Rules of using my talk page[edit]

Must be done (NO exception)

I will always reply to your messages, either in your "my talk" page OR on the discussion page of [insert article name] unless you have told me otherwise. So, don't worry about your message not received ;)
Please add your signature at the end of the message. (In case you don't know, type in "Ashfreak261 (talk) 03:57, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[insert username]" when done typing message. That's your signature :O. There's also a button at the top of the editing section. However, if you decide to type it, the key on your keyboard, it's located right next to "1". [I also didn't know that until three (3) weeks I got my account XD])[reply]
If your message is regarding an edit, please set up a new section on this page with the message. Then, please go to the article regarding the edit and start a discussion. I would appreciate it if you could repost the message that was in "my talk" page.
Any comments towards any of my messages would be appreciated.
No bad language or discouraging/rude comments towards anyone! No one likes it, and neither do I. So, don't do it (here, my user lookup, or on any page)!
If you're someone who uses faces (like me XD), please use them correctly. For example, if you're going to send me something negative, don't put a smiley face at the end. It'll just make everyone unhappy :(.
Whatever you do, DO NOT change my rules for your benefit. I know what goes on here by heart, and I'm the only one who can add or remove my rules. If you do this, I WILL report you.
Have fun in here! Wikipedia is a website. What happens here won't affect you, I'm sure of it :).

Not required, but greatly appreciated

I am a grammar freak, sad to say XD. If you could, please spell your messages with the highest accuracy.
Since I am so young, some of the words or phrases you may like to use, I may not get :/. If you feel like I may not get it, please a simpler, shorter explanation at the end of the sentence.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Breakout (album). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. NrDg 22:53, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule at Breakout (album). Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. NrDg 18:06, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

High School Musical 3: Senior Year (soundtrack)[edit]

Regarding your edits: which other movie would we be discussing the soundtrack of in this article? This edit just adds unneeded words to the header. If you feel they are necessary, please explain your reasoning on the talk page. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 23:14, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I ask you to please explain your edits on the HSM3 soundtrack page. Not only are you adding redundant text to the heading, but you are also deleting prose about the bonus section and replacing it with a bulleted list. —C.Fred (talk) 01:36, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please see the discussion on Talk:High School Musical 3: Senior Year (soundtrack) for why your most recent edit was reverted and why another such revert, in the absence of discussion and consensus, is likely to lead to your account being blocked. —C.Fred (talk) 23:49, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Track listing[edit]

Please refrain from reverting the tracklistings for: Demi Lovato's Don't Forget, Jonas Brothers' It's About Time, Jonas Brothers, and A Little Bit Longer as the current template is the one that Wikipedia encourages for music. If you would like, read about it here: Template:Tracklist. If you continue to revert it, I WILL report you for vandalism. Thank you for understanding :) - Nikiangelz

Your recent edits[edit]

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 18:41, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there[edit]

Hi Kevin, and I'm afraid I've had to delete your userpage. This is because it's not a good idea for young people to post their full name and details on a page that can be seen by everyone all over the world (I'm sure you can imagine why!). If you'd like me to restore the page with your personal details taken out, just drop me a note on my talk page. Thanks! Black Kite 20:29, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've actually had the edits containing too much information permanently purged, so only a handful of people can see them. Again, this is to protect you- too much information can be used in bad ways! Nwwaew (Talk Page) (Contribs) (E-mail me) 20:52, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again - yes, sorry I did that without warning you, but we do need to be careful (as I'm sure you can understand). If you need any help editing Wikipedia, drop me a line. Thanks, Black Kite 00:28, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Breakout (album)[edit]

You are editing against the consensus established by other editors and basically just making format changes that are irrelevant to content. Please work to improve the article and desist from the slow motion edit war you are currently involved in. --NrDg 19:50, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

November 2008[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Your test on High School Musical 3: Senior Year (soundtrack) worked, and has been removed. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Say Headcheese!--hexa Chord ² 03:18, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template Tracklist[edit]

If you look, it's the actual template that wikipedia condones for tracklists. It's always best to use a template for things, as it makes them easier to handle in the long run. With this tracklist, when more things are discovered about a track, it allows a more easier and neater way of presenting the information. You can find out more about it here Template:Tracklist. When wikipedians make things like these, it's usually meant to be used. - Nikiangelz

Actually, it takes up the same amount of space except it adds more information. It's much more efficient, and effiency should deffintely come before "space". They're specifically designed to be used on Wikipedia, for exacatly what they're being used for, so I don't see a problem. - Nikiangelz

You are adding nothing to articles by deviating from the standard formats embedded in the templates. You need a compelling reason for not using a standard format - absent that leave it alone. We are trying to make this encyclopedia look somewhat consistent over all the articles. Templates that help that purpose are to be encouraged and used. If you don't like the templated format contribute to the discussion on the template's discussion page. --NrDg 19:43, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Take this as a warning about disruptive editing. You have given no reason for continually reverting a valid standardization attempt by another editor. You have not discussed this with anyone to gain consensus. You appear to have an WP:OWN ownership issue with the article Camp Rock (soundtrack) and seem unwilling to allow other editors to make improvements you disagree with. --NrDg 00:18, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What you don't seem to understand is that the template that was being used is a STANDARD template. It is what is supposed to be used, and by reverting it you are vandalizing. I am putting the template back, any other attempts to revert it should be taken to the talk page, or I will report you for ownership and vandalism. Narcotics (talk) 21:12, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Camp Rock[edit]

I have put a new format on the Camp Rock (soundtrack) page. I will only do it once (just to clear it up). If you don't like the format I have put, please put in "my talk" box the reason why before you remove it. Personally, I think this is fine because it's like the one you and Nikiangelz prefered, and it's custom to fit in the tight space on the page. -Ashfreak261 (talk) 18:59, 21 November 2008 (UTC)Ashfreak261[reply]

(Moved from my page to keep conversation threads in context. This conversation really belongs on the article talk page, not on user talk pages.)

I have no preference about the appearance of the track lists and generally don't care except when two editors appear to be in an edit conflict. I do, however, prefer it when editors use standard templates as much as possible. You seem to be missing the point about templates, the issue is not about how the info is formatted, it is about using standard templates. When a template is improved, all articles that use it get improved. When you hard code most of what a template does you lose the benefit of template improvements and the standardization that goes with it. The format or appearance of an article is secondary to the content in general, but consistency of appearance of similar type articles, as encouraged by using standard templates, makes the encyclopedia as a whole look more professional. If you don't like how a template formats the information, the place to discuss this is the discussion page for the template. --NrDg 19:20, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I will have to revert your edit... someday[edit]

Yes. I know you tried to use wikitable instead of tracklist, because redering issue.

But:

tracklist has more modern look
tracklist is being used everywhere on newly released album
if you continue to... have redering issue, feel free to upgrade (use) to Firefox - the faster, safer, smarter way to browse the Web^TM.

I'll revert to tracklist on pre-LNY days.
