Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Indie pop, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it.

The Show preview button is right next to the Publish changes button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Douglas Santana (talk • contribs) 06:27, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

OK, thank you. I find that I save everytime I add or find some new piece of information. I'll try to write everything on my sandbox first before fully saving a page from now on. DaveELeonard (talk) 06:30, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm PerfectSoundWhatever. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Independent music, 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. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 04:40, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Unblock request

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

DaveELeonard (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

Hey, just want to say I've been an editor that's been getting blocked for sockpuppetry by user Binksternet for about 2-3 years, when I started editing on wiki I was underaged, and made a lot of mistakes. I ended up getting my account blocked, but then later learnt how to properly use the site. The main argument was that I had a conflict of interest because I was a zealous fan of the Red Krayola, but I have no correlation to the band members, as I was only 14 when I started editing even so. I've learnt that wikipedia isn't the place for fanaticism and promptly learnt how to edit objectively, added a lot of good relevant information which people thanked me for or even got passed on across these musical communities as they were important but not previously known. I do not know how to go about the unblocking process, but please, if I can be pointed what to do to get my account unblocked and so I can return as a valid editor and don't have to make alternate accounts, please let me know how. Anyone who has any opposition with my editing can tell me what I'm doing wrong (as in unreferenced edits which I will amend accordingly and respectfully). It has just annoyed me greatly that a lot of my work the last few days have been removed and there's no way to get it back. If the case that I can never return to the site, then okay. I will never come back ever again. But if there's a possibility that I'm allowed to just have these constructive edits please let me know how to go about that.

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:
