I need to understand why the page i edited keeps showing that it needs references when i added them in already?

Hello, Mastermusicgenius. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Michael Blakey, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. ''You appear to be intimately connected with the gentleman, perhaps being the gentleman. It is unwise to edit such articles because one cannot see clearly what is and is not appropriate to add or remove.'' Fiddle Faddle (talk) 08:43, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

I am not Mr. Blakey nor do I work for the man. I resent such accusations as well. I did my best to create an article on the person I admired (drummer) and apparently have done so sufficiently for 3 years only to have it challenged now. Its a shame that Wikipedia will not recognize a great drummer and contributor of some damn good music.
 * It is not wikipedia that does "not recognize a great drummer and contributor of some damn good music", but reliable sources that do not and therefore we cannot. You may also wish to make yourself familiar with WP:NPOV and WP:PEACOCK. --  The Red Pen of Doom  16:46, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * However, if you can find verifiable reliable sources that are not PR or articles really about someone else that happen to mention this subject, the article can likely survive or be recreated later. you may also of course put in your opinion at the AFD.

 * I believe I should answer directly since my notice that there may be a conflict of interest has caused your reaction. If there is or is not, that is fine. My notice was to suggest great caution be exercised if there is a close connection. I'm content to accept the words that you are, instead, a major fan. THat you are a fan is great. The only issue at present is with the quality of the article. Deletion discussions here have two outcomes: the article is improved such that it is kept, or it is agreed to be impossible to save because of its quality.
 * Neither outcome is a comment upon the man Blakey. The article's quality is the sole thing that interests people. I proposed it for deletion because it is, as it stands, and in my opinion, a poor article showing no notability. My own researches showed nothing that was useful in enhancing the article, and the prior content was, in my view, incapable of saving the article ether. Had it been capable of doing so I woudl have edited the article to include it.
 * Please do not take this personally, though I understand it can be hard not to, the more so since all great fans are outraged when the object of their study is called into question by someone else. Instead please do two things, and in this order. First, understand what WP:RS means for sources and add suitable sources as reference material to the article as it stands now and to any additions you make. Second, go to the deletion discussion to say what you have done and argue based only on facts that this is enough to save the article. The discussion is not a ballot, it is a consensus of opinions, backed by facts. We do not vote, we discuss and reach conclusions. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 17:52, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
