Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Iain Archer, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 00:31, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Having a Grammy nomination is not notable enough for the first sentence. If you want to, add it toward the bottom. Everything else you added was unsourced. Including the genre. Jim1138 (talk) 17:36, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Jim, thanks for the message. not sure if this is the correct way to reply to you, but hopefully you see this? Point taken on the Grammy info - will move to later thanks. At present however the page is fairly scant on current and relevant info - and 'several' records on Sticky is inaccurate. I don't see any other references currently other than one to Ascap, and one to Miriam Kaufmann, which remain in my edit, so am confused as to why my additions, and other previous info from others (which has been erased), have been discarded whenever info in this existing entry has been permitted ref free? Will do my best to make refs where possible though. How does this work now that we're in touch as no point posting and reposting - do i need official approval before posting? Best.

 * I was watching your page and got your message. You can use wp:notifications (tricky). You don't need approval for editing, I don't have any more "authority" then you. Just a bit more experience. Others (besides me) will likely review your edits. The biggest issue with references is all the footwork or click-work. Without references one could add most anything. "Iain Archer wrote and composed God Save the Queen". Obviously not, but for more subtle claims, it would become a nightmare (as if it already isn't).
 * Also, please see wp:No original research - i.e. don't use your own knowledge, opinion, nor conclusions. This really makes it no fun for creative types...
 * Regarding Steve Mason, how about https://genius.com/albums/Steve-mason/Meet-the-humans or http://www.irishnews.com/arts/2016/04/15/news/ex-beta-band-frontman-steve-mason-for-cqaf-484054/ (probably better) as a reference?
 * Please see wp:Be bold! For how to resolve disputes, wp:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle is a good place to start. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 22:58, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
