Hi QuietHere. This is my first time posting on a Talk page, so apologies if I'm using it incorrectly. I wanted to ask about your edits on the album titles - Alabaster Deplume's GOLD and Come With Fierce Grace. I used the capitalization that the artist uses for these titles. Wasn't sure if that should be ignored. Thanks! FicusElastica2 ( talk) 21:21, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

@ FicusElastica2 MOS:TMSTYLE dictates that stylizations like that be used in the lead of an article on the subject only, and everywhere else must follow Wikipedia's standards of capitalization and other grammar. e.g. If you or anyone else were to make an article for Gold then you could put "(stylized as GOLD)" or "(stylized in all caps)" at the start of the article, but everywhere else it should be written as Gold.

And don't worry, this is a perfectly acceptable use for a talk page. I always appreciate new users who are willing to ask questions. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 21:34, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

I learn something new every day. Thanks for taking the time! FicusElastica2 ( talk) 21:39, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed you added a primary source needed tag to this article. It survived an AfD brought by you only recently. I didn't participate in the discussion but did try to find sources (added one) and it's pretty thin.

This artist has been inactive for some years making it unlikely new sources will emerge. What's your hoped-for outcome from adding the tag now? Oblivy ( talk) 10:28, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

@ Oblivy Wasn't really thinking much about it. Just left it because of the number of sources to their personal website hoping someone might dig somewhere that I didn't before and find something useful. I dunno, I think I was just looking through old AfDs and dropped it for no real reason. I still disagree with that outcome (NBAND#5 is the bane of my Wikipedia existence) but there's not much I can about that so I may as well suggest edits where they're still needed. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 10:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. That's how I kind of figured it went. I'm not sure it will work, considering the sporadic edit history of the article. In situations like this I feel like those tags become pointless, and I do boldly remove them from time to time but usually only if there are multiples making the article hard to look at. Oblivy ( talk) 12:25, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

@ Oblivy That's fine. I don't disagree that it'll probably be mostly ineffective so if you take it off for that reason, I won't complain. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 21:06, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft does not appear to indicate which of the musical notability criteria is satisfied. If at least one of the criteria is satisfied, please revise this draft appropriately, with a reliable source, if necessary stating on the draft talk page or in AFC comments which criterion is met, and resubmit. If the subject satisfies general notability, please also indicate on the draft talk page or in AFC comments when resubmitting.

You may ask for advice about the musical notability criteria at the Teahouse.

This draft appears to be too soon because the album has not yet been released. Please resubmit with reception information and other details after the album is released.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Hellmode and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, QuietHere! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Robert McClenon ( talk) 04:54, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

I'm here because I don't want to keep leaving edit summaries and make it look like an edit war so hope you don't mind. It has been more than myself that has claimed this to be an unreliable source ( [1], [2], [3]). Removals have also been done by others. In fact, more than 400 have been removed in the last few weeks. CNMall41 ( talk) 17:41, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

@ CNMall41 Not the most conclusive discussions but sure, if that many people agree that it's likely unreliable then keep doing what you're doing. I've never argued against that aspect. My point, however, is that you and others are leaving behind heaps of unsourced material, and I find that makes Wikipedia worse than relying on a source that is apparently questionable. If you're going to mass-remove a source, then something needs to be put in its place. A bunch of blank table cells or {{ cn}}s don't help very much. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 17:48, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

I completely understand that and please know that I struggle with the same. I attempted to find better sourcing for these when I started removing but came to burnout and felt better to get rid of the spam than spend months finding replacements (I believe there were about 500 when the most recent discussion started). So yes, I do get your point. Now that they are all removed, it will be easier to add a better source when I see them pop up and hopefully others working on music projects are able to add back better sourcing. -- CNMall41 ( talk) 17:51, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi QuietHere, would you mind if I upmerge the articles in Category:Future Classic mixtapes to Category:Future Classic albums? There is no scheme for mixtapes by record label (or even by artist) and the parent category isn't heavily populated as it is. Thanks. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars ^{Talk to me} 18:19, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

@ Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars thanks for asking first. I actually brought up a related query here because I think the tree can be filled out much more than it already has, so I would ask you to hold off until there are some responses to that. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 18:38, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I will ask you to not engage in a edit war. Two different users didn't support your version [4] and [5]. Lee has never released anything on his own, he is producer and arranger who works for other acts. This CD is promoted as the debut album of a three piece project [6] on their fb page [7] and here in this article by journalist John Robb [8]. -- Spadebru ( talk) 16:52, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

@ Spadebru But that's clearly not true. There are five albums on Lee's Spotify page. The way you wrote it is misleading and the way it's written now brings needed clarity to the matter. The issue is solved, we can move on. QuietHere ( talk | contributions) 22:21, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

And if your issue is with the inclusion of the chronology section and undue weight, I'd recommend bringing that up at WT:ALBUM or some similar venue since the discussion could have further reaching implications and needs a stronger consensus than just a couple editors.
