Disambiguation link notification for May 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Reggae genres, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Selector (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) 11:11, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Deletionist behaviour

Reverting a contribution because "not referenced" while it is? https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Rude_boy#Single_by_Desmond_Dekker If you have doubts please debate them on the Talk page of the article before obstructing the work of others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaromil (talkcontribs) 11:10, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

The sentence did not have a reference, so it can be deleted at any time, by anyone, as per Misplaced Pages policies.Spylab (talk) 13:41, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Hardcore punk

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that the longstanding content about hardcore clothing (crew cuts, sneakers, etc) has been deleted from the hardcore punk article. The same editor also deleted a section on hardcore zines(MRR, Cometbus, etc). I have raised these two issues on the talk page. Also, musical characteristics has been relocated to later in the article. Just thought I'd let you know. OnBeyondZebrax (talk) 00:09, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Dead links

Please do not remove them. Please either research them, or, if you do not have the time, flag them with {{Dead link}} and give someone else the cue to research them. Often they can be found via Archive.org. Removing them leaves no clue to their prior presence in the current version, so removing them is harmful to the project. Usually a valid link can be tracked down, but we need the cues to know that that task is required. Fiddle Faddle 08:34, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Inclusive Democracy

Please use the talk page at Inclusive Democracy before you make any sweeping edits, or alternatively do edits one at a time, so that each edit can be commented upon. What you did is not normal copy-editing, but re-writing the entire entry without providing valid reasons. User:John sargis 16:26, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

False. I copy edited the article as normal and improved the organization. I did not rewrite the article or change the substance at all.Spylab (talk) 22:54, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
Since there have been sweeping changes in Inclusive Democracy entry, you would rather explain the need for them, or do them one at a time. Even if it was a complete restructuring of the entry, the scope and extension of the edits that you did show that you may should have started a dialogue in the Talk Page of the entry at the first place, and not do it all at once sweepingly. Also please do not use the word "Vandalism" for somebody's reaction to your edits arbitratily. I would advise you to use the Editing policy and Be helpful, Explain & Major changes guideline for making big changes in an entry, even if they are for "restructuring" purposes. Thanks. 77.49.224.227 (talk) 04:23, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
I just noticed there is evidence you altered and deleted some of the sentences - this was stressed by User:John sargis in Inclusive Democracy's talk page - of the entry, so, it was not just a matter of restructuring, deletion, addition of spaces etc. as you claimed. This is another reason you should have used a step-by-step approach with comments for each one, if you really wanted to improve the entry and not distort it in effect. 77.49.224.227 (talk) 04:54, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
Reinvoked my arbitratily deleted by User:Spylab comments, for which initially I had not signed in properly with my user name earlier. Panlis (talk) 19:14, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
