Hello, I'm Hammersoft. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Mariah Carey (album), 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. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Hammersoft (talk) 21:44, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

YouTube is not considered a reliable source. Please stop attempting to change the album sales without providing a reliable, secondary source to support it. Rolling Stone, which is used to support the 15 million figure ([1]) is a reliable source. YouTube is not. If you are not clear about what a reliable source is, please ask me. I'll be happy to help. Continuing to change this figure without a reliable source is not an option, and can lead to your being blocked from editing. Please stop. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 22:04, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please STOP using that link on YouTube as a reliable source to change album sales figures. It is NOT a reliable source. If you continue to change such figures using such sources you may be blocked from editing. If you don't know what a reliable source is, ask me. I'll be happy to help. --Hammersoft (talk) 22:11, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I’m on the search for the reliable source you requested. It will take me awhile since lots of artists album sales can be exaggerated for publicity and this particular artist’s sales have not been updated in a while. Sorry for the misuse of the sources though. Ironman1p (talk) 22:18, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! Just understand there's LOTS of speculation about sales on albums. This is why reliable sources are so important, and using things like YouTube is a non-starter. Thanks for communicating! --Hammersoft (talk) 22:24, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of best-selling albums by year in the United States. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. There are multiple, reliable, prose articles listing Brooks' and the other band's albums as the best selling albums of the respective years, and none claiming Carey had those. Wikipedia runs on WP:RS and your edits are textbook WP:SYNTH with false information. ℛonherry☘ 03:48, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I just posted a talk discussion on that page, it’s called “1991: Carey vs Brooks”. I shared everything that I felt was necessary to the conversation. Also, the additional source you posted claimed that Mariah had the bestselling album of 1991, so there’s that. I’ll be waiting for your response. Thank you.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that 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. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

The business insider source you added has a photo with Carey’s album as the 1991 bestseller. I guarantee you that is what I found when I clicked on the source. Ironman1p (talk) 01:51, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
