How does X work?

After your Citation Barnstar, something happened preventing me from adding a couple of new references. Bennyhester (talk) 05:55, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Refs Not Blacklisted

This was posted at the top of my edit page . Not sure how that prevented me from updating. I could use your help or advice. Bennyhester (talk) 06:12, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Again, that shouldn't prevent you from doing anything. It's a message to a date maintenance script (bot in wikipedia terms) that patrols pages and corrects date formats.

You don't need to put the help template if you leave talk on someone else's page. You put that on your own page. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:19, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Oh. Do you see any errors? What exactly is happening when you're trying to add the reference? What's the reference? You can just put the reference here or on your talk page. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:21, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Here's a copy of the notice:

Edit conflict: Benny Hester Someone else has changed this page since you started editing it, resulting in an edit conflict. The upper text area contains the page text as it currently exists (without your changes). Your version of the page (with your changes) is shown in the lower text area. You will have to merge your changes into the existing text in the upper text area to incorporate your edits. Only the text in the upper text area will be saved when you press "Save page"; all other changes in the lower text area will be lost. Please do not just copy the text from the lower text area into the upper, unless you're sure that you want to undo all other changes made while you were editing this page. Rather, please try to compare the two versions and combine them into one text that preserves both your edits and any improvements made by others.

There are two parallel columns. One says "Your Text", the other "Stored revision". Not sure how to handle it. Do I need to add an access date to my references? DO NOT WANT TO LOSE MY ADDITIONAL WORK AND MY NEW TEXT. Thank you for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bennyhester (talk • contribs) 06:40, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

That's partially my fault. You made a change to the article and then started editing again. While you were editing, I made a change. Just go back in your browser and select all of the text and copy it. Go forward again and paste it in. I'll make my changes to the article after a few hours. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:04, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bennyhester (talk • contribs) 07:19, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Message from Jquevedo007

Hello Walter Görlitz,

Thank you for placing back all the previous attributes. I don't know how to go about doing this. I am Joseph Quevedo, I am a professional recording artist. I have recorded locally, nationally and internationally. I am a christian drummer and percussionist and have recorded with christian and non-christian artists. from famous artists to local up-comming artists. I have been on tour with a few artists as well. I do this for a living. I am what they call a back-up drummer. A back-up drummer is the drummer that comes in only when the actual drummer is ill or cannot make it. I step in for the band and let the show go on. I have never been the lead or main drummer or percussionist. Warner Music, Sony, Epic, Word Entertainment and Intergity Music use me as (on Call). I have played and recorded for a few srtists for example, Ricky Martin, Lisa Marie Presley, Jaci Velasquez, Crystal Lewis, Marcus Witt, Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Jars of Clay, Felix Rodriquez, Misael & Freedom, Sound Sphere, Mary Alessi, Livan Trujillo, Face 2 Face, Ed Calle, Arturo Sandoval, Tito Puente, Jr, Etc... I am named on most of there CDs on some I never was named. It didn't bother me because I was paid and in actually that is what matters not the recorgnition.... I am a humble man. But for some tht I am on the cd, I am not found on wikipedia and I wanted to fix that. how can i do this in one shot? who can i do this will your approval? I do I correct this issue? do you have an email, I can sent it to and you edit it for me? Or do I re edit it and you appove or them? I will only list or edit, what is correct and not remove or vandolize the encyclopedia. please let me know. Be Blessed, my brother! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jquevedo007 (talk • contribs)

Your help is needed...

I have tried to edit Wikipedia to correct a few flaws it has. I do hope you recieved my last message. I, Joseph Quevedo am a full-time recording and live musician. drums and percussion recorded locally, nationally, and internationally for several big time and small time artists. I am listed in there original hard copy cd. I wanted to simply add my name to those cds, I contributed my God given talents and only to those cds. How can I do this...? I have tried and you have taken it off. I need your spproval to do this right. Please let me know how... Can I simply redo them and you approve or do I send you can e-mail with the artists and my role on the cd? They are not many of them that needs to be corrected. Please advise...

Thank you and be Blessed. Joe — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jquevedo007 (talk • contribs) 05:23, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Userpage

I can indefinitely semi-protect it for you if you'd like. One would hope that autoconfirmed users know how to use talk pages. Killiondude (talk) 06:22, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the offer but let's see if our friends return. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:50, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Jay's Musik Blog

I have found his Linkedin resume, which may intrigue you, but I think his is a professional reviewer. Even though, his website contains the word blog in it!HotHat (talk) 02:51, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Take it to WP:RS. The way I read "currently writing for NewReleaseTuesday, in addition to my created site jaysmusikblog.com" is that the reviews that NRT won't take he publishes on his own blog. Not sure what to make of it. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:46, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

I went and read USERGENERATED policy, which it says "Self-published material may be acceptable when produced by an established expert on the topic of the article whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications." I take this as he was the Lead Reviewer for Christian Music Review, which satisfies the policy, which he is currently a featured reviewer for New Release Tuesday. So, I consider him to be professional.

I'd support WG's what I think was statement: the personal blog = not usable. Formal sites = usable. As he said, however, try your luck on the reliable sources noticeboard (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 00:18, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Good work on sourcing that. What article did I remove that from. It sounds reliable. Should we mention at the RS notice board before restoring? I don't think they'll balk. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:20, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes, why not give it a go on RSN! I am up for having my edits here at wikipedia crutiqued because it will always make me a better editor.HotHat (talk) 00:33, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Here is RSN proposal, so does it look good before posting.HotHat (talk) 00:52, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

It looks fine. If any info is missing, they'll ask about it. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:30, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

This was for Gold (Britt Nicole album)‎. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:31, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Correct!HotHat (talk) 04:28, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

The Christian Music Review Blog

They are listed as featured reviewer on NRT, so his website contains more credibility because he post his reviews on that site, which means they must meet some level of standard in order for him to carry the featured reviewer tag. Even Kevin McNeese, the sites founder is considered to be a featured reviewer, so it must be rather difficult to get that seal of approval.HotHat (talk) 00:11, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Ashes Remain

Hello Walter Görlitz, I am wondering with concern to the album release date should it be day month year or should it be month day year, which should we not follow WP:STRONGNAT, since this group is based out of Baltimore, Maryland. I could understand if non-American that it should be the former, but they are an American based band so it should be the latter.HotHat (talk) 23:47, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

I put in my opinion. You were right. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:06, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Kingsway Communications

Is this record company consider a major label?HotHat (talk) 22:54, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

They were a distributor of Christian music in the UK (and to the world) in the 80s and 90s. They also signed a number of artists to their own label. Graham Kendrick is probably the most prominent of their UK signings. They also distributed European bands to the US. They later were involved in some important worship albums in the late 90s and early part of the 2000s with a guy known as Matt Redman and an album called In Christ Alone: New Hymns of Prayer & Worship. They also happen to have released some albums by British artist Ian Smale that are popular in the Christian New Wave movement in the US (If You Can't Shout Saved and Life Begins at 30 using two different band names). In the UK they were distributed by Kingsway while in North America it was on Star Song. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:38, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

New Article

Will you give Rend Collective Experiment a look over, when you get the time?HotHat (talk) 05:28, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Looks great. Two charting album assures notability. I made a few changes to the lede but otherwise it's good. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:02, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Canada overlinking

Well yes: you wonder why a reader who's just embarking on a substantial article on Canada would want to divert almost immediately to the article on the Atlantic Ocean, don't you. Tony (talk) 07:06, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Question

Walter - I'm dealing with what appears to be a single user logging in on multiple anon accounts who is continually editing List of VeggieTales episodes and adding videos that he appears to be getting word of mouth as I've been unable to independently verify any of the movies even after doing an extensive Google search so I have no idea where he's getting the info. It appears that his/her info is accurate (as he tried to enter the "Robin Good" video for months before it came out) and I've left messages on every single one of the logins Talk pages asking/begging them to simply supply a ref to the upcoming video, but if it was a fansite or blog it probably wasn't valid. However, I haven't had much (any) success and was looking for suggestions. If you look at the revision history, basically everyone of the anon users you see there was trying to add these unverified videos (which is why I think it's the same guy/gal). Getting old continually reverting the same material, but am I being too anal? What are you thoughts? Thanks - Ckruschke (talk) 02:43, 18 May 2012 (UTC)Ckruschke

The article needs reliable sources for inclusion. If you would like, I could add the article to my watch list and support you. Alternately, you could request page protection. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:16, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

I think if any of these people would respond to me negatively, I'd be seeking your support on the page. Since none of them have responded at all, I'm not asking you to add more pages to your list - I can revert the nonsense on my own.

I thought you had to have alot of malicious edits in order to rate having a page protected? With three or four nonsense edits a week, are we there? Ckruschke (talk) 11:19, 21 May 2012 (UTC)Ckruschke

Page protection is not a hard-and-fast rule. You can have a page protected because an anon damages the article but that anon's IP changes frequently. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:44, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunately, it appears that the block would have to be across the Veggie spectrum as I've edited out the same unreferenced "future" info on at least five different pages and the Veggie template. Not worth the bother for someone else in my mind... Ckruschke (talk) 17:52, 22 May 2012 (UTC)Ckruschke

Samestate

Hello, I was wondering do you think this is notable under MUSICBIO.HotHat (talk) 05:34, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Per WP:BAND #2, yes. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:19, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

All Sons & Daughters

Do you think this one is notable at all?HotHat (talk) 07:29, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Per #2 again, yes. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:19, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

But I would incorporate the New Release Tuesday material and use it as a reference rather than have it as an external link. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:21, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Mennoniten

hi walter, ich habe nur rudimentäres wissen über diese religion. kannst Du das tun? im artikel über die mennoniten in der deutschen wikipedia habe ich die hitler-nähe oben kurz angesprochen und in einer langen fußnote begründet. vielleicht kannst Du ja etwas damit anfangen. ich habe den eindruck, dass den mennoniten daran gelegen ist, mit der "braunen" vergangenheit offen umzugehen. grüße aus köln, Maximilian (talk) 09:07, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm not comfortable doing the edits. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:11, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Article scrub

I would greatly appreciate an article scrub by you on Season One if you find any mistakes fix them please! Thanks,HotHat (talk) 05:00, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

By the way, it is a darn good album if you want to check it out at Spotify to see my point! It is a album that has may twists and turns with its longevity.HotHat (talk) 05:03, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Looks good. I think you've got the idea. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:39, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

"You're doing enough yourself"

Yeah, you sure are. Walter, 'give-as-good-as-you-get' is not the way we operate here, even if it seems so at times. And even if that's a fellow fan of whatever sport you're discussing at this page and it's all in good fun, you should find a fangeek forum to use anyway. I was ready a day ago to warn/block a new and disruptive editor, let it go at the time as it seemed to be calming down - and now I see it's still happening, but you've taken away my clean shot. So you are in the sights now as well. Or to translate, this is your warning to cease making personal attacks. Article talk pages are used to discuss the merits of proposed changes to articles, not the merits of the editors propsing changes. Thanks & regards! Franamax (talk) 08:25, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

SudoGhost

Hi

It looks like he is now stalking me :)

As you can se here: Talk:Ubuntu_(operating_system)#Wubi

He is now questioning official documentation

Thank you for your time SilverWolf7 (talk) 16:57, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
PS

I seems he (SudoGhost) thinks that this is personal attack on him. I just want to point it is not. It is remark on his way of dealing with things. He undid my edit without knowing anything about line I added. And I did pointed him to official faq and other Wiki page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SilverWolf7 (talk • contribs) 18:28, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

A few WP:MOSDATE issues, but I fixed them and it looks sufficiently notable. Be sure to add them to the list of Christian worship music artists‎. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:39, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Why have some external links on some pages been removed?

I'm new to editing on here but I was wondering why you removed external links I added? Did I do it wrong or are they not needed or what? They links were to verified twitter accounts so they were right. Clash6361 (talk) 16:32, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Please read WP:EL and particularly WP:ELNO #10 (Links to social networking sites (such as Myspace and Facebook), chat or discussion forums/groups (such as Yahoo! Groups), Twitter tweets, Usenet newsgroups or e-mail lists.), which is what I listed when removing the links. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:04, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Plus One article

Hi Walter,

I am a French Christian and, actually, I am translating in French you article about Plus One.

It seems there is an oversight in this section :

Formation and early years: 1999–2000

Plus One began to take shape as early as 1998 and formed by a manager named Mitchell Solarek, when 18-year-old Sacramento, California-boy Nate Cole was joined by 21-year-old Gabe Combs of Pittsburgh, California, 22-year-old Nathan Walters of Lakeland, Florida and the 19-year-old Jeremy Mhire, who had been engrossed in vocal studies as a junior on full scholarship to Southwest Missouri State University. In a pattern of chance and happy accidents, suggesting a bit of destiny at play, Cole and Combs had known each other from mutual music circles while growing up in Northern California and Nathan had initially heard about the new group through an acquaintance of Nate’s. The group came to complete fruition with the arrival of Jason Perry, who up to that moment had been focusing on his role as starting fullback and defensive end for his high school football team. The youngest member of the group, The name Plus One refers to the members of the group, plus God.

in the middle of bold part. There is no talk about the fifth member Jeremy Mhire.

Could you complete this part and inform me when it will be do ?

Thanks a lot,

God bless you,

Bad edit

I made an incorrect edit, and I now understand why it is so. Your rudeness and sarcasm regarding my edit is not appreciated, please try to be courteous when telling other people about their edits. Dar5995 (talk) 06:46, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Anons

I noticed your recent statement that "While anons are not all vandals, it's more often the case than not". Do you have figures to back this up? --John (talk) 08:55, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Do you have figures to deny that? It's a subjective statement that my edit history backs-up. It's also the case that the edit history of the editor to whom I was responding at the time backs up. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 13:36, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism's edit history seems to support it as well. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 13:45, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Ok, I am not seeing figures there at all, so I will take that as a "no". I do not have figures to refute your statement but I think the figures are there to be found. I will have a look for you. --John (talk) 13:48, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I thought so. It took me a very short time to find WP:HUMAN which strongly suggests that based on surveys most IP edits are constructive. If you have evidence that contradicts this finding, now would be a good time to share it. Otherwise I am afraid it looks like you are completely wrong. --John (talk) 13:56, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

You have found the opposite of what is being discussed. We're not saying that anons are not constructive but that there are more anons that are vandals than there are registered editors who are. It looks like you're completely wrong. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 13:58, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

So you mistyped when you wrote "While anons are not all vandals, it's more often the case than not"? That would certainly explain it. It was a noticably daft thing for an experienced editor to write, hence my highlighting it with you. You could redact it if you wanted to. --John (talk) 14:02, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I did. I should clarify that. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:09, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that, it showed real class. Take care. --John (talk) 14:26, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome. Thanks for pointing-out my error. I was focused on other things last night and have more time to be precise at this point. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:48, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

I wasn't sure if you were an Owl City fan, but I noticed that you make a lot of good edits to the page! It looks nice.
