I am in touch with Peter's niece who thanked me for restoring his real name, Peter, on his Wikipedia page. I cannot believe you keep reverting it to a made up name. Do you not believe he was born Peter? Space Rodeo (talk) 01:20, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

@Space Rodeo: Wikipedia isn't really about personal beliefs but about proper sourcing. See these two relevant pages on Wikipedia policies and guidelines: Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

The name that is currently in the article is backed by a book reference which seems reliable enough. You changed the name without citing a reliable source. If you want the name changed you will have to cite one that supports the name. Robby.is.on (talk) 07:22, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

I did and I cited the website run by his family, as per their instructions. Not sure how that isn't reliable. His birth name is not a personally-held belief. Unfortunately semi-obscure rock stars don't tend to always have reliable information about their birth. They do sometimes do have poorly researched books written about them. He was a singer not a historical figure. I'm guessing you're a Wikipedia hobbyist and not a fan of this band, yes? Space Rodeo (talk) 09:13, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

@Space Rodeo: Oh, right, sorry, I missed that. Apparently, @Gargaj: removed the website reference (link) with an explanation in the edit summary why it is not reliable citation: "citation is a copy of wikipedia". This action is backed by WP:CIRCULAR which states: "Also, do not use websites that mirror Wikipedia content or publications that rely on material from Wikipedia as sources. Content from a Wikipedia article is not considered reliable unless it is backed up by citing reliable sources. Confirm that these sources support the content, then use them directly."

Unfortunately semi-obscure rock stars don't tend to always have reliable information about their birth. I agree that is a problem. It's one we frequently face here on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, the book seems to be the best source we have right now (?).

I'm guessing you're a Wikipedia hobbyist and not a fan of this band, yes? Correct. I just happened to notice your post here because I had FMSky's Talk page on my watchlist from when I posted here myself in April. I had not heard about Peter Steele before, all I knew was that a band called "Type O Negative" existed. Robby.is.on (talk) 09:34, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

	SORRY I thought you were reverting my constructive edits Squapooski Bazooski (talk) 18:29, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Hey there, I'm Beemer03. I was reviewing Justin Bieber's YouTube and Twitter Subsection and noticed that you re-added the following information:

Six of Bieber's music videos (more than any other artist) listed in the top 40 most disliked videos on YouTube.< ref >"Justin Bieber video is most complained about of all time on YouTube". The Daily Telegraph. London.< /ref >

My question is whether this information is actually necessary. He may have charted six videos on that list many years ago, but that is no longer true. Statistically this is incorrect because in the List of most-disliked YouTube videos, he only has one in the top 50. Kindly revert this. You can let me know what you think on my talk page. Thanks.

You’ve removed my cited statements in the intro of Dave Chappelle’s article. What is the reason for this? It’s not fair you took it off when no one else seemed to have an issue with it for a long time. AfroWorld33 (talk) 02:42, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello, would you be able to re-add the reverse dunk photo in the article so the layout does not get messed up please as we tried? Thank you.Coachpc (talk) 03:14, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Hey, I was reviewing Justin Bieber's Home Page and noticed that you deleted the portion "Often referred to as the "Prince of Pop" from the first paragraph. Media companies globally have given him this reference since 2012. If you go to "Honorific nicknames in popular music", you will find it there as well. Additionally, I gave a Billboard article citation that talks about this. Kindly revert this. You can let me know what you think on my talk page. Thanks.

Why are you rolling back my changes. I am the producer of Magic Man and other shows and your changes are wrong and make no sense. Please explain what I'm missing. -Bill Kalush — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wkalush (talk • contribs) 15:00, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I understand that several people had opposing point of views for the portion of text you deleted. This title is not given to him by me, but rather by music consumers globally and it is exactly why it is given in the "Honorific nicknames in popular music" page. As an editor, I am simply allowing it to be recognised and that is my responsibility. It is my responsibility to ensure that readers are exposed to the latest information. I evidenced the statement with two valid citations, both of which imply that he has achieved artistic recognition for his work. If it is all the same with you, I can create a clause in the Edit Source Section to put this in writing. It is very straightforward and nothing over-the-top. It is just an honorary title. I hope you understand. You can let me know what you think on my talk page. Thanks.

Hi,

I have seen that you edited the review for cod infinite warfare, but the campaign has been rated higher by everyone else when I checked online, and even the fans of the franchise agreed that the campaign was the highlight of the game,n so there is no way that reception to the campaign were mixed Crowkid55555 (talk) 02:36, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi FM. I think you should check sources on the Whitney Houston’s page before remove something. These are reliable sources. Most of the sources were taken from CNN, ABC, Rolling Stone and Sony. Thank you so much. Phạm Huy Thông (talk) 19:31, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

I'm letting you know now before formally warning you that your edits are disruptive. You cannot remove something that is clearly supported by the article as you did on Dr Dre and Eminem. The infobox is for all fame related occupations. The article lead is for most notable career occupations. For example, Dr Dre has appeared in several character roles as an actor. This fits the qualifications for the info box. Furthermore in regards to the Tyga page for example, any artist who writes some portion of their own lyrical material is clearly a singer-songwriter by very definition of the page. For you to revert singer-songwriter into singer and songwriter separately, with the explanation that they are not singer-songwriters, makes absolutely no sense. I believe your edits are just you being misinformed and not that you are actually attempting to vandalize, so I'll tell you now to stop doing it. If you do it again you will be formally warned and reported to the admins board. If you have an issue with the edits, take it to the talk page for consensus but as of now what I have in place is supported by everything in the article(s). ChicagoWikiEditor (talk) 00:51, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

@ChicagoWikiEditor: read the definition of singer-songwriter for fucks sake. it requires someone to play instruments in addition to writing their own songs. I will therefore continue to revert suchs edits of you FMSky (talk) 07:33, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

"Singer-songwriters often provide the sole accompaniment to an entire composition or song, typically using a guitar or piano." FMSky (talk) 07:37, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

• @FMSky: See you at the admins board. Read the "Multi-tasking songwriters" section of the songwriters article, and cross reference that with what I told you about how separating the labels implies the artist writes music for others. Also educate yourself on the word "typically". Cheers. Please do continue to revert my edits. Good luck with that, walking down my history and changing article supported information. I don't care how triggered you get lol ChicagoWikiEditor (talk) 17:20, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

We need at least one adjective to describe the singer's voice, as well as explain why her vocal performance is influential. “Soulful” with a popular gospel singer like Whitney is nowhere near “peacock”. Other vocalists they have dozens of praise adjectives on the opening. Phạm Huy Thông (talk) 17:47, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

According to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, SOUL is "music that arose out of the black experience in America through the transmutation of GOSPEL and RHYTHM AND BLUES into a form of funky, secular testifying."...characteristics are a call and response between the soloist and the chorus, and an especially tense vocal sound. The style also occasionally uses improvisational additions, twirls and auxiliary sounds Phạm Huy Thông (talk) 18:13, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello, in order to avoid an edit-war, I'm writing you here. I reinstated the "lead too long" template because the lead was still 1/5 of the written text of the entire article body, obviously still too long. I explained this in my edit summary but you proceeded to revert without addressing my argument.

Regarding the situation now, I obviously didn't delete the "whole lead." There was clear undue emphasis on parts of their pre-YouTuber career, as well as their podcasts, all things they are not primarily known for, hence undue for a lead section. I strongly believe that my version is a clear improvement as it is much more in line with WP:LEAD and should be reinstated. Throast (talk | contribs) 14:23, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

yes, but your ultra-short lead imo lacks the necessary context, eg too much emphasis on her working as a stripper/model. so its better imo to have a slightly too long lead instead of one that leaves out information --FMSky (talk) 14:32, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

If you argue that the lead shouldn't "leave out information," then the lead becomes pointless. A lead concisely summarizes the most important points of an article and hence, by definition, leaves out information. My version is not "ultra-short," it's entirely appropriate for the length of the article. Listing artists they've done music videos for or listing their non-notable podcasts and second channel just doesn't seem due for the article's lead section. I don't understand how one can argue against that. Throast (talk | contribs) 14:40, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

I'm trying to make the article "to be written" . When information with are to many and contraversial, this makes it "not to be written" but just see the numbers. As it is written know, it reduces the purpose of the lists. Some of the references are good, some not and some are simply rubbish as the one of El Pais was that I deleted (fake and not updated information that one certain person can't understand). You obviously don't know my knowledge as you are not obliged to know. But now you know how to act. First see, and then decide as you did know. You can also write to me. Thanks. Γεώργιος Τερζής 2 (talk) 17:56, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

And I do mistakes as everybody except the Pope. But my purpose is the TRUTH and I definetely know when I'm writing something. But ideas, other opinions of the writing the truth are interesting and I'll like to know. I was locked for one month due to "troll" (I dislike social media and I don't know the meaning of this word). If I'll "punished" again, I'm not the one who is going to lose. If those I wrote are not interesting for you I won't be offended. I don't do things that others will like. These are for the politicians, not for me. Thanks. Γεώργιος Τερζής 2 (talk) 18:55, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! KyleJoan^talk 12:56, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi buddy, I'm sorry I was a little overconfident with my uploads. Although, I did not take them from websites but the same pics were available on some websites.

Hi FMSky. I noticed that you deleted the sentence "Bieber's versatile cross-genre approach towards music and showmanship have received widespread recognition." Many artist pages exclude references for opening statements, therefore the reference given to support it was out of formality. Perhaps it can be changed to - "Bieber's versatility in music and showmanship have received widespread recognition." --Beemer03 (talk) 08:03, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

do you have a source to support this statement? FMSky (talk) 08:14, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Here are two links - Link 1 and Link 2 that support the above claim. Please review and revert. --Beemer03 (talk) 11:03, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello FMSky, I wanted to give you a heads-up about a situation involving a user adding undue content regarding Roman Polanski at a few dozen biographical articles a couple days ago. See User talk:Abbyjjjj96#August 2021 for details. Based on a cursory glance at your contributions, you appear to be just a passerby, doing an AWB run or something similar, targeting a lot of different articles, some of which happen to coincide with the ones changed by AbbyJ. The reason for the heads-up, is that I suspect Abby's changes may need to be reverted en masse, and any further changes to those articles can make that more difficult. So, this is just a request to avoid other articles on Abby's list in your run, if that's even possible; it might make repairing the bios easier, if Abby's version is the most recent and it needs to be undone. If not, sorry for the bother and have a nice day. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 23:51, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi, just wondering what was the guidelines for removing instruments he uses from the info box? I want to make sure I follow this logic going forward. Thanks -Ddab (talk) 20:06, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

@Ddab: per Template:Infobox musical artist: "Instruments listed in the infobox should be limited to only those that the artist is primarily known for using. The instruments infobox parameter is not intended as a WP:COATRACK for every instrument the subject has ever used."

In the case of Will Evankovich, bass and mandolin weren't even mentioned once throughout the whole article, so i removed them. FMSky (talk) 20:08, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Ok understood...Will Evankovich played mandolin on the last Styx album and is listed in the credits on Crash Of The Crown, and he plays mandolin when they tour. It is mentioned regularly in several notable press stories he play mandolin and bass in addition to his other instruments. If we revised to properly state the instruments Evankovich is known for regularly playing we can revisit. Thanks for the taking the time to explain. Ddab (talk) 00:51, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

just please dont comment on topics you're not familiar with- not appropriate. I know what I'm talking about, I'm an active WikiProject Football member, stop belittling me because I disagree with you. Next time you post something like this, I'm going to WP:ANI to ask for you to be blocked. Comment on content, not editors- especially when your assertions are ridiculous and incorrect. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:51, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

And questions on my competence are ironic when you failed to create an RFC properly, and also failed to read WP:RFCBEFORE, which specifically said it didn't need an RFC. Instead of slating others, try being collaborative. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:55, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Chill mate, I just meant the player in particular, not football in general. FMSky (talk) 13:58, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Well it has been edit warred to include the nickname multiple times by different users in the last days if you look at the page history of Cristiano Ronaldo... ---

Hi IP user, as the infobox says, we only include league appearances and goals there, not cup games (including the Champions' League). Joseph2302 (talk) 10:01, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi FMSky - how are my edits nonsense? The date range article you linked to says two consecutive years can be abbreviated as 2010–11 or 2017–18 etc. Also, we abbreviate all consecutive date ranges for football seasons and competitions, i.e. 2007–08 Manchester United F.C. season or 2020–21 EFL Cup so why would that change for Ronaldo's article when the sections that I am editing are about specific seasons? Rupert1904 (talk) 13:49, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

yes but it also says, "non-abbreviated years are generally preferred"-- FMSky (talk) 15:39, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

So my edits are not nonsense then. No need to be aggressive and rude. And still, I am following the MOS for how years are abbreviated for football seasons and competitions. I see no reason why a section about his 2017–18 season with Real Madrid should be written as 2017–2018 as the Real Madrid article is not written as 2017–2018 Real Madrid CF season but 2017–18 Real Madrid CF season. I am being consistent. Rupert1904 (talk) 16:33, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

the rest of the article's heading has the full date range, so if anything you're making it less consistent. I'm also not the only one who reverted you if you haven't noticed. Like the other editor said, the dates are years, not seasons

Please read the article. The 2008–09 and 2017–18 sections are about specific seasons not years. If a change should be made, then either the multiple years should be condensed to season sections or vice versa and 2008–09 and 2017–18 should be incorporated into years so there is not a problem. You commenting on this and not being familiar with football MOS and being rude is also just super annoying and frustrating. Rupert1904 (talk) 18:38, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello!

As I noticed your long history contributing on Wikimedia Commons, and as I am unfamiliar with image copyrights and I wouldn't wish to upload an image that will end up getting removed later (I am afraid of doing something stupid), I would like to ask for a favor, if it's feasible, and of course if it is no bother for you: I would like to add an image of Tommy Hutchison in the list of men's footballers with the most official appearances, as the outfield player with the most appearances, but I couldn't find any relative image on Wikimedia Commons, so could you upload one? By the way, you can find some good images here, i.e. close-up, solo ones in color.

In case you can't, please inform me so...

Kind regards!

I really regret having to block you for edit warring over something as paltry as whether or not a solitary comma should be included in a list of items in a sentence. For what it's worth, I feel you are grammatically correct, and the IP should not have been inserting a final comma. But that's absolutely no excuse for such tit-for-tat editing across at least two, possibly more articles. You reported the IP to WP:AIV which was really not appropriate, and you and the IP have both been blocked for the identical short period of time to avoid further disruption to the articles. Nick Moyes (talk) 00:34, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

@Nick Moyes: Are you serious? The reason i reverted is to keep the article(s) consistent. The IP inserted a single serial comma into the lead but kept the rest of the article as it was, which creates and uneven style. i even said that the IP has been previously blocked for the same issue, and now i'm getting blocked without any warning? FMSky (talk) 00:41, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello. Thanks for reaching out. Look, I am serious about edit warring, but I do try not to act unreasonably. I'm sorry if you think I am doing so, and would be happy for another administrator to unblock you if they feel I did not act fairly. And I will look into the issue further lest I have 'jumped the gun'. At Jon Huntsman Jr. I don't see any edit summaries to help an ill-informed user understand the issue, or any discussion, so the constant switching back and forth is not helpful, and edit warring works both ways. The short block on both parties was to avoid further disruption, not to punish you, or the other IP editor. As it's pretty late at night here in the UK, and I might not be able too investigate further right now, I'm happy to nip over to WP:AN and ask another admin to review and unblock you if I've over-reacted. And you may make an unblock request. I will do what I can to look further into the actions of both parties. Nick Moyes (talk) 00:55, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

I mean i did clearly write "no improvement" at Jon Huntsman Jr. (and multiple other articles) and the IP even got reverted by another user for the same issue on multiple occasions... maybe i should've written a clearer explanation but i've known this IP for a while and it just gets annoying after a while. i will check the unblock options, thanks FMSky (talk) 01:03, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi again. I have removed the block I gave you for edit warring. It wouldn't be fair on you if I were to simply walk away and go to bed and leave you blocked without fully investigating. (It's happened to me, and it's not nice, I know) I also know you acted in good faith (and were grammatically in the right) by reverting the IP's very trivial edits. But please avoid such tit-for-tat reverting in future without making really clear your position, and communicating your reasons so the other editor (and people like me) can quickly see the efforts you've made to stop such nonsensical edit-warring edits.

@GiantSnowman: Seriously, what the hell are you doing right now? The size sets itself, it doesnt need to be specified FMSky (talk) 19:48, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

"It is standard to fix sizes in infoboxes" ???????? what does this even mean. You dont make any sense right now -- FMSky (talk) 19:53, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

It is standard to change sizes of images in footballer infoboxes, hence why the image_size= parameter exists. Any clearer? GiantSnowman 19:54, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

No it isnt, wtf? Where does it say that? FMSky (talk) 19:55, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

You've been here less than a year, I've been here nearly 16. See Template:Infobox football biography#Parameters and maybe start listening for once??? GiantSnowman 19:58, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

The parameter is for special cases to make pictures bigger when the image doesnt have the minimum required size, not to randomly set sizes... i see users all the time remove it, even admins (eg here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eric_Bailly&diff=prev&oldid=1057657726) FMSky (talk) 20:02, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

You previously claimed not to know the parameter even existed, now you say you do but it's only for 'special cases'? Nonsense. Please just acknowledge the parameter is valid and leave it alone and we can all get on with our lives? GiantSnowman 20:05, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Yeah you sent that link before. I presume you have no further arguments then? GiantSnowman 20:07, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

I know the parameter is valid, but it shouldnt be used in most cases as the preferred size sets itself ... im pinging @Mattythewhite: to see what the preference is ---FMSky (talk) 20:11, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

"image_size=" is deprecated, yes, but expanding or contracting an image using |upright may be necessary in some cases. MOS:IMGSIZE states: "Where a smaller or larger image is appropriate, use |upright=scaling factor, which expands or contracts the image by a factor relative to the user's base width." and "Short, wide images often call for upright of 1 or greater; tall, narrow images may look best with upright of 1 or less." Robby.is.on (talk) 20:25, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

i never touched the "upright" parameters, only the image size ones...FMSky (talk) 20:30, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

MOS:IMGSIZE literally says: "Except with very good reason, a fixed width in pixels (e.g. 17px) should not be specified." and "As a general rule, images should not be set to a larger fixed width than 220px (the initial base width)"--- FMSky (talk) 20:32, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Right. But in some cases, you might need to replace "|image_size" by "|upright" instead of just removing it. MOS:IMGSIZE literally says […] Yes, "|image_size" uses fixed widths, "|upright" does not. Robby.is.on (talk) 20:36, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

yeah but not replacing it leads to it automatically selecting the best size, which almost always looks best ¯\_(ツ)_/ --FMSky (talk) 20:38, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

How does that statement mesh with the MOS:IMGSIZE quote from above: "Short, wide images often call for upright of 1 or greater; tall, narrow images may look best with upright of 1 or less."? Robby.is.on (talk) 20:42, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
