April 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Don't Wanna Cry (song) has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRMI93d2Xtg. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 04:57, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Deleting caption

Please stop You have deleted the caption to Everything That Happens Will Happen Today twice now. As I mentioned in my edit summary reverting you, this caption is required by WP:ALBUM, since the album has two covers. Please stop deleting this information. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:54, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

October 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Ohio (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young song). When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Norman Cook. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Trafford09 (talk) 11:25, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

System of a Down discography: ratings

Hi, I just reverted your last edit to the System of a Down discography. Why did you delete all the ratings? I'm not an active user in the Music project, so I don't know if there has been any decision in this matter, but I don't think so... In case, please point me to the discussion. --WikiKiwi ^(askme) 15:36, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Edit Summaries

Tip of the day... Please summarize your work using the Edit summary box If you make anything other than a minor edit to an article, it helps others if you fill in the edit summary. Edit summaries are visible in the page history, watchlists, and on Recent changes, so they help other users keep track of what is happening to a page. If you use section editing, the summary box is filled in with the section heading by default (in gray text), which you can follow with more detail. You also can put links to articles in the edit summary. Just put double brackets around [[the article title]] like you would normally. The summary is limited to 255 characters, so many people use common abbreviations, such as sp for correcting spelling mistakes, rm for remove, ce for copy-edit, etc. Prior tip – Tips library – Next tip Read more: Edit summary

April 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edits you made to Wasting Light have been reverted, as they appear to be unconstructive. Per WikiProject Albums, "When choosing which reviews to include, consider the notability of the review source and keeping a neutral point of view". "The Needle Drop" is not a professional review source and should not be included. For future edits, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing for further information. Thank you. -- Dan56 (talk) 10:34, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

June 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. I have noticed that some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Lines, Vines and Trying Times, have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you to seek consensus for certain edits. Thank you. ۞ Tbhotch^™ & (ↄ), Problems with my English? 03:21, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

December 2012

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to ¡Tré!, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Christian Älvestam may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

• | Genre = [[Rock_Music|Rock]], [[Progressive rock]], [Pop music|Pop]]
