Question on recent rollback
Hey Chubbles, I saw that you recently reverted A Lighter Shade of Brown and I don't fully understand why you rolled back my reference update. You said that "the AMG ref did not verify the information inserted". I don't know what 'AMG' means in that context, and I did verify that the source says that DTTX died in a coma after 11 days on July 18th. Did my edit just get caught in the crossfire of reverting the prior IP-user edits? I'd appreciate clarification before I try and update/fix the bare url source on the page. Thanks, CheesedToMeetYou (talk) 21:40, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
- You are correct that I appear to have reverted two different editors, which I did not realize at the time. My main concern was with the bad IP edits. I'm not sure the TMZ article meets WP:RS, but I've no qualm with the format updating. Chubbles (talk) 02:53, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
Lovitt Records
Hi Chubbles. Myself and Brian run a label called Lovitt. We actively release music from artists from all over the world. You have taken down our Wikipedia entry which we have never maintained — as we understand it would be advertising if we had — but always appreciated having. What is disappointing is that we have a long legitimate history of over 25 years. Lots of press and coverage over time much of it was on the site. We also have released new notable records in the last 5 years including Icelandic artist of the year Sóley and her new record, Mother Melancholia. So, in all humility the discussion around the removal of the page felt like it was built with little awareness of a. the Independent music community or b. DIY culture — what recourse do we have and what steps should we take to have the decision reviewed? It also seems as if some of the users were “sock puppets” and have since been band from Wikipedia. Thank you for your time and let me know if you have any feedback.

- Sir, you have the case all wrong. I fought for the article to be kept in a community deletion process; another editor nominated it for deletion, and the community consensus, over my protestations, was that Lovitt Records was insufficiently notable enough for an article. I know how important Lovitt is; you don't have to sell me on that. But at this point, the only way Lovitt will ever have an article again is for multiple substantial, independent pieces of journalism about Lovitt to surface. That means profiles of the label (not its artists) in a major music magazine, newspaper, music history book, or music encyclopedia. Since it has already been deleted by the sturdiest process for deletion Wikipedia has, the community bias will be against reinstating the article without a convincingly large amount of independent, third-party media coverage. If you can find me such coverage, I am willing to work on reinstating the article. I would encourage you to send it to me rather than adding it yourself; Wikipedia very much looks down on people writing their own articles, and since yours was already deleted, it's overwhelmingly likely it will be deleted again if someone with a vested interest tries.

Lovitt
Hi again. We couldn’t figure out how to reply to your thoughtful response to my original questions. I understand — kind of — what you are saying. I also appreciate the advocacy. At the end of the day how we measure the relevance of culture being mapped back to mainstream media or coverage can be counter intuitive. So, it seems unlikely that a New York Times piece is pending, and maybe if Wikipedia doesn’t have criteria otherwise that it might be a lost cause in any case. We will keep releasing artists we care about and hope that it’s enough. I am not pointing any fingers at you, just that you were kind enough to reply. Thank you.
Good luck and take care. 122.58.94.217 (talk) 01:01, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

- @Mcguy15: Coverage of an artist's work is coverage of that artist. There's no encyclopedic logic to having articles about albums or songs that pass WP:GNG without having an article about the corresponding artist; we would be the only encyclopedia functioning in that way if we did.

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages
Thank you for your recent articles, including The Structure of Crystals, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You can also use a friendly script for that. You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 15:38, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Origin in lead sentence
Hi Chubbles, I removed the orgin of an artist from the lead sentence as is the case with most if not all well written bios. If the person's origins has something to do with notability then it can be included. This goes for ethnicity as well. I have seen alot of rappers need this addressed, but please look at well written bios of rappers and see this is the case. Thank you, Malerooster (talk) 18:33, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- I'm intimately familiar with WP:ETHNICITY, and would agree with you if this were an issue relating to ethnicity or race, but that's a different matter than place/region. Because of the size of the country and the regional diversity of American musical cultures, it's quite common on musical artist pages for the first sentence of the lede to be structured, "Joe Sixpack is an American musician from City, State", or "The Sixpack Band is an American musical group from City, State". In any case, when sourced, it's certainly not something we would want removed, as it is clearly encyclopedic. Chubbles (talk) 02:51, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

- New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
- Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, it basically boils down to checking CSD, notability, and title). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
- If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions. You can apply for the user-right HERE.
- If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message at the reviewer's discussion board.

Undid revision 1191582823
Hello Chubbles, maybe you're right to undo my revision, following the regulations. Aside from these, there is always a small space where personal opinion comes into play, and I question your standards: Yes, they are "contentious claims" - that's why they're filed under "criticism", and not "history". And what exactly is so "poorly sourced" when 4 bands independently express the same bad experience with this label? And about 50 more bands take part in a public discussion - and also express the same bad experiences here? Many bands have been ripped off by this label, and these unknown bands have no lobby, their only means are their social media channels - an entry on Wikipedia would have helped to prevent other bands from having the same bad experience... Giving no voice to the bands betrayed does nothing but help to ensure nothing changes in these fraudulent business practices. 2003:D5:FF4C:2500:7C66:F2A4:222E:2F3C (talk) 10:26, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
- Criticism of the sort you added to the article needs to come from an independent reliable source - that is, it needs to be from a third-party publication (not directly involved in the matter, as all of these bands are) that has editorial oversight of its articles. Otherwise, Wikipedia is opening itself up to possible legal action by taking a side based on hearsay, in a way that could negatively impact someone's business.

NARAS National Assoc Recording arts & sciences requirements
All memberships of the NARAS Grammys are required to prove to a panel of piers in official capacity whether their recorded products meet certain standards plus at this time 12 releases required to even apply. To be a VOTING member of the Grammy awards is also an honor to judge recorded releases by artists in a two tiered process. Unlike other popularity public votes for non tv broadcast national awards, the Grammy voting members are given a document noting the years of their service. The editors of Wikipedia are often unable to know the hard work of achievements to reach the highest USA music recording industry Grammy, Oscar or Emmys given to the best in the entertainment business. The editors like Gabby who decide some of the artists on Wikipedia.org pages must have their Grammy voting category or other proven accomplishments removed must reassess their deeds asap. This decision for Wikipedia.org reputations declines when facts are posted then edited out maliciously before the business is harmed as they harm their own reputations, don’t you think? 2600:8801:8606:350:8BF:8902:CC92:BDAB (talk) 19:31, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

I know you want articles about record labels as spammy and unverified as possible, but a slow edit war is still a slow editwar. Why do you not try to add independent sources (i.e. not the personal website of the artists or the company website) to the article. The Banner talk 09:22, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
Warning
![Stop icon](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f1/Stop_hand_nuvola.svg/30px-Stop_hand_nuvola.svg.png)
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Question about Ralph Peterson, Jr. rollback
I see that you reverted an edit I made to Ralph Peterson Jr. for PEACOCK/"puffery." The information about Peterson's father was taken from his New York Times obituary, and his relationship with this locally notable individual may indeed shed light on his "early life." I am new to Wikipedia editing, and am happy to learn more about what is or is not appropriate to include. If I made a formatting error, I would eager to correct it. Thanks! Game was rigged from the start (talk)
- I see now that I've made a mistake, here. My main concern was with the text, "Probably the most prominent drummer of his generation to consistently front his own groups, he was also an insightful educator and mentor." This text, which if in the body of the article would violate WP:PEACOCK, I now see is actually the subheadline of the New York Times article. I'll correct the error. Chubbles (talk) 01:06, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks--I'm trying to get the hang of this. Is it better not to include the subheads?
- I am working on adding more information to this page based on interviews that Peterson has done in the jazz press, as well as information from sources like Downbeat magazine and other outlets listed as reliable sources. Anything you suggest taking a look at? I appreciate the help. Game was rigged from the start (talk) 01:14, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- I guess in most cases the headline is sufficient, unless it's so short that the subhead better helps identify the article. I just misread it in context. As for sourcing, I got a ton of use out of the New Grove Dictionary of Jazz. It's expensive on paper (maybe a local library has it), and you have to pay for a subscription (unless you have an association with a good university!), but it's a wonderful trove of topical information.

- Thanks for the suggestion. This is a dry run for what might be a bigger project, so I appreciate the help. Game was rigged from the start (talk) 02:12, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Brief Biography - i'm sowwy :C
Charles Leander Evander Worthington-Chubbles Jr. (also known as "Charles Chubbles", or "Chubbs") was born on April 5, 1986, in a warehouse south of Chernobyl, 3 weeks before the event occurred. He is known for his hand in both the creation of Epstein's Island and the 9/11 attacks. He is an active supporter of the Kiersten Jones Wikipedia 34 Movement (which can be found by searching "Wikipedia" on Rule 34). 2600:1700:2D23:C8B0:3C4B:C248:4AD6:E353 (talk) 21:31, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Santi Debriano
Can you explain to me why you canceled my edits? Every sentence had a reference.--Марко Станојевић (talk) 15:14, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- There were substantial problems with the writeup and footnoting. Many of the footnotes you added are not references per WP:RS; for instance, smallslive.com is a website for a concert venue, and is not an independent editorial source like a newspaper or magazine. You also included links to Amazon.com, which is a commercial website, and Bandcamp, which is a digital streaming/sale website (while Bandcamp does have some independent journalism, you linked to a commercial artist page). Jazzleadsheets, too, is a commercial music sale site. Furthermore, you've included promotional language (such as what books are for sale on Amazon.com) and a lot of language that violates Wikipedia's guidelines WP:PROMO and WP:PEACOCK (such as, "He has great knowledge in the field of jazz and respects different cultures and traditions" - this is unverifiable information that puffs up the subject of the article rather than explains neutrally what he did in his career). Improvements to the article will need to fix all these problems; the previous version of the article did not have nearly so many issues and that's why I reverted. Chubbles (talk) 15:26, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- OK. I will correct everything you said to make the article good. I didn't know that those sites were not allowed to be used. Thanks for the explanation.--Марко Станојевић (talk) 15:31, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- I took a big stab at fixing up some of the issues, retaining some of the good references you added. Chubbles (talk) 15:34, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- Can the site "onestopjazzcollective.com" be used in the article?--Марко Станојевић (talk) 15:40, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- According to its website [9], it is a commercial promoter, so I would not recommend it. There is lots of good independent jazz journalism that covers Debriano; the Allmusic and Allaboutjazz pages are good starts, and he probably has an entry in The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz, if you can access that.

Can I complete the discography? There is no single album (as sideman) from the 21st century.--Марко Станојевић (talk) 17:21, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, but please keep the formatting intact. Chubbles (talk) 20:44, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
