I have personally watched the music video for Bryan Ferry's "Don't Stop the Dance" several times, and as far as I can tell, Laurence Treil is the only woman featured on there, she is only dressed and made up differently. The two editions of the video are interesting. Notice that the screen shot in the article is of the nude women on the beach. I've linked this article to the G-rated version in the "external links."

Hi Joe!

Simply just press that big Edit button next to each section, edit what you want, then click on Save, you have now officially learned how to edit. Mazarin07 (talk) 09:56, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

One more message like the one you just sent me, and I will ask the administrators to ban you. Mazarin07 (talk) 12:22, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't there a rule about not attacking new editors? I see no bannable offense here Mazarin. You're coming across as very sarcastic in the comment above, and I'm not surprised that it provoked a response. If you can't be helpful, then please just disappear at this point. Thank you. Pkeets (talk) 14:34, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Joe. He's posting at my page now, so I guess he'll leave you alone. There are always a few Type A personalities in Wikipedia who show up irritable and annoy everyone. There are also trolls. Some edits have to be fought to a compromise because of differing opinions. This means it's not always an encouraging environment. I would recommend strict politeness when things start to go wrong. In other words, Don't let it bother you. Pkeets (talk) 15:23, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not all editors are unfriendly. I'm happy to help any time. Just let me know. Pkeets (talk) 14:16, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Pkeets (talk) 06:58, 8 June 2014 (UTC),[reply]

I received your invitation to help upgrade the Joe Walsh article. That article looks pretty solid already and might just need to be promoted to the community of WP editors that decides on "Good" articles. In any case, I suggest that you compile a list of things that need to be done and then assign specific tasks to your invitees. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:01, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted your changes because none of them were at all helpful. You blew up the photo past its ideal size, you introduced an unsourced claim about Allman teaching Joe Walsh, and you introduced grammatical errors. Please be more careful with your editing, and leave edit summaries as a courtesy to other users to they can easily see what you're changing. --Spike Wilbury (talk) 14:03, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And your edits to Eagles as well. If you don't have a proper grasp of English grammar, you should not be editing the articles. --Spike Wilbury (talk) 14:05, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry that you took offence to that edit summary, but I suppose I was just frustrated at having to look through dozens of edits when each only contained a small wording tweak. Personally I feel you're just as likely to end up with edit conflicts if you make a lot of little edits rather than just working through what you can do to the page in one edit, but really I think edit conflicts primarily occur on pages concerning recent topics. Still, I think it's probably just that our editing styles differ. Ss112 21:16, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Joe. I'm sorting out some issues with Australian jazz-rock outfit Ayers Rock, which is a long term project for me. I haven't forgotten about Allan, and I do have a plan, but it might take a short while to get back to it. Have a great day. CaesarsPalaceDude (talk) 21:30, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you request protection on the article? There's been no recent vandalism. Doc talk 11:19, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Joe. I'm on fire today. I took care of your last two requests. Check the Madness Uncle Sam (song) video description and see if you think it's accurate. Is that guy in the jodhpurs wearing a British or German uniform? I can't see it well enough in the video to tell, but I'm thinking it looks German. Pkeets (talk) 16:32, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I've seen you around on The Beatles' articles... Would you consider becoming a member of WikiProject The Beatles, a WikiProject which aims to expand and improve coverage of The Beatles on Wikipedia? Please feel free to join us.

See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects. Here are some tasks awaiting attention: Article requests : Articles on each Beatle tour (Category:The Beatles concert tours). See: Missing articles. Expand : The Lost Lennon Tapes, notable radio series which has spawned many bootlegs. Apple Records See also: Adopt an article Stubs : See: Category:The Beatles song stubs Update : Pics/Graphics wanted: Kenwood. Verify : Beatle wives Other : Project: Add {{WikiProject The Beatles}} to the talk pages of all Beatles-related articles. Send a newsletter to members, canvas for new members and coordinate tasks. Enter articles assessed as stubs onto this list, also list articles needing cleanup and other work here. If you complete one of these tasks, please remove it from the list and add your achievement to the project log.

Hi Joe. Can I advise you that if you're going to upload new versions of pictures on Commons, you check which articles use them before doing so. For example, File:Peter Gabriel The Moonlight Knight (cropped).png is used on Genesis (band), a fairly high-traffic article, and the new version of commons makes the thumbnail image here very stretched and distorted, so I had to revert it. If you are planning to make any other changes, drop a note on any affected article's talk pages first and check there's a consensus first, otherwise readers will get a surprise.

Hello, I'm GiantSnowman. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Danny Rose (footballer, born 1993), but you didn't provide a reliable source.

When I reverted your edit to Pete Winkelman, I wrote the comment 'please don't offer troll food'. That was a 'brain/finger discontinuity'[!].

Why do you keep putting "External links" headings on pages that don't have any external links? I assume there's some reason but... I don't get it. -- Walnuts go kapow (talk) 12:38, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Same query here. Please don't do this - we don't add an external links section unless there are valid links to include. Your edits will need to be reverted. Moondyne (talk) 08:23, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My sincerest apologies. Revert away, and don't worry about me adding "External links" in future. Joe Vitale 5 (talk) 10:19, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there JV, from Portugal,

a couple of lines explaining my changes in this footballer's introduction, and thus some guidelines: it's not necessary to include all the clubs he (has) represented, and certainly it is now mandatory we don't include divisions of clubs in the intro. Last but not least, no need to mention the goals he scored in X or Y season (unless it's something important, like in 2011-12 with Almería like I now point out in the current version) or that he scored on his debut, that is the "job" of the storyline proper.

If Mr. Ulloa had any form of international career, of course that would also be intro-material, but he has not. Last but not least, I am not a newbie even though I edit anon now, I used to be User:AlwaysLearning, but asked that my account be vanished after a serious run-in with a troll, had the intention of leaving forever, but seems I cannot :(

Sorry for any inconvenience, was only trying to help. Happy editing, cheers --84.90.219.128 (talk) 00:12, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Joe. I went through it and tidied up a few sentences, but I'm wondering about the amount of detail in the beginning summary. I'm thinking it pretty much repeats what's below and should be cut down. What do you think? Pkeets (talk) 14:28, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Joe. Do you have any idea where this comes from? I can't find the statement anywhere and it definitely needs a citation.

Hi, Joe. I'm just letting you know that I've reversed your edit. I know it was in good faith, so no problem there, but as the article subject hasn't expressed any particular political view and the section is really about how he has been mentioned in reference to politics, the established title for the section seemed more appropriate to me.

A tag has been placed on Sheri Kershaw requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Magnolia677 (talk) 01:40, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I added to the article, but it's been tagged for Speedy Deletion. I challenged (see talk page), but her notability mostly rests on who she's been associated with.

Hello-

• Please make a habit of providing an edit summary when you make a change to an article. Doing so makes it easier for your colleagues here to understand the intention of your edit.
• Plus, it will be easier for you and your co-editors to collaborate on articles if, instead of making multiple consecutive edits in rapid succession on an article, you use the "Show preview" button to view your changes incrementally before finally saving the page once you're satisfied with your edits. This keeps the page history of the article less cluttered.

Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions. Eric ^talk 12:06, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mburrell, I hope that you're doing well. I noticed your edit summery of "return of information about the assault on Mia Zapata", her article claims that she was "possibly raped". I thought that was a good enough reason to remove from the Joan Jett article that she was actually raped as it would mean that the two article contradict one another in claims. Give me your thoughts! Best, Joe Vitale 5 (talk) 11:14, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Evil Stig page says rape. I don't visit the Mia Zapata page, so I didn't know of the different wording. But here are three news articles. (http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/news/gits-drummer-blasts-nbc-for-exploiting-mia-zapatas-death-on-tv-20140114), (http://pitchfork.com/news/34514-mia-zapatas-killer-sentenced-for-good-finally/), (http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/killer-of-seattle-singer-again-sentenced-to-36-years-in-prison/). As far as I know, there is no controversy about the rape, and it seems the page that needs to be fixed is the Mia Zapata article. Mburrell (talk) 16:29, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:516CnyRdoFL SY355 .jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

Hi Joe Vitale. Items tagged as non-free reduced or orphaned non-free revisions need a date stamp in order to get processed properly.

I know you edit Alexander O'Neal-related articles so I thought I'd let you know that I've created one for the compilation This Thing Called Love: The Greatest Hits of Alexander O'Neal if you want to improve on what I've done or add any further info that you have. Thanks! --Geach (talk) 00:46, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Joe. Please consult Wikipedia:Preparing images for upload for why PNG image files are preferred over JPEGs apart from photographs. Thanks. Ss112 18:18, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see you have changed some music topic genres without referencing to support the change. Please read WP:GWAR. Genres are largely subjective, and should be verifiable. Also, band genres come from sources discussing the band's musical style, and album genres come from sources discussing the album's overall style. Neither of these should be based solely on individual song genres. Binksternet (talk) 20:32, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Joe, I just undid two of your edits to Frank Zappa and Sting (musician) per the documentation of Template:Infobox musical artist#associated acts. I'm sure you'll understand . Keep up the good work and cheerzzz! - DVdm (talk) 21:23, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Stockport Town F.C., you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nike (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Thanks for your contributions to Hungary. Unfortunately, they were rolled back because they mostly involved changes to links that are against policy recommendations. The main problem was in your attempted good faith changes to wikilinks, by subsituting in the actual article name instead of a redirect to a page. Actually, this almost always is not an improvement. One way to think about it is, if it ain't broke, WP:DONOTFIXIT. Another explanation can be seen at WP:NOPIPE concerning the use of piped links. Two or three of your changes involved adding links where there wasn't one before, and these could be reinstated if desired; I'll be happy to do it for you after the holidays upon request. A couple of the early changes involved Magyarization of names of people who went by non-ethnic Hungarian names; it's better just to use the names they preferred, or how they are most commonly known (sometimes this can be hard to determine; in that case, the name of their Wikipedia article, if they have one, is a good starting point). And please add an Edit summary with each of your edits, to help other editors understand the intent of your changes. All the best, Mathglot (talk) 08:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, same problem at János Kádár and Goulash communism. I hope there are not more of these. Please stop making further changes to wikilinks that do not change where you end up when you click the link. Cordially, Mathglot (talk) 08:54, 25 December 2018 (UTC) And at Hungarian language, but this predates the notice above so no worries; fixed. Mathglot (talk) 23:56, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Paul Westwood is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paul Westwood until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 20:55, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article Until the End of Time (Twins album) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NALBUM. No assertion of notability for the album itself, and no reliable independent sources online about the album.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

An article you recently created, Good Together (album), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Mccapra (talk) 10:14, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What in the hell? It has 3 references. I don't appreciate my hard work being "drafted". I spend a lot of time on articles like these, time I will not get back. And there are many album articles out there without any references whatsoever so what's so wrong about mine? Not fair, and I'm not happy, Joe Vitale 5 (talk) 10:50, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:ACRGoodTogether.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:04, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Joe Vitale 5. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Good Together (album), a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 19:01, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Joe Vitale 5. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Good Together".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Hi Joe. I'm not sure, as you didn't provide an explanation, why you separated the track listing of Thank You by Diana Ross into vinyl sides when the album was released in 2021. Vinyl is no longer the dominant format, as you know, and there's nothing to indicate the album was intended for the vinyl format (and it definitely was not vinyl-only). So I've reverted this change. Fair enough if this were Ross's albums from before the mid-80s, but not for an album released in 2021—if you are making these sorts of unexplained changes on other articles, like separating albums released beyond the 1980s into vinyl sides, you should have a very compelling reason to do so like those I just mentioned or not be doing so. Also, we don't need to explicitly credit the liner notes in a citation per MOS:ALBUM—it is expected this is where personnel come from. Thanks. Ss112 08:49, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, Joe Vitale 5 (talk) 20:35, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Joe. Just jumping into my old thread here to say you don't need to capitalise the 's' in 'revxscore' in Template:Album ratings. It's been decapitalised for years now. Also, I don't know if you're still doing so, but as I've just seen your edits from earlier this month on Christine McVie (album), just a reminder to not split albums released after the vinyl era (so from the 1990s to present) into sides, unless you can demonstrably prove the album was still intended for the vinyl format. I think albums released after 1982 with CDs becoming a thing then (even if it did not become the predominant format until the late '80s) are an edge case so I don't even think say, albums released in 1984 need to be split into vinyl sides if they aren't already. Ss112 03:45, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But with all due respect, weren't cassette tapes with sides one, and two the leading formats at that time?

Thanks, Joe Vitale 5 (talk) 20:16, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a source for cassette sales exceeding vinyl sales in 1984? Also, again, please stop re-capitalising the 's' in "score" in Template:Album ratings. It was decapitalised in the template documentation years ago. Ss112 02:08, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
