== Re: (Questions about) Disruptive editing ==

Hi Quibus. I'm not sure I can efficiently answer your specific questions, as they are much the same as unanswered questions I've had in the past myself. The general rule with user-warnings (see [[WP:USETEMP]]), is that you start by issuing a level-1 template for the first instance of disruption, level-2 for the second, and so on, until you've reached the last level-number of that particular template series. If the disruptive user continues to disrupt after a final warning has been issued, the next step is to report them to [[WP:AIV]], where an administrator will review the activity and take further action (such as a block) if necessary. [[WP:AIV]] however, requires your report to be made while the disruptive edits are still fresh, and preferably while the disruptive user is still logged into that particular editing session. This means that you've missed your opportunity to report by eight days. The only thing I can recommend in this case, is leaving a personally written message on the offending IP's talk-page... that will be seen by a patrolling admin and taken into account if that IP continues to edit disruptively in future sessions. Hope this helps address some of the concerns and questions you've asked. :) &nbsp;-- [[Special:Contributions/WikHead|WikHead]] ([[User talk:WikHead|talk]]) 21:24, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
:Excellent! I'm glad I was of some help to you. I guess part of the confusion I'm often faced with, is knowing how to properly deal with disruptive editors who continue their activities after returning from a block (or multiple blocks). It just seems strange to me, to simply rehash the same generic templates from level-1 all over again. It makes me scratch my head and wonder how many times the user needs a "final warning", or how many times we need to generically say "welcome to Wikipedia, blah blah blah..." The time restrictions with [[WP:AIV]] can be a bit frustrating as well, as I often find articles abused by a user who has been given a final warning, but several days too late to report. It seems there's no specific template to address this. Bottom line however, I think it's most important that the articles get reverted and restored to clean versions as quickly as possible. Quality is number one! Compulsive disruptive users always seem to get caught red-handed in the end... it just takes a little patience sometime. ;) &nbsp;-- [[Special:Contributions/WikHead|WikHead]] ([[User talk:WikHead|talk]]) 16:16, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

'''Please do not revert that last change on Opeth's wiki change. Seriously i am getting tired of edits that i do getting reverted because YOU disagree with it.

== Slayer ==

The IP had repaired vandalism, which you then restored. The "singing telegram" addition was a bogus edit that was added in October by {{user|Longissueee}} and went undetected until the IP noticed it and corrected it. You should probably remove the warning you gave them. --[[User:Bongwarrior|Bongwarrior]] ([[User talk:Bongwarrior|talk]]) 18:37, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

:My bad, I thought I dug deep enough in the article history. It looked like the telegram was the actual fact, not the pizza - although it was hard picturing Lombardo as singing telegram ;). I removed the warning from the IPs talk page and noticed you already reverted the Slayer article. Thank you for warning me.

In a template ([[Template:Bon Iver]] in this case) links will appear in [[blue]]. When you click them, the article will appear in bold letters ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Sandbox&oldid=475009325 for example] [[Wikipedia talk:Sandbox]] is now bolded as it the article the reader is at the moment. But if you add a redirect ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Sandbox&direction=next&oldid=475009325] [[WT:SB]] in this case, the article will appear in blue, even if it the currect article. This create a circular and unnecessary link that cas be avoided as I did. The correct way is that [[WP:RM]], but consider that this has been discussed before.

When logging into Wikipedia through unified login, I'm logged into every project except Wiktionary (and of course the three projects pending SUL-request). At first this was solved by not using the secure server (<nowiki>https://</nowiki>), but now it refuses regardless of settings. When logging into Wiktionary directly there is no problem, but then I won't be logged into any of the other projects. In both cases the icons shown suggest I should be logged into all projects. To make it even more interesting: when logging into Wiktionary (manually) after logging into Wikipedia, then logging out on Wiktionary, all of a sudden I am logged out on Wikipedia too, so for logging out it does seem to work... I haven't been able to find anything in the help sections, can someone help me out? Thank you, [[User:Quibus| — Quibus]] ([[User talk:Quibus#top|talk]]) 10:14, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

==RE: WP:MOS==
There are at least two places where this is discussed: [[MOS:BIO]] and [[WP:LEAD]], as well as the policy [[WP:NPOV]]. I'm going to explain you why the "X is an Award-winning/nominated" phrases are wrong.
*MOS:BIO - Although many people argue that bands/groups are not biographies, bands and groups include important aspects of their members, meaning that they are biographies. For example, [[Destiny's Child]] is part of the biography of [[Beyoncé Knowles]], [[Kelly Rowland]] and [[Michelle Williams (singer)|Michelle Williams]]; [[Slipknot]] is part of the biography of [[Corey Taylor]], ''et al.''; [[OneRepublic]] is part of the biography of [[Ryan Tedder]] and the other members, and many other examples. MOSBIO says: "The opening paragraph should open with: Name(s) and title(s), dates of birth and death, (in this case date of formation and splits), context, the notable actions or roles the [band] played, and why the [band] is significant."
*NPOV - The problem with say that "The Artist™" is an award-winning person is that we immediately are saying the reader that we focus more in The Artist™'s achievements rather than other important aspects of his life. Why we choose the Academy Award or the Grammy Award than other awards? "Because the Oscar/Grammy is the most important award in the cinema/music category." That's the meaning of choosing awards as the opening sentence. Also they mean this: "Sandra Bullock (born July 26, 1964) is an Academy-Award winning actress" -> "The Academy Award for Best Actress-winner Sandra Bullock is..." the same intention with a different order.
*MOS:LEAD - In its lead it has two important notes: 1) The lead serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important aspects. (The news-journalism jargon term lede is sometimes used, but can be misleading, because Wikipedia leads are not written in news style, and journalistic ledes serve different purposes from encyclopedic leads "Paulina Rubio is a gay icon and..."[http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1613712/paulina-rubio-inspired-by-miami-new-album-video.jhtml] or "Marie Skłodowska-Curie is a two-times Nobel prize winner...". Winning an award, being an icon, or other irrelevant journalism jargon is not for Wikipedia, if those aspects are important, add them later with a neutral language. 2) It should define the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is interesting or notable, and summarize the most important points. Which lead sounds better?
{{quote|Bon Iver ( /boʊn iːˈvɛər/ bone ee-VARE) is an American folk band founded in 2007 by indie folk singer-songwriter Justin Vernon. Band members include Michael Noyce, Sean Carey, and Matthew McCaughan, among others. Its name is derived from the French phrase ''bon hiver'' (French pronunciation: [bɔn‿ivɛːʁ]), meaning "good winter" or "have a good winter".

Vernon released Bon Iver's debut album, ''For Emma, Forever Ago'' independently in July 2007. The album was well-received by music critics, and received moderate success in the charts. In 2009, Bon Iver released the EP ''Bood Bank'' which [did something important to their career]. In 2012, the band received national and international recognition after Bon Iver won two Grammy Awards, for Best New Artist and for Best Alternative Music Album for their self-titled album, also was nominated for two Brit Awards.}}

Many newbies add them because "it is correct", "it is an important award", "it is part of their career" or "it is in article X, should be here too". That's are the three main reasons why those sentences should be avoided and hidden notes like "Awards don't belong here" should be written.

== Quiet Riot template ==

Just regarding [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Quiet_Riot&diff=next&oldid=482761378 this edit], [[Rudy Sarzo]] was also a member of Ozzy's band not just Rhoads, the fact that there was 2 Quiet Riot members, I thought it warranted inclusion. Saying that, it isn't that important to include but just thought I would let you know my reason. Happy editing! [[User:HrZ|HrZ]] ([[User talk:HrZ|talk]]) 17:10, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

== Quiet Riot (Overlinking) ==

Noticed the reverts. Thought I would mention that lists (or tables) such as band members and discographys listed at the end of an article are generally linked. As far as I am aware, it is instruments that shouldn't be linked (but don't quote me on that). Also, per [[WP:OVERLINKING]]: {{xt2|Generally, a link should appear only '''once''' in an article,  but if helpful for readers, links may be repeated in [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Infoboxes|infoboxes]], [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Tables|tables]], [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Captions|image captions]], [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Footnotes|footnotes]], and at the first occurrence after the lead.}}
