Good, but...
The whole article needs to read more encyclopedic and neutral. Right now it reads like a big press release or official biography that could have been copied from elsewhere on the web. Proper citations for everything will be needed for this article as well in order to be of feature article quality. -- CJ Marsicano 17:38, 2 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Overall, it was taken heavily from the official bio, largely because it was nearly impossible to find ANY history of the band from anywhere else. Help is needed to make sure the article does fall into the encyclopedic guidelines of Wikipedia, and any help assisted by anyone would be greatly appreciated as I try and tell this incredibly influential band's story. Also, the main reason no sources are given is because the main source is blacklisted for reasons unknown. I am trying to have it allowed. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Spam_blacklist#plasmatics.com LuvataciousSkull 17:55, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

B-Class Quality?
I've added a B-Class stub to the article since I've added so much information to the article, images, and cleaned up some of the language. I will shoot for an A-Class rating in a week. LuvataciousSkull 01:15, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

References?
OK, the subject of the lack of references is perfectly valid, and I would be more than happy to include them. The main problem, though, is that the website that these references can be found is, for some reason or another, blacklisted. This, despite the fact that the site is perfectly fine. The topic can be found here:

The site may not deserve to be on the spam blacklist, but as it's essentially a storefront for Plasmatics merchandise I question its value as a reference. It does not reference any of its claims, and is certainly not NPOV (for example the section relevant to the Milwaukee 'assault' begins "The jackboot response from the establishment came down hard just 2 days later when Wendy was arrested and brutally beaten by Vice Squad police officers after a performance at The Palms Nightclub in Milwaukee.") I think a reliable source needs to be found. Tuskah (talk) 04:15, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

I've removed the phrase "and was seriously beaten in Milwaukee" from the opening paragraph. This statement was unreferenced and the closest I could find to a legitimate reference was an uncited AP report here that states the jury cleared all six officers of wrongdoing.Tuskah (talk) 06:39, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I've nominated the article for a POV-check, as my previous edit removing an claim of police brutality was restored, despite that fact that a site referenced by the article mentioned above states that Wendy lost the case and "Jurors ruled that Ms. Williams was not sexually assaulted, that police were within their rights to arrest her and did not use excessive force or violate her civil rights during the Jan. 19, 1981, arrest." This clearly contradicts the statement made in the article. Also, that same reference includes details of Williams sentence for assaulting a photographer, which is not mentioned in the article. This article reads like a fan site, and I think needs considerable editing to conform with Wikipedia's policies regarding NPOV and verifiability. Tuskah (talk) 04:15, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Article is plagiarized.
The biography section of this article is lifted verbatim from the DVD "10 Years Of Revolutionary Rock 'N' Roll" by the Plasmatics. On the disc the text is spoken, and whoever actually placed that here simply transcribed it. The DVD is copyrighted in the year 2006 by Pandemonium Merchandising LLC, and as such the entire article needs to be rewritten. —comment added by Realkinglion (talk • contribs) 19:14, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
