@JalenBarks, why on EARTH can I not use a page from the official website of a record label as the SOURCE for an edit on a Wikipedia article related to that record label. THAT MAKES NO SENSE! Giorgio Bicchiere (talk) 03:25, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
- Wikipedia relies on neutral WP:THIRDPARTY coverage for inclusion of a music artist on a record label list. Simple verification alone is not enough; we need the reliable source. Jalen Barks (Woof) 03:33, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
- Actually, that does kind of make sense @JalenBarks!
- Thank you for informing me, and sorry for sound aggressive! I get frustrated when things confuse me. Giorgio Bicchiere (talk) 03:54, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I see you reverted some edits made by Masterartsconnect. I'm keen to remove the message on this page which says: This article contains wording that promotes the subject in a subjective manner without imparting real information.
Since you've reverted the edits which were made, can you also remove the message above? Many thanks QueVee (talk) 14:57, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
- I don't see why this is something you can't do yourself. Jalen Barks (Woof) 17:52, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
- Ok, thank you, I shall. Thanks QueVee (talk) 12:49, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi, letting you know I had completed the revdel on this report, but another editor contacted me and pointed out that source is in fact public domain. The site has has materials under various licenses but that specific paper was released by the UK crown in 1965 and is public domain (specifically says so at the top "This free content was digitised ... Public Domain". Accordinly I reverted the revdel and reverted the article to its pre-report state. Mfield (Oi!) 04:40, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
