Hello, I'm Pamzeis. I noticed that you recently removed content from Sofia Carson without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Information does not have to have individual articles

On the Skin Alley template, you recently hid everything, except for what had articles on, making the template inaccurate, and did not describe why it needed to be hidden. Not all info needs to have articles, if that were so, band templates would be infinitely smaller. Because of this, I have undone your edits to the template. --TheGreatestWikiEditorEver (talk) 18:32, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

@TheGreatestWikiEditorEver: Hi. A navigation box, such as the one you created for Skin Alley, is not intended to serve as a discography page. It is intended to aid navigation between related articles of the templated topic. Any band template you see otherwise has done it wrong. I recommend you read WP:NAVBOX and WP:NAV-WITHIN. Thank you.

Huasita Regalona

You recently placed a notability tag on Huasita Regalona. The sourcing was admittedly sparse at the time of tagging, but I've since beefed it up a bit. Let me know if it you still have concerns. Cheers. Cbl62 (talk) 07:24, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

@Cbl62: Thank you. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 19:09, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

March 2021

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Escort (album). This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. --John B123 (talk) 18:45, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

That was only my second revert, and I added an additional source. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 18:48, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

All of Them Naturals

Yeah, sorry about that. It was a bit confusing for me too. You see, over here it says vinyl LP. Pitchfork, on the other hand, calls it "their second EP", and Colorado Daily completely screwed the lineup. Here is their quote: "Their previous album, 'All of them Naturals', is a slightly less classic punk influenced and slightly more off-kilter, but it remains a banger as well". So, which source should I trust when it comes to albums' type?--Filmomusico (talk) 16:51, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Robert Moore

There are more than one wikipedia editors at this public site.

In November 2019, I received this comment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:67.53.214.86#Thank_you from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:X1%5C

Another wikipedia editor received this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:67.53.214.86#August_2020

Help

Hello, Sometimes I have been unable to create the articles titled, "List of...", however I was able to create it was "Awards and...". If you found some way to thanks! I was trying to set them up, but for some reason it wouldn't let me. Looks like you found a way around that? Thank you. Also I know you prefer, "List of..." rather than "Awards and...", but I've noticed a lot of articles named "Awards and...", do you care to change them? This includes Awards and nominations received by Sarah Jessica Parker.

Also, I created an awards page for Riz Ahmed, but couldn't change it to "List of...". Can you please help? It's now Awards and nominations received by Riz Ahmed. Thanks! The One I Left (talk) 11:11, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

@The One I Left: Thank you for your reply. I did go through the entirety of Category:Lists of awards received by actor and thought I found all the misnamed ones. I guess I missed one. If you’re not being allowed to create a list at the correct name, it means the title already exists, most likely as a redirect to the actor’s page. Say you wanted to created List of awards and nominations received by Amy Poehler (and I’m not recommending you do), you’ll see a link at the top of the article which you can click. From there, you then can edit the page at the correct name instead of creating something at Awards and nominations received by Amy Poehler.

Confused

I have been told, several times over the last couple of years, to add a music album's tracklisting to the artist's main article, when the album is not noteworthy enough for it's own article. I did this today on this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_Greene and it was all deleted except the album titles. I don't understand why, especially after that was what I was instructed to do and I believe I've read the same thing in some of the Wikipedia help articles on album creation as well. I do not agree that the album title is the only thing necessary. When I research an album or anything in an encyclopedia, I am much more interested in the tracklistings, along with songwriters and track lengths and other various information than simply the name of the album which I probably already know as that is probably what brought me to this article in the first place. Without the tracklistings, there's just a skeleton and no meat in this article. Can someone please advise me as to why 9/10s of this article (after I edited it) is deemed not necessary? Thanks.HowlinMadMan (talk) 23:51, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

@HowlinMadMan: Per WP:INDISCRIMINATE, information should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources. Merely being true and verifiable does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Wikipedia articles should not be summary-only descriptions of works. Even with that said, WP:DONTHIDE says "Collapsible templates should not conceal article content by default upon page loading." There's no need to place WP:UNDUE weight on just the artist's discography with a full track listing for each album, especially when it's that many albums. Thanks. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 00:38, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

"Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article, space permitting." from Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Albums

Quite frankly, sometimes it appears that Wikipedia's "Notability" guidelines are more like a popularity contest. Especially when it comes to music albums. Popular is not always better.

I always thought of Wikipedia as a source of reliable information. If I research a topic and Wikipedia just gives me the bare basics, then I have to go somewhere else for what I need. If this is the case, then what good is Wikipedia to me? I'm not trying to offend, just making an observation. For instance, I visited at least 40 to 50 web pages to verify the track information that I included in this article along with several albums that I personally own. This was a lot of work that would save other interested parties a lot of time.

I don't get the hate on collapsible templates either. They just seem efficient when there's a lot of information available so that the page doesn't overwhelm the reader. I was really disappointed when Wikipedia did away with the collapsible tracklisting feature. They make the page look much better on initial viewing. I think readers are smart enough to click on the "hide" and "show" buttons.

It's out of my control and I know I'm not going to win this debate as I've been down this road before with you guys. I stopped submitting for more than a year because it's very frustrating to put all the work into something just to have someone wipe it out with a keystroke. I'm only a reader so what I want to see on a Wikipedia page might not matter, but it should. Time for another hiatus. Cheers.HowlinMadMan (talk) 11:15, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Just seen this (single album) discussion

Hi Starcheers Just seen Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Albums/Archive_58#"Single_Album". This was passed into law on 11 March 2019 on naming conventions. Was there in your view a strong consensus to make this the rule? In ictu oculi (talk) 09:45, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
