Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Approved draft

Hello Rockboy1009. Contrary to Mach61 and Ca's declines, I've approved your draft for Sharks (song) (was at Sharks (Imagine Dragons song), but the disambiguation has been simplified). I believe the song is clearly notable outside of receiving critical reviews—plenty of songs that are charting right now, on the charts in 2024, do not receive many, if any, reviews from usable musical publications. I believe a lot of draft reviewers do not place any stock in a song charting internationally, reaching the top 40 of certain charts, and being certified gold in multiple countries, which denote millions of streams, which this song has done, but I do, so I have approved it.

Atlas (The Score album) redirect

Made the redirect based on notability, but that was before I noticed it was a copy and paste move from an existing draft which has already been rejected. Rockboy1009, just want to make clear that copy and paste moves are explicitly against the rules, and circumventing the draft process when your article has been rejected can be a serious issue. Please don't do it again. Also tagging in Robert McClenon and Mach61 who both rejected the draft previously so they know what happened. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 04:21, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

@Rockboy1009 In Rockboy's defense, AfC isn't required. I think a formal deletion discussion is the best way to decide the article's fate. Mach61 04:59, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

wrong ping, meant @QuietHere Mach61 04:59, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

User:QuietHere - As a terminological distinction, neither User:Mach61 nor I rejected the draft. We declined the draft. There is a difference. Rejection does not allow resubmission, while a decline does. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:05, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

User:Rockboy1009 - Copy-paste moves are not permitted, because they do not maintain attribution, and so are a form of plagiarism. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:05, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

I will look at this again within 24 hours. It is 0100 local time. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:05, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

I see that I declined the draft with the note that it lacked Reception or charting information. Those are needed to establish musical notability. The version that was then declined by User:Mach61 was almost the same as the version that I declined. Two reviewers think that it isn't ready for mainspace. The most recent update is that User:QuietHere has redirected the article to the band. I suggest that we leave it as a redirect, and that if Rockboy1009 or anyone else restores the article, we take the advice of User:Mach61 and submit an AFD nomination.

Artificial Paradise (OneRepublic album)

Hello. I have redirected this article. I was going to create it several days ago until I Googled for news articles and found there is literally one news source on the album's existence on the Internet at this point, and that's from a radio station. Not even a music news website or magazine. That is not enough to create an article per WP:NALBUMS. I strongly suggest you wait for more before recreating this article, because Apple Music and Instagram posts are primary sources that do not establish notability. I also don't think we need a whole paragraph quote from Ryan Tedder. It's clear from your edits in the past several years that you are a fan of OneRepublic—that's great. But one news article is not enough to make an article on. I promise it will not survive a deletion discussion at this point so you are wasting your time. Please wait for more secondary sources. Thanks. Ss112 04:26, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Imagine Dragons April 19 2022 Canada Life Centre.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Fire (Meduza, OneRepublic and Leony song)

Thanks for creating Fire (Meduza, OneRepublic and Leony song) article. Hafizh Iskandar (talk) 13:44, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Stop creating articles for non-notable songs just because you're a fan

Rockboy1009, as I said above, it's fine to be a fan of a musical act but not everything a musical acts puts out is going to be notable. Not everything OneRepublic has done is notable. Listen to experienced editors when they tell you topics are not notable. You have gone out of your way to create articles for every last OneRepublic single and promo single, even restoring articles when experienced editors have redirected the article and told you it fails WP:NSONGS because the articles do not have in-depth secondary news coverage or a claim of significance like multiple chart position(s). I am telling you the articles that were redirected will not survive a deletion discussion at WP:AFD, so you are wasting your time making the articles when they will either be redirected again either by another editor or by consensus if you continue to restore the articles. That being said, I promise you I will nominate the articles you have created for deletion if you restore them once again. You need to separate being a fan from an objective look at a song's notability as a topic on Wikipedia and please read WP:NSONGS. In the absence of anything else, in-depth coverage of a song in news sources is required, not just mentions that the song exists. Ss112 12:23, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
