Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, even if you intend to fix them later. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. ::subst:test4}} The Real Libs-speak politely 15:44, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, as you forgot on your recent edit to All the Right Reasons. Thank you. Please use an edit summary, and discuss controversial changes. If you continue to revert other users edits you will potentially be violating WP:3RR Shadowjams (talk) 07:07, 15 June 2009 (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 a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. GripTheHusk (talk) 01:11, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

How do I explain them.

Step one is justifying removing Pop rock from articles, after repeated warnings (which you remove). Edit warring genres is a raw nerve for many editors, including myself, and several other editors I could name. While I'm sure you feel you're in the right, I can assure you that you are not. Band genres are typically nebulous and difficult to define with certainty- so we pay people lots of money to review albums and use their expertise to make that assessment. Altering their professional opinion, as reported on Wikipedia from reliable sources, is a violation of Wikipedia's policies on Original Research, Neutral Editing, and Article Verifibility. And for the record, those are the three core policies that all of Wikipedia is built upon. Please review WP:BRD before continuing to alter pages to fit your viewpoint. --King ♣ Talk 05:05, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. GripTheHusk (talk) 20:22, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Blocked

Gotica - I've blocked your account. Your edits to music articles, reverting back to your preferred genre dozens and dozens of times is absolutely unacceptable. I am also very concerned that you appear to be using multiple accounts and IP addresses to edit war. The block is indefinitely at this point but I am willing to consider unblocking you if I had a sense that you would stop your disruptive editing and edit warring and start discussing your reasons for wanting to make these genre changes with the other editors and try to reach an agreement with them - this is the way that Wikipedia works.

Please note that this block is not just a block of this account but a block of you personally and you are not permitted to edit Wikipedia with other accounts. You need to resolve these issues with this account before editing again with this or any other account. If you evade the block and continue editing with other accounts and IP addresses, your IP addresses will be blocked and any accounts will be blocked on site. Please respond here on this talk page, which you are still able to edit, and discuss your reasons for making these edits. Please also see the edit war policy WP:EW and note that the way you are editing, revert warring against other users dozens and dozens of times, trying to force your own way is not allowed on this site. If you wish to be unblocked you need to read and understand this policy and undertake to stop edit warring. Sarah 02:15, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
