Exciter information

Hi FMSky, I am currently trying to update wikis with up-to-date information, and the exciter album Exciter has false information. I've found nothing through Discogs that showed the album was reissued as O.T.T. or that the track "Termination" was a bonus track; It was present on all releases. https://www.discogs.com/master/301979-Exciter-Exciter If you have any concrete proof like a photo of the original track listing without "Termination" or proof it was retitled as O.T.T. please show me. Thanks for your time. Kingofstillport (talk) 20:32, July 19, 2022 (UTC)

@Kingofstillport: Hi, like already stated in my revert, the title is correct, see https://www.allmusic.com/album/ott-mw0000656446 - discogs is btw not a reliable source. --FMSky (talk) 20:38, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Rationale (musician)

Hi, he is described twice in the prose as a songwriter. Also as most songs nowadays are co-written where is the guidance on making the song-writer distinction? Atlantic306 (talk) 20:41, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Joel McIver

Hi FMSky, I am Joel McIver and I occasionally update the bibliography on my page. Is this acceptable? 2A00:23C6:A81:A001:7005:3E21:F62F:3BCA (talk) 05:58, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi, this is all stated under WP:COI, but generally speaking, it is discouraged. --FMSky (talk) 06:12, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. I'm simply updating the book list, not adding any other material. Given that, does the template message have to stay, or can it be removed? 2A00:23C6:A81:A001:7005:3E21:F62F:3BCA (talk) 07:32, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi FMSky, I've removed the COI template again, having read the WP:COI guidance about what constitutes reasonable grounds for its removal. I haven't added any info other than bibliographical data to keep the entry up to date and will continue to do so. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. 2A00:23C6:A81:A001:7005:3E21:F62F:3BCA (talk) 07:55, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Super Cat

Sugar Ray’s “Fly” was not a number one hit. It was never released as a commercial single. Back then,that was the criteria to enter the Billboard Hot 100. Smokiewight (talk) 18:22, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

I have made no assumptions. That is fact.Look it up on Billboard.com and how is it random? Smokiewight (talk) 22:44, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

@Smokiewight: That was about another guy's comment. I have already corrected the edit in the Super Cat article --FMSky (talk) 22:45, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

Irrelevant?

[1]

Per your edit summary, your suggestion that he was born in the Falklands is irrelevant, seems to show a remarkable lack of knowledge about the subject, since that is what he actually known for. I'm not going to indulge you in an edit war but per WP:BRD I would strongly suggest that you self-revert and take your issue to the talk page. WCM_email 10:23, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

I should have clarified, it is not notable for the opening sentence, see MOS:LEADSENTENCE ---FMSky (talk) 10:31, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

I disagree with your interpretation of the MOS and I don't see your changes as improving the article. Again I'm going to ask you to self-revert whilst there is a discussion. WCM_email 10:36, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Assist page

Hello. Please don't revert my edition. The statistics are completely true and I have a lot of information about assist statistics; so I can even make the list better. You can see the sources. 10Blaugrana10 (talk) 00:38, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

@10Blaugrana10: the sites "messi.com" and "messivsronaldo.app" aren't reliable sources --FMSky (talk) 00:42, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

They are reliable and famous. Their statistics are true. But if you have problems with them, I will replace them with other sources. 10Blaugrana10 (talk) 00:47, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

FMSky is right. By Wikipedia definitions, messivsronaldo.app is very likely not a reliable source. Messi's official website is not independent; see WP:SELFSOURCE. Also, your use of Youtube videos in this change is WP:Original research. Please familiarise yourself with Wikipedia's sourcing requirements. Robby.is.on (talk) 01:02, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Filk music

Filk is by no means an exclusively U.S. phenomenon; I live in the States, and the two most recent filks I participated in were both in England. --Orange Mike | Talk 00:17, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Can I ask you a question

Why is David Jason a comedian and not just an actor and Sylvester McCoy is just an actor? Thanks. Rodericksilly (talk) 16:09, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Should probably be removed there too, i didn't even notice it. --FMSky (talk) 16:12, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

the Disney ride page

I wasn’t vandalizing it I was adding that so Megadeth fans who got to the page on accident can go to where they want to Ytzesza (talk) 12:36, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Privated vs privatised in the Dodie page

You have recently reverted my edit changing privatised to privated. Privatised is typically defined as "transfer (a business, industry, or service) from public to private ownership and control". This is not what has happened here. Privated may not be a word in dictionaries, but it is a word used to describe the action of making a video private, making it a useful distinction from privatised, and a more accurate word in that sentence. Note the wiktionary page https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/private#Verb here it describes the use of the word private as a verb (as compared to privatise) to make something private. The past tense version given is privated. So whilst the standard dictionaries may not have caught up, the word privated is a word that is used, and is more accurate in this situation Farleigheditor (talk) 17:41, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Rangeblock

I just rangeblocked this range for unsourced edits. I noticed that you had reverted them a few times across a number of their IPs, so I thought you may be interested in case you wanted to spot check some of their remaining edits. No worries if not.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:11, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Dan Wilson page changes

why was the photo changed? we manage the page Jgm mgt (talk) 18:01, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

thanks for that info, the page was tagged accordingly (WP:COI). also, just because "you manage the page" doesn't mean other people arent allowed to edit it. --FMSky (talk) 18:19, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

@Ytzesza: Hi, you just need to click on insert the link and click 'generate' --FMSky (talk) 00:15, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you man Ytzesza (talk) 01:53, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Edit War

You serious? You violated 3RR, not me. I gave you a chance, but looks like you're not listening. Going to have to report you now.--Valkyrie Red (talk) 23:42, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
