My user name does not represent a company or corporation. Nor is it used in any way elsewhere. It is just easier for me to remember a username that is not a random word. Since I am a big fan of music, I chose this name because the music is counted in bars (8 bars is 32 beats of a drum). I chose this name myself. Thank you for reaching out to me with the concern. This name is original to me, and this account also is solely used by me (as per the instructions above.

I just looked at that, thank you for showing it to me. This has a different name completely as the use of the letter "z" is in there. You can read more about my choice of username on my page.

thank you 8barzmusic (talk) 15:38, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ominateu:, @8barzmusic: It seems that your user name is the name of a band. Here is the url: https://8barzmusicgroup.org/. It seems the band might have recordings posted on Sound Cloud https://soundcloud.com/8-barz. Are you affiliated with this band? In any case, you might have to change your username and this probably should be discussed somewhere. ---15:25, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Lil' Kim

Hello, please review the Lil’ Kim talk page and respond. I do not believe the Lil’ Kim page is a copy vio because the history of the page you sourced from (last.fm) mentioned that they originally copied the Wikipedia article directly in 2006. We license under the Creative Commons meaning that websites are allowed to do this, although technically should be providing attribution which this website is not obviously doing.

Please limit your quotations at Witness: Passing the Torch of Holocaust Memory to New Generations

Wikipedia uses only short quotations, and only if there's no alternative. Articles should for the most part be written in our own words, and quotations used only when absolutely necessary. Wikipedia:Non-free content#Text says "Brief quotations of copyrighted text may be used to illustrate a point, establish context, or attribute a point of view or idea"; "Extensive quotation of copyrighted text is prohibited." Many quotes illustrating the same point, like you have put in Witness, don't clearly follow any of the given reasons to use direct quotes, and I have thus reverted you. Please see the aforementioned page and the essay Wikipedia:Quotations for more details. Sennecaster (Chat) 00:30, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
