Is CelebMix a reliable source?

I've seen it being used on plenty of GA music related articles, I believe that as yes. Gabrielflorin01 (talk) 21:11, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't strike me as one. First thinghs first, the writer is still finishing is digree in journalism and has written mostly for the magazine of his school, secondly he has in fact writen for NME but it was for the blog and final but not the least anyone can write for Celebmix as long as they are "passionate about celebrities, music, entertainment or YouTubers". They claim "CelebMix has strict editorial standards and all content is reviewed and verified by a team of trained entertainment journalists before publication", but give no names to verify such information. Better to remove it, what GA's have this source?

Reference 57 is missing publisher
WhiskeyRiff doesn't strike me as a reliable source

Unfortunately I couldn't find any other source. Gabrielflorin01 (talk) 21:11, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I found "https://daily.plaympe.com/pnk-feat-chris-stapleton-love-me-anyway-2/". The source is reliable as I mentioned to two other editors. "Play MPE states "Since the official launch in October 2003 over 60,300 users and over 800,700 songs from more than 2,700 record labels, including Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, Sony Music and EMI Music Group, Destiny’s Play MPE® system is the most widely used digital distribution system available to the recording and radio industries." [1]. Various record labels that TRUST the website, including Warner, Sony and Universal. Moreover, Charles DeFranco, who is Warner Records, Manager, Promotion Operations, said "Play MPE is our go-to service for getting our content to reach the radio community. It’s a great product, they provide great customer service and their distribution lists provide excellent reach to expose our artists to a broader audience." General."

@Gabrielflorin01: I added two comments and fixes, please address them.

I also made changes to the article, see if you are ok with them and let me know. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 14:42, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good! Thank you for dedicating your time and energy into this. Gabrielflorin01 (talk) 14:50, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Overall

You can now addrss the changes. You have seven days for it. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 15:18, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MarioSoulTruthFan: Hi! Thank you very much for the review, I think I covered every suggestion. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do. Greets; Gabrielflorin01 (talk) 21:11, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gabrielflorin01: there is one source with more than one publisher, you need to remove the one that is wrong. Who mixed the rest of the album and by the way who mastered the album?

@MarioSoulTruthFan: From what I'm seeing from the album credits, it looks like the entire album was mixed by Serban Ghenea and engineered by John Hanes. Simon Gooding mixed "Walk Me Home", "90 Days", and "Love Me Anyway", Cash Cash mixed "Can We Pretend", and "The Last Song of Your Life" was mixed by billymann. The album was mastered by Dave Kutch at The Mastering Place, NYC. By the way, should I also add a subsection management and legal representation?; Gabrielflorin01 (talk) 05:45, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Add the mixing and the mastering missing, as well as the management and legal representation. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 12:19, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
