Wild Side

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Kanyfug (talk) 13:07, 26 August 2021 (UTC) I have notified the administrators about our disagreement.

September 2021

You wrote Minaj was revealed to appear which is almost gibberish and then quoted Minaj as calling her unreleased album a game changer. That is garbage editing and overt POV pushing. Are you trying to get blocked from editing Nicki Minaj, because you are very, very close to that outcome? Cullen Let's discuss it 05:44, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

@Cullen328: ? How is "Minaj was revealed to appear" gibberish when that's literally what the Billboard article said? The Lockdown Sessions will also feature 10 brand new songs, featuring stars such as Lil Nas X, Nicki Minaj, Charlie Puth, Stevie Nicks, Stevie Wonder and many more. I wrote that she is going to appear on the album, that is simply it. Also, Minaj didn't say her unreleased album was a game changer, the edit says that she (which is to say, HER words and not an objective view of everyone) said that her lead single (NOT album) from the upcoming album is going to be a "game changer" (in quotation marks because that's what SHE said.) I included it because it's almost the only details we have of the upcoming album so far (besides that sentence, NO mention of her upcoming confirmed fifth studio album appears on the article, which I find problematic, since it's definitely releasing either this year or the next year if news sources are to be believed.

According to WP:POVPUSH, it says that it's an aggressive presentation of a particular point of view from the article. If I had wrote The Queen of Rap Nicki Minaj described her lead single from her probably already critically acclaimed fifth studio album, the most albums for a female rapper from Trinidad a game changer which is completely true and none of the other rappers can compare!! then I'd understand it as aggresive and intense POV pushing.

But all I actually wrote was When asked about the lead single from her upcoming fifth studio album, Minaj called it a "game changer." which is just re-telling what HER words are about it. It does not suggest that everyone will think the song will be a game changer or that it will be critically acclaimed. I put it in because in the article does not have any sentence at all about her upcoming fifth studio album or any details despite multiple news sources saying she's been teasing the album since 2019. Revolt Uproxx Rap-Up I don't see how what I wrote either assumes that everyone will like the album or that it will be acclaimed or it will be called the best. shanghai. 08:41, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Also @Cullen328: English isn't even my first language (I grew up speaking it and consider myself to be native, however I am still learning it in school) so please be more understanding of my grammar issues. I changed "revealed to appear" as "revealed as a feature" which makes more sense. But do be more understanding. shanghai. 08:47, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

A neutral encyclopedia should not parrot a performer's prediction that their unreleased work will be a "game changer". That violates the WP:NPOV. This is an encyclopedia, not a fan site. Cullen Let's discuss it 14:39, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

A cookie for you!

This project is full of its ups and downs - taking a moment to look at the bigger picture, even if that means stepping away, is always worth it. Your contributions are appreciated and valued ~TNT (she/they • talk) 12:51, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

@TheresNoTime: Hey, I really appreciate your kind act and thank you very much; lately I've been having a lot of stressful wikidrama and disagreements with editors; so I'm really happy that you've extended me this act of kindness in a pretty distressing time for me. Thank you sm again <3 🥺💕 shanghai. 15:05, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Discretionary sanction alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in COVID-19, broadly construed. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Your behaviour at Minaj

You have more than one editor opposing your edits, so you need to stop making them. I am about to revert your edit again, and basic Misplaced Pages rules suggest you will need consensus to re-insert it. I "haven't engaged on the talk page" because I think my edit summary was pretty obvious (also, a couple of hours is by no means long enough) and even if I do it will still be on the basis that you need to have a very good reason to remove large amounts of sourced material and then blindly revert when someone disagrees, and I don't see one yet. Black Kite (talk) 14:35, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @Black Kite: I've spoken to RogueShanghai about these edits, and the whole thing at the article - they are trying really hard to work with editors to improve the article, and instead getting stonewalled continuously. I don't see an issue with the edits, but frankly that doesn't even come into it at this point. The behaviour I've seen from established editors who should know better puts me in the position of dragging this to ANI and sorting out topic bans. I'm sick of it ~TheresNoTime 14:40, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi Rogue long time no speak. Hope you are doing well I notice you have been going through a lot lately. Stay strong. Remember: Still I rise, still I fight, still I might crack a smile. Keep your eyes on the prize, see my haters, tell 'em hi. One day you'll remember this, one day when we reminisce. Maxwell King 04:43, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
