InYourSpeakers
editHi there. I notice you've been adding quite a few reviews from the site InYourSpeakers to album articles. I've glanced at the website & I'm not sure if it meets our criteria of being a "reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy". As you can imagine, there are dozens (if not hundreds) of websites out there that offer music reviews, but proportionally few of them have established a reputation for themselves in the field. Far more are simply personal or small-level websites started within the last few years that have no reputation in the field of music criticism. For that reason, WikiProject Albums has established the criteria that "reviews should be written by professional music journalists or DJs, or found within any online or print publication having a (paid or volunteer) editorial and writing staff (which excludes personal blogs), and must be from a source that is independent of the artist, record company, etc." We have set up a list of such sites at WP:ALBUM/REVSIT.
Before adding more reviews from InYourSpeakers, I recommend that you start a discussion at WT:ALBUMS to see if the site meets our criteria for reviews. If consensus is that it does, then it can be added to our list. When your contribution history consists entirely of adding links to a single website, that can be a red flag for linkspam, and editors who do this often find themselves warned/blocked and their edits reverted, even if they were in good faith. That's why I highly recommend bringing the site up for discussion at Wikiproject Albums before you continue adding it to articles. Thank you. --IllaZilla (talk) 20:11, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
