Talk:Lazer Lloyd

Untitled
Hi - In regard to information on the Lazer Lloyd page, let's discuss please before changing things. I have just had a chance to look it over and I corrected some info here to make it more accurate but that info was changed back. Lazer has personally asked me to improve the accuracy of the page based on information he has given me. I have not finished going over it yet. So let's all work together on this :) Thank you so much.

I am adding more references on the top paragraph - i did not have time to reference everything but please do not change it back to saying Lazer Lloyd is a blues musician - this is not accurate - Lazer Lloyd is an Americana singer/singwriter who performs many different sub-genres of Americana as defined in Wikipedia - folk, rock, blues rock, blues, roots rock, alt country as well as psychedelic rock, inspirational ballads, jazz etc. Thanks so much!

I took off the birthplace and birthdate at the top of the entry because it is repeated on the sidebar and it is not core information about this artist. It is in the early life section as well. The key information at the top is in regard to Lazer Lloyd and who he is as a musician not his birthdate or birthplace or even his Hebrew versus English names. However, since the sentence on his name was there prior to my edits, I have left it there out of respect for the other authors and simply edited it for accuracy.

 * Hi, JJ. Thank you for your edits, but there are a few issues. First off, Wikipedia typically does not allow edits requested or made by the article's subject, as it makes it difficult to maintain neutrality and stay unbiased. Next, the lead paragraph on a solo artist only mentions the genre they are most known for; more detailed genres are listed in the infobox or in the "Artistry" section. You don't have to source them right away, but make sure there are reliable sources for those genres and try to add them as quickly as possible. Finally, the conventional lead sentence for an article like this would be: "[Current legal name] (born [birth name], [birth date]), known by the stage name [stage name], is a [nationality]..." The same information is SIMULTANEOUSLY included in the infobox and the "Early life" section. For an example, see the article for Nissim (rapper), who has a birth name, Hebrew name, and several stage names.
 * I may edit the information you added (move it to other sections, rewrite it to sound less like a press release, etc.), but please do not be offended. Your edits are always welcome, as long as you adhere to the Wikipedia guidelines.--Invisiboy42293 (talk) 20:14, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
