Re: Thrash metal list
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank for being willing to contribute. Please remember, though, that all content must be supported by reliable sources. Also, for the thrash metal list, the consensus has been that all entries must already have an article on the English language Wikipedia. If those bands do not, please write the article first. One of your entries did have an article, and I was able to find a reliable source for it, so that one was kept. Thank you, -- 3family6 ( Talk to me   &#124;  See what I have done  ) 15:33, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Greetings
 * Thank you for the warm welcome, I am eager to speed my knowledge to other Wikipedia users, specifically the genre of Thrash Metal and its underground counterparts. Thank you for explaining this items to me as I am a new Wikipedia user, but I still have several questions regarding what you explained. My first question is where to find a list of "Wp reliable sources". I was under the impression that an official band page, a primary source, would be considered as an accurate citation. Why is this the case? My second question is how should I go about in the creation of a Wikipedia page for use in this list? Do I need to create an in depth article, or simply a basic summary? How should I add an item to the list if I was unable to find certain bits of information such as a date? I once again thank you for the warm welcome. -unsigned comment added by User:Conconexplosion
 * Primary sources are acceptable as sources of information on themselves. However, regarding things such as genres, we try to avoid using an artist or their label as a source, because genres are often used as a marketing ploy. For a list of reliable, independent sources, see this list. It is not exhaustive, but is a very good starting point. Generally, if a publication has an editorial staff and a reputation for fact checking and accuracy, it is acceptable as a source. User-generated sites such as Metal Archives are not acceptable. Metal Storm is okay if the content was written by a staff or emeritus member.
 * When writing an article, just a basic summary is fine for a start, as long as two or three independent sources, at minimum, are used. One of the bands that you listed exist on the German language Wikipedia, so you could see if any reliable sources are given there.
 * Last, I'm glad that you are willing to learn how to edit on Wikipedia and contribute new content. Wikipedia is slowly stagnating, so we need new editors. I apologize if I came off as harsh. A lot of these list article get some very stubborn editors who insist on adding or removing bands without bothering to learn the consensus on how Wikipedia works, so I can get frustrated sometimes. If you need any more help or guidance, feel free to ask me or editors at the heavy metal WikiProject (which you should consider joining - they're looking to add more active members). was working on improving this list to featured article status, so they could help if your interest is thrash metal.-- 3family6  ( Talk to me   &#124;  See what I have done  ) 19:32, 4 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Okay, here's an example: For Bio-Cancer, I was able to find the following independent reliable sources: Metal Forces, Metal Hammer Greece, New Noise Magazine, Metal Hammer Germany. If you use those sources in tandem with the Nuclear Blast biography, you should be able to create a short article on the band. You can read Your first article if you have trouble figuring out how to start.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me   &#124;  See what I have done  ) 19:46, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
 * And here's another: Insanity Alert - Metal Forces, Metal.de, [Power Metal.de], Salad Days and the Insanity Alert Bandcamp page.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me   &#124;  See what I have done  ) 20:53, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks man! I will be rather busy for a while, so I will try to find sources for some lesser known bands and discuss them with you here first. Another question, is a bandcamp page also a valid source? Thanks.
 * Bandcamp is reliable as a primary, self-published source, which, per policy, can be used as reliable sources for themselves. You would, however, have to show some independent coverage as well in order for the band to be notable.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me   &#124;  See what I have done  ) 16:08, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Alright, thanks. I have created a Wikipedia page for Bio-Cancer that is waiting to be accepted or rejected. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Bio-Cancer_(Band)
 * I declined the submission for now because it doesn't have any independent sources given. Perhaps you could add some of the magazine sources I gave above.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me   &#124;  See what I have done  ) 17:41, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Sure thing! I added a few more, and will probably add a few more details when I have the time.

Bio-Cancer finally has an article
It took a long time, but Bio-Cancer is now an article on Wikipedia. I realize that you aren't active anymore, but I am leaving this note here in case you ever check back in.-- 3family6 ( Talk to me   &#124;  See what I have done  ) 04:02, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
