Your recent edits

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. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also 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) 19:43, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Tip

You don't have to sign your edit summaries - in fact, you can't; it just shows up as four tildes. Happy editing! Tanthalas39 (talk) 16:03, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

The Four Lovers

I am reverting your argument with the author of a source used in this argument. If you have a reliable source to the contrary, cite it. Until/unless you provide such a source, your edit must be reverted per WP:V. B.Wind (talk) 02:19, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

• I see you've provided sources. That's fine as they seem to be reliable ones per WP:V, at least on first peek. Please leave the arguing with the source to between you and the source. Thank you for your understanding. B.Wind (talk) 02:21, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Frankie Valli

Darling, I meant no disrespect. Had no idea they were actually known as "The 4 Seasons", especially since the wiki article has them with the word spelled out. Also, the CD titles were uber hard to read, but if that is actually how they are published, then my bad.

I do wish you hadn't trashed all my edits, though, as some of that article was indeed very poorly written.

Thanks for the info!

Hello! I didn't actually use the word "scored", as I think that's a stupid word to use unless you're referring to a game.

And really the only problem with the titles was the haphazard capitalization and all-caps all over the place. Very confusing, and not correct grammar at all. Again, though, if that's how it's printed on the actual albums, then it's correct, and I guess those who printed the albums weren't all that good at grammar. :)

Also, I'm not trying to be a bitch, but I wish you would've typed my name right. :( I'm not calling it out to be mean, I'm just always disappointed when people type my name incorrectly on here...

Bouncehoper (talk) 02:36, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, dude. I do get "hopper" a lot, but I'd much rather conjure up the image of a hopeful person than a frog. :)

Wow. I honestly never thought of it like that. That's an excellent point; reminds me of e.e. cummings. Why didn't I think of that? Wow. Thanks.

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Tommy DeVito (musician). Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:46, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Tommy DeVito (musician) shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block.

If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly. Bbb23 (talk) 00:00, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

As stated, in essence, on Bbb23's talk page, the lack of effort on anyone's part to accept/verfiy the truth about a date like Tommy DeVito's birth year over the burdensome rules of Wikipedia borders on tragic. Individuals point out a truth and have to go through all sorts of machinations because another individual plays "god" with these rules. Heaven forbid, that individual would do a little research on his or her own.

Now, not every "truth" is in fact true, and, Wikipedia's rules play an effective role in monitoring and helping to correct such information. It is a dilemma for people like myself, I admit. I'm not perfect, but I do know some things that are irrefutable. Unfortunately, there's no room for that here. Why do any research when a sledgehammer suffices?

November 2012

Hello, I'm Widr. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made to Frankie Valli, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Widr (talk) 06:12, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I removed my edit. Widr (talk) 07:13, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank you as well. I do appreciate it. Bbrownlie (talk) 15:16, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Four Seasons discography, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Candy Girl and Marlena (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 16:04, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for this. I'm still learning the ropes, if you will. I see exactly what you mean by the hyperlink misdirecting towards a disambiguation page. Certainly, what I would not have intended. Bbrownlie (talk) 17:11, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

The Four Seasons Story

Noted, but on the record the title is "the four Seasons Story" which is a bit ot a mish-mash, possibly due to the specialised font used. When you changed it to "4" you broke the link from the Four Seasons discography, so it was fortunate I went back to look at it.Delangle9 (talk) 15:02, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

FOUR SEASONS

Hi!

Just saw your comments on my page. Definitely agree…the more details the better. My only impulse for not putting dates in was that a lot of the legacy groups tend not to, but I do understand the usefulness here, especially in terms of the sheer volume of work, and the confusing nature of the early recordings.

I say go for it!

all the best
