I have personally watched the music video for Bryan Ferry's "Don't Stop the Dance" several times, and as far as I can tell, Laurence Treil is the only woman featured on there, she is only dressed and made up differently. The two editions of the video are interesting. Notice that the screen shot in the article is of the nude women on the beach. I've linked this article to the G-rated version in the "external links."

Simply just press that big Edit button next to each section, edit what you want, then click on Save, you have now officially learned how to edit.

Isn't there a rule about not attacking new editors? I see no bannable offense here Mazarin.

Hi, Joe. He's posting at my page now, so I guess he'll leave you alone. There are always a few Type A personalities in Wikipedia who show up irritable and annoy everyone. There are also trolls. Some edits have to be fought to a compromise because of differing opinions. This means it's not always an encouraging environment. I would recommend strict politeness when things start to go wrong. In other words, Don't let it bother you.

I received your invitation to help upgrade the Joe Walsh article.

I reverted your changes because none of them were at all helpful. You blew up the photo past its ideal size, you introduced an unsourced claim about Allman teaching Joe Walsh, and you introduced grammatical errors. Please be more careful with your editing, and leave edit summaries as a courtesy to other users to they can easily see what you're changing. --Spike Wilbury (talk) 14:03, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2014-06-24T14:03:00.000Z","author":"Spike Wilbury","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Spike_Wilbury-2014-06-24T14:03:00.000Z-Don_Felder","replies":["c-Spike_Wilbury-2014-06-24T14:05:00.000Z-Spike_Wilbury-2014-06-24T14:03:00.000Z"]}}-->

Sorry that you took offence to that edit summary, but I suppose I was just frustrated at having to look through dozens of edits when each only contained a small wording tweak. Personally I feel you're just as likely to end up with edit conflicts if you make a lot of little edits rather than just working through what you can do to the page in one edit, but really I think edit conflicts primarily occur on pages concerning recent topics. Still, I think it's probably just that our editing styles differ.

Hi Joe. Can I advise you that if you're going to upload new versions of pictures on Commons, you check which articles use them before doing so. For example, File:Peter Gabriel The Moonlight Knight (cropped).png is used on Genesis (band), a fairly high-traffic article, and the new version of commons makes the thumbnail image here very stretched and distorted, so I had to revert it. If you are planning to make any other changes, drop a note on any affected article's talk pages first and check there's a consensus first, otherwise readers will get a surprise.

Hello there JV, from Portugal,

a couple of lines explaining my changes in this footballer's introduction, and thus some guidelines: it's not necessary to include all the clubs he (has) represented, and certainly it is now mandatory we don't include divisions of clubs in the intro. Last but not least, no need to mention the goals he scored in X or Y season (unless it's something important, like in 2011-12 with Almería like I now point out in the current version) or that he scored on his debut, that is the "job" of the storyline proper.

If Mr. Ulloa had any form of international career, of course that would also be intro-material, but he has not. Last but not least, I am not a newbie even though I edit anon now, I used to be User:AlwaysLearning, but asked that my account be vanished after a serious run-in with a troll, had the intention of leaving forever, but seems I cannot :(

Sorry for any inconvenience, was only trying to help.

Hi, Joe. Do you have any idea where this comes from? I can't find the statement anywhere and it definitely needs a citation.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi, Joe. I'm just letting you know that I've reversed your edit.

A tag has been placed on Sheri Kershaw requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hello-

• Please make a habit of providing an edit summary when you make a change to an article. Doing so makes it easier for your colleagues here to understand the intention of your edit.
• Plus, it will be easier for you and your co-editors to collaborate on articles if, instead of making multiple consecutive edits in rapid succession on an article, you use the "Show preview" button to view your changes incrementally before finally saving the page once you're satisfied with your edits. This keeps the page history of the article less cluttered.

Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions.

Hi Mburrell, I hope that you're doing well. I noticed your edit summery of "return of information about the assault on Mia Zapata", her article claims that she was "possibly raped".

The Evil Stig page says rape. I don't visit the Mia Zapata page, so I didn't know of the different wording. But here are three news articles. (http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/news/gits-drummer-blasts-nbc-for-exploiting-mia-zapatas-death-on-tv-20140114), (http://pitchfork.com/news/34514-mia-zapatas-killer-sentenced-for-good-finally/), (http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/killer-of-seattle-singer-again-sentenced-to-36-years-in-prison/).

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section.

Hi Joe Vitale. Items tagged as non-free reduced or orphaned non-free revisions need a date stamp in order to get processed properly. The simplest way to do this is through substituting the template; i.e. use {{subst:orfurrev}}, which will automatically add the current date for you.

Hi. The article on the glamour model/porn star Cathy Barry has been put up for deletion. I've added lots of referenced info (even though, it seemed obvious to me that she was very notable beforehand) - I'd appreciate it if you could take a look at the article and vote (either way).

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.

I see you have changed some music topic genres without referencing to support the change. Please read WP:GWAR. Genres are largely subjective, and should be verifiable. Also, band genres come from sources discussing the band's musical style, and album genres come from sources discussing the album's overall style. Neither of these should be based solely on individual song genres.

Thanks for your contributions to Hungary. Unfortunately, they were rolled back because they mostly involved changes to links that are against policy recommendations. The main problem was in your attempted good faith changes to wikilinks, by subsituting in the actual article name instead of a redirect to a page. Actually, this almost always is not an improvement. One way to think about it is, if it ain't broke, WP:DONOTFIXIT. Another explanation can be seen at WP:NOPIPE concerning the use of piped links. Two or three of your changes involved adding links where there wasn't one before, and these could be reinstated if desired; I'll be happy to do it for you after the holidays upon request. A couple of the early changes involved Magyarization of names of people who went by non-ethnic Hungarian names; it's better just to use the names they preferred, or how they are most commonly known (sometimes this can be hard to determine; in that case, the name of their Wikipedia article, if they have one, is a good starting point).

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paul Westwood until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

An article you recently created, Good Together (album), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

What in the hell? It has 3 references. I don't appreciate my hard work being "drafted". I spend a lot of time on articles like these, time I will not get back.

Hi Joe. I'm not sure, as you didn't provide an explanation, why you separated the track listing of Thank You by Diana Ross into vinyl sides when the album was released in 2021. Vinyl is no longer the dominant format, as you know, and there's nothing to indicate the album was intended for the vinyl format (and it definitely was not vinyl-only). So I've reverted this change. Fair enough if this were Ross's albums from before the mid-80s, but not for an album released in 2021—if you are making these sorts of unexplained changes on other articles, like separating albums released beyond the 1980s into vinyl sides, you should have a very compelling reason to do so like those I just mentioned or not be doing so. Also, we don't need to explicitly credit the liner notes in a citation per MOS:ALBUM—it is expected this is where personnel come from. Thanks.

Hi Joe. Just jumping into my old thread here to say you don't need to capitalise the 's' in 'revxscore' in Template:Album ratings. It's been decapitalised for years now. Also, I don't know if you're still doing so, but as I've just seen your edits from earlier this month on Christine McVie (album), just a reminder to not split albums released after the vinyl era (so from the 1990s to present) into sides, unless you can demonstrably prove the album was still intended for the vinyl format. I think albums released after 1982 with CDs becoming a thing then (even if it did not become the predominant format until the late '80s) are an edge case so I don't even think say, albums released in 1984 need to be split into vinyl sides if they aren't already.

But with all due respect, weren't cassette tapes with sides one, and two the leading formats at that time?

Do you have a source for cassette sales exceeding vinyl sales in 1984? Also, again, please stop re-capitalising the 's' in "score" in Template:Album ratings.

If it improves the article than that's all that should really matter as that's all that the reader really sees anyway IMO (better than not improving the article at all I should think?). I have reading, and some spelling difficulties (I have to Google spellings often) which may seem ironic given how prolific I am here but the small edits help me to check things off whilst making sure that I make no mistakes (I still do), and I would struggle to proof read anything that I've corrected... Hence doing things in small doses making any of this possible for me. I understand your issue, and why you've raised it but it feels like an essential way of editing for me that has worked since 2014... Almost a decade ago now, I'm feeling very old.

Thanks for your edit just now on Manchester. I learned something now about the MOS and how bands name "The xxx" are described within articles. It's something I'll remember for future edits, but I do however notice that if this is a rule it's not consistently followed or enforced. A quick look-see at The Verve showed relatively poor compliance, while The The was much better but nowhere near 100%. Would it not be better to fix all music articles before reaching out elsewhere?

Hi Joe. I had reverted your Whammy! track listing edit back on April 3 because I don't see anything in WP:TRACKLISTING that suggests writing credits should be formatted with the hlist template and separated by bullets. (In fact the examples given there use plain commas as separators instead of any special mark-up.) Additionally, WP:STYLEVAR states When either of two styles are acceptable it is inappropriate for a Wikipedia editor to change from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change, and that edit-warring over style, or enforcing optional style in a bot-like fashion without prior consensus, is never acceptable.

If it's a matter of personal preference, I'd probably agree that bullets do look better, but we can't really use that as a guiding principle when editing. To my knowledge, there is nothing in the MOS here that states credits have to or should be laid out in that fashion. Hope that helps.

I usually go off if the infobox has them first, and it did, and still does... So thought that it would look more congruent with both that, and the track listing having hlists.

Hi Joe! I am new to this. And I had seen that */Annabella Lwin/* was featured on two songs 1. I kiss The Morning Sun Song and Mo Money Song; with musical artist and producer Durango Dank.

Please don't make edits where you only remove whitespace characters and capitalize the first letter of templates, like in Special:Diff/1161553863/1163358041.

Hello, Joe. I know you have been here for a while so I'll skip the convenient template. However I saw on Billy Idol that you assigned him some band in the infobox which is mentioned in the prose only once as having existed for a single set in 2018.

• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
• If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

I agree with FlightTime; please don't do that.

Hello, again, Joe. While I'm here whining, I might as well complain about something else: I see that of the 93 edits made to Alice Cooper in this calendar month alone, all but 6 were made by you. You made 61 edits in a two-and-one-half-hour period this morning, most of them of about 20 bytes or fewer (but none marked as "minor"). These all appear in my watchlist, listed separately, so it's quite overwhelming. I'd therefore like to point you to three more pages, which might help you fit in more successfully:

• Help:Show preview (mentioned to you in August 2016)
• Help:Minor edit
• Help:Edit summary (mentioned to you in July 2016)

I'm surely not the only editor who will be grateful if you would use Preview more often and combine multiple edits before publishing your changes. And when your edits are minor ones, please mark them as such. A brief explanation of what you're doing is also always welcome. Thanks, — JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 12:26, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230723122600","author":"JohnFromPinckney","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-JohnFromPinckney-20230723122600-Talk:Alice_Cooper","replies":["c-Joe_Vitale_5-20230723154100-JohnFromPinckney-20230723122600"]}}-->

You can’t mark them as minor on your phone or else I would have — a lot of these edits had to be done one by one as I was sorting out references— and I could only do that as I saw them — as I had to individually search each link manually switching between windows full screen (which took me three hours). It was just as tiresome, and as overwhelming for you as it was me, I’m sure… but I’m finished with those sort of edits to that article. Other than them being minor, I actually really cleaned that up. If my editing style that has been here since I first started editing articles is a conflict of interest then I don’t know what I can do.

So is Laura Veirs someone that you’re a fan of ? As I saw her play live last year, and met her briefly afterwards

Sort of, she was in the merch stand at the venue, and clearly only interested in signing things that people bought — but she was still magnanimous enough to sign my gig ticket for me … I can’t consider her in any way rude when the singer for Blancmange had a whole freak out over meeting people — despite telling people that he was going into the merch area to sign things for people, and he again, just freaked out, and whomever it was that was with him was bullying the people trying to meet him. A total fuck up. I understand that he was wary after having had a bad bout of Corona… but why go into a merch area where you’re going to meet people then lose your shit over it? Belied common sense, and left me both confused, and disappointed.

For Blancmange? Even without that experience, a bit shit — the singer is still in fine voice but his backing band were awful. He sounded like a Blancmange tribute act — or at worst, a karaoke singer. So put that together with the weird none-meeting wherein he stormed off after looking at me for a couple of seconds, and well, it’s bad business all round ! Haha. They say not to meet your heroes but Morrissey was nicer to me than him, and who’s supposed to be the hated one? I shook his hand, and had a very awkward conversation in which he seemed to either not respond at all or act like a diva (fake). Strange meeting, and a declined photo. “Not in Waitrose” with a covered mouth was his response to that question …

How did that meeting come about? Usually I only meet famous people if I have a backstage pass to… but Morrissey, and Alexander O'Neal were random — and Morrissey was nicer than O'Neal who seemed more interested in my black lady friend than me myself (very strange considering she wasn’t a fan so a big creep move on his part to be honest as he seemed irritated by me; yet Morrissey did not lol)

Haha nice one! With the amount of gigs that I go to you probably get performers leaving the stage/barriers only once out of every ten gigs (you can look on my user page to see a list of my gig going). I always find it quite awkward as I prefer to watch shows than to interact with or touch the performers during shows! Another interesting story from me is being crushed into Mark Burgess's armpit during a Chameleons show! Oh I have all the stories, and they’re all cringeworthy haha.

It's almost never worth it and nowadays, I am much less interesting in bothering these poor guys when they're just trying to enjoy their evenings (unless they deliberately give you the opportunity to say hi). And ultimately, all I have to say is "Wow, you do good at music", which is literally all that millions would have to say to them, so no need to bother them.

Strange that you should say that because usually I try to ask technical questions or talk to them about people that they’ve worked with. I think that making them think more about what they’ve got to say can make them either more open or closed off, dependent on who it is. Some people love the sycophancy, and others deplore it… So I suppose I’ve learned that if you’re going to try, and make an impression on a famous person. Don’t talk to them like they’re a famous person - though when I met Morrissey, I said that I loved all of his solo albums, even Kill Uncle, and that made him gasp “oh!”, as he flailed his arms over his head, and took a step back . I confuse celebrities but then again, I run the risk of coming across as a none-fan… but they probably prefer that if you actually want a conversation… but then again, a lot of the time they don’t anyway hahaha.

Hi Joe. I passed by the article for Fred Schneider and the Shake Society and noticed you changed the en dashes in the track listing to em dashes and changed the tracks to be continuously numbered. As per WP:TRACKLISTING, en dashes are correct here, and we actually had a lengthy discussion at WT:ALBUMS a while back and amended the MOS to clarify that track listings should always follow the numbering on the original format. (For LP sides, you would start at 1 for each side, except in rare special cases.) Please keep this in mind going forward.

And actually, looking at it further, you also changed "Technical" personnel to "Production and artwork" and linked common instruments, both of which go against what is stated in WP:PERSONNEL.

I don't know if having been diagnosed with autism will change your perception of my "baffling", and repetitive edits but it has certainly kept me back from wanting to acknowledge things in the past as I don't like to express this fact, Joe Vitale 5 (talk) 20:59, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240119205900","author":"Joe Vitale 5","type":"comment","level":10,"id":"c-Joe_Vitale_5-20240119205900-Koavf-20240119203800","replies":["c-Koavf-20240119214900-Joe_Vitale_5-20240119205900"]}}-->

I 100% respect your privacy and if you want to ask for your above rev to be deleted, that is legit. My goal is not to punish or be a jerk: it's to stop having these disruptive edits that make me wonder if there's something meaningfully being changed to articles and then there's not. If there needs to be some accommodation to your editing style or my method of communication or whatever, I'm open to that. This isn't a matter of a moral failing or character flaw, so I'm not trying to come at you as someone who is intentionally causing problems or who is a bad actor. I want you to be able to edit here productively. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:49, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240119214900","author":"Koavf","type":"comment","level":11,"id":"c-Koavf-20240119214900-Joe_Vitale_5-20240119205900","replies":["c-Joe_Vitale_5-20240120142200-Koavf-20240119214900"],"displayName":"Justin (koavf)"}}-->

Changing things in small edits like that is a perfectionism thing for me — not that it's appropriate for articles that I've hardly made any meaningful edits to — but I tend to come back to them eventually to do just that, and I do it subheading via subheading to tick it off so to speak — I understand, and appreciate your concerns however, and how irritating it must be, and clearly is — if I marked these edits as minor then would that stop them from coming up in your watchlist? The problem with that has been when I have been on my cellphone as you cannot mark edits as minor on it — is that what has been the problem?

And you've probably noticed that I never do big edits — that's because I end up confused, and make lots of errors which I do anyway even in small edits.

I think that using my cell more, and also editing more higher profile articles is a big part of what has lead to these ramifications,

My friend, you were asked to stop disrupting. You said in this thread that you know that you have an overwhelmingly chronic propensity for unencyclopedic, uncollegiate, and patently disruptive behavior. You cheaply blamed it on a disorder, admitted to a basic coping mechanism of denialism or avoidance, and continued doing it. That's going from bad to worse to worse. Nobody blames anybody for a disorder until you do that. The photo of the predatory cat at the top of this page is so cruelly apt, that I wonder if you get it. You said you know that editing high profile articles is a problem for you, and you dove into the single highest profile celebrity death in the world today with countless needless edits of cosmetic tweaks to wikilinks and whitespace, exactly like always. Even just the sheer number of consecutive edits is disruptive. BTW your claim that phones magically can't mark edits as 'minor' is false, but that's irrelevant. Wikipedia is WP:NOTTHERAPY. Koavf (talk · contribs) is not your therapist, and he was extremely excessively gratuitously patient and kind. This is not his opinion, and isn't about adapting to him or me at all, but is a fact. Nobody is entitled to the privilege of editing Wikipedia, and editors can be blocked for this disruptive WP:MEATBOT behavior. I advise anybody to stop editing altogether until getting control over behavior, and I want to prevent blocks. Thank you so very much and, yes, be well.

Your use of language was insulting to put it politely — and so was editing your comment to 'prove a point'. I understand your concerns, and appreciate them — albeit not in the churlish way that you presented them to me. I think that my most irritating edits to other users are when I edit on my phone — again, I have not seen an option to mark these edits as minor, unless I change it to desktop mode which is unequivocally awkward. I feel that whilst my purely cosmetic edits to articles are the most irritating, and to others pointless, when I actually fully focus on an article I do actually improve it — I did in an infinitesimal way with the article that seemed to trigger your message.

However, my editing style often sees me work through things one step at a time, and I only leave articles alone once I feel I have edited everything that could be edited in a congruent way. As whenever I have done big edits there are typos, and erroneous links added. So again, I do it step by step, in a way that is easy for me. I understand how frustrating this looks to other editors however, and I fully accept how that must make them feel.

My editing style has essentially been the same primordially so it's difficult for me to understand how to take any edification, and unfortunately in your case, character assassination. That side of things especially was not on, hence my delay in responding.

I find it very hard to believe that you think the off-topic rambling about marmite and weird asides on the admin noticeboard was not explicitly wasting others' time. You do this regularly where you just write arcane noise or try to change the topic when someone brings up an issue with your behavior.

Joe, I'm warning you that you need to stop making the following types of edits, all of which are solely cosmetic and do not affect the article as displayed to readers:

• Adding or removing whitespace or line breaks
• Changing the case of templates
• Adding DEFAULTSORT that matches the article name

There are more types of cosmetic edits out there, but I'm limiting the warning to these in particular because I want to be very clear about what needs to change. If you prolifically make some other type of cosmetic edit, and other editors confront you about it, you need to engage seriously with their concerns.

Normally, cosmetic changes are permitted as part of an edit that does make some change to the reader-facing page, but you should not make any of the changes listed above, regardless of whatever else is changed. You've previously demonstrated a failure to understand when an a cosmetic edit is appropriate, and I'm trying to draw clear lines about what is prohibited.

This warning intentionally does not directly address the concerns, which date back years, about your use of multiple small edits which might instead be bundled into less revisions. I am hopeful that ensuring that each individual is meaningful will lessen the impact of your editing style. Another admin might feel differently about the need for you to change your style, so I encourage you to use the strategies mentioned above (use of a sandbox, use of the preview function) as much as possible.

Please speak up if you have questions about any of this. I think most editors, including those who have criticized your editing, are eager to see change and unexcited about a potential block.

I understand, and apologise for all of this. I suppose that the problem with autistic people is that once they get a certain pattern or way of doing things set inside of their heads, it’s very hard for them to change this.

Hi Joe, I'm Chelsea. As someone who has been reading alllll the WP docs and various noticeboards to get acquainted with en.wiki, I stumbled across the recent troubles you've been having. I'm sorry- it can't feel good, and making mistakes that upset others is a *big* fear for me so I can only imagine how stressed you must have been.

I live with OCD that only got diagnosed last year, once it had gotten really debilitating in my 30s. I have a lot of struggles around desiring "completeness," "perfection" etc so what you've described about what's driven your behavior is very relatable to me.

You've gotten some awesome offers of support from people who know a lot more than me, but I thought you might just want a Wiki-friend aside from all that, once you're settled back in and reframing how you participate here. You clearly know a LOT more about most actual aspects of contributing to the site than me, so I would be grateful for a pal I could casually chat with as I get used to the site's tooling and set up my contributing environment. (My OCD has made computers very hard for me psychologically, but I know that more complex and useful contributions require me to get off the darn mobile app.)

In return, if you want to run ideas by me, or even just vent sometimes, I'd be honored to be your buddy and my talk page would be open any time! I am so impressed by the number of live concerts you attend, I have not attended shows in a longgg time (except a band called Ween last year that I've loved since the 90s, not sure if you've ever heard of them!) but you inspire me to remember how cool live music can be.

I have a lot of friends on the autism spectrum- one of my best friends actually founded the comedy troupe Asperger's Are Us, which had a really great miniseries (I think on Netflix). I know it can be confusing and frustrating being neurodiverse in a world made mostly for and by neurotypicals, but diversity is awesome and we can be proud of it and find how we best fit.

From what I can see, even though administrators were frustrated with your behavior, nobody questions that you are here for the right reasons: to build and improve this amazing encyclopedia. I'm sending you best wishes, and hope you do well at bouncing back from this stressful experience and finding new ways to participate, whether you want to become buddies or not!

I have missed out on quite a few concerts these past three months. Was assaulted at the Mission gig in October, and that triggered me to start drinking again, and much heavier than normal which has caused me health issues that have meant I’ve had to back out of quite a few (just not physically possible to even leave my bed) … but to be honest, I think that my love for them has almost completely died anyway. It’s a lot of stress for very little reward. Despite my heavy drinking I loathe drunk people at concerts. Incidentally, I missed out on seeing Slowdive again on Tuesday (due to just being too drunk), and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark on Friday, just due to my body giving up on me, and telling me that I had more than overdid it. These sort of regrets are doing me in, but I’ve kind of just totally lost the drive for them anyway. Leave over an hour before the show, wait an hour outside of it, wait an hour inside of it. Opening act! Yawn… main act, yess! But then that’s when people can play up the most or there are random mosh pits (even outside of them), and you just lose all of your motivation for them. Not forgetting, did I leave my door locked? Is my home going to flood? Is it going to set on fire? Did I leave my fridge door open? Is my food shopping even in my fridge? You get it…

So yes, the concerts on paper may look impressive to other people but they were mostly hell to me. The Fizz concert on Sunday however was wholesome, and I think that they’re one of the greatest bands in modern history.

However, my editing style is just that, and I don’t ever see it changing much so I’m kind of just done with this, I think. No point me in trying to help you when it’s clear to others that I can’t help myself.

Thank you for your honesty, I have the same drinking problem.

As others may have noticed, I was mainly doing the most for articles of artists that I was going to see — which would turn out greatly embarrassing when I had to miss out on them. I do think that I did help with these, and added a lot of first time photos — not expecting thanks for this as this is a thankless thing that’s to be expected. The drinking has cut down since yesterday, and intends to be cut down even more. Shame when it’s on every corner, and when you’re drunk you can just go get more in less than 10 minutes. Wreak havoc on your body, and soul then keep drinking to stop yourself from thinking about all of the things that you’ve said, done or missed out on, and then of course perpetuate that cycle, and do even more damage. I think that lockdown for me personally is what made this the worst as anyone who has drank too much for months at a time will know that it makes you think solely about all of the awful things that you’ve done in your life, all the pain, and the shame that people have brought to you, and all of the pain, and the shame that you have brought to them. Which obviously means that you live in an extremely distorted reality that’s hard to break even when sober. The concerts helped for a bit but only a bit as etiquette is out of the window these days, and you encounter a lot of strange people who either make you uncomfortable or actually abuse you, see above. Makes the world feel that extra bit even more lugubrious. Strangely, I’ve been treated worse at concerts than I ever have been in pubs (save for a couple). Now, given that pubs are generally toxic environments it says enough, and it’s really weird as I wouldn’t have otherwise expected this at concerts.

Incidentally, Imodium has helped me out with the issues that have plagued me since Thursday albeit I’m finally much better today. Just shit (funny) that I missed out on OMD. But I’m going to miss out on a hell of a lot more if I keep this up.

I may get back into editing again but I’m very worried that I’ll just upset people again. As I’ll keep repeating, my editing style has almost been the same since I first started editing. I think that doing all of those concerts made me way more prominent on here, and with way more articles. Before this, I was only ever editing things that no one cared about — which is probably why no one was fussed about me. Obviously that changed, and so did the situation.

Probably just as well, since you sound kinda depressed, frankly, and alcohol is a depressant. I think what you need is a change of wiki venue. Maybe some Zoloft. I've got had people complain when I change reference formats so I see both sides between you and Justin. What I keep trying to say to you is that if you just go fix some other problem somewhere else 90% of the strife on Wikipedia can be avoided and annoying Justin is not the sole measure of your value as an editor, ok?

Hi Joe Vitale 5, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! – Joe (talk) 11:21, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240401112100","author":"Joe Roe","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Joe_Roe-20240401112100-Autopatrolled_granted","replies":[],"displayName":"Joe"}}-->

Thanks for uploading File:Boz-scaggs-lowdown-cbs-2.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy.

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks!

That's great. The issue is not whether your edits are undone or are controversial; using edit summaries is a courtesy to other editors, so we can quickly see the intention of your edits. Summaries can be things like: "added wikilink", "corrected spelling", "added See Also link", "reworded for clarity", "fixed typo", etc. They are a huge help. Cheers!

I’ve since found the comment, and think that you were backing me up? I’m not sure because I’m too drunk, but like I don’t like Justin at all. He’s an awful bully, and extremely arrogant. He was the only person who couldn’t handle me when he tried to ban me. He’s a bit of a supercilious fellow. I would’ve swore but it’s not the place for that, and I too support a ban as he’s actually harmful to our community — something that should be inclusive for what are basically volunteers, me, and you both. I’ll repeat that I’m very grateful for those who came out in support of me as it was a very difficult time. I’ve tried to improve my editing style here since despite the ill feelings I was getting.

Were you saying that you wished to ban me from music-related articles? Sorry if I misunderstood that. I’ve since been auto-patrolled for creating articles as I created a few useful ones recently enough. Again, forgive me if I’m getting this wrong.

No I was suggesting that for Justin. Apparently people feel he has had enough chances though. I brought you up as an example of the problems he causes. Ignore what Joe said; Justin was well-liked nonetheless, but I don't think you can be blamed for being a bit bitter that one of the last things he got away with was getting you sanctioned.

I will however repeat my caution that editing while drunk seems guaranteed to get you into trouble at some point.

I don’t usually edit drunk, as it doesn’t lead to anything productive. I am relatively sober right now as I only had some Pimm's which is not something that gets me drunk.

I felt that Justin brought me a lot of unnecessary drama, and was quite horrible when no one else was being or seemingly even as concerned as he was… but I fully accept that how I responded at the time probably wasn’t the best though.

I was trying to send him up, which worked to an extent as he didn’t understand me, and that was very much intentional.

Whatever the case — this will probably be for the best as I doubt anyone else would even attempt to come after me like he did — it was an awful display of behaviour, and made me paranoid.

But nonetheless, you’re probably right about not editing drunk but I felt there was a certain amount of urgency to responding. Much like I did at the time in regards to his mostly one-sided, and failed attempt at a manhunt… which again, just wasn’t necessary.

Hopefully the community is indeed better without him, and with some form of magnanimity, I hope that he can come back, with a healthier mindset, and approach to people. But for now, I’m just happy that he won’t be creating any more conflict. He was a nuisance calling other people nuisances. A very strange ego but it’s done now, isn’t it?

Last I looked, it looked like he was getting a timeout, yes Elinruby (talk) 13:53, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240724135300","author":"Elinruby","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Elinruby-20240724135300-Joe_Vitale_5-20240724081300","replies":["c-Joe_Vitale_5-20240725060700-Elinruby-20240724135300"]}}-->

Well, I’m more than happy to draw a line under this seems as it has been resolved by him creating unnecessary issues with other people that have been spoken out about which is more than enough vindication for me. I have other things that I’m way more rancour about in my personal life anyway. Comes with age 😂
