Edit summaries

Hi there. When

editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

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.

Though I do not believe you are guilty of any malfeasance, a failure to supply an edit summary is often a feature of vandalism and many editors will revert an edit without a summary without bothering to check whether the edit was, in fact, a

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Ian Botham may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s and 2 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another.

thanks for your reply, It is a shame that one of the most decorated writers in the UK would have problems having to verify something that could be done with a simple google search, i don't even know how to link the sources to each other however someone connects the song titles to Wayne as he did actually write all of the songs mentioned. just to confirm the one direction song does mention Wayne please see link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best_Song_Ever_%28song%29 i see no difference between Wayne's page and another writer for example The Dream https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The-Dream_discography please could you elaborate on why his discography should be deleted and not the dreams? http://www.allmusic.com/artist/wayne-hector-mn0000245410/credits would this count as an verifiable source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hardzonebass9 (talk • contribs) 16:02, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Dream's discography that you linked to has 33 references, detailed and specific info, several categories and a good layout. It is also a dedicated page for the discography for a highly established artist. You would not get that level of detail in an artist's personal wikipedia page. And to say something is verifiable because it's easily searchable on google and he's 'one of the most decorated writers in the UK' is wrong and is not how references are put on wikipedia. Where would you draw the line? I've never heard of this guy before. I don't see any evidence for him being decorated - there's no mention at all of his military service on his page or the medals he won for valour. For this reason, everything - every single fact - from the most glaringly obvious, to the most obscure - has to be referenced. I have written more info about the issues of the article on your/the article's talk pages.Rayman60 (talk) 15:27, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there,

I can see that you've removed the list of "Top 10" compositions I'd been editing on the article on Steve Mac. I've got a couple of points about the comment you put in your edit. Firstly, surely the list doesn't need to be referenced because they are links to other Wikipedia articles (that are referenced)? Secondly you say lists like this don't normally appear in Wikipedia in this style. I'm not so sure about that, as I only started this list because I've seen lists like this in Wikipedia (e.g. Cathy Dennis, User, or slightly extreme like Gary Barlow discography). Thirdly you say the edits may have been written someone close to the subject. I can absoloutely confirm that I have nothing to do with Steve Mac whatsoever. In fact, I only heard about him a just before I started editing the article. I can't ever remember now how that happened! I think that earlier edits may have been from someone to do with him, but it's definietly not me! The main reason I started adding this list was that i was troubled by the existing reference to the number of No 1s etc that is sourced from The Independent newspaper saying he'd written 23 No1 hit singles. Have a look at the Talk page. I was amazed by his success and that I'd never heard of him. It was then I got a bit troubled by the statistic and what it really means. I should add that I'm obsessed by references in Wikipedia and I don't think I ever add content that isn't referenced. By starting the list of songs that he has written (or co-written as usually seems to be the case), I was hoping to work out what the true figure of No 1s etc - by using Wikipedia itself. By starting the list, I was hoping that it might encourage other people to add to it. If his song credits are confirmed, then I would suggest that he is a very notable person in UK popular music history, albeit not very well known. Anyway, I hope you take this in the right way, it fills me with dread that some sort of edit conflict might arise. if you look back at my contribution history you'll see I spend most of Wikipedia time in recent time adding references to very boring articles on buildings under construction. I'm usually the first person who is reaching for the Citated Needed tag in Wikipedia. So, after all that explanation I'm not going to just undo your revision just like that. Let me know what you think about the above. Seaweed (talk) 13:33, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Sorry to have tarred you with the COI brush. I normally check the editor's history but overlooked it this time. It's clear that you are a longstanding and established editor, I made an error.
I appreciate your desire to create a list that further expands on the work and achievements of the subject. The problem that is often faced on Wiki by music producers is that they hijack articles for their own self-promotion and often use it as a long and extended CV with some highly un-encyclopaedic lists, formats and self-promoting material. You only need to look through my history to see the frustrations faced when trying to tackle this and maintain some sort of integrity to producers' profiles (which explains why I was a little trigger happy with the reverts). (Just look at the joke of a history of edits of Wayne Hector, a closely related article.)
I still maintain that the list is not ideal due to certain factors - the subject is just a contributor, something that is a relatively loose and somewhat abused term when producers pad out their CVs (if someone made tea for the guy who tuned the violin on the b-side of some singer's latest release, they'll claim joint-credit for any grammy, tony, oscar or emmy that artist wins in the forthcoming decade). Co-writer is a VERY LIBERAL and undefined term. it's also quite UK/Ireland centric which is not advisable. I know you gave Cathy Dennis as an example - I'm not a fan of the UK only list on that page but the other box further down seems to follow standard Wiki formatting for music credits. Surely this person's work wasn't just confined to our fine shores? If he produced, wrote etc on a variety of songs, I would've expected to see a box such as this for Spike Lee. I can't find the guidance at the moment, but I'm sure I came across something once about what sort of lists were suitable and acceptable, and what were merely vanity puff pieces that should be removed.
I also didn't see any references, which is a personal bug-bear as I would expect that any person who has had such accolades and success as purported to in this article would also have their song-writing credits for each individual song/album well referenced throughout the internet. Not seeing these references, I assumed they were either not officially recognised credits (e.g. his name didn't appear on the inlay sleeve) or that they were just copied and pasted lazily from the producer's personal list by an intern in his studio - which is why I reverted without investigating.
As far as I'm concerned, I was only there to protect the article from abuse by the subject's closely related parties. You seem to know what you're doing and are clearly not there to abuse the article. Carry on as you see fit, revert my reverts and continue with your additions. :-) Rayman60 (talk) 14:10, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am however going to take the liberty of swinging a giant axe through the intro of the article. It looks like it's been copied and pasted from the desk of his PR agent, and has defied the neutral edits I made a while back.
I will continue to monitor the article to protect it from COIs but won't interfere with your edits.

Thanks for your reply, it's appreciated. I know what you mean about music industry articles in Wikipedia. I suppose there is a real incentive by record companies to edit articles. I originally built that list of Steve Mac's singles in my Sandbox, so I might carry on with that before putting it back on the main page. Seaweed (talk) 15:17, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rayman, could you further explain the reversion of that page? If there have been issues in the past then I understand that those issues may needed have to be resolved then - and also that you may have thought this new material was merely a repeat of older information. But that isn't the case - my recent additions and references were not connected to any past changes and I think they stand independently on their sources. Many thanks.

Hi, I am very grateful for the work you do on removing links to deleted pages.

Please could I ask you to take it a little further? Where it's a matter of unlinking e.g. a non-notable actor's name, it's fine to just remove the linking brackets. However, where there was an entry under "See also", in a navigation template (e.g.[1]), in a list or on a disambiguation page, it would usually be more helpful to remove the entry altogether. Thanks in advance! – Fayenatic London 13:14, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rayman60. I hope this is the correct way to message you. Sorry if it is not. You proposed deletion of my first article (Randall Hicks) and I have worked to add more references. I think even before I made the changes, however, it was sourced much better than most other author pages I've read, where almost everything comes from their own website. And for his worthiness for an article, I think that is more than evident in the article as both a lawyer and writer. I actually tried several authors' names to find one to create but they were taken so I was so happy to create the page for him. As I just put in the comments for the proposed deletion, I first checked David Rosenfelt, Tim Dorsey and Barbara Seranella, all authors I like a lot, and they already had pages. And btw, they all had no more than one reference or indepenent source, so I'm not sure why those, and I'm sure countless like them, are fine and my first foray into Wikipedia article creation was met with such criticism. I don't remember the exact words, but it was making it sound like some puff piece. It is very factual. I can't help it if he's accomplished a lot. And there was something about a significant contributor being a close friend or something like that. That would be a concern if the article was about some nobody. Not the case here, and specifically, my only connection is seeing him speak once and standing in line to have him sign a book. He was charming so of course I became a fan. I can't see the fact I had that minimal contact forbids me to write an article. Aren't we only inclined to input information into a person or subject we like? That's why I was going to create one for the three writers above, as I've attended their book signings and got that little connection that kept me interested in them. I hope you will change your mind and not fight my first article and stop the process you seem to have begun. I don't know the process. And if there was some faux pas by me in some of the text, although I just included the same type of info I see for other author's pages, I assume you'd just delete or alter it.

Thanks for your comments. I'll take another look at the article, and any others that you want to mention specifically. However my initial reaction is that giving a separate citation for each individual piece of statistical information would be excessive, given that all the information is set out in the three references given in the References section at the end of the article. Ten inline citations have also been provided for information that isn't given in those references. I suspect that your comments would also apply to many other cricket biographies so, if you are still unhappy, it might be a good idea for you to raise the matter on the

thanks for the response. I'll look at the sources in-depth and see if it is all-encompassing; will go back and remove cn tags if appropriate. It could be to do with my unfamiliarity with sports stats and biographies and perhaps this is general practice for these profiles. I'm more used to creatives and politicians etc where sources and statements are more diverse so usually expect a ton of different sources backing up ideally every statement! Rayman60 (talk) 13:28, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since I haven't heard back from you, I've gone through the article and provided additional in-line citations. Where two or more successive sentences in a paragraph are sourced from the same place, I've assumed that a single citation following the last of them is sufficient. Please let me know if you're still not happy. (Rather annoyingly, within the last week the main website that I used for references has gone behind a paywall.

Although most stats rely on that one statement, at least it does look as though they are taken from a reliable source and in the future, if some bits were removed or a different reference added, other stats that relied on that ref would now not appear reference less. thanks for your efforts, it looks good now.

Hi Rayman60. There is an AfD discussion underway for Jeremy Gutsche. Since you had identified the article creator as having a potential conflict of interest, you may wish to participate in the discussion. --Rhombus (talk) 16:39, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I see you added a COI template to Bluebeam Software, Inc. earlier this month, but I don't see any reasoning behind it, so I have removed. I welcome your clarification on the Talk page. Walkersam (talk) 22:42, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, have added my comment to the talk page. Rayman60 (talk) 14:07, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rayman60!

I have just noticed your last edits to the article of Ardingly College, and would like to thank you for your very positive contribution. Having said this, I slightly disagree with the edit "clarifying, otherwise reader will have to go hunting for the meaning of this statement". Although I can see where you are coming from, it is already stated that this consideration is "in the British sense of the term". Furthermore, it builds a crucial link between Ardingly's article (which is meant to be a very prominent example of a public school) and the actual public school wiki article. This way, readers will most likely end up reading the latter as well, and will provide them with a clearer image of schooling in the UK, which is completely different to any other country's.

If you agree with the afore mentioned, I think it would be a good idea to remove the clarification in brackets: "(i.e. fee-paying)".

Other than that, thank you very much for your edits which are very much appreciated.

Kind regards, --CreiterAdam45z (talk) 10:08, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, all your activity suggests a conflict of interest or some sort of promotional nature. Additionally, the page was poorly sourced and looked like a fansite, not an objective neutral point of view encyclopaedic article. I suggest you initially check the

WP:RS to see where the major flaws are. Rayman60 (talk) 00:53, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply

Dear Rayman60 I'm writing about the warning templates posted on my wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Papineau I guess they are there because I did some updating on the page a while ago. I'm really sorry -- I didn't realise that I wasn't supposed to do this. I only intended to update some factual issues. I'd be grateful if you could let me know what should be done to improve the article in order for the template to be removed. Much thanks for taking an interest and helping to improve Wikipedia. Best wishes David — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidpapineau (talk • contribs) 12:10, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, yes they were added because you had edited the article repeatedly for over a decade. As per the

WP:COI

policy, this is discouraged. You should only really interfere with an article about yourself or something where you have a significant connection if there is an urgent need (e.g. erroneous and damaging). Any other edits should really be left to independent editors, however should you wish to make a factual correction (of the non-urgent kind), you can request it via the talk page. However please do observe the requirement for the page to remain impartial, objective and independent as the integrity of the entire project relies on it not becoming a den of self-serving vanity pages. This does not restrict you from writing on your areas of expertise (as long as you follow the other guidelines on neutrality and reliable sourcing for example), so should you wish to contribute on articles related to your field, you are free to do so.

I have tweaked your page and removed the tags as your activity was not too severe. Do let me know if there's anything that requires clarification. Rayman60 (talk) 17:34, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Could you kindly explain what issues you found with the

Because a declaration had been made on the talk page, I thought the convention was to add a tag to the main page too. Rayman60 (talk) 13:31, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Rayman60: I think the tag is only added when the content of the article is undoubtedly biased and needs a more neutral point of view, which isn't the case in this instance. No such concerns were raised when the draft was reviewed and published. Of course I can't remove the tag myself as I created the draft, so if you could do so that would be appreciated.

Hello Rayman, I noticed that you disagree with my assessment on the article on the movie Threads being incomplete. The reception section is a bit short when compared to the rest of the article and the info on it that is out there. An article needs to be properly balanced and that section doesn't feel like it's expanded to its fullest extent, thus the expand section tag.--Paleface Jack (talk) 20:56, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the expansion tag on the reception section no doubt, but do you think this justifies the 'incomplete' tag on the whole article? Rayman60 (talk) 13:30, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rayman60,

As suggested I am here to publicly query a couple of edits made on this page. I am writing in my capacity as Jed Mercurio's agent, in the hope that we can sort out this page so it is acceptable to you as an editor.

I'd love to hear what needs to be 'cleaned up' about the awards section which has now been removed. I think your opinion is that these awards ought not to be listed here when they are for the show Jed created (ie Best Series) rather than individual writer awards. However, many of these awards that have now been removed by yourself were for him as an individual - eg the Broadcasting Press Guild Writer's Award, RTS, Writers' Guild and BAFTA best writer nominations. In addition the citation of many of the awards includes Jed as one of the recipients. You suggested that given my working relationship to the subject of the page, that these edits must be input by another. Might I ask that you re instate the awards you are comfortable to include on the page?

Further, I would be happy to hear what needs to be edited/ have you edit what is necessary to satisfy your belief that the page does not have a 'neutral point of view' per the warning now added.

Look forward to hearing from you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JStewart13 (talk • contribs) 17:59, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you removing wikilinks to award-winning people? According to

"In general, a red link should be allowed to remain in an article if it links to a title that could plausibly sustain an article, but for which there is no existing article, or article section, under any name. Do not remove red links unless you are certain that Wikipedia should not have an article on the subject"

Most award winners could plausibly be notable, the red links are there for a reason. -- GreenC 13:45, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are making upwards of 15 edits / minute sustained which is actually faster than my fully-approved bot-flagged account. Do you have bot permissions for sustained high rate editing? Particularly when the edits are context sensitive requiring judgement if the person might conceivably have a Wikipedia article in the future. -- GreenC 14:01, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rayman60 - Have seen that you keep pulling down the Discography list for Fraser T Smith - can you give an explanation as to why this is please, as everything on there can be verified. Thanks and look forward to your reply Inca28a (talk) 09:54, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This has already been discussed at length in the appropriate places. What's your connection with Fraser T Smith? Why would this be of concern to a brand new editor as their only edit? ....unless you have an inherent connection and vested interest, in which case you should not be interfering with the article. Rayman60 (talk) 11:24, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can you tell me where this has been discussed at length? I am just someone that follows Fraser’s career and I want Fraser’s Wikipedia Page, as I'm sure anyone else who uses Wikipedia, to have the facts of his work displayed accurately. Inca28a (talk) 10:11, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Rayman, I'm just looking to clean up and update the Wiki page. Here is a draft of what I've come up with

David Taylor, better known as Switch, is a Grammy-nominated record producer, songwriter, DJ, and remixer. He is best known for his work with Beyonce, M.I.A. and Major Lazer, of which he was a founding member of. He was nominated at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards in the Song of the Year category for ‘Paper Planes’ by M.I.A which he co-produced with Diplo. Other artists he has produced include Christina Aguilera, Chaka Khan, Santigold, and Brandy among many others. Switch is the founder and owner of the independent record label ‘Diary Records’, which began in 2018 and has released an album with Chaka Khan to date.

He has released various singles under his own name and is well known for remixing and producing for many major artists.

In 2006 Switch founded the independent dance label ‘Dubsided’ where he released records under his own name, as well as records by Duke Dumont, The Count & Sinden, and Crookers. He is credited with creating the fidget house genre, and with coining the name.

Most notably Switch has worked extensively with fellow British artist M.I.A. co-producing tracks on her albums Arular, Kala and Mathangi. He traveled to work with M.I.A. in A. R. Rahman's Panchathan Record Inn and AM Studios and other locations such as Kodambakkam, Chennai and Trinidad and Tobago. He says "When you go somewhere like India, and especially Jamaica, it puts you in a different train of thought, outside your usual working conditions. They use music as their voice; they use it for politics, for religion. So, I think for people that are struggling, they can use it to vent frustrations or to celebrate.”

He has also produced tracks for artists like Christina Aguilera, Santigold, Amanda Blank, Brandy, Nicola Roberts and Beyoncé. In 2009 Switch collaborated with fellow producer Diplo (whom he met through artist M.I.A.) to create the album Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do under the name Major Lazer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daveswitchtaylor (talk • contribs) 19:47, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I can compare that to what's there and see what from here can go in. It will need sources. If you know any links to decent sites (e.g. BBC rather than a blog), post them here as part of it. I'll work on it in the next week or so. Rayman60 (talk) 20:06, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Ray, can we also please add information about Diary records? Particularly Chaka Khan's most recent album Hello Happiness, which was the first release of Diary records.

Hey Rayman, just following up again. We really need this page cleaned up as it is the first landing page people will be finding when they search for Dave. We need this to be as up to date as possible. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daveswitchtaylor (talk • contribs) 17:33, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello user:Rayman60, I noticed that last July you left a message on the talk page of Anne Boden regarding paid editors adding PR to the page and removing the tags. Well, you'll be interested to know that last week User:Llemiles added a load of promotional content and removed the COI tag fro the page.
