I see you're going through those annoying mass entries regarding the Universal fire. When I did a similar thing, several people strongly requested me to use a more informative edit summary (as opposed to "fix stupid mass entry" or whatever it was I said.) Going forward, you might want to include a link to a mention of why you're just removing them.

The [[leek]] is one of the national emblems of Wales, worn along with the [[Narcissus (plant)|daffodil]] (in Welsh, the daffodil is known as "Peter's leek", ''Cenhinen Bedr'') on [[St. David's Day]]. According to one [[Welsh mythology|legend]], [[Cadwaladr|King Cadwaladr]] of [[Kingdom of Gwynedd|Gwynedd]] ordered his soldiers to identify themselves by wearing the vegetable on their helmets in an ancient battle against the [[Saxons]] that took place in a leek field.<ref>{{cite book |

Don Cartagena - Entertainment Weekly Review
I was updating a review 4 the Fat Joe album from a magazine article into a WEB article. I was making it a WEB reference.47.17.47.199 (talk) 16:00, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
- We talked extensively about your URL updates. You must stop removing the name of the magazine from the citation. If you remove the name of the magazine while you update the URL, you are not improving the citation. I will continue to revert your edits if you continue to remove the name of the magazine.

Trying to reach consensus
Would love your thoughts on this thread concerning track numbering for LPs! —The Keymaster (talk) 07:04, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
January 2023
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theenglishman124 (talk • contribs) 19:45, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for making a report about 200.88.93.75 (talk · contribs · block log) at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. WP:AIV is for blatant vandalism. Edit warring should be reported to WP:ANEW. Someone who's wrong on the internet (talk) 09:06, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
Ugh...
...the track list vandal is back again! One of the pages edited was the article for Lifehouse's self-titled album. This article is one of the vandal's main targets, switching the track numbers for "Blind" and "You and Me". Thankfully, I've already reverted this edit. MusicDude2020 (talk) 05:17, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
- Yucky behavior. I don't see a clear preventive path; I guess we just keep playing whack-a-mole. Binksternet (talk) 17:10, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
- I've added that article to my watch. Another particular target for this vandal is the article for Gavin DeGraw's first album "Chariot", in which they also mess around with the track listing. I've also added that one to my watch MusicDude2020. (talk) 04:56, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
More eyes
Just a heads up. Could help keep an eye on these two users.
- Nikeja (talk · contribs · count) - (My edit summary) - Mass removal of rock genre in spanish songs, no discussion, no consensus to do so.
- Bob3458 (talk · contribs · count) - This user is adding Category:American male comedians, Category:American female comedians on articles of people who are funny, but don't or has ever done stand-up.
An extra set of eyes will help. Thanx, - FlightTime (open channel) 20:47, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Dalida
Hello Binksternet;
The poll on Dalida's talk page wasn't about her being an Egyptian-born, which is a well known fact. It was about whether her Italian nationality should be included or not.
Also sources quoted within the talk page further prove how her Egyptian link was important to her, it wasn't just a country "she was born in", she was raised there too and called it her homeland. The intro seems bit misleading.
{ "She was Franco-Italian, born and raised in Egypt." Georges-Claude Guilbert (2018). Gay Icons: The (Mostly) Female Entertainers Gay Men Love, page 52.
"Egypt-born Italian singer and actress who acquired French citizenship upon marriage in 1961." Juliana Tzvetkova (2017). Pop Culture in Europe, page 26.
"A cosmopolitan artist, born in Egypt into an Italian family, Dalida built a career in France and internationally." Evelin Lindner (2010). Gender, Humiliation, and Global Security, page 161.
"Egypto-Italian pop icon Dalida". Sofian Merabet (2014). Queer Beirut, page 13.
"Egyptian/French popular singer. Dalida was born in Cairo of Italian parents..." Jennifer Uglow (1991). Macmillan Dictionary of Women's Biography, page 145.

And here's an official trailer of a French documentary done by Paris Match, also featuring her own brother:

Fragrant Peony (talk) 07:03, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
Hello Binksternet; I am tagging you for the second time since you ignored my first message, and asking you to please explain your content removal as your edit summary was inaccurate. Thank you. Fragrant Peony (talk) 07:56, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
- The article has a standing consensus formed back in May 2022 by discussion on the talk page. The consensus dealt with this exact issue. You have not changed the standing consensus, not even by adding a couple of new links. Binksternet (talk) 19:21, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
Clarification Requested
Binksternet - I made some changes to the Wiki Entry for Strictly Rhythm which you then immediately removed whilst I was listing my references. Please advise on why you reverted. Strictly USA - IT Dept. 24.191.199.253 (talk) 19:01, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
- The tone of this addition was far too promotional. See WP:TONE. I also removed the non-notable artists from the list, following the guideline WP:LISTPEOPLE. You cited discogs.com many times, but there was no listed reference. In any case, discogs.com is unreliable and cannot be used. It fails WP:USERG because anybody can log on and change the information. Binksternet (talk) 19:11, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for the prompt response. I'll double check the artists you removed but I'm pretty sure their tracks are everyday recognizable. Lastly, could you please elaborate on why you took the updates to the history section down? 24.191.199.253 (talk) 20:43, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
Wild Thing
The recording date was already in the article
you edited it without note or source. Tillywilly17 (talk) 00:22, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- The previous recording date was wrong and unreferenced. Binksternet (talk) 00:35, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
Here’s why
I had put Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana as the main recording artists on Hannah Montana: The Movie (soundtrack) because of the way the current soundtracks in the series are written. They all specifically write when Hannah Montana sings and is the main artist. Hannah songs 7 songs on the soundtrack and Miley does too if you count The Climb (Pop version). I’m not leaving this message to ask you to ask you to change it back. I kind of just want to hear your opinion on that topic since you seem to be a longtime high standing wikipedia user who would have a well-rounded opinion on it. 47.223.46.42 (talk) 05:02, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
I guess you don’t check your talk messages ever, it’s okay. I forget to check my notifications sometimes too. All good, man 😂 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.223.46.42 (talk) 07:20, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
- The relevant guideline is Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction, which instructs us to establish the real world as a frame of reference, first naming real people rather than the fictional characters they portray. Binksternet (talk) 15:18, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Please, stop reverting my edit in that article. I'm a veteran user editing as anonymous and I know about the rules. You're creating your own rule to deem the addition of the album in which the song is originally included as unimportant, while there is nothing in the rules concerning that or you're not pointing it out. I've already provided a reliable source from the official website of the song's original author, so I don't see anything that prevents me from adding that information. 170.244.28.2 (talk) 08:53, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- You are adding unimportant trivia to the first paragraph. Stop it. Binksternet (talk) 12:51, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- Wikipedia greatly prefers WP:SECONDARY sources. The writer's own website is a primary source.
- The first paragraph is for the very most important facts. An album that didn't sell well is not important. Binksternet (talk) 12:55, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- Bruh, this project has created so many non-sense rules that I will eventually give up contributing here and pretend it doesn't exist at all. 170.244.28.2 (talk) 17:25, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- Fine, do whatever you wish. But every encyclopedia in the world prunes out the unimportant stuff to leave only the core material. Binksternet (talk) 17:29, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- I'll simply let the articles related to music be messed up and not bother to fix errors I find, that way I won't waste my time with edits that will eventually get reverted. 170.244.28.2 (talk) 23:12, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
- @170.244.28.2 Heya, just a random patroller here. I don't believe the album should necessarily be in the first paragraph, merely because it doesn't seem like it fits, especially in the suggested format. Regarding using the primary source, I think that the artist pretty much knows in which albums did he release his songs, so I don't think WP:SECONDARY is justified here. Anyway, the album should be placed in the infobox though. Just my two cents. Bar Harel (talk) 23:33, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
- Luckily for us, WP:PRIMARY even states that exact case to be honest:
Bar Harel (talk) 23:37, 8 February 2023 (UTC)For example, an article about a musician may cite discographies and track listings published by the record label
- Fine. Place it in the infobox then, but not in the introductory paragraph. 170.244.28.2 (talk) 23:57, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
- I don't understand anything about records, but that makes sense. I've added it in to the infobox. @Binksternet, after all it is your field, what do you think? Moreover, when a single is later released as an album, should the album be included as part of the infobox or not? I believe yes but I do not know for sure. Bar Harel (talk) 00:22, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
- Fine. Place it in the infobox then, but not in the introductory paragraph. 170.244.28.2 (talk) 23:57, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Black British People revert
Hello! Thanks for explaining why you took out the mention of BLiM. Would it work if I added different citations? I am nothing to do with BLiM but just think it is a great initiative and worth mentioning under the music section. I am not very experienced and this is the first time an edit of mine has been reverted so I am eager to understand if I can improve the mention. Thanks. Balance person (talk) 09:51, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
- The best thing you can do is find an uninvolved WP:SECONDARY source talking about BLIM. You would summarize that and cite it. Binksternet (talk) 15:43, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks very much for your advice. I hope I have now followed it correctly. Let me know if it is still not right? Balance person (talk) 13:42, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
- Fabulous! That's exactly it. Binksternet (talk) 16:39, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you ...but...Well, it seems that somebody is still not happy as it has been removed again! I don't know why. Balance person (talk) 18:34, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Featured article review for Omaha Beach
I have nominated Omaha Beach for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Hog Farm Talk 20:23, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
Imperial Age
Hello! Please note: Manuele di Ascenzo is a permanent member of Imperial Age and is Italian. Also, on the EU and US tours the band played with Tim Schaling (NL), Ryan Thomson (UK), Kublai Kapsalis (TR) and Jens Hendriks (NL). Please stop calling this band Russian - it is a rare example of a truly international Metal act. 95.12.124.189 (talk) 10:01, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- A band is usually considered the nationality of the place where it was formed. That nationality rarely changes with new members. The defining sources are media observers, as usual—WP:SECONDARY sources. If they say the band is international, then you can cite the media. Binksternet (talk) 14:09, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
Blocked
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
. JBW (talk) 16:10, 22 February 2023 (UTC)- @JBW: That seems... excessive. Looking at the diffs you provided, it appears the anonymous editor had been previously blocked for three months for adding unsourced genre information to boot. Not saying unsourced additions are carte blanche to revert with impunity, but we generally prefer simple facts like that to have some attribution when the article body doesn't specify a "genre". —Locke Cole • t • c 16:43, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Indeed we do. However, the fact that we prefer something doesn't absolve an editor from following the policy on edit-warring. JBW (talk) 16:50, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- I guess what I'm saying is, we have an anon editor likely being disruptive, and this editor was reverting it. Subtle vandalism (repeated insertion of unsourced content) is, to me, almost as bad as blatant vandalism. At least blatant vandalism is so obvious any reasonable editor would know to revert it on sight, but subtle vandalism (changing numbers in articles for example to be orders of magnitude different, but by slightly moving a decimal point for example; or adding unsourced genres that look innocent enough even when they may be completely wrong) can linger for years unnoticed. I'd argue this was akin to reverting vandalism. I'd also strongly consider going over WP:BLOCKLENGTH, blocks are to be preventative, not punitive. Even if you disagree about the subtle vandalism, this is still excessive for what you're trying to prevent, especially considering the last block was over a year and a half ago, and no recent discussion appears to have been held to at least ask them to stop. And with WP:PBLOCK being available, a full block is (again) excessive and unnecessary. —Locke Cole • t • c 17:00, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Copying my comment at ANI here: A revert of unsourced genre at Caifanes (album) on 6 Feb, then again on 15 Feb, then on 17 Feb, then on 21 Feb = edit warring? This is chilling for editors who watch over articles that are frequently the target of similar disruptive/unconstructive/unsourced additions and often find themselves repeatedly removing the same disruptive edits. Schazjmd (talk) 17:12, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Just found out about this and had to comment. I have to agree with Schazjmd, mostly because I constantly deal with similar situations where users add unsourced genres to articles repeatedly and think they can just come back and add them again if they're removed for violating this site's core policies. All challengeable material requires a citation, and genres are no exception. It's not our fault if the vandals refuse to acknowledge our existence and treat Wikipedia like their own personal Fandom, and blocking Binksternet for this long is way over the line IMO, especially if he was just reporting one of the countless disruptive editors we have to deal with daily. I honestly can't comprehend how this constitutes "edit warring". ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 20:59, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

- Thanks Buster, I just read this and it puts a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. Editors such as Bink (or you or I) with a long history of working endlessly to improve our encyclopedia, and doing it all for free, should really be seen as in a different light than drive bys and such who take up so much of our time that would be better spent adding to and improving what we've got here. Buster, you can see below where I just asked Bink for help and now I come up and find this... It is discouraging... Sectionworker (talk) 21:35, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hey Bink. Would you be interested in having this copied over to the ANI discussion? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 22:41, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Binksternet (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I request to be unblocked because I am not a threat to the wiki. My months of intermittent activity reverting the occasional genre-warring of the completely unresponsive IP range Special:Contributions/2600:1700:9E70:1210:0:0:0:0/64 culminated in this report I made to ANI, describing the problem, which is how I thought these things should be handled. If veteran editors are not allowed to ease the workload of of admins by policing unsupported edits at the article level, and bringing persistent problems to ANI after they reach actionable levels, then I will stop doing that. Whatever the case may be, I am a reasonable person, and I will change my behavior to fit community consensus. Binksternet (talk) 23:55, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Accept reason:
On reflection I have decided that blocking you was a mistake. You did not handle the situation in the best possible way, but what you did came nowhere near warranting a three month block. JBW (talk) 07:57, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you JBW for unblocking, and for the nice email. Binksternet (talk) 16:39, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- I'm glad you two are good. Both of you obviously had the pedia's best interest at heart, and it's heartening to see fierce wikipedians clash (acting merely in AGF) while doing the right thing. Clear edit summaries, like big elbows, help others understand what we're thinking. I often find it frustrating that people just can't read my mind and do exactly what I expect them to do... BusterD (talk) 23:37, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
Help please
Hi there Bink! You know me by my long time name user:Gandydancer. I thought of you because I remembered that you have an interest in music and are from California. My daughter married into a San Diego Mexican family, the Solorzanos. One of them, along with two others, started a band a few years ago, Thee Sacred Souls, and it quite suddenly took off and has been rapidly becoming quite popular. Daptone Records signed them on and they have made one album. They've been on both the Kimmel and Colbert late night shows. They've appeared nationwide, always to sold out crowds. Even when touring Europe they sold out to some shows in England. They have a writeup at NPR[10] , the San Diego Union Tribune [11], and the Sandiego Reader [12] Do you think that this is enough popularity to satisfy WP rules for band articles? I've done a lot of editing but I've never done one from start to finish without help. What do you think? Sectionworker (talk) 20:39, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Bink is clearly otherwise employed today, but I remember your work. I've looked at your three sources and they look pretty compelling, but perhaps not quite enough. If you wanted to start the process, I'd start by creating a draft using the WP:AFC process. Build your page from the found sources then find more. I'd be glad to help if I can be useful, at least until good Binksternet returns to keyboard. BusterD (talk) 21:28, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- I agree with BusterD. The local San Diego stuff is just not large enough to establish a nationwide presence, and the NPR link is obviously band-generated publicity, the same exact text appearing multiple places on the web. What the band needs to satisfy WP:GNG https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAdveNL2LX0&list=RD9PN_-fY7hL8&index=3is in-depth WP:SECONDARY coverage from two national publications. Or to satisfy WP:NBAND they can chart nationally or get a prominent award. Binksternet (talk) 22:43, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- How lucky I am to have such knowledgeable and helpful Wiki friends. I guess that we have to wait until they get on the charts. They have a good label and it seems they have a good manager, but now we need to see if their music vibrates on the right chord that causes an emotional response to a large number of music listeners. Here is the song they did on the Colbert show: [13] Sectionworker (talk) 01:03, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- PS, the Solorzano musician is the one playing the bass but they can all switch around and play any instrument. Sectionworker (talk) 01:13, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
Block evasion by Dealer07
Banned User:Dealer07 is once again evading their block, this time using the Greek IP Special:Contributions/2A02:587:1E4C:9600:5974:C67A:B31B:B8E8. FYI. Binksternet (talk) 23:04, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

why did you say that symbol doesn't work, that symbol is predominantly used hinduism and should be denoted by ࿗ ࿘ whenever used for hinduism
and why is the hienrich shliemann source not working on lead section but it does seem to work in names and etymology section 3rd paragraph?? i want to cite 351 page but it is not working in any way RamaKrishnaHare (talk) 06:54, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- The symbol you brought in appears as a rectangle to me, which I assume means that it appears as a rectangle to many others. It does not appear as a swastika. Binksternet (talk) 15:10, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- Fixed, thanks for your concern, the character code was maybe conflicting with your version of browser. RamaKrishnaHare (talk) 15:42, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- Still not working. Those symbols appear as rectangles, and now you have added more of them. This is going the wrong direction. Binksternet (talk) 15:49, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- In mine it is working perfectly fine i think it maybe some problem with your browser. let me try again. now i will add character code, please try agin in some time. RamaKrishnaHare (talk) 16:18, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
Uncited material in articles
Hi, Binkerstreet. Please do not add or restore uncited material to articles, as you did with the uncited material that had been moved from the LP record article to its talk page, which you restored with this edit, and without citations. You've accumulated over 437,000 edits here since 2007, so you should know by now that material on Wikipedia generally needs to be derived by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation.
That is the standard for inclusion of most material in articles, and not editors' declaration that "this is super-obvious", which is both subjective and untrue, as all or most of that information is highly-detailed, technical and/or historical information which is not "obvious" to the typical or casual reader, and is precisely why it needs to be derived from sources, and not editors' personal knowledge.
These policies and guidelines, which includes the practice of moving uncited material to the talk page after it had been fact-tagged for some length of time, was upheld in an extended series of discussions last year, which culminated in this one, in which administrator NinjaRobotPirate made it clear that my implementation of the relevant policies & guidelines was correct when he closed the discussion, saying, "Further relitigation of the same points is unlikely to be helpful, and the relevant policies have been repeatedly explained." You can ask him if you wish to corroborate this. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 16:11, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- You apparently took away a positive outcome from NinjaRobotPirate's closing statement, which only mentioned "relevant policies" rather than prioritizing the policy WP:BURDEN. The opposing policy, WP:PRESERVE, is also relevant, and was a major anchor in that lengthy discussion.
- This talk page message of your is unnecessarily aggressive. I don't intend to "relitigate" the past discussion here. Binksternet (talk) 17:11, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
Less important
I see you're going through those annoying mass entries regarding the Universal fire. When I did a similar thing, several people strongly requested me to use a more informative edit summary (as opposed to "fix stupid mass entry" or whatever it was I said.) Going forward, you might want to include a link to a mention of why you're just removing them. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 05:45, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- Good advice! Thanks. Binksternet (talk) 05:46, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
Happy St. David's Day
The leek is one of the national emblems of Wales, worn along with the daffodil (in Welsh, the daffodil is known as "Peter's leek", Cenhinen Bedr) on St. David's Day. According to one legend, King Cadwaladr of Gwynedd ordered his soldiers to identify themselves by wearing the vegetable on their helmets in an ancient battle against the Saxons that took place in a leek field.[1]
