Thanks for writing the article about "You'll Never Get to Heaven (If You Break My Heart)" by Dionne Warwick. I'm a big fan of her work in the 60s with Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

Wikipedia editor TheLongTone just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Is this where Tangerine Dream got their name??

That's an intriguing thought, but it looks like T.D. predates the song by a year or so.

Supplement to block notice

The block notice and log entry for this user isn't too informative, but if anyone wishes to view the discussion which lead to this user being indefinitely blocked, it can be found at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1096#JGabbard spreading white genocide conspiracy theory on South African farm attacks article. They were not actually banned, and some editors expressed hope that they would learn, do some self-reflection and reconsider some of their unacceptable views. Even so, some of those editors did still consider that an indefinite block was in order, but not a full siteban. Consensus seemed to be for an indefinite block, not so much an outright ban, but that is just my assessment of it, please read it yourself, as my assessment may not be the same as others. I'm noarchiving this to pin it, as it is going to be of interest to anyone trying to view this page. If the user doesn't want this here, they are welcome to remove it.

Replaceable fair use File:Reunited - Peaches & Herb.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Reunited - Peaches & Herb.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This user is asking that his block be reviewed:

JGabbard (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I would like to appeal a block from five months ago, please. Upon self-reflection, I made the error of using a Talk Page as a soapbox for inflammatory sociopolitical comments without reliable substantiation. This action was disruptive, and I sincerely apologize for this breach of decorum. I will refrain from doing so in the future. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Notes:

In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

Upon self-reflection, I made the error of using a Talk Page as a soapbox for inflammatory sociopolitical comments without reliable substantiation.  This action was disruptive, and I sincerely apologize for this breach of decorum.  I will refrain from doing so in the future.  Thank you very much for your consideration. |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=I would like to appeal a block from five months ago, please.

This action was disruptive, and I sincerely apologize for this breach of decorum.  I will refrain from doing so in the future.
