I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

I noticed you created the article American Idiot (2013 film). Since there are no reliable sources indicating this (IMDB is interesting, but not considered a reliable source since it isn't professionally vetted or edited) and it isn't show to actually be filming yet, it is very likely that the file will go up for deletion. In order to create and keep articles, it is helpful if you insert sources from reliable papers or websites. See WP:RS for the general guidelines.

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the article WFNX has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Thank you. Please desist from adding empty "Songs played" sections to radio station articles. Any listing of songs played would soon swamp the article itself, tell little about the station, and violate WP:NOTDIR. Using a false and misleading edit summary such as "Historical edit" constitutes vandalism. Please stop **now**. Hertz1888 (talk) 23:25, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at WCRB, you may be blocked from editing. Hertz1888 (talk) 00:17, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article Frontin' (Chamillionaire song) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No assertion of nobility, no reason to have it's own article

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

I added pages and sections of pages without bodies to summon information. I hate it when they are deleted. I added the section "songs played" to radio station pages so I could get information on what songs are playing. I mean, I am not asking anyone to serve me happiness on a silver platter, I just don't remember what stations I hear songs from and there is a song I want to listen to where the original version is inappropriate, unlike the radio edit which probably is not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Largerthanlife147 (talk • contribs) 00:54, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

While I certainly understand that, unfortunately that is not what Wikipedia is for. There are, of course, a great many songs on a station's playlist — so much so that to attempt to list them all would, as another editor already noted, take up too much space without actually explaining anything about the station itself. An expanded table of contents alone pushes the main content further down the page dramatically. Plus, we don't list things just for the sake of listing them; is a list of songs played by the local radio station really that significant when discussing the station in general? (And while such a list could be somewhat verified by listening to a certain station long enough (though outside of a station's broadcast area that requires that a station streams its programming online, which not all stations do), songs come and go from stations all the time, particularly on the hit music stations — to say nothing about those times in which a station changes its format and suddenly has a new playlist, or even goes to spoken-word programming and thus ceases to play music altogether outside of short snippets during bumpers…) You'll have to look elsewhere, unfortunately… you can always look at our standard alternatives, though I'm not sure how this fits any of those either. (And I'll be honest, sometimes I myself am interested in which songs are where, so this is hardly a reflection of that — I simply don't feel this fits the encyclopedic scope of the project.) --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 00:30, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In general, one edits Wikipedia to provide information, not to seek (or "summon") it. If you want stations to tell you their playlists, I suggest you contact them at their own websites. In case you did not know, stations' articles on WP are not their homepages or otherwise under their control, and are subject to WP policies and restrictions. Please find constructive ways to contribute to WP, if you can, and refrain from further attempts to solicit "songs played" through this encyclopedia. Hertz1888 (talk) 00:53, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have decided to make a main article on what songs each radio station plays. That should solve the problem of having to make a huge expansion to the page. I started with Magic 106.7.

Sorry, it's inappropriate to use Wikipedia as a free webhost for radio station playlists. Please don't do that. Acroterion (talk) 14:56, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted your added section at WMJX. It is pointless and disruptive to link to such a non-existent article. You have been asked repeatedly to refrain from attempting to include "songs played" listings in Wikipedia. Please stop. Hertz1888 (talk) 16:01, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Let me add my voice to this. Please stop adding "songs played" sections to articles about radio stations, and please stop adding "radio stations played on" sections to articles about songs and albums (as you did to American Idiot). Such directories are not what Wikipedia is for, and would be an indiscriminate collection of information. For example most radio stations' playlists include thousands of songs, and most popular songs are played on hundreds of radio stations worldwide. Lists of station playlists, or of stations that played a particular song, would therefore be irrelevant and unhelpful. If you want to find out what songs a particular station has on their playlist, I suggest you follow the above editors' advice and visit the station's website. If your primary interest is, as indicated above, to find obscenity-free radio edits of your favorite songs, you can probably get those through iTunes or Amazon.com. --IllaZilla (talk) 21:00, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:SPECULATION. AlistairMcMillan (talk) 22:56, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We don't know they are coming soon. They are rumoured or assumed to be coming soon. Wikipedia requires that its information is verifiable. See WP:VERIFIABLE AlistairMcMillan (talk) 14:23, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We really should not be exposing kids to the f-word so Awesome as F*** should be noted as such. Many kids are not even allowed to even read that word. I should not change it, so could someone change the name of the page as such. Green Day noted it as such. Besides, Wikipedia is meant to be appropriate for all ages.

Hi. When you recently edited Nonstop (album), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Shining Star and A Capella (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Could somebody please delete the redirects from Steve Sparrow? Morning Parade is beginning to rise to fame. I want to know more about Morning Parade's members.

On the Lumosity talk page you raised the question of whether their program can help with Asperger's-related difficulties. They offer a free membership which, as far as I can tell, gives you access to all of the training games but with stricter limits than the paid membership, and no access to long-term performance tracking, interpreting your results, etc. If you want to know if this will help you without investing a lot of money first, my suggestion is to get a free membership, try it out for a while, and see if you notice any changes in your real-world functioning (e.g. better concentration at school or work, greater flexibility in social situations, or whatever your specific areas of concern are). This way you'll have a better idea of how much it's helping you in the ways that are actually important to you, and then you can make a more informed decision about it.

(By the way, there's a good reason I emphasized looking for improvements in real-world functioning, even though this might be harder to test - a 2012 article in the Journal of Experimental Psychology said that researchers found relatively consistent improvements in performance on Lumosity games, but no corresponding improvement in scientifically validated tests measuring working memory, attention, or other things that Lumosity claims to improve. So just seeing that you're doing better at the games on the site does not mean that you're getting better at doing things in real life, and it's important to know that distinction)

Hi, I'm Largoplazo. Largerthanlife147, thanks for creating DisabledMate!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This new website may not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. If you can provide references that meet the general notability guidelines or the web-specific guidelines, it will really help.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Hello, Largerthanlife147. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, DisabledMate, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Joe Roe (talk) 02:36, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

to User:Largerthanlife147/DisabledMate as I don't think it's ready for article space yet. You need a bit more than their own site and a press release for referencing, for one. For the rest, there isn't much said. If more can't be said, then it's too early for article space. I've detagged it, and nowikied the category (as cats shouldn't be on in user space).
