[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. I have noticed that some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Young Americans (album), have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you to seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. Also, please avoid making uncivil remarks at Wikipedia, as you did in this edit summary. Thank you. Dan56 (talk) 18:32, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

The article The Six Teens (song) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Just another album track.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

- "Just another album track"?! The Six Teens was released as a single, and it did chart in several countries, man!
License tagging for File:Little Willy.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Little Willy.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:05, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Little Willy (song), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Poison (band) (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Disco-rock
[edit]Hello Te og kaker,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Disco-rock for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Sulfurboy (talk) 03:12, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

The Calling music sound?
[edit]I see you edit the page of The Calling. We all got different opinions on things but you have to remember that I put a reliable source and the source states that, The Calling is largely filled with post-grunge rock. Also, you said that the song Unstoppable is the only pure post-grunge song in Camino Palmero. Which is not because pure post-grunge songs are in Adrienne, Thank You, and Nothing Changed. As for Two you stated that Two features no grunge influences at all, you are kind of wrong because even though Two is not as Post-grunge as Camino Palmero, it has a few of post-grunge influences such as One By One. So I am going change your edit but if you have any questions ask me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikeis1996 (talk • contribs) 18:46, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Vietnam War. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Darkness Shines (talk) 04:43, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi! I saw you restored Who Is Jo King? to an article (from a redirect) with an edit summary pointing out that "the article does exist". While this is true, as you're probably aware Wikipedia articles need more than simply to exist – they need to be notable. In this case the relevant notability guideline is WP:NALBUMS. I don't think the album is notable – I'm looking for things like news articles and reviews in reliable sources, but I can't find any – but if you think it is and know of any sources the article could use you should add them in. If you also can't find any then I'll return it to a redirect in a few days. Let me know if you have any questions. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 05:40, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
English?
[edit]Hi Te og kaker. Could you please learn at least elementary school level English? For example; the difference between "to" and "too". Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.113.95.90 (talk) 16:18, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
- Nope. ;) I don't care very much about my English in edit summaries. Edit summaries have to be as short as possible, and that's more important than writing perfect English. Also, I often use my iPad and iPhone to edit Wikipedia, and iPads and iPhones have autocorrect programs who "correct" words they believe are wrong - and these autocorrect programs often "correct" words who are written correctly as well. I don't know were I wrote "to" instead of "too" or vice versa, but I guess that if I did, I was editing from iPhone or iPad.(By the way: this is the funniest comment that someone has ever posted on my talk page. Thank you very much!) :) Te og kaker (talk) 19:26, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
- I guess that you was thinking of this article. I can tell you why it says "try a little to much". That's a typo. No more advanced than that. --Te og kaker (talk) 19:28, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Wig-Wam Bam.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

- what? Checking whether my edit to A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour is correct or not, isn't really rocket science. All you have to do is go to the articles about their other tours in order to check how long they lasted and how many shows were played. Threatening with a block because I added a sentence which does not, in fact, need an external source is an insult and abuse of power. It is comparable to demanding a source for the fact that David Gilmour was a Pink Floyd member. --Te og kaker (talk) 00:49, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
- I didn't say it was incorrect, I said it was unsourced. - FlightTime (open channel) 00:57, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
- And I happen to disagree about the need for an external source saying exactly what I wrote in the article. I am quite sure I can find a source, but I honestly don't think it is necessary for such a simple statement. In my opinion, the tour dates listed in the articles about this and other PF tours are sufficient. But that's just my opinion. Anyway, I believe there are ways of discussing this that are more subtle than threats. I find it provocative to receive a block threat for a well-intended edit. You could just have left a subtle message asking for a source. --Te og kaker (talk) 01:12, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

- Did you seriously expect me to answer at 5 o clock in the morning? I just can't believe that you seriously did. I have now replied to your file on the dispute resolution board, and see no reason to elaborate further here. --Te og kaker (talk) 22:53, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

RSN Comment
[edit]Re this comment, which is entirely devoted to attacking other editors,would you kindly remove it? Coretheapple (talk) 22:14, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- I came here to say the same thing; throwing out accusations like that is entirely unacceptable, and you should strike or remove that comment. BilledMammal (talk) 00:11, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- That comment is completely inappropriate. Please do not make another comment stabbing other editors again. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:11, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- What is so "inappropriate" about this comment? It is simply an explanation of the guideline WP:IDONTLIKEIT, which was very appropriate in this context, because the only argument used by certain users for deprecating the aforementioned source was that it published things contrary to the propaganda of the Israeli government, which is not by any means considered a valid reason for deprecation. I am just explaining that it does not work that way. I mean, just take a look at the discussion, the arguments used by one side of it, the use of highly unreliable sources (including a neo-nazi website, referenced by the thread starter several times in the discussion), and inflammatory language. You could take a look at the contributions of the accounts as well; at least recently, almost all of their edits has been edits and discussions to promote a pro-Israeli agenda. These are clearly editors who are here for promoting a political agenda rather than contributing, and I personally also suspect that at least a couple of the accounts involved in that discussion were sockpuppets of the same user considering the very similar interests and the same battleground approach to discussion. So what, Mr. ScottishFinnishRadish, is your reasoning behind obliterating my vote, while allowing those of users who used highly inflammatory language in this discussion (including groundless personal attacks against me, btw) to stay there? --Te og kaker (talk) 20:32, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- If you review my recent activity you'll find that I do look into many editors in the topic area and give a large number of warnings, as well as placing numerous blocks and topic bans.
- Your !vote was an attack on other editors, not a comment on the reliability of the source. If you believe there is sockpuppetry go to WP:SPI, and if you believe there has been disruptive editing take it to WP:AE, an uninvolved admin, or WP:ANI. Do not cast unevidenced aspersions on other editors, including accusing them of being part of Israeli propaganda efforts, pushing a political agenda, or violating WP:NPOV.

Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
