To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

  • Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
  • Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

P.O.D., band roles, CoI and sourcing

[edit]

If you want to add that your co-worker was called-up by the band to the band's article, all you need is a reliable source that states your co-worker's role in the band. Touring musicians are not usually considered members though. Writing about someone you are close to is considered a conflict of interest and you should probably just suggest changes, with reliable sources, on the article's talk page, and let others make those changes for you.

Okay so after reading the article on reliable sources, what would you prefer as undisputable evidence to have this information be kept up? Mr. Cisneros has made a lot of contributions to the band in last 6 years and it would be unethical to not say he isn't a member of any sorts (definitely not a core member - I agree with that), especially because he knows many of the members on the band personally. If I cannot write it as part of a conflict of interest, then are you able to then? We have pictures, videos, and emails of both the member's contributions and the tour happening in 2021. Though of course the bulk of current mainstream culture no longer considers rock to be popular in recent years, compared to 20 years ago resulting in information neglect and doubt of any legitimacy.
