No lists of artists without a source

[edit]

This is a fundamental issue here at Wikipedia. I was blocked yesterday for enforcing the WP:V policy. Rubbish.

So, discuss your addition of sourced artists here please. E_dog95' Hi ' 17:12, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I checked to see what other articles of this type do, and found that Warner brothers just sticks that information on a separate page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Music_Group_artists Both you and the person you had a conflict with, should've said something on this talk page though. If you feel that list is cluttering up the page, then stick it to a side article. Dream Focus (talk) 00:41, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Empirical Labs

[edit]

Why on earth is that search term redirecting to this page when there's no mention of the manufacturer? Empirical Labs make the "distressor" a VERY popular audio compressor used in recording studios around the world. This reeks of vandalism.

Missing sub-labels & artists

[edit]

It seems this page forgot to include their sub-labels & artists formally. Need additional information about them and also required articles for the sub-labels & artists that tied with Armada Music as well. VernardoLau (talk) 15:02, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

VernardoLau, Please see WP:LISTPEOPLE; there was a more complete list of sub-labels and artists here before, but Binksternet removed them for non-notability. That, and we would prefer a more reliable source than direct from Armada's own artist list. Jalen Folf (talk) 15:26, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

In response to all the attempts at updating the logo, is anyone able to post a non-copyvios version? All attempts by new and COI users so far have claimed own work at Commons. Jalen Folf (talk) 11:58, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, another attempt has been made with no response to this discussion. And again, I am asking for a neutral party to make the upload. Jalen Barks (Woof) 03:16, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As current intern at Armada, how can we get a neutral party to make the upload. Does that not immediately result in COI as we ask people to change it to a certain image for us?
Would it be possible for me to reach out to you over Discord and figure this out together, as of now Wikipedia seems incredibly difficult to figure out even when reading through 100 informational pages on rules. I'd greatly appreciate the help if possible! :) JochemVDS (talk) 09:47, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did a lot of googling and it said that it was important to make known that there's a COI which I tried to do. I apologize for not responding to the talk page earlier, I definitely should have done that.
What would it require for me to change the Logo on the page as well as the information (I put a text below with references outside of our own website as much as possible, not sure what else is necessary as of now, sorry for the confusion and constant changes!) JochemVDS (talk) 09:49, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe I can help here.
There are already several Armada Music logos uploaded to WikiCommons, if one of them is the current one then you can simply use it here.
If you didn't find the current logo there, then you should upload it here and after that you'll be able to use the new logo in this article. Alaexis¿question? 08:46, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
hiya! None of the logos are correct, I talked with legal department and technically there isn't a "creative commons' license for the Logo as it is our intellectual property of the organization. However, we would not take it down from wikipedia as we simply want to have our logo displayed on there. On the upload page it also states a checkbox with "I confirm that this work does not include material restricted by copyright, such as logos, posters, cover art, etc.".
Which it is, but does that mean there will never be an accurate logo portrayed on wikipedia simply because I am doing it under COI, there's no creative commons license? I'm not sure how to understand the rules on wikipedia when it comes to uploading a logo. JochemVDS (talk) 09:17, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not a copyright lawyer but it seems like most simple logos aren't copyrighted and therefore can be uploaded to Commons (see Commons:File:Logo_NIKE.svg). If your legal department thinks that your logo is in fact copyrighted, then you have two options: 1) As the owner of the logo, you can upload it to Commons and release it under a Commons-compatible license or 2) you can upload it to English Wikipedia using WP:NFC process (see Alfa Romeo logo as an example).
I realise that the process is rather intimidating but it's due to the copyright laws and not due to Wikipedia rules. If you need further assistance it's better to ask folks at Commons or Wikipedia Talk:NFC as I'm not an expert in these matters. Alaexis¿question? 11:09, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request edit on 15 October 2024 - Call to change all data that is outdated.

[edit]

Currently all the information on the Armada Music page is outdated, below is information that is more up to date and accurate with sourcing as much as possible from third parties and not Armada Music itself. Please let me know if something else is required, wikipedia is incredibly confusing when it comes to editing. I have linked where the references should go but I am confused on how to insert the references properly....

Armada Music

Armada Music is an independent Dutch record label that primarily focuses on electronic dance music (EDM). Founded in 2003 by Armin van Buuren, Maykel Piron, and David Lewis, Armada Music has been a significant influence in the dance music industry for over two decades. The label is known for its extensive catalogue and involvement with some of the top artists in the dance music scene. Marking its 20th anniversary, Armada produced a documentary series titled "Armada Music: 20 Years Classics," celebrating its enduring legacy and pivotal role in shaping dance music[1].

History

Founded with a vision to innovate the electronic dance music market, Armada Music quickly gained recognition for its quality releases and strategic partnerships[2]. It has propelled the careers of many international artists, contributing significantly to the global electronic dance music culture.

Initiatives and Achievements

BEAT Music Fund

In 2023, Armada Music launched the Beat Music Fund, a major financial initiative backed by Pinnacle Financial Partners, aiming to acquire dance music catalogues with a planned expenditure of $100 million over their two initial years[3]. Notable acquisitions include the entire catalogue of Sola Records and assets from King Street Sounds and Chocolate Puma[4].

Armada Music Publishing

In a strategic expansion, Armada Music formed a new parent company, acquiring Amsterdam’s Cloud 9 Music. This move is part of a broader strategy to diversify and strengthen its market presence, with Armada targeting $500 million in new investments. Armada Music Publishing aims to enhance its offerings in music rights management and broaden its influence across the industry[5].

Awards and Recognition As of December 2015, the label had won the "Best Global Record Label" award for five years in a row at the International Dance Music Awards (IDMA's).[6] Armada received two nominations at the 2014 IDMAs.[7] The Academy of Electronic Music, a joint venture between Armada, Google, Point Blank, and DJ Mag, was the recipient of the 'People's Voice Award' at the 2014 Webby Awards.[8] In 2016, Armada Music was one of the 21 labels nominated for the IMPALA FIVEUNDERFIFTEEN[9] campaign shining a light on Europe's most inspiring young labels. The label received the IMPALA Young Label Spotlight Award.[10] In 2023, the label's CEO was honoured with an Industry Achievement Award, a testament to his leadership and the label's innovative approach[11]. The label also received the 'Stomp Independent of the Year Award 2023' and was named 'Label of the Year 2024' at the EDMAs in Miami[12][13].

Signed artists Artists currently signed by Armada Music include:[14] • Andrea Oliva • Anna Tur • Armin van Buuren • ARTY • Audien • Autograf • AVIRA • Ben Gold • Brando • Carly Wilford • Cat Dealers • Cedric Gervais • Chicane • D.O.D • Eelke Kleijn • Federico Gardenghi • Ferry Corsten • Franc Fala • Giorgia Angiuli • GoldFish • Hannah Laing • Jan Blomqvist • Jess Bays • Joachim Pastor • Joris Delacroix • Laura van Dam • Les Bisous • Lilly Palmer • Loud Luxury • Low Steppa • Lufthaus • Mambo Brothers • Maxim Lany • Miss Monique • Nico De Andrea • Pretty Pink • R Plus • Rob Black • Scorz • Sebastian Davidson • Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano • Tensnake • Themba • Tom Staar • Trance Wax • Will Clarke • Yulia Niko • Zack Martino

 Not done: Unfortunately I have no option but to decline this request because much of the suggested text is of a promotional nature. For example:

Etc etc...
Also, the initiatives and achievement section reads like it consists of press releases. The Awards etc section is also gratuitously promotional.
The text of a Wikipedia article should be factual and free of promotional. Consequently it should not consist primarily of text describing the company's estimation of its own importance, plus press release type material and other promotionalism.
I'm afraid you will need to go back to the drawing board and approach the task from the standpoint that Wikipedia is not a platform for the type of material you have attempted to add above. Apologies, Axad12 (talk) 13:32, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No worries! Are there any parts of the text you'd "validate"? that was I can keep the same tone of voice and reasoning for other chapters and information.
Can you also give me some advice on what to do for the chapters achievements and initiatives, because I'd assume that that would naturally be more press release based information right? especially the establishment of BEAT, Armada Publishing and Awards that were won.
If you are up for it I'd be down to give you my e-mail so we can work on this more accurately, as of now Wikipedia is confusing for me and I'd like to do this task well and proper without any hiccups for the moderators of wikipedia as well as myself.
Let me know! JochemVDS (talk) 14:09, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think the entirety of the text was overly promotional, hence my suggestion that you need to go back to the drawing board. and start again.
Unfortunately I am unable to collaborate on article text as then I would then also have a conflict of interest. Also, I must admit that when editors are being paid to draft article text as part of their job I think it goes somewhat beyond 'volunteering' to assist other people to do their own paid job.
I would suggest that you familiarise yourself with articles for other record labels and some of the relevant policies and guidelines such as WP:RS, WP:PROMO, WP:NPOV etc.
With regards to awards etc I have just had a look at some articles for other established record labels and, to be honest, I do not see any mentions of awards or recognition. I would suggest that you remove the section altogether.
I'm not sure I see your point re: material being "naturally more press release based information". There is absolutely no room for any kind of press release type material on Wikipedia, so if the Beat and Armada Publishing sections are to remain they will need to be completely reframed in neutral non-marketing prose. The present material is pure promo. e.g. a major financial initiative...aiming to acquire dance music catalogues with a planned expenditure of $100 million...Notable acquisitions include... and In a strategic expansion...This move is part of a broader strategy to diversify and strengthen its market presence, with Armada targeting $500 million in new investments. Armada Music Publishing aims to enhance its offerings in music rights management and broaden its influence across the industry[5].
Much of the issue here is that this is an encyclopaedia. Encyclopaedias do not contain info on the way that companies want their initiatives to be perceived, how they wish to present them, what the point is that they are trying to achieve, etc. However, it does seem that the initiatives being discussed are purely matters of internal company policy, and as such are non-encyclopaedic and should be excluded.
My general advice to you would be to draft the article as a (neutrally worded) work of history. The label was set up 21 years ago so there must be plenty of detail potentially to include. How the label was set up, how it established itself, etc., etc. That is how other comparable articles seem to have been constructed.
Hopefully these notes are of assistance. Axad12 (talk) 14:37, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
