An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please make sure to include an edit summary with every edit. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history.

The edit summary appears in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list and
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! --

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Percivl (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

It seems that out of nowhere I received a CheckUser block today that expires in 3 months. This is surely mistaken because I've never vandalized Wikipedia and have done nothing but help it for the 6 years I've been here. I'm a little confused because it says that my IP has been used to disrupt Wikipedia, yet I am the only one who uses this IP address and there are currently no contributions under the IP address itself.

Accept reason:

Not the intended target of the block; IPBE granted. Sorry for the inconvenience Percivl! Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:28, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes ISPs change the IPs they issue - or if you're on a wireless router that isn't securely passworded someone could use your IP. (Worth checking out...) We'll need to know what the message says as there's no sign of a direct block. Peridon (talk) 18:01, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My IP address is securely passworded. Here is a screenshot of the block message for you. Percivl (talk) 21:46, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'll ping the blocking admin. @Ponyo:

As this is a big ol rangeblock we need to consider an ipblock exemption but can't do that without the checkuser tool. Need to wait for

• Percivl, I've granted your account
  an IP block exemption. Up until December 1 you were editing from a different IP range and that is why the block didn't affect you. As all accounts (over 20) in the blocked range are socks of a disruptive editor, I have applied the exemption to your account as opposed to reducing the range block. As long as you're logged in to your account, you shouldn't encounter any further issues. --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:26, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

• On the
  Grand Theft Auto IV soundtrack page, your edit caused a broken reference name (help). (Fix | Ask for help

I declined both your speedies on the flowing hair Stella redirects before I noticed that you appear to have created them. If you were looking for references for a person called Stella (which is what your request appeared to say), then you won't find them. It's the head of Liberty on the coin, and Stella comes from the star on the reverse of the coin. The redirects look OK to me, but your reason for deletion wasn't. 'Lack of references' isn't a valid reason at speedy. If you really want to get rid of them, you can use db-G7. I think they're OK and as redirects they don't need referencing anyway. 'Flowing' hair is mentioned in the description, and that's enough. Peridon (talk) 22:35, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on List of downloadable songs for Rocksmith requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Bri (talk) 20:41, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shhhh! Charlotte thinks she is an associated act. Randy Kryn (talk) 18:19, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, no kidding aside, Charlotte has a pretty good youtube channel and 'Titanic Sinclair' is creating an interesting "associated act" with it. So there seems to be method to the madness, and a creative musical project continues. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:16, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As I told an IP editor on

Hello Percivl. You recently edited the Life's What You Make It (Talk Talk song) article. Specifically, you enclosed two song titles in quote marks. The song titles happened to be part of a quotation. Consequently, I undid your changes, explaining in the edit summary that, rightly or wrongly, the source for the quotation itself didn't use quote marks.

Although not stated explicitly, Wikipedia's guidelines in fact imply that song titles, when contained within quotations, should be enclosed in quote marks. (See

Please refrain from adding, removing or changing genres, as you did to Breakfast at Tiffany's (song), without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first.
