[edit] Blondie

Just so that you know, the articles you are creating for individual songs will likely be deleted as they provide no real information. Why are these specific songs notable? Were they successful on charts? In their current form, these entries only take up server space as they provide the reader with nothing. Harro5 10:47, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

Go see at Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Die_Young,_Stay_Pretty what the consensus will be, then keep creating new articles on Blondie songs. feydey 17:43, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
Taking up server space? Wikipedia is not paper. Meg99 06:54, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kidnapper,

Did you really intend the comma to be part of the articel name on Kidnapper,? This will make the article almst impossible to find, as wikipedia serach typically works on exact matches. DES 17:18, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

  • I've moved the song to "Kidnapper (song)". A gentle reminder to editors - please dont bite the newcomers. Give User:Scaryspice a break, they should be encouraged to edit. Meg99 06:54, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of votes from a VFD page

Please do not remove votes you disagree with from a Votes for Deletion page, as you did here [1]. That's considered a very serious act of vandalism, and an attack on the consensus model of Wikipedia. Not every vote goes the way we like it, but that's life. Trying to alter the voting process like that will get noticed, and continuing to do it would probably get you banned. -Satori 16:42, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Blondie (band)

Please stop reverting your edits back to the Blondie article. I have already (and others have already) explained to you why your edits are not appropriate. You are free to contribute to any article, but you do not own the article. Your edits have to be acceptable to the community. Please share your knowledge, but try to avoid forcing your will onto those few articles that specifically interest you. What you are doing is considered vandalism, and may eventually lead to you being blocked from editing. Please stop doing this now. Thank you. Rossrs 21:14, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

To answer your question, it's considered vandalism because :

There is a set format for Wikipedia articles - have a look at Wikipedia:Manual of style for an example of the types of guidelines we follow. All articles are different, but for the total Wikipedia package to work, there needs to be some conventions followed about how articles are set out. All articles need to have a similar look and feel, and need to convey the impression that they are part of a larger "set" of articles. The Blondie article you keep contributing is jarring both visually and in terms of its style. Doesn't mean it's inaccurate, just inappropriate. This format was set up before you got here, and before I got here, and it's still evolving.

The articles grow and are edited by consensus. This means you have equal right to contribute but it does not mean you have more right. If you are overruled by several people on something that you want to put in an article, you have to be gracious about it, and just accept that you don't win them all. When several people change your edits, and you arrogantly change them back without considering that your opinion is just one of many, you are basically saying that your opinion is worth more than everyone else's. When you then stubbornly revert back to something that has already been explained to you as inappropriate, that's vandalism. It's not part of working in a community, where you would be very welcome if you took the time to try to understand how things work.

Several times you have made numerous words bold in the Blondie article. Find me one other article here, where every noun, or person's name, or album name etc are bold, and where it has remained that way after consensus from other contributors, and I'll stop protesting. You won't find such an article though. Also you persistently add the "Blondie is this, Blondie is that etc. Blondie is something else" statement. It looks like an advertising slogan. It belongs on a fan page because it's strong and it's effective. It's not encyclopedic though, and that's why it doesn't belong here. It's a point of view, and whether the point of view is right or wrong is not the point, the tone of these articles should be neutral.

You obviously have a lot to contribute, but you seem to be not interested in learning how this system works. You could actually improve these Blondie articles, because they have always been severely lacking. I think it's a shame because you're obviously passionate and knowledgeable about this subject.

[edit] Blondie single covers

I see you are the person who has uploaded these. However the images are very small and do not fit in well with the infobox conversions I am trying to do. Images should be at least 200 pixels wide. Cheers Soapopera 06:23, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
