Untitled[edit]

Calling his father "controversial" without citing a notoable example from a reliable source is not neutral point of view, and not necessarily relevant to the subject of the article.

The statement about dropping out of school is unsourced and the policy on living person encourages immediate removal of unsourced facts, which I'm doing...

The watchman.org source cited lists the Church of Jesus Christ (Mormons) as a cult[1] along with selling materials for Christians to bring Mormons back to the real Christian church. Is this really a reliable source per wikipedia standards?... Their article makes transitions between quotes from articles that are 15-20 years old, and uses techniques like "guilt by association" (A is similar B, and B is bad, therefore A is bad).

Frankly, I think the entire article should be removed. The only real insight is that he runs the Talk Radio Network. Their web site makes references in a few press releases, but other than that does not discuss who owns or runs the company... I've added a really weak source that lists him as a speaker at a NAB convention

This is the worst of Wikipedia. A press release, not an article. Should be removed.

This is just a puff piece. It reads like a cut-and-pasted press release, which is probably what it is. As it is, it has no business in Wikipedia. 24.111.18.50 04:47, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect[edit]

The subject is covered by his name entry ay the network piece. I will redirect. Objections? --Stormbay (talk) 00:09, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merging proposal[edit]

I suggest we merge this article into a short new section in Talk Radio Network. That seems like the best solution for this one-sentence article. If no resistance is met, I'll do it soon. Shalom11111 (talk) 09:11, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The "real" Mark Masters?[edit]

I found this guy while looking for an article on the great jazz arranger. I had never heard of him and was dismayed to see that Grachan Moncur III's article linked to him instead of to the "real" Mark Masters. So I created an article for the arranger, and corrected the link in Grachan's article.

Then I took a link at what articles are linked to this media executive and saw:

I don't know anything about either of these individuals, but would guess that the links in their pages are also erroneous. DutchmanInDisguise (talk) 18:18, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yet another "Mark Masters"?[edit]

While adding links to the jazz guy to several pages, I came across a whole bunch of references to a record company called Mark Masters, with the name possibly based on the Masonic order. Enough stuff has been recorded by notable musicians for that label that it probably deserves a page of its own — a project for another day! DutchmanInDisguise (talk) 18:57, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Today, I took care of the two bogus links I mentioned above, linking Ursula to the record company, and unlinking Miguel. The Mark Masters mentioned in his article is obviously somebody in Ottawa who has nothing to do with the right-wing talk network guy, the jazz musician OR the record label. I'll leave him to our Canadian wikipedians. DutchmanInDisguise (talk) 16:21, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
