| : In April 2015, the band announced they would be releasing ''Mercury'' on double vinyl through ] to mark the 20th anniversary of the album. Funding for the album was achieved within three hours of the announcement. It is due to be released in July 2015. | |||
| Why is the date of the announcement important? The reference will state when the announcement was made. Is it important to state that it's a double-vinyl disc? The fact that it done on Kickstarter will be supported in the reference, and they're not actually releasing it ''through'' Kickstarter since it's not a label, they're using it to fund the work. I suspect that the album will also be available through direct sales. How quickly the project achieved funding isn't supported at the Kickstarter site/reference and the release date is an estimate so shouldn't be stated. | |||

Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 23:55, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Using IMDB as a source
IMDB is not considered a WP:RS reliable source since - like Misplaced Pages - much of the content can be edited by users. Sometimes IMDB is adequate as a weak source, since some of the information does come from official press releases but better sources are preferred. -- Horkana (talk) 01:08, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
Welcome to Misplaced Pages, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Misplaced Pages is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Pizza appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe this important core policy. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie 22:44, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Nomination of Santo, Sam and Ed's Cup Fever! for deletion

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Santo, Sam and Ed's Cup Fever! until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Disambiguation link notification for March 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Departure Songs, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page French (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.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:10, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
Walter's ramblings
You wrote that a vandal removed content: https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=The_Loudest_Sound_Ever_Heard&diff=797784819&oldid=794456956 I am not a vandal. I removed it, with an explanation every time. How is that vandalism? Are you familiar with WP:RS, and WP:PRIMARY? Perhaps you should acquaint yourself with them. Also, WP:AGF. There are others. If you want to discuss how to make constructive contributions, feel free to ask. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:32, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
Walter, your reverts are based on nothing but your personal opinion, not constructive reasoning or adding relevant information to articles. I see you have been banned quite a number of times for edit-warring and sock-puppeting. Continue to edit-war and I'll push for you to be banned again, including your IP address. I will not be bullied. So play nice. Religious Burp (talk) 05:56, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- I'm sorry you don't get it. You're not being bullied. You're being asked to explain the WP:PRIMARY sources you're adding. Feel free to push back. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:14, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- You have no grounds for claiming I'm antagonistic when you made clear WP:BATTLEGROUND statements above. All I did was make policy- and guideline-based reverts and I'm asking for policy or guideline reasons for including WP:PRIMARY content and you offer opinion, name calling and request topic bans.

The Prayer Chain
After you mentioned the band article I put it on my list to check. You made the edit while I was away on vacation, otherwise I would have reviewed them sooner. You removed multiple {{citation needed}} templates and did not provide references. You unnecessarily created short sections with incorrect capitalization (See MOS:HEADING). You essentially took the article back to your earlier state and added some more content. That's a huge problem. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:16, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
August 2017
Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:The Loudest Sound Ever Heard. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. You have made another over-generalization of my behaviour. I pointed you to WP:NPA here and stated that if you commented on the contributor rather than the content I would start a warning process. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:53, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
- Your comment that you have not made personal attack is not correct. As I pointed to above, WP:NPA is clear on what constitutes a personal attack, and you have made several, both here and on Talk:The Loudest Sound Ever Heard. Even claiming that I am "removing content about a band because he doesn't like the band itself" is patently false.

Misuse of Edit Warring Noticeboard
Hi there. Not sure if you missed my note to you or something, but as I already explained, the edit warring noticeboard is about edit-warring. It's not the place for people to air out every single grievance you have about another editor. I'm not saying you're right or wrong about your complaints, I'm just saying you're wasting your time writing it there. You're doing the equivalent of going down to the post office to complain about a local politician or something - you're complaining at the wrong venue. Sergecross73 msg me 13:31, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
