== Reversal on All in the Family ==

Regarding your reversal here [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=All_in_the_Family&diff=prev&oldid=1190245208], I wasn't sure if the objection was just to my modifications [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=All_in_the_Family&diff=prev&oldid=1190242974] to the recent addition of LGBT [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=All_in_the_Family&diff=prev&oldid=1190229451], or if you objected to the LGBT addition overall. I don't intend to edit further on this count. Just a note to say that if you object to the addition as a whole, you would need to revert a little bit further. Cheers.   <small><sub>''signed'', </sub></small>[[User:Willondon|Willondon]] ([[User Talk:Willondon|talk]])  20:08, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

::OK, then. I wasn't comfortable with the recent addition of LGBT being added ''as a further description'' of the homosexuality dealt with, because the broader LGBT range of issues is a modern-day expansion of the homosexual issues that the show actually dealt with in the 70's. Not to say that the full LGBT community wasn't acknowledged back then, but the show dealt with the limited constituencies of homosexuals. I was more comfortable with ''including'' LGBT, because the show dealt with transvestitism, but not presented as an enhancement to homosexuality, which I think would be a retroactive expansion of topics the show actually dealt with. I wasn't sure whether you objected to the addition overall, or just my copyediting, and were happy with the original addition. These areas can definitely be a quagmire. We're probably both better off leaving it to see if any other editors have an insight.

== About the edit on [[Steve Clark]] ==

Sorry about the confusion with the edit on the page for [[Steve Clark]]--I had removed the section about him and Pete Willis not providing backing vocals because that was unsourced, as was the section on Phil Collen being the lead guitarist of Def Leppard (DL doesn't have lead or rhythm guitarists, as both guitarists alternate between lead and rhythm, as is mentioned on the page). Somehow, I forgot to include "Citation needed" in the description for my edit, though. When you re-added it, I was going to remove it and point out the lack of sources, but then you removed it again. So thanks and sorry about the confusion, I'll remember to include reasoning for my edits in the future! <span style="font-family:times new roman">~[[User:DanTahHedgehog|'''[thehappyspaceman]''']] • [[User talk:DanTahHedgehog|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/DanTahHedgehog|stalk]] • [[Special:Block/DanTahHedgehog|block]]</span> 23:09, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

== British English articles ==

Hi, it may be as well to note that in British English articles, those where the subject (like Led Zeppelin) is unquestionably British, we use the Britishism of placing the definite article before noun phrases far more than American English does. Thus "the English rock band Led Zeppelin" is correct, and indeed essentially mandatory, in BE, even if it's not what people might say in AE.

Re: the Gibson EDS-1275 page, the Gear4music guitar is inspired by the Gibson but not directly related to it, just like the listed Ibanez/Harley Benton models. Why was my edit reverted, if those two weren't also removed? The Harley Benton model in particular sits in direct competition to the Gear4music one I added, as a budget modern reproduction of the EDS-1275.

:{{re|BraveDude8}} The best avenue in this type of situation is, open a discussion on the [[Talk:Gibson EDS-1275|article talk page]] and see if editors who regularly watch that page think that ''Gear4music'' is notable enough to add to the article.

== Italics ==

I see you've reverted my edit on Def Leppard's ''Hysteria'' - isn't ''Billboard'' supposed to be italicised? [[User:Geach|Geach]] ([[User talk:Geach|talk]]) 21:02, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
:{{re|Geach}} I think the hashes go on the outside of the brackets, <code><nowiki>''[[Foobar]]''</nowiki></code> no need to pipe the link.  - <span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS">[[User:FlightTime|<span style="color:#800000">'''FlightTime'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:FlightTime|<span style="color:#1C0978">'''open channel'''</span>]])</small></span> 21:06, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
::Doing it that way would also make the '200' of ''Billboard'' 200 italics though. But just looking at it again and comparing it with other good album articles there probably don't need to be links to the different charts in that section anyway as they're already linked to in the main charts section next to it - overlinking and all that.

Hello FlightTime, according to [[Special:CentralAuth/HëRe!|central auth]], there is no global account for HëRe!. The user was blocked in 2022 for sockpuppetry and has an SPI case page. So, I am not in favor of a rename without consultation with the blocking admin, but I am just asking if there is anything I am missing. :) – [[User:DreamRimmer|<b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer</b>]] ('''[[User talk:DreamRimmer|talk]]''') 14:46, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'd like to apologize for how I've acted.

I realize I should have reached out instead of ignoring other editors.

I personally have strong opinions about pages I feel should be edited, and I am wanting to know if you are willing to work with me? I have no animosity, and would like things to cool down.

I also feel like, even when I have posted in the edit summary and cited sources in the past, my changes have been erased, so that led me to feel like engaging with other people on this site was not worth it. Not to excuse myself, but to explain where I was coming from.

I want to actually work with people, and see everything that needs to be cleared for a change I make to be accepted among most people on this site.

:{{re|GabesLovesPortland}}, No problem.  - <span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS">[[User:FlightTime|<span style="color:#800000">'''FlightTime'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:FlightTime|<span style="color:#1C0978">'''open channel'''</span>]])</small></span> 15:09, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

:So I would like to make changes to, say, Pharrell Williams, to include his instrumentation and add genres that I feel he has made significant contributions to.

You said I didn’t have reference for my change in the ‘Moving Pictures’ post. 
I got an email from Terry Brown. That’s my source. 


~~ Hello Vince - thank you for your e-mail, of course you are correct. It was one of the first albums to be mixed to a digital medium,
but was recorded on 48track analogue using a Studer A800 and locked to an Otari to create a slave.
If I remember correctly we mixed to a Sony PCM 1600 and since 1980 I have only mixed one album to an analogue tape machine :) ~  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Vrsound|Vrsound]] ([[User talk:Vrsound#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Vrsound|contribs]]) 01:06, 3 March 2024 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
