Pruitt

Hi, Pocketparis I removed a significant portion of your article as it was a copyvio and totally unsupported by any of the sources you included. Do you have *any* sources to support the claims of his work with notable artists? I looked at his website and they just link back to Wikipedia, which doesn't support a single claim made other than being the sole member of a non-notable band. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 15:57, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

I apologize, I am new to Wikipedia and this is my first article. I understand part of it being deleted. It's ok, i'm Learning as we go. I am starting to understand how wikipedia works and why it works that way. (PocketParis) =-=-

Pocketparis I'm not trying to be bite-y here but that doesn't really answer my question and now after your edits following this conversation, I have even more. I see you added another unsourced claim of working with a notable artist - where are these coming from? None of the discogs support this and nothing can be found online about this either. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 20:31, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

I am very confused. The artist Jarrett M Pruitt is Listed on HHMG Records as a sponsored link for working with Crunchy Black. Crunchy has been to Jarretts home.. I apologize again for not understanding how all this works. Iam very new to this. please for give me. I was only trying to help a working musician who is growing and growing. You;d figure with over a million trending plays it would be considered notable. I will lets the Wikgods do what they do best.. I will keep researching on how to build better articles and for more information jarrett m pruitt..

As near as I can tell, a "sponsored link" is an advertisement so you are claiming that an unsubstantiated advertisement made by the artist himself (or someone on his behalf) should count as a reference. It really doesn't. Please read WP:RS to understand what reliable sources are. You have also failed to address your admitted conflict of interest. Are you Jarret himself or Gregory Hale? You offered an email address that is associated with "Shades of Fame" which you claim to consist solely of those two people. Justeditingtoday (talk) 08:41, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
