Hello, Guitarsoftheworld. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
 * instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 09:58, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Please don't create duplicate copies of articles under different titles, as you did at Sacrilege (NWOBHM) and Sacrilege (Band). Doing so creates a number of problems, such as difficulty in ensuring that corrections, updates, etc, are applied to both copies. If you think that there is a significant likelihood of people searching for an article under a different title, you can create a redirect from the alternative title to the article. However, on this occasion, that seems unnecessary, as in the unlikely event that anyone ever tried searching for precisely "Sacrilege (NWOBHM)", as soon as the letters "Sacril" are typed into the search box, a drop down list including "Sacrilege (Band)" will appear, meaning that the article will be found without the redirect.

Advice about new articles
I see that you have been putting quite a lot of work into the new articles you have been creating, and I thought it only fair to warn you that there is a possibility that your work may be wasted. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information about just anything, and articles are acceptable only if they satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines. In my opinion, there are far too many of these guidelines, and most of them are far too long, making it very difficult for a new editor to be aware of everything that is necessary, but the notability guidelines which are most relevant in your case are the general notability guideline, the guideline on notability of people, and the notability guideline on music. I strongly recommend having at least a brief look at those before you put any more work into the articles. There are many points in those guidelines, but the central point is that a subject is considered notable if it is substantially covered in reliable sources independent of the subject. (For example, a person's own web site is not an independent source, and a user-contributed source such as Wikipedia or YouTube is not a reliable source.) I have looked for sources for the topics you have written about, and I have not been able to find sufficient evidence of notability. To give just one example, a Google search for "Giulio Riccelli" produced YouTube, Wikipedia, Twitter, FaceBook, MySpace, Sacrilege's own web site, etc etc, but little if anything that could be regarded as coverage in reliable independent sources. I am telling you this because if you put a lot of work into articles on subjects which are eventually decided not to satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines, the articles are likely to be deleted, so that you will see all your work lost. My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make (which you will, because we all do) will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Sacrilege (nwobhm), and it appears to include material copied directly from https://www.reverbnation.com/artist_779757/bio.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sacrilege (nwobhm)
Hello Guitarsoftheworld,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Sacrilege (nwobhm) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Okamialvis (talk) 07:48, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
