One track editing

SPA much? --Pete (talk) 17:35, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

September 2017

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at The Stephanie Miller Show. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 01:29, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

• Reverting is not a way forward. You want to achieve something, do it within our guidelines, and it has to start with secondary sources. So far, as Skyring noted above, you are editing as if you're either an intern at the show or at the show's PR agency. Drmies (talk) 01:34, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

I am simply a fan of the show nothing more. I used many secondary sources in the article that were removed. Could you please explain why this article has caught your attention and your role with Wikipedia? Dpurcyhoff (talk) 01:46, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello - I'm a producer with SM Show. We'd like to know why these heavy deletions were made. The team worked hard to clean the page with edits approved by Ms. Miller. Contact me for verification. SMShowProducer is our wiki account SMShowProducer (talk) 02:55, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Not sure what SMShowProducer is all about. The producers of the SM Show have had nothing to do with the editing of the show page. I have made most of the editorial changes on the page over the past 6 months (except the massive deletions that were made today which I am not happy about). I have nothing to do with the show other than being a fan. These changes were not done by Stephanie Miller or her team and in fact it is my understanding that the individuals or entities that an article are about are not allowed to have control over the content - and I can assure you they haven't. Dpurcyhoff (talk) 03:08, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Content disputes need to be resolved in discussion. If one editor adds content to an article which is subsequently removed by another editor, the next step is to follow WP:BRD and engage in discussion on the article's talk page to see if you are able to establish a consensus to re-add the disputed content. You should focus on the content, not the other editors, and explain how its inclusion complies with relevant policies or guidelines. For example, if content is removed from an article because it could not be verified by a citation to a realiable source, then the burden is upon the person wanting to add the information to fix that problem before re-adding it. If content is removed because its not worded in a neutral manner, then the burden is upon the person wanting to include it to word things more appropriately. Edit warring will never work and may result in accounts being blocked, so unless you absolutely 100% sure that what you're reverting is vanadalism, your best way forward is to engage in discussion on the article's talk page. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:44, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
