Howard Stern

Just a heads-up - the edits you're making at Howard Stern, which you comment as FACT, should be supported by citations of reliable sources. The article has many citations already; one of them very likely supports the edits you're making. You can re-use an existing named reference like so: <ref name="NameGoesHere" />. Don't be bashful about asking for help on the article's Talk page, or at WP:IRC (here) either. --Lexein (talk) 18:08, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

June 2011

Thank you for your suggestion regarding The Moody Blues. When you believe an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the edit this page link at the top.

The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). Mlpearc powwow 18:49, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Welcome and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page Sam Phillips worked, and it has been reverted or removed. However, if you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox instead. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Just a heads up

Hey Owen,

Just so you know, this edit really should be avoided if possible, as it just litters the text with templates and is mildly disruptive. A simple template at the end of each paragraph (or even at the top of the section for that matter) would suffice. Have a good day! Kevin Rutherford (talk) 02:46, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nick Cave, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lawless (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Suicidal Tendencies 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.

March 2015

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Express Yourself (Madonna song). Your edits have been reverted or removed.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. Stop adding fact tags to the lead sections of articles that have perfectly good references for those facts in the article body. Binksternet (talk) 21:13, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Owenmadison (talk) 21:27, 2 March 2015 (UTC)== Madonna/Express Yourself ==

Binksternet removed my edits, edits that were asking for references. The first couple of paragraphs consisted largely of fan gushing. Those paragraphs also contained the writer's opinions on, for instance, what the song means. Who cares what one fan thinks? I'm looking for facts, not fan gushing. If those paragraphs have documentation later in the article, then I would seriously suggest moving them up.

Elvis Costello

Hello again

The Elvis Costello discography page continues to list For the Stars as an Elvis Costello album. Although it is credited to Anne Sofie Von Otter Meets Elvis Costello, it is simply a Von Otter album produced by Elvis. He wrote or co-wrote 8 of the 14 songs, many of which were previously recorded by Elvis. He plays on 2 songs and contributes vocals to 6. If you're going to include this album, why not Now Ain't the Time for Your Tears by Wendy James, for which Elvis wrote or co-wrote all the songs. Using Elvis' name may have been good for marketing purposes, but For the Stars is no more an Elvis album than The Sweetest Punch or Terror and Magnificence.

Hello

I was trying to move For the Stars to the "Albums which credit Costello as a featured artist" section. I clearly messed up. It has been a while since I edited. I apologize.

For the Stars was produced by Elvis, and he plays on some tunes and sings on 2 (I believe). The Annie Meets Elvis credit was probably done for promotional reasons, although this is just a guess.

If an Elvis fan were to seek out this record, they would be buying an Anne Sofie Von Otter album.
