- @MBAMom01 What specific page would you like to add this information to? Mach61 23:50, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
Cindy Scott
[edit]Thank you so much for getting the Cindy Scott page approved so quickly. It is my first ever attempt at a complete Wiki article. It is a great gift that you are helping with this amazing resource.
You tagged the article with "Some of this article's listed sources may not be reliable." I looked at the source code, and I do not see that any specific sources have been flagged. Is there a way to find out what particularly may be problematic, or are you just making sure that I pondered it all enough?
I'm looking forward to getting some other unrepresented New Orleans affiliated artists on WIKI and I appreciate you wisdom and support. JazzWikiWriter (talk) 20:17, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- @JazzWikiWriter Discogs.com is an unreliable source, as the content on that site is user generated. In fairness, though, that appears to be the only source used in the article which is outright unreliable. I have replaced the banner tag with inline tags for the two Discogs citations in the article. Cheers, Mach61 10:30, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for your rapid and clear assistance. JazzWikiWriter (talk) 16:35, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Miguel and the Living Dead - new article
[edit]Hi,
I removed discogs as biographical sources. I removed source You Tube. In some places in the text, Discogs was used only as a source of records and bands in which the musicians played and play, and as a source of labels. The article in Polish Wikipedia has been available since 2007 https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_and_the_Living_Dead MKutera74 (talk) 21:42, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
This is not a young band, because it was founded in 2001. He is quite recognizable in the areas of independent music with the aesthetics of gothic rock, post punk, death rock and psychobilly. There is no distortion of reality or facts about the band. This is objective information. In this matter, if there are any doubts, I advise you to consult your knowledge and competences with a good expert in the above-mentioned musical aesthetics. He will only confirm that this is not an amateur band, but one that already has a successful musical career. Please find out which bands MATLD played together at concerts and festivals, e.g. New Model Army, Sex Gang Children, The Damned, Clan Of Xymox, The Last Days Of Jesus, Combichrist, Deine Lakaien, Phantom Limbs, Lacrimosa, Nitzer Ebb, Samael, Theatre Of Tragedy, VNV Nation, The Legendary Pink Dots, Suicide Commando, Diary of Dreams, Front Line Assembly, She Past Away, XIII. Století, Lacuna Coil, Blutengel, Me And That Man, Section 25, Corpus Delicti. These are well-known bands in this music and music-related area. The concerts are supported by reliable sources in the article.
According to Wikipedia's rules, the team meets the requirements for publication.
1. Was the subject of many music articles (Polish and foreign) in professional magazines: Zillo, Orkus, Teraz Rock, Machina, Noise Magazine. This is confirmed by the sources in the article.
2. Is a niche band, so it certainly wasn't played on big music charts, but it was played on Polish Radio "Trójka" (for example, songs: Night of Terror and Bonehead) and Radiostacja. His songs are listed on last.fm (if that matters)
3. Has not yet been certified gold, but many bands on the wiki do not have such a status
4. Some concert reports are described on the Internet and in paper journals: Zillo, Orkus, Machina, Teraz Rock, Noise Magazine (mentioned above). The German-language Orkus is one of the most important and best music magazines of this aesthetic in the world.
5. Released two full-length albums, on two independent labels with several years of experience. The first German-Austrian, the second Polish. Several good bands released on Strobelight records: All Gone Dead, Frank the Baptist, Pink Turns Blue, The Last Days Of Jesus, Sleeping Children. The Noise Annoys label mainly releases albums by Polish bands, very popular on the Polish market, but also foreign ones (mainly punk rock aesthetics): TZN Xenna, One Milion Bulgarians, Apteka, Deuter, Variété, U.K. Subs. After several years on the music market, Strobelight Records ceased operations for unknown reasons. Noise Annoys has evolved into a record label and concert organizer [1][1]. Bands whose albums are released by Bat-Cave Productions are also presented: Dezerter, 1984, Wieże Fabryk, One Milion Bulgarians, Totem (see Polish wikipedia), Rozz Williams, Screaming Dead.
6. It is a band consisting of two ambitious, talented musicians who played in other famous bands: Pete - Devilish Presley, Klaus - TZN Xenna, One Million Bulgarians (see Polish wikipedia).
7. He is one of the important representatives of this aesthetic in Europe after 2000, and when it comes to Poland, there is no band apart from MATLD that would play post punk, goth rock, horror punk, deathrock, psychobilly at the same time (they write about it in Zillo, Orkus, Machina, Noise Magazine). Yes, there are several famous bands, but they play classic goth rock combined with gothic metal or dark wave, among others: Closterkeller, Deathcamp Project etc (see polish wikipedia).
8. Was nominated for an award at the Polish concert in Jarocin in 2006, but only won an honorable mention due to the fact that the lyrics were only in English (there is a source confirming this).
9. In total as above. It was certainly appreciated at the largest festival in Europe, Castle Party in Bolków. He played there twice. It's strange that there is no article about this festival on the English-language Wikipedia!
10. This team was not in the media. Only brief mentions of festivals on regional television and concerts in various countries. This will be difficult to verify.
11. It was thanks to Noise Annoys in Poland, the band was played on Polish radio "Trójka", "Radiostacja" and was the subject of music articles in Teraz Rock and Noise Magazine. Thanks to Strobelight Records, he gained attention mainly in German popular music magazines (Zillo and Orkus).
12. Miguel and the Living Dead only appeared on a few Polish radio programs Trójka and Radiostacja. He didn't appear on TV programs, apart from short interviews covering music festivals (in Polish and English).
I'm also adding information from discogs, because it is a very reliable source, especially when it comes to the line-up, connections, albums, etc. Please see Carcass, discogs is also quoted there. Many concert materials are available on You Tube, but I decided not to quote them.
I have practically all photocopies of paper music articles (Zillo, Orkus, Noise Magazine, Teraz Rock). I can send.
Please approach the article substantively in these musical areas, objectively and seriously. Please also appreciate my contribution. MKutera74 (talk) 17:05, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- @MKutera74 You appear to have applied every single criterion at WP:NBAND to the draft subject, which is unnecessary; the vast majority of bands with Wikipedia articles only meet the first criterion (has sources discussing them). Meeting multiple criterions is not the common standard.
- Please wait for another reviewer to approve or decline the draft, since I don't do re-reviews on demand. I see you have worked on the draft since I declined it, which is promising. Mach61 12:09, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Iamzlatkom (23:10, 19 June 2024)
[edit]Hi Mach61, my name is Zlatko Mulaibrahimovic and I would like to write a brand new article for publication on Wikipedia. I’ve studied and finished Political Science and Mass Communication for my undergraduate degrees. My master’s degree an IMBA (International Master of Business Administration) I completed in 2017 the major being International Business and specialization in Social Media Marketing. I wrote a children’s book which is available for purchase online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Walmart and a few other places. The title of that book is Adventures of TokijoCat a Cat Writer by Zlatko Mulaibrahimovic. I would like your guidance in what would be the best topic of my first Wikipedia article and any tips and trick you can offer as a mentor to me. All the best and hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely, Zlatko Mulaibrahimovic BA, IMBA, TEFL/TESOL, EUROLTA/NLP Chairman, CEO and Founder Treasure Media Publishing LLC --Iamzlatkom (talk) 23:10, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Iamzlatkom Hi, Zlatko. For general advice on how to start writing on Wikipedia, see Help:Your first article. On the specific question of picking a topic, I have the following advice:
- Mach61 01:39, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Make sure that the subject meets our inclusion requirements, which are summarized at WP:42. In short, we require that article subjects have been covered in length by trustworthy sources (news websites, documentaries etc.) that are independent of them. If, after looking for such sources, you cannot find them, you will have to give up on writing an article about that subject, because it will never be accepted.
- Find a subject you are passionate and know a lot about about. You'll be more confident in your writing that way
- Please do not write an article about yourself, or an entity you have a conflict of interest with. Those are almost never accepted.
- Very well and straightforwardly said. Thank your instructions and I will make sure to follow your advice. Hope to talk soon mentor Mach61. Iamzlatkom (talk) 03:14, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Question from CalebMasonAuthor (12:25, 22 June 2024)
[edit]Hi and nice to meet you. I, too, am a jazz lover and play jazz piano. My son Will Mason (Will Mason Music) is a well-known composer and music professor at Wheaton College. His compositions are pretty far out there but he has been well reviewed for his avant garde music. Take care and as I am new I will probably need some help. --CalebMasonAuthor (talk) 12:25, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- @CalebMasonAuthor. Please note that Wikipedia officially discourages creating articles if you have a conflict of interest (in this case, familial ties) with the subject of the article. However, if you are to do so anyways I would recommend that you read Help:Your first article for advice. As someone with a conflict of interest, you will have to submit the article using the WP:Articles for creation process. Mach61 22:10, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. 67.253.22.72 (talk) 22:46, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Hi. Firstly, thank you for your assistance. I am new, but would like to start a wiki page on behalf of someone. How do I go about doing this? Is there a template I can use? --Factfancapricorn (talk) 17:02, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Jesuspaul502 (05:07, 8 August 2024)
[edit]Hi, I am a beginner. Which kind of pages should I edit and which kind of pages should I avoid? --Jesuspaul502 (talk) 05:07, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Jesuspaul502, apologies for the late response. For the most part, it is usually possible for any user, even a very new one, to make a positive contribution to any given page. What matters more is what type of contribution is made; anyone can correct a misspelling, but successfully creating a new article entirely usually takes some experience. Available tasks for editors can be found at WP:Task center, and I would recommend you stick to the activities rated "suitable for all editors". Mach61 00:24, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I'm really new to editing and stuff so how do I add a link? --フレイム030 (talk) 18:31, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- @フレイム030 You can link a term by surrounding it in double square brackets. So, for example, to add a link to "Lebron James", type
[[Lebron James]]
, which produces "Lebron James". More information can be found at Help:Link Mach61 18:59, 12 August 2024 (UTC)- Ok.. Thanks! フレイム030 (talk) 18:18, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
Question from Frtgreenhills (18:44, 15 August 2024)
[edit]Hi, I do not necessarily want to edit an article myself, but I believe more context and information needs to be added to in a wiki page I viewed recently. I read a completely whitewashed page about an individual I have learned more info about over time that failed to present who this person was. How can more context be added to this page of this individual? To provide readers like myself more information about this person. --Frtgreenhills (talk) 18:44, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Frtgreenhills Could you tell me what specific page it is you believe needs more information? Anyhow, if you do not wish to
edit an article
yourself, you can add a section the talk page of that article with your complaint. Seeing as you claim this page to becompletely whitewashed
, a post on the neutral point of view/noticeboard may also be justified. Do note that all infortmation on Wikipedia must be backed up with reliable sources, so make sure to provide them in the discussion. Cheers, Mach61 19:01, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
