User talk:Theoutfitmusic

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Theoutfitmusic", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you.

I wish you success in your musical career, but I don't think your band's article will have a chance of being accepted on Wikipedia at the moment. A full set of criteria is in WP:NMUSIC, but in short you need to be at the level where you have been signed by a major label and had some chart success. (FWIW I am a semi professional musician who plays around 60-70 shows a year, and I don't have or particularly want a Wikipedia article about myself). -- Ritchie333 (talk)  (cont)   15:09, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Notability and personal thoughts
Although I've declined this article, and I still think the band is not notable yet, I have to say (having been a gigging musician for about 20 years) that this is one of the few band articles I've actually reviewed and checked out the music afterwards, and it matches my own musical tastes. If you were playing in my local pub (which is kind of unlikely as I live several thousand miles away on another continent) I'd come and watch.

If I had to give some constructive criticism, I would say you need to get digital tuners, as the 'D' string was flat on the guitar for all the videos I heard. The guitarist has, in my opinion, a slightly better voice than the keyboardist, who seems to be trying a bit too hard to emulate Amy Winehouse. Try singing in harmony together if you can - not many bands seem to do that anymore. The rhythm section needs to be a bit tighter and on the ball, which is just one of those things you get when you start gigging lots and lots.

Anyway, as things stand today, with no chart success and only local gigs, you're not yet at the level of getting a Wikipedia article. If you tour more, get signed, and hit the charts, then we can talk about an article then. Best of luck, anyway. -- Ritchie333 (talk)  (cont)   11:18, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, webside or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will probably not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf(talk) 18:53, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
