If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Cheryl Cole. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. No such article: Melancholic pop.

Genre Articles

Please discuss your changes to genre articles BEFORE you make them in an article. The purpose of these articles is not to list every possible band that is considered part of the genre. Also please use edit summaries so that other editors can see what your intentions is without having to examine difs. Thank you. Ridernyc (talk) 14:03, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

I asked nicely for you to get consensus for your changes. If you keep editing without discussion I will consider taking you to the edit war notice board. Ridernyc (talk) 15:08, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Before you leave a long tirade on my talk page I'm informing that I have performed this edit.[1] For reasons of readability and undue weight I have removed the section. There is no reason to list 4 dozen separate genres. if you feel the need argue over this please state your case on the articles talk page.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I have noticed that some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Yeasayer, have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you to seek consensus for certain edits. Thank you. Tired of warning you. Ridernyc (talk) 18:18, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Neologism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Indie (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Cwm

Hi, I reverted your edits to Cwm Rhondda and to Western Cwm, concerning the meaning of 'cwm'. I am not a Welsh speaker, although I am Welsh and I have some familiarity with the language. I think that wikt:cwm is correct, and that 'cwm' in Welsh simply means valley, dale or glen. The meaning in English is different and indicates the head of a glacial valley. Also, your use of 'doublet meaning' appears to conflict with the description in Doublet (linguistics). Verbcatcher (talk) 19:36, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
