Loudness war

[edit]

For those who may be concerned...

I have > 1000 CDs which I have ripped to 13000 FLAC files. I have also analyzed all those files using flac analysis software.

Some of them were quite big sinners when it comes to "Loudness war" or clipping, and I did find some of those in the Loudness war page on wikipedia, but a number of the worst albums when it came to clipping was by Kanye West, including the worst of them all (with a margin), My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Thus I added it, linking to results created with the MasVis software, which is the reference software for measuring these problems as far as I have found out.

However, Binksternet removed my changes, with this comment "(Reverted 2 edits by Endian05 (talk): Rv... Self-published source. (TW)) (undo | thank)".

I do not understand the reason for this and reverted his revert. I hope we will not end up in some kind of revert-war...

Hi Endian05: I'm sorry this has to be your introduction to editing Wikipedia, but we cannot use your personal research to cite claims in articles. Please review Wikipedia:No original research for the full policy. You would need to provide a citation to a reliable, published secondary source (such as a book or magazine article written by an expert). --Spike Wilbury (talk) 14:49, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I would support removing the example you left on my talk page, for the very reasons you mention. Sputnik is based on user submissions as far as I know, and not the published opinions of experts. Wikipedia is actually not concerned with "truth", but verifiability in reliable sources. --Spike Wilbury (talk) 17:29, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Forum posts are not reliable sources (and it appears you made the post?). I don't think you have read the policies I linked you to; this conversation isn't going to go much further unless you are willing to read and understand Wikipedia policies. --Spike Wilbury (talk) 19:28, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
