Talk:Peavey Bandit

I like these amps and have owned many over the years... Got tired of always having to answer the same questions, so I figured I'd try to start this page. If you have additional info or can correct any of my mistakes, help is greatly appreciated, thanks! GuitarNerd1369 (talk) 05:17, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for the help with this, but PLEASE DON'T DELETE major portions of this content without at least checking with me first! It is a work in progress... You may not have heard of a "Redstripe Bandit" or a "Blackbox Bandit", but I have, and if you Google those terms, they do come back with relevant search results (okay, maybe the term "Codpiece" Bandit can go away... For now! lol) GuitarNerd1369 (talk) 07:02, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've left a note on your talk page. There are no reliable sources for "Gunsmoke Bandit," not even in Google: see this. "Redstripe Bandit": this. "Blackbox Bandit": this. Forums.peavey.com is simply not a reliable source. Sorry, Drmies (talk) 18:20, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but it does not appear to me that your edits are based on good faith.... Look at the Wikipedia entry for Fender Champ, a similar guitar amplifier. That is what I used as a template. The reason I started a Wiki entry for the Peavey Bandit is because there are many different models, and very few people seem to know which is which. The details of the different models are crucial to the entry. Making this information available on Wikipedia seems entirely within the scope of existing Wikipedia pages for similar amplifiers. References for the features of the different models are available in detail at Peavey.com in the archived manuals: http://www.peavey.com/support/searchmanuals/archived.cfm?page=B Of course, they do not show up as hits in Google, but they are publicly available if you know where to look. BTW, Nicknames such as "Gunsmoke" or "Redstripe" are difficult to provide references to, but in my experience as a Wikipedia reader, that does not warrant deleting entire sections of content, at least it has not in other Wikipedia articles for different guitar amplifiers. E.g., Music Man (company), Mesa Boogie, Marshall Amplification, etc. Since I am new to Wikipedia, I am still learning how to insert references, but it is frustrating to find that you kep deleting my content. Please just tag the article for lack of references, or edit the offending wording, but please do not delete entire sections. Thanks. GuitarNerd1369 (talk) 06:20, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
