Reviews

  • Bullz Eye - no credibility: "Online men's magazine"?
  • Hardrock Haven - perhaps a valid website, but not a valid source of 'professional reviews' - to put it in the same list as Rolling Stone is ludicrous.
  • JB Hi-Fi is a retail outlet, so it is not a reliable source. End of story.
  • PureGrainAudio - another amatuer music site.
  • Rave - only claim it has is it's a published (street) magazine.
  • Strange Glue - self-ran website with one reviewer, why should one man's opinion be flashed across Wikipedia alongside the opinions of hundreds of actual professional music critics? It's detrimental to the rest.
  • The Tune - I recently added this to Wikipedia:ALBUM#Non-professional reviews after I observed them admittedly adding it themselves to articles. It should not be featured anywhere on WP, it is a blog.

Long story short, only use reviews with Wikipedia pages, it establishes notability and reliability straight up. All of these also have no wikipedia pages. Please don't question my judgement with "oh you hate JET" arguments, it's a load of crap. k.i.a.c (talktome - contribs) 14:12, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, my sources were legit, Bullzeye is not a men's magazine, the JB hi fi music mag is a critical book from an independent, alternative perspective, and other sources were also professional too. If you don't like the positive critical praise, feel free to add more negative reviews, but in the mean time, please do not vandalise the pro reviews which I have added. If you don't like the band, thats fine, but false claims that the sources weren't professional are incorrect. If u wish to push an Anti-Jet bias, the only proper way to do it would be to add more negative reviews. : ) Feel free to, but please cease vandalising the article, and false-claiming the sources are not credible, and using vague-ites to sway a POV against the band. -Cheers --Aliciocoopera (talk) 23:41, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

From what i have read, u seem to be stretching things, for a supposed expert, and appear to be distorting sources to put the band in a less favourable light. You seem to be playing cowboy, and downplaying certain "professional" aspects of certain reviews, with bias towards larger sources from a negative standpoint, as indicated by the reviews left in. While claiming others as unfavorable and illegal just because u don't like them. Bit of a stretch. --CosmicLegg (talk) 00:04, 1 September 2009 (UTC)--CosmicLegg (talk) 00:07, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
