Brutality (band)

Would someone from WP:METAL mind taking a look at Brutality (band). It's been tagged with {{one source}} since January 2013 and it looks like the group does not satisfy WP:BAND. Also, it appears from Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions#Editing to correct a name that newly created account has been trying to change the name of one of the band's members, but is having a hard time doing so. Maybe whomever checks the article could also assess the sources being provided for the name change? At first glance, they look like WP:UGC to me, so probably fail WP:BLPSPS. Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:27, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Confused

Hi. I'm new to this in general. I'm confused on how I join this project and get involved, or how this really works. I also want to primarily work with Glam metal. Is this okay? Thanks. Yojunemeow (talk) 22:40, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello! You can start by adding your name here. A Wikipedia Project (or simply WikiProject) gathers editors who share an interest in a particular subject (in our case, metal) so they can work together to establish standards of quality for articles about metal, share good sources of information, etc. You can already help by simply creating, expanding, cleaning or doing maintenance stuff on articles related do metal, and there's absolutely no problem in focusing on one particular genre. WikiProjects normally have a to-do list, but I don't know if this one has it. If you're interested in glam metal, I have a suggestion: InVader, the latest album by Reckless Love.

Hi. Thanks. I added my name. I'm afraid that I don't know anything of that album. I mostly only know classic '80s-early '90s glam metal right now. I am pretty new to editing, so I think I want to start with mostly small edits, especially on things I'm less knowledgeable on. Yojunemeow (talk) 01:41, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
Yeah, go ahead then. There are always articles in need of adjustments. Victão Lopes Fala! 01:54, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
Thanks. Where can I find some in need of work easily? Yojunemeow (talk) 02:09, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
Unfortunately I don't know of a place listing metal-related articles needing maintenance. guess you're gonna have to check articles until you find something to be done. Victão Lopes Fala! 15:36, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
