Dealing with Arlington TX Article
Hey FlightTime. I just was looking at the Arlington, Texas article, and noticed that you were dealing with User:Fands578. You certainly were going by policy, but I'm a bit bothered by how the whole thing panned out, and think you might have come off as a bit WP:BITEy. It's far from obvious to a newcomer that the COI guidelines are as strict as they are now (if I'm reading them right, I will admit I'm a bit out of date). Especially in this context where the user (while in some sense paid to make the edits he made) was making purely factually correct edits without making any color commentary or puffery, and was up front about their COI, I think it's broadly worthwhile to extend a hand in good faith rather than templating. I can see as a non-experienced user it's quite strange that these factual edits would be reverted even given their COI, and providing some context can really help bridge the divide. I've blocked the sock account the user was using, but the fact that it got to that is pretty suboptimal. NativeForeigner Talk 05:20, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
A message from AlternativeMusicEdits19Hey about the SR-71 Edit, Two of the songs of the album are Nu-Metal. That's why I added the Genre to album article. Just listen to "Truth" and "Tomorrow" they're nu metal tracks. BTW None of the tracks are Punk Rock. The Tracks "She was Dead" and "Lucky" are pop-punk song written in a four chord pattern.

A message from Dman54321Hello @Flighttime I read I was to remove the deletion message so I did. I'm new but hope not to distrupt any correct ways of doing work on here. I'm open to follow correct ways. Can you help me? @FlightTime: Dman54321 (talk) 19:37, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
A message from SomePersonaHello! I have just noticed that you reversed my previous edit in the Signals article, and I would like to discuss why I believe the content needs to be added as well as state any other edits that I feel need to be made to the same article as well. I understand that you want to keep Wikipedia free of clutter, and I would appreciate discussing this with you.
@WikiDan61: We can have a discussion anywhere you want, just not on my talk, my request was four months ago, why are you here today ? If you want to talk about me requesting consensus, wouldn't the article's talk be a good place ? - FlightTime (open channel) 16:17, 22 July 2017 (UTC) Linkin Park reverted edit?Hey what's good, I see you reverted my edit on the List of Linkin Park members page in good faith. Although I'm glad you do realize it was done in good faith, why was it reverted? The claims I added also fitted with the source that was provided (which was The Guardian article). It states his sexual abuse, and how he remembered his eventful childhood during a visit to his mother's house, almost beginning to cry. Chester goes on to say that it's no wonder that he took drugs; With literally all of this pointing to depression, which Chester actually struggled with for much of his life. So I don't know how my claim is wrong, can you clarify? Thanks. USMCLP (talk) 13:33, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
So I have to submit a definitive source for a claim that pretty much has it's own source already? Lmao well okay. Rules are rules. Thanks for clarifying. USMCLP (talk) 21:53, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
Wait, clarify again. The claim you're referring to is that these events led to his depression and addiction right? Because if you're saying that the sexual abuse claim I put there is wrong, then you're wrong yourself because Source 18, which is The Guardian article, directly states that. USMCLP (talk) 02:28, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
Oh no I'm not saying you're saying I'm wrong, but I'm just trying to prove the source of my claim. And lol it's my fault I've confused sources with references, I'm referring to Reference 18, which is the article that supports my claim. Here's the link, hope that settles up the confusion. Scroll down a little: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/jul/07/linkin-park-moscow-interview USMCLP (talk) 02:59, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

My edit of Howie Mandel's page
Excuse me, but when you adopt children, they are legally your children! If you get a divorce after you adopt children, there will be a custody battle and the non custodian parent (usually) pays the custodial parent child support. Therefore, I believe that my edit was correct and should stand. It wasn't opinion at all, but fact. Paje music aficionado (talk) 02:35, 29 July 2017 (UTC) Sorry, I'm still new and I don't know if I can edit after I submit a "talk." There's a typo I didn't notice. It should say "non custodial." Autocorrect victim. Paje music aficionado (talk) 02:40, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
Really? It says he adopted his nephews on the bottom of the page! It was already there! Paje music aficionado (talk) 03:01, 29 July 2017 (UTC) Under personal: He met his wife Terry in high school and married her in 1980. They have three children: daughters Jackie and Riley, and son Alex. He also has two adopted nephews, Austin and Zack Mandel Paje music aficionado (talk) 03:07, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
Well, I replied with two sources that confirm he did indeed adopt his two nephews, but for some reason, it didn't appear. Paje music aficionado (talk) 03:28, 29 July 2017 (UTC) If you aren't even going to bother checking facts, rather than just deleting, I don't think I will be contributing further. It took me two seconds to Google it and find out that he adopted his nephews. Paje music aficionado (talk) 03:30, 29 July 2017 (UTC) I don't mean to overstep my boundaries here, but in my humble opinion, instead of deleting the part someone else wrote about him adopting his nephews (because it was unsourced) you could've just researched it (as I did) to confirm its authenticity and left it. Paje music aficionado (talk) 03:39, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
To be fair, I changed a number, so I wasn't required (according to your guidlines) to provide a source. The person who originally wrote about him adopting his nephews was obligated to and did not. I guess I will go back and edit and put that back in and source it myself. Or should I allow the original writer the opportunity to do that themself? I am really not trying to be difficult. I honestly think my suggestion about you verifying and adding a source, rather than just deleting, makes perfect sense. Paje music aficionado (talk) 03:46, 29 July 2017 (UTC) I don't understand at all.I tried having a reasonable discussion with you about my edit being removed, and I feel I was met with dictator- like responses. When I gave, what I felt were good suggestions and ask a question concerning how I should handle the information being added back, I was ignored. I think I will be deleting my account now. Have fun ruling. over your little kingdom. Goodbye Paje music aficionado (talk) 20:31, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

A message from Djfunkfunk
@FlightTime:But then you should also give your justified reason why you are disputing my additions! @FlightTime: I noticed you also reverted my contribution on the Purple Rain (album) page, by stating that I need to seek consensus on the article talk page. But the content was not discussed by anybody. So why then would you want me to follow the procedure Wikipedia:Consensus#Through_discussion to gain consensus when Wikipedia:Consensus#Through_editing would suffice since there was nobody disputing my contribution???

Also, why do caps bother you so much? It's commonly used in journalism communications. Are you just intolerant, or do you have a legitimate reason? Anyway, thanks for the hard work in putting together the page.
YowzaHi FT. When I saw the "angle" of your talk page this was my first reaction. Then I remembered that every fight in this version of Batman took place at various versions of the same. Thanks for bringing a smile to my Sunday. It was much needed. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 17:52, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
A message from ICAgemstoneHi Flight Time, sorry for any hassle... I am an employee of the ICA and I was just trying to update the links of Wiki's gemstone articles that already have a link to our website as an external link. This is because we are updating it and have new URLs. Is this a problem or COI? Should I do this differently? Should I send somebody the list of new URLs? Or just leave the broken links? Or do a re-direct? Thank you for your feedback, no harm intended. Hope we can still let Wiki readers link to ICA's information. Cecilia ICAgemstone (talk) 16:10, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

Those were all references you deleted, but your edit summary suggested they were external links. I have read Help:referencing for beginners. The references were used to verify each entry. Please read WP:ELDUP. "Links to these source sites are not "external links" for the purposes of this guideline, and should not normally be duplicated in an external links section."

ResponseNot to be too rude but I was only following up on past experience and trying to add in a missing credit to Michael Dorn's name since I used to watch the series Martial Law on CBS and Spike TV a long time ago which I confirmed Dorn's involvement since I was also watching Star Trek. Dorn only did a one-episode appearance portraying a corrupt councilman trying to gain control of a football team for himself. I do understand that since the episode aired in January 8 2000, there aren't really any good sources anymore and I am not trying to start an edit war despite my distaste for Wikipedia's rules. You could either got the DVD or watch the episode online are the only real options left besides using TV.com and IMDB, which I admit is often the issue when it comes to using sources for things produced so long ago people could barely remember. -2601:1C2:4E00:BB1:B005:7074:5B1:915F (talk) 19:13, 25 August 2017 (UTC) Jack GrishamThank you for the suggestion, it is the sanest thing I have heard all day.

A message from Wikipageedittor099You left a message on my talk page to say to stop changing genres without consensus, when that wasn't what I did. I reverted a revision that was a genre change without reasoning.

Then whenWith 90% of its text removed, when will this page be considered standard and unnecessary to have maintenance templates? There is already a disclosure of connected contribution on the talk page, is that not enough? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArtFer1 (talk • contribs) 15:59, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
Thats completely contextual, I stopped editing over 2 weeks. It was untouched for two weeks, had 90% of its text removed and it still has the template for non-neutral text and disclosing connected contribution. You just seem to targeting connected contributors and their contributions. A lot of the text I put in this article is seen in similar hotels articles, yet they remain there, and much of the content of wikipedia is written by paid contributors but they just dont disclose that information. You will not be impeding connected contribution by heavily editing out every information on the page, you´re only causing future connected conntributors to not disclose the information at all and just do as they please. Do you not show comprehension and tolerance to connected contributions at all? You´re really only hurting your own community, you and I both know you´re not actually following the spirit of things here. We should try to find a way to concede both ways, neutrally, not just through the concession of connected contributors. @FlightTime: — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArtFer1 (talk • contribs) 16:31, 29 August 2017 (UTC) Lord of the Rings (film series)You quoted my statement "every single film poster, filmmaking credits on DVDs, and movie information/guide on television" has nothing to do with Wikipedia. However, I was using that as a reference. It seems that the casting order on the Lord of the Rings (film series) page is aimed to correspond to the very things I mentioned. I mention them because it does not correspond accurately, which is what Wikipedia aims to do. A.L.
InstrumentsFair enough. Still doesn't explain my point about inconsistency. Why are several artists listed with instruments no one ever knew they played (i.e. Liam Gallagher and Ian Brown like I mentioned, plus countless others) without sources?

Yes sure, end of story, still does not explain some of the behaviour witnessed or some of the issues I mentioned, but I have noticed that furthuring this conversation would only escalate the situation rather than becoming a neutral exchange. Thank you for your time.
A message from Statik NI noticed you warned Strangeguy91 about his genre warring edits. He is still doing it but on different articles: the grunge, post-grunge, Sixteen Stone and Razorblade Suitcase articles. After being blocked before for the edits he made, he continues to make these edits, ignoring warnings from me, you, and others, and even removing sources, with his edit summaries saying "feels more right" or "better like this". Statik N (talk) 22:26, 1 September 2017 (UTC) A message from FolkhistorianHey. Why do you keep deleting my edits to Newport Folk wikipage? I'm an über fan and this page is majorly out of date. I added this to sustainability: "The festival has made efforts in being green-friendly, teaming with many groups to do so over the years. They partner with Bike Newport and Spindrift to provide free bike valets to festival attendees – 13% of all festival goers biked to Fort Adams in 2017. Spindrift also underwrites all volunteers to help recycling and composting efforts onsite – resulting in over 2.7 tons of recycling and 2.2 tons of composting in 2017. They also work with Klean Kanteen to provide free water stations – over 6,700 gallons of water resulting in the avoidance of over 72,000 plastic water bottles from ending up in landfills and the ocean in 2017." That si directly from their recent facebook posts about their 2017 greening efforts. What you have their is inaccurate and out of date. Please advise.

A message from GoltaGolta (talk) 02:00, 10 September 2017 (UTC)Hello FlightTime. Thank you for your message. The reason I didn't add a reference was that the quotation was part of an already cited material. Please check page 29 of this source(already cited) to find the quote I had added: https://www.scribd.com/doc/35129788/Casey-Affleck-Motion
Hi FlightTime. I was wondering why you reverted my edit. One part of the edit "after she left the project" is actually incorrect information(date of the quoted email: March 2009, Date of leaving project: April 2009). The other edit is part of the email exchange and balances both sides. It is important in terms of how the plaintiff had behaved before resigning. This is an important issue and I think the addition was correctly cited and fair. Thank you! --Golta (talk) 02:28, 12 September 2017 (UTC)Golta
I understand that you're busy but can you respond to what I wrote here, please? Part of my edit was to correct an incorrect piece of information. It's easily verifiable. The other, in my opinion, is not trivia at all. The argument presented against the plaintiff is that she had never complained about work environment before. My addition, which was cited, suggested that she had. I hope you don't mind me messaging you again, but the current version is not correct and neutral. Do you mind if I edit it in another way? Thank you. --Golta (talk) 02:44, 12 September 2017 (UTC)Golta
Thank you for your response. Can I edit the incorrect info? I will do what you suggested about the other part. I'm sorry about the back and forth and appreciate the response. --Golta (talk) 03:09, 12 September 2017 (UTC)Golta
