I believe the reference should go back to the 2003 citation. Although I know the online list has been updated to the 2012 listing, the placement of Boy was unchanged as was the citation text, and the web page makes no reference to either the 2003 or 2012 versions of the list. So the original citation was in 2003, which was published in that year. Furthermore, your edit implies that it was added to the list in 2012 and a reader would not know that it was actually placed there in 2003 and would be unaware of any significance you mean to impart to its having remained on the list in the same position for 9 years.
If you think it should reference the 2012 placement, you still need to reference the original placement, which was the original cite made by the article. And the cite should be to the original magazine article in any case, which is more significant.

Hi Y2kcrazyjoker4. I reverted your good-faith edit to Manhunter (film) as it seemed to be a simple misunderstanding. Block quotes, which should have a transparent background, are those which stay in line with the article's prose, and are generated by using <blockquote>TEXT</blockquote>. The result is something like this:
I only mention it because sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? But sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Dude here. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Dude, in Los Angeles. And even if he's a lazy man—and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide. But sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But... aw, hell. I've done introduced him enough.
Keeping the background clear means that it doesn't disrupt flow in the article as block quotes are intended to be used as part of said prose. However, a quote box is more of an ornamental thing, boxed off to one side much in the manner of an image; a degree of colour there is useful to enforce their role in breaking up large portions of text, again in the same way as an image would. Given that Manhunter is light on images I felt that retaining the little flash of colour as important to keep the text from seeming too dense. I've clearly rambled on too much here, but I figured it was more explaining than I could manage in an edit summary. GRAPPLE X 19:17, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi there Y2kcrazyjoker4! I was just wondering whether you could help review the 20–20–20 club list I nominated for FL. I understand that you're probably busy, so there's no need to commit to anything and take as long as you need (as I nominated the list less than a week ago). A quick scan through would be great.

I guess you felt too much was devoted to other Sox players? Anyways, I've changed the wording and also added a ref as one was not there before. Zepppep (talk) 16:11, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
For the most part I've stayed out of the infobox discussion so far, but I am interested in participating in the vote. However, I'm a little unclear on one thing: To pick any of the categories as an example, the All-Star selection seems to indicate that a player must have been selected 14 times to have it listed in the infobox. Is that correct or is it actually that the 14 is the limit? That may be a stupid question, but I just wanted to make sure. AutomaticStrikeout 23:31, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Regarding this change, it's a fact well established in the article. Although I couldn't find any reference in the article to RS ranking it the 4th best album of the 90s. Perhaps a revert plus the addition of the RS rank is in order? --Merbabu (talk) 23:35, 26 August 2012 (UTC) PS - if not a revert, then a reword? --Merbabu (talk) 23:36, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
I see your concern. However, in the case you are worried about, it would be strange to refer to someone as "fifth highest" as opposed to the "fifth person to ever lead" or "fifth person to hold the record".—Bagumba (talk) 17:40, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
G'day Y2kcrazyjoker4, I saw you have been improving the article Nexus 7 ever since it was moved from my sandbox. Since you are a major contributor to the article, I want to know if you see any flaws within the article (significant exclusions of info, etc) that need to be addressed. I also request that you be my FAC co-nom in the near future, because you have made significant alterations to the article.

Well,yea its not exactly psychedelic & I won't push it further,but there is a term known as 'heavy psych' applied for fuzzy stoner bands like Clutch,Monster Magnet & many other bands originated from Palm desert,CA.And 'BGWTB' is a very much stoner rock-ish album,what do you think personally?

Hi, i'm the user who has been reverting you edits in the Muse band article, you want to remove the genre progressive metal, and actually metal, because you say that there aren't enough sources, however the problem i have with you is not that i can't found sources, the problem i have with you is that when i go to muse's talkpage: [2] there is a discussion about adding or not adding the genre progressive metal that shows that it, in fact has 10 sources backing it up (plus two that i've found by myself), and you comented in that discussion, you are aware that there are numerous sources to add prog metal, but now, you are removing it saying that it isn't notable ignoring the discussion in the talkpage in wich you participed, I don't know, but to me this looks as if you are acting in harassive way.

hello. How are you. Not sure what your issue is with that size matter. What you did though was totally unwarranted, and you gave no explanation for it.
The size readjust was not done willy nilly, but to make it fit better in that section. You reverted WITH NO EXPLANATION, against WP policy.
The size re-adjustment was done for a reason. It fits now in the section, without spilling over into the next one. So what's the problem, sir? Please leave the edit alone.
I meant well. And the re-sizing was arguably needed. It's encouraged by Wikipedia to try to fit images in subsections, so that they don't spill over into other sections, making it look out of place and disorderly.
So, to be frank, you disrespected by good-faith adjustment for NO reason at all, except "you don't like"...again, against WP policy. You didn't explain anything really. Regards. Gabby Merger (talk) 00:16, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
I took the time to communicate to you, and instead addressing anything now, you just rudely revert, with no explanation yet again. Please stop edit-warring.
Sir, the point is the edit was good faith and you give NO explanation for reverting...you're in violation.
I told you why I readjusted the image. Why are you so against fitting the image better in the section, so that it does not look sloppy going over into the other section? The point is that you had NO WP VALID RIGHT to revert it simply because "you don't like"...
The WP policy is that images CAN be readjusted according to text and according to preferences.
"should not be set to a larger fixed size than the 220px default (users can adjust this in their preferences)"
and
"enough to reveal relevant details without overwhelming the surrounding article text."
There are other things too.
But regardless, what is wrong with trying to fit image more into the section, so that the image does not spill over into other sections?
Why do you have such a problem with that? You want that mini-tablet image to be shown larger I guess. It would be fine IF THAT PARTICULAR SECTION WAS BIGGER. But it's not. But that's all I was trying to do. Why are you so against it? Gabby Merger (talk) 01:46, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

I note you have reinstated your edit to Motörhead's genres, with the edit summary "this is not the way genres are supposed to be written for one, and secondly, "rock and roll" is not backed up by the reference
I agree that the capitalization was incorrect; as Template:Infobox_musical_artist#genre states:- most genres are not proper nouns and should not be capitalized. However, the first word in a list of multiple genres should be capitalized.
However, I am confused by your statement "secondly, "rock and roll" is not backed up by the reference" as there is no reference attached to the genres, whereas there are 96 to the article.
Motörhead's genres are frequently changed, which is why there is the warning in hidden text, not to change them without discussion. There has been much discussion on the talk page, including several references to "rock and roll". To quote just one reference [3] "The music is exactly what you'd expect. We're pretty much set in our ways," Kilmister said. "It's straight-ahead rock ‘n' roll. It is not heavy metal."

Hello Y2kcrazyjoker4, and thanks for patrolling new pages!

Hey,
Was just curious, why do you keep removing the Grouplove logo from the article's infobox. I apologize for restoring it multiple times without messaging you, I am just wondering if there is any other place in the article where the logo could work better. I feel that adding the logo to the article would help better represent the band Grouplove. Would love to hear your concerns.

Hi, I'd like to apologise for my handling of a relatively minor disagreement with you over this article a few days ago. I'm not an habitual multiple reverter and am extremely embarrassed at having resorted to such behaviour. I disagreed with your interpretation and having had a bad day wasn't in the mood to enter into a sensible debate. Childish, and I apologise again for that. I shan't revert your edit again. FWIW, my take on it is that, along with many U2 followers, the reviewer saw Zooropa as the final flourish of the ideas and music that came out of the Achtung Baby sessions, Zooropa coming as it did as an extended EP in the midst of a tour to promote the previous album. From that viewpoint, the phrase "coda" would appear to make sense. Whether technically true or given one's individual interpretation of what the reviewer's ultimate viewpoint was, I thought that at least illustrating what is perhaps a less familiar term to some readers might be useful. Whatever, it's really not worth falling out over. I imagine that we will come into contact again at some point in the future and I hope that this episode doesn't adversely colour your opinion of me going forward. Best regards, danno_uk 00:22, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
Hello! See Talk:Inception for a discussion about mentioning the nationality in the lead section. Since the nationality is disputed, at the very least we should not mention anything in the lead sentence. In absence of that, identifying the language is a proper cultural alternative. TheOldJacobite is another editor that endorses the use of this term. For example, Amour (2012 film) is a French-language film that has a mix of different underlying nationalities.

Would you mind going back and changing all your "number one" to "No. 1" (or similar) for this article? You changed all of them, and this isn't correct when referring to chart positions, etc. I would normally gladly point you to proof of the matter, but the Manual of Styles have changed so much since this article became GA that it would be more a waste of my time hunting this down than anything.
