No Drum And Bass In The Jazz Room

Since there's an article about the band, if there's insufficient content/sources/whatever to merit an article about the album, it should be redirected to the band's page, rather than deleted (except perhaps in unthinkably bizarre cases where the band's article doesn't mention the album?), so readers can find what information we have on the subject.

I have no objection to redirecting - although for various reasons I suspect it will still come to an RfC or AfD eventually. Still, I'll setup the redirect later today when I get back online. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:42, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible, although with the extremely limited content, a merger would probably be fine and not gather any objections. WilyD 16:55, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Message!!

You sent me a message saying that an edit I made to a Windows XP page was not constructive. I never have and never will make any edits to pages about Windows XP about which I know very little. In fact, I have made no edits to any Wikipedia page to date. I would kindly ask you to check your facts and remove this criticism from any profile or details regarding me - I may well want to edit something in future and I don't want to be prevented from doing so because you have me confused with another user.

Thanks

The warning you mentioned appears to be on page User talk:90.203.120.169, and is from May 2009.

Because ISPs frequently change IP assignments, it's possible for you to receive a notice from a prior user of that IP address. When I place notices on an IP talk page, I currently include a mention that in order to avoid irrelevant notices meant for prior users of an IP, the receiver of the notice may wish to create an account. But the notice on your IP talk page is over five years old, prior to my including that mention. As a courtesy, due to the age of the notice, I'll go ahead and blank your userpage. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 15:50, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Spyro

I'm so sorry I overturned your PP on Spyro (series). I've only just noticed that you applied protection 10 mins before I did. Please feel free to revert to your level (though in my favour I'd claim that both parties are as bad as one another so full prot may be better). Best wishes, —SMALL JIM 00:09, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No problem - I was about to post on the talk page with a link to WP:DR and WP:ELN. It appears that the link has been disputed for at least a year - so gaining input from additional parties from outside the talk page is likely going to be needed to resolve the issue. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 00:13, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition there may help a lot. Thanks! —SMALL JIM 00:24, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request for help with spam on Spyro (series)

Hello, I was wondering if you could please help me stop the spammer on the Spyro (series) page. I am completely lost as to what to do at this point and do not want to enter another edit war. You protected the page on June 30, and we were asked to "work it out on the talk page." However, despite failing to gather a consensus in favor of the link, User:75.70.218.39 is still reverting edits to remove it from the page and is ignoring warnings. I have gotten a second opinion in favor of removing this link here. Can the protection on the page be increased, the user blocked, and/or the link blacklisted? Thank you.
