[edit] Six of the Best (merge)

Hi Adw uk, welcome to Wikipedia. I've undone the merge you just made because it wasn't discussed first. I've added the proper merge tags to both articles and left a comment at Talk:Genesis (band) about my edits. Cheers. Robotman1974 15:52, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi again. It looks like no one knew about the proposed merger before because Genesis (band) wasn't tagged for a merge back in September. The merge tags I placed on both articles now are these: {{Mergeto|Genesis (band)|date=March 2007}} and {{Mergefrom|Six of the Best|date=March 2007}}. Usually it's good to wait at least 5 days after proposing a merge, sometimes longer. You can read more about merging pages at WP:MM. Now that the merge tag is in the Genesis article itself, I think it won't take long for other editors to see it and have their say. I'm actually surprised the reunion concert isn't mentioned in that article already. I think a short sentence mentioning it and linking to Six of the Best would be a good idea. Happy editing.

[edit] Six of the Best (deleted info)

Hi,

I'm new to editing at Wiki and would like to know why you removed some of my additions to this page? I did not offer my personal opinion (I wasn't at the show) just added some additional information (many citations) and the 'fan's eye view' was just put there to give a sense of the occassion and the status this show holds to Genesis fans.

Kind regards, Andrew —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Adw uk (talk • contribs) 11:10, 23 March 2007 (UTC).

Ahh, I did not realise you were new to Wikipedia. In that case, let me first welcome you aboard and apologise if my edits seemed harsh in anyway -- that can unfortunately be a common occurrence on Wikipedia; but just keep in mind that reverts happen to the best of us. The portion of information I had removed was unreferenced, rife with weasel words, and outright unencyclopedic. I understand your intent with providing an observer's viewpoint of the concert, but Wikipedia attempts to stick to the facts and tries not to align with any point-of-view or opinions. If there was information within that text that you felt was particularly valuable, feel free to add segments back in, but try to keep it in a more neutral tone and be sure to provide a reference.
As you had provided an observer's viewpoint but state that you were not the observer yourself, I am left to assume that this information came from some source, somewhere; and rarely do editors add any emotional language (i.e. emphasising "the" or the quote at the end), therefore it may appear that this information was directly copied from somewhere. Be sure that any information you provide is not copied directly from any copyrighted source, but rather paraphrased in your own words.
I hope that helps -- feel free to respond on my talk page should you have any further questions. Sláinte! --Bossi (talk ;; contribs) 11:41, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
