Speedy deletion nomination of File:David lloyd 1-dumbbabysound.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:David lloyd 1-dumbbabysound.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ww2censor (talk) 03:08, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited David Lloyd (musician), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Funny Man and Stephen Short (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

September 2013
Hello, Mediababy. 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 David Lloyd (musician), 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. ''Judging from the posts on this website, you have a conflict of interest here. You are strongly advised not to make edits directly to the article, but are of course welcome to suggest improvements on the talkpage.'' Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:33, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
 * It seems likely that you also have a similar conflict of interest at Uropa Lula, and are thus strongly advised not to make edits directly to that article either. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:37, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident in which you may be involved. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 00:56, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. I can understand your concerns since I've contributed to so few articles. I can only refute any claim that there is a conflict of interest. Many of the areas I feel qualified to add to (80's synth pop and 90's Brit Pop) have already been very well covered and I haven't felt there was anything I could add. Sorry for the slow response... I have tried cleaning up the articles but am very grateful for any advice regarding future articles and any edits I might contribute. mediababy

Reliable sources
Please read our policies about reliably published sources. Items used as reference must have a reputation for fact checking and accuracy / editorial review. People's personal websites, fansites etc are not appropriate sources. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  17:42, 15 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Please point out which references I've used that apply to this criteria and I'll happily remove them. As you can see, I'm no expert on all requirements.
 * fade2grey, soundcloud, lastfm, rhapsody, Lloyds own sites, etc are not usable or (in the case of Lloyd's site, minimal use for non controversial and non self promotional claims - but Lloyd's personal sites do not do anything to establish that Lloyd meets the criteria for a stand alone article). Typically, the BBC would be a great source, if it was actually content about the subject of the article, not just showing the band in a playlist. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  18:05, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. I have seen references to fade2grey, soundcloud, lastfm, rhapsody etc in numerous other Wikepedia articles and just assumed they were applicable. I don't think Lloyd is connected to most of those you mention but I know two of the soundcloud pages are his. I had assumed that these links were primarily of interest to the points I was writing about and had not considered any promotional value. I'll deal with these issues in the next few days and correct everything where applicable. Again, thanks. mediababy
 * Unfortunately, there are a lot of bad articles out there. You want to look for the professional music reviewers, not the places that anyone can edit and post. books.google.com is a pretty good source (however you cannot use content by Books LLC or Icon Press or Hephaestus, for example, which just scape up and reprint Wikipedia articles and call them "books").

I'll take all of that onboard and look for what might be considered better reference points... It's just a little difficult not being able to reference cult status bands from a time prior to the internet, since most of their coverage was in print and nowadays often only kept alive by fans on 'fan sites'. OK... I'm going to start this learning curve by trying this tilde thing and hopefully continue learning from thereMediababy (talk) 19:19, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
