Re: Jim Longhi

Thanks for your message. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and subjects of articles need to be notable. An editor tagged the Jim Longhi article as an "A7 bio", which is to say that it lacked an assertion of notability. I reviewed the request, agreed, and deleted it as such. The article only said that Longhi is a lawyer from New York who wrote a book about his experiences in the Merchant Marines with Woody Guthrie and Cisco Houston. I'm not saying that Jim Longhi isn't notable (all I know about him is what the article said), but I am saying that the article does not explain if, how or why he is notable in his field. These guidelines might help you address this issue with the article: Wikipedia:Notability (people) and Wikipedia:Notability (books). Also, this had nothing to do with the deletion, but will take this opportunity to let you know that there was an additional problem with the first version which said, "It offers a fascinatingly rare first hand glimpse into the lives of these two folk legends." This is editorial comment and it is not acceptable on Wikipedia as we must write in an encyclopedic and neutral point of view. I hope that answers your questions, if not, please feel free to leave another message. Regards, Sarah 05:00, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Woody Guthrie

This article has reached "Good Article" status! Hopefully we can get it looking better with a few more references and a little polishing. —Gaff ^ταλκ 08:03, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Wikiproject Oklahoma Newsletter

Greetings! Your name has been mentioned on this month's Wikiproject Oklahoma newsletter "The WikiOkie Reporter":

The WikiOkie Reporter WikiProject Oklahoma's Newsletter Issue 1 - September 2007 Discuss this newsletter	Your second or third stop for WikiProject Oklahoma News Sign up to receive this newsletter Oklahoma Portal Current article statistics
WikiProject Oklahoma releases new newsletter September 2007 brings a new face to WikiProject Oklahoma: a newsletter. As in all of Wikipedia, the new WikiOkie Reporter (tenative name) is intended to be a collaborative effort among editors. Anyone can edit it: this month's newsletter is placed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Oklahoma/newsletter/aug07, but next month's will be placed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Oklahoma/newsletter/oct07, with the following month at /newsletter/nov07, and so on. While this month's article's were initially written by User:Okiefromokla, it is hoped other editors will be excited to contribute to articles, content, layout, and ideas. This is a completely new child of WikiProject Oklahoma, and it should reflect the collaborative work of everyone who's bored and has nothing to do for a few minutes. As such, anything can be discussed here: anything - layout, color scheme, pictures, content, etc. The behind-the-scenes workings for the WikiOkie Reporter will be simple: anyone wishing to receive the newsletter in their talk page may place their name at sign-up list, but they are more than free to remove their name from the same list at any time. Anyone wishing to discuss ideas or anything at all related to the newsletter may look no further than here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Oklahoma/newsletter/talk. Several WikiProjects already have ongoing newsletters, including Wikipedia: WikiProject North Dakota, from which WikiProject Oklahoma's newsletter has been based. For the time being, Okiefromokla will assume distribution responsibilities for the newsletter, maintaining the template, and writing articles from scratch if other editors have not done so by the 1st of the month. Promotions on the rise For many Wikipedians, summer is a time to kick back, relax, and make an occasional minor edit to their favorite few pages. Not so in WikiProject Oklahoma. Between May 12 and September, editors have been busily working on Oklahoma, Tulsa, and Woody Guthrie, and all three have been promoted. Prior to May, there were only seven Featured or Good articles in WikiProject Oklahoma. On May 12, Tulsa was promoted from B-class to FA class after a few months of extensive editing. Its primary editors were User:Nmajdan, User:SandyGeorgia, User:Okiefromokla, and a handful of others. On August 25, Oklahoma was promoted from B-class to FA class after a month-long blitz. User:Okiefromokla, User: SandyGeorgia, and several anonymous IPs contributed heavily to the article. On June 13, 2007, Woody Guthrie was promoted from B-Class to GA class after two failed attempts at promotion. User:Dannygutters, User:Gaff, User:Maenpong, and a handful of others contributed most to the article.
This month's task: Assess articles! Check out all these unassessed articles to help out!
The WikiProject Oklahoma newsletter is a work in progress so please share your ideas about how the newsletter can be improved. If you no longer wish to receive this newsletter, please remove your name from the sign-up list.

Woody Guthrie external links

So sorry that I put a duplicate link to the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival! I thought I looked carefully at the list! I just started the article for the festival a few days ago and have a accomplished a good bit, but still have a long way to go. Eventually plan to add lots more detail about individual performances. All in good time.  :-) Kmzundel 13:55, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

OTS

Yes, definitely attach to the Chicago project and any folk music project. Shsilver 18:31, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Murder ballads

Hello. I see that you are a member of Wikiproject Roots Music, and I am hoping you can answer a question for me. How do I get the Murder ballads aricle listed as part of said Wikiproject? The article certainly falls within the projects bailiwick, and it is in need of some attention. Another editor (K. Scott Bailey) and I are just beginning some editorial work. But, if this had the attention of the project, I am sure that would help. Thanks for your time. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 16:49, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Done and done! Thanks for the reply. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 17:57, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

David Amram's Woody Guthrie symphony

It's possible David Amram may bring the symphony to Okemah! You NEED to come to the festival!  :-) Kmzundel 22:17, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Woody Guthrie references

I went through every reference adding detail to many and editing style for consistency. They were a bit of a mess. Kmzundel 19:23, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
