Most people who know what they're talking about - including Deep Purple themselves - never considered them a heavy metal band at any time in their career. Same with Led Zeppelin...

I realize this is a delicate, odd and complex matter, but I'm wondering over the lack of consistency when it comes to pop/rock artist Tash Sultana. In the introduction, it says "Tash Sultana (born 15 June 1995) is an Australian singer-songwriter...", then "Sultana grew up in Melbourne, and has been playing...".
Under 'Career', it first states "From 2008 to 2012, Sultana was the vocalist of the band Mindpilot...". But in the next paragraph, suddenly it changes to "In the same year, they won...", and from then on it's they/their/them.
I'm not disputing the artist's wish to be called "they", I'm just confused over the sudden change from singular to plural from one paragraph to another.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at
Thief (film). Your edits appear to be
disruptive and have been or will be
reverted.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. I am not sure what you were trying to achieve here. Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources is very clear: IMDB is not a reliable source. You've made 87 edits under this account, so I could understand it if you don't know this, but that makes your rude tone all the more remarkable. Drmies ( talk) 14:22, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Notodden Blues Festival, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Peter Green. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello, I'm
Sundayclose. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article,
Klaatu barada nikto, but you didn't provide a
reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to
include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at
referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you.

I have reverted the changes that you made to Elaine Joyce. I noticed that you added no citations to the text of the article, while your edit summary said
Birthdate is the same everywhere, and most sources say she's born in Kansas City, Missouri; https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0431519/bio, https://www.thefamouspeople.com/profiles/elaine-joyce-44109.php)
Neither of the two web sites that you mentioned in the edit summary is a reliable source for use in Wikipedia articles because both are WP:USERGENERATED.
With regard to a date of birth, in addition to Wikipedia's basic principle of citing sources ( Wikipedia:Citing sources), a special need for citations applies with regard to elements of a biography of a living person ( WP:BLPPRIVACY). Therefore we need at least one credible source to include a date of birth for Joyce.
With regard to the place of birth, the cited article from The Post-Crescent quotes Joyce: "I was born in Cleveland, where I stayed until I was three. . . ." Something more than content of user-generated websites will be needed to replace Cleveland with some other location. Eddie Blick ( talk) 02:06, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for
your contribution(s). However, as a
general rule, while user talk pages permit a small degree of generalisation, other talk pages are strictly for discussing improvements to their associated main pages, and many of them have special instructions on the top. They are
not a general discussion forum about the article's topic or any other topic. If you have questions or ideas and are not sure where to post them, consider asking at the
Teahouse. Thanks.
