This page was updated to address notability and COI issues. Dimensionzero (talk) 01:27, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Given that you made most of the edits, how does that address the COI issue? —C.Fred (talk) 02:34, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Additionally, just changing username, as Dimensionzero indicated he would do here, does not eliminate the COI. User:Jackfrostbite is the same user as User:Dimensionzero. While the glaring username issue is no longer present, the question remains of whether he's just a fan or is connected with the band. —C.Fred (talk) 03:07, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I am not personally or financially connected to the band. Just a fan learning how to use Wiki. Hense, the old user name.Jackfrostbite (talk)

Please tell me how my wiki article is not a "Neutral Point Of View" and I will update to comply with rules.Jackfrostbite (talk)

[edit] References.

What would you like to see referenced that isn't? Public Enemy and the Revolverlution album is referenced. I can link to press articles if you would like.

Jackfrostbite (talk) 02:57, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Exactly! Articles about the band (not press releases, but reviews and articles) are reliable sources. —C.Fred (talk) 03:08, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Reviews and articles have been added.Jackfrostbite (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 04:37, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

If you want to include reviews, include links to the reviews. Do not include excerpts from reviews carefully chosen like advertising cutlines in a concert ad. --Orange Mike | Talk 04:53, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Originally I didn't include any links to any press. But then C.Fred said I should link to them for references. So, you want me to include references but not use anything from those references? Please explain.Jackfrostbite (talk) 15:56, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

The reviews are good for establishing that the band has some attention. But the way you were quoting from them in the article, as I said, made it read like an ad for the band. Notability isn't about whether the band is good or not; it's about whether the world has taken note of the band's existence. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:08, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

Notability (Music) states "11. Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network." "Live In Excess" was placed in rotation in 2001 on many national commerical major radio stations.

That would certainly fit the bill, but there need to be reliable independent sources that confirm that. Right now, the only reference on the article is the band's own web site. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:15, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
