary of Biography, I would suggest that trumps your knowledge as to whether that person is notable or not.Theirishslave (talk) 00:09, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
Not sure I agree with you on your reason for removing Aussiejed's addition of the I, Tonya trailer to the "25 or 6 to 4" page. IndieWire called the movie a "breakout biopic" and said there was no "buzzier title" at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival. The cast of "I, Tonya" received an ensemble award at the 2017 Hollywood Film Awards. In advertising this movie, I do think it is notable that the song "25 or 6 to 4" figures so prominently in the trailer. I think the song was carefully chosen for the trailer - I presume it is in the movie soundtrack - and several published reports about the trailer mention the song. This is already a movie of some note, and "25 or 6 to 4" is being used to promote it to the general public.Curious405 (talk) 21:43, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi Doctorhawkes,
I recently removed a photo of someone on the Jesus Christians page which you subsequently reverted saying that wikipedia doesn't require permission to upload photos however this is what I read: " Commons respects the legal rights of the subjects of our photographs and has a moral obligation to behave ethically with regard to photographs of people... The subject's consent is usually needed for publishing a photograph of an identifiable individual taken in a private place, and Commons expects this even if local laws do not require it.... Because of the expectation of privacy, the consent of the subject should normally be sought before uploading any photograph featuring an identifiable individual that has been taken in a private place, whether or not the subject is named. Even in countries that have no law of privacy, there is a moral obligation on us not to upload photographs which infringe the subject's reasonable expectation of privacy."
I think the above makes it clear that permission is the most ethical course of action, and considering that someone (Ross777/Wikipeggar) is making edits that are largely based on personal issues and not to improve the page, including a photo of someone whom they are trying to turn people against shouldn't be allowed considering the circumstances. I'm not totally up on wiki protocols but I request that you not allow the photo again in future. Thanks for your time.Frog Manz (talk) 14:25, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi Dr H, Most of the photos used are not private locations, or taken in a private place, but public places. The editor above cannot complain about photos taken in public places, as "a right to privacy" otherwise newspapers around the country would be in a great deal of legal trouble. Your comments on recent developments would be welcome on the Jesus Christian talk page as soon as is convenient because advice from experienced editors would help there.Wholetruth (talk) 19:04, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

in cutting folks out of the Nogales, Arizona article. Although they might all be red links they are also all referenced and are probably best left there.

Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 00:57, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
Listen mate, I understand that you're a proud Australian patriot and would like to see as much local representation as possible, but that list has a very precise and interesting purpose that you are disrupting with examples that are merely anecdotal mentions or act as a setting in songs that about something completely different than the city itself. It's in the bloody description: The specific problem is: The page should only contain songs which have been specifically written about a city. Tell me, are the lyrics "don't get extortion threats from the Coffs Harbour saloon" about Coffs Harbour, or about Russell Crowe? The same applies to every other listing I've deleted.
Otherwise why stop there? Just add all of these: I've Been Everywhere, that'll be fun and informative.

It's not a poem as concieved, and 2. Niemöller is listed as an outspoken opponent of the Nazis from the beginning being somewhat inaccurate. There is a small neutrality concern, but I feel that's been explained. Is it okay if I ask what now? There are other entries on the talk page that point out that it's not a poem in the classic sense, but there were no responses to those at all. Or to the ones which were called offtopic.

I've added a source for my note about the gore and violence in Crossed_(comics)#Crossed:_Badlands_(Volumes_4–17), to support my edit that the level depicted is notable: [[2]]
It is in the nature of the overall low level analysis of comics media that it is hard to find authoritative comments and review, however perhaps you can also see from these [[3]], [[4]] and the Avatar_Press WKP article that there is general agreement in the comics/graphics novel community that the independent Avatar Press is well-known for being a publishing house that 'pushes the envelope' in what is shown in comics, that further, Crossed is typical of an Avatar comicbook that shows exceptionally violent scenes [[5]] (note second sentence), and finally note that the Crossed Badlands volumes are the Crossed stories most illustrative of this tendency (majority of the scenes mentioned in this latter link are from the Badlands stories).
My conclusion is that the levels of gore and violence are a notable factor of this comic, and Badlands in particular, and it is therefore worth mentioning. Centrepull (talk) 09:38, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello - I been working on citations for List of songs that retell a work of literature for the past week or so, and it is a lengthy but enjoyable process. I have noticed that you have removed several listings, such as this one, which was
"Holland 1945" is a Neutral Milk Hotel song about The Diary of Anne Frank.
and you noted that the song is not a retelling. There is at least one reliable source (Newsweek) that suggests that it is, or at least that it is close enough to be included on the list:
"But this particular songwriter was Jeff Mangum, the singer and chief creative force behind indie-rock outfit Neutral Milk Hotel. Mangum's fascination with Anne Frank's story resulted in the band's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, one of the most beloved and unusual cult albums of the late 20th century. If you've set foot on a liberal arts college in the past two decades, you've heard it. Songs like "Holland, 1945" and "Ghost" resurrect Frank's story with an odd mix of historical detail and hysterical longing."
So what I want to propose is this - What if we add a section on the talk page, where if there are particularly questionable entries, we can cut them from the main page and list them on the talk page, until such time as citations can be researched and (if needed) consensus can be reached on their inclusion or exclusion.
Do you have any thoughts on that? (We can post this exchange on the pertinent talk page, as well.)

Hi Doctorhawkes, could you explain the reason for undoing the edit on the Lloyd Cole Bio page please? Just a bit confused, the current image doesn't appear to be very representative of the artist, is it that you prefer that image to the professional portrait I uploaded or have I transgressed a rule of editing? I'd just like to clear this up so I don't make the same mistake the same mistake again, KR and peace, Turbo
Hi DrHawkes, thanks for the prompt response. The reason I included the link I did when I uploaded the portrait was at the bottom of that page Mr Cole says Take any photo you’d like – Click on the photo and choose JPG or TIFF to download. Make a note of the photographer. Credit the photographer if you reproduce it in any commercial venture, even your weblog. If the TIFF comes in a folder with a covering letter, please read it and don’t reproduce the photo anywhere until you have come to an arrangement with the photographer. OK? LC It's not in a folder with a covering letter and is availanle for use as long as the photographer is credited, which I did. Do you require further confirmation from Mr Dellas or Mr Cole that use of the photograph is permitted? KR & peace,. Turbo
Hi DrHawkes, OK, I think I'm getting somewhere now :) I've now edited the Permission section of Information and also the licensing with the same statement. Do you think that will be sufficient. Thanks again for your help, I'm trying not to take up too much of your time, I just want to get this right peace, Turbo PS I now have permission form Mark Dellas to use the image too via email, Ive added it to a category I 'think' Ive done everyhthing

Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia, written and edited by users. As a user, I have a perfect right to change the profile picture on the Lou Reed page, in this case, reverting it back to a famous and well-known image of Reed that was already there (before you or whoever else changed it). Such an edit is in no way "unconstructive" or "disruptive." What is your logic for such a comment? If anything, you're the one being unconstructive and disruptive, by making such a comment and by threatening me with the possibility of being blocked from editing on Wikipedia. Perhaps I was a bit glib in my comment about Lou Reed looking "old" in the other image; however, I do think the image of Reed as a young man represents his style and legacy more accurately than your choice, and unless you are able to satisfactorily justify your edit, then I will continue to revert it, within Wikipedia's guidelines of acceptable editing. BTW, Wikipedia isn't a "democracy"; edits aren't made by "vote." A user can edit an article as many times as he wants as long as he has a legitimate reason for doing so, and as long as he follows Wikipedia's policies. So regardless of whether you are able to convince your little community of friends on Wikipedia ("other users") to agree with your position, my editing will continue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jescoromas (talk • contribs) 10:58, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Can you please explain why you reverted the cover song entry that I added in today for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_on_Mars_(song)#Covers. Your undo commit doesn't have any notes explaining why. If I didn't format something properly, I'd like to learn from my mistake. Also if something was incorrect, why not just correct it? I made sure that the Youtube video citation followed the rules, well to the best I could understand them. It was a video directly posted by the singer's account and it was their official release of the cover. Also if it would follow the citation rules better, the cover was officially released on an album called Girls, Volume 3 (music from the HBO Original Series), song #9. Amazon.com - Girls, Vol. 3 (Music From The HBO Original Series).
Further, this artist Aurora has 3 full albums on Spotify, is credited on the soundtrack for Frozen 2, has a song with 178million views on Spotify, has had multiple songs on Norway's national music chart. Also has an approved wiki page as a singer, which I linked right at the beginning of the entry. That appears to meet many criteria for notable musicians. So I hope that is not the justification. As far as the individual recording, it's on Spotify, buyable through various major retail music sites, and definitely meets criteria #5, 'a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show'. It's on a released album for the HBO TV show Girls. The link I provided on Amazon above.
I think I understand now, that your edit linked to WP:SONGCOVER. So your claim is that it doesn't meet the criteria there. Sorry still learning the ins and outs. So let's look at the criteria there,
"the rendition is discussed by a reliable source, showing that it is noteworthy in its own right."
If nothing else, I see no difference between the entry I proposed and the 2019 one from Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross which was exactly the same situation, a cover used on an HBO show, in that case Watchmen. Which just links to a pitchfork.com article. So would an acceptable revision of my post be to cite one or more of these sources above instead of the Youtube video directly?
Thanks for any info you can provide. Brandon J Williams (talk) 04:29, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Aftermath
In the aftermath, Kasso bragged about the murder to friends. Kasso claimed Satan manifested in the form of a black crow after killing Lauwers, and that the crow had cawed; something he interpreted as Satan's approval of the murder. Kasso even brought several disbelieving teens to view Lauwers' body before he and Troiano returned to the woods to bury the decomposing remains in a shallow grave. However, it wasn't until two weeks went by, on July 1, that the murder was reported to the police via an anonymous tip. On July 4, 1984, police used dogs to search Aztakea Woods and recovered the decomposing and mutilated body of Gary Lauwers. Kasso and Troiano were arrested the next day. On July 7, Kasso committed suicide by hanging himself in his jail cell.
Jimmy Troiano signed two confessions that he later recanted. Quinones gave witness account that Troiano helped Kasso during the murder, but later denied this during his testimony at Troiano's trial. Due to Quinones' drugged state at the time of the killing, his testimony was brought into question and Troiano was acquitted of second-degree murder in a trial by jury in April 1985.

How is my editing disruptive with Jesus He Knows Me is a rock song? I didn’t put any subgenre of Rock, I just put rock.

The reason I removed it is because the statement, as worded, implies that the school is racist because their student body is 5% while the local population is 28%. That's a conclusion not supported by the refs, which are bare stats. If there were a secondary source that supported claims of the school being racist and that was the reason for the disparity, then fine. Otherwise, it doesn't belong as it is a synthesis to draw an inferred conclusion not supported by the stats. We could just as well synthesize the conclusion that they aren't racist because their % of Asian students vs. the community is 5 times that of the community. But, that's not in the article, nor should it be. Neither should be the inferred conclusion they remain racist. It's not supported by any secondary refs. --Hammersoft (talk) 02:20, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

I'm writing to ask why you reverted my edits identifying Cliff Richard and The Shadows as the original artist and Ian Samwell as the writer of the song "Dynamite" - the B-side of the 1959 No. 1 UK single "Travellin' Light"
While Brenda Lee did release a song called "Dynamite" in 1957 written by Mort Garson and Tom Glazer that gave her the nickname, "Little Miss Dynamite", it is not the song that Dave Edmunds covered
Thanks!
LutherMayhem (talk) 16:10, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
Gotcha - so the album credits are wrong (not the first time that has ever happened) - if you look closely at the album credits picture you referenced, the credit is actually listed as "Mort/Carson/Glazer" - is it possible to put a note in the entry to indicate that the album credit is wrong?
If you look at the Wikipedia entry for Ian Samwell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Samwell), it mentions that he wrote "Dynamite" as well as some other songs for Cliff Richard (including "Move It", Cliff's first hit record)
A quick listen to the songs verifies that Dave Edmunds covered the Cliff Richard song and not the Brenda Lee song
Dave Edmunds version:

Hello there. I noticed on several pages of various songs and albums on the site that don't have a genre section and instead replaced by an edit text saying that you should add sources to put in a genre. But sometimes it doesn't make any sense when like for example a rock song charted on the mainstream rock charts yet the infobox doesn't say a genre when it's clearly obvious what the style of music is. Also, when finding sources to a genre that I know about a song to, I've been having trouble trying to find a good source to finding citations for a song in a specific style. There are sites like Discogs and AllMusic, yet, sometimes the info is incomplete, while other places like RateYourMusic is a depreciated source. I do like to name a genre of music for a certain song that I like to the correct genre, but I need some help trying to find some recommended good sites to source a genre of music for a song or an album. 70Jack90 (talk) 22:08, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
Your reason for reverting my removal of the "juggernaut power ballad" comment was that "it is sourced", as if everything that is ever printed is accurate.

Hey there. You may already know my history of editing rugby league articles and that is my main purpose.

Hi there,
You removed the popular culture section I added to The Wanderer (Dion song); however, I think it should stay. This song was prominently featured in the series Lost Girl, in which it was a significant plot point spanning 3 seasons and was the basis for a character within the show. Its presence in Fallout 4, alluded to in another section regarding legal action taken by the artist as a result, is also significant as it remained part of the published game despite the controversy. I understand that popular culture sections should be used sparingly and should not function as a list of places that a song can be found, however, these cases rise above that standard and reflect truly notable uses. (And if the concern was simply lack of citations, why remove the entire section instead of adding a "citation needed" tag?) Littlemisssunshine22 (talk) 06:00, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
Why did you revert my edit with no discussion? Did you read what I put on the talk page about it? I don't want an edit war situation. What do you think justifies having such a large section about a cover version of the song? That should be on the band's own page should it not?

I've asked you for the reason you reverted. I noticed in your comment you said I reverted it just because I didn't like it. I didn't say I didn't like it. Whether or not I like it hasn't got anything to do with anything. You don't get to revert it because you think you know why and you don't like it.

Good afternoon, Doctorhawkes. I am here to explain why I felt the Cobra Kai passage in the 'Mony Mony' article was notable.
1) Johnny Lawrence is regularly outspoken about his love for 80's culture, from his music taste to the way he speaks, and the song was part of his teenage life during the 80's.
2) The song's inclusion in the scene was part of the show's running gag because in the part where a teenage clientele told Johnny to play a Billie Eilish song, he plays Billy Idol's 'Mony Mony' instead, tying into the fact that he does not conform much to modern day culture. If I read in the sources that the song did not have a significance to the character's life, I wouldn't have made the edit.
3) The Cobra Kai show is a part of pop culture, as it is a direct continuation of the popular Karate Kid movie franchise, and I made sure that I didn't make the edit outside of the "use in popular culture" section.
4) I made sure both the sources were reliable by checking the "About Us" pages of the sites and the profiles of the source authors. I found no signs of user-generated content, as users are only allowed to read articles and sign up for the newsletters, and the source authors are experienced journalists. I understand that there shouldn't be too many pop culture references in an article, but I managed to find one that had reliable sources.
If what I did was wrong, I appreciate the help in fixing any faults. Is there any advice I should keep in mind for the next time I attempt to add a new passage to an article? I'm also considering adding genres to song/album articles on Wikipedia based on genre listings on AllMusic, as opposed to just using the AllMusic reviews which were previously considered unreliable.

Your recent editing history at Template:Manly Warringah Sea Eagles current squad shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

You've ignored the message I sent you on my own talk page so I came here to ask you stop sending me these blocking messages, you're not an admin so I don't know what's the point of going through various users pages and warning them about getting blocked. It seems like you have a problem with newcomers as you don't revert edits by users such as Romiori who didn't provide any source for recording date on "Queen" album or other users who didn't provide any source on Sheer Heart Attack page for recording date, this is clear that you have a problem with new users. I also removed Queensongs.info as a source cause I don't want to get involved in an edit war. Progrock70s (talk) 07:13, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

I thought I would just bring to your attention that Random League Fan is still going against the MOS:SEAOFBLUE policy and are adding locations of birth of players where there is no reference to support that information. They are also changing team names in articles and messing up a few info boxes. I can see that they have been warned before by yourself but they still do it.

Hello. I see that you deleted mentions of OST appearances for the song "Two Tribes" on the basis that there is "no indication of notability" or "reliable sources". I will work to add more formal sources when I can find them (possibly from IMDb soundtrack listings) to the mentions of feature films, and I will delete the mentions of TV episodes whose notability may be debatable. However, you have also suppressed the mention of the post-Cold War film, Final Score, which features well known actors and where use of the song was cited from a journalistic article. So I would appreciate if you could detail why you find it non-notable, and which of the other appearances you find non-notable, as several are from widely seen feature films.

Hiya, you edited my contribution to "It's My Life" with regards to the song being pop-metal. How is Apple Music, and by extension, Itunes. AKA the biggest music provider in the world not a reliable source for such things. If there is a list of approved sources, could you please link?
This may be worth a discussion page on the article itself?

Hello Doctorhawkes,
I noticed you reverted the changes for the picture I uploaded onto the Reece Walsh page. Why is this? It had appropriate referencing to the Brisbane Broncos website?
I'm not mad at all, just a bit confused.🙂

Hello Doctorhawkes. I am an editor at the Hebrew Wikipedia for several years. Israeli rock is a term and not a genre. In the Hebrew Wikipedia, the genre is changed from "Israeli rock" to "rock" also on pages of other Israeli rock bands. UserFlash (talk) 09:21, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, Rainbow's debut album, had "The Temple of the King" song. I added Turkish cover by Müslüm Gürses as "Affet" in on his album "Aşk Tesadüfleri Sever" with reliable reference. Why you reverted my edit about Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow ? Now, I wait for an explanation from you. What should I do to get it accepted ? Cemsentin1 (talk) 23:27, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi again, more of a general question than the specific one already discussed at Talk:Tweed_Heads,_New_South_Wales#"Evidence_of_notability"_needed_for_a_statement? , although obviously related... You appear to indicate (forgive me if I am wrong) that individual statements regarding the subject matter within an article have to be notable, in addition to the subject of the article itself; or they may be removed by some future editor, rather than (e.g.) just tagged "citation needed" if unsourced. However according to Wikipedia:Notability#Notability_requires_verifiable_evidence this is not actually true, namely: "The notability guideline does not apply to the contents of articles. ... Content coverage within a given article or list (i.e. whether something is noteworthy enough to be mentioned within the article or list) is governed by the principle of due weight, balance, and other content policies." I just mention this because on articles that I have worked on to date, I have tended to rely on some "editorial gut feeling" as to whether a particular statement is worthy of inclusion - in other words, do I feel it adds value to the article and/or is likely to add to the reader's knowledge - rather than looking for the usual 3 or more secondary sources (of course if they exist, so much the better).
As an example: recently I came upon some auction records which indicated that 2 items by the Italian sculptor, Antonio Montauti had sold at auction in 2009. I looked at the wikipedia article on that sculptor and found that those 2 items had previously been listed as "now lost", so I went to that page and added them as "recently surfaced at the Christie's auction house", with relevant citation/s. In my mind this is just an interesting fact that adds value to that Wikipedia article (my judgement as an editor); I did not think I required 1, 2 or 3 secondary sources confirming that judgement before making the addition. I could go on of course, but you will get the idea.
Just wondering if you would care to comment on this aspect of WP article content - no agenda here, just happy to hear your opinion, which perhaps differs from mine (or maybe not) - the latter formed over a period since 2006 (first article created) and some 7,000+ edits to date, including +/- 50 articles created from scratch... (not trying to prove anything here except that I am perhaps a moderately experienced editor).

If you clearly listen to the Edmunds's recording of this song, he finishes off the list of artists at 1:30 in the recording and plainly says "Bob Dylan." Listen to the recording before you change an edit. jowston (talk) 16:51, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
Hello,
writing in relation to the amendments to Hayley Raso’s Wikipedia page. As noted in the recent deletion, the info on her private life is factually incorrect and defamatory.
From the article that has been referenced you can see that her info is not included in there as it was factually incorrect. Would you please refrain from adding that info otherwise we will need to escalate this above.
