Release date of "Sweet Caroline"

At the "Sweet Caroline" article, you keep changing the release date to something in September 1969. There are good reasons why this is not appropriate, the best being that the song reached its peak on Billboard earlier than that. The Billboard chart website says that the song reached number 4 on August 16, and that it had been on the charts for eight weeks prior to that, meaning it entered the charts in late June. Most songs of that era were released for a brief period before entering the chart, so the 45cat website date of May 28 looks legit.

In 2015, the UK Telegraph wrote that the song was released on June 28, 1969.

A public relations statement from the record company says the song entered the charts on June 28, 1969, and that it spent 14 weeks on the charts. The album containing the song was released in July 1969.

The personal website of arranger Charles Calello says the song was released in June 1969.

The 45 rpm collector's website 45cat says that the song was released on May 28, 1969.

So with all these other sources disagreeing with September, I have removed your changes. Binksternet (talk) 05:30, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Sweet Caroline 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.
