Loudness war

For those who may be concerned...

I have > 1000 CDs which I have ripped to 13000 FLAC files. I have also analyzed all those files using flac analysis software.

Some of them were quite big sinners when it comes to "Loudness war" or clipping, and I did find some of those in the Loudness war page on wikipedia, but a number of the worst albums when it came to clipping was by Kanye West, including the worst of them all (with a margin), My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Thus I added it, linking to results created with the MasVis software, which is the reference software for measuring these problems as far as I have found out.

However, Binksternet removed my changes, with this comment "(Reverted 2 edits by Endian05 (talk): Rv... Self-published source. (TW)) (undo | thank)".

I do not understand the reason for this and reverted his revert. I hope we will not end up in some kind of revert-war...

Hi Endian05: I'm sorry this has to be your introduction to editing Wikipedia, but we cannot use your personal research to cite claims in articles. Please review Wikipedia:No original research for the full policy. You would need to provide a citation to a reliable, published secondary source (such as a book or magazine article written by an expert). --Spike Wilbury (talk) 14:49, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

I would support removing the example you left on my talk page, for the very reasons you mention. Sputnik is based on user submissions as far as I know, and not the published opinions of experts. Wikipedia is actually not concerned with "truth", but verifiability in reliable sources. --Spike Wilbury (talk) 17:29, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Forum posts are not reliable sources (and it appears you made the post?). I don't think you have read the policies I linked you to; this conversation isn't going to go much further unless you are willing to read and understand Wikipedia policies. --Spike Wilbury (talk) 19:28, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 18:49, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
