Heartbreak on a full moon

Thank you for warning me about my slips, i'm new here and i admit that i didn't notice a couple stuff like if i was logged-in or not, but i wanna thank you for linking these pages so that i can understand better the way it works. But the revert you did on Heartbreak on a Full Moon was just remove wikilinks, Allmusic's sourced list of credits, correct sales indicated by Billboard, and other well sourced informations because of one "college paper source" out of 20 sources. If my edit was "not an improvement" as you said, yours was not an improvement too, to be frank it was quite the opposite. Anyways the college paper even has a wiki page, so i would consider it to be quite relevant, but this is not a mandatory thing, i get it. If the issue is about that one review let's discuss it on the talk page, beacuse to revert everything out of nowhere is unnecessary and harmful to the page. I'll wait you here.

Thanks for your attention--TomMMYway.sixtime (talk) 11:51, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would've liked to have a discussion with you about it, but you prefered to do false accusations, that i bet you'll win since you're so powerful here. I think it's kinda sad, but at least now i know why you're so loved, really a lot. Guess God don't make mistakes and your bully and vandalic acts will be stopped one day. Only thing i was really disappointed is that you had no balls to discuss about the actual edit, chapeau to your pettiness.--TomMMYway.sixtime (talk) 11:28, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Star Wars (film)

I believe there may have been vandalism on this page by somebody you have recently warned and whose Talk Page seems to suggest they get a lot of warnings. Can you check please? Thanks. Rodericksilly (talk) 00:28, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. I see it as block evasion. Binksternet (talk) 01:47, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was only improving the page putting the right information in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.10.37.178 (talk) 02:38, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

May 2020

I noticed that a message you recently left to 46.97.170.78 may have been unduly harsh. Please remember not to bite the newcomers. If you see others making a common mistake, consider politely pointing out what they did wrong and showing them how to correct it. It takes more time, but it helps us retain new editors. The edit warring template was warning is a bit nonsensical, there was no "repeatedly changing content back" User_talk:46.97.170.78 simply changed a small portion of what had been originally reverted, in an attempt to find a good edit. It was very clearly a WP:GOODFAITH edit. Nithin^talk 00:20, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The IP is blacklisted by dnsbl.spfbl.net which indicates to me someone who is not new to Wikipedia.

For some reason, the toned-down (softer) version of the edit warring notice was not available by way of Twinkle drop-down menu. I would have used it. Binksternet (talk) 16:21, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wait a minute. What exactly does "blacklisted" mean? I don't recall editing Wikipedia all that much in the past, especially not from the device I'm using now, and nobody else uses this device. I don't understand what's going on here. 46.97.170.78 (talk) 13:40, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alexander Duff

As per usual this editor prefers to remain Anonymous. I have read much about this personage and his family. So any new editors will pretend that i am interfering: but i started the article and intended to finish it before you are adding the advice "Cite sources". i have to say as per usual in America there are too many Chiefs and not enough Indians. This means that you are telling me to be informed when you are lacking everything, including the knowledge about this page!!!! Perhaps if you spent less time on programming and actually read some History, you may know what i mean. The Photos i added to the page, were there when i first wrote the article, because i research and found the images, and then added them. The trajectory that you project is nothing whatsoever to do with Alexander Duff. So please DO NOT interfere, since i am going to expand the article and write the history and Wikify the article in my OWN TIME. THANK YOU. So please DO NOT interfere with edits because they are properly added and cited and researched. AND. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.125.94.76 (talk) 16:57, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Thank you very much for your help on Zombie (song) Oroborvs (talk) 17:34, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You're quite welcome! Thanks in turn for your vigilance. Binksternet (talk) 22:04, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bandcamp

Yo Bink, been a while. Hope the covid doesn't have you too down. What are your thoughts regarding Bandcamp as a source for a discography? An example can be seen here. WP:ALBUMAVOID says to not use retail sites but do you think that applies in this case? Rob van vee 08:43, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bandcamp is where bands self-publish, so for guidance we look to WP:SELFPUB. Your linked example doesn't appear to violate the guideline as it is a case of bare and factual wording, not making extraordinary claims. Binksternet (talk) 16:46, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thanks for the reply. My concern stems from the fact that some rather unknown band such as this one could add a plethora of fake albums, EP's & singles etc to their discography in a veiled attempt to boost notability. Just wondering if good faith is in order. Rob van vee 09:51, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

May 2020

Hey just letting you know that any reasonable person would interpret your edit summary here [1] as homophobic. In the future please make your point without being so offensive, it harms the whole community. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 16:47, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's a big, beautiful world with lots of opinions in it. Even so, you're the first to think I'm homophobic. If that were true it would be quite a surprise to all my gay friends here in super liberal San Francisco Bay Area.

Perhaps what you're really seeing is casual language from someone who associates daily with gay men and women. Binksternet (talk) 16:57, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think the statement “Just a few _____” is pretty universally offensive when the subjects are victims of human rights abuse, primary rape, torture, and murder. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 17:04, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The point I was making was that the issue is of very minor consequence as compared to the larger topic. It's peripheral at best. Binksternet (talk) 17:39, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Next time try to make that point without being so offensive, it didn't add anything to your point. Also perhaps this is the last time you should use the “But I have gay friends!” defense, even when true it comes off as hollow and tone deaf. You have also yet to acknowledge that your original language was offensive which I find puzzling. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 17:57, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Stop posting here. Binksternet (talk) 18:00, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Will do, you are likewise asked not to post on my talk page. Have a wonderful Sunday. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 18:03, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#IP-hopping genre vandal on Anathema (band) and Katatonia pages, #2804

Hello, Binksternet. There is a discussion at WP:ANI regarding a persistent IP-hopping genre vandal in the 2804 range. Since you have dealt with this person/people extensively for years, any input you may have there would be appreciated. Thanks. Mungo Kitsch (talk) 07:02, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for writing it up so neatly and getting the rangeblock to happen. Binksternet (talk) 16:22, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Steve Hogarth

Please can you have a look at the edit history of this article, as a user appears to be using multiple accounts over a long period to change the date of birth year from that which is cited. Thanks. Rodericksilly (talk) 16:05, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That recent Spotify source might have a correction in it. I'll give it a listen. Binksternet (talk) 16:20, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

...And it does. Hogarth says he was 64 recently, not 61. Binksternet (talk) 16:27, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Genres for Circles

Can you add the genres for the album Circles. There has been an editor who keep adding genres in the article and I wandering what are the sources explicitly says the genre of the album. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 03:30, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Guardian says explicitly that the album is emo-rap while Pitchfork says it is not exactly hip hop, implying that it is not exactly any genre. Neither source supports this edit which incorrectly lists elements and underlying themes as the main genres. I agree with your removals. Binksternet (talk) 16:46, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So emo rap is the correct genre for the album according to The Guardian, right? TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 19:39, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, for the infobox, though the Pitchfork's ideas should be stated in prose, that the album does not easily fall into one genre. Binksternet (talk) 00:20, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I added emo rap in the infobox but I needed some help added Pitchfork's ideas in the article prose. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 03:01, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The revert.

I did not do anything on [2]. I was fixing up the category. Why was it necessary to revert? And no, I was not starting an edit war, for your information.--70.173.17.198 (talk) 21:48, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sinead

Hi Bink, I sent a reply to your e-mail on Nothing compares 2 U, hope you get it. I am not sure if this how to reply on here, the navigation and instructions on here are terrible,I rarely use wikipedia but here goes. Most of the detail in my update is verifiable on IMDBPro,I just tried to add in line citation to this effect ( hope it works) The other detail on dates, locations, creative talent and process etc. comes from me and is totally non-contentious, i.e this is my work and as producer I am recognised as author, creator of the video etc.( i.e. per the copyright designs and patents act) and the source is therefore my Creativo023 handle which I am also trying to add to the video page.I hope the detail is of interest to some of the 188 million viewers of the video to date. Hope this helps, Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Creativo023 (talk • contribs) 19:36, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has a hard policy of WP:No original research which means that you cannot publish something on Wikipedia that has not been published elsewhere before. Ideally, Wikipedia is a summary of the published literature on a topic. Binksternet (talk) 22:12, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Calm down dear.

I think you'll find I provided A SOURCE. How about not being so heavy handed and authoritarian to people trying to make good contributions to the site. I cannot stand admins like you who go around threatening everyone who aren't even vandalising the pages. I clearly did not vandalise the page in any way and my intentions in my edit were clearly good as it provides factual information. I posted facts. It's true Vinnie Vincent photoshops his KISS pictures, you would know that if you actually looked at the source which is his own official website. 94.175.64.92 (talk) 01:20, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not an admin.

I saw this edit by you and I reverted it because it was full of conjecture. You posted a Vinnie Vincent party invitation graphic image[3] and then made a bunch of statements about what Vincent does with his makeup, including your guess that he does it "presumably for copyright reasons." If this kind of weak-ass edit is something you're going to defend strongly, you're in the wrong place. Binksternet (talk) 04:25, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[4] in Ministry (band)

Was there anything disruptive in the anon's last edit so it was reverted? Gleb95 (talk) 19:01, 5 June 2020 (UTC).[reply]

The top part of the edit was what I saw and reverted. I was looking at the introduction of an internal link to "Past members" section, which is deprecated at WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE. I would not have opposed the vanyaland and Rolling Stone references had I looked down that far. Binksternet (talk) 19:12, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Truce

I'm just a teenager, a huge fan of 10cc and a dedicated fan who learns personnel information on songs, and albums. I used a reference in the personnel list of The Original Soundtrack, so I wish that this would be left the way it is from my edits. I have no idea who jackmarley is, though based on this you supposed that person is me and is dangerous on Wikipedia. I assure you, I'm completely innocent, and wish to leave on peaceful terms. I will provide resources. Also the quote feom Kevin Godley on Rubber Bullets is a real quote feoma real source, as is everything from Life Is a Minestrone. I created the inbox in that song and I wish that we would leave it mg to make it look more complete. NTS
