Question re: Black Chrome
Hello! I noticed your recent edits and that you seem to be here to add content about the band, Black Chrome, to several articles. I also saw that one edit was reverted because it may have been seen as promotional. I'm curious, do you have a connection to the band? Netherzone (talk) 23:24, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello! I was indeed a part of the Australian and Adelaide punk scene in the 1970's which included connections to some of the bands, and note that unfortunately there seems to be very little recorded in Wikipedia about the history of Punk in South Australia in the 1970's. I am trying to help by adding referenced information before it's too late, firstly about the first Adelaide punk bands Black Chrome and JAB, and then hope to add the next wave of bands and information about the early punk records released there. I am trying to comply with all the guidelines, particularly NPOV, however I am new at this and any suggestions to improve will be gratefully taken on board. Whoever did at least one reversion, the reason given was because Black Chrome did not already have a wikipedia page, to which while I understand where that person is coming from, and I agree there should be a wikipedia page about that band, I would respectfully argue that that band was big part of the inception of punk in Adelaide and South Australia, and there's always got to be a first entry about any band, or first edit about the birth of punk in a particular state of Australia. Anyway, thanks for your message, and I am happy to hear any suggestions about how I can improve the quality of my contributions. STomorrow442(talk) 14:55, 17 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi STomorrow, your contributions are appreciated, but I don't think that DNA Fanzine is considered a reliable source for an encyclopedia. Zines, like blogs, are usually considered primary sources or user-submitted content. Are there other publications such as newspapers or music magazines that have covered Black Chrome and the Adelaide scene? See: WP:RS for more information on the type of sourcing WP requires. Also there is info at WP:RSP for more detailed publications that are considered reliable secondary sources - this should give you an idea of the "standards". If you were in the band Black Chrome, or have a connection to them, it would be considered a conflict of interest for you to write about them here - see WP:COI for more information. This is important to understand. If you do have a connection, there are certain things an editor must do to be in compliance with our guidelines. I am happy to provide more info if that is the case. I agree that it would be great to have more coverage of Australia in general! Cheers, Netherzone (talk) 22:53, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
