Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page.--PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:28, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kris Kross

Why did you make this edit to Kris Kross? If the album has an article, which it does, then it doesn't also need a citation just to prove that it exists. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 18:33, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - @TenPoundHammer:, Best of Kris Kross Remixed '92 '94 '96 has zero references. --Jax 0677 (talk) 22:21, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That still doesn't mean you need a citation just to prove the album exists in another article. That's not how sourcing works. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 03:13, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Reply - @TenPoundHammer:, the album needs to be sourced somewhere. --Jax 0677 (talk) 13:13, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How about in the article itself and not in another one? Someone else has already fixed it by redirecting and adding a source in Kris Kross proper. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 03:17, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Reply - @TenPoundHammer:, you have just proven my point, that it needed to be sourced in Kris Kross, or the album article, which was not the case until I tagged it. --Jax 0677 (talk) 11:42, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vended

The members of Vended are verified in the first sentence after "History": Vended was formed in 2018 by Taylor and Crahan when they were teenagers; the duo then recruited Pugh, Epseland, and Grodzicki. They don't need to be verified a second time in the "members" list. Facts don't need to be verified every time they appear in the article, just the first time.

Living Chaos

Hello Jax, hope you are doing well, I am just asking you to delete your redirected page of Living Chaos please, because I have a full version of the band's album and I just want to release it, that's all.

Thank you, and have a great rest of your day. Doomed Shadow (talk) 14:59, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - @Doomed Shadow:, please see WP:RMT. --Jax 0677 (talk) 16:10, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Messer (band)

If you know that a member has left, why not just update the article instead of slapping an "outdated" template on it? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 22:03, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - @TenPoundHammer:, {{outd}} is fewer characters. Perhaps you should research before removing a template prior to issue resolution. --Jax 0677 (talk) 22:08, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you should try to fix things if you know they're wrong instead of spamming templates. "Fewer characters" just makes you sound lazy. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 22:22, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There, I fixed it. Was that so hard for YOU to do?! Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:25, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Reverting me over and over is just so much easier than fixing the fucking article, huh?! Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:57, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Reply - WP:CIVIL. --Jax 0677 (talk) 00:01, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you'd focused on just making the changes yourself instead of slathering everything in maintenance tags, this would have been a lot easier. Why is it so hard for you to just do the work? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 01:06, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An IT blessing for you!

May your "downtime

" always be the relaxing kind.

Notification of topic ban

Per the consensus here, I have enacted a topic ban wherein you are not allowed to apply maintenance tags to any articles or drafts. Note, this applies to all tags and not just your list nor the shortcuts. Any violation of this topic ban will lead to escalating blocks so I advise you to edit with caution. Star Mississippi 21:47, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Star Mississippi:, I shall do everything that I can to comply with the topic ban set forth. Cryptic has provided guidance [here] to assist me in determining which templates I should or should not use. --Jax 0677 (talk) 21:59, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Star Mississippi:, I just got a message from Andy Dingley. Am I allowed to discuss the addition of templates on a talk page? --Jax 0677 (talk) 22:17, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Belated, but I agree with @Floquenbeam here and the advice @Cryptic gave you as well as @Andy Dingley's first point: don't. While I wouldn't block you for discussing, it's a grey area where an admin wouldn't be wrong to do so if they thought you were using the Talk to get another editor to act as your proxy. Go work in another area entirely for a while, then try to learn where the disconnect is with your tagging and the community's views and then maybe consider requesting the ban be lifted. Star Mississippi 00:42, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In case you're interested in drive-by feedback, Jax, I would strongly suggest not discussing adding templates on an article talk page. Even if technically, you're allowed to. It just brings you closer to the cliff edge. Just let it go, I'd suggest. Let article maintenance be someone else's problem for a long while, to prove to everyone you are not hyper-focused on the subject and might, eventually, be allowed to get involved again someday. Floquenbeam (talk) 23:09, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! --Jax 0677 (talk) 23:11, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
