Due to your continued behaviour, you have been reported to the Wikipedia Administrators for edit warring and breaking the 3 Revert Rule ([[WP:3RR]]). I suggest you do not make any further edits until the matter has been investigated and resolved.[[User:GoldCoaster|GoldCoaster]] ([[User talk:GoldCoaster|talk]]) 02:58, 1 March 2009 (UTC) |
Revision as of 02:58, 1 March 2009
November 2008
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Who's That Girl? (Eurythmics song) has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\byoutube\.com' (link(s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWN84HIULBw) . If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image or a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks!

Edits to Marilyn article pages
Your recent edits to the Marilyn and Despite Straight Lines articles are contrary to Wikipedia policies and constitute vandalism. You have ignored previous warnings on the Discussion pages for these articles and now appear to be edit warring. If you persist in this behaviour, your account will be blocked from editing. Please familiarise yourself with Wikipedia's policies on Manual of Style and information that should and should not be included in articles. Thank you. 79.66.49.13 (talk) 11:58, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
WARNING
You have continued edit-warring on the Marilyn and Despite Straight Lines pages despite a prior warning made 2 weeks ago (see above). As already discussed both here and on the relevant discussion pages of each article, your edits are in violation of Wikipedia policies. To reiterate what is already on the article discussion pages:
- Despite Straight Lines and Despite Straight Lines: The Best of Marilyn are NOT separate albums and cannot be listed as such. They are the same album, the latter is merely the title given to the CD release in 2008 with some extra tracks on it. This difference is notable in the article but DOES NOT warrant a separate article for each release.
- Various compilation albums that feature Marilyn's singles are not notable and therefore are not to be included in an article. These are details that may be appropriate to a fan site, but not for Wikipedia. Please try to remember that Wikipedia is not a Marilyn fan site.
- The list of Marilyn cover versions is not only not notable but is also unsourced. If any of these songs appeared on record (such as a single or an album) then they may be added to the appropriate article pages. If they were never actually recorded and released by the artist then there is no way to verify the information and it therefore cannot be included in a Wikipedia article.
- The Mr Marilyn.com is NOT an official website (such as one from a record company or management company). The website itself clearly states that it is unofficial. Unofficial fan sites are inappropriate linkage to Wikipedia articles and cannot be used as an external link or as a source for information.
Please familiarise yourself with Wikipedia policies before you make any further edits. If you do not comply with policy and persist in edit warring, the article pages may be protected from editing and your account will be suspended. Thank you.79.66.110.47 (talk) 18:02, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
Recent edits (Feb 2009)
Cherry Red's 2008 release called Despite Straight Lines: The Very Best Of Marilyn is indeed a greatest hits album. It includes 9 tracks (out of ten!!) of his only album, plus 8 tracks such as b-sides, remixes AND a never released before mix of Raining Again (Dub Version). Milli Vanilli also released ONE album, but they do have a Greatest Hits compilation. See link > Milli Vanilli's Greatest Hits
Regading Marilyn covers/Artists who covered Marilyn: I Ain't Been Licked (originally recorded by Diana Ross) appeared as a b-side to his 1985 single release to Pray For That Sunshine. Spirit In The Sky (originally by Norman Greenbaum), Sooner Or Later (originally recorded by Sylvester James) and Ooh Child (originally recorded by The Stairsteps) came out in 2002/2003 as a three-CD boxset of rare and unheard stuff via his former website. It is a fanclub only release, but it's still worth to mention. The song Give It Up was re-recorded by the artists Eric And The Good Good Feeling. It appeared on their 1989 album called Funky. This album was released through Equinox Phonographic Recordings Ltd on Vinyl/Cassette/CD. Smash 'n' Grab's adaption to Baby U Left Me (In The Cold) named Drive Me Crazy was released in 1998 as a single CD through a label called DanceNet. Same with AJB. It came out as a single CD, and a mix was released throughout a compilation. See link > The Compilation
Marilyn's official website is TheMrMarilyn.com. This site started out as a 'fansite' but soonish became being OFFICIAL!! I suggest to visit his website for any other questions regarding the discographies.

- With reference to the Marilyn article page, you have rewritten the page with a totally non-encyclopedic biography. The tone, style, and content of the biographical details you added contravene Wikipedia's policies. Please read Wikipedia's Manual Of Style and other related articles in the Help section before you add/change content to Wikipedia articles. With reference to the above topics of cover versions and compilation albums that have been raised with you by other users, much of this information is inappropriate for an article about a person. Only notable facts should be included in the article and Wikipedia is not a place to include every single minute detail about a subject (this information is more suited to fansites). And in relation to the subject of fansites, the site you mention above identified itself as a fansite and is therefore not appropriate for a Wikipedia article. In response to the matter of the DSL album vs. "The Best of" album, this is indeed the same product but with a few extra tracks included. Since the extra tracks are not additional hit singles in any way, it can hardly be called a "greatest hits" album any more than the original 1985 release of the album was. You will find that many CD reissues of older albums include extra tracks, but this does not mean that they are "new albums" and this album in particular cannot be treated as such. It is appropriate to use the wording "re-released with additional tracks in 2008 as "DSL: The Best Of...", but not to consider it a new volume of work as this is misleading and therefore unencyclopedic. Just because you have seen this attempted on other Wikipedia articles (such as Milli Vanilli) it is not a reason to do so yourself, and since Marilyn only made one album, it is basically aggrandising him to make it appear that he made more.
