Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kyle Harrison, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Nike, MLL and STX.

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Maitreya, you may be blocked from editing. Hello, please discuss the content you keep adding to the page, continuously reverting will likely lead to blockage. Acousmana (talk) 10:48, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jersey drill link

Hey man, you removed a link to Jersey drill in this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Drill_music&oldid=1100374385 claiming that "Jersey drill is not the same as Jersey club".. but no one argued to the opposite. If you look a bit closer, Jersey drill links to a section in Jersey club called "Jersey drill" so maybe your removal of the link was incorrect? What do you think PDDisPDDat (talk) 18:32, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since an argument could be made the Jersey drill is Jersey club drill, I have undid my previous edit. However, all it takes is one Jersey artist to make drill music that is distinct from Jersey club music for the two 'Jersey drill' and 'Jersey club drill' to be de-conflated. I do not know of any such artist, but time will tell. SmoovOpr8r (talk) 02:26, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Having just listened to LilC4 — «So Much Too Say But Nahh» release (for instance), I can definitely say that artists like him (he's from New Jersey IIANM) easily mix jersey drill and jersey club drill within the same release. I'm not really an expert and that my music is not my cup of tea, all I did in Wikipedia was to rename that lengthy "Jersey drill / Jersey club drill" section title into a somewhat shorter "Jersey drill" (and mentioning "Jersey club drill among other names in infobox). I get what you say, one can definitely separate jersey drill from jersey club drill, the former being brooklyn (or uk or chicago or whatever) drill made in jersey and the latter being jersey club infused drill from jersey. But as far as the subgenre goes (and now I am talking about jersey club + drill fusion) it looks to me, judging from that section in "Jersey club", that the fusion subgenre can also called simply "Jersey drill" thus creating a two distinct meanings for Jersey drill, one meaning a scene and the other meaning "Jersey club drill".

I mean, if there are reliable sources that clearly separate Jersey drill from Jersey club drill then we need to separate them. There's an analogous issue with "Sample drill" from Bronx which was frivoulously called "Bronx drill" by a reputable source referenced in the sample drill section. That's (personally saying) a ridiculous statement to claim because obviously Bronx drill is much wider than sample drill, but that observation is my OR (although quite obvious) and not supported by sources and therefore cannot be left in Wikipedia.

Same goes about Jersey club drill and Jersey drill. I haven't written that section and as I've said I only did some maintenance on it but from the looks of it the author of that section didn't care about the distinction, and neither did the person who linked Jersey drill from Drill music article in the first place.

Cool down rewriting drill article

There is absolutely no need moving and renaming sections of article. Words like "Unfortunately", "classic album", "one of the greatest rappers of all time" and so on, while a ton of unsourced statements like the name coming from fire drill indicate low-quality content. Only add relevant content to already established referenced text, correct what is wrong and be otherwise productive and don't rewrite referenced text beyond recognition to suit your needs 178.121.42.140 (talk) 17:32, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits absolutely obfuscate what has been added by you and what you moved, cause you never bothered to add edit summaries too. 178.121.42.140 (talk) 17:36, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have added back most, if not all, referenced information that you added during your edit rampage, so to say, including the role of Youtube, Keef's Interscope deal, and Finally Rich. But there's an important difference: I have added it back into the context of original article, without totally redoing it as you did 178.121.42.140 (talk) 19:01, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia

You did not identify the source of the material in your edit. It appears to be Protoscience. Copying within Wikipedia is acceptable but it must be attributed.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, linking to the source article and adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.

While best practices are that attribution should be added to the edit summary at the time the edit is made, the linked article on best practices describes the appropriate steps to add attribution after the fact. I have done so for you this time, but hope you will follow best practices yourself next time.

I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that need to be crossed.S Philbrick (Talk) 13:23, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I will make note of this moving forward. Thank you. Cerebrality (talk) 16:17, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Cerebrality: Please see what I said at Sphilbrick's talk page about your edit discussed above and content forking. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Cerebrality, thanks for your contribution to Andrew D. Huberman. Unfortunately I have to remove the edit you made as YouTube is not considered a reliable source per WP:ABOUTSELF.

Using a template for inline sources

This edit indicates you are not using available source templates for inline citations. The Wikipedia template can be used by inserting the correct ID and checking the ref tag and full journal name boxes. Citer is a good tool for doi and url sources. Complete the citation in template then cut and paste it into the text after punctuation, WP:REFPUNCT. Good luck. Zefr (talk) 16:53, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

July 2024

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Drill music, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:57, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two notes on sourcing

Hi Cerebrality, I'm Folly Mox, writing you a custom message.

I noticed you included a direct quote from a source at Yellow Emperor, then modified the quote. When including a direct quote from a source, it should maintain its exact wording, up to punctuation. This preserves text–source integrity. I restored the original wording and also moved the quote to a subheading later in the article. The lead section is supposed to summarise the article, and a single quote about a single aspect of the subject usually doesn't belong there, no matter whom the quote is attributed to. (Additionally, while the source here used the language that Confucius's quote was included in the Shiji, you introduced it as Confucious states in.... This requires some subject matter expertise to notice seems wrong, and the author of the quoted source could have been clearer, but this quote is from a different classic work, excerpted in one of the annotated commentaries to the Shiji. I fixed this attribution, but I can't blame you for that particular error.)

Pretty sure I recognised your username from somewhere, I took a quick glance at your contributions, and noticed you had removed two citations from the infobox at Battle of Kadesh, opting to cite instead an unreviewed arXiv preprint about machine learning. The sourcing at Battle of Kadesh certainly isn't great, but generally we strongly prefer published sources over preprints, especially in the humanities, where preprint culture is not as fully developed as it is in maths and physics. I kept your source, but restored the citations you had removed and added your source's source, since clearly as machine learning researchers those authors are not subject matter experts.

These two incidents give me the impression that you might want to be a bit more careful with the sources you use as well as how you use them. Keep up the good work, but please exercise a little more caution and discretion.

Your userpage says you meditate. I hope your practice is going well! I've been out of practice for years now but meditation really helped my health in the past. Kindly, Folly Mox (talk) 14:07, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I understand your Yellow Emperor edits.

And ok, there is room for improvement on my references.

Yes, I meditate, thank you. I also have taken extended breaks from meditation - a better alternative is switching out the forms of meditation. I started with mindfulness ad Samatha meditation, but have since done other forms such as reflection meditation, dream yoga and others. Currently, I am practicing bodily relaxation meditation.

Most of the edits you mark as "minor" are not minor edits

"Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Read Help:Minor edit for more information. Please stop incorrectly marking edits as minor. It's misleading and rude to other editors. You should consider never marking an edit as minor; then you'll never go wrong. Sundayclose (talk) 01:47, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
