I used the editing assistant Twinkle to place the warning template. They can be placed manually without tools also. WP:UWT has a list of all the various user warning, notice and notification templates there are. :)
Your attempt to normalize Anglocentric anti-Americanism on the music pages
Oh the hypocrisy, projection, and gatekeeping.
For one, you can’t uphold edits that delete or downplay long-standing additions that establish American and other national credit on pages like New Wave music, Progressive rock, Electronic rock, and more, especially when these edits are carried out by IPs and sockpuppet accounts. To then uphold edits and gatekeep pages to maintain British credit on a vast array of music genre pages(many of which it doesn’t deserve to be credited on, if the US is being removed from the New Wave page), is ridiculous. That is OBVIOUSLY biased POV-pushing.
You also can’t possibly accuse others of “anti-British/pro-American POV-pushing” when “anti-American/pro-British POV-pushing” dominates the music pages on Wikipedia. You people uphold deletions of the US from cultural origins of genre pages, even when perpetrated by random IPs. You call any attempt to do the same to the UK “anti-British POV-pushing”. You remove any attempt to source an American perspective on the development of a genre, and yet even pages for music styles that originated in America favor an obnoxiously “Anglocentric” perspective. Any attempt to balance this perspective is met with backlash, bans, and accusations of sockpuppetry, mostly from British users. Any third party individual would recognize the obviously systemic anti-American bias here. Yes, there is an obvious attempt by a network of Wikipedians to appropriate credit for the development of Rock music to Britain, from America. YOU are engaged in anti-American/pro-British POV-pushing. You are not going to make the accusation otherwise again, and we will keep editing until a compromise is met. 24.14.196.245 (talk) 03:19, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GrayStorm If you take a look at the page history of Tom Parker (judge), the edit from that IP comes from the same 2600:1000:B100:0:0:0:0:0/41 range as the other IPs that engaged in much more egregious, persistent unconstructive edits such as this. If you see different IP addresses making unconstructive edits but the first two or three groups of digits are the same, they are likely the same person. I suspected that, hence I issued an "only warning". — AP 499D25(talk)01:11, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Liz I'm already aware of that, but didn't know I needed to also use it when adding comments to closures, rather than just when closing threads. Will definitely do next time, got it! — AP 499D25(talk)07:04, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I noticed you recently added a level 4 warning to this IP user, however, it seems that the last time the user made any edits was over a month ago. It seems stale to add a warning this late. I wanted to see if there was any other reason behind this that I otherwise missed. Thanks,NeuropolTalk12:52, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed User:Binksternet had reverted a couple of edits from that IP range citing block evasion of User:Iamthegoat524. Then I had a look at that account to see what its status is and that's when I noticed that there was an open unblock request. — AP 499D25(talk)03:33, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ArbCom 2024 Elections voter message
Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve.

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
Kurnahusa (talk) is wishing you a MerryChristmas! This greeting (and season) promotes WikiLove and hopefully this note has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user a Merry Christmas, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Happy New Year!
Spread the cheer by adding {{subst:Xmas5}} to their talk page with a friendly message.
First things first, I just wanted to say congrats on the successful ban appeal! It's good to see you around and back again.
Regarding the draft that you've created, I've placed an Articles for Creation (AfC) banner at the top of it. It has instructions on how to prepare a draft for review, as well as a button to submit it for review. When you are ready, click that blue button!
Note that the AfC review process could take anywhere between a few hours to a few days, to sometimes even a few weeks, as the backlog of draft articles to be reviewed at AfC is often quite large.
Alternatively, since you are autoconfirmed, you could move the page to mainspace (article space) yourself, which will skip the AfC review process. AfC is not mandatory for users who are autoconfirmed and do not have a conflict-of-interest with the article subject.
Lastly, the next time you run into a situation where a page has been speedily deleted (e.g. under G5) and you have a good reason for it to be undeleted, you can make a request over at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion, instead of asking the administrator who deleted the page.
Thanks a lot for answering! The other thing I wanted to ask which seems to have disappeared is I made a category for protopunk groups before realizing theres seperate ones for American and English protopunk groups, should the category be deleted? Aradicus77 (talk) 00:37, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No worries! As for the categories, pages that you created by yourself which have very little to no edits by other editors on them can be easily deleted, if you wish, by placing {{db-author}} on it (but note, for categories you'll probably want to empty them out first before doing that). Otherwise, you can just leave the categories alone and let other editors decide what to do with them – someone may bring them to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion for merging, deleting or whatever (and if that happens, there will usually be an invitation notice on your talk page to that nomination).
Another option is that you could nominate the categories yourself at WP:CfD if you want some input from the community on whether they should be merged, or kept separate.
Sorry that I missed your question about categories in the original message – it turns out that this talk page actually got placed into those categories, and so those links basically weren't visible in the message. I've went and corrected it by using the "colon trick". Don't worry though, it's a common mistake that I've even seen highly experienced editors make, because almost nobody (or Wikipedia notices) ever tells others about the colon trick. — AP 499D25(talk)02:55, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thank you for all the help you've provided. And I've wanted to ask, you know how I appealed by ban a bit earlier? Would it be possible to appeal the Red Krayola topic ban earlier too? I was thinking not to ask this since it doesn't look good that I'm not waiting the amount of time to just appeal it and be back to editing those articles again, but when I checked Red Krayola someone seemingly used ChatGPT or some AI language model to replace information and that just irked me a lot. I've gotten lots of thanks recently for revamping a bunch of articles that needed heavy re-wording. If I got unbanned on Red Krayola it would just be to fix Krayola related articles. The reason I was banned in the first place was because I was so new to Wikipedia. I literally just heard some of their songs and thought this sounded like "goth" and added it to Goth rock page with no sources. Once I realized how Wikipedia actually worked I was banned and made new accounts to make edits which got me flagged as a sockpuppet. It's really until you told me that it was possible to appeal a ban that I knew how to come back properly. I feel it wasn't made clear that bans were appealable and not permanent. Aradicus77 (talk) 12:36, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Aradicus77 I apologise for the very late response. Due to other things of priority like university study, and computer hardware acquisitions, I had not been able to respond early to this message.
Anyways, yes you will be appeal your Red Krayola topic ban, but not right now though. If you read the accepted unblock request on this old revision of your user talk page, it says the topic ban may be appealed after another six months. So you'll need to wait until 23 December 2025 to be able to successfully appeal the ban.
Anyhow, I'll post some instructions on how to appeal the topic ban when that day comes. Since you are no longer blocked from editing anymore, there is no need to use the {{unblock}} template. Navigate to the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard page and make a new post stating that you wish to appeal your Red Krayola topic ban. You'll need to describe the reasons why you believe the topic ban shall be removed, although it doesn't have to be lengthy in wording – just needs to be clear and on point. Once again, doing it right now is too early, unfortunately, so you'll need to wait until then (23 Dec) before making the appeal post.
