You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of fiddlers. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful, then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. Post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 08:16, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Sierra Noble
If you feel Sierra Noble is notable enough to merit an encyclopedia article, you may want to consider creating a Wikipedia article for her. There is guidance to be had in that list of links above. Here are some examples of possible page layout. Caution is in order if you are close enough to this musician to have a conflict of interest. It is generally not a good idea to create self-promoting articles. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 17:14, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
- You really need to start using the talk space. What you have been doing to List of fiddlers amounts to a slow edit war and could get you blocked from editing, which I don't want to see. I see you have been adding that red link on other pages as well. Need any help creating a Wikipedia page for Sierra Noble? Just ask on my talk page, or better still, at Talk:List of fiddlers. That is where you are most likely to get exposure to willing assistance. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 01:16, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- I would be happy to see this fiddler have a Wikipedia article. Watching this youtube video, I get the sense that she knows what to do with a bow. Youtube and myspace don't make acceptable wikipedia references, though. As you have noticed, I am trying to keep red links out of the List of fiddlers page.
- With your permission, I would like to start a stub article in your userspace, where it can be brought up to standard, and moved to the main space when ready. I can lend a hand with the formatting and putting external links into a style that fits here. Please have a look at the notability link above, and kindly suggest links that will help. Interviews on radio or TV, articles in newspapers, recordings, that kind of thing. We need to have enough reliably sourced info to convince enough editors that the article is worth keeping.
- For example, I think I saw you say she was born in Ottawa. Is she now based in western Canada? Does she come from a Métis family? Particulars such as this will fit in the article. You are probably in a better position than I am to find material for this article, which is why I suggest your user space as a starting point for it. I will be watching this page, so you can answer here, if you like, and I will see it. Best regards, __ Just plain Bill (talk) 19:18, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
- I am offering to help here. Please do not continue to add red links to List of fiddlers. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 21:40, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
