editPlease refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at This Is Us (Backstreet Boys album). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 20:27, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Black & Blue (Backstreet Boys album). There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Don't change date formats between the mdy and dmy methods.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Stankonia. 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:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- 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. Binksternet (talk) 16:43, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

editHello, I'm Binksternet. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Don Cartagena have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Don't remove the magazine name from the citation! I can't believe you're still doing this after all our discussion. Binksternet (talk) 17:19, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- The magazine part of this refwerence has become difficult 2 look 4. I'm citing a web article now, neither its outdated version nor a magazine article 47.17.47.199 (talk) 01:26, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- I had a look after seeing Binksternet's ANI report, and you aren't making sense. The URL prefix is still "EW.com" (old URL preserved in the archived ref: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0%2C%2C285082%2C00.html; new URL: https://ew.com/article/1998/10/02/don-cartagena/); what do you mean the magazine part has become difficult to look for? When we cite an article's URL, we are always citing the online/web version; whether or not there's a print version too is immaterial; an online publication is still a publication. (And in any case, when this and the other refs were originally published, there was a print version.) The name of the publication/website/publisher is an important part of the citation; a reader shouldn't have to click on a reference to see where it was published (even though in this instance Entertainment Weekly appeared in the article text). Updating the URLs is useful work—in some cases, the original may not have been archived, and in many cases such as this one the archived version has wound up with scrambled formatting so readers may not realize the text is down the bottom under the mess. But please stop removing the name of the publication/website/publisher. Yngvadottir (talk) 01:59, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- IP editor, in response to your post at my user talk page, I'm afraid to say your position still doesn't make any sense. Many of the things we use as references become hard to find after a while, or always have been. Some of them are books that aren't in many libraries. Some newspapers impose paywalls on their archives, or only let you see a couple of articles before subscribing, and very few libraries have microform archives, and in any cases for very few papers. The internet has helped a lot, but URLs change or the page is taken offline. That's why we look for and add archive.org or other archived URLs (there's even a bot that searches for them automatically when it finds a dead link). And that's why you've been doing useful work finding the new URLs for EW references. But it was still EW when that reference was at that URL; the URL prefix is still the same. And the online version of a magazine—or an online-only magazine, like Slate—is still a magazine (or a "work", or a publication of a company doing business as EW), or a website called EW.com. And the reader needs to know what website/work/magazine/publisher the reference is from. It's not just an article floating in the air, out there somewhere. There's also the question of giving credit where credit is due. EW has built up a respected body of work; it's a reliable source here; it's not a name to be swept under the rug because it's not sold at news stands any more; and readers are entitled to make their own judgment about whether they trust EW as a source of reviews—just like you apparently have, that it's old and therefore you personally ignore it. The name of the publication—on-line or off-line—is actually more necessary, as context, than an updated URL, since the archived URLs you have been replacing did work, they just scrambled the formatting of the page so that it's necessary to scroll down to find the article text.
- I'm happy you responded to me, and it's perfectly acceptable to respond on the other person's talk. But I'm responding back at your talk page because since you're an unregistered editor, I can't "ping" you to let you know I've responded; and because I'm going to be pointing to our discussion at the noticeboard section, which is here. Do you want to respond at the noticeboard to the points being made there? I note that according to Binksternet you've switched IPs, so I'll be dropping a note on that IP's talk page too in case it is indeed you. And Binksternet also says you are now not removing Entertainment Weekly, just the link to the Wikipedia article about it. Thanks for that! Yngvadottir (talk) 23:31, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
- In response to your message today: one of the ones where you'd been reverted and I went back and reinstated your new URL had publisher=ew.com. You could use that if you want, although it doesn't make italics. Better would be website=ew.com, if you don't want the words "Entertainment Weekly" to appear in the reference for some reason. Yngvadottir (talk) 22:22, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- I can settle 4 "Entertainment Weekly", just not as a magazine in these references because they're from long ago, as a website instead 47.17.47.199 (talk) 03:37, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
- In my opinion that would be fine, if you change it to website=Entertainment Weekly. The change from "cite magazine" to "cite web" is already invisible to the reader (unless there's an issue number given, as someone has pointed out at the noticeboard), and website=Entertainment Weekly would produce the same result as work= or magazine=. I see also that your new blended archive URLs work; I changed one because I assumed they wouldn't, but the Internet Archive apparently uses just their archive code number to fetch the correct file. So I'm happy, and thanks for listening :-) (I can't promise every Wikipedian will be happy, of course. But if you do keep Entertainment Weekly in the cite, that's what matters to me.)

Hello, I'm Yoshi24517. I noticed that in this edit to Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Online) 19:40, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
