Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Peaches1955! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

Proposed deletion of FFFM


The article FFFM has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of FFFM
A tag has been placed on FFFM requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Squalls (band)


A tag has been placed on Squalls (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Pylon Reenactment Society (band)
Hello Peaches1955,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Pylon Reenactment Society (band) 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 [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ 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.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Peaches1955. 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. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with 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).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. If you continue to create inappropriate articles, your account will be blocked. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:40, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Pylon Reenactment Society (band)
I am sure I am not the only person who has written an article about their project. I am just being honest about it and not hiding behind a fake name/email. I am a true independent artist and not affliated with a major label. The people who are interested in my music understand that there is an element.of self promotion that goes on. I have always attempted to be honest and not overblown.. If you want to go through with your threat to block me for COI. Go ahead. Be sure to include my comments here to your committee. Again, I formally request that you send my submission to someone who has an interest in music, especially that of an independent variety.

Best wishes, Vanessa Briscoe Hay Vanessa Briscoe Hay Peaches1955 (talk) 03:58, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not here for you to advertise
I noticed you. You are a CoI editor, Vanessa Briscoe Hay, using Wikipedia to push your business because you think practices common to your trade are allowed here. Please leave Wikipedia if you're just using us to push your music career. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 16:26, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Nope - crying is not the appropriate terminology. Upset, and stunned are closer to my feelings.

This missive from you seems quite personal in the phrases you are choosing to use.

What practices are common to my trade? I have no clue as to what you are referring to?

I am an indie woman musician with a career of over 41 years. I did not submit the first article on here about my band Pylon and do not add to that page.

I did submit my original posting about myself and other members of my band in the interest of having accurate information out there for researchers.

Most recently, I was interviewed by the author Elizabeth Grace Hale’s well researched book - “Cool Town.” I came here to add a citation to the book and found that I have been blocked.

If this is a personal vendetta on your part, I sincerely do not appreciate it. But, life is not fair. If Wikipedia chooses to remove my page. I’d like to have it submitted to an oversight committee rather than a committee of one, such as yourself. Peaches1955 (talk) 16:44, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Editing with a COI
I happened to stumble across this and wanted to give a bit of explanation here as to why you were blocked, what a conflict of interest means, and so on. First, an explanation of what a conflict of interest (COI) means and why it's important:

A COI occurs when someone edits a page that is about or relates to them in some form or fashion. For example, it would be a conflict of interest if you were to edit your own page or a page about your bands, co-workers, friends, labels - pretty much any person, group, or company that you have had a relationship of some type with. It would also be a conflict of interest if you were to edit a general page to insert information about yourself, like for example editing the page on rock music to insert mention of your band.

The reason why it's not a good idea to edit with a conflict of interest is because it's very, very easy to take things personally and to even write with a favorable, promotional tone, even if this wasn't your intention. People are normally used to writing in a casual, reflective style that includes their own observations and opinions, which clashes with Wikipedia's writing style. Adding in a conflict of interest can make the process of trying to write neutrally even more difficult. Wikipedia heavily recommends that people who have a conflict of interest not edit their page directly because of this and instead recommends that they post suggestions to the article's talk page or to the talk page of an applicable WikiProject. So if you are wanting someone to add to an article about a rock band, you could post the request to the talk page for the WikiProject devoted to rock music or the general music WikiProject.

Offhand I don't see where you were posting outright promotional content along the lines of "buy the album... in stores NOW" type of material, however it can be seen as promotional to write about yourself. Part of this is because there has a history of people coming to Wikipedia to do just that, sometimes even paying people to create the material. (This is a big reason as to why any COIs must be stated upfront, to maintain transparency.) It also was concerning that you were predominantly only editing content that related to you.

I do see where you were trying to create pages live and then later through the Articles for Creation process (AfC). Using AfC is good and definitely the best avenue for this, as it will get reviewed by a random editor. Creating them live isn't as recommended since this does still have the COI issue and you're expected to establish right away how the given topic is notable. Keep in mind that this can only be done by showing where the topic has received coverage in independent and reliable sources such as coverage in newspapers or other popular media sources. For bands, reviews in places like Pitchfork can count towards notability as well. It can honestly be kind of difficult sometimes to establish this even for seemingly notable topics, as it can take time to compile all of the needed sourcing. It's why making a draft and putting it through AfC can be such a good avenue in general.

I know that this is a little late, but I think it would be good to take some of the training guides or tours about editing and Wikipedia in general. It can help show good faith on your part and also help fill in some of the questions. I would also heavily recommend utilizing the Teahouse as well - it's a resource for editors with questions. Some of the trainings you can take include WP:ADVENTURE and Training. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  18:08, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

ReaderofthePack Thanks so much. I appreciate your kindness in pointing me to the articles you list. I am not sure when I will have time to work on this. I am blocked anyway- But,I will. Best wishes. Stay well. Peaches1955
