Itching to edit these again
So I really want to bring every Priestess-related article up to as high a standard as possible. My sandboxes at the moment are devoted to subject matters relating to the band, and I just brought-in a metric crap ton of stuff I was working on. Obviously it's far from complete, so any help would be greatly appreciated. To be clear, I am not
We need a citation for this
[Mikey Heppner] later commented that the term sounds like something that would already have been used as a band name, but that an Internet search only turned up top results such as

My inspiration
Since it's a featured article, I'm using
The Fanzine
Based on its name, I have my concerns over whether this constitutes a
Hiatus
Mikey Heppner said through Facebook that the band have taken an indefinite hiatus. If/when this turns-up in
Source publishers
I just realized I may want to include the names of each source's publisher. Maybe I'll get to that soon...
Pictures
Man, this article could sure benefit a hell of a lot from pictures... Unfortunately I have none that would be suitable. Never been to a concert, never seen one of these guys in public.
Source for their hiatus
I have a feeling that if/when Priestess returns is when we'll finally get a reliable source saying they were ever on hiatus in the first place. I won't hold my breath, but I'll just wait and see what happens.
RCA vs. Tee Pee
Much was made of the fact that RCA and Tee Pee are two different types of labels, first a major label than an indie one. That might have some place in the article.
Singles
The band's two other singles are "Run Home" and "Lay Down" (the latter is even explicitly referenced in the article as such). However, I am unable to substantiate the order in which they were released; for that reason I have omitted them. I'm not sure which would be worse, Wikipedia lacking information or Wikipedia having incorrect information, but for now I'll choose the former. It's a way of saying, "At least what we DO have is correct."
Vince Nudo and the Violators
I took this out because even if it were true it would require that he joined the band because of Priestess' current inactivity. And also, the way it was written, it would look better on Vince Nudo's article... which he does not have at the moment because he does not yet warrant one.
Assessment
It needs a call out for the most popular songs, with reviews. And especially the inclusion to Guitar Hero. Flesh the discography. Find cites to talk about their influences. Since only Heppner (not any of the band members) has his own article, there needs to be a bit more detail in this article about what each member does (including Heppner)instruments played, influences, style, training. The overall tone of the narrative is a little too casual, including internal motivations and anecdotes. Sharpen that to more encyclopedic approach. Fill in some tour information. You could easily have a B article, or a Good Article. EBY (talk) 04:18, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
- Finally, some feedback! Reviews are a tricky thing to integrate into an article and I've only recently started doing so. The discography is a bit problematic considering some songs are cited as singles in some sources (of varying reliability) and not in others, and some are cited as "lead singles" (i.e. the first single to come from an LP) in some of those places and not in others. Actual release dates are never quite clear. Up until now I was worried more about integrating facts, that is, things that have been said about the band's history as having been true and painfully aware of the absence of any kind of critical reaction (which I've partially remedied in my last edit to the article as of this writing, which was of course after this talk post was made). It's too bad that a lot of really good info appears in sources that aren't Guy 13:55, 7 July 2013 (UTC)]
