Hello, I'm FlightTime Phone. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Night Ranger, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - FlightTime Phone (open channel) 14:54, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

File:Night Ranger High Road Album Cover.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:08, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

High Road (Night Ranger album)

Hi there. I see you're really interested in making an article for High Road (Night Ranger album). Two editors have now restored the redirect. Do you understand why? Are there questions I could help you with? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:39, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Barkeep49, no I do not understand why my article has been reversed. I own this album, it is listed in Night Ranger's discography section of their article, and I provided two reference sites that confirm everything that I included (and included a third after you restored the redirect the first time). Please be specific in your reply so that this correct information can be provided for others' reference and Wikipedia is no longer incomplete.

An album needs to have done one or more of the following:

1. Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble who created it.
   • This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries except for the following:
     • Any reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician or ensemble talks about the recording, and all advertising that mentions the recording, including manufacturers' advertising.
     • Articles in a school or university newspaper (or similar), in most cases.
2. The single or album has appeared on any country's national music chart.
3. The recording has been certified gold or higher in at least one country.
4. The recording has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award.
5. The recording was performed in a medium that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article. Read the policy and notability guideline on subjects notable only for one event, for further clarifications).
6. The recording was in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.
7. The recording has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network.

So adding a reliable source (all music, rate your music, and their website are not considered reliable source) that shows one of those things (the easiest to meet generally being two reliable source reviews to meet criteria 1) is what we're talking about. Does that make sense? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 23:13, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Barkeep49, is the point of this criteria to confirm that this album truly exists and I didn't just conjure it out of thin air, or to evaluate whether the album is *worthy* of a Wikipedia article? If it's the latter, it seems as though providing complete information about all of an artist's releases would be beneficial, regardless of whatever *reliable* sources say. I will do some more research to see if I can find references that meet this criteria, but I'm still a bit confused.

Wikipedia has decided on a standard of more than "does this thing exist"? It has decided for musical albums that they should meet one of those seven ideas above. The most common one is for it for the album to have received two detailed musical reviews by reliable sources - it's possible High Road has had this. If not the idea is to redirect them somewhere useful - which in this case is to an article that is about their whole discography more generally. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 23:36, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
