[edit] Good, but...

The whole article needs to read more encyclopedic and neutral. Right now it reads like a big press release or official biography that could have been copied from elsewhere on the web. Proper citations for everything will be needed for this article as well in order to be of feature article quality. -- CJ Marsicano 17:38, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. Overall, it was taken heavily from the official bio, largely because it was nearly impossible to find ANY history of the band from anywhere else. Help is needed to make sure the article does fall into the encyclopedic guidelines of Wikipedia, and any help assisted by anyone would be greatly appreciated as I try and tell this incredibly influential band's story. Also, the main reason no sources are given is because the main source is blacklisted for reasons unknown. I am trying to have it allowed. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Spam_blacklist#plasmatics.com LuvataciousSkull 17:55, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] B-Class Quality?

I've added a B-Class stub to the article since I've added so much information to the article, images, and cleaned up some of the language. I will shoot for an A-Class rating in a week. LuvataciousSkull 01:15, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References?

OK, the subject of the lack of references is perfectly valid, and I would be more than happy to include them. The main problem, though, is that the website that these references can be found is, for some reason or another, blacklisted. This, despite the fact that the site is perfectly fine. The topic can be found here:

I've removed the phrase "and was seriously beaten in Milwaukee" from the opening paragraph. This statement was unreferenced and the closest I could find to a legitimate reference was an uncited AP report here that states the jury cleared all six officers of wrongdoing.Tuskah (talk) 06:39, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article is plaigarised.

The biography section of this article is lifted verbatim from the DVD "10 Years Of Revolutionary Rock 'N' Roll" by the Plasmatics. On the disc the text is spoken, and whoever actually placed that here simply transcribed it. The DVD is copyrighted in the year 2006 by Pandemonium Merchandising LLC, and as such the entire article needs to be rewritten. —comment added by Realkinglion (talk • contribs) 19:14, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Anthemsoftheapocalypse.jpg

Image:Anthemsoftheapocalypse.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
