Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the 
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.Sincerely, Jax 0677 (talk) 23:49, 17 July 2013 (UTC) (Leave me a message)
Up in the Air (film)[edit]
I noticed that you made an edit to Up in the Air (film). Unfortunately, as you may have notice already, your edit had no effect. That is because "lighting" is not one of the keywords for Template:Infobox film. Also, out of curiousity, is the IMDb entry (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0834955/) for Christopher C. Strong wrong for Up in the Air? They give his credit as a gaffer for this film. --Dan Dassow (talk) 06:45, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
Gaffer is head of lighting dept.

Disambiguation link notification for April 28[edit]
Hi. When you recently edited Devolved (band), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Machine Head (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.

Hi there. When making changes to articles, please provide sources supporting the change. Please see WP:REFB for more help with this. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 17:10, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
- Based on this edit it looks like you still do not understand how to add references. Again, it's really important that you learn how to do this, its the foundation for the whole website. It's not about me "paying attention" it's about you learning how to properly edit. When you make changes, this is your responsibility. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 18:53, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

September 2015[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. I have noticed that some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Earthsblood, 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 seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. Thank you. Robvanvee 05:33, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to Kill the Flaw, without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you. Robvanvee 07:32, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
| This user is new to Wikipedia. Please assume good faith, remain civil, and be calm, patient, helpful, and polite while they become accustomed to Wikipedia and its intricacies. |
- In an attempt to comply with your above request, I'm saying this: you would be wise to read the above warnings on genre changes. I put them there for a reason. Wikipedia has certain rules regarding this and with good reason. Imagine everyone was able to put their own interpretation into genre's. Find a reliable source that explicitly states said genre and feel free to add it. Do you need help adding references? If so read Referencing for beginners. Shout if you need help.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

November 2015[edit]
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to change genres without discussion or sources, as you did at 1994–2006 Chaos Years, you may be blocked from editing. Robvanvee 15:37, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
Final warning - unsourced changes to genre[edit]
It looks like I, and other editors, have been warning you about making unsourced changes to music genre for over a year now. You're out of warnings - if I catch you doing this again, you're blocked from editing on the spot. Learn how to do this, or stop. Or, you get blocked. Sergecross73 msg me 01:16, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
Blocked[edit]
You are blocked from editing for 3 days for ignoring a whole years worth of warnings about unsourced changes to Wikipedia, especially music genre. Your block is due to edits like this, though, as I've warned you before, adding citations in edit summaries is not the right way to add citations either. Again, please see WP:REFB. If you can copy/paste a link in an edit summary, surely you can copy/paste a link into reference brackets in an article. Just copy/paste the link in between <ref> </ref> and add it to the article at the end of the sentence or idea you're citing. That's all there is too it. I can understand not getting it at first, but there's no reason for us to be having this conversation a whole year later. If you need help, ask me, or someone else. If you keep making unsourced changes, you'll keep getting blocked though, for increasingly longer periods of time. Sergecross73 msg me 18:25, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

February 2017[edit]
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you change genres in pages without discussion or sources. Please see WP:RSN www.metal-archives.com is not a reliable source. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:21, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
Blocked[edit]
You are blocked once again for making unsourced genre changes, per your prior warnings and blocks about this. As I said before, if you're going to add content, you need to learn how to add references. This time it's 2 weeks, but it's going to get longer if you keep doing this. Sergecross73 msg me 13:35, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
- As you were warned and even blocked for in the past, you need to learn how to add sources if you want to add content to Wikipedia. Its very simple. Click on this text right here to learn how. It's not optional though. Adding a link in the edit summary is not an appropriate alternative - as time passes, that falls deep into the article's page history. It's hard to dig up and see what it applies to. The source/reference needs to be placed in the article.
- Its very easy to do. You can even ask me for help. So there's no excuse to keep ignoring the warnings. Your account is going to be blocked again if you continue to do this. 12:42, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- Is there a reason why you’re still not doing this? Your account is blocked until you successfully demonstrate that you know how to add sources to Wikipedia. The directions are directly above. But there’s no excuse for editing for years and still not knowing how to do this basic, fundamental aspect of the website. Sergecross73 msg me 20:47, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
