Yes, if someone could explain why the tag on Quilla Constance page has been applied, that would be great. As mentioned, all statements I've added to this page are verifiable through reliable sources/trusted official websites and written in neutral tone/. Furthermore the contributions from other editors also appear to work within Wikipedia guidelines. The tone of the biography is factual and neutral throughout. If you disagree, please explain which section is problematic and let me know how I should fix it - or please help me to remove the tag.

A message from 210.153.194.244

210.153.194.244 (talk) 21:42, 14 November 2018 (UTC) This is not vandalism. If Brian May was not a member of Queen and had a WIkipedia page, he would be listed as a physicist. Let's not be stupid.

I did not say it was vandalism. I said source your claim. Quite different. - FlightTime (open channel) 21:43, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

I apologize, Wikipedia reported it to me as vandalism. The source is in the page already. Brian May is an astrophysicist who has a doctorate as a result of his thesis, "A survey of radial velocities in the zodiacal dust cloud," available here (as per Wikipedia): https://spiral.imperial.ac.uk:8443/handle/10044/1/1333 I genuinely appreciate your dedication to maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia, but please check the article and commentary of editors before claiming they are making random statements. 210.153.194.244 (talk) 21:53, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Where did Wikipedia say it was vandalism? Your source needs to go with your claim, not here. - FlightTime (open channel) 21:57, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Why do you want me blocked? Those pic's I was 'copying' are the same picture, just cropped. I stated that before I uploaded on Commons that the picture is already licensed but I just uploaded a cropped version. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keditz (talk • contribs) 18:35, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

I'm new on Wikipedia, why do you expect me to know every detail/info needed to edit? You could atleast help me out instead of threatening to block me and making it look like I've done something horrible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keditz (talk • contribs) 18:37, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

FlightTime I feel like I'm being almost 'bullied' by this user. This user stated that some sort of discussion regarding me is going on which has me worried. He's also made it look like I've purposely done needless things on Wikipedia when all I'm doing is trying to help articles. Please remember that I am new to this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keditz (talk • contribs) 18:44, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Why are you upset about the image I have uploaded of Andy Fraser? Allrightnow1970 (talk) 21:59, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

@Allrightnow1970: I am not upset. When you uploaded the file you gave no source, no license. Unless youcan prove the image is free licensed or that you took the photo, is a copyright violation and we don't allow copy vio's here or on Commons. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:28, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

hi. I have just accepted an addition that I see you had rejected as 'no consensus' - I only saw that after. I checked the link and the detail is in it so I accepted, if you feel it controversial and in need of discussion and consensus I am more than happy to remove it to the talkpage or please feel free to do the same.

A message from The Dweeb.30

Burning Bridges is the 13th studio album by bon jovi this house is not for sale is the 14th. There are many reliable sources that back up our claims unlike your claims. If you can't provide a reliable source then we're going to report you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Dweeb.30 (talk • contribs) 06:53, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

@The Dweeb.30: Burning Bridges is a compilation album not a studio album So your claim and edit are incorrect, hence my revert. Happy editing, - FlightTime (open channel) 13:57, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

@FlightTime a compilation is a collection of previously released songs,remixes,re-records etc. While some of the songs of "Burning Bridges" our leftovers from "The Circle" & "What About Now" they were reworked on & were not previously released there for making the 13th studio album by Bon Jovi. The Dweeb.30 (talk) 15:39, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

@The Dweeb.30: Well, Burning Bridges is listed as a compilation album on the article page and not a studio album, however you are free to seek consensus on the article's talk page if you feel that's wrong. - FlightTime (open channel) 15:50, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

A message from Gdogh

I received a message that you removed my improvements to the 'deepsea challenger' page and that I should first use a talk page to gain consensus. This is not familiar to me as a newer editor. I was part of the deepsea challenger expedition and sub build so have original documents (unpublished as they are proprietary) and data from which I am pulling information for sharing and improving the entry. The graphs I added were using real data versus the one published 5 years ago using external tweet record to determine descent and ascent rates. Help!? How does a person new to Wikipedia (easily) add what I think the community would agree is legitimate improvement to the existing content? Thank you!!!! I would appreciate any and all guidance you can provide.

Gdogh (talk) 17:31, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

@Gdogh: Welcome to Wikipedia, I am not saying in any terms that what you added is false or incorrect. Major changes to articles need to be discussed to give other editors a chance to voice their opinions on if the information should be included, this is explained in depth here: WP:Consensus. On a second note, if you're are involved with the project you have what we consider a conflict of interest and shouldn't be editing the article at all, you can however make edit request described here: Wikipedia:Edit requests. - FlightTime (open channel) 17:46, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

A message from Artaria195

@FlightTime:, Continuing this conversation from before . . . Using IMDb as a source seems to be debatable, cast lists on IMDb are in the category of 'disputed uses' here WP:CITINGIMDB. But, in any event, since this is not a major point of the article, but rather a biographical detail, it seems like IMDb should suffice. Where else do you recommend finding a cast list from a television show from 1989? This is not a 'potentially contentious issue about a living person' but rather falls under 'disputed uses' and so I believe your edit is rather drastic and request that it be reverted. Thank you, Artaria195 (talk) 18:51, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

@Artaria195: Please see my comment here. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 19:05, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

May I know what was wrong with Elvis? I did source, the source I cited states he sold atleast 1 billion records worldwide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keditz (talk • contribs) 22:42, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

@Keditz: Very good, my error this time, you just moved the text I was concerned about. If you would use edit summaries this probabbly wouldn't have happened, but you don't listen to anyone. Still not signing your post I see. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:51, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Okay as I've stated I haven't been using Wiki for very long (only 2/3 months) and still learning, and everyone makes mistakes.(Keditz (talk) 22:59, 26 November 2018 (UTC))

Michael Jackson

What did I do wrong just now, please may I know? I barely made an edit, I said in the summary it was a minor grammar mistake. If you read through the first page you will realise there's a minor correction needed. I just don't get how you're now irritated when all I did was just get rid of a minor grammar mistake. - Keditz (talk) 19:04, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

That is exactally the type of edits we are discussing at ANI. You honestly do not think you should discuss moving all that content around first ? Do you not understand the points we're trying to give you, especially @Ad Orientem: refers to this type of editing specifically. - FlightTime (open channel) 19:16, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

You're right, that's wrong on my behalf. IF I do this again, I'll make sure before hand I'll discuss on the talk page. - Keditz (talk) 20:06, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

I got your message about my post on the talk page of "American Pie". I will feel free to post any message I think is appropriate to the website. And a comment about how that site has been co-opted by the editor IS appropriate because it IS true. DO NOT GO AROUND BEGGING FOR MONEY if you can't stomach a legitimate complaint about one of your lousy editors and if you want to prohibit me from putting appropriate comments about an editor's habits on the talk page and go ahead and do it. 47.138.90.39 (talk) 02:31, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

BMK

Hi FlightTime, I didn't think it was fair to butt it on Beyond My Kens talkpage so thought I'd directly come here,
Whilst on the face of it saying "Fuck you asshole" could be considered incivil I personally consider the templated messages to be incivil (in some respects), rude and condescending and had that been me they would've got the exact same treatment,
It's generally preferred to leave personal handwritten messages or warnings as opposed to the newbie/condescending ones,
As I said I didn't want to butt in but I wanted to perhaps explain why BMK reacted the way they did,
Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 21:01, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

@Davey2010: Thank you for your input, but I think of how many thousands of times I wanted to leave such an message/edit summary, as I just replied on his talk Regardless of your rational that is inaceptal coming from a seasoned editor. - FlightTime (open channel) 21:05, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Well I guess we're all different - Some see templated messages as an okay and helpful thing and others take immediate offence to it,

Obviously I cannot speak for BMK but on a personal level if I do something wrong I want someone to come to my talkpage and tell me .... not essentially treat me like a 2yo which is how I perceive them but as I said we're different and we all see things differently I guess :),

Ah well sorry to have bothered you, Enjoy your evening, –Davey2010^Talk 21:26, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi! I would be more than happy to start a conversation on adding members to the Doobie Brothers timeline per your recommendation yesterday. How would I go about starting a conversation and where should I place it so others can see and contribute? Thank you so much! StrangersFan (talk) 13:25, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

@StrangersFan: Hi, you can use the article's talk page for the discussion, here are the guidelines for talk page discussions. Good luck, - FlightTime Public (open channel) 13:35, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you! I started the discussion on the talk page for the Doobie Brothers ( https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Talk:The_Doobie_Brothers ) since that is the page where I feel the changes should be made. The subject is Members Section. What is the protocol moving forward? Do I just go ahead after a certain period and make the change or do I need to wait for a response? What if no one comments? And do I make the change I am requesting or would you reinstate the change that I originally made? Sorry for all the questions! Thank you! StrangersFan (talk) 15:58, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

@StrangersFan: Your changes must not be made until the discussion has run it's course and consensus is reached. Discussions can take up to a couple weeks, not all users who might want to weigh in are online every day, even then some users will wait and see what others' have to say before commenting. The article has 121 page watchers, so comments should be coming in.

Concerning the recent edits...

Hello there! I noticed you reverted one of my edits on the page about Sri Lanka's parliament. Just so I'm sure, was the bit that needed a citation the fact that Rajapaksa was listed as the prime minister in the first place, or was it his party switch that needed citing? I just wanted to be sure, since the page seems to have been reverted to a version that included Wickremesinghe as prime minister. Thanks! Nlivingston000 (talk) 01:00, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

@Nlivingston000: Any change you make to existing claims must be sourced to support you changing the information. - FlightTime (open channel) 01:11, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

Edits to 1970s in fashion

The edit I made wasn't disruptive, and didn't add or remove anything that wasn't already cited. The previous sentence was very badly written and contradictory, and I tried to make it easier to understand. Hippie fashion can either "fade out of popularity" or continue to be fashionable, but it can't be both.

Old edit: Despite the hippie culture fading out of popularity in the early 1970s, the decade began with a continuation of the hippie look from the 1960s, giving a distinct ethnic flavor.

My edit: From 1970-72, hippie culture went mainstream, giving fashion a distinct ethnic flavor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.9.224.228 (talk) 03:21, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

A message from Asherer922

Hey. Thanks for the feedback on my addition to the Alice Cooper page. I guess I was a little confused because I didn't see where the post broke any of the guidelines for citing IMDB.

(COPIED from the Citing IMDB Page)

   Any potentially contentious material about living persons (BLPs).
   Cast lists, etc. for films and television programming that are still in development or production, and have yet to premiere.
   The user comments for each title (this includes user reviews and ratings), which are pure user-generated content.
   Sections written in wiki-style with minimal editorial control. Those would be the FAQs for particular titles (not the database FAQ), the parental guides, and the plot synopses (not to be confused with the plot outlines or plot summaries, which are subject to editorial control).
   Newsgroup reviews, which are archived Usenet postings.
   The trivia and goofs sections that are based on user submissions.
   The recommendations.

For future edits, can you clarify where I went wrong?

Thanks.

I'm still a little confused. What makes the edit potentially contentious? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asherer922 (talk • contribs) 19:32, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Asherer922 (talk) 18:55, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

@Asherer922: Well, you answered your own question with the copied text, but it makes more sense with the section header just above what you copied.

   Questionable resources
   Any potentially contentious material about living persons (BLPs).

Alice Cooper is a Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons (BLP) article.

Keditz||XXXTENTACION

Hey so, over at the ANI there was a discussion about Keditz and his disruptive editing. One specific example was him changing Post Malone’s Rap Rock genre to Rock when the source stated the former. He has done the exact same thing on XXXTENTACION before it got locked further. If you check right now, the source for rock states “hip hop and alternative rock” (these were my sources which he reverted), and R&B’s source states “alternative R&B”. Plus he reverted other strongly sourced genres (such as Soundcloud rap w/ Vulture. I just was wondering could you revert it back to my genre structure, nitpicking if you feel the genre isnt as strong as i sought for it to be.

Minal Khan (actress)

Sorry for any mistake, but nobody is trying to discuss at Talk:Minal Khan (actress) about the article. Is this title will be redirect forever? I mean if the actress meets notability then why every one is restoring redirect? 119.160.117.61 (talk) 20:23, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Redirected pages have nothing to do with the nobility of the subject, it's more along the lines of helping to find the subject's page. - FlightTime (open channel) 20:16, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

You are right but at that time may be she was not notable of being a stand alone article but now article is well sources. Actress can easily passes WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG but contineously redirected multiple times. Did you saw that article? 119.160.117.61 (talk) 20:30, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

A message from 165.234.101.39

@FlightTime: You undid my edit to Three Dog Night since you said it was "unsourced", meanwhile there are multiple other paragraphs on the exact same page that are unsourced, yet are completely fine, which brings me to my next point. Any knowledgeable Three Dog Night fan knows the information I had added, it didn't need a source. If you are unsure if it is truthful or not, just look at Three Dog Night's discography, the chart data proves the album didn't sell well and wasn't promoted properly, and it shows that "Everybody Is a Masterpiece" was an Adult Contemporary hit, just like I had added to the page. Was this enough to persuade you that the information is accurate? 165.234.101.39 (talk) 19:05, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Why do you bother? There was nothing about my edit that could possibly warrant a "discussion". Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 15:39, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

@Mikrobølgeovn: Why do I bother ? what the hell is that? Why don't you leave an edit summary? If it's a "minor change" then let others' know that. We have editors changing timelines to their "preferred version" all the time. - FlightTime (open channel) 15:46, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

My edit was a minor visual fix. Sorry aboyt the edit summary, but by now you are surely aware that it was not vandalism, so why did you revert a second time? Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 15:53, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Consensus is established if there is a disagreement after an initial edit. If we had to open discussion threads before every minor edit we make, Wikipedia would come to a halt.

Chicago Timeline Changes

Hello FlightTime,

You recently reverted my edits to the member timeline on the Chicago the Band page. The main edit I made was to change back the edits from user: Zontas as of 16:30, 13 December 2018‎ where he changed the timeline to be organized by instrument rather than by date of joining the band without discussion. I reverted that edit back to the original format where the members are listed by date of joining the band and asked that there be discussion of the matter first before it was changed. I already created a new section on the Chicago talk page for a timeline discussion and placed my position on the matter there on December 9th. Can you review and restore my edits, which reverted the original change in format? The additional edits I did were to properly display all the instruments in the legend, as the edit that Zontas did cut off a few of the instruments from display. Regards209.212.21.197 (talk) 20:23, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

I know what you did, but you need to discuss your changes on the talk page, so other editors who watch that article can voice their opinions of your changes, it's called consensus. - FlightTime (open channel) 20:28, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

@FlightTime: I don't know why you think that it's mandatory to open a discussion before editing (unless the edit contradicts a consensus that has already been established through discussions, of course). I encourage you to take a look at WP:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. I disagree with IP and would have reverted the edits myself, but only because I actually disagree with the edit - not because the editor has done things in the "wrong" order. I'm not trying to be a dick, but I think you're causing yourself some unneccessary headache by reverting over formalities rather than content. Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 01:26, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Merry Merry

		Happy Christmas!
		Hello FlightTime, Early in A Child's Christmas in Wales the young Dylan and his friend Jim Prothero witness smoke pouring from Jim's home. After the conflagration has been extinguished Dylan writes that Nobody could have had a noisier Christmas Eve. And when the firemen turned off the hose and were standing in the wet, smoky room, Jim's Aunt, Miss. Prothero, came downstairs and peered in at them. Jim and I waited, very quietly, to hear what she would say to them. She said the right thing, always. She looked at the three tall firemen in their shining helmets, standing among the smoke and cinders and dissolving snowballs, and she said, "Would you like anything to read?"

A message from Hse643

Can I start editing again without my edits automatically being reversed or am I banned? I responded to the message you left on my talk page and have gotten no response. I posted it there with the impression you would see it sooner. I realize you're busy (and it's the holidays), but it's been two weeks and I've been expecting a response, so I'm leaving you a message here. Hse643 (talk) 00:01, 27 December 2018 (UTC)Hse643

Your revert at Achuguayo

@FlightTime: Can you explain why you reverted this edit? Paul August ☎ 16:40, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

@Paul August: Well, The only thing I can think of is I obviously misunderstood the change. Thank you for pointing this out and for the fix. - FlightTime (open channel) 19:13, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

@FlightTime: That was one of several edits by Hse643 you reverted (see their talkpage). You might want to review them. None of them seem unconstructive to me. You might want to reply to the two messages that left for you, on their and your talkpages. Tell them that you reverted their edit(s) in error? Paul August ☎ 19:57, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

 Done Thank you again. - FlightTime (open channel) 20:07, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

@FlightTime: Thank you. Can you explain why you originally ignored their posts on their talk page as well as yours? Paul August ☎ 21:16, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

@FlightTime: Hi FlightTime, did you miss the above? I'm asking since I see that you've edited twice since. The reason I'm asking about the above, Is that I see that you make A LOT or reverts. And I was was wondering if, when you sometimes make mistakes (as we all do, from time to time), you could watch for responses like this user made and follow up on them, so that we can mitigate the damage done by mistakes like these. For example I notice that this user created an account on Nov 30, 2018, editing nearly every day (~200 edits) until Dec 13, when he posted this reply to your warning messages on his talk page, and then didn't edit again until this edit on your talk page on Dec 27, which you archived here with no reply (did you read it?), and hasn't edited again. I'm afraid we may have lost a good new user as a result of all this. As you may be aware, losing such editors is a serious problem for Wikipedia (you might want to read WP:BITE, if you haven't already). Could you please reply to this so that we can discuss this? Thanks. Regards, Paul August ☎ 18:21, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

@Paul August:, Sorry for the late reply, kinda in the middle of RL issues. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I will be more careful. Sometimes I'm a little too quick with the assumptions and a trigger finger. Thanx again, - FlightTime (open channel) 21:09, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Your welcome. Thanks for being more careful, and thanks for all the good work you do. (No need to worry about the lateness of the reply, We are all volunteers, and RL always takes precedence). Paul August ☎ 21:26, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Why are you manually archiving talk pages that have automatic archiving set up, as you did at Talk:Gravity (2013 film)? CapnZapp (talk) 16:54, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

@CapnZapp: That's what the script is for, to archive old, only one signature and missed threads. Why are you concerned about someone using this script? - FlightTime (open channel) 18:11, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

@Rcaudill87: Well, if you're connected to the band, you have a conflict of interest and shouldn't be editing the page at all. You'll need to make edit requests ( see {{request edit}} ) and have reliable 3rd party sources to back up your claim.

@Rcaudill87: First of all, you don't need to place your sources here on my page, they need to go with your edits. Second, Wikipedia does not cite it'self and Facebook can be iffy. Follow the instructions at {{request edit}} and make a request and an editor who knows the subject matter will make your changes or ping you for more info. Have a great day, - FlightTime (open channel) 00:09, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

HA HA HA You wont use your own website as a source. HA HA Proves right there shit you see on wiki isnt 100% true!!!! Cracked me up!!!

@Rcaudill87: Who said it was 100% correct ? Anyway, I think I've done all I can here, good luck on your edit request, welcome to Wikipedia and happy editing. - FlightTime (open channel) 00:34, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

A message from 149.200.24.6

Hello! You recently removed my edit to the "We are the world" song page, I added a bit about a performance at a local high school that is becoming very famous. Could you please be so kind and reverse your decision on removing it? You cited it as being "non-notable". It is quite notable, as multiple news outlets wrote about it, and the organizer appeared on national television. I think that is pretty notable. Thank you in advance!

149.200.24.6 (talk) 13:46, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, no I will not. Did you read my edit summary ? The information you're wanting to add, although might be very notable to your local area, but not to a world wide Encyclopedia. In my edit summary I stated the best course for you to take, which is open a discussion on the article talk page and seek consensus, if the editors who regularly watch that page agree that your local event is notable, then in it goes. - FlightTime (open channel) 14:27, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

A message from Potholehotline

sorry to bother you but apparently i put my question in the wrong place. my point was that i could find no connection between the photo next to the on this day section and the text within said section.seems a bit strange that that would result in an 'edit reversion' and the advice that 'the page is not a forum'. i would think that there is a problem with the page if a reasonably intelligent person fails to find a connection between the text and the featured photo.

Thanks for your "thank you" about Prime Directive, however the anonymous user who is requesting sources for the material (and reverting my edits with the source material in it) continues to revert, and has even left a nasty-gram on my talk page.

@MarchOrDie: My advice was based on seeing two editors starting an edit war and trying to discuss the matter via edit summaries and I do know enough about this project to know that's not how it's done, I don't need to know anything about the subject to step in on two editors editing like newbies. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 17:01, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Gosh. Where to begin. two editors starting an edit war Nope, as far as I can see it was one bold edit, followed by a revert (from you, although you say you know nothing about the subject), then discussion in talk. You know, WP:BRD? trying to discuss the matter via edit summaries Nope, we were discussing it in talk. You should have looked. I do know enough about this project to know that's not how it's done Well, I see you're a bit of an expert when it comes to edit warring so I guess you should know what you're talking about.

Well, I'd like to thank you for jumping in on Prime Directive...but your revert went back to a time before the information about The Apple was listed. Was it really your intention to wipe that reference out?

Message from Chandra Shekher Mishra

I think Ukulele and harmonica should be included in the page of Eddie Vedder. I don't have time to read the guidelines but thinking much upon the fact, i should say that not including these 2 instruments would be like if he only can play guitar for those who are rookies. Please create a thread in the talk page of the respective article (as anonym users aren't allowed) and see if it reaches the consensus. Thanks for giving your precious time. Forever Present 117.234.154.48 (talk) 14:19, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

I have no problem with bringing up those instruments, however they should be mentioned in the article body. Secondary instruments are not listed in the infobox. - FlightTime Phone (open channel) 14:33, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

So just for my knowledge, I would like to ask that what should that instruments section be used for. I mean, I can be really helpful in guarding unlawful edits if i can know such minute things. And also if in the article body, then in which section i should add it. Regards 117.234.154.48 (talk) 14:49, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Achilles1643 (talk) 04:22, 18 March 2019 (UTC) the Vampires Everywhere page says "November 2016, Vampires Everywhere! disbanded once again and Michael Vampire started a new band called Dead Girls Academy."

and you say my edit "On June 15, 2018, Dead Girls Academy released their first album Alchemy" isn't relevant because the subject of Dead Girls Academy isn't relevant. you keep deleting my edit. but keep the other mention of Dead Girls Academy. either they both are relevant or neither is. respond or i will take this to the dispute resolution page

@Achilles1643: Yes, If a Vampires Everywhere! member starts a new band, that's relevant to the Vampires Everywhere!, whatever that new band does is NOT relevant to Vampires Everywhere!. - FlightTime (open channel) 04:27, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

Alberto279 (talk) 01:24, 22 March 2019 (UTC) Hell Flight Time, regarding Laura Pausini's music genre, two of her most famous albums, the Grammy winner "Resta in ascolto/Escucha" and Latin Grammy winners "Io Canto" and "Primavera Anticipada" are clearly stated as Pop Rock albums, so that genre should be added to her wikipedia page even more than the "adult contemporary". Thank you.

@Alberto279: Personal knowledge is not verifiable, either by an editor or one of our readers and therefore not a citable source, even if you're an expert. As the message I left on your talk changes to genres require reliable sources and consensus, which you have not provided. - FlightTime (open channel) 01:29, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Ok, so, can you provide reliable sources that state Laura Pausini as an "adult contemporary" artist, can you?, if you do, please do it, cause she's more of a pop rock artist than anything else. Alberto279 (talk) 01:36, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
