[edit] Your Request for feedback on Still Pending (band)

Hi Stampsations. I just finished typing my reply to your Request for feedback on Still Pending (band), and then noticed that you've removed the entry, so I decided to post here, on your talk page. However, if you had a specific reason for removing your request and no longer want this information to appear, you have my permission to remove this post, at your leisure.

I usually tend to make smaller changes to improve existing articles and haven't submitted many new articles myself, so you're braver than I am! I know it can be intimidating creating a new article, but I think you've done a great job. The article layout looks good and your use of images has managed to enhance the article. The article is also nicely wikified already. I hope the following minor suggestions will be useful for improving the article even more:

  • To make the article's Lead section comply with the Manual of Style, I would consider removing the line break separating the first two sentences. In other words, make the first two sentences appear on one line only, instead of two.
  • The article is currently uncategorized. Consider adding it to one or more categories. This will make it easier for people to find articles related to a certain subject.
  • In the section headers, only the first word should be capitalized, unless it also contains proper nouns. So, for example, "National Exposure" should be changed to "National exposure". See WP:MOS#Wording for more detail.
  • It might be possible to introduce additional wikilinks to the article, but be sure not to overlink and that the links are relevant to the article. The external tool Can We Link It is useful for suggesting possible, additional wikilinks.
  • I noticed one small punctuation error at "having not yet decided on a name for the group. the band"—the full stop should be changed to a comma. It might be a good idea to copyedit the article in order to ensure there aren't any further typos or grammar errors.
  • Perhaps creating additional sections, telling a bit more about each of the band members, might be a good idea. You can then turn certain words in the article into wikilinks that jump directly to the relevant section on the same page; for example, a wikilink for each of the band members' names currently appearing in the Infobox, like so: [[Still Pending (band)#Ian Rogers (bass guitar)]].

I hope this has been of help! Feel free to reply here should you need any additional suggestions. —XhantarTalk 23:12, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] No problem!

And great work on the article. Wikipedia needs grammar nitpicks, but it needs real contributors like you even more.

[edit] re:Wikieditor07

Yes, I do believe that action was a little bit of a misunderstanding. S/he requested more information about deletion on Wikipedia:Help_desk#blatant_advertising. I didn't know that s/he would try to get Still Pending deleted via WP:CSD. However, keep in mind that we should not bite the newcomers and that we must assume good faith. If this editor causes a disturbance, you can try the dispute resolution process; if the situation escalates into a much larger problem, then try requests for comment.--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 17:02, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Questions about images

I have a few questions regarding the images on Still Pending. Are Image:StillPending.jpg, Image:StillPendingCrystalPoster.jpg, Image:SP Crystal Ballroom.JPG, and Image:Still Pending Innocent Days 200.jpg your own personal property? Did you actually produce these images yourself? I just need to ask you this in order to make sure that you can license these under the public domain. You see, public domain licensing confirms that the uploader of the images forfeit all copyright and that Still Pending will not be able to receive any monetary gain from these images. If you didn't produce these images, you need to confirm that the person who did is allowing you to use them.--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 00:51, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

No, it's fine. It seems to me that David Ellman has proprietary interest over the groups publicity (it also seems like he's related to Grant Ellman). If so, then I'm sure that he knows what he's doing, and that he has every right to publish these pictures under the public domain.--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 16:19, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
