Hello, I'm Binksternet. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Dance Gavin Dance, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I have noticed that some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Smoke + Mirrors (Imagine Dragons album), 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 seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. Thank you. Chamith (talk) 02:16, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to Tove Lo, without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you. IPadPerson (talk) 21:25, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

April 2015

Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to The Midsummer Station - Acoustic EP, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page.# Please stop adding flatlists when there are not more than three items in a list.

1. Please don't add unsupported genres, See WP:GWAR and WPV. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:05, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Hands All Over (album). This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Metacritic is not reliable for genre. Sputnik needs a staffer as writer, not a user. Failed verification on Rolling Stone which only says one song is power pop.

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Dancegavindance 2015.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Dancegavindance 2015.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 04:18, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Keyes (band)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Keyes (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. reddogsix (talk) 02:40, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Keyes band.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.

Block and a warning

Okay, look. You've been told that a source is required changing the genres listed for a band, album, or song, and you've been warned that doing it without providing a source is considered disruptive editing. You've been blocked from editing for this behavior before. You've been asked to engage in discussion with your fellow Wikipedians about the edits you're making, but you have never edited a talk page or user talk page to discuss anything, and you don't even use edit summaries to explain your changes. Therefore,

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for persistent disruptive editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Consider this your final warning before you are indefinitely blocked, because you are consistently making edits that violate Wikipedia's policy of verifiability, and you refuse to engage with the Wikipedia community regarding your behavior. —Darkwind (talk) 07:17, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Ref tip

Refill can fix the bare refs for you automatically, will save you lots of time and let you focus on the things that need manual intervention. https://tools.wmflabs.org/refill/index.php - in the manual are some instructions for adding this tool into your toolbox links so its easily accessible from every page. 115.164.180.120 (talk) 00:33, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia.

I thought I was clear enough in the message I left you above back in June. However, you've continued to change genres and add other unsourced information to articles, and show no signs of stopping. Therefore, I have blocked you as per the above. If you think you can make a convincing case that you will reform your behavior, please feel free to use the {{unblock}} template as described above, and another admin can review your situation. —Darkwind (talk) 20:29, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry

Please see User talk:Brokenfame. This user has declared at his userpage that he is a sock of this account. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:13, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Pistolplay, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Proposed deletion of Secret Band

The article Secret Band has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

non-notable group

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
