Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in James D-Train Williams. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. Indoreli (talk) 09:27, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at James D-Train Williams, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Indoreli (talk) 14:44, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Could you please show me in the manual where I need to make the edits in order to follow the manual correctly? I do not wish to have the account blocked from editing, as I am D TRAIN's personal assistant and updating his brand name. Such as the capital letters to his name and his current marital status. I can prove who he is and the information, so any help would be greatly appreciated. What steps would I need to take in order for the edits to qualify? Thank you very much!

Hello, I have not heard back about my last message. After reading the links sent, I am still unsure where specifically I have been disruptive in my editing. I would greatly appreciate your further guidance on this matter. Thank you!@Indoreli Veastone (talk) 17:19, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Make sure read fully read the response I gave you on my talk page. The key policy to understand is MOS:ALLCAPS. The only thing disruptive about your editing was you repeating the same capitalisation without familiarising yourself with Wikipedia's Manual of Style. In simple terms, the guidelines suggest that even if D Train is stylised as D TRAIN it would be non-conventional to capitalise it that way every time the word D Train is mentioned in the article. A better way to denote this capitalisation would be to change the start of the article to something like this:

"James Nelson Williams (born 1962), known by the stage name D Train (stylised as D TRAIN), is an American singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, producer and actor."

This would be acceptable. However a reliable inline source would need to be provided to verify this. Personal documents like you suggested earlier would not be acceptable. Online accessible sources are preferred instead. Like I mentioned in my response to you on my talk page, you seem to have a conflict of interest with the article subject. If your unable to find reliable sources to verify this capitalisation then I would suggest that you don't continue to edit the article. Simply editing to prove a point is considered disruptive.

I'm not sure what else I can suggest. If your still unsure about the Manual of Style guidelines, you may wish to ask a question at the Wikipedia Teahouse. Indoreli (talk) 13:42, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
