Bluegrass albums

I reverted your second edit to The Telluride Sessions as "[" and "..." are generally the symbols used for one-album bands. Currently, Telluride Sessions is the only album listed in Category:Bluegrass albums. -Acjelen 21:35, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

New Grass Revival, etc.

If they had an award for most improvement to an article in a single edit, I would nominate you. Anyway, I emptied Category:Strength In Numbers albums, though I'm not sure if more is required to completely delete it. I wonder if there's a category for supergroups with one album? -Acjelen 20:55, 23 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

influencial czech bluegrass bands

if what you said in July on the Music of the Czech Republic discussion page is true, perhaps the wording that "poutnici is one of the most influencial czech bluegrass bands" should be changed to something like, "Notable is Potnici, whose early success lead to the continued embrase of Bluegrass music in the Czech Republic, as well as the fact that many of the members from that band have recorded or toured with Druha Trava, which has brought Czech bluegrass to the modern world music stage." of course that is way to flowery, entirely unencyclopedic, and also uninformed, as I am not familiar with poutnici. In any case, perhaps you would like to take a look at that page? Smmurphy 19:39, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting comments on template alteration

Hello. I see you are using one or more of the User instruments templates in your Babel box. Inspired by some recent developments, I want to rework all the templates in there (including ones used on user pages), to make them more like the regular Babel templates. However, I thought I should hear from the people this would affect before actually doing it. Please weigh in at User:Ddawson/User instruments.

Thanks

Thank you for your comments awhile back. I haven't done anything on Wikipedia because this information overload if fairly intimidating. I would, indeed, welcome any comments or suggestions that you may have. I am also happy to contribute to your bluegrass pages (I did my senior thesis in college exploring bluegrass music and whether it is a "folk" music). Again, thanks for the encouraging welcome. Daben

Schools - try voting merge

If you want to work towards a compromise on schools, stop voting "delete" and start voting "merge". Deletion implies "erase all trace of this school from wikipedia" which can never be acceptable to school inclusionists, including myself. Kappa 13:42, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Music recordings copyright issues

Hi, I saw your question at Wikipedia_talk:Copyrights/Can_I_use...#Music_recordings. Since you might not be watching that page, I'll repeat my answer here. See Template:music sample. I have seen, and uploaded myself, several music samples under this template. (I assume you're talking about popular music; classical music and the like is a bit of a different story). My guidelines are - make the clip 30 seconds or less, only one clip per song (and usually, only one clip per album is necessary), and check the artist's website - if they have song samples available already, you may as well use them. No need to reinvent the wheel. See User:Pfctdayelise/Music_guide#How_to_contribute_sample_music_files_for_a_band. cheers --pfctdayelise 14:18, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

WP:USCOTW

I am not sure why you removed Jim Brown. Counting the nominating vote it has enough votes to stay another week. Also, should we not leave on the old votes that were there from September, for King Cotton and Mount Rushmore? We need any supporter we can get on this collaboration.--Fenice 14:18, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is a good idea to give the 'old voters' a voter template if the article wins - that way the votes are not lost. If you want to handle the renominations the way you do (eliminating old votes) that's fine with me. --Fenice 17:40, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Earl Scruggs

Thanks for the input Cmadler. After a bit more reading I think Snuffy should certainly get a mention. My banjo-playing brother instantly mentioned Masters of the Bluegrass Banjo and the interview with Earl. I will take a look shortly. I also found a 1984 article in British Bluegrass News (Vol 8, number 3) by John Atkins (erstwhile UK student of bluegrass) in which he writes "Earl hailed from North Carolina and his mentor was Snuffy Jenkins from Charlotte, N.C. who had popularised three finger banjo picking through his work with firstly JE Mainer, and then Byron Parker's Mountaineers. Both Scruggs and Don Reno learned first hand from Jenkins, and they both worked for a while with the Morris Brothers, another N.C. duo."

I'm new here but I've been playing, singing and writing bluegrass for around forty years, so it's fun to be helping out with some of the editing, and I've recently kicked off a couple of short articles on crosspicking and flatpicking. Thanks for sorting out the Don Reno links and I'm sure we'll be comparing blue notes soon. Regards Ophir 23:49, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the moves

"Please explain your deletion of the content in Math, Science, and Technology Center and the redirection to Paul Laurence Dunbar High School (Lexington, Kentucky)! At the least, this should be subject to a vote or advance warning through a Merge template! I also have to question the move from Paul Laurence Dunbar High School to Paul Laurence Dunbar High School (Lexington, Kentucky). I understand the desire for disambiguation should articles be created for other schools of the same name, but I believe preferred style is not to disambiguate until it is needed (i.e. until an article is created for another Paul Laurence Dunbar High School)? Cmadler 13:45, 5 March 2006 (UTC)"

I moved right away since I didn't think it would be controversial.

NOW, isn't MST just a program at Dunbar? If so, why did it have a separate article?

And as for the disambig, it doesn't matter if nobody has created an article for the Fort Worth Dunbar. The Lexington Dunbar should have the "Lexington, Kentucky" bit at the end.

"but I believe preferred style is not to disambiguate until it is needed (i.e. until an article is created for another Paul Laurence Dunbar High School)?"

Already is, because I'm linking to the Fort Worth Dunbar article from Fort Worth ISD.

You want those biased statements in the article University of Kentucky, then you need to correct the statements by introducing a neutral standpoint.

Image:PLD_Band_2004_014.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:PLD_Band_2004_014.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Fair use rationale for Image:Dunbarcheer2005.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Dunbarcheer2005.jpg. 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 Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

TCF bank change dapcman

Hello. I was wondering why you changed my section that i created about TCF bank's identity theft. i understand the title change but i was wondering why you deleted some information. I am an employee at TCF bank and have seen this incident occur personally. There are no outside resources, the bank is keepin this infomration private because im sure they would loose very much money. Thanks, please get back to me so we can straighten this situation out. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dapcman (talk • contribs) 07:10, 3 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Repy on TCF

I understand the changes made and I agree. You said that there were no Google search results for a "Learnus Ross" and this answer is obvious. Like you said, there are thousands maybe EVEN millions of incidents that occur at banks similar to this situation, which is the reason why he is probably not on Google anywhere. I saw this information first hand and am looking for some information linking this to Learnus Ross (including inmate searches at Illinois correctional facilities) and I’m still looking. You also said that my information was not credible and it is. Think of the many journalists who use their experiences to write articles. Are they not credible? First hand experience, whether you consider it to be scholarly, is what dictates a certain situation and is valuable information.

Again, I will continue looking for further information about Learnus Ross and until then I would like this article to stay on wikipedia. Just because a newspaper may announce this information rather than an employee who witnessed this situation first hand does not make the newspaper's view more valid. I may send this information to newspapers in the area, and I hope that the unethical act following the “identity theft incident” carried out by TCF bank will be made public.

Metro Detroit (and other) maps

Hello, I'm responding to the message you left on my talk page.

The maps I have made of the cities in Metro Detroit are available on the Commons. Maps of Wayne County is the category over there where I have placed them.

They were all made based on information released by the US Census bureau, or if newer information was available from the city websites (or other sources) regarding new annexations I attempted to integrate those changes.

I drew them all using Inkscape as the graphics editor. No additional tools were used in making them.

Thank you for accepting me at my word, however if you would like documented evidence to prove his status I can either have National Headquarters email us a copy of the roster or I can supply a picture that I have of his shingle. How would we best go about this? This is an interesting topic because it leads me to wonder how many other prominent brothers are being left unmentioned because we can't logistically "prove" their brother status due to the same internet-based constraints. Nationals rarely updates their list of prominent brothers so by what other means can we prove people to be brothers? Thanks for your help and input.

Bluegrass music groups recategorization

Bluegrass music groups was a subcategory of Country music groups. Since there was a category for American country music groups under the category American country music, I wanted to create a subcategory for the American bluegrass music groups that could be listed in American country music groups. When I finished re-categorizing the bluegass music groups and there was still one left, I thought it was only appropriate to sub-categorize it too. I did the same with Bluegrass musicians, but in this case, the category American bluegrass musicians was pre-existing and underpopulated. There was no discussion prior to the move.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Unfortunately, it seems it's pretty much impossible to actually have allmusic accepted as an unreliable source, no matter what weight of evidence or logical argument is put forward. But still, I for one won't be accepting them as a worthwhile source, and any further evidence of that or support from other users is great. Cheers. Prophaniti (talk) 18:11, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bluegrass Unlimited

Yes - I see that you created a new article about BU - well done! We're glad the footnote from the Forrester article was of value. Hopefully, many other bluegrass aficionados will build upon your BU article in coming months. Have you thought about other Wikipedia articles on the IBMA and SPGBMA?

Re: Ann Arbor, Michigan reference

Yeah, I was aware of that guideline, but I just wanted to get a reference in there before it gets on the Main Page, at least until I can find a better one. Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 20:24, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Wikipedia:Reliable source examples is simply an essay, which means it contains the thoughts of one or more editors, not a guideline or a policy that editors must follow. :) Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 21:01, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

True, but as it was a .org site, I felt safer citing it for the time being. In any event, I agree that the current source is a lot more reliable. Cheers, Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 13:51, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eglinton Tournament

I've reviewed Eglinton Tournament of 1839 following your nomination for GA. As it stands, it's not really ready for GA status. I've left comments on the review page, and put the article on hold. I hope you find my comments and suggestions helpful - feel free to discuss any of them with me. Gwinva (talk) 05:22, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
