Beach Boys Unreleased Section
Hey how can I go about sourcing things properly? You removed my edit on TheBeach Boys unreleased song 'I'm A Man' but the info you have on there currently is incorrect. I am a long time massive BeachBoys fan and I and many people are that it was written by Brian Wilson and the interview I provided was real. Also with the Boys And Girls song. Why did you removed what I added there? Please tell me how to source this info properly, this area needs to be more factual
- You wrote "Brian once said in an interview with Pulse Magazine in 1988 ... " followed by a link to a message board, which contains no interview with Pulse. In what issue and on what page does Brian talk about the song? These kinds of details are needed. See WP:RS for more info.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 22:49, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
Pink Floyd
Hello. Could you create a page for "John Latham" by Pink Floyd, please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 179.7.67.184 (talk) 02:52, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
- Yeah, when you stop reverting edits.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 10:56, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
Thanks
I thank you for proposing the new name at what is now the Garage punk (fusion genre) article. That turned out to be a great solution to a lot of the issues we were discussing there and at Acid rock. I also appreciate a lot of your work at the Garage rock article--you had some great ideas there too. It looks like the Garage rock article is now approaching a place that everyone can embrace. So, it seems like the whole process, no matter how difficult at times, will turn out for the best. Garagepunk66 (talk) 01:07, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- The United Western complex produced some of the biggest hit records of the pop era. According to the book Temples of Sound, "No other studio has won more technical excellence awards, and no studio has garnered as many Best Engineered Grammys as this complex of studios on Sunset Boulevard."

- @Xb2u7Zjzc32: Are you a bot or just confused? The Beach Boys used Western between 1962 and mid 1967. They then used Wally Heider's Los Angeles studio between late 1967 and 1969.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 16:44, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
February 2017
Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did at Artpop.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. —IB [ Poke ] 05:15, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
OK, I give up and I get it, but please, you cannot block me or ban me from editing. I am not trying to antagonize you and others, be disruptive or start editing conflicts. Sorry if I'm being persistent to you. I can't find any sources for the genre, since it is a pain for me to find better ones. Reply if you may. Aki (talk · contributions). 14:02 (UTC), February 22, 2017 (Wednesday).
- Well, the reason why I'm also asking not to block me is because I wanna retain my status as a "block-free" user, fix grammar and punctuation, as well as edit other articles, so please? I am already waiting for you to reply and tell me about the reasons why do you always revert my edits in electropop.

Disambiguation pages
Hello, Ilovetopaint. When you changed Adult-oriented rock into a disambiguation page, you may not have been aware of WP:FIXDABLINKS, which says:
- When creating disambiguation pages, fix all resulting mis-directed links.
- Before moving an article to a qualified name (in order to create a disambiguation page at the base name, to move an existing disambiguation page to that name, or to redirect that name to a disambiguation page), click on What links here to find all of the incoming links. Repair all of those incoming links to use the new article name.
It would be a great help if you would check the other Wikipedia articles that contain links to "Adult-oriented rock" and fix them to take readers to the correct article. Thanks. R'n'B (call me Russ) 15:18, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

You know? I'm bored, you're the only one who undoes my editions and you do not give a reason why you do it, I do not care if you keep doing it I'll create all the accounts that are possible and keep editing all the articles that you do not allow to edit because you are a user Unfair, I'll have your damn account suspended, you'll see. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.11.188.51 (talk) 20:53, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
@180.11.188.51: Read WP:BURDEN: "The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and is satisfied by providing a citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution.
". You've failed to do this over and over again. Almost every edit you've made requires talk page discussion due to the unacceptable sources you provide. I strongly suggest that you improve your critical reading skills before you edit Wikipedia. Maybe take a few more English classes?--Ilovetopaint (talk) 21:12, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
Don't bother me, both editions that i do before, this Interstellar Overdrive and this Avant-pop They do not violate the rules you say, however you say that those issues are disruptive and undo, I will not allow that injustice from now on and I have my accounts prepared I will see you in 4 days. I'll have your disgusting account suspended — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.11.188.51 (talk) 21:41, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- "Avant-garde rock" isn't stated in the "Interstellar" source, and "avant-pop" was applied to Barrett's 2 solo albums, not Barrett himself.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 21:43, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
That is what they use as an excuse to undo my editions, barrett only sack 2 albums in his career as a soloist and avant-garde if it is in the source simply you do not read it, anyway as I told you I will not stop, I already have my Accounts ready within 4 days. What you do is an injustice that suspiciously other users do not do with me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.11.188.51 (talk) 21:47, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- I can search through Irregular Head for "avant-garde rock" and nothing comes up. It's not in there. Barrett did not record only 2 albums, he also recorded with Pink Floyd (obviously). And you've had many other nonconstructive run-ins with other editors in the past.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 21:50, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
Do not be silly in avant-pop, The source by which he adds to Barrett says that "barrett" and "the madcap laughs" are "avant-pop" albums, these 2 albums are the only records that barrett recorded as a soloist, that's enough to make him an avant-pop artist and in the case of Insterstellar Overdrive the source said "avant-garde rock" but you insist it don't say that. No, so far you are the only one that undo my editions and in the end they end up suspending me because you say that my editions are unacceptable, so that is an injustice that I will not allow now, I already have more than ten accounts within 4 days to follow Editing, I'm not interested if you undo and undo my edits. 180.11.188.51 (talk) 21:58, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- What is the full quote in Irregular Head? And Barrett is not defined by his two studio albums. Even if he was, the source you added was self-published, which is unacceptable.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 05:58, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
The source you quote is totally acceptable, barrett is only defined with 2 discs in his career so it is enough to enter the category avant-pop but suspiciously you are the only one that undoes and undoes my edition. I repeat, I wait four days and I have all my accounts ready to edit, that the administrators realize that when undoing my editions you are committing an injustice and I hope they suspend your damn account. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 179.7.101.169 (talk) 12:28, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Burt Bacharach pruning
Unfortunately, some of your massive pruning of that article was obviously incorrect based on the rationales. There are too many to list here, and many of the citations now need to be restored. A quick example is this one, where you deleted about four very reliable sources, including PBS, actual taped performances, and the Library of Congress, and your rationale said "removed unsourced or poorly sourced." Ironically, only after you removed the sources did they become poorly sourced, not before.
In another example, you deleted a well sourced and common proper term with essentially no rationale except your opinion. In doing so, you removed a reliable source, The Telegraph article, saying it was "somebody's opinion".
Please discuss questionable issues before such massive pruning. Edits to a bio should not be based on anyone's opinions. Thanks.--Light show (talk) 02:33, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Light show: I cited WP:RECENTISM for that first example. Those concert performances are nowhere near notable enough for the lead. The other sources I removed were YouTube videos, which were used to verify the fact that a particular single topped US record charts. No doubt that it did, but we don't get that info just from watching Dionne Warwick sing.
- And the "Great American Songbook" is a proper term indeed, but it's not a real institution (as far as I know). The Wikipedia article for Great American Songbook states: "There is no consensus on which songs are in the 'Great American Songbook.'" If someone says Bacharach is in some great, imaginary songbook it is then certainly just an opinion. Bacharach is great but I doubt most historians would group "Alfie" with "Stardust".--Ilovetopaint (talk) 02:44, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

- I'm not Ilovetopaint but I have an observation. The guideline at MOS:TMRULES says we should generally not change normal English styling to conform with unusual styling of a brand. At MOS:MUSICCAPS, the guideline says "Standard English text formatting and capitalization rules apply to the names of bands and individual artists." So it's unlikely that the page Cupcakke will ever be moved to CupcakKe. Binksternet (talk) 04:28, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Psychedelic rock
Hi, Thanks for your suggestions and changes. I see you prefer the general phrase "instrumental sections". Arguably this doesn't contain much information, as instrumental segments can be found in Renaissance, Baroque and Classical vocal music, and in many pop genres. The specific types of instrumental sections--guitar solos and improvised jams--are an identifiable feature of psychedelic rock, as confirmed by the reference. I think that vagueness in leads can be contrary to MOS:LEAD'S instructions to make the lead a standalone intro to the subject. See also WP:Vague introductions, a user essay. Thank you. I hope we can discuss this further. Is there a different wording you would be comfortable with?OnBeyondZebrax • TALK 18:57, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
- @OnBeyondZebrax: It doesn't say "instrumental segments", it says "extended instrumental segments". Hicks deliberately chose to word it as (emphasis added) "long instrumental introductions or codas or inserting long solos or 'jams.'" Rock music didn't have extended form until psychedelia came along, which is a greater point to make than "psychedelic rock has long guitar jams". It's not always about the guitars - there's tons of examples where the vocals drop out for spacey organs, tape loops, or something similar. --Ilovetopaint (talk) 00:37, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

"Our Prayer" edit
You reverted an edit I made to the Beach Boys' "Our Prayer" stating, "We don't need to cite his full name every single time." I understand that and that is not why the edit was made. The article is referring to several people with the last name Wilson and then you say "...without involvement from Wilson" and it is unclear which Wilson you are referring to. By adding his first name, the reader knows who you are referring to. Without the edit, they could think you mean without Carl Wilson's involvement...or without Dennis Wilson's involvement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dwilliamsiddall (talk • contribs) 12:07, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Unexplained reversion
Why did you revert this? WhatamIdoing (talk) 07:23, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
- Because that's not what the song is about and it was unsourced to begin with.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 07:46, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
- Oh, I see. I was looking at the revised lyrics, which include lines such as "For this daring young star/Met his death while in his car". The content of the original is rather different. It is typical to include some mention of what the song is about in an encyclopedia article. How would you describe it?
- (Even if there's no 'little blue clicky number' at the end of a description, basic facts about lyrics and the plot of fictional books are generally assumed to be verifiABLE in the original work even when not individually cited. "
<ref>The song</ref>
is normally considered superfluous, although in this particular instance, a URL to the lyrics would have shown you which version of the song I was looking at.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 15:57, 25 May 2017 (UTC)- Poems would be a better point of comparison, not fictional books (or linear narratives, as you probably mean). Wikipedia is not the place for editors to interpret poems/lyrics. If it's exceedingly obvious what a song is about, then the reader will also know just by listening. But we can't just definitively say that "Their Hearts Were Full of Spring" is about two hearts being full of spring. Your confusion between the song and "A Young Man Is Gone" is a perfect example of why it's bad to presume these things without verification.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 20:51, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
- Of course you shouldn't "interpret" a primary source, but you can certainly summarize it.
- Again, it is typical to include some mention of what the song is about in an encyclopedia article. The article is incomplete without this information. So how would you describe its contents? WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:56, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
- Poems would be a better point of comparison, not fictional books (or linear narratives, as you probably mean). Wikipedia is not the place for editors to interpret poems/lyrics. If it's exceedingly obvious what a song is about, then the reader will also know just by listening. But we can't just definitively say that "Their Hearts Were Full of Spring" is about two hearts being full of spring. Your confusion between the song and "A Young Man Is Gone" is a perfect example of why it's bad to presume these things without verification.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 20:51, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

DYK for Smiley Smile
On 16 June 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Smiley Smile, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Beach Boys' experimental album Smiley Smile (1967) was used by some rehab centers to help ease patients off drugs? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Smiley Smile. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Smiley Smile), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello, Ilovetopaint. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, The Beach Boys (touring band), for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Removed my edit twice on Vaporwave
I made two edits. For the first one, here, I added Whitewoods then linked to their Youtube page. I see how it was fair that you did that.
But for the second here, I linked to another Wikipedia page where it EXPLICITLY said "* There is a vaporwave band named Whitewoods"
And if you even take 5 minutes away from removing my legitimate edits and listened to Whitewoods, you would understand that it 100% follows the Genre and art style of Vaporwave.
- Please read WP:OR and WP:CIRCULAR to see why your edits were undone. You need a reliable source that explicitly states "Whitewoods is a vaporwave band" to add them to the article. Otherwise the list could be used to advertise millions of trivial Soundcloud pages.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 16:06, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Hey, I don't really carer either way, except for the correct way, I made my revert based on the article's history [2], [3], [4] two of those are your revisions and one is Binksternet so I figured I was good, now I know. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 01:14, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
- That issue wearies me. The way I understand it, if the biographical subject has stated a strong national identity or preference then the word "British" is exchanged for the preferred nationality. Or if the majority of reliable sources say "quintessentially English", "died-in-the-wool Scottish", etc, etc.
If you would have actually read the mark up of the section you'd see why the information was removed. It says " ANY ADDITIONS REQUIRE A WIKI-ARTICLE
- If there is notability and some third-party reporting on the artist then create a wiki-article (consider creating a new section on the talk page so that other editors can help you out)
- If there is no wiki-article, you need to wait before adding the band/musician.
- Bandcamp does not qualify as a third-party source!
PLEASE READ THE ABOVE BEFORE ADDING ARTISTS"

Your recent editing history at Template:Pink Floyd shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. - FlightTime (open channel) 17:01, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

The Good Article Nominations Page Needs Your Help!
![]() |
---|
Hi there. You nominated an article for evaluation against the good article criteria some time ago, but I noticed you have yet to review an article yourself. Although it's not mandatory, it would be helpful if every user who creates a nomination also reviewed at least one other article, as this would help clear the massive backlog. Reviewing someone else's article can also help you in the long run: every article reviewed brings yours one position closer to the top of the nominations list! If you worked on the article you nominated, chances are you're already familiar with the six good article criteria. It really isn't hard to review, and may take an experienced editor only a few hours to complete. If you have the time and would like to help, please click here, take a moment to figure out which article you'd like to review, then click on its (start review) button. Thank you for reading, and if you need assistance with your review at any point, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page and I'll respond to you as soon as I can. Homeostasis07 (talk) |

Bobby Jameson
The album Songs of Protest and Anti-Protest is not often mentioned anywhere. It's still pretty obscure. On the rare occasions when it is mentioned, or reviewed in its own right, I accept that it is often compared to Forever Changes... but in my view that does not justify the unqualified use of the word "often" in the way you have used it. Ghmyrtle (talk) 09:48, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
- I don't know how you are getting "Songs of Protest is often the subject of review" from "Songs of Protest is often compared to ..." when an earlier sentence explicitly says that it merely has a cult following.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 17:11, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
- It's the use of the word "often" that is confusing. The album is very rarely reviewed at all, so claiming that it is "often" compared to another album is wrong. And the text doesn't, in fact, say that the album has a cult following - it says that Jameson acquired a cult following. (Though I'm not sure that's true.) Still, I know there are more important things to worry about. Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:29, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
- PS: This edit misses the point. The reason I raised the issue was simply to question your edit here, where you included the word "often". It's still wrong to include the word "often", and I don't see how your latest wording is an improvement. Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:44, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
