Hi why do you remove stuf that are correct from the Bocelli page as if you are the only one who has the right to contibute to that page! <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 00:04, 12 May 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Hi why do you assume I am acting like I am the only one who has the right to contribute to the page. Please see the comment attached to the removal.] (])

Because thats wat u do, u keep removing every thing people write, even when its sourced and state raisons that are subjective; like the award section in Bocelli's page for example: wats ur problem with me stating all the awards won by Bocelli during his carrer, all of which are important awards. Perhaps I should create a page titled Awards won by Bocelli, and just put a link to that article under Awards in the Bocelli article, if u prefer, but i dont see y i cant just put all of them.

==Leonardo da Vinci==
Please do not remove statements that are well sourced, like Count Melzi's statement that Leonardo's love for his pupils was "passionate", and that Leonardo's sexuality had been subject to "satire". As it happens, the earliest mention (after his death) that Leonardo may have been homosexual comes from a 16th century satirical novel in which Leonardo is interviewed and questioned about his relationships and he says something to the effect that boys are irrestible at fifteen when taken from behind. The purported interview is satire. It is certainly not a serious study, but it does seriously indicate a trend that later analysis was to take.

Also, the reason for the odd placement of the reference in mid sentence is that words like "famous" etc are not used in wikipedia, unless they are cited. The referenced is to that one word, not to the whole statement. ] (]) 11:31, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

==List of awards won by Bocelli==
I undid your edits of the Bocelli award page, and the award section in the Bocelli article ... i don't see why we shouldn't put the awards in a seperate page, especially since I'm not done with editing the page you deleted. I was gonna do it the right way tomorrow but I need the page I started today, so I wouldn't have to restart everything, Tx. Plus there are many important nominations, for grammys and such that need to be added, and that will take too much space in the article. On the other hand, i don't have a problem with the edits you made with the Andrea Bocelli Template, I think I'll just write a separate article about each opera recording, as I would do for any of Bocelli's regular albums.] (]) 05:32, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Well other artists have pages about there awards, and it really isn't a big deal so you should maybe let it go. Plus grammy nominations, eccho awards and classical brit awards are important awards, (and being nominated to a grammy is a big deal) or else they wouldn't have thier own articles on wiki. I'm gonna undo it for the last time, please don't create n editing war for small deal.--] (]) 03:31, 28 February 2010 (UTC)


Hello Tonalone: Regarding ]. Your edit removing the 'Anecdotes' section was justified because the section was ostensibly the work of a 'banned editor.' I saw no proof for that assertion. In fact the Anecdotes had been accruing for several years. If you want to edit this article, please have some legitimate reason. Thanks. ] (]) 06:48, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Plus I haven't made the article feathure more awards, the awards listed are the same as was in the article the only diffrence is they are better organised. An another thing opera and classical music aren't the same thing.--] (]) 03:37, 28 February 2010 (UTC)


== Banned users ==
I know I meant opera music is singing arias from operas, and performing in operas, whereas classical music is a more generel term that includes other thinks, like a Canzone Napoletana or a hym, all of which Bocelli also performes, again not a big deal, so lets not argue over a simple word added in an article that is actually factual.--] (]) 03:43, 28 February 2010 (UTC)


I've noticed that you've been removing chunks of material from articles for several months, claiming it was added by some unnamed banned user. Please explain who this "banned user" is and how you know who they are. I find your edits really dubious. We are ''not'' obliged to remove edits by banned users but usually decide on a case-by-case basis - we certainly don't do it if it damages the articles because the articles are what we're all here for. If you continue edit warring and deleting material from articles without giving a damn good reason (and some vague "banned user" claim is not a good reason) you're the one who is going to be blocked for damaging articles. I've looked at the history of this page and I see this has been an issue since at least back in February when someone contacted you about the Szymanowski article. FYI, per the ] policy, which allows editors in good standing to take responsibility for a banned user's reverted edits, I've restored that material to the page. ] 13:18, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

== ] ==
Hi Tonalone! I notice that you have been making some bold edits lately, removing content dealing with the historical issue of pederasty. Pederasty was a fact of life in ancient Greece and Rome and it must be addressed in a spirit of historical objectivity. I and many others have opposed edits that set out to promote pederasty - such as by the now banned user ]. Edits promoting pederasty disrupt, annoy and discourage conscientious editors - which is what your edits are also doing. Please use talk pages to discuss issues before making major changes. Sometimes history and propaganda differ in degree rather than in kind - as in deciding how much emphasis or space should be given to a particular issue like pederasty - and for that we must rely on the guidance of published scholars, not on our personal preferences. Edits promoting pederasty tend to have the following characteristics:
*they rely on sentimental accounts by authors of doubtful authority, ancient or modern, often quoting them in superfluous detail;
*they exaggerate the issue of pederasty by giving it more space or a more priviledged position than it deserves i.e. they don't follow the priorities established by accepted scholars;
*they misrepresent and misinterpret sources from habitual disregard for accuracy or from outright dishonesty;
*they add to a 'walled garden' of interlinked articles presenting a sentimental or favourable view of pederasty, based mainly on the idealised accounts of priviledged 5th/4th century Athenians;
*they locate pederastic images in inappropriate places, such as at the head of an article that has almost nothing to do with pederasty, so that other articles link to that image. etc


Hi,<br>
Propagandist edits like those cannot be countered by mere deletion of pederastic content - deletion merely clears the space for spiders to weave their webs again and it undoes the hard work of conscientious editors who were trying to keep the spiders in check. I hope you will accept this advice, in everyone's best interest. ] (]) 01:39, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
