To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}}
on your userpage.

You
[edit]Your edits to You (Gong album) have raised a number of problems. Rather than my just reverting to the previous version, I would like to give you the chance to resolve the 2 issues I have spotted:-
- If they went into the studio to record the album in "June 1974" - how was it released on "7 December 1973" - please resolve this blatant contradiction
- as per WP:RSDISCOGS Discogs is NOT a reliable source - so everything sourced from Discogs needs to be re-sourced from a reliable source, or deleted
Many thanks - Arjayay (talk) 17:43, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
- If @Arjayay: wants to remove everything with a discog reference, go ahead. If you want to revert it all, do as you wish.OutOnParole (talk) 18:18, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
- (edit conflict)I now see you have also made mass additions to Angel's Egg (album) Flying Teapot (album) and Camembert Electrique all sourced to "GAS, Calyx, discogs and their contributors" - None of these are reliable, WP:Independent sources as they are fan-sites, with user-contributions, without editorial oversight and fact-checking.
I, therefore, have had no option but to revert these changes. Please read WP:Reliable sources before editing further, and follow those rules in your future edits. - Arjayay (talk) 18:23, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
