Virtuoso solo music

[edit]

I think you're overstating the case that Marais was among the first to write virtuosic solo literature. This certainly goes back at least to the "division" music and natural trumpet music of the 16th century and maybe back to the lute solos of the 15th. Badagnani 01:55, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Recordings preserved in the National Recording Registry

[edit]

You have contributed as an editor to the List of recordings preserved in the United States National Recording Registry. It is undergoing an overhaul according to the recent peer review that generated the following feedback. In addition to the changes there, it is undergoing stylistic changes that prevail at lists that have been selected as featured lists. Conversion to wikitable format began with 2002 today because most articles that reach featured list status are in this format. Feel free to convert additional years, add more columns, or add further details. Hopefully many of the editors who have helped edit this page to its pre review state will help improve it to a featured list quality level. I may not return to make further edits until next week.

School Days

[edit]

Thanks for the explanation. I wasn't sure what was up. Wahkeenah 03:59, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Yes...JB did record for Dade Records (owned by Henry Stone). (NOTE: I have to make a correction, as I've put "Dash Records" in the infobox). See the last paragraph under "The Beginnings of The Flames" and footnote 18 for details about the recording.

Brown and his band recorded (Do the) Mashed Potato after Syd Nathan refused to let him record the song. So, as it goes, Brown contacted Henry Stone and asked for help in recording the song. "Mash Potatoes" was recorded under the name "Nat Kendrick & the Swans." Nat Kendrick was Brown's drummer back then, and the group "The Swans" was really The Flames. Although this site mentions the real name of Brown's backing group as "The J.B.'s," I don't think the group had yet changed its name from The Flames, if I have the history correct.This information can be found at http://www.henrystonemusic.com/store/kendrick.htm.

I happened upon this information when I came across an article (interview) about troubles JB had with Syd Nathan not letting him record anything with his group (The Flames), and the article mentioned Henry Stone as the person who helped him get this single on the market. Brown also talked about Henry Stone helping him (in a mentoring role) for "Please, Please, Please." This reference comes from a video clip of an interview with Larry King, which is also in the article (see footnote 19). Now, a new entry needs to be created for "Dash Records."

After re-reading your message, maybe limit the labels to those for which JB did significant recordings? As for Dade Records, JB did other, minor records. So, I'll remove the Dade reference from the infobox since no article can be wikilinked to the label's name, and leave the reference in the main article.


What I was trying to do is to get the main events of JB's life included in the article to at least a point where the article can be reviewed as a featured candidate for one or more portals (besides, class is now in session, and I won't have much more time to work on the article if classload becomes heavy). From what I can see, the article lacks info about JB's politics (MLK, Humphrey and Nixon and a blurb about his view of economics of the AA community) philanthropy/civic activities in his hometown (Thanksgiving turkey and Christmas toy giveaways), and something about the funeral/memorial services (2 public and a private service - links to one of the public memorial services (James Brown Arena) and and private service are included in the footnotes). These paragraphs need not be long, as the article is already long (~77K). I have already drafted a paragraph about his civic activities in Augusta, GA, but haven't had time to put something together about politics or the funeral.

One other thing -- this article may need to be broken up into subsections, particularly the section for the James Brown Revue. Maybe, this section can be summarized (with a picture of the cape), with a link to a subarticle for the Revue. Let me know what you think about this.

I hope I've answered your question. lwalt 04:07, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to your message about Dade Records and JB list of top ten singles

[edit]

Yes...the top ten singles list and the chronological LP collections are redundant, since a fuller list is already available. Maybe this information can be moved to the subarticle for JB's discography and can represent his best of his charted records as a summary. The the notable albums and singles, on the other hand, can be left in the article, since the list is much shorter. Besides, the albums and singles on the "notable" list are notable for being the best of Rolling Stone's 500 greatest.

About the James Brown Revue - this section now seems self-contained. If this section is separated from the main article, an introduction to this material needs to be included. I'm pretty sure that, when this article goes up for a feature article review, someone else may point this out. But, for right now, I'll leave this section in the main JB article.

BTW, as you can see, I removed the reference to "Dade" from the infobox, and I'll let the reference stand in the main text. lwalt 06:27, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Protection for the James Brown article

[edit]

After getting fed up with the constant vandalism of the article, I requested semi-protection to slow down some of these errant changes. You'll notice a lock on the James Brown article to prevent certain users from fooling around with blanking, adding garbage to or deleting sections from the article. lwalt 10:11, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Criterion Category

About that Criterion Collection category, you may want to look here, as it's likely to get deleted right quick. Doctor Sunshine talk 21:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note ImmocuousPseudonym. No apologies are necessary. Having seen this category deleted three different times my main concern is to try and keep you (or any editor) from putting in a lot of work only to see it eradicated as I know how frustrating that can be. The CC is a wonderful treat for anyone who loves film and I am glad that you like them. Take care and happy editing. MarnetteD | Talk 21:15, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, do you want me to revert your edits adding the criterion collection category? It takes a lot less time with the rollback button. - Bobet 21:28, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Greatest Hits

[edit]

Hello, thank you for your work on List of albums titled Greatest Hits. I noticed that you redirected Greatest Hits Volume One (and several variants) to Greatest hits rather than to List of albums.... I think it would be more appropriate to redirect to the list, because if someone searches specifically for "volume one," they are more likely to be looking for information on a particular album. If you don't object to this, I'd like to change these redirects. Thanks for your work. —taestell 18:29, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I've redirected those pages. —taestell 18:54, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:AsSeenOnTV.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:AsSeenOnTV.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:07, 23 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 14:07, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Duets

[edit]

Nicely done on the duet categories. I considered categorizing duet albums a while ago, but this is far more complete.

I suppose there's a lot more population to be done for vocal duets... Would any song with the vocals of a second singer added to an existing recording after the fact count as a duet? –Unint 03:03, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The current prevailing attitude at CfD seriously disfavors categories reliant on any degree of subjectivity whatsoever. Also, the prevailing attitude of random editors in general suggests... start by assuming that some person is going to interpret the category as broadly as possible.
I'm not personally familiar with the oldies, but I do have similar concerns to yours. If the overdubbing is trivial to that extent... is there any other qualifying characteristic? Are there enough examples to warrant a subcategory for overdubs? (I'll offer Slipping Away as another candidate.) –Unint 03:51, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The practice being as profuse as you describe it, I'm still thinking about intent. It seems to defeat the purpose, for example, to put everything on Duets (Frank Sinatra album) into the top-level category, as the whole point of the album seems to be that the songs are far better known as solo performances. On the other hand, simply subcategorizing overdubs would place "In Private" in the top-level category, though its duet version (Pet Shop Boys and Elton John) was an obscure non-album track.
In any case, I like "solo recordings later overdubbed as duets" (as they were first solo), although it sounds a bit odd to have temporal qualifications like "later" in categories. Would "songs overdubbed as duets" be enough qualification? (by implication, they were not originally duets...)
Also, for "Slipping Away", the relevant part is actually further down ("French and Spanish language versions"). I would not say, however, that most remixes could be described as "duets" by any stretch of the imagination. –Unint 22:43, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Categories

[edit]

One problem, which I just seem to have been unsuccessful in changing, is that what used to be a "Songs by composer" category is now "Songs by songwriter" and there is a gross non-parallelism here; lyricists have their own supercategory and those who write music do not. I really do not feel happy about this situation, and until we can find some way to fix it, I hesitate to do what you suggested. I could not even get people to discuss this problem; instead there got to be a hang-up on the question of whether "musicwriter" is a legitimate word (I had suggested that it was better than "composer" for popular music writers, since "composer" to me suggests classical music. All the comments seemed to be on that point, rather than on the necessity to reverse the unfortunate folding of musicwriters into songwriters!)

Covers, blah

[edit]

I know, I've really got my work cut out with these rationales, I thought that the fair use tag was enough...It's clear that it's for an album! I've recieved no feedback on wether the tag will be lifted, and I don't know the appeals process, they often make it so oblieque for people unfamiliar with their bizzare system. In a worst case scenario, couldn't we just upload them again with loads of info? Thanks for messaging the beta, Don't let the Wikinazis grind you down... By the way, Betty Carter is def the best article on a jazz vocalist, it's a shame that she's the least known! Gareth E Kegg 01:05, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your response to Gareth:
If you have an image deleted for lack of rationale, the best process would be to write the rationale and contact the deleting admin who can undelete the image and add the rationale. ~ BigrTex 21:22, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:BettyCarterLiveattheVillageVanguard.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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, 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. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 01:34, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Acceptable rationales

[edit]

I noticed your message on BetacommandBot's talk page:

Hope this helps. ~ BigrTex 21:18, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck with that. ~ BigrTex 21:32, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I believe that the rationale I put up on Image:Dottie West-Special Delivery.jpg should suffice for now. There is some question in my mind whether album covers whose articles do not specifically address the cover with 'critical commentary' will continue to be allowed. Technically (according to Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images) they are not allowed, but currently they obviously are being allowed and it will take a lot of time and effort to change that status quo. ~ BigrTex 21:45, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please feel free to pass it along to anyone, with some caveats:
  1. It really only works for album covers on the album page, not elsewhere (artist page, discographies, etc)
  2. It is best if it links to both the album page and the artist page so that if it gets lost, someone can put it back where it belongs
  3. It needs to point to the real source - or say something about how the source doesn't matter because the copyright is held by the artist/record company
  4. I can't guarantee that it will suffice now or in the future.

I've tried to do those as you suggested, but I'm sure there are a _lot_ I haven't found. If you see any, just put in the supercategory references. -- BRG 14:59, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2007_May_30 the decision was to permit recreating the Category:Songs by composer category, so I have done that. And currently there are a fair number (61 as I write this) of [[Category:Songs with music by...]] entries in there. -- BRG 19:54, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tundra Publishing

[edit]

Thanks for doing that. Would it be a good idea to delete Category: Tundra Press and Category: Tundra Press titles? As the only editor on them (before your redirects) I can tag them with {{db-self}} and get them speedied. I think this would be preferable to having a redirect.

Tramps

On 7th August "The Lady is a Tramp" was moved to "This Lady Is a Tramp", after little discussion by User:Yip1982. What do you think? They say it is the original title, yet the ibdb disagrees, [1] as do the many readings by Frank/Tony/Mel/Sammy and Buddy Greco, and Ella, who should be the one using "This" if anyone...

Hi. I wanted to ask your thoughts about List of P-Funk projects. According to its title, it aims to be:

a chronological list with all known projects with contributions from P-Funk members, released and unreleased. It also features the pre-P-Funk and post-P-Funk projects from these members.

An entire encyclopedia could be filled with every record that included George Clinton, Bernie Worrell, or Bootsy Collins, not to mention Sly Stone, Maceo Parker, and Fred Wesley (to name just a few of the people who are included).

I'm thinking of nominating the list for deletion under WP:NOT#INFO, but I wanted to ask your opinion first. Do you think I should leave it alone? Should it be limited in scope and turned into an overall P-Funk discography without including session work)?

Any thoughts? Thank you. — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 23:15, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Never, Never Gonna Give You Up: about wrong titles form

[edit]

Hi! I am so sorry, you're right: it's my usual problem, i.e. I know exactly how the title should be correctly spelt following Wiki rules, as for album or single song titles, but each and every time I end up by doing the same thing in reverse, and quite often no-one realizes nor tell me, so if it's not myself realizing it while subsequently re-reading the given article, the mistake punctually stays there, alas! So, that's whay I thank you very much and again say that I am sorry, but I was working on another page at the time (belonging to Lisa Stansfield's), and the "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up" page, I just came across by chance, when I decided to expand it - I was still doing the other one, which I left open to add on "Never, Never..."... By the way, is it right, right now?!?! Let's check it back... Oh yes, OK! It is: I thought I had written again something like Never, never... etc. See you the next page round. Good-night and always check me out, please: these things, I feed off them - I graduated in Germanic Philology, y'see, and such small details are so much important for me only most of the times, but they need a careful eye to be seen, which neither I sometimes have... I count on you then. Ciao!--TTZnju (talk) 19:50, 19 February 2008 (UTC) P.S. Sorry for being so "philologically heavy" in my writing too!!! :)[reply]

Jazz: proposal about name of the category

[edit]

'Category:jazz vocal albums' sounds much better to my ears, but it depends upon the other category, if it does exist, and whether it's 'Category:Jazz instrumental albums' or 'Category:Instrumental jazz albums'. Anyway, they might be both changed, mightn't they?

Never, Never Gonna Give You Up

Hi! How ya doin'? As you've been suggesting, I've been adding the InfoBox to the Lisa Stansfield cover version of Barry White's "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up" original song, plus some additional information concerning the related eponymous remix album, which includes 2 of the many remixes originally contained on the CD single release of the track. Go on check it out if you will, and then please report if it fits, again if you will. I've tried to be as short as I could, since I noticed that you've been synthesizing some of my previous sentences, which were actually too long sometimes. Thank you very much for your attention. Have a nice evening. --TTZnju (talk) 19:41, 21 February 2008 (UTC) P.S. By the way, I was also referring to the spelling differences between album titles and "single song titles" myself, and not to the general name of the page, which I took for granted was correct...[reply]

Subpages

[edit]

My apologies for taking so long to get back to you.

For reasons unknown to me, the powers that be decided that subpages are a no-no. Until about two years ago, the standard way of generating an article that was a subtopic of another - and of interest only to those reading the main article, but possibly giving more detail than the casual reader would care to see - was as a subpage. One example might be the Cast of Characters in a novel, movie, or TV series. Thus "Wilkins Micawber" would be found on a page located hierarchically under David Copperfield and "Severus Snape" would be physically located under Harry Potter. And ... in the case at hand, artists associated with The Saints would be under the song itself.

Under the new system, what used to be subpages are now moved up one level on the database and are only connected by standard links to the basic article. In terms of navigating Wikipedia, it makes absolutely no difference; what has changed is that subarticles no longer have a specific logical connection to their primaries. So ... When the Saints Go Marching In (artists) is logically independent of When the Saints Go Marching In, although for the life of me, I can't imagine why someone would want to look at the former while having no interest in the latter.

Thay can't seem to suppress the vandals (grumble, grumble), but create a subpage and within two days, some busybody will be screaming for it to be changed into a separate article.

See Wikipedia:Subpages, disallowed uses #3. Also see the "History" section below that.

As you are one of the top five contributors, I'm letting you know that James Brown has been nominated for GA Review, and I have started the review. SilkTork *YES! 10:51, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is a lot of work to do. I have put it on hold for seven days; but given the low level of activity so far, I anticipate that the work will not be completed by that time, and the nomination will fail. SilkTork *YES! 17:46, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

[edit]

Hello InnocuousPseudonym! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person.

--Shockhead45 (talk) 10:15, 7 February 2010 (UTC) Dude, are you the person who, switched the original Planet Rock (single) image for it? Because my Ipod erased itself last Wed. and one of the album artworks, I loved was that funky/spacey/colorful album that had red wavy bars on the front, with a blue BG, and a planet in between "Planet" and "Rock". Now I can't find it anywhere.[reply]

We can't go on like this...

[edit]

"Summertime (song)" is huge now, and looks terrible. How can we include versions w/out ending up like this? Gareth E Kegg (talk) 18:40, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kitsch etc.

[edit]

Hi. There is presently a (mostly civil) debate in the Talk:Kitsch page about the Kitsch#21st_century_kitsch_issue_involves_copyright_infringement section. I see you edited and later tagged it, so you might want to have your say about what to do with it. Bye, Goochelaar (talk) 13:02, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:CompleteMontereyPop.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:CompleteMontereyPop.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 11:39, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Four years later

[edit]

Nearly four years ago, you used {{sir}} to request an infobox for My Blue Heaven (song). Well, patience is a virtue: I added one, and worked a lot on the article while I was at it. 72.244.204.218 (talk) 05:16, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
