Kenny Rogers

edit

I removed it because it was original research. Things like "The album is noted to mix music genres and is heavily influenced by the disco sound that was popular at this time. However neither of the album's two singles "Coward of the County" (a strong country story song) and "You Decorated My Life" (a love ballad) show any great disco influence." must be backed up by a reliable source. You can't just listen to the album and say "this sounds more disco" and state it as fact on Wikipedia; you absolutely MUST find a reliable source wherein someone else who's a reputable person (like a third-party review or something) states that the album is more disco.

That is nonsence. Do we need to find reliable reviews that state Beethoven was a classical composer before we add this to Wikipedia, or reviews that state "rock around the clock" is a rock n roll song. Ridiclous! BennyTV (talk) 20:26, 10 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

It's not ridiculous, it's called WP:V. Anything stated as fact needs a source, and any opinions must be presented as such (e.g. "Critic X thought that album Y had a more disco sound than Artist Z's previous albums").

Did you not read what I just said? Also, ANI thread about you. DO NOT re-add the info again; YOU NEED A SECONDARY SOURCE THAT ISN'T YOUR OWN TWO EARS. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 20:31, 10 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

You may wish to remove the complete intro to Blue Suede Shoes seeing as none of it's sourced and how you feel removing such unsourced claims improves this site! 20:46, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 20:35, 10 September 2010 (UTC)Reply


WARNING

edit

  This is the only warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did to Kenny (album), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Please do NOT persist in adding clearly unsourced information to Wikipedia, you are in breach of the 3 Revert Rule, and you may be blocked if you continue.

What happend to consensous, or "citation needed" tags? DISGRACEFUL behavoiur from those who CLAIM they want the best for this site! 20:41, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

The core policy on verifiability states that Anything that requires but lacks a source may be removed. There is no necessity to tag things.
If someone disagrees with an edit you make, please do not repeat it - that leads to an edit war, and blocks, etc. Instead, please discuss edits on the article's talk page.
Before you are blocked, please take the time to read WP:DISCUSS, WP:CONSENSUS. Thanks,  Chzz  ►  20:46, 10 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Blocked

edit
 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule at Kenny (album). During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

When your block wears off you might want to also read up on Wikipedia's definition of reliable sources. -Selket Talk 20:49, 10 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • So the reader looses out, because peoples ears aren't good enough. Doubt you've even heard the album! 20:57, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

I wonder if you blocked the other editor, the person who removed the info in the first place without using the discussion page, on the same grounds, as he too reverted as many times...

If I removed all the unsourced info from Mamma's Waiting, it'd be a blank article. Not all songs are notable, even if they do appear on multiple albums. I will grant that you're starting to do things the right way; "The professional review on allmusic.com by Stephen Thomas Erlewine also notes that the album mixes music styles from Country to Disco" followed by a source is perfectly fine. What's more, "charted album in the UK" probably does translate to notability for an album. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 16:08, 13 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Evergreen (Westlife song) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Evergreen (Will Young song). This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Also note that the article is at the correct location as Westlife were the original artists. AnemoneProjectors 10:09, 15 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
