Talk:Love Machine (Girls Aloud song)

Arctic Monkeys cover
I seem to remember the Arctic Monkeys' lead singer flipping out and telling his fans to "fuck off" after they started chanting for Love Machine once, but I couldn't find anything about this. Does anyone have any links so I can include it in the article and reference it? Driller thriller 20:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Junk source
I understand the removal of info about Sound of the Underground, it's a case of WP:UNDUE, but I don't understand why musicOMH is classified as a junk source. - Saulo  Talk to Me 04:09, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * JUNK SOURCE fails WP:RS. The source from musicOMH by 'John Murphy' (a contributing editor) is unreliable because there are no qualifications or other indications of reliability presented on either the website or the writer's page. MusicOMH also admits on their website that "we're always looking for enthusiastic music, film, opera and theatre fans who would like to write - regardless of age or location"; enthusiasm to publish articles is not an indication of reliability. We therefore should not be using this source as we are not provided with any knowledge about the writer's qualifications and/or experience. Till  04:28, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Can you revert yourself now please? Till 04:40, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * But musicOMH was listed on The Independent's 25 best music websites, and is linked by BBC to the site's reviews of The Proms (see here, here, here, and here). The site also interviewed many musicians such as Jay-Z and Miike Snow. How is it unreliable? - Saulo  Talk to Me 04:42, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I just explained it. That particular source is not reliable because we are not given an indication of reliability from the creator of the source (John Murphy). MusicOMH admits it allows people to publish articles regardless of their age or location. It does not matter if the site was featured on The Independent's list. It does not matter who the site interviewed. 'Source' does not only refer to the publisher or work (musicOMH), but also the writer of the article and the article itself. If you still do not understand, please see WP:RS. Till  04:48, 16 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, I am kind of neutral here. I have no problem with MusicOMH; I also use it but it should not be used for critical commentaries. You can use it to elaborate Composition. Saulo, for what exactly did you use the source? And Till, may I remind you that this is only a GAN not a FAC? Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 04:52, 16 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I used it as a description of the song's composition, but the way the quote was taken clearly seems like a critical commentary. I can paraphrase if it's needed. - Saulo  Talk to Me 04:56, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It does not matter if this is "only a GAN not a FAC". All information on Wikipedia must come from reliable sources. An opinion piece from a 'contributing editor' of a website that allows anyone to publish an article is not acceptable. Till  04:57, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It does not matter if this is "only a GAN not a FAC". Who told you this? Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 05:48, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * P.S Saulo, yes. Please paraphrase it. Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 05:49, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Who told me this? Wikipedia policy. All information must come from reliable sources. Till  06:02, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * And how is MusicOMH not a reliable source? Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 06:16, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Ugh. Did you literally not read a thing I wrote in this entire thread? Till  06:24, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Dear, I assure you I have read everything. Care to reply to my query (once again even if according to you the answer is already above). With regard to All information must come from reliable sources, how is MusicOMH not a reliable source? Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 06:38, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Because it allows anybody to publish articles on their website. I suppose if the writer is an expert or qualified writer it can be acceptable. Till  06:55, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * So should I conclude that according to you, MusicOMH is reliable but the author is not reliable? Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 07:18, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * In this context it's unreliable. It's not just a matter of looking at the publisher/work (musicOMH). You have to look at the author as well. For example, would you use this? No, because the writer is a 'user' of the site. It's the same with this musicOMH source. The writer is merely a 'contributing editor' with no qualifications. Till  07:46, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Sputnikmusic is unreliable; it is not accepted regardless of the author. You may any FAC reviewer. It can be used in GAs sometimes. However, MusicOMH is accepted in FACs. Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 07:59, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Sputnikmusic is unreliable if the author is unreliable. They have reliable staff reviews there. MusicOMH is unreliable if the writer is not qualified, because they let anyone publish articles and admit it on their website. If the writer is experienced/qualified, it can be used. That is all I have to say on this issue. Till  08:04, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Not at all. Sputnikmusic has never been accepted by FAC reviewers. NEVER! Jivesh 1205 (Talk) 08:05, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
