Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent edits do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the "sandbox" rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 16:50, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Genres

[edit]

Stop changing film and music genres without discussion. It is clear that your intention is disruption. It is also clear that this is a sockpuppet of Awesomerperson97. Further disruption will result in blocking. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 16:53, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]


I am not trying to vandalize any articles. I truly believe that the genres I have changed is because I feel the ones used before are not the correct genres. For instance, everybody refers to Rear Window as a mystery film. It even says in a wikipedia article that lists the films considered the best in it's genre that Rear Window is in the mystery category. And with Rock Star, the movie is in a collection of romantic comedies so I always thought of Rock Star as a romantic comedy. It says on wikipedia that is a comedy-drama so I change it to romantic comedy because I have believed that was the truth for a long time. I am not trying to disrupt anything. ---ModerateTy 12:05, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • I am making no judgement on whether or not you are right. You might be, but mass-changing of information in articles without discussion (and continuing the same kind of edits even after you were reverted) is seen as disruptive. (Information included in articles needs to be verifiable using reliable sources.) So please don't continue unilaterally making this kind of edits, even if you believe that you are right; instead, discuss the changes on the appropriate talk page. (You can also ask for help by adding {{helpme}} to your talk page, or at editor assistance. In case of a dispute, various procedures of dispute resolution are available.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 23:16, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
