 * Please see WP:V for Wikipedia's verifiability guidelines. Personal accounts are not considered reliable sources of information, and any other sources you've used need to be properly cited. Thanks --AbsolutDan (talk) 01:40, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Dan - I'm not sure what's required. I could start finding citations in newspaper articles, local books, etc. but these are often more unreliable than what I've written. I own the CDs, the Goanna material is already recorded in Wikipedia and my other summarisation attempts to record Rose's considerable importance to Australian music. Unfortunately, I can't find an up-to-date website anymore. Regards, Ian T. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ian T (talk • contribs) 01:51, 18 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I understand that print media may not always be quite as reliable as we'd like, but every Wikipedia article does need proper sources in order to remain. Per the WP:V policy:


 * If you do have some of those sources you mentioned please do add them - they would be a great start, at least. If not, no worries, the tag can just remain on the article for someone else to find and perhaps work on.
 * I can also see the the Goanna (band) article only uses the band's/band member's own websites as sources. That article needs other sources to prove that it meets WP:MUSIC criteria for inclusion. --AbsolutDan (talk) 02:26, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Dan - interesting stuff and very relevant to a lot of other entries I've seen (some with really dodgy and questionable info). I guess I'm more concerned about Copyright infringement than verifiability, though I understand the policy. One of the problems is that a lot of really specialist information (particularly in Australia) hasn't seen print (I do write for print locally as well, but nothing relevant to this specific case).

 * I understand where you're coming from. There's a great deal of information that necessarily has to be excluded here in order to comply with WP:V. Yes, there are many other articles that are lacking sources. I tag them as I find them myself. Feel free to do so as well yourself; the template is unreferenced.
