Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. JD554 (talk) 11:16, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the question you asked at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums [1]. That page is for discussing how to improve album related articles. For a general query such as yours you would be better off asking the Entertainment Reference Desk at WP:RD/E. --JD554 (talk) 11:17, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

COI, references, style and predictions

Hi, thanks for your contributions. Just a couple of tips. If you are writing about something you are involved in, in Wikipedia's eyes this creates a conflict of interest and also can be construed as original research. To keep one's nose clean it behooves to always tag such material with good independent references that confirm whatever it is you are saying. Another thing is to avoid flowery turns of phrase, just stick to the facts. Lastly, although it may seem helpful to hint at things to come, this is disapproved of.
