Hey, nice edit to the Hendrix article. Two things you should be aware of when you make great edits like this. One, briefly describe the changes you have made in the edit summary before you click save. That helps other editors see what you are doing in the recent changes and watchlists. Two, get in the habit of using sources. You write, "but Eddie Kramer the engineer on the session says Hendrix bought a secondhand recorder from a street vendor and used this", but the reader has no way of checking up on this. Where did you hear it? If it's a liner note, interview, or whatever, say so and I'll help you add the right reference. Thanks, and keep up the good work. —Viriditas | Talk 02:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field - please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. —Viriditas | Talk 08:57, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
The way you have inserted references to four books like here is not adequate. Please read WP:CITE on how to cite properly. You are essentially just mentioning four book titles again and again over and over. Readers should instead be able to see where particular information can be verified; e.g., though page numbers in specific references. The way you have done it is simply not detailed enough.--HJensen, talk 14:36, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia, it might be a good idea to read WP:MUSTARD if you haven't... most articles/user pages have a discussion page... this is your discussion page. Feel free to reply to this here. By the way, when discussing things on an article's talk page, you don't need to start a new header every time you write something. If you want to reply to what someone has written on a talk page you just put this symbol before the first word of what you write : - I hope this helps.

I haven't read your new edits yet, but I noticed that you inserted a lot of <wiki>[citation needed]</nowike> tags. That is fine, but I don't think you need to have square brackets around the text you think need to be cited. It makes the article appear even more of a draft that it does already. Also, you may want to use the sandbox when editing (or copy the text into another editor). This will enable you to come off with fewer, but larger edits (remember edit summaries) thereby making it easier for other editors to assess what you have been doing (compared with now where you make numerous small edits within short time). Happy editing --HJensen, talk 21:17, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi der mr Jensen the square brackets are there to clearly point out extremely contentious and often unproveable assertion in this article (regardless if they are supplied with references)that are embedded in an otherwise acceptable text. Basically someone needs take most of this out as it brings the article into extreme disrepute and propagates myths and mis-information that has unfortunately, through constant repetition become regarded as fact, despite (relatively) recently researched and publicised, more accurate information. I have no desire to puff up this article, most of my earlier large edits were just my way of explaining the various mistakes in the previous article (not knowing how else to communicate at the time) hence the frequent "or"s a device to juxtapose the less hyperbolic or more rational explanations and sometimes the actual facts to some wild speculation and/or hyperbole. I naively asumed that the many Hendrixc fans at wiki would rush to check out the recent info and when they found it to be verifiable would incorporate said entries into the article. As this suff is quoted (for some unknown reason) on the BBC site etc. it should be a priorty 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. 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.

Thanks for uploading Image:Trackrecs.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion.

In this one case - "Christ"gau, a different site -, I may have strayed into uncited personal opinion in passing (two words only!). How about instead of the wilfully exaggerated "Your edits" and "have been" you restricted yourself to "Your edit" and "has been". If adding two words of possible personal opinion (I think I could come up with a few cites to support this definition) to an article in wikipedia can be condemned as "vandalism" and you apply this universally across wikipedia you have a very busy time ahead of you - eternity springs to mind.Jameselmo (talk) 02:02, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
All of my edits are well researched and usually come with pertinent 'Refs'/'cites' from well respected publications on Hendrix, frequently from the man himself or those close to him,(all will eventually and "soon" compared with stuff that's been here forever), I have included many recently and far more than appear to have been to many of the innacurate or misleading statements still left) NOT from record companies slavishly puffed handouts, uneducated opinion and sensational, lazy rock magazine fluff, they are only corrections to the blatant vandalism, plagiarism, hyperbole, inaccuracy, trivial nonsense etc. etc. in the Jimi Hendrix article, in no-way can this be construed as "vandalism".

I want my stuff off here. My reasoning? I wrote it, I want it off, simple.Jameselmo (talk) 02:31, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello, Jameselmo. Concerning your contribution, Stepping Stone (Hendrix song), a page move cannot be done by simply copying and pasting the contents of a page into a new location, as such a process does not transfer the page's edit history and therefore violates the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). As a violation of the page move process, Stepping Stone (Hendrix song) needs to be temporarily deleted under the speedy deletion criteria so that the page you intended to move may be properly moved in a way that will preserve its edit history. Stepping Stone (Hendrix song) has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. If not, please refrain from editing either the page you intended to move or Stepping Stone (Hendrix song) until the latter has been deleted according to Wikipedia's speedy criterion G6 (non-controversial housekeeping).
If you did not intend to make a page move, then please insert the ((hangon)) tag right below the ((db-copypaste)) tag in Stepping Stone (Hendrix song) and state your intentions on Talk:Stepping Stone (Hendrix song). An administrator will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do. Thank you for your contributions. Daltxn (talk) 19:26, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi. This edit consists of erroneous information and I've reverted it as a result. The area is nowhere near Dairy Road, is accurately called "Upcountry", and the volcano has not been considered active since 1792. I don't know where you are getting your information or why you are making these changes, but they are wrong. Unfortunately, I'm considering removing the rest of your additions to this article based on this pattern. Viriditas (talk) 09:51, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Your recent edits to Jimi Hendrix appear somewhat confused. You accidentally mess up the style (in terms of inline citations), and make up new templates as you go along ("cite LP").

You threatened me,that is a personal attack. You stay cool, you read some. All listed influences had songs covered by Hendrix, including Buddy Guy is going too far, Hendrix never recorded a Buddy Guy song, he only jammed with him once in 1968 after his fame, to include all quoted influences of Hendrix would result in a huge catalog - you want, I can reference.Jameselmo (talk) 18:53, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on The Cry of Love. 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 several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Tiptoety talk 17:42, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
I am not in an "edit war" I am reverting vandalism by gersracing, who is removing referenced work and repeatedly replacing it with POV, which he has been warned about several times and who I have reported.

The three-revert rule does not apply to Italic textself-reverts, reverts within a user's own user space, or reverts of obvious vandalismItalic text, banned users, copyright violations or libelous, biased, unsourced, or poorly sourced controversial material which violates the policy on biographies of living persons. Definition of edit warring Edit warring is a behavior, typically exemplified by the use of confrontational edits to win a content dispute. It is different than a bold, revert, discuss (BRD) cycle. Reverting vandalism and banned users is not edit warring; at the same time, content disputes, even egregious point of view edits and other good-faith changes do not constitute vandalism.Jameselmo (talk) 19:30, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
gersracing is quite welcome to put up his claim - if he can put up a good source and reference, and doesn't remove the properly sourced and referenced material and rfrains from blatant POV. Getting himself a talk page would be a start.Jameselmo (talk) 20:02, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Moon landing. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles nor are such pages a forum. Thank you. —Joshua Scott (LiberalFascist) talk 18:26, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Jameselmo, I just saw what you did to the article in February. Most of your edits were already reverted, and I just reverted the lot of them. I wanted to note that especially this edit and this edit are unacceptable: "blatant POV"? nonsense, it's verified in printed sources. You seem to have a dislike for Miles Davis and Alan Douglas--keep it to yourself, do not insert it into our articles. Finally, your revisions to the text removed a source and introduced unencyclopedic and highly ungrammatical language (note the many run-on sentences). Please be more careful in the future. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 18:02, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
I suggest you create a sandbox page if you would like to experiment. Do not blank an article. Someone might be reading. Here is an example for a sandbox page:
Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you didn't do before saving your edits to Nine to the Universe. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page.

This is a note to let the main editors of Jimi Hendrix know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on March 4, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask Bencherlite (talk · contribs). You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/March 4, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Jimi Hendrix (1942–1970) was an American musician, singer, and songwriter. Despite a relatively brief mainstream career spanning four years, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music, and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. Born in Seattle, Washington, Hendrix began playing guitar at the age of 15. In 1963, he moved to Clarksville, Tennessee, and began playing gigs on the chitlin' circuit, eventually moving to England in late 1966 after being discovered by bassist Chas Chandler of the Animals. Within months, Hendrix had earned three UK top ten hits with the Jimi Hendrix Experience: "Hey Joe", "Purple Haze", and "The Wind Cries Mary". He achieved fame in the US after his performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, and in 1968 his third and final studio album, Electric Ladyland, reached number one in the US. The world's highest-paid performer, he headlined the Woodstock Festival in 1969 and the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 before dying from barbiturate-related asphyxia on September 18, 1970, at the age of 27.
