Back to Basics (Christina Aguilera album)

Thank you for your contributions to Back to Basics (Christina Aguilera album). Some edits have been made to the article in order to bring it into harmony with Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Please familiarize yourself with the guidelines shown there. All edits that do not follow these guidelines have been changed to match what our MoS recommends. Wikipedia does not require writers to follow all or any of these rules, but their efforts will be more appreciated when they do so. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums.

Mariah Carey

Your recent contribution(s) to Wikipedia are very much appreciated. However, you did not provide references or sources for your information. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. Can you provide in the article specific references to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content in the article? You can use a citation method listed at inline citations that best suits each article. Thanks!

Re: Britney Spears discography

It doesn't appear that there's been any attempt to discuss this issue on the talk pages, and because of this I'm hesitant about protecting the article. I have reverted it to the version you say is accurate, though. Extraordinary Machine 21:02, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Christina Aguilera discography

It is vandalism!, because of her web site "says" that Christina Aguilera has sold over 25 million [no Back to Basics] (it's more logical 12.5+9.5+2.2+3) not 36 million (16+12+5+3). Kraft. 18:23, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Do not change Christina Aguilera discography any more! I think you even haven't read the real sources and obviously the last message that I sent you... please see: talk:Christina Aguilera discography.Kraft. 22:14, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

WARNING

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to Coloratura, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you.

You deleted several significant edits to the page and replaced it with unsubstatiated edits. Nowhere in any of the sources you cited did it say anything about coloratura. Additionally your edit pattern is notoriously similar to a sockpuppet's that has been banned. If you continue to vandalise the article I will report you to Administrator intervention against vandalism and the sockpuppet notice board. You do realise just having a similar location to one or more editors with an almost identical editing pattern will most probably lead to a block for you, yes? --I'll bring the food 23:32, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for vandalizing Wikipedia. If you wish to make useful contributions, you are welcome to come back after the block expires. Yamla 15:56, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

My Deepest Apologies

I would like to deeply apologize for incorrectly reverting your edits... I've been on a revert storm this evening and simply overlooked the edit (I was confused because Pocahontas was released in 1995...) Again, my apologies. Moogle10000 03:02, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Calm down

I am glad you see how irritating it is to have to constantly fight a never ending war with anonymous editors as I have had to for over 6 months, but there is no point in getting stressed over it, the user is more than likely feeding off it.--I'll bring the food (Talk - Contribs - My Watchlist) 21:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Flavor of Love (Season 2), is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Miranda 19:14, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Jean Grey

Dear 5 octaves, hello and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate you coming here to contribute, however your recent edits to Jean Grey have not helped the encyclopedia and have now been removed. If you continue to do this, you will be blocked from editing for a while, possibly even indefinitely. We'd rather not do that and would rather you contributed constructively, hence this minor warning. Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day! - ArielGold♥ Talk 02:45, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Leona Lewis' voice type

I'd like to know why you think that Lewis is not a coloratura. Wiki edit Jonny (talk) 11:45, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

She doesn't do trills, runs, and embellishes, or agile vocal inflections, she is not that comfortable in her soprano range, though she can hit it. You must not only have the range, but also the agility and there is no source that states she is coloratura.

Blair Butler

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Blair Butler. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. Gimmetrow 06:56, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

I didnt "allow" it on, it was just ... there. It will be removed too, that doesnt give an excused to add the whitney source. --— Realist² (Come Speak To Me) 20:36, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Whitbig.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Whitbig.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 15:15, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Whitney Houston page

Look here buddy, Whitney Houston IS a MEZZO-SOPRANO. I have a good source saying she is. And thanks oh so very much for calling me an idiot. That is the pot calling the kettle black. Leave the page alone!! Sheesh :\ Tribal44 (talk) 17:27, 3 October 2008 (UTC)Tribal44

Like whom? The admin? Whitney is a mezzo-soprano and thats that. Tribal44 (talk) 20:48, 3 October 2008 (UTC)Tribal44

Then go away, jerk. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tribal44 (talk • contribs) 20:56, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

How you YOU finding a source on her being a mezzo, huh? Since you are so good on finding sources.

Maybe you don't want to admit she's REALLY a mezzo. Tribal44 (talk) 21:03, 3 October 2008 (UTC)Tribal44

How am I vandalizing?

And, I posted both of the vocal types. Happy now? Tribal44 (talk) 21:21, 3 October 2008 (UTC)Tribal44

Now who's looking like an idiot? Posting copyright pictures and posting fansites as references. I was right all along. Karma comes back in full force. Tribal44 (talk) 01:56, 10 November 2008 (UTC)Tribal44

You were never right. I still have many encyclopediaic sources siting Whitney as a soprano. And for your info, that picture WAS MY OWN. I got it from an an old magazine and I scanned it on my computer and I cleaned it up. Thank you. And that "fansite" reference had a very reliable NEWSPAPER reference for Whitney's soprano. 5 octaves (talk) 20:59, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

You didn't take the picture, so technically its not really your work. And fansites are not reliable sources. You just won't accept the the fact she is a mezzo so that is why you have to be so anal about it. You are wrong again. Tribal44 (talk) 00:13, 17 November 2008 (UTC)Tribal44

Fansites are reliable sources when they get their sources from reliable sources. Whitney is probably a mezzo NOW, but in her prime, she was not.5 octaves (talk) 02:35, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Whitney Houston

I take it this is still ongoing? I see there has been little discussion about this on the talk page between you and User:Tribal44. There does seem to be a bit of edit warring and both of you have already broken 3RR and the name calling in the edit summaries and on each other's talk pages....not good. I've opened up a dialog on the the talk page. I suggest the both of you discuss the changes there instead of edit warring before I get the page protected.

Image permission problem with Image:Cache 269521406.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Cache 269521406.jpg. I noticed that that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Alro (talk) 23:10, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to speedily delete Image:Whitney Houston photoshoot 1990's-The Voice.jpg due to what I consider blatant copyright infringement. The image isn't your own work unless you took it with your won camera and have all legal rights to it; simply uploading it does not mean you own it. If you do own the legal rights to it, then you need to email me separately and show me proof. Orane (talk) 07:23, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Whitney Houston

In the Legacy section, shouldn't the use of the term "Black" be capitalized due to the fact that it is referring to ethnicity? For example, the article Black people does this.

All in all, though, whichever form is the best way to Wikipedia, it should be consistent throughout the article (of course) wherever it is noted/mentioned. Flyer22 (talk) 01:53, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see that the article Black people (from what I glanced of it) only capitalizes Black in referring to Black Africa in the In the sub-Saharan Africa section. Flyer22 (talk) 02:01, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
