Just letting you know that I have no problem with your reverting my recent edits on her instrumentation. The only reason I listed some of them is because I've seen other articles for musicians which seem to list every instrument they've ever used (however minor) on their infobox. I didn't necessarily think it was right, but I nonetheless sheepishly followed suit by plucking out everything and anything listed on her album liner notes. Looking at it now, it indeed makes no sense to list trivial stuff like vocals and whatnot because she is primarily a guitarist who plays electric and synth guitar.

Unfortunately, first-hand information isn't usually recommended for use on Wikipedia unless it's been published reliably (see WP:primary sources). Since the only correspondence you've had with Batten is through e-mail, there is no way Wikipedia would allow for that to be used as a source. Anything she's said would have to have been published officially in some capacity, such as a website or magazine. Sucks, I know, but that's how this place works. If e-mails were allowed to be sourced, anyone could start adding stuff to peoples' bio articles and claim that they got the information through an e-mail.

Just linking you to a new Batten interview from Ultimate-Guitar. It probably has a lot of stuff you're already aware of, but maybe there's something new in there. All the best! Mac Dreamstate ( talk) 22:26, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
