File:Information.svg Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at :The Byrds. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Spike Wilbury (talk) 18:34, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

File:Information.svg Hello, I'm Laser brain. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, :The Rolling Stones, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please stop adding unreferenced "Personnel" sections to music articles. Also, see WP:ALBUMSTYLE#Personnel for the proper format: common instruments and vocals are not wikilinked and are separated from the musician's name using an en dash ( – ), not a hyphen ( - ). —Ojorojo (talk) 15:51, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Beach Boys edit

Hi mate, I added a change to the page for The Beach Boys album 'Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!)' which added James Burton as a session player. This change was reverted.

In a recent interview video with James on YouTube by Tony's Backstage Pass, James shows a wall of albums in his house which he played on in his career, and one of these albums shown was the aforementioned Beach Boys album, which is why I made the amendment to the page. I believe this warrants the change being included.

It's also well worth watching the interview as an Elvis fan!

All the best JCTele97 (talk) 00:37, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

:@JCTele97 Hi, thanks for reaching out. I'll definitely have to check out that video!! The reasons I reverted it were a) nothing cited (though I've been guilty of that myself sometimes), b) nothing supporting that (currently, as far as I know) in the work of sessionographer Craig Slowinski and his team, and c) potentially faulty memories (while I trust James: Carol Kaye is notorious for claiming to play on a ton of songs where she's confusing originals and covers -- or just plain making things up. I don't expect James to do that, of course, but I guess I was thinking rather be safe than sorry. Thanks!! EPBeatles (talk) 01:23, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Hidden text

Please don't add paragraphs of hidden text to articles. Hidden text is reserved for brief notes to other editors, or a few other purposes per WP:HIDDEN. The guideline does not allow for big chunks of text copied from other articles. Binksternet (talk) 23:49, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

:Hi @Binksternet, thank you for the info. I had partly put it there because I was having a hard time figuring out what to trim down and what to keep as relevant background information leading up to the album's recording sessions. EPBeatles (talk) 01:33, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

::You can create various work pages based on your username, the standard one being User:EPBeatles/sandbox, but any other subpage can be created such as User:EPBeatles/Elvis. See Wikipedia:User pages. It's easy for you to experiment with Wikipedia in your own userspace. You can try out formatting, you can copy and paste text from other pages. You can copy an entire article then copy some other article text and move it around, or reshape it. Just don't apply categories to your userspace, because your experiments would show up as members of that category. Please hide any categories. And if you copy and paste text from other Wikipedia articles, the expectation is that this effort has your primary attention, and will be blanked by you after you are done experimenting.

:::@Binksternet I knew I had read somewhere something along those lines, but I never really understood what exactly that page meant by how to actually do that. Is it just like creating a new draft article and just titling it or its URL to make a second work page? Thank you for all of the info. EPBeatles (talk) 22:38, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
