Hi. If you want to nominate an article for GA status, add it to Wikipedia:Proposed good articles. Don't just mark an article as good. Many thanks. Belwine • 💬 • 📜 17:40, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

@Belwine: Sorry. The Electric Guitar (talk) 19:39, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Don't worry, everyone makes mistakes :) Belwine • 💬 • 📜 19:45, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, we all do. All Wikipedians do. The Electric Guitar (talk) 19:46, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi, you nominated the Eddie Van Halen article for deletion, saying that the sources were fake and contains many falsehoods regarding Eddie Van Halen's death. Personally, I wouldn't say this is a reason to delete the article. If you believe there is wrong information in the article, please add reliable sources to the article to support your claim. Many thanks, Belwine • 💬 • 📜 20:20, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Ok. I’ll do that but I need your help though because I don’t want anybody else becoming involved in this because it doesn’t concern them. The Electric Guitar (talk) 20:57, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Please do not make unhelpful changes to Wikipedia. The changes you made seem to be vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you want to try changing Wikipedia to learn more about how it works, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --IWI (talk) 21:25, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

I wasn’t trying to do anything bad, but I included true evidence here. The Electric Guitar (talk) 21:28, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

 (change conflict) Wikipedia is not a place for your conspiracy theories - it is a verfiable encyclopedia. Please refrain from calling the death of Van Halen a hoax. Reliable sources have demonstrated this not to be the case. Best, --IWI (talk) 21:28, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Please find reliable sources to back up your claim. Belwine • 💬 • 📜 21:29, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

I’m sorry but I’m stopping the discussion because I know Wikipedia isn’t a place for conspiracy theories, I know Eddie’s death is a hoax. The reliable sources are not true, so because it’s a hoax and if I know it’s a hoax then I’ll call it a hoax. Discussion over. Kind regards, - - The Electric Guitar (talk) 21:32, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

You're perfectly entitled to those opinions, but unless reliable sources back it up, it does not belong here. Best regards, --IWI (talk) 21:33, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

You’re just a bully, man. I know this is a verifiable encyclopedia but you’re claiming Eddie Van Halen’s death isn’t a hoax, which isn’t verifiable because you’re hoaxing yourself. It’s a hoax, and we need to forget it because this is getting out of hand. Let’s call it off. The Electric Guitar (talk) 21:36, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

These are the guidelines - we use reliable sources to back up our claims, especially on BLPs (biographies of living persons). Belwine • 💬 • 📜 21:37, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

I’ve had enough of this. I’m sorry, ImprovedWikiImprovement but I do respect your opinion but I don’t agree. Eddie’s still here, and that’s done. Called off discussion. Kind regards, The Electric Guitar (talk) 21:38, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

If you are not willing to work with others, and cannot find an Reliable Source to support your claim, then Wikipedia is not for you. --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 21:39, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

@つがる Have to call it out, telling someone that is very BITEy. Please try to not say wikipedia is not for you, it's not good for new contributors. CM-Public (talk) 22:40, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Maybe I should have linked it to this page, in my statement. Anyways, I didn't just say by itself 'Wikipedia is not for you' I said in my statement, that If they cannot provide a reliable source, then Wikipedia isn't the best place for them to be. Just saying "Wikipedia is not for you" by itself is rude, and I didn't say that. --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 22:51, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

@つがる I will just not call someone CIR either, that itself applies the person is in good faith but is a net negative, people will feel very sad about that. Though this user now is send for a CU, let's still give them a little space till the result is out. If socking, then yes they deserve a block. Shall we? CM-Public (talk) 22:57, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

I am willing to work with others. You’re just a bully, man. Please leave me alone. I am trying to find reliable sources. Leave me alone because I don’t want this to escalate. Thank you. You can’t insult me just like that. The Electric Guitar (talk) 21:42, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

We are just trying to help. You have nominated a page for deletion twice, we need to discuss about it. Belwine • 💬 • 📜 21:44, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Yes, we do not want to see you get blocked --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 21:45, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

And putting the word block scares people off? CM-Public (talk) 22:41, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

No, I just linked it to the page that talks about blocks, so they user knows why we want to help them. --Tsugaru Let's Talk! :) 🍁 22:51, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

I understand you’re trying to help, Belwine. I just don’t want anybody bullying me round and I know you’re not doing that except for the guy who spoke to me earlier. You know the insulting, incompetent bully who spoke to me earlier, he can’t demoralise me just like that. I’m not having a go at you but I’m having a go at him because he said I don’t belong here, that’s a right insult. The Electric Guitar (talk) 21:48, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

I’m going to bed now guys. See you tomorrow. The Electric Guitar (talk) 21:50, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

 (change conflict)  I didn't say you don't belong here, I said content relating to the death of Van Halen being a hoax doesn't belong here. I'm sorry if you felt insulted; this is not personal, I am just applying our verifiability policy. --IWI (talk) 21:51, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

@ImprovedWikiImprovment No wonder they felt this way, there are many threats and BITE statements above. CM-Public (talk) 22:42, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Yours and Belwine statements are okay IMO. Just to be clear. CM-Public (talk) 22:49, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm CM-Public. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see Wikipedia:Citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Please read this, sorry for the reception. This is a wikipedia, all statements must be sourced. CM-Public (talk) 22:45, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

 (change conflict) @CM-Public: If you look at the edit history of Eddie Van Halen, you will see why some users above have been a bit bitey. I tried to be respectful though. I realise he was probably not directing that statment about bullying at me now. つがる, please try not to bite the newcomers so quickly. --IWI (talk) 22:48, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, I was aware, in edit conflict, yours is okay IMO @ImprovedWikiImprovment CM-Public (talk) 22:50, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Sigh....my good faith attempts doesn't go well, they are now a confirmed sock. It seemed never gone well :/ CM-Public (talk) 23:02, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
