Hey, nice edit to the Hendrix article. Two things you should be aware of when you make great edits like this. One, briefly describe the changes you have made in the edit summary before you click save. That helps other editors see what you are doing in the recent changes and watchlists. Two, get in the habit of using sources. You write, "but Eddie Kramer the engineer on the session says Hendrix bought a secondhand recorder from a street vendor and used this", but the reader has no way of checking up on this. Where did you hear it? If it's a liner note, interview, or whatever, say so and I'll help you add the right reference. Thanks, and keep up the good work. —Viriditas | Talk 02:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for adding the source. Please note that the source you added has the wrong title and author, and will require a page number for verification. The actual title is Hendrix: Setting the Record Straight, and the correct author is John McDermott. The contributing author is Kramer. Also, please get in the habit of filling out edit summaries. Thanks. I've provided instructions for edit summaries below. Happy editing. —Viriditas | Talk 08:57, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Here's the book cte you want to add to the article. All you need to do is add page number(s):
<ref>{{cite book
| last = McDermott
| first = John
| coauthors = Eddie Kramer
| title = Hendrix: Setting the Record Straight
| publisher = Warner Books
| date = 1992
| pages =
| isbn = 0446394319
}}</ref>
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field - please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. —Viriditas | Talk 08:57, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
References in Jimi Hendrix article
The way you have inserted references to four books like here is not adequate. Please read
WP:CITE on how to cite properly. You are essentially just mentioning four book titles again and again over and over. Readers should instead be able to see where particular information can be verified; e.g., though page numbers in specific references. The way you have done it is simply not detailed enough.--HJensen, talk 14:36, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply

Hi friend
Welcome to Wikipedia, it might be a good idea to read
Just a small note about the ongoing discussion about your edits in the Jimi Hendrix article: I've made all your new sections subsections of the discussion, so please use three equal signs ("===subheading title==") on each side for new sections; that way they'll fall under the next level heading and make things easier to follow there. Thanks. +ILike2BeAnonymous (talk) 22:40, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Edits to Hendrix article
Hi. I haven't read your new edits yet, but I noticed that you inserted a lot of <wiki>[citation needed]</nowike> tags. That is fine, but I don't think you need to have square brackets around the text you think need to be cited. It makes the article appear even more of a draft that it does already. Also, you may want to use the sandbox when editing (or copy the text into another editor). This will enable you to come off with fewer, but larger edits (remember edit summaries) thereby making it easier for other editors to assess what you have been doing (compared with now where you make numerous small edits within short time). Happy editing --HJensen, talk 21:17, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi der mr Jensen the square brackets are there to clearly point out extremely contentious and often unproveable assertion in this article (regardless if they are supplied with references)that are embedded in an otherwise acceptable text. Basically someone needs take most of this out as it brings the article into extreme disrepute and propagates myths and mis-information that has unfortunately, through constant repetition become regarded as fact, despite (relatively) recently researched and publicised, more accurate information. I have no desire to puff up this article, most of my earlier large edits were just my way of explaining the various mistakes in the previous article (not knowing how else to communicate at the time) hence the frequent "or"s a device to juxtapose the less hyperbolic or more rational explanations and sometimes the actual facts to some wild speculation and/or hyperbole. I naively asumed that the many Hendrixc fans at wiki would rush to check out the recent info and when they found it to be verifiable would incorporate said entries into the article. As this suff is quoted (for some unknown reason) on the BBC site etc. it should be a priorty edit.
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to
talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when.

In this one case - "Christ"gau, a different site -, I may have strayed into uncited personal opinion in passing (two words only!).
How about instead of the wilfully exaggerated "Your edits" and "have been" you restricted yourself to "Your edit" and "has been". If adding two words of possible personal opinion (I think I could come up with a few cites to support this definition) to an article in wikipedia can be condemned as "vandalism" and you apply this universally across wikipedia you have a very busy time ahead of you - eternity springs to mind.Jameselmo (talk) 02:02, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
All of my edits are well researched and usually come with pertinent 'Refs'/'cites' from well respected publications on Hendrix, frequently from the man himself or those close to him,(all will eventually and "soon" compared with stuff that's been here forever), I have included many recently and far more than appear to have been to many of the innacurate or misleading statements still left) NOT from record companies slavishly puffed handouts, uneducated opinion and sensational, lazy rock magazine fluff, they are only corrections to the blatant vandalism, plagiarism, hyperbole, inaccuracy, trivial nonsense etc. etc. in the Jimi Hendrix article, in no-way can this be construed as "vandalism".

Hi. Your recent edits to Jimi Hendrix appear somewhat confused. You accidentally mess up the style (in terms of inline citations), and make up new templates as you go along ("cite LP").

You threatened me,that is a personal attack. You stay cool, you read some.

I concur with Ward on this one. You have made contributions to the Hendrix article, but now and then you fill it up with lots of unsourced material. This is not the way to build an article. You may know the things you write are correct (I believe that you are a very knowledgable fan of Hendrix), but things must be properly sourced.

Vandalism detected
Please see Talk:Alexandra Kollontai#What the heck does "served himself lavishly" mean?. Wilful vandalism is not tolerated on Wikipedia. I see you've had some issues (above), including some warnings about being blocked. Don't make it worse for yourself by engaging in these sorts of childish and destructive practices. This one was done on 1 July, six days after the last block warning, so you really don't seem to taking any of this seriously.

Definition of edit warring
Edit warring is a behavior, typically exemplified by the use of confrontational edits to win a content dispute. It is different than a bold, revert, discuss (BRD) cycle. Reverting vandalism and banned users is not edit warring; at the same time, content disputes, even egregious point of view edits and other good-faith changes do not constitute vandalism.Jameselmo (talk) 19:30, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
gersracing is quite welcome to put up his claim - if he can put up a good source and reference, and doesn't remove the properly sourced and referenced material and rfrains from blatant POV. Getting himself a talk page would be a start.Jameselmo (talk) 20:02, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Please in future disengage when you note that a revert war has begun. I seriously considered blocking you as well, but a caution with a little friendly advice about alternative problem solving methods may work just as well. For simple vandalism (which was not the case here), we have Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. If no other editors are active at the relevant talkpage, consider asking for additional input at a relevant collaborative WikiProject listed there; in this case, Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums might be of help. There are also several general purpose noticeboards, including one dedicated to issues of sourcing (Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard), and another for issues of neutral presentation (Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard). Also, for future reference "diffs" are explained at Help:Diff; it is just a link to the URL in the history showing the difference between revisions. - 2/0 (cont.) 05:42, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Jameselmo, I just saw what you did to the article in February. Most of your edits were already reverted, and I just reverted the lot of them. I wanted to note that especially this edit and this edit are unacceptable: "blatant POV"? nonsense, it's verified in printed sources. You seem to have a dislike for Miles Davis and Alan Douglas--keep it to yourself, do not insert it into our articles. Finally, your revisions to the text removed a source and introduced unencyclopedic and highly ungrammatical language (note the many run-on sentences). Please be more careful in the future. Thank you.
