Parody Controversy?

Doesn't explain why the parodies are controversial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.99.94.31 (talk) 20:06, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 2 July 2014

This edit request to deadmau5 has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Not done: as you have not requested a change.
If you want to suggest a change, please request this in the form "Please replace XXX with YYY" or "Please add ZZZ between PPP and QQQ".
Please also cite reliable sources to back up your request, without which no information should be added to any article. - Arjayay (talk) 17:56, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 18 July 2014

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please change the title of the article from Deadmau5 to deadmau5. Other articles such as iPhone and iCarly have stylized article titles, setting a precedent for making this change. W.guthro (talk) 21:15, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done. —Mr. Granger (talk · contribs) 03:53, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: I reverted that. The title of this article has been highly contentious – subject to several move requests and a move review – and should not be changed casually. MOS:TM still applies. This change of title is contrary to the outcome of that extensive discussion that occurred not so long ago. —BarrelProof (talk) 04:07, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

SoundCloud account

Zimmerman has deleted all tracks from his SoundCloud account, except for one, and has renamed the account "fuckmylife". Anyone thinks that should be mentioned? 24.201.216.214 (talk) 08:12, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

his account has been named that for quite some time now, long before he deleted everything lol ~Helicopter Llama~ 14:28, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not saying that he did it just now, but it's definitely worth a mention IMO because to me it looks like something related to his copyright claims and legal issues. 24.201.216.214 (talk) 21:10, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

when you put it that way it sounds like speculation/original research; he deleted the songs about 8 months ago too, long before this disney hubbub. personally i think they both need to...let it go :( ~Helicopter Llama~ 21:37, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 17 November 2014

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Deadmau5. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
