I've taken it out as spam rather than copyvio as the page you cited doesn't seem to contain any text at all. Now. Probably did then. Not the first time that's happened. Text can go at the first mention of a copyvio here.... It was pure unadulterated spam anyway. Peridon (talk) 20:13, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• Thanks for the information. I recall that the page had information at the time I visited it, from which the copyvio CSD tagging was based. Northamerica1000^(talk) 20:15, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

I just deleted a sentence which was not found in the citation. Also, words like "common" violate WP:PEACOCK.Curb Chain (talk) 00:12, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

I rewrote the sentence as a re-addition to the article, along with the source. In the future, please consider moving sources to the Further reading sections of articles, rather than removing them in entirety. Northamerica1000^(talk) 00:22, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Sure I can consider it. The source should be relevant to the article. Also, I just deleted [1] since the source has nothing the information is supposed to glean from.Curb Chain (talk) 00:24, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello!

Hi there,

My name is Bo Weber. I represent the recording artist The Silver Heart Club. The Silver Heart Club has a distribution deal with Spotify LLC, and iHeartRadio Inc. Both companies wrote me an email explaining that I will need to submit a biography of the artist to Wikipedia, in order for our information to be viewable on the music distribution sites, for Wikipedia is where they stream information about artists from.

I have had trouble with the article being submitted, because of the "subjects notability". This artist has more than enough notability on and off the web.

url here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/The_Silver_Heart_Club

Your assistance or advise on what our options are would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Weber bo (talk • contribs) 22:39, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

• Regarding topic notability on Wikipedia, the notability in itself is based upon Wikipedia's standards. While many topics may be notable per other standards, Wikipedia editors have developed notability guidelines through consensus regarding content in the encyclopedia. Also, per WP:NOTPROMOTION, part of Wikipedia's policy page of What Wikipedia is not, the encyclopedia is not to be used for promotional and advertising purposes. The AfC submission at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Silver Heart Club requires copy editing to eliminate promotional tone and to be written in an encyclopedic style with a neutral point-of-view.

Sources in the submission from VolumeOne magazine and the Tribune Press Reporter are functional to demonstrate notability. At this time, the topic appears to have borderline notability per WP:BAND, and copy editing the entry to base the submission solely upon what is stated in reliable sources will likely increase the chances of the submission being accepted. For example, the source [2] in the submission doesn't qualify as a reliable source, because it's a blog that is largely based upon personal opinion, and its publishers may not have a proven reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Information sourced from these types of questionable sources should typically be omitted from encyclopedia entries on Wikipedia.

• Update: I've created the following article, which is now in Wikipedia's main namespace: The Silver Heart Club (band). If you plan on copy editing the article, please be sure to follow Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, such as WP:NPOV, WP:RS, WP:BAND and WP:V. I've redirected the AfC submission located at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Silver Heart Club to this article. Cheers, Northamerica1000^(talk) 00:01, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello! Mr Northamerica1000 Would you please be kind enough to spare some of your valuable time and see this page as well as the related article's history. Since you are a renouned editor on wikipedia, I do hope you can improve this article very well. 121.245.17.96 (talk) 15:42, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

The Silver Heart Club

Wikipedia is extremely confusing to someone like myself who has little experience with the layout, and rules. Thank you for helping me. From reading the notes you had written, it seems as if you have revised the biography and approved your edits? I am satisfied with what is there. I am confused with what you were saying with "copy edit", but if there is no further action that is needed from me, let me know. Thank you.

If possible, could you put "Photo credit: Calinn Weber" as the photo caption?

Thanks again! Very much appreciate your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.124.5.136 (talk) 01:09, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

• Hello, and thanks for the response. "Copy edit" refers to editing text. I've added your requested photo credit above to the article and to the description at the Wikimedia Commons page for the image, located at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Silver_Heart_Club_(2013).jpg. The Silver Heart Club (band) article is presented in an encyclopedic style with a neutral point-of-view and non-promotional tone, which is very important on Wikipedia. Cheers, Northamerica1000^(talk) 01:37, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Photo credits in articles are not permitted by per WP:CREDITS. I have removed it and updated the image information page with this edit.--ukexpat (talk) 01:50, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing this, Ukexpat, and for providing the Manual of style link regarding this. Struck part of my comment above. Cheers, Northamerica1000^(talk) 01:55, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

I also moved the article back to The Silver Heart Club - the disambiguating parenthesis is not required as there is no other article to disambiguated from.--ukexpat (talk) 02:00, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Yep, I noticed that. I figured the "(band)" part would help to distinguish that it's a band, rather than a club. I'm fine with the current title. Cheers, Northamerica1000^(talk) 02:04, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

• Hello: I don't have much interest in the Ram Prasad Bismil article, but I've performed some basic layout clean-up, formatted a source in the article with the cite book template and added a portal. Northamerica1000^(talk) 19:14, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
