User talk:Blade0521

Welcome!

Hello, Blade0521, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Help request

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Hello, many apologies for the reverts and the slight confusions. I am new to the Wikipedia community and still getting familiar with how it works. The reason for my revert is because I had added additional sources. It would be nice to have this section reviewed again by yourself as it is a very important piece of information regarding the artist. Thank you very much for all your help! Best regards, Trinity Blade0521 (talk) 03:45, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You've been asked about your connection with your subject, probably because your username contains your subject's name. If you have a connection, you need to disclose it. If you don't have a connection, simply state that you don't.

The album covers in your draft are a problem, since they are considered copyrighted, hence, non-free content. Non-free content cannot appear in a draft in any case and once you have an accepted article you can use album cover art for an article about the album but not an article about the artist. Uploading the album covers to Commons as "own work" was a mistake. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:16, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

thank you so much for your quick response!

My connection to the artist is that he is a very close friend of mine, but not in anyway accustomed to computers and the internet. This is a favor that I am doing for him and he is supplying me with all the materials including the original album cover files. My next move is indeed to create an article for every major album release, so will bear this information in mind. He tells me that he does indeed own the rights to all the covers.

all the rights except for "the unknown". Blade0521 (talk) 04:33, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You will need to properly disclose that conflict of interest. It seems clear to me that you did not follow the links in the template above, and read the relevant guidelines. Please do so. Drmies (talk) 12:25, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Blade (musician) (October 18)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DoubleGrazing was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

YouTube, Discogs, IMDb and Amazon are not reliable sources, as their content is user-generated. Last.fm is a deprecated source and must not be used. These collectively account for half the references, leaving far too much of the information unsupported by reliable sources.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Blade (musician) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Hi there,

Thank you so much for your prompt response to my article entry.

I am completely understanding of your judgement regarding Amazon and last.fm as a unreliable source. I was sure to have deleted those sources a while back but must have overlooked certain areas.

However, regarding Youtube, yes it is indeed user generated, however the content linked as a reference to this article is coming directly from the anecdotes of the artist in question through an official channel using Youtube as a media outlet. So what exactly differentiates a News channel via Youtube and a TV network? What makes one more reliable than the other? Are there ways to manually reference a news channel via Youtube using the same referencing method as a general cable network? Is it a case of simply removing a direct Youtube link as a reference?

Regarding discogs and imdb. They are user generated, peer-reviewed conservative and precise libraries, using similar models such as wikipedia. What could be a more reliable source to confirm vinyl record releases? Discogs is considered an almost scientific reference within the music community. I am also certain to have even read within one of the wikipedia advice articles that it was indeed deemed a reliable source. As it rightly should. Thank you so much for any help or review you can provide.

Best,
