Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited On the Corner, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Musical structure. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:10, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did here at On the Corner.

• 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 notice boards.
• 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.

Hello, I'm StarmanW. I noticed that in this edit to Musique concrète, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. 𝒮𝓉𝒶𝓇𝓂𝒶𝓃 𝒲 07:03, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Plastic pollution into Plastic. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:54, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

While we're at it, please learn how to properly cite references in articles, like for e.g. at Help:Citation Style 1 and so on.--Miki Filigranski (talk) 17:53, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, instead of edit warring, follow BRD and other processes while editing Wikipedia. Don't make

WP:POINT reverts or edits, nor push for your new revision if it was reverted. Unfriendly and ignorant behavior is only going to do you harm in the long run.--Miki Filigranski (talk) 17:59, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply

You called these warnings and bits of advice as accusations and snarky comments, practically accusing me of uncivil behavior and swinging my dick. Interestingly uncivil way of

WP:GOODFAITH), then go on, hit the wall with your head. I don't care.--Miki Filigranski (talk) 18:36, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply

Miki, if issuing warnings and making threats helps you cope that's OK, I'm comfortable with that. Thanks for your advice. Acousmana (talk) 18:45, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It has nothing to do with "cope", or any "threats", this is basic editorial procedure on Wikipedia. If you don't understand that, and answer to it with uncivil behavior then or 1) learn how to properly cope with Wikipedian community guidelines 2) or do not edit Wikipedia with such a behavior where is making everyone and everything less constructive and friendly place. It's simple as that.--Miki Filigranski (talk) 18:52, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh Miki, some day I will be as friendly as you, really I will, you are such a swell guy, thanks for caring. Acousmana (talk) 18:54, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gentlecollapse6: stop leaving silly warning messages on user pages in lieu of addressing substantive issues with poor quality sourcing. It's really lazy, and kinda juvenile actually. Acousmana (talk) 13:32, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

When you can adequately explain how 1) a professional music publication and 2) a published work of academic sociology don't constitute reliable sources for discussion of a musical genre/scene, I’ll be happy to hear it. In the meantime, try to avoid removing sourced content. gentlecollapse6 (talk) 21:57, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gentlecollapse6: single mention in a non-notable record review, by non-notable writer, and a random mention in a sociology text book, you think that constitutes reliable sourcing? It doesn't, you simply think this term should be mentioned because you have an attachment to it and would like to include it, no other reason. No real evidence that term has a notable history of usage. Acousmana (talk) 00:20, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Non-notable record review" according to who? "Random mention" according to who? Of course, these are all your biased opinions. I think this term should be used because I have "an attachment to it"? No, it should be used because professional sources have used them. Try again. gentlecollapse6 (talk) 00:33, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You’ve also failed to account for your original reversion, which removed several other alternate genre names which were included in prominent publications. Seems as though it’s your antipathy to the term "experimental techno" that trumped basic Wiki etiquette. gentlecollapse6 (talk) 00:36, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@

WP:RS citations that experimental techno is a term that is widely used interchangeably with the term intelligent dance music, do this and there's no objection. This is weak sourcing: Insomniac and a sociology text book. It's the "any old wank will do" approach to article production that's problematic here. A source being professional (a meaningless declarative in this context) has zero to do with it being reliable. Acousmana (talk) 01:45, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply

]

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Techno. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. gentlecollapse6 (talk) 16:03, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gentlecollapse6: stop leaving silly warning messages on user pages in lieu of consulting citations you have been provided with. It's really lazy, and kinda juvenile actually. Acousmana (talk) 16:17, 17 March 2020 (UTC)]][reply]

I'll repeat this on the article talk page, but: the claim is currently unsourced. It's that simple. Nothing in the body mentions "four on the floor" and your sentence in the lead does not contain a citation. If you want to provide this citation to justify the sentence, I invite you to do so. Otherwise, it is unsourced. gentlecollapse6 (talk) 16:20, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gentlecollapse6: you have been provided with a source, a publication offered in the list of references, you have refused to consult it. Not sure why that is? Acousmana (talk) 16:53, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Techno shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hi Acousmana. Could you please stop adding superfluous tags to Joe Biden sexual assault allegation? You added two yesterday, which I removed, and the you just re-added again. The article is subject to discretionary sanctions (see above). There are editing restrictions on the article: If an edit you make is reverted you must discuss on the talk page and wait 24 hours before reinstating your edit. ← You violated that restriction. Also, if you tag an article that is actively being edited, you should at least explain your reasoning on the talk page. - MrX 🖋 22:23, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@

If you have concerns about the article, you should be discussing them on the article talk page. Tag bombing is useless, bruv. - MrX 🖋 12:22, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MrX: bruv, you are one - of how many active editors over there? - taking issue with the "tag bombing" - tags exist to be used, if you have an issue with said functionality take it up on the talk page, not here. Acousmana (talk) 12:25, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Acousmana, thanks for your recent work on Acousmatic Room Orchestration System. I see you removed the "product plug" content. Does the current version justify removing the "Advert" label in your opinion? thanks and best regards, Stevo1425 (talk) 05:40, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Acousmana, I've seen that you are removing all statements from George Clanton related articles which are based on primary sources. Per

@Aeternus: it's advertising/marketing spiel by the artist on the page of an album they are selling, it has no place on Wikipedia, incidentally, do you by any chance have a COI you wish to declare with respect to Clanton based content? I see you have previously worked as a paid editor on music related articles. Acousmana (talk) 12:47, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Both claims are partially covered by secondary sources. I don't know Clanton personally and I was never contacted by him or anyone else about writing Clanton-related articles. If I was, I would declare COI as I previously did. --Λeternus ^(talk) 12:56, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Aeternus: my view is stick to the secondary sources, brand/music awareness initiatives that artists engage in - to promote themselves and their music - should be ignored, the content is not encyclopedic, it's PR. Acousmana (talk) 13:03, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Acousmana, I agree with you in principle. Is there a mechanism which can help us distinguish PR from sources which are created independently so we don't have to step on eggshells in the future? --Λeternus ^(talk) 13:15, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Aeternus: a wider discussion needs to happen about use of compromised sources, in lieu of that, use common sense. The nature of the music industry, with branding, marketing, influencing etc., means that there simply isn't a lot of 'real' music journalism, often it has more to do with the size of an artist's publicity budget. Note, Vice, for example, break down how their content is created. Editors working on music articles should not be inadvertently operating as publicists for record labels and their artists, but many are doing just this. Acousmana (talk) 13:53, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

EDM article Edit - You just reverted my edit which corrected the mis-use of the term EDM. You said... "Electronic dance music' is an established term in academic literature on the subject and it precedes usage as "genre,". This is irrelevant. I was not questioning the use of the term "electronic dance music", I was talking about the incorrect use of the term EDM. Therefore, how is acedemic literature on "electronic dance music" relevant in any way or any reason for you to revert the edit? The articles make it clear that EDM and Electronic dance music are very different things, and this is the widespread belief amoungst the educated in the dance music scene. Therefore, what reason ws there to revert the edit? Did you read the sources in full? Please re-instate my edit if you cannot come up with a valid explanation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truth-Purificashine (talk • contribs) 17:51, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Mamata Banerjee. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please 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, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. There is a separate page for her Government. This is her biography. Understand the difference first. Walrus Ji (talk) 19:22, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Mamata Banerjee; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that 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. Walrus Ji (talk) 19:23, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• @Walrus Ji: bro, bombarding folk with notices like this rather than using the article talk page to respond to legitimate discussion is childish, does this type of activity arouse you or something? Acousmana (talk) 19:30, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jerome Kohl was on the Main page today, - he is remembered in friendship. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:49, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there!

Could you please explain why you have reverted my removal of self-promotional material that is in clear violation of wikipedia policy? ( https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jordan_Peterson&diff=1003323097&oldid=1003217780 ) I have explained my reasoning clearly on the talk page but you have not explained your reinsertion of the policy violating material. The edit by that editor was a clear violation of wikipedia policy - the user was previously warned against inserted self-promotional material related to Gary Clark but has persisted. I stated this in the talk page and it is clear cut. The only action of that editor in Wikipedia is to edit articles to insert the (mostly non-notable) academic papers of a single academic (almost certainly his own) and has only ever edited wikipedia article on the precise research topic he has published in. He has received warnings in the past over this. Unless you have a valid reason otherwise could you please restore my edit.

always a good idea to check through article talk pages to see if these issues have arisen previously. Acousmana (talk) 18:47, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to

@Bilorv: No worries, and it's Peterson "got away with that" (a 4 star review), not you got away with writing "more negative..." I'm waiting for the really negative reviews to roll in. Acousmana (talk) 17:08, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can I ask why do you hate Peterson so much and why are you trying to push a narrative on Wikipedia? J.Turner99 (talk) 18:05, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@J.Turner99: "Hate"? odd choice of words. "Push a narrative"? is this you attempting to push a narrative by any chance? Acousmana (talk) 18:11, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Do you not hate him? I say push a narrative because your edit history is clear. There is no room for narratives on Wikipedia. "I'm waiting for the really negative reviews to roll in." J.Turner99 (talk) 18:18, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@J.Turner99: this talk page is not a place for you to vent, if you feel you have a legitimate grievance, one that warrants attention, please use an appropriate forum. Acousmana (talk) 18:30, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing to vent about. I am confronting a user who does not appreciate Wikipedia's neutrality policies. J.Turner99 (talk) 19:44, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@J.Turner99: zero interest in your "confrontation," take these personal issues elsewhere please, nothing more to add. Acousmana (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

These are not personal issues, you are ruining the encyclopedia with these edits. You have been policing Peterson's page and related pages for months and Wikipedia is no place for your opinion, and frankly, I feel these actions are sad.

@J.Turner99: sorry you feel sad, recommend you try reading the new Jordan Peterson book, hear it's very helpful. Acousmana (talk) 20:09, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

While I appreciate the recommendation, Wikipedia is no place for opinion; good or bad. I'm suprised you said that, given you hate him. J.Turner99 (talk) 20:30, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah in that case sorry for the misreading on my part then. @

@Bilorv: I agree that Smithereens is an excellent episode with an excellent page. When I refer to opinion, I refer to Acousmana edit history is quite clearly, objectively an effort to push their own narrative on to a neutral encyclopedia. The difference between you and Acousmana, is that your edits are not biased and are not systematic. I welcome scrutiny. J.Turner99 (talk) 22:01, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@J.Turner99: really didn't want to have to spell it out, but since @Bilorv: clearly has more patience, will reiterate his sentiment - it's permissible for editors to have opinions, points of views, biases, as long as they strictly adhere to Wikipedia's content creation guidelines. If you have evidence to support the assertion that contravention of said guidelines has taken place, would urge you to waste no time in presenting it in the appropriate forum, otherwise, would request you refrain from continuing with these allegations here. Acousmana (talk) 22:28, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Literally all your edits on Jordan Pterson and related topics are evidence. The problem is, you put your opinion into the edits, that's why you make the edits. You don't make them to make Wikipedia better, you make them because you want your opinion on the page. J.Turner99 (talk) 22:31, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, J.Turner99, when I look at the edit histories of each of you I simply can't agree with your implicit assumption that Acousmana's bias is coming through in their edits any more than yours is with your edits. You might consider that if multiple people suggest that your editing has a flaw in a particular direction then it is worth treating that as quite weighty constructive criticism and only rejecting it after much consideration if you really cannot picture a scenario in which people would offer that criticism in good faith. It is only when looking through your contributions that I see I've already offered you one piece of advice which you have not chosen to follow (on our most recent discussion at my talk page), and that others are documented in your talk page history and in an instance where you inquired about the CVUA anti-vandal training. You should re-read and re-consider all of this advice, because sometimes other people will show you a pattern in your editing that you would never have noticed yourself (I say this because people have done this for me). Glad to find another Black Mirror fan in the wild though.

I suggest that all of us end the discussion here as there are no actions worthy of escalating to other forums and I hope we've all got the point of each other's opinions on this topic. — Bilorv (talk) 22:38, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bilorv I am not implying that my edits are or are not contructive. Regardless of what they may be, that does not take away from Acousmana edit history.

depreciation note, "There is consensus that Daily Kos should generally be avoided as a source," but this doesn't negate usage where local consensus may support inclusion - if a statement can be shown to be uncontroversial. This is why you should raise this on the article's talk page so editors can discuss this particular instance of usage per BRD. Acousmana (talk) 11:42, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

1) I don't see a consensus to specifically include those sentences. 2) a local consensus can't override community consensus. "but this doesn't negate usage where local consensus may support inclusion - if a statement can be shown to be uncontroversial." Yes, calling a BLP a Nazi is definitely an uncontroversial edit. Who in their right minds would object to such an edit? Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 11:51, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"generally," meaning exception may apply, particularly if it's uncontroversial, reality is no one was "called a Nazi" in that material, the quote, where the word "Nazi" is included, yes, unnecessary, but the statements concerning alt-right, fail to see the issue. Acousmana (talk) 12:05, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Acousmana, I was still watching this page after a conversation I was involved in above so I noticed this and feel I have to comment: you must not imply that users are socks without evidence in the way that you have done here. It looks like this particular user is willing to respond good-naturedly but another person may not respond the same way. If it is not obvious to somebody like me at a glance why a user is likely to be a sock—and I'm hugely confused as to what your accusation is based on—then you should only do so if presenting clear, strong evidence. (Additionally, it seems to me that you are too focused on the letter of the wording of

WP:GUNREL rather than the summary given of the Daily Kos and the discussions in which that summary was established, which I have to say makes it astonishingly difficult to present a serious case for ever using the source for anything.) — Bilorv (talk) 12:33, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply

Friendly suggestion re: AfDs of artists

Hello Acousmana! I noticed that you recently sent several contemporary artist's articles to AfD, but it seems like you did not conduct a

WP:BEFORE

search beforehand. I've been working in the area of visual art and AfD for several years, and so your nominations kind of jumped out, and I wanted to reach out and say hello and offer a friendly suggestion.

The criteria that is normally used to evaluate notability of visual artists can be found here:

Before Nominating Articles for Deletion

, is a key guideline. There are also alternatives to deletion, such as cleaning up and improving the article, adding an appropriate maintenance tag, redirecting or merging.

If an unfamiliar artist's article has been brought up for deletion, usually the first thing I do is search whether their work is in the permanent collections of notable galleries or museums; then I look for reviews, book citations and articles on them; then I look for exhibitions or public artworks. Of course junk, spam or promo should not be kept, and I appreciate that you have been looking out for that. Netherzone (talk) 23:24, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted edit on Resident Advisor

Hi, are you able to clarify your edit. The Resident Advisor page has no references for the website being launched in October 2001 and it's wrong. I used primary sources when I corrected this because the information isn't mentioned in any secondary sources (nor is the October 2001 date).

As I mentioned on the talk page, they have changed the language around when the site was formed several times, but the post on their website announcing the website's launch seems like a fair use of a primary source because it gives a specific date.

I backed up some of the information you reverted with a secondary source where the founders discussed the early days of the website, and I felt it was relevant to expand on how the website had moved from Australia to England and Germany.

I'd like to correct this, and bring back some of what I wrote. In the meantime I'll look for further sources too.--Jimmyjrg (talk) 10:43, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, it's pretty straight forward, we can't editorialize around primary content, structuring a narrative around a post on a website is simply not sufficient. If the primary source made a clear statement on the matter that's one thing, you insinuating something is another, it's

WP:OR. Acousmana 10:48, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply

Hi. I'm not sure how I was insinuating something though. Everything I wrote was backed up as far as I could see. I directly linked to their announcement of the launch, and also linked to a previous post on the site to show the site had been live months before its official launch. Is that what you mean by structuring a narrative? I can just leave out the reference to the site being live prior to its official launch, but it seemed relevant.

Also, all the information about the founders moving overseas to run RA was sourced from the Guardian article and another interview I referenced. I didn't think there was any issue with that. --Jimmyjrg (talk) 23:28, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Saatchi Art

Hi, Acousmana! Hope you're having a good day. I saw you just flagged Saatchi Art for deletion on notability/promotional grounds. I do believe Saatchi Art has a rather significant notability amongst international Art galleries, even though the article itself does really not fit in within our neutrality purposes, and its edit history is questionable. Do you think improving it with good, reliable sources, and also making it not look like a stub could prevent its deletion? I believe English Wikipedia lacks a lot of reliability when it comes to art galleries and I've been trying to fix those issues as to translate them to my main project (Portuguese WP) so as to avoid a gap in knowledge, which is what seems to be going on when most of the articles are promotional.

HYPERPOOP

Legitimately wondering if you've ever heard music by Rustie or Hudson Mohawke. Can't understand your irrational demand to include them on the basis of one article loosely comparing their sound among various other acts. They simply don't and didn't make anything that has been classified as hyperpop by any reputable source. Kkollaps (talk) 17:34, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

laughable, we've seen this before, changing your username hasn't helped, you were presented with evidence you dismissed it, were given more evidence, was also ignored - so you could tendentiously push your POV - same ole same ole, like your asinine "techno doesn't use a four to the floor beat," remember that one? Your ignorance is tedious. Acousmana 18:38, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The username obviously wasn’t changed as a disguise, or else I’d not have kept it similar with the variation on “collapse”—I just thought the original sounded corny. Plenty of techno doesnt have a four-on-the-floor kick (EDIT: see below, or the many Reddit pages like this one), which again leads me to believe you're not especially familiar with the music. You obviously have no further support for this hyperpop claim beyond the Independent piece, which isn’t saying what you want it to say, and the bunch of AG Cook quotes discussing a whole swathe of influences who wouldn’t belong in the lead, except that you seem hell-bent on decentering PC Music from the narrative. Again, I ask you: have you heard HudMo and Rustie? Are you actually familiar with their sound, and its distinction from the auto-tuned avant-pop sound we’re talking about here?

Techno and 4-on-the-floor

Actually, while I have you, I'm very curious as to what you'd label these tracks, seeing as they can't possibly be techno given their departure from 4-on-the-floor. (Sorry MixMag, I guess you're no authority on techno after all!)

• Carl Craig - "Landcruising" OR "Dreamland" OR "One Day Soon"
• Luke Slater - "Origin"
• Model 500 (aka Juan Atkins) - "The Flow" OR "Last Transport"
• Aphex Twin - "Xtal" OR "Isopropanol" OR "Analogue Bubblebath"
• Move D - "Tribute to Mr Fingers"
• Autechre - "Bike" OR "Egg"
• LFO - "Simon from Sydney"
• Plastikman (aka Richie Hawtin) - "Gak"
• The Black Dog - "Tactile"
• Basic Channel - "Lyot"
• Orbital - "Belfast" OR "Chimes"

Let me know! :) Kkollaps (talk) 01:03, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

this is good, demonstrates the issue with your approach to editing Wikipedia, an editor more interested in presenting

WP:RS

to inform editing choices. You keep repeating this mistake.

Another pointless debate about techno, it's origins, musicological definitions etc.? No thank you. Would really love to offer my credentials here, just to close this down, but that would be really sad.

Are there records associated with artists who have produced what people call techno - and which fan discourse insists is techno - that lack kicks on 1/4 notes? Yup. Does 98% of the music produced in the last 35 - that has been called techno - have kicks on 1/4 notes? Yup. Do

We have guidelines, you don't like following them, it's that simple. Acousmana 10:40, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're no less selective than I am, except in these two matters you’re insisting on historical inaccuracies and I’m not. Kkollaps (talk) 13:00, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is not about being right, you still don't get it, according to you the

WP:RS sources we are using are wrong. Nothing more to it. Listen, when you have a published text on the topic, I'll read it, until then please don't harp, it's futile. Acousmana 13:10, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply

Oh boy, YOU bring up the techno thing all over again, then bemoan me re-litigating the point? The fact is you’ve obscured the reality of the genre—extremely iconic tracks and albums in the style don’t conform to your foregrounded first-sentence-of-lead definition—and when forced to admit your shortsideness, you abscond responsibility and defer to a bunch of aloof academic encyclopedia sources whose definition you’ve admitted is not quite accurate! Editorial discretion is a real thing, and if a bunch of sources say a thing that is easily contradicted by other reliable sources, one would expect some thoughtful editorial response to that, like de-emphasis of a possibly narrow description. The simple fact is that the 4/floor pattern does not define techno the same way it defines house or disco, it’s simply a common feature among others. And I would love to hear those credentials! Kkollaps (talk) 13:00, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please don’t try to present yourself as an objective, detached editor, your own talk page is a testament to your contentious editing, and I’ve seen you forced to walk back plenty of edits after other editors pushed back on your weird undue emphases. Kkollaps (talk) 13:00, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, I get it, it’s about presenting admittedly misleading Wikipedia definitions of things because "uhh.. policy." Kkollaps (talk) 13:12, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Good stuff, glad that you are getting your contempt for Wikipedia's editing guidelines off your chest. Looking forward to your forthcoming "What Techno Isn't (It Isn't what It Isn't)" publication, let me know if you need any input. Acousmana 13:34, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Much thanks to your selective retreat into “guidelines” for taking us home! Kkollaps (talk) 13:43, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Address the sources rather than editor presenting them, you consistenly avoid doing so, that's telling. Acousmana 13:47, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have, of course, explicitly addressed (even helpfully categorized!) your sources in the hyperpop row, and presented sources offering clear contradiction of your narrow techno description, but no matter. Perhaps worth capping things off with this favorite guideline of mine, on undue weight and the ambiguity of determining article emphasis based on source corroboration! Especially this deathless line: "Common sense is required to determine what sources to use; this guideline cannot be applied robotically." Kkollaps (talk) 13:50, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

again, let me reiterate, the sources supply the definition, not Wikipedia editors, the quality of the sourcing actually counts for something, what counts for nothing is POV. Acousmana 14:01, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Page numbers

Hi Acousmana! Just to clarify, web pages and eBooks don't need page numbers. With eBooks the URL (and date accessed) is sufficient, while with eBooks we would normally include the location - typically as a chapter number and/or heading, although if the eBook is published in PDF format or something else with fixed pagination than page numbers come back into play. - Bilby (talk) 12:00, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

this is of course applicable is sources are

WP:RS, in this instance a number are dubious and of questionable quality, that needs to be addressed. Acousmana 12:24, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply

Edit Warring on page "Zuby"

Please do not revert again without discussion. I've created a talk page entry where we can discuss!

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Peterson's reply to Twitter block

Restoring the disputed content for a second time absent consensus goes against NOCON and has moved into edit warring. Please self revert else I will take this to the edit warring noticeboard. Springee (talk) 23:04, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is that an ASPERSION or more of a catwalk critique? Newimpartial (talk) 15:33, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

within the context of this overblown comment & you shlapping a notification here, purely idiomatic. Acousmana 15:54, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Someone, especially a woman, who is easily offended or shocked by things the person perceives as vulgar"? Sure, I'll take that for a stroll. Newimpartial (talk) 16:25, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanctions are meant to inform editors that they are working in a topic area that is a metaphorical minefield. Whether the editor chooses to tiptoe or tap dance is entirely up to them—and the choice is at their own peril. —C.Fred (talk) 19:07, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

believe me, versed in how it goes, but with respect to why this was placed here at all, it's really a question of context, and the editor's intent! Acousmana 19:35, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I placed it because (1) you haven't had one in the last year, so I couldn't tell if you were AWARE and (2) you are actively participating in the domain. I place notices whenever I see that both of those conditions are met; I'd rather we had some other Discretionary Sanctions regime, but the one we have works based on everyone receiving these notices. I even gave one to CaptainEek, who !voted in the last change to the scope of GENSEX in ArbCom (but more than a year ago). Newimpartial (talk) 19:39, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

you placed it after indicating "disappointment"(?) with a contribution made, one that was justifiable, so ultimately you were perhaps motivated by an invalid value judgment? seems knee jerky to me. Acousmana 19:55, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I placed it after indicating disappointment, but not because of disappointment. So, no, that was not my motivation. Newimpartial (talk) 19:59, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Female (gender)

Hi Acousmana, I am in the process of trying to edit this article, and your formatting and other edits are resulting in some edit conflicts and other challenges. Per the article creation notice posted at the top of the article, if you could give me some time to continue working on this article, that would be appreciated. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 16:45, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but that's not how it works, it's in main space, if you don't want other editors engaging with the changes, probably best to knock up a draft first? Acousmana 17:08, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please Acousmana, the article creation notice has been placed to allow construction to proceed with minimal disruption. I am trying to work with a variety of sources and incrementally develop the article. I encourage you to use the article Talk page to express concerns instead of continuing to delete sourced content from the article. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 17:16, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
