If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link.

Your edits
[edit]Hello, thanks for your edits. However, I've reverted most of your recent contributions because much of the text you have added has been opinionated and many of the sources you have cited are not reliable per Wikipedia's standards. Graham87 05:12, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
I'm disappointed in some of the actions you've made
I understand dropping out the information that you feel was opinionated, but I feel you also dropped out certain facts stated by the singers themselves (with similar quotes being included in other threads), such as Ted Neeley considering himself a baritone. If this doesn't count as a valid source, then I don't see how pretty much ANY of the vocal talk on Wikipedia is valid, considering how inaccurate the listings, such as 'Singers with 5 octaves' etc are. It's very contradicting and makes this site look a lot worse to the singing public, to be honest. Please at least consider this, because if you decided to drop my extremely hard work just like this, I don't see how a lot of other info on threads counts as 'valid' either, especially the inaccurate categories. I'm disappointed to see ALL the information gone instead of the opinionated parts, and find all the vocal talk in Wikipedia VERY contradicting and fallacious. Judging by these criteria, you've deemed all the information about vocal ranges or vocal classifications 'invalid', it makes no sense keeping them in certain threads. Annoying.
Why did these sources get removed?Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).
Ted Neeley himself confirms them in an interview, and to remove them only confirms that you have absolutely no idea who Ted Neeley is. As he put it himself, he is very much known for his screaming, and deeming that "opinionated" is blissfully ignorant. Also, he is a SINGER and a drummer, not primarily a DRUMMER and additionally a singer.
I'm very bothered by the fact that you removed ALL the info I provided without a warning or a checkout. I wasted 6 effin' hours writing these articles, and I'm sure at least a small amount of the info was credible enough to be preserved, yet you removed absolutely everything, including the quotes from the singers themselves. I'm never writing another article on Wikipedia ever again if this can't be resolved, because I seriously consumed a whole day creating those bios.
I'm not good with references on this page, but many of the pages I wrote were also filled with info provided by renowned magazines and artists themselves.

- I've gone and put back some of the text at Ted Neeley, since you're right, it is appropriate. Yes, I generally dislike discussions of singers' ranges in Wikipedia (and everywhere else) – they're generally unscientific and problematic. I can *just* tolerate the one at Mariah Carey.
