Hi there. Please note that Wikipedia is not a reliable source for citations elsewhere on Wikipedia. Per WP:RS, all additions need to be cited with an independent, reliable source. If none can be found that supports that claim, it should not be included, as it is considered original research. HorrorLover555 (talk) 02:19, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

That was for a performance in 2009, and was uploaded by a non-official user, so it wouldn't be verifiable. See WP:RSPYT. In regards to the other two members, why not compromise and just say "backing and lead vocals"? HorrorLover555 (talk) 16:11, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

ok i am fine with putting down backing and lead vocals for tre and mike do i still need to put a source down? also sorry for the confusesion with the harmonica. Loidforger555 (talk) 16:57, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, I noticed someone adding additional credit info for the John 5 participation on Dolly Parton's rock album. Someone added that Rob Halford and Nikki Sixx are also credited and this was removed. This is true and can be sourced back here: https://www.guitarworld.com/news/dolly-parton-halford-john5-nikki-sixx-bygones

Can this be added again or do you think it is not needed?

Similarly for the 31 film score. John 5 composed that score. Info sources here: https://screamermagazine.com/interviews/the-mastermind-of-john-5/ and here: https://bravewords.com/news/john-5-pulls-double-duty-for-rob-zombie-on-new-album-and-film

Again, should this additional info be added as the account you reverted mentioned or is it not needed for additional info/clarification?

Thanks in advance. EmmaJL5 13:27, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi there! I do not think it needs to be needed, as the mentions of Nikki Sixx and Rob Halford can and should be mentioned at their own articles. On top of that, I had to revert, as the edit is based on someone who has been evading their block for quite a long while now, and persists at wanting to add unsourced BLP edits.

Hi @HorrorLover555 - thanks for the reply. Everything you said makes sense about naming the other artists. I thought that would be the type of answer I would get which is why I didn't go ahead and make a change adding their names back.

Also, understood on why those reverts were made - did some reading on just how far that sock puppet went.

Thanks again for your help Have a good day. EmmaJL5 13:31, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
