Liam Neeson

Sorry but why are my edits on Neeson viewed as a "disruption"? By just reading your talk page I learn a lot...

WhatsUpWorld, and I don't care what you "learn". Discuss at the article's talk page (though you'll get the same result) rather than simply re-adding the same things that are going to be reverted over and over again – and not just by me (if you look at the page history). 4TheWynne 00:42, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

WhatsUpWorld, I will also add – seeing as you've completely misinterpreted my actions – that my removal of last year's messages was just me archiving, which I do at the start of every year, so that I only have this year's messages on my talk page. I'm not trying to cover up anything, which you seem to believe; yes, people disagree with me, but that happens all over Misplaced Pages – discussions are had, decisions are made and things get done. 4TheWynne 07:34, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Your signature

Please be aware that your signature uses deprecated <font> tags, which are causing Obsolete HTML tags lint errors. Your signature is also causing Tidy bug affecting font tags wrapping links.

You are encouraged to change

'''<font face="Arial">]<sup>]]</sup></font>''' : 4TheWynne

to

<b style="font-family: Arial;">]<sup>]]</sup></b> : 4TheWynne

Anomalocaris, thanks for letting me know. The updated version you provided me was a few characters too long, so I shortened it slightly without affecting the end result:

<b style="font:Arial;">]<sup>]]</sup></b>

Hopefully this version doesn't cause any errors (I would have no idea). 4TheWynne 11:57, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, I usually check for length when the signature is close to the limit, but I missed it in this case and gave you a signature 9 characters over the 255 limit. Your solution works, but the markup style="font:Arial;" doesn't do anything. For users with default font Arial, it stays Arial, and for users with any other default font, that default doesn't change. Here is a signature that really does override the user's default font in 251 characters:

<b style="font-family:Arial">]<sup>]]</sup></b> : 4TheWynne

If we needed to save 3 more characters, we could change darkblue to #00008B each time. —Anomalocaris (talk) 21:08, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Anomalocaris, thanks – I've now updated to this version. 4TheWynne 05:23, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks! —Anomalocaris (talk) 01:40, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

"Unconstructive Edits"

How exactly were my edits "unconstructive"? (Which isn't even a word) If an artist doesn't play on a track it must be noted. JJ.Jarrett (talk) 00:12, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

JJ.Jarrett, it must be sourced before it "must be noted". 4TheWynne 01:18, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

I did source it a few months ago from a Rolling Stone article but someone has reverted that for some reason. JJ.Jarrett (talk) 02:02, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

JJ.Jarrett, a more appropriate source for this kind of thing would be the liner notes or something coming more directly from the band. Hammett didn't explicitly say that he didn't play on "Nothing Else Matters" in the interview that Rolling Stone sources, and that's therefore not enough to say that this is the case. I was the one who removed it the first time, and I've removed it again for this reason. Hammett played lead guitar for the whole album, and Hetfield played rhythm guitar and a solo – that is perfectly fine how it is. 4TheWynne 02:31, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

You're clearly biased. Rolling Stone is a reliable source, and has been used for countless articles but of course only YOU have a problem with it when it comes to an edit you don't like. Umm yes he did, he said he had to learn the song because HE NEVER PLAYED IT BEFORE. No Hammett did NOT play lead guitar for the whole album, he does NOT play lead guitar on Nothing Else Matters at all. JJ.Jarrett (talk) 03:22, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

JJ.Jarrett, where does Hammett say that "he never played it before"? Hammett never said it, and just because Rolling Stone said it, regardless of how respected it might be, doesn't necessarily mean that it's true, particularly if that's what the magazine is using to make that claim. Besides, even if Hammett didn't record the introduction, it doesn't mean that he didn't play on the song at all. There's no bias here – you just have to present something more concrete. I've now asked you to take this discussion to the talk page. 4TheWynne 03:31, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

@JJ.Jarrett: You need to stop edit warring and open a discussion on the article's talk page and seek consensus. - FlightTime (open channel) 03:39, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
