Black v. African-American

I've seen no source saying the hecklers were from Africa. Black people is a more appropriate link. BabuBhatt 22:55, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

An African-American doesn't have to be from Africa to be that. They have to have African roots and be American. Black implies African roots as well. Black would only be approporate since we don't know if they are from America. Mick65 01:22, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Edit Summaries

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Misplaced Pages account, you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Wikipediarules2221 02:33, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Plenty of published sources, including the original on TMZ, do not censor the content. We're not quoting Washington Post, we're quoting the original source material. Jokestress 22:21, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

WP:XXXXXXX

Not quite certain what you were quoting here, care to clarify? *Spark* 19:14, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, read it again, if a free image can replace a copyrighted one, it goes. Find a pic of the band. *Spark* 19:27, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Read the image guidelines. They've gotten more strict. If you can find policy supporting your use of the image there, do so. Otherwise a free image or publicity photo should be easy enough to find. You've made 3 reverts. See WP:3RR. *Spark* 19:32, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

You should learn to check user logs. My first edit was just that, an edit. Since I've given you notice of 3RR, and you know enough about it to claim I've 3RR'ed (even though I haven't) I'm asking you to self revert your last change or I will submit a vandalism report. Thanks. *Spark* 19:41, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Request reason:

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I feel that the user who requested me to be blocked also violated the 3RR rule. I have no interest in pursuing any revert war on the page ] and have made only positive contributions to Misplaced Pages for a year and a half. I have read the discussion at the block page and it seems the whole fair use matter of this particular use of an album cover is still under discussion. |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=I feel that the user who requested me to be blocked also violated the 3RR rule. I have no interest in pursuing any revert war on the page ] and have made only positive contributions to Misplaced Pages for a year and a half. I have read the discussion at the block page and it seems the whole fair use matter of this particular use of an album cover is still under discussion. |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=I feel that the user who requested me to be blocked also violated the 3RR rule. I have no interest in pursuing any revert war on the page ] and have made only positive contributions to Misplaced Pages for a year and a half.

Your account or IP address has been blocked from editing. You were blocked by Musical Linguist for the following reason (see our blocking policy): 3RR violation at Tesla (band)

Your IP address is 209.213.218.7.

Comment: As I stated above, I didn't violate 3RR. Note I gave you a link to Template:Albumcover, and if you reviewed it and Template_talk:Albumcover#Fair_use_rationale_needs_changing, it clearly states there is no consensus for using an album cover for anything other than illustrating the album. In other words, it's ok to use it in the album article or another article mentioning the album directly, but in a musical artist template it isn't appropriate. "Five Man Acoustical Jam" isn't even discussed in the article, only linked at the bottom. *Spark* 21:04, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

3RR block

You have been blocked for 24 hours for your violation of the three-revert rule at Tesla (band). When you come back, please use the talk page if you disagree with another user's edits. Also, please use edit summaries. Thanks. AnnH ♫ 21:05, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

I've removed four unblock templates from your page. One is quite enough. As you can see, if you look at the bottom of your page, it adds your page to the category Requests for unblock. Som administrators look at that category pretty regularly, so I'm sure someone will look at it before the 24 hours are up. Having more unblock templates on your page does not increase the likelihood of someone checking the unblock page, and may indeed just cause irritation. I haven't checked WP:AIV today. Sometimes I check it several times an hour; sometimtes I don't check it at all. Anyway, admins rarely unblock 3RR cases, so they're more likely to tell you just to stick it out. Your page is still in the requests for unblock category, so please don't keep adding more templates. It won't do anything to help your cause. AnnH ♫ 21:25, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

The reason I blocked you is that you made a fourth revert after being warned that you had made three, and you rejected the chance to self-revert which was offered to you. The issue of possible misuse of fair use policy is so serious that if a user feels the policy is being incorrectly applied, he must at least discuss it. Yet you continued to reinsert the image without discussion on the talk page, and without even using edit summaries. I have received your e-mail, and might consider shortening your block, as a gesture of good will, if I'm satisfied that you'll stop reinserting fair use images without discussion. Even with discussion, you're on very shaky grounds, as Jimbo wants the Fair Use policy to be very strictly enforced. AnnH ♫ 21:29, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

I have no interest in a revert war at Tesla (band) and in addition, I do not wish to insert images anywhere, fair use or otherwise. What will it take to satisfy you of this so that you may remove this block? BabuBhatt 21:42, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
