I've been thinking of writing a piece for The Signpost about Christian music on Wikipedia. Could I interview you at a future date and include that in the piece?-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done) 15:07, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
Okay, I'm working on that Signpost piece. Below are the interview questions. I can respond with more detailed questions if there's an area you want me to get deeper into.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done) 04:10, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
What prompted you to become a Wikipedia editor?
The amount of incorrect information on Wikipedia. One day I pulled up Wiki to look up some information on a song, and the information supplied was unreliable, so I thought I would create an account to help better music articles.
What motivated you to become a member of WikiProject Christian music? What kind of Christian music-related articles do you like to work on?
I saw the lack of detail and coverage under so many Christian music articles. I enjoy working on the WOW series, and popular artists at the moment such as TobyMac, Francesca Battistelli, UNITED, etc.
Do you contribute to any other subject areas on Wikipedia?
I primarily work on Pop music articles, along with Christian music articles, and I sometimes venture into editing the Just Dance series.
What would you say are your favorite contributions as an editor? [Your answer doesn’t have to be limited to the Christian music project]
Adding missing information to articles, like release dates, changing out templates, track listings, and researching for information to add to articles.
Does your WikiProject collaborate with any other WikiProjects? What are some of the intersections of Christian music with other subject areas?
Not to my knowledge. Christian music doesn't really affect any other music articles, unless it's a cross–over situation like with Carrie Underwood.
Has your project formed any special workgroups or task forces?
I haven't joined any at the moment, but I would like to someday.
What are WikiProject Christian music's most pressing needs?
Expansion, whether it's under an artist's article or a musical article. For an artist, there isn't much information available on them such as birthdates, birth places, or background. For musical articles, things like critical reception and background are especially lacking.
What would you say are some of the most pressing issues for Wikipedia as a whole?
More experienced editors helping and welcoming newcomers, rather than biting them, and showing them pages to build their editing skills instead of assuming that they are disrupting/vandalizing on purpose. This especially on Pop music articles.
How can a new contributor help the WikiProject today?
By trying and doing their best at editing at Wikipedia.
Any other final comments?
You can read the final version of the interview piece here.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me | See what I have done) 04:36, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi FanofMusic,
Per your edit summaries on why you reverted multiple edits regarding why " Inside Out" and " All We Know" are not singles, you haven't given a source saying that the two songs are NOT singles. Here's a few reasons why those two songs are actually singles:
— SomeoneNamedDerek ( talk) 17:43, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
@
SomeoneNamedDerek:
Per your understanding, any song that iTunes releases that has the tag - Single
, is a single. Not all digital releases are a single. It is just a tag that iTunes adds to stand-alone releases. Ex. "
Activated", "
Better When I'm Dancin'", "
Mercy", etc. have been released to iTunes and many other digital retailers, but are not commercial singles, only buzz/promotional singles. And no, a song being released worldwide and having a single tag does not make it a single. I never said "All We Know" isn't a single. There is actually a good chance that it will be released as a commercial single due to it's digital chart performance. Read
Wikipedia:Promotional singles. Look at the very first description of what makes a song a single: Serviced to US radio with an official radio add date. There has not been a radio release date for either "Inside Out" or "All We Know" yet, according to
FMQB or
AllAccess. A publication noting a song's existence does not make it a single. However, the Music Times and The Nocturnal Times refs do state the "follow-up to 'Closer'", but they use future tenses about an actual single release. The first four refs you have supplied do not explicitly state that there is an official impact date as a single, only that a digital single has been released. Only one out of the last five refs you supplied is even reliable. Yes, I am aware of reliable sources, but again, a mention of a digital single being released does not imply that it is a single.
