Please follow Ten Pound Hammer's advice and add references and categories. Having to chase up all your articles occupies time other Wikipedians could use for better things. Please treat other users with the same consideration you yourself would like to be treated with and avoid creating unnecessary work. It should be noted that repeatedly refusing to comply with common-sensical instructions and requests can lead to you being brought to the attention of the Administrators and receiving sanctions as a result.

Hello Ryanbstevens. Content on Wikipedia '''must''' be [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiable]] — [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiability]] is one of Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Core content policies|core content policies]]. Thus, you have to provide [[Wikipedia:SOURCES#Sources|reliable source]] in your articles. Therefore persistently adding content without providing reliable sources is generally considered to be [[Wikipedia:Disruptive editing|disruptive editing]] and may accordingly result in a [[WP:BLOCK|block]] if continued. To avoid that, I kindly ask you a last time to provide reliable sources in your articles in the future.

Proposed deletion of "Relentless"
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article "Relentless", suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- Low-charting song at #15, title too unlikely for redirect what with quotation marks. Relentless (Jason Aldean song) was already redirected.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 06:00, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
- By the way, please make sure to add categories and references to your articles to make them a little more presentable. If you need help with either of these, please let me know. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 19:36, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
- I'll say it again. Please add sources and categories to your articles. I'm trying to help you make a better article, and you seem to be ignoring my advice. Is there a reason why? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 21:02, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
Typo redirect "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy"
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy", by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy", please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 06:10, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
- Any content about this song can go into the previously existing article She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 07:06, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello Ryanbstevens. Content on Wikipedia must be verifiable — verifiability is one of Wikipedia's core content policies. Thus, you have to provide reliable source in your articles. Therefore persistently adding content without providing reliable sources is generally considered to be disruptive editing and may accordingly result in a block if continued. To avoid that, I kindly ask you a last time to provide reliable sources in your articles in the future. Thank you. — Aitias // discussion 16:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Redircting your unsourced articles
On wikipedia all content needs to be verifiable. Unsourced articles are bad, and can end up deleted. You have been creating single sentence articles on songs without adding sources. While I clearly understand you want to help wikipedia, doing what you have done is not helpful. Having a one sentence article about a song is not adding any information that isn't found already in the album article. Accordingly, I have redirecting your unsourced, one sentence articles back to the album article. Have you by chance read WP:NSONGS? It says Most songs[footnotes 5] do not rise to notability for an independent article and should redirect to another relevant article. If you want your articles on songs to not be redirects, you have to make sure that you cite MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT sources that establish the notability of the songs. The fact that some of these songs have charted #1 is a good sign. But I (and no one else) can verify that these songs were even #1 hits without sources. Please, follow our guidelines, add sources to your articles, and ask questions if you don't understand something. If you continue to ignore policy, your articles will most likely continue to be deleted and redirected. Thanks for your consideration.-Andrew c [talk] 16:05, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
