RFCs

I highly recommend that you start similar RFCs for Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep, and the likes. That could be like a good movement toward a fair approach to all articles. Shahid • ^Talk2me 10:53, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Actually a good idea, it should be removed from those articles as well --FMSky (talk) 11:09, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

I meant it for real, didn't mean to question your fairness. Still, I don't completely agree with you. Wikipedia should be neutral but factual positive commentary isn't necessarily bad as long as it is a good summary of the article. Who could ever doubt the fact that Streep is regarded as one of the most talented actresses today. Shahid • ^Talk2me 11:21, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Just a word to the wise--I know all too well how easy it can be to lose track of one's edits within a 24-hour period. Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 19:31, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

I get it. But I'm making unrelated edits to this page. They are not "warring", these are completely seperate issues in different areas of the article that i'm adressing in hopes of making the article more neutral --FMSky (talk) 19:33, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

I understand, and that's why I didn't template you or say I was going to report you. I won't. But 3RR is a bright line rule, especially on a page that has been contentious. Even a bunch of unrelated reverts around the page could very easily get an editor in trouble. I don't think I am telling you anything you don't know, but for me, reminders are helpful. Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 19:37, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Sure and trust me I initally didnt want to get this invested into the article. Its just tough when every good-faith change (even minor ones) is immediately reverted, so I'm just trying to find some common ground--FMSky (talk) 19:38, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Tupac changes

I edited Tupac's lead using sources that contained the opinion of an academic, what's more even an administrator told me that I have good sources. Why consider this a puffery? I have tons of other academic sources that describe Tupac as both a very influential activist and one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Wikipedia should be a page of information, not a page of personal ideas. Just as it is written to other artists in the lead that they are among the most influential artists of the last century, it must also be written to Tupac. If not, what are academics for? Tupac was a very influential figure culturally and in various fields. Pier1999 (talk) 10:50, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Confusing edit

Why did you change the genres to not be in alphabetical order and change the last album to be inaccurate here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cometh_the_Storm&diff=0&oldid=1219842174 ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:58, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Dude whatever, just revert it then --FMSky (talk) 11:45, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

I dont think genres need to be alphabetical --FMSky (talk) 11:47, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

By why change their order at all? How is it better being not in alphabetical order? This is what is confusing to me. And why you made the chronology inaccurate. I just don't understand what motivated that. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 11:50, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Cause they're imo more stoner metal so i listed that first but if you disagree just revert it

and i put the album there cause this is a studio album chronology, the other was an EP (without an article) FMSky (talk) 11:52, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Per WP:ALBUM, these chronologies include all albums, not just studio releases. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 11:53, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Even ones without article? pretty weird, since this is mainly for quick navigation --FMSky (talk) 11:55, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Yes, otherwise, it would be misleading. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 11:57, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Reverts

Why do you always revert my edits? Most of the time I don't care, but why would you undo my edits on Christopher Saint Booth and Philip Adrian Booth? I added infoboxes and more detailed information. Furthermore, on the Ulterior Motives article, you also reverted my edits when the article itself is a song and should be written like a song article (with the other info surrounding its status as a lostwave song). Autograph84 (talk) 21:27, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

On Ulterior Motives it was just an unhelpful rewording on your part that even introduced grammatical errors, and you added a second short description when the article already had one https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ulterior_Motives_%28song%29&diff=1221564712&oldid=1221556784 "The song's was discovered" --FMSky (talk) 21:58, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

I've reverted your comment at Talk:Antifa (United States)

You know that wasn't helpful. Telling an editor something you know will be provocative and perhaps confusing is basically a forum style comment. Doug Weller talk 07:54, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Sheldon Murray

Hello FMSky. I wonder do you think that this user's edits need some discussion somewhere? They seem to be contrary to infobox advice. Or perhaps a Talk page warning might be required? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:50, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi FMSky--please explain to the editor why you reverted them. There are no edit summaries and the talk page is a red link, and I think I can guess why you did that but an explanation is appreciated. Drmies (talk) 15:42, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

yes but this is an obvious sock, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Sheldon_Murray

"Claims"

Please note that in general, articles should not use the words "claim" or "claims". We use said, stated, described, wrote, commented, and according to. See WP:CLAIM. This is in reference to your revert to my edit at Tony Robbins. If you want to change it to "According to <whatever source>, blah blah", that's fine, but there is noting wrong with "reports" (which I used before) or "states that" which I used this time. Neither implies truth. The use of "claims" however implies that we doubt the source, which we don't. Skyerise (talk) 19:33, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Laken Riley

Hi! I'm having trouble understanding why you made this edit. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (violence and deaths) says that if someone hasn't been convicted of murder, we shouldn't put "murder" in the title. Shouldn't that apply to the rest of the article too? Clearly she was killed, but murder has a legal definition and not all killings count as murder (e.g., manslaughter). The suspect has been charged with murder but not convicted. Gottagotospace (talk) 21:47, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Murder is basically a synonym for killing in common usage --FMSky (talk) 22:00, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

@Gottagotospace @FMSky

Perhaps it can be viewed this way. Wikipedia is not a court of law. While we have to assume innocent until guilt is proved, we can also use some measure of common sense. The death was obviously a murder. Whether the suspect did it or not, it was not an accident, nor is there any possible indication of self-defense on the part of the killer (whomever that may be). Now if the suspect does happen to be guilty, and pleads manslaughter in exchange for a lighter sentence, are we going to change the article to "The Manslaughter of Laken Riley," as if she was struck by a drunkenly driven car? I have wondered under what circumstances the "ignore rules" guideline is to be utilized. I think this is one such place. Thank you, TanRabbitry (talk) 22:03, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Since this may turn into a lengthy discussion, can we move this to the Talk page of the article so other interested editors can chime in? Gottagotospace (talk) 22:05, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

@Gottagotospace Good grief, I hope it doesn't. I don't have any objection, however. I can copy my previous comment over there. TanRabbitry (talk) 22:07, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Shadow Project: goth metal or not?

Greetings... You did a revision on the genre section of the Shadow Project article, on 22 February 2024, where you removed the gothic metal link and reference. You justified it by stating that "gothic metal didnt even exist in the early 1990s". Well, it did: Paradise Lost's Icon (1993) and Type O Negative's Bloody Kisses (1993) are generally considered the ground zero for the genre. Credible sources such as Decibel's "Hall of Fame" put the genesis of goth metal even earlier: PL's Gothic (1991); coincidentally, the same year that Shadow Project's self-titled debut came out. I won't revert your edit, that's not the point of this message... At least, until I find credible sources. Just sharing this tidbit of information. Thanks for the attention. CalmonTellechea (talk) 13:06, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

No seeing other people's likes

I wasn't sure where to put this and I somehow did not see where similar information was added, but would it be okay to re-add my edit right after what was already there?

Anti-Western Sentiment political parties

Hello FMSky! There is some Anti-Western Sentiment political parties appears in Europe. The hungarian Our Homeland Movement, the slovakian Republic Movement, the another slovak party People's Party Our Slovakia, and the bulgarian Revival. These political parties are Anti-Western parties, and also Pro-Russian and Pro-Putin parties, that support Vladimir Putin, and they hate Ukraine and Zelenksy. These parties hates the West, because of the LGBTQ propaganda, George Soros, Alex Soros, the Same Sex Marriages, and the Liberal democracy. These parties are Far-Right, and they are hate the Pride, like Budapest Pride, and the other Prides in Europe. This is true FMSky. I know, that you don't care about politics, but i've listened the news. Please leave a message to my talk page later. Have nice day. KovZXad1970 (talk) 19:53, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia Editing

With all due respect, it has come to my attention that Wikipedia is based on popular opinion and the admins' point of view, rather than factual and well-cited evidence. The Joy Division edits I made were based on an actual book, not just a self-published source, but were reverted to fit popular consensus and personal views. Things like "fringe theory" don't matter when it comes to providing factual evidence. The reader is more concerned about gaining knowledge than what is most popular. In other words, the article is about its subject, not what a group of admins think. Perhaps Wikipedia wouldn't be criticized as much if the information presented on this site was more genuine. Misterspaceman (talk) 21:44, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Locoporlavida

Hi FMSky, I've done some research and found out the person behind the accounts Hidolo and Locoporlavida is the same person called LokitaLokita (check it on the Spanish wiki). I'd like to propose a global ban for owning multiple sockpuppets since he's already banned from the Spanish wiki because of the same thing, but I'm not sure how to do that.

Jesy Nelson

Hi. What exactly did you find wrong with my edit that you decided to revert it? You did not provide reason. ArturSik (talk) 23:22, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Mainly just style issues ("5" for example should be spelled out as "five", see MOS:SPELL09) and you didn't provide a reason for removing the part "which received negative reviews" and the part about her personal life --FMSky (talk) 03:15, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

There are exceptions to this rule. See WP:NUMNOTES: “Comparable values nearby one another should be all spelled out or all in figures, even if one of the numbers would normally be written differently”. In this case, since 17 as a word is longer than 5, it seems more reasonable to use ‘17 and 5’ rather than ‘seventeen and five.’ Either way, it should be one or the other, not ‘17 and five.’

As to your other comments. Reception of singles is usually reserved for song pages and it seemed redundant to be included in the lead although I do agree that an exception could be made in this case since the criticism was so widespread it is what she’s currently associated with a lot.

‘Private and personal’ is tautological and the whole statement seemed out of place. Should be revised.

The revert seemed a bit rash. It might’ve been more sensible to just revert these two statements rather than the whole edit. ArturSik (talk) 07:23, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Revertion of country metal

Hi! What exactly are your rationals for reverting the country metal section on country rock. You said in the edit summary that it was a non-existent genre, however, Billboard uses the term, see here: https://www.billboard.com/pro/country-metal-music-hardy-brantley-gilbert-hard-rock/

And if you search Google, you will find topics related to the music genre, although, it is mostly Reddit, last.fm, and other user-generated sites, meaning the genre certainly exists, else people wouldn't be talking about it, lol. There is also Rebel meets Rebel by David Allen Coe featuring the majority of Pantera (everyone sans Phil Anslemo are present on the album), Hank Williams III, Matanza (whose article describes them as falling into countrycore, country mixed with metal and hardcore punk). I believe country metal is closely tied to southern metal and sludge metal, with one subgenre, countrycore. Moline1 (talk) 16:29, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Billboard uses the term, see here: https://www.billboard.com/pro/country-metal-music-hardy-brantley-gilbert-hard-rock/ no, actually only the headline uses it which cant be used per WP:HEADLINE (and its literally in quotation marks). Even if it was reliable, that one source isnt nearly enough to establish an entire genre. I doubt you will find any other reliable source using this term unironically. that david allen coe album is just standard ass southern metal btw --FMSky (talk) 16:41, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

I did a Ctrl+F on that Billboard article, and found a mention of country metal within the article, however, it does word it in a way that country metal does not currently exist. Here's the quote: Hayes says. “So I think, as this progresses, we’re going to see an entire subgenre come out of this, like country metal. I think it’s going to get heavier, and it’s going to get more crazy.”

So, with the way it is worded, it cannot be used. We'll need to wait for more artists to bring attention to this, which would then result in several sources beyond Billboard mentioning this. I'll drop the country metal thing for now, but, I'll keep checking Google from time to time to see if anything new and reliable comes in. As for southern metal, there also isn't any good results, plus, a user on here said southern metal is sometimes used synonymously with sludge metal (see the Southern metal edit history). Since there is disagreement on where that page should go, I turned it into a disambiguation that lists both sludge metal and southern rock. Moline1 (talk) 16:57, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

IShowSpeed

Was wondering what you meant by “Unsourced / sourced to random youtube vid” in your rollback. First, the reference was a Twitter post, and 2nd all I did was provide a word for word transcription of what he stated in his stream. Alexysun (talk) 10:38, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

the sources weren't WP:RELIABLE. twitter and youtube can be used as sources on occasion but only if its uncontroversial statements about the person themselves and when it doesnt involve third parties, see WP:ABOUTSELF --FMSky (talk) 12:36, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

While I agree that the commentary on the tweet cannot be used, it is certainly permissible to extract a direct quote from the subject's own stream. Additionally, I would like to emphasize that the quote is already present in the article. I did not introduce the quote; rather, I have refined it to enhance its accuracy.

Featured picture scheduled for POTD

Hi FMSky,

This is to let you know that File:Marie Curie_c._1920s.jpg, a featured picture you uploaded, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's picture of the day (POTD) for August 21, 2024. A preview of the POTD is displayed below and can be edited at Template:POTD/2024-08-21. If you have any concerns, please place a message at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day. Thank you!  — Amakuru (talk) 07:40, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Marie Curie (1867–1934) was a Polish and naturalised-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. Born in Warsaw, she studied in Poland until she was 24, when she moved to Paris to earn her higher degrees. In 1895, she married French physicist Pierre Curie, and in 1903 she shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Pierre and physicist Henri Becquerel for their pioneering work developing the theory of "radioactivity" – a term she coined. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. She won a second Nobel Prize in 1911, the first person to do so, for her discovery of the elements polonium and radium. Under her direction, the world's first studies were conducted into the treatment of neoplasms by the use of radioactive isotopes. During World War I, she developed mobile radiography units to provide X-ray services to field hospitals. She founded the Curie Institute in Paris in 1920, and the Curie Institute in Warsaw in 1932. This photograph of Curie was taken in around 1920 by French photographer Henri Manuel.

Section headings on talk pages

Hi FMSky. Thank you for changing the heading to something more descriptive, but it's still misleading as the price is in the article and not in dispute.

It is generally acceptable to change headings when a better heading is appropriate.... - Hipal (talk) 20:25, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work.

Rather than reverting the user's edits automatically, I've taken to manually editing it to restore the prior version so it doesn't show up in the user's notifications. 1995hoo (talk) 16:03, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Ted Nugent

If you're unhappy with the rearrangement I did on the Ted Nugent article, I'm happy to talk about it on the article's talk page. That said, please do not remove all of the additional sourced content I added to it, which included things as uncontroversial as which guitarists he influenced.Hoponpop69 (talk) 16:14, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

I've since restored your version --FMSky (talk) 16:15, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Non-attributed translations

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from de:Unto Others to Unto Others (band). While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Wikipedia article, this is supplied at a minimum in an edit summary on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation and linking it to the source page. Sample wording for this is given here. If you forgot, or were not aware of this requirement, attribution must be given retroactively, for example:

NOTE: Content in the edit of 01:25, January 25, 2023 was translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution.

Retroactive attribution may be added using a dummy edit; see Repairing insufficient attribution. It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{translated page}} template on the talk page of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, you must add attribution retrospectively, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. JTtheOG (talk) 16:54, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

@JTtheOG: I did exactly that in my edit summary here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Unto_Others_(band)&oldid=1250036883 --FMSky (talk) 16:55, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

My apologies, my script must not have picked up on it. I would say to make sure to include the link to the foreign-language article in your summary. Cheers, JTtheOG (talk) 17:16, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Black Flag revision

I'm curious why you reversed many of my edits on the Black Flag page with the accusation of a sock(?). The added material was referenced with verifiable sources and the removed material was unreferenced and did not fit WP:MOS. The edit in question is here.-- Chimino (talk) 23:59, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

I meant the large-scale mass deletions by this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/CatTits10 --FMSky (talk) 00:05, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Blackbear

Please stop insisting Blackbear is not a musician. You improperly renamed the article 2 years ago and were outvoted, so coming back to claim he doesn’t play instruments is unwarranted. If you’re confused by the decision, please refer back to the discussion to refresh your memory.

Kari Lake "Other views"

I can agree with the latest edit on Lake's page, thank you. The wording expresses the relevant points intended by the cited sources. I am also amiable to re-wording about the relevance of her daughter, a minor at the time, attending an event with a drag performance. That was the correlation, though it was not stated in the article previously as you pointed out. So, I found the AZ Republic reporting which includes both Lake's direct response and her campaign spokesperson's response, Ross Trumble. Lake clarified that she supports adults attending drag shows; at the same time, Trumble did acknowledge that her minor daughter was present when a drag performer appeared as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator for entertainment. That is where the criticism is related to her other position that drag queens are potentially harmful to children, but her minor daughter was present with a drag queen impersonating Marilyn Monroe. If you want to take a look and re-word or make changes, I am letting you know here so you know in advance. Thank you again. SeminarianJohn (talk) 07:26, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Influences of Children of Bodom

Hello. I noticed that you have edited the article about Children of Bodom (influences section). Can I know why? Because there were the right bands that inspired them, through that ref that I attached before. I don't know where did you find that list, but I must tell you that is incorrect. Thank you. Loyal to Metal (talk) 22:06, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

@Loyal to Metal: Hi, the source you added is not reliable https://www.givememetal.com/about-us The one currently in the article is an interview with one of the band members --FMSky (talk) 04:04, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Revert

You have reverted the file to an earlier version. Are you sure that this is the best version? -  Gisbert ツ (talk)  Illustrate Wikipedia !   05:41, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I mean this version looks great and the other one is quite clearly an AI upscale, which is discouraged --FMSky (talk) 09:29, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

A revert

Listen, I don't want any trouble. I definitely want to contribute. But that's not the way the influences were before. I don't know where did you find that list, but I have to say that is inncorect. Loyal to Metal (talk) 04:54, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

@Loyal to Metal: As stated a number of times, the source you inserted into the article is a fan blog and therefore clearly not reliable --FMSky (talk) 06:01, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

The situation goes out of control

I don't understand where have I mistaken about that small change on heavy metal now. Are you gonna fight me forever on what's better written on Wikipedia? Loyal to Metal (talk) 07:19, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Elon Musk anti-woke anti-muslim islamophobia

@FMSky as previously you reverted my edit Elon Musk is in trouble for sharing a meme that is against Islam.(Middle East Eye) Humza Yousaf, a politician who has faced racism and Islamophobia, called Musk a "race baiter" for sharing the post. QalasQalas (talk) 20:04, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
