  Hello! Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. At least one of your edits on the page Bad Girls (M.I.A. song), while it may have been in good faith, was difficult to distinguish from vandalism. To help other editors understand the reason for the changes, you can use an edit summary for your contributions. You can also take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ― Qwerfjkl | 𝕋𝔸𝕃𝕂  (please use {{reply to|Qwerfjkl}} on reply) 19:13, 2 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Star Trek Into Darkness. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. The capitalized 'I' has been agreed upon by consensus. If you wish to change it, you'll need to initiate a discussion at the article's Talk page. DonIago (talk) 17:26, 18 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to change genres without discussion or sources, as you did at Confetti (Little Mix album), you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet (talk) 21:24, 29 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

There's nothing to imply that "glam pop" is related to glam rock in any way Maxine McKeown (talk) 19:16, 30 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jheri Redding, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Conditioner. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Bangerz, you may be blocked from editing. Muhandes (talk) 12:55, 13 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

You failed to use an edit summary again with this edit. Also, genres need to be explicit per WP:EXPLICITGENRE. ≫ Lil-Unique1 -{ Talk }- 19:36, 22 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
You are still not good with edit summaries. Schwede66 05:31, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yes. Vroom Vroom would be labelled a soft rock record if a reliable source calls it so, but fortunately, none of the reliable sources do so—for a reason. We do not need original research on Wikipedia. You do not seem to understand WP:EXPLICITGENRE and WP:RS, so please read them thoroughly. Regards. ℛonherry 15:20, 15 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

This edit is POV and unsourced. The content of the article, and the lead, both enjoy very strong consensus based on a recent well-attended RFC, a recent Featured article review, and it is subject to double disretionary sanctions. Please see WP:FAOWN, and gain consensus for edits. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:51, 9 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

I see you have numerous warnings above for not using reliable sources or sourcing your edits; please become more familiar with WP:RS and WP:P&G-- you are no longer a new editor, and this kind of POV edit to the lead of a controversial BLP should not be happening.

Don't fiddle with unsourced genres

edit

Streamlining an IP editor's unsourced genres, removing one because you disagree with it, and listing them with bullet points doesn't make you much better than if you had added them yourself. Don't do this again. Remove unsourced genres, don't encourage them. Thank you. Ss112 07:06, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
