Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Black Veil Brides. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 21:52, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

September 2012

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Iron Maiden, you may be blocked from editing. Nerdtrap (talk) 20:18, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

November 2012

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Matt Thiessen. Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:23, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 7

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Vista Chino, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Garcia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Queensrÿche

Hey man, thanks for your great edits around Queensrÿche the past couple of months. I've been watching your work, and I'm happy to know others are around to collaborate with. Your edits are always an improvement. Also, I found your hilarious vandalism section great fun! :-P Keep up the good work man! --Eddyspeeder (talk) 20:00, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nice job on Frequency Unknown! It's always helpful to write texts together; everyone has their strengths and weaknesses and everyone looks at it from a different perspective. It's a great improvement. Can I invite you to also go over the article on the self-titled Queensrÿche some time? I'm trying to get both articles up to standard, hopefully to get them classified as Good Article at some point ;-) --Eddyspeeder (talk) 19:18, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Haha well to be honest, I just glanced at your profile's index and saw the words "vandalism" and "hilarious" tied together in a sentence, which I don't see too often. I've actually left the bit about leaving up there, because outside of having made Queensrÿche a "project" of sorts, I don't see myself staying outside of that. There are many things I definitely don't do anymore, and I've become fairly careless about if a moderator decides to be a jerk. I decided to leave after things just started building up, and then at some point I think everyone will know what's the straw that broke the camel's back. I try to counter the negative atmosphere by being nice, give compliments were compliments are due, etc. By the way, did you notice your recent major contribution to the Queensrÿche album page got reverted?... --Eddyspeeder (talk) 06:15, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Small update: I've managed to salvage the edits you've made, so they're back up. They were (as always) very good, so thanks! The only place where I went a different path, was with the "Reception" section. I had the sudden inspiration to remove all sentences that either praised Todd or referred to how it sounds like the classics; the intro text already says that (I also have your improvement on that text to thank for it, as it now says it even more clearly). That cleared up a lot of the rubble. --Eddyspeeder (talk) 09:28, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your latest edit at Frequency Unknown had me thinking it was probably ready for a good reassessment. Get ready to smile: Talk:Frequency Unknown ;-) --Eddyspeeder (talk) 19:41, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, yep, I had already fixed most of the quotes by the time you wrote me a message, with just one edit to make after I had dinner :-D Thanks for your other work though, on Todd La Torre's page and the way you tackled the Frequency Unknown page, which looks great! I'll get back to improving that one after the Queensrÿche page has at least everything on it that it should have. --Eddyspeeder (talk) 08:07, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Gotta say, dude, I'm impressed with the way you've created Rising West and the 2012 Queensrÿche split. Good research, especially the latter one contains some quotes that are extremely valuable and which I just hadn't come across yet. Very cool man, kudos! --Eddyspeeder (talk) 13:43, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

13 (Black Sabbath album)

Hi. Per Template:Infobox album, we use the Duration template in the Length parameter of the infobox. I have restored it at 13 (Black Sabbath album). I also removed a bunch of unnecessary wording you threw in, as it just made sentences too long (that Bob Dylan thing is already hard enough to read, and its inclusion is questionable anyway), and/or repeated information already given.

Thank you for fixing the track listing headline for the bonus edition and making it say "disc". MrMoustacheMM (talk) 20:03, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your user page

I too often find some of the vandalism that takes place here humorous; sometimes even hilarious. But reprinting these edits word-for-word on your user page presents some problems. First of all, it just isn't a good idea (see WP:BEANS). That alone probably wouldn't be enough for anyone to force you to remove it, as, within reason, users are generally permitted to decide what to put on pages in their own userspace. However, a lot of these edits violate WP:BLP, a non-negotiable policy that applies to each and every Wikipedia page. And a lot of other edits about deceased persons, while technically not BLP-vios, are such egregious vandalism of biography articles that they should still be removed. Please give serious consideration to this. Regards. Joefromrandb (talk) 01:31, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Having gotten no response, I was obligated to remove it myself, along with your own comments about Jo Frost. Please do not put it back. Joefromrandb (talk) 01:32, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for July 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Mediator Between the Head and Hands Must Be the Heart, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Roots (album) (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Queensrÿche

Hi mate, thanks for your comment. I agree with you on this being a bit out of balance (or at least seeming to be that way). Great of you to bring it up. Let's discuss it for a minute, I'm open for different views. And also, let's broaden the view here by looking at the entire 'Queensrÿche split, legal proceedings, and future of the band (2012–present)" section. An experienced editor advised me the below. I think it is good advice. I been pondering this and am still pondering how to do that. I think it makes sense to start a separate article on the breakup, to restore the article's flow:

Certainly give the band break-up a subsection. There is a lot of reliable source material (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:RS). Does it have its own article? It almost should, with so many articles and mentions like ]http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/valentines-day-special-the-10-messiest-band-breakups-20130214/queensryche-19691231 this].

Secondly, if I look critically at the "with La Torre" section, all three top paragraphs are about Rising West. I do see that Rising West is an important "side project" that the band did, because it later became one version of Queensrÿche, but in reality the Rising West stage does not equal Queensrÿche with La Torre (despite the band members being the same). Those three paragraphs could be moved out to its own article as well, drastically shortening that section and making it more balanced-out with the "with Tate" version.

So thinking about your comment and combining it with the comment quoted above, I would suggest starting two new articles: one on the breakup, one on Rising West. Whatever goes there will then largely be removed from Queensrÿche's main page, which both improves the flow and balances out things. (In addition, a separate Rising West page probably will also shorten the articles on La Torre and the 2013 self-titled album. What do you think? Again, I agree that changing things up in that section is good and I'm open for different ideas, I'm just throwing something out there. :-) --Eddyspeeder (talk) 23:04, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
