Your Message to Me

Hi, Beadbop. Normally, I don't like communicating off-Wiki, so I'm answering here. There is no easy solution to this situation. Wikipedia material must be supported by reliable sources. That is an absolute requirement. If a matter is known to somebody personally but not in any published, and reliable, sources, then it simply does not belong here. This is not a form of social media or bulletin board. If what is on this page ends up being just about the musical career of Russ Freeman, that might be for the best, as he is a known figure in the jazz world, and his notability supported by reliable sources. For now, I will just let things stand as they are. I wish you the best. Regards, Alan W (talk) 02:31, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

MOS:THEMUSIC ↗

{{xt|Mid-sentence, per the MoS main page, the word '''the''' should in general not be capitalized in continuous prose.}} – '''zmbro''' <sub>(talk) (cont ↗)</sub> 16:04, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

:Regarding the use of "the" or "The" mid-sentence, the changes I made from "the" to "The" were in regards to the names of rock bands, i.e. The Smiths or The Beatles. Even if those band names appear mid-sentence, the word "The" is still capitalized because it is a title. This is as per The Chicago Manual of Style and the APA Guidelines. Please consider reverting your edits of my changes. Thank you for taking the time to look into this issue. Best wishes, from Paula Kenley Freeman, aka beadbop. Beadbop (talk) 19:19, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
::No, that's explicitly wrong. Read the text in MOS:THEMUSIC ↗: per WP guidelines band names are not capitalized mid-sentence. – '''zmbro''' <sub>(talk) (cont ↗)</sub> 23:10, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Punctuation changes

Hi there. I noticed you changed the punctuation around quotes and titles in the Born Slippy ↗ article ( https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Born_Slippy_Nuxx&diff=next&oldid=1222327606 ↗). I reverted those changes since they don't follow the Wikipedia style. See MOS:LQ ↗ for a full explanation. Thanks. Popcornfud (talk) 06:37, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, I'm StereoFolic. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions ↗ to :Joseph Ladapo ↗ have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse ↗ or the Help desk ↗. ''Your edit in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joseph_Ladapo&diff=prev&oldid=1310288119

As an experienced editor, you should know better than this. Please do not do this kind of unproductive editing again.'' StereoFolic (talk) 20:28, 8 September 2025 (UTC)

:Additionally, I will note that you flagged that edit as a "minor" edit, which is obviously not true. Abusing the "minor" edit flag is a serious breach of editor trust. StereoFolic (talk) 20:30, 8 September 2025 (UTC)
