February 2024

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contribution(s). However, as a general rule, while user talk pages permit a small degree of generalisation, other talk pages are strictly for discussing improvements to their associated main pages, and many of them have special instructions on the top. They are not a general discussion forum about the article's topic or any other topic. If you have questions or ideas and are not sure where to post them, consider asking at the Teahouse. Thanks.

Talk pages

Hello, thanks for your thank you but just letting you know that the newest messages on any noticeboard or talk page are placed at the bottom of the page. If you put them at the top or in the middle of the page, the editor is not likely to see them. You can see this on your own User talk page as I've placed this message at the bottom of the page. It's where editors naturally look for new messages.

If you have questions about editing on Wikipedia, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:48, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Get Loose Crew errors

Your recent additions at Get Loose Crew require quite a bit of cleanup, including random bold font and nonsense phrases such as "The group is came to rise became". I'm working on sixing these errors now.

Please take more time with your edits, and please review the Manual of Style. Thanks, Jessicapierce (talk) 15:36, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 15:36, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Similar issues at Beat Factory, such as inappropriate bold and italic text, and the nonsense phrase "based in It was an Ivan Berry and songwriter Rupert Gayle." Because you also added sources and made some improvements, I am fixing your edits rather than reverting them, but honestly this wording is so scrambled that it's borderline vandalism. Jessicapierce (talk) 15:57, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Beat Factory

Hello, I can absolutely see that you are acting in good faith to improve the Beat Factory article. However, your recent additions contained many errors, so I've removed it until those can be addressed. Your work has not been deleted - you can access it in the page history.

I would advise you to repost the content in your sandbox, where you can work on it until it is ready to resubmit. There were many errors such as inappropriate bold text, lack of italics on album titles, and mismatch of verb tense throughout the timeline section. There were also incomplete sentences, unexplained external links, and incorrect capital letters.

Please review the Manual of Style, as linked several times above, before contributing again. I'm happy to work with you on this - I'm very glad to see you're adding legitimate content with sources - but you really do need to clean this up significantly. Thank you, Jessicapierce (talk) 00:19, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Human errors are to be corrected, in good faith HumanWritesBook (talk) 02:37, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
