Hello, I'm JalenFolf. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Andy Duncan (musician), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Jalen Folf  (talk)  18:31, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia policies
Hi Andy, I just wanted to make you aware of a couple of Wikipedia policies. Firstly, you can't just copy and paste biographical details from other websites – that's a copyright violation and illegal, and can be deleted immediately from Wikipedia (see WP:COPYVIO). You have to write the articles in your own words. Secondly, the information has to come from sources that are reliable and independent. The information you have provided to create articles about OK Go members is provided by the artists themselves – it has to come from sources that are not the artist's social media, not blogs, and not biographies on streaming websites... it needs to be from newspaper articles, or established music magazines, or reputable online music websites with professional writers.

 * As an addendum, please familiarize yourselves with our notability guidelines before creating articles. Since you're interested in creating articles about musicians, you should also take a look at WP:MUSICBIO, which establishes that we do not create articles about musicians known only for their work with one band, as well as other criteria that we consider when evaluating music- and musician-related articles. If you have any questions, feel free to bring them to the teahouse where experienced editors will be happy to answer them. signed,Rosguill talk 22:16, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Andy, Alchetron is not a reliable source... it's a Wikia with information supplied by its users. And it still doesn't address the issue that the indformation is copied word-for-word from there. Richard3120 (talk) 23:30, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Note that Alchetron is a WP:MIRROR; it's a simple copy of this page before it became a redirect. There is specific attribution back to Wikipedia on that page. As you note, this still cannot be used as a reference. Kuru   (talk)  01:55, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Andy Duncan (musician). Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you.
