Wade Mainer

Hi. I've had to remove a large portion of your contributions to Wade Mainer because you did not provide any citations so that the material that you added can be verified. Wikipedia articles, especially those about living people cannot contain any uncited material. If you can provide a citation for this material, you are more than welcome to re-insert the material or, if you'd prefer, you can provide me with the citation, I'll reinsert it myself, since I obviously have an interest in making Mainer's article as complete as possible! Cheers, CP 14:34, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Edits to Blind Alfred Reed April 2008

Article is much improved, looks great. (Gulf3 (talk) 01:57, 24 April 2008 (UTC))

Riley Puckett at Midwestern Hayride

I read it in the Hayride article. But Puckett died in 1947 and the Midwestern Hayride started around 1948, maybe 1947. What's your source for Puckett's membership or guest appereance? The yodeling cowboy (talk) 11:18, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Fate Norris living dates

Hello Popiloll, I just saw your additions you made in the Skillet Lickers article concerning Fate Norris. His death date is a very rare information, I didn't know when he died. What's your source? Regards, The yodeling cowboy (talk) 22:09, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

The source for his death date originates from the Spring 1997 volume of the Chattooga County Historic Society Quarterly. See this link. --Popiloll (talk) 13:22, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Very interesting conversation. I will update Norris' german article with this information. Thanks, The yodeling cowboy (talk) 10:12, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Ron Wylie

Hi, and thanks for correcting Ron Wylie's date of birth. But please don't remove the hidden Persondata section from biographical articles. It's supposed to be there: see WP:Persondata to read about it. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:13, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I just couldn't understand why it was supposed to be there. Now I do. My mistake.--Popiloll (talk) 12:23, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

No probs!! and keep up the good work with the dobs. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:25, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Uncle Dave Macon

Nice work on the Uncle Dave Macon article. The overhaul I was mulling for the article is now no longer necessary. I simply add a few sentences to the lede and a brief section on his playing style. Bms4880 (talk) 00:53, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

David Fishel

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Dates of birth

I just wanted to say what a fantastic job you've done on the bio pages. When do you find time to sleep? You fully deserve the barnstar which will no doubt be heading your way. All the best. Dalliance (talk) 09:20, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

I'll second that! Absolutely marvellous effort on your part. Thanks for all that work! Dsp13 (talk) 15:34, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Blind Alfred Reed

Regarding the {{pagenumbers}} tag I added to Blind Alfred Reed, is it not possible to pin down page numbers for the entries in "Bibliography"? --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 12:14, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't get it? The page numbers are shown under "notes" and not under "bibliography". I don't see the problem here? --Popiloll (talk) 18:57, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

My mistake! I wasn't looking closely enough at these sections. In some articles I've seen, these 2 types of sections are independent, wherein the "notes" section is more like a standalone "references" section (don't ask me why). Now that I'm looking at these sections correctly, I see how they're properly connected. Sorry to waste your time. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 23:07, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Barnstar

		Gold Barnstar
		For winning the Total Corrections contest for Biographical pages with several incompatible dates of birth, I hereby award you this Gold Barnstar! Your outstanding final score of 3133 corrections was more than all of the other competitors combined, and you often fixed entries that others had left behind because they were too difficult. It is safe to say that without your help, this drive would never have been completed. Thank you. --Cryptic C62 · Talk 22:48, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Butch Baker

Just letting you know. a.) When listing a birth date, please use the {{birth date and age}} template if the person is still alive. and b.) The sources you added weren't reputable; I swapped them out for a better source that verifies the date.

Jewel/Paula/Ronn Records

A linkable citation was found that refutes your claim that Sue Records was a sublabel of Jewel/Paula/Ronn Records. Sue Records of Louisiana owned Jewel/Paula/Ronn at one time. Steelbeard1 (talk) 14:37, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of John H. Lee (musician)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on John H. Lee (musician) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. — Alpha3031 (t • c) 13:19, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
