Notability Issues
editElla Riot/My Dear Disco has shown up in several independent sources (including Seventeen Magazine and the Detroit Free Press), I've edited some of them in as sources in the original article. The ones below are independent, non-self published sources that meet the guidelines that I haven't includeded yet.

Tone Issues
editI edited the article to be more formal. I feel like the style section should be removed and the information therein added to the rest of the article, but I'm not 100% sure on it so I'll leave it as-is.69.14.253.46 (talk) 04:53, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
Improper Sources Issues
editI deleted a few of the self-published ones for better sources, but was unable to find an announcement of the band's commercial spot outside of their own website. I also added a few citation needed tags for sentences without a clear source.69.14.253.46 (talk) 04:53, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
Fan POV Issues
editI cleaned up some of the more blatant adjectives here, what else do you think should be done? 69.14.253.46 (talk) 05:00, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

links for possible use at a later time
editThese 3 links were part of Ella Riot's main page. I moved them here, in case they are needed at a later time. The first 2 links were "External Links". Their relevant info is mostly included. The 3rd link was a reference, is self-published, given other references is now redundant.

updating dead references
editReference links (URLs) can move or die over time, Link rot. If they move, a web search produces a new URL. If they die, there is a chance that the reference article's image is archived at an archive site. A search at an archive site, of the original reference's URL, can produce a new URL which has the archived image. Given the URL of the archived image, a dead reference can be updated per Template:Cite web format,
<ref name=" x ">{{cite web|url= x0 |title= x |publisher= x |date= x |accessdate= x |archiveurl= x |archivedate= x | deadurl=yes}}</ref>
Note, the code retains the original reference's URL, x0. This is useful in case the archive cite dies and an alternate archive has to be found. The code also retains the original title, publisher and date of publication, which can be useful in future searches. An example,
<ref name="popwrk-2010-arch">{{cite web|url=http://popwreckoning.com/2010/08/10/lollapalooza-friday-2010-a-day-of-glam/|title=Lollapalooza Friday 2010: A day of glam|publisher=popwreckoning.com|date=August 10, 2010|accessdate=November 9, 2013|archiveurl=http://archive.is/P4Q8I|archivedate=July 17, 2013|deadurl=yes}}</ref>
Archiving sites are: archive.org , archive.is , webcitation.org and others. To guarantee that an archived image exists, one can submit a "request to archive" at an archiving site. Over time an archiving site can die for the same reasons as any other site, so there is no guarantee guarantee!
