Advice again please

Hey Binksternet. Sorry to keep making you my go-to guy but I need some advice. I was patrolling my watchlist and came across some edits by a new registered user adding genre's and recording dates which I reverted and left a message on the users page explaining they need to be sourced. When I got back to my P.C. a while later all my edits relating to this editor had been reverted by user : Mlpearc. He reinstated the unsourced information and left me 3 rather ugly warnings in very quick succession on my talk page, which is in no way assuming good faith. To date the information remains unsourced and while I have asked for an explanation on my and his talk page the only response I have been able to get out of him is "don't feed". I was looking at his talk page and I see this has happened before. Anyone can see I only edit constructively and while my edits are barely passed 7000, my track record is good. Please could you look at these edits and advise me as to what can be done about this. Much appreciated man! Robvanvee 16:34, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

FWIW, I also asked MusikAnimal what he thinks (being an admin and all) but would still value your input. Robvanvee 16:41, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

The IP is from Campo Grosso, Brazil. That place has given us other many other IP addresses, all doing the same unsourced musical genre stuff. I applaud your removal of this person's changes. Binksternet (talk) 02:11, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you Binksternet, I appreciate your support! Robvanvee 05:35, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Sub section

I wasn't trying to imply that any single commercially available driver was claiming to be the biggest "subwoofer [system]" there is, only that it relies on the overall build, and not a driver itself. If there were good references, I would word it better and add more to suggest that it comes down to mostly basic math and science, not how shiny the cone is or that there is a skull insignia on the amp or something. B137 (talk) 17:48, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Going on, the article overall is written in fairly commonspeak compared to other articles, especially in this subject. There are few equations, and it even mentions specific brand name drivers. I think it should make a few more connections to music, as long as it is written so easy to understand (i.e. ~41Hz=E1 bass note, 30Hz=Low B0, organ (double pedal C, officially?) is 16Hz which is C0, considered the bottom of the "lowest" "musical" octave, and handily given as an arbitrary tonal pitch limit). B137 (talk) 17:52, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

I don't comprehend the points you are trying to make. Your words here don't seem to connect to this removal of the section you added. Binksternet (talk) 23:00, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

The source is not strong enough to say this song is vaporwave. The source only says "it sounds a little like vaporwave." There are no other sources calling this song vaporwave, except ones that quote Wikipedia, so I don't see vaporwave as the song's genre. Binksternet (talk) 20:12, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war; according to the reverts you have made on Epoch Times. 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 that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. 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. Marvin 2009 (talk) 01:57, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Bauhaus is a Goth band primarily, not a Post-punk band

The talk page already has consensus that Bauhaus is a Goth band, it is Mezigue who constantly changes the page without giving proper references. Reference #29 on the Bauhaus page refers to Rolling Stone Magazine's assertion that Bauhaus is a Goth band. You made an improper reverting of my changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.83.143.151 (talk) 05:48, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

January 2016

Hello, Binksternet. You recently undid my edits on sound level meter and microphone. Let me assure you that the intention of the edits were not to promote any particular brand.

The sound level meter page is significantly lacking a description of the fundamentals of how a sound level meter works, and rather disjointedly jumps quickly into technical jargon. While these basics will certainly seem trivial to a expert such as you, we must not lose sight of the point of Wikipedia; to inform, and even the layman. You will notice that the text is free of any reference to brands. In order to demonstrate the concept of the conversion of air pressure to electrical signal through the diaphragm, I included a diagram. I might add that the diagram took a lot of time, thought and effort on my part. I used the only sound level meter I have at my disposal in the image.

On the microphone page there is a comparison of the frequency response of a Shure SM58 and one other mic. Directly below is the section on measurement microphones. It is certainly of interest to all to see the difference in the frequency response of a measurement microphone to a performance mic. Again I put a lot of effort in making the graph to the same scale as the existing graphs, and again I used the only data I have at my disposal. Side Note: I have five SM58 microphones of varying ages between 30 and 5 years old and the frequency response on all of them is remarkably comparable despite a few of the diaphragm sponges being almost completely disintegrated from use.

I have redone the edits and removed branding. If you have any suggestion how I can achieve the above without using pictures of branded instruments, please talk to me. Acousticator (talk) 08:25, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

I agree that your text is useful at the sound level meter article, however unreferenced it may be. The image, though, is promotional in that it places an NTi meter at the top. Binksternet (talk) 16:11, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

SCORPIONS: Tokyo Tapes (1978 live album)

Hello Binksternet!

I'm a fan and collector of this rock band. I have complete audience recordings of both these shows in my collection. Actually no one ever bothered to analyze or publicate the detailed information on the released recordings from this live album before. Even the official sources. Recently I analysed all officially released stuff from these shows and compared them to complete audience recordings from my collection. So this information is an exclusive and was researched by me. I decided to add this information to the album page on wiki. So the 'reliable source' for this information is two audience recordings from my collection and my ears.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmi80 (talk • contribs) 21:37, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Hey Bink, do you perhaps know where to find the word counter for articles? I'm interested to see how many words has Ride the Lightning.--Retrohead (talk) 09:58, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

There's a tool listed at Wikipedia:Did you know/DYKcheck. That tool reports the page having 2644 words of "readable prose", not counting the infobox, lists, or any sound/image file captions. Binksternet (talk) 13:24, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

This person is heading toward having their own Long-Term Abuse page. How tiresome to clean up after him or her. Binksternet (talk) 18:15, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Re their edits at List of deaths in rock and roll: The person concerned has edited that article a lot - and, in my view, most (in fact, almost all) of their edits there are positive and helpful. (I know there are separate problems around the referencing and content of that article, but that's a different and broader issue.) For instance, this edit - which you reverted - was, in itself, correct and unproblematic. I have not reverted many of their edits on that article. But, I'm also aware that once someone is identified as a vandal, there is a view that all their edits should be reverted on sight. The problem in this case is that the person concerned has never made any comment on their edits, either in edit summaries or talk pages, which makes their behaviour more difficult than usual to address. Personally, I'd be inclined towards letting their edits at List of deaths in rock and roll go (except where they are wrong, of course), but I can understand a different approach being taken. What is your view? Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:09, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

It's pretty common for an editor to have good edits in one area but problematic edits in another. A topic ban would be typically be imposed for the problem area, so that the positive area can be continued, but this editor uses multiple IPs, so the only thing that can stop the disruption is a rangeblock. Unfortunately, a rangeblock stops all editing. Binksternet (talk) 23:46, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Now That's What I Call Music

Please leave the article for Now That's What I Call Music! discography alone. It is not vandalism, you are the one vandalising it. You did the same thing on Now That's What I Call Music! 92 (UK series) by removing Now 93 from the chronology. It is not too soon to put up notability of Now 93. The album is due out in 5 weeks with the tracklist due in 3 weeks so please leave it alone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.173.207.128 (talk) 14:38, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

So why not list all the future compilations? Let's put 2017 in there, and 2018, and 2019.

I wouldn't go that far. Now that's over exaggerating. The point is, as soon as a new album has been announced like Now 93 has, then I believe it should go in the chronology. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.136.227.33 (talk) 13:26, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

You admit yourself that there is no tracklist available yet. Too soon! Wikipedia is built on WP:Reliable sources, not on unreferenced future events. Binksternet (talk) 04:43, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

By the editing history, I believe this IP is User:Hadji87, who often hides behind various IP addresses while editing various NOW albums and UK chart-related articles. He usually wants to be the first to post something, and does so without sources (although actual sources usually aren't far behind). ---Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 21:45, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Binksternet! As you gave me the welcome in 2015 and because I don't know no other one here, I would like to ask you something. I'm looking for Administrators here.

Anyway, this user has created some troubles in Spanish Wiki, and casually, I discovered he has created some puppets here too. I do not know why are being used puppets here, because it is supossed he has had no problems with his main account. It is a good question "why". Well, he has been using puppets in es:wiki, first for edit wars with other users, and then to avoid blockages. Both are here, Duquedearanjuez and Bradoman. He has stated in the Spanish Wiki that after three blocks in some weeks and all the problems he has created, he wanted to [re]start again. Goodwill and actions. Well, for beginning, he could have already notified that he has several puppets here, too. And that he has been using all of them. I say this because he has been translating some articles from en:wiki to es:wiki (and possibly reverse), and some of this articles I'm not quite sure about its neutrality. And because he has used the puppets to do just that, to impose his ideological stance in articles. I just wanted to report this situation, and to avoid the same problems here [again]..--Manuchansu (talk) 01:39, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Advice

Hey Bink. What to do about this guy? Hell bent on changing those genres regardless of the warnings, which by now are starting to become pointless. Any advice? Robvanvee 17:54, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

The 200 IP is the same location as the previous 190 IP: Special:Contributions/190.14.248.30. So the genre-warring behavior is a continuation by the same person. Binksternet (talk) 19:25, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

OK. Is it worth reporting to an admin? If so, who is approachable with this sort of thing? Robvanvee 19:39, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Not sure how much worth would be the reporting of this to an admin. Proving a long-term disruptive past would take me a long time. I don't have a lot of time right now. I think we are simply reverting this guy when he shows up. If he violates 3RR then we can get a block going, and that will ease future requests. Binksternet (talk) 21:45, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Got it! Much appreciated man. Robvanvee 05:51, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

House Music - The "Dub" issue returns...

I remember this cropping up before with andrewbf, but the IP addreses do not appear to be related to him in this case. Dub music has been inserted twice in recent days to the stylistic origins section of the house music page, and I do not think the sources measure up. In fact, I do not recall there being any recognised form of music called "dub" when house began, although I believe there might have been some early efforts that some now catagorize as such. I would be grateful if you would take a look at the house music history page when time permits.

All good wishes,

(Etheldavis (talk) 00:33, 18 February 2016 (UTC))

I've noticed this problem. In this edit, the London IP added dub to the origin of house music, citing a Routledge book. Previous to that, the article said dub was blended into house music starting in 1992. The book cite says that house music "absorbed" the sounds and techniques of dub, but the book does not place this development chronologically. So the book does not say that dub was part of the origin of house. Instead it says that "today" house contains elements of dub. The London-based IP is wrong in this instance. Binksternet (talk) 01:37, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, as always, for your speedy work. I have posted notes on the second IP address's Talk Page to appraise him/her of the relevant facts.

The Golden Echo

Hey, I want to talk about the page 'The Golden Echo' (album by Kimbra) that you edited earlier today. I got your point about 'pop' being the only genre describing the whole album. Everyone has always changed the genres as they liked for that album so I only wanted to put genres coming from reliable sources for once... Anyway after thinking about it I got to agree with you and I'm sorry for undoing your change in the first place. Now, I'm here because I need your opinion on some questions : First, do you think it is really relevant to keep 'pop' when there is already 'art pop'. I mean, since 'art pop' is a subgenre of 'pop', isn't an 'art pop' album also a 'pop' album implicitly ? Second, do you think it could be a good idea to put some of the genres mentioned in the infobox such as 'indie pop', 'indie rock', 'alternative R&B', are they reliable ?[1] Thanks for your time. ThibaultGerm (talk) 20:09, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

1.^ http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-golden-echo-mw0002690746

My take on the genre parameter in the infobox is that it should be about the album as a whole, based on reliable sources. I do not think that the album infobox genre should be a collection of individual song genres, nor should it list musical influences or style elements as if they were the overall genre of the album. All of the style elements and musical influences can be developed in prose in the article body, but the infobox should be purely derived from sources who are talking about the overall genre of the album. Regarding The Golden Echo specifically, the genre of art pop does not appear so often in the sources that we can tell the reader the album is solely art pop. For instance, the AllMusic link you provided says nothing about art pop. Binksternet (talk) 20:24, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
