Edit count and AWB

Hi Robcamstone,

Your editing looks good and constructive (not just reverting others work). But for AWB I would like to hear what you would like to do. It sounds as if you have a plan, but I don't know what it is. If you have a use for AWB I will enable it for you. Sorry I may have sounded a bit bureaucratic, I admit I was disappointed by some of the AWB applications too!

I have added you to the list, now that you have given me a reason to use AWB. I encourage you to be flexible enough to cope with policies that you don't agree with, or editors that make your life difficult, so don't give up and keep up the good work! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:38, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Metal Hammer magazine interview

Hi Rob,

I just commented on the Harp Twins' talk page regarding the concern you have. Please visit that page. Thanks, and bye for now. Dontreader (talk) 17:50, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

A user tried to impose a new format for the Harp Twins page

Hi Rob,

A user tried to entirely change the formatting style of the references section of the Camille and Kennerly Kitt page. I reverted that edit and left an explanation on the talk page of the article. Please support me if he or she tries to change it back again. I am one of the main contributors to that article, and I should have been consulted. The format that was adopted was unpleasant, in my opinion, and I'm certainly not accustomed to it, so it would be very difficult for me to use that style for future edits. I don't want an edit war to occur. Therefore, please write something on that talk page supporting my position, since you are another main contributor, and we have adopted a certain style for the references section since a very long time ago. Many thanks. Dontreader (talk) 09:02, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Many thanks, Rob, for your generous help. I very much appreciate your recent contribution to the talk page of Camille and Kennerly Kitt, and for constantly updating their page. Have a great day! Dontreader (talk) 10:47, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Potential edit war on Harp Twins page

Hi Rob,

I did not start any trouble on Camille and Kennerly's page. I don't see why we have to comply with the arbitrary demands of others who do not contribute to the page. Besides, did you not recognize that this latest editor who went back to the unpleasant references format is the same person who insistently tried to get the page deleted? I think this case should be taken to an administrator. Please let me know your opinion. I certainly will not comply with that format, so I guess you will have to fix my references in the future if you let this guy have his way, but I would rather have an administrator let us continue with the style we had before. Thanks in advance. Dontreader (talk) 12:15, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Rob for your support. I did read your excellent message on the talk page of the article. I have reverted two edits over a span of over a week, so I think I'm still okay. I hope others will help resolve the issue. I contacted an administrator already. I am almost sure that the two users that have changed the references section are the same person. Duffbeerforme spent so much time and effort trying to destroy that page, and he ignored our request to discuss matters on the talk page, so I don't assume good faith in him at all. This is very frustrating because I've been awake all night long putting together information to enhance the notability of the page, which should be finished in maybe three hours, because I think Duffbeerforme is going to try to propose it again for deletion. My day has been ruined already, but I'll try to have the page strengthened in a few hours, as I said. I have excellent links. Thanks again. P.S. I wasn't trying to sound rude. The reality is that I don't know how to edit using that format, and I have no time to learn to do so. Dontreader (talk) 13:13, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Rob for your advice regarding sandboxes. I will take the measures you suggested in that sense. I think I'll go ahead and get the page updated as soon as possible because my links will make it impossible for even the most wretched people to question the notability of the Twins. Besides, my day has been ruined anyway, so I might as well get it done. My project is long overdue, besides. Thanks again! Dontreader (talk) 13:53, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much, Rob, for the PDF. I will examine it as soon as I can. I spent the entire night dealing with this situation and adding a paragraph that should help the article, but I'll polish it later on. Right now I seriously need some rest. Thanks again and have a great day! Dontreader (talk) 19:42, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Harp Twins Discography section

Hi Rob. Please tell me what you think about this situation with the references for the discography section being deleted. I think it's serious. Now that section has no sources and could be deleted. Do you know any administrators? Please contact one or two, if possible. I knew that guy was up to nothing good. Dontreader (talk) 10:23, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Rob, thanks for your thoughts. I certainly won't consider making a new wiki because I have invested over a thousand hours on this one, easily. My latest idea was to simply state at the top of the discography section that "Camille and Kennerly have released several of their harp duet arrangements on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, CD Baby and SoundCloud." without the links to the sites where you can directly buy their music. Just like it was before, but without those links. That way any Wikipedian could look up those sites and confirm that the tracks exist as stated, but without making it seem like we are trying to help the Twins sell music on their Wiki page. Please let me know what you think about that. Also, I still have not had a chance to learn about the new format for references. My edit from yesterday has the old style still in the references section. Thanks again, Rob! Dontreader (talk) 11:33, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
