What am I doing wrong? WPUNJ (talk) 23:34, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

You're adding superfluous details like the owner/head of the record label by which the album was released. That goes against the purpose of the lead, which is to summarize the article's subject in a concise manner (MOS:INTRO). 𝒮𝒾𝓇 𝒯𝑒𝒻𝓁𝑜𝓃 (talk | contribs) 23:38, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

I’ve always been grown up as an adult. I don’t agree with the inclusion of the northern US without mentioning the southern US since that too much ignores the contributions of the southern US to rock which was very much more crucial to the history of rock than what the northern US had done. Look at where Little Richard (born in Georgia), Elvis (born in Mississippi), Jerry Lee Lewis (born in Louisiana), Buddy Holly (born in Texas), Fats Domino (born in Louisiana), and many more were born and recorded at (Sun Records in Memphis, etc). Bill Haley and in some ways Chuck Berry were born in the north in Michigan & St. Louis, Missouri respectfully. There’s always been more blacks in the southern US than northern US. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TalentedTwin (talk • contribs) 00:29, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

No one is saying "only" the Northern U.S. You are the one inferring that. If you have reliable sources to augment the claim in the manner you have wished, you are free to do so. But your singular focus on this very particular area of the article begs the question of bias. You have no made one mention of "progressive soul," the article's namesake...

The article doesn't say the South didn't breed or originate rock n roll pioneers. It says influential deejays and radio stations in the North were instrumental in transmitting black music and leading it to the greater exposure that would facilitate its transmutation to rock music. You need to get that thru your head. It is stated as plain as day in the article text. The article is not even about rock music per se. So either offer up something reputable and relevant, or stop harping on the same old tangent. 𝒮𝒾𝓇 𝒯𝑒𝒻𝓁𝑜𝓃 (talk | contribs) 02:19, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Here. This is the article text: This trend was expedited by the exposure of young white listeners and musicians to African-American music played by ambitious disc jockeys on radio stations in the Northern United States. Now compare that to anything that you said above and tell me what your point is again. 𝒮𝒾𝓇 𝒯𝑒𝒻𝓁𝑜𝓃 (talk | contribs) 02:20, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Stupid message from FMSky

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. 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. FMSky (talk) 02:37, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
