Your submission at Articles for creation: It's All Right (Kinks song) (December 23)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by HitroMilanese was: This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Misplaced Pages article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Misplaced Pages. The comment the reviewer left was: No indication how this meets WP:NSONG. Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Officer and a Spy

Why the reversion on Roman Polanski's page? The text was put in back when the film's title wasn't known yet, but we know now. Incerto501 (talk) 03:55, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn’t know if it was vandalism because it said 2013 and was linked to a book. We can put it back in, but it should be with 2019 and the right link/formatting in italics. Thanks for letting me know. YouCanDoBetter (talk) 03:58, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Got it, thanks for clarifying! Sorry about the link error, usually I check that first. It's actually already linked twice earlier in the article so I left it unlinked but italicized this time. Incerto501 (talk) 15:42, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Please review WP:BRD, our page on best practices for resolving editorial disagreements when your edit has been reverted. It does no good simply to assert, as you did in your edit summary, that you are correct. That leads to edit warring, which is unconstructive. Please self-revert your second edit so that the status quo remains in the article while you advocate for your view on the article talk page. See also WP:BLP Thanks. SPECIFICO talk 23:11, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Normally I would agree, but there doesn't seem to be any justification in the first place to place undue emphasis on the politics of a subject when it is not relevant, e.g. "Roger Waters, a self-proclaimed socialist and musician with a history of conflict with Jewish commentators, gave his support to the Black Lives Matter movement." If I hear a single reason why Jones is worth mentioning or Stone's politics are worth mentioning, I will self-revert immediately. But at the moment it seems like politically-motivated, off-topic editorializing. Not looking for a fight, just a reason, I don't know who added this in the first place but it seems like they were just trying to go off-topic. YouCanDoBetter (talk) 00:00, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
The place to say that is on the article talk page -- before undoing the revert. I did not say it is all excessive. But you need to justify each part you think should be cut. Please self revert. SPECIFICO talk 01:26, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Pre-code Hollywood

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Pre-code Hollywood. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

Please stop edit warring and go to the talk page and make your case for your edits. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:28, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
