Where can I find their Bonus Tracks from Idealism album? Do they give you the "code" if I download the album from iTunes?

I edited the section In popular culture and added the reference to the trailer of TrackMania found here. But I have searched high and low for that remix and now I am beginning to think that maybe it's not Digitalism after all. Could a real fan please help me out here? Is it really "Zdarlight" that is played in the trailer? The similarities are uncanny, so if it's not Digitalism it must be a rip-off... I96danma (talk) 13:59, 28 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Unsourced material edit

As seen with this edit, I reverted Solmgmt (talk · contribs) per the additions being unsourced. I also warned him on his talk page about it. Instead of fixing the matter, Solmgmt chose to revert me. Arjayay came along and helped tackle Solmgmt's edits. I reverted everything again because this article falls under the WP:BLP policy and editors should respect that policy and the WP:Burden policy. Solmgmt, read those policies. If you keep adding all this unsourced material to the article, I will alert the WP:BLP noticeboard to this matter.

All that stated, Solmgmt did source the Roller 2015 section, and once piece of the Live Act section, though I question the use of those sources. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 20:46, 12 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Solmgmt (talk · contribs), Wikipedia and Facebook are not WP:Reliable sources. Reported at the WP:BLP noticeboard. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 20:34, 19 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

The material that was added looks to have been copy/pasted from this page. I went ahead and reverted to the version before Solmgmt began. Hopefully that doesn't make for too much of an inconvenience, but this seems like a pretty egregious example of both copyvio and COI. Note that "solmgmt" in addition to being the user adding the content is also the band's management company. @Solmgmt: please note that company usernames are not allowed and that Wikipedia has strict rules about conflict of interest. Please do not edit the articles of bands you manage. If you would like, suggest improvements and provide reliable secondary sources on this talk page and other editors will make the changes for you (or advise you as to why the changes cannot be made). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 00:52, 21 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Digitalism (band)Digitalism (duo) – Not a band per WP:BANDDAB. The editor whose username is Z0 17:11, 28 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose but mainly because I think we should move this to be the main subject. Right now the dab page Digitalism points to Digital philosophy (an article which never even uses the term "digitalism"), a redlinked medical condition, and digitality. This seems clearly the main topic. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:38, 28 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
    @Rhododendrites: you're right! I'm going to withdraw this and start again with the new name. The editor whose username is Z0 17:46, 28 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

– The target is currently a disambiguation page with just this duo as an entry with an article of the matching name. The duo is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The editor whose username is Z0 17:48, 28 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • Support - per my comment in the above thread. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:07, 28 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Support first, oppose second Everything else in the disambig page is a non-match to the title. The disambiguation page is unnecessary at the moment.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 19:11, 28 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • If you're proposing to then delete the dab page, that needs to be done separately. There's no way to move this into that page's place without putting it somewhere or deleting it (and deletion of an extant target isn't in the scope of a move discussion). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 20:04, 28 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Zxcvbnm: the poisoning is a match to the band. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:11, 30 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
That is a Google Books search. We use it to establish the presence of a subject in WP:reliable sources. What you've done https://www.google.com/search?num=10&q=digitalism+band results is a vanilla Google search for "Digitalism band" in popular Internet. Which is exactly what we don't do. The idea of an encyclopaedia is to provide information not entertainment. So readers should be able to find information on digitalism rather than just the top entertainment subject. So (band) here is helpful, because it is a band, while removing it helps no one. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:00, 30 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
