== Rod Stewart ==
Just a doffing of my cap in admiration for [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rod_Stewart&diff=295001784&oldid=294964024 this edit]. I've read that paragraph dozens of times, and never noticed it. I've also heard it said he was born at an early age, but can't find a cite to confirm. --<font color="purple">[[User:Escape_Orbit|Escape Orbit]]</font> <sup>[[User_talk:Escape_Orbit|(Talk)]]</sup> 16:35, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi Sssoul...I've added several singles titles and promo titles to your Jagger/Richards listing, all of course can be found in [[The Rolling Stones discography]]. Now this list really looks complete. Nice work you've done on this yourself! Best, --[[Special:Contributions/76.198.234.254|76.198.234.254]] ([[User talk:76.198.234.254|talk]]) 00:48, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:thanks for the encouraging words - but it's not "my listing". i just tidied it up some. [[User:Sssoul|Sssoul]] ([[User talk:Sssoul#top|talk]]) 10:31, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

== Citation needed ==

OK , all fxed up, thanks for the note. That is the "biggest" template, probably 500 new instances a day, so it's good to get it right. ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich ]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough| Farmbrough]]'' 11:52 [[4 July]] [[2009]] (UTC).

==[[Pop music]]==
Hi. I did do the research, and spotted a couple of errors in the text and also tried to provide a slight expansion of the article, which I think will give it some of the things it needs without opening up the danger of it becoming a list of popular music artist. I'd really appreciate it if you could have a look at it on my sandbox at: [[User:Sabrebd/Sandbox]] and let me know what you think when you can find the time.--[[User:Sabrebd|Sabrebd]] ([[User talk:Sabrebd|talk]]) 12:33, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
:hello and thanks for the work, and for asking me to have a look. i'm really busy these days, but from a cursory glance it looks like you're moving in some right directions here, but also at times veering mighty close to that problem of differentiating between this particular genre and [[popular music]]. the way record charts classify things, for example, is not an especially reliable genre guideline - look at the history of the term [[R&B]], for example, and the terms it replaced/has been replaced by over the decades. that's just one reason i feel record chart classifications belong in the article on [[record chart]]s, way more than in this one.
:i'd also like to think about some smoother/clearer phrasing for the first sentence of the rewrite. as i say i am really busy right now but i will be thinking about it.
:again thanks for working on this. [[User:Sssoul|Sssoul]] ([[User talk:Sssoul#top|talk]]) 15:12, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

::Thanks very much for finding time to look this and comment. I will probably give it a little bit of time (I find it easier to spot my own errors then), then do a re-edit based on your points before I post it. You can always edit it on the article at some later date when you get more time. The reference to charts was just a statement of fact, as that was the first reference the OED could find, but I do see what you mean, pop and charts are not the same, that error was one of the big problems with the earlier long article. --[[User:Sabrebd|Sabrebd]] ([[User talk:Sabrebd|talk]]) 15:29, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

::Just to let you know I tried to incorporate your comments and posted it, mainly as I wanted my sandbox back. If you come up with better or more elegant solutions you can always edit it there, I am pretty unlikely to object. Thanks.--[[User:Sabrebd|Sabrebd]] ([[User talk:Sabrebd|talk]]) 20:58, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

:::thanks - it looks mainly good. could you clarify this part, though, please and thank you? i'd tackle it myself as you invited me to above, but i don't understand it:
::::*From the 1950s the term "pop music" began to be used to to describe a distinct genre, initially to distinguish it in the newly emerging charts of record sales
:::i'd smooth it out to something like "The use of the term "pop music" to describe a distinct genre started in the 1950s. Initially it was used to distinguish the newly recognized genre in record-sales charts ..." but ... [scratching head] ultimately i don't understand what that actually means: to distinguish it from what? if "from rock and roll", then this statement is redundant vis-a-vis the bit that follows it. and to me the bit that follows it reads better, is more informative and is more appropriately sourced. [[User:Sssoul|Sssoul]] ([[User talk:Sssoul#top|talk]]) 07:16, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I see your point, this is what happens when you try to compact too much into a few sentences. The only way I can see of clarifying the section is to expand it - perhaps something like:

::The term "pop song" is first recorded as being used in 1926 in the sense of a piece of music "having popular appeal".<ref name=OED>J. Simpson and E. Weiner, ''Oxford English Dictionary'' (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1989), cf pop.</ref> From the 1950s the term "pop music" began to be used to draw a distinction with the newly emerging charts of record sales from the former "race music" of [[rhythm and blues]].<ref name=OED/> This [[traditional pop music]] was dominated by white singers, of which the most successful was [[Frank Sinatra]], usually backed by large jazz bands. With the arrival of [[rock 'n' roll]] in the mid-1950s, pop became identified with music aimed at a youth market. As the initial rock 'n' roll impulse subsided, [[teen pop]] music became the most important form of music in record sales, dominated by the [[Brill Building|Brill Building Sound]].<ref name=Firth2001>S. Frith, "Pop Music" in S. Frith, W. Stray and J. Street, ''The Cambridge Companion to Pop and Rock'' (Cambridge University Press, 2001), pp. 93-108.</ref> Initially, the [[beat music]] and [[blues]] orientated bands of the [[British invasion]] were viewed as simply part of pop music, but in its aftermath, from about 1967, as some bands, including the [[Beatles]] and [[Rolling Stones]], moved into more ambitious territory orientated towards albums, the term was increasingly used in opposition to [[rock music]], to describe a form that was more commercial, ephemeral and accessible.<ref name=Warner2003>T. Warner, ''Pop music: technology and creativity: Trevor Horn and the digital revolution'' (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2003), p. 3.</ref> Although pop music is often seen as oriented towards the singles charts, as a genre it is not the sum of all chart music, which have always contained songs from a variety of sources, including [[classical]], [[jazz]], rock, and [[novelty song]]s, while pop music as a genre is usually seen as existing and developing separately.<ref>R. Serge Denisoff, and William L. Schurk, ''Tarnished gold: the record industry revisited'' (Transaction Publishers, 3rd edn., 1986), pp. 2-3.</ref>

This is rough and I haven't had chance to footnote it properly. I am away for a couple of days if you can get the chance to look it over. Not sure if I have diluted the pop music as genre idea.--[[User:Sabrebd|Sabrebd]] ([[User talk:Sabrebd|talk]]) 07:48, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

:thanks for this - there are lots of interesting points in what you wrote, but yeah it does undermine the point that this article is about a specific genre quite a lot. i think part of the problem is that lots of sources in fact don't distinguish clearly between [[popular music]] in general and the specific genre that this article is trying to be about. a lot of what you've written above would work nicely in the [[popular music]] article, but i feel that the [[pop music]] article was better off with the previous unelaborated statement from allmusic.com to the effect that starting in the 1950s the term was used to refer to a specific genre viewed as a "lighter" alternative to rock & roll, and then writing about the characteristics of <u>that</u> genre, without slithering into the territory that record charts were calling "pop". that's a different kettle of fish, truly. [[User:Sssoul|Sssoul]] ([[User talk:Sssoul#top|talk]]) 10:33, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

::Back to basics (trying to balance accuracy with clarity):

::The term "pop song" is first recorded as being used in 1926 in the sense of a piece of music "having popular appeal".<ref name=OED>J. Simpson and E. Weiner, ''Oxford English Dictionary'' (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1989), cf pop.</ref> From the 1950s the term "pop music" began to be used to to describe a distinct genre, aimed at a youth market, often as a softer alternative to [[rock 'n' roll]].--[[User:Sabrebd|Sabrebd]] ([[User talk:Sabrebd|talk]]) 08:10, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

:::looks good - can we change the second sentence a bit, to avoid the awkward "from the 1950s" and the mysterious missing participle in the "often as" clause - often <u>what</u> as - often described as?? often conceived of as?? something like ... hm ... how's this:
::::Starting in the 1950s the term "pop music" has been used to to describe a distinct genre, aimed at a youth market, often characterized as a softer alternative to [[rock and roll]].
:::[[User:Sssoul|Sssoul]] ([[User talk:Sssoul#top|talk]]) 13:48, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

::::Looks good to me--[[User:Sabrebd|Sabrebd]] ([[User talk:Sabrebd|talk]]) 22:02, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

:::::<s>actually i woke up realizing that "often characterized by" is [[WP:weasel|"weasel wording"]]: <u>who</u> often characterizes it that way?? i guess taking out the "often" and adding the allmusic ref would solve that problem, though. [[User:Sssoul|Sssoul]] ([[User talk:Sssoul#top|talk]]) 07:04, 16 July 2009 (UTC)</s> sorry and pass the caffeine, please - i now see what you've done in the article, and as long as that source supports the "often characterized" that's all very cool indeed. thanks very much! [[User:Sssoul|Sssoul]] ([[User talk:Sssoul#top|talk]]) 07:14, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

::::::The source does, but I decided to put the All Music one back in as well, because it is easier to access (and so to support the point). I think I am done with this article for a while as I cannot see any way of expanding without inviting many arguments about the "best pop band ever". I look forward to deleting lists of bands and references to the king of pop for the next few months.

== Question on Wikipedia Survey ==

Hi, Sssoul. we're encouraged by your positive answer on Wikipedia survey in Help-desk. We're considering of cooperating with Wikimedia foundation. The exposure of survey website to Wikipedians matters. In the case of Korean-language, we contacted admins here and they proposed to provide the link to survey website in the front page of Koeran wikipedia. As our research compares two version fo Korean and English, we wonder same method is also possible in English version. What do you think?

:i think it's too bad you didn't sign your post so that i could reply on your talk page! as i wrote on the help desk i hope the English wikipedia would be willing to cooperate with you on your survey but i am not the person to discuss it with - i'm not an administrator and i have no idea who you need to contact. try the [[WP:VP|Village Pump]] - someone there should have some idea who to talk to.

== Happy to oblige ==

Yes, of course I'll help. I've hated this section from the beginning, and resent the tone of its author, especially the implication that somehow, by trying to Wikify unreadable content, other editors are conspiring to minimize LR's influence. In particular, I find the assertion that "you DON'T know the significance of this information!" personally offensive - even though the "you" isn't me. And I despise the use of MySpace pages as encyclopedic sources.

I'll stop by the page in the next 24 hours and post a reasoned commentary. Among the many things I'll mention is the questionable addition of Bowie and the members of AC/DC as LR heirs - nothing against these gents, you understand, it's just....AC/DC? Really?

== Linking ==

I replied to your messages at [[WT:LINK]]. I'm not sure if I answered all of your concerns; in particular, I'm not sure what other archived suggestions you are referring to. What do you mean by "the current structure was imposed prematurely"? Do you mean my edits, or do you refer to an earlier restructuring? I'm asking because I didn't really start out with the intention to impose a structure, but it may have turned out that way. Please don't be afraid to criticize me; I know what I can do alone is far from perfect - that's why we're working in a team! &mdash; [[User:SebastianHelm|Sebastian]] 16:12, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

:by "the current structure" i mean the one imposed a few months ago. the discussion of it is now archived, and i provided a link to in my recent posts and in the section called "back to that proposed restructuring". if you look at the archived discussion, you'll see that the person who implemented it did so in mid-discussion, without taking into account a lot of the points people were raising. [[User:Sssoul|Sssoul]] ([[User talk:Sssoul#top|talk]]) 20:25, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

:: That's a long discussion, and I am not convinced it's the best use of my time to delve into a change history to find out who implemented what when.

Hi Sssoul. Noetica is being a cranky old man. You can safely ignore his grumpiness, which is less than skin-deep, I think. I've started a new section where people can try to sort out the text amicably. Can we try to harmonise/compromise/whatever on this matter? It's [[Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style#Let.27s_start_anew_and_solve_this.3F|here]].

:thanks for stepping in, Tony, and for the reassurance. i don't enjoy being badgered and dissed like that just because i decline to engage in combat; my point is simply that no one editor is authorized to make that kind of change to the MoS without discussion/consensus. whether or not i personally agree with the idea of the change isn't even relevant - that section really does have a history as a battleground. anyway i'm trying to formulate a concise statement as a reply to you. thanks again.

== Thanks for the 'good read' ==

On the good read topic... one interview I've been looking to re-read is an interview with Alan Rogan from Guitar Player Mag... somewhere in the early 80s. It's a great interview where Rogan talks about the gear used by Woody and Keef on the NA/Europe tours from the previous year(s). He talks about the acquisition of Bill Wyman's short scale Travis Bean too. I can't find that mag in my archives. If you know a link... or a link to a scan of that interview I would mucho-appreciate it. Thanks!

== Greetings Sssoul ==

I wanted to thank you for the copyediting you did on my quick dash writing on the [[Mick Taylor]] article. You are good. I ''can be'', in that respect, but just saw words in some place like "supposedly" (which is really a [[weasel word]]) abd so forth, but I shouldn't have been in there editing without having gained a more intimate feel for what had been written all the way through, on the basis of what reliable references existed. Do you use [[Wikimedia Commons]]? I know a photographer who has allowed us a couple of her vintage [[Rolling Stones]] photos: the new [[Keith Richards]] one in black and white, and also the one of [[Mick Taylor]] from the same period. (She knows lots of musicians through many positions in the music industry, so really she isn't ''just'' a photographer. Here's my problem right now. I had been uploading photos to Commons using the "Bryan" [[Flickr]]-upload. When that broke down, I did it manually. Though I've asked for help for over a year, nobody seems to be able to explain to me what a TUSC account is, or does, and the same for ORTIS. As a surprise, my friend sent me via email a photo of a recent [[Mick Taylor]] photo that surely belongs in the infobox, with her blessings. The permission is on the email. But she didn't put it in Flickr, and I don't know how to upload it to Commons myself because I've only dealt with Flickr uploads. Can you do it? If I forwarded the photo to you, could you upload it? It's really bothering me that I can't do it. --[[User:Leahtwosaints|Leahtwosaints]] ([[User talk:Leahtwosaints|talk]]) 20:29, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

:thanks for the encouraging words - i dig your work too. unfortunately, i know nothing at all about uploading images, and am not particularly gifted at figuring out things like that, so i'm afraid i won't be much help with that. the newly contributed photos look mighty fine - please convey my gratitude and appreciation to the photographer.

Hey Sssoul. I was going to rv the latest slew of IP sock edits to the little richard page but thought I would wait for you to review and ponder. If Sssoul says no then libs pop it back. [[User:156.34.142.110|The Real Libs]]-[[User talk:Wiki libs|speak politely]] 08:04, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

== Apology ==

Sssoul, today I just ''had it'' with all the rules that change with the wind in Commons. I freaked out, and you were th unfortunate person in the path of my rage. I'm just so tired of having to adapt every which way there when I've never had any course in using computers and unlike here, few people will try to break it down in layman's terms, and those who do still assume I know far more than I do. So I really am sorry you were there at the time. If you check my user page you'll see I've uploaded so many images, but since I used (a broken) Flickr upload bot, no tally anywhere will actually reflect that. I hope you forgive the outburst. --[[User:Leahtwosaints|Leahtwosaints]] ([[User talk:Leahtwosaints|talk]]) 02:08, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

:no apologies needed - again, i know nothing (0) about image-related issues, so all i can do is sympathize without comprehending. if/when you do have time to ask that photographer to confirm 1972 as the year those shots were taken (or to correct it - but i'm over 99% sure they're from 72) that would be great, but obviously it can wait for a less-frustrated moment. [[User:Sssoul|Sssoul]] ([[User talk:Sssoul#top|talk]]) 08:23, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
::Sssoul, yeah, I'm just begging every competant editor to explain Commons, so sorry 'bout that. I was so sick of seeing NO photos on biography pages it drove me crazy. So after 2 years of editing here, I spent the better part of the last one looking for photos --takes up maybe 40% (or more) of a full day editing, but the reward is cool. The only bummer is these (insert foul language :) people at Commons; it's like you gotta read a freaking manual to understand what half the stuff and templates there are even ''for''. And once you ''do'' understand... ...they change the bleedin' rules! I've not felt so frustrated in my life than with them; unfortunately the photos have to come through Commons.

Oh one other thing, I keep adding pics. Feel free to move them. When possible, until an article is being considered for GA status, if I put a photographer's name in the caption, please leave it there till the last minute as a favor, OK? Some of the photographers (these are mostly pros), are worried about theft of their art. I ''am'' coming to [[Flickr]] and literally asking them to give up their copyright to us! The best I can offer is to put their name for at least some time under the photo so they get the exposure and maybe new customers. I feel that's fair enough. The Stones photos you've seen, and Led Zeppelin ones and some others from other photographers were slated to be sold to books and I've been able to get them to let us have them. Don't know if you've seen my user page but I began listing uploads- there's only 1/4th there and it's a lot. Can we agree on the caption's attribution till GA time?

These comments are preposterous and border on insulting.
You are colluding in so-called editorial actions which are unsupportable and inappropriate, and abusing both the principles of common courtesy and the foundation idea of Wikipedia.
The unfounded allegation that I am spamming is, frankly, absurd and unwarranted.
This dialogue shows me that there in no objectivity and fairness on your part in this process.
You are just going to gang up on me and no matter what rebuttal I present and how much I point to factual support of why my posts were legitimate, your are just "supporting each other".
You have refused to provide any legitimate basis for your decisions and actions, which are clearly without basis. In my eyes, any intellectual discourse should be based on reason and fairness. You have demonstrated neither. This is nothing short of an abuse of power and a shameful action. You can call your self editors, but I deal with professional editors, with legitimate intellectuals and producers daily, and I know Scheisster pretenders when I see them.

== S- thanks! ==

Thanks for the cleanup of all the excessive wikilinks on [[Robert Cray]]. The only reason I left off removing them is because I got an extremely unhappy note on my talkpage from User:Derek Bullamore, who I would have thought by now would agree with me that people who read a biography of a musician would surely know what a record was, without wikifying it. (He disagreed vehemently). It's still on my talk page, it was so recent. Sigh. I've had a good working relationship with him for the past couple of years and hate confrontation, but Robert Cray has played with so many other musicians that I end up returning to the page. I swear, the page was nearly ''all'' blue with links for the slightest thing! I finally told him I'd back off the articles he worked on if he'd do the favor, figuring someone else would find the page as I did, and help bring it back to standards. It was YOU, and a big thank you for doing so.--[[User:Leahtwosaints|Leahtwosaints]] ([[User talk:Leahtwosaints|talk]]) 23:46, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

someone/ people seem to be removing and reverting info that was in there for quite some time and was legit information,

but just want to take it out because its about that guitarist. I think theres a word for that in 'Wiki' talk as they say...

==Keith Richards's Musical Equipment==
Thanks for the help in getting that section up and running. I'm new to Wikipedia, and clearly have a lot of reading to do; I do try to be helpful. I'll have to have a look through my plethora of Stones books for some information on amplifiers - unless, of course, you can cite photographs as legitimate evidence. Is this possible?--Alex MacPherson 16:36, 5 December 2009 (UTC) <small><span class="autosigned"> </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:hello Alexmacpherson - it's great that you started that section, and that you took my edits in the spirit in which they were intended. Wikipedia does seem to have a lot of "rules" at first, but it's only a question of getting the hang of the "house style", and i hope some of the links in that "welcome" thingy i left on your page will be useful to you. meanwhile yeah you can cite a photo, as long as it's a] unmistakably what you say it is, and b] in a book, magazine, website or video that's regarded as a [[WP:RS|reliable source]]. if i can help, let me know.<br />
:by the way, i'm a i'm a she-sssoul, and don't play any musical instruments - but i resonate to them, and i've somehow developed this trainspotterish interest in Keith's guitars.<br />
:happy editing! [[User:Sssoul|Sssoul]] ([[User talk:Sssoul#top|talk]]) 18:36, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
:'''ps:''' one more thing we need to sort out is that the new section repeats some of the information that's already in the [[Keith_Richards#Guitar_playing|"Guitar playing"]] section. i think we could simply delete that paragraph about his instruments - the one between the explanation of open G and his use of effects - and perhaps move this new section closer to that one, but probably it's best to ask on the article talk page to see if other editors envision a different solution. [[User:Sssoul|Sssoul]] ([[User talk:Sssoul#top|talk]]) 19:27, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

I agree; there are definitely some pieces of information that stand to be repeated as we work on this. I think we could probably incorporate "playing style" or something of the sort into the new section: perhaps "musical equipment and playing style" could be the new title. I did a little bit of looking for information on amplifiers, and there really isn't much that's extant. Most of what I know comes from forums of dedicated fans who, despite being absolutely correct in their analysis, aren't considered reputable sources. Any ideas? Is it possible to cite photographs from books, or must everything be text-based?Alex MacPherson 17:02, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

:sorry if i wasnt clear enough above: yes you can "cite" photos if they're in books/magazines/websites that count as reliable sources, and if they're clear enough that there's no question of their identity (a photo wouldn't be enough to assert that Keith's white ES-345 is from 1964, for example). but if both those conditions are met, just give the page number or the url for the photo as you would for text.
:as for the repetition: i guess i wasn't clear about that either. it's not good that the new section repeats stuff that's already in the [[Keith_Richards#Guitar_playing|"Guitar playing"]] section. i've asked for input on how other editors envision solving this on the talk page: [[Talk:Keith Richards#eliminating duplicate information]]. at the moment i think the best solution is to make a separate article out of the "equipment" section, but maybe there's a better way. [[User:Sssoul|Sssoul]] ([[User talk:Sssoul#top|talk]]) 17:15, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough. I found a source for Keith's Fender Twins. As for the signature, I ddidn't think I'd eliminated the link to my talk page. I just checked, and it ought to be there.

I've been following the discussion (or lack thereof) on the KR article's discussion page, and concluded that we are the only two people bent on establishing a proper list of his musical equipment. While your comment about the lack of biographical information is certainly viable, I don't necessarily have the energy to commit to that right now. I'm going to do some more digginga and see what else I can come up with. The perennial problem is, of course, that most published works don't focus on gear; it's solely the domain of the rabid Stones fans. There are forums full of accurate information, but finding legitimate sources is going to be tough. I'll keep you posted though...Alex MacPherson ([[User talk:Alexmacpherson|talk]]) 04:49, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

:not everyone is on line every day, but yeah, maybe no one else is too interested at the moment. which is part of the reason we might consider making the gear section a separate article - not everyone gets into the "technical details". 8) i'll pursue the question of which "solution" we prefer on the article's talk page as soon as i find a minute - i'm pretty busy today, but i hope i'll have time before thursday. maybe i can also email you some articles i have scans of, in case they're useful.
:i sympathize with the difficulty of tackling his biography - especially since it would necessitate dismantling the way the article is structured right now. it's a bit daunting ... ah well, maybe when his autobiography comes out that will be a basis for that undertaking.

== Re: Stones ==

Hi Sssoul, I noticed someone began an article for [[The Dirty Mac]]. I always thought that was just a "one-off" conglomeration of people playing at the Rolling Stones Circus. Anyway, since it's an article, and listed on the page for [[John Lennon]], I added it (reluctantly, really,) to the infobox on the page for [[Keith Richards]]. If it belongs there, it probably merits comment in the section about Keith playing [[bass guitar]] in his section dedicated to that instrument, too. I'm not really involved in the Stones articles currently as much as I'd like to be, and thought you the best person to mention this stuff to. I did upload another photo of Keith at the mic on his page and another of [[Ronnie Wood]] playing with the Stones to his page. Neither is of great quality, but both serve their purpose at the size they are. Lately I've been focusing on the Wikignome stuff I do, and editing [[Derek Trucks]], and [[Rory Gallagher]], (and it looks like I'll have to return to [[Cat Stevens]], as it may easily lose it's GA ranking). Gallagher's article could use help... the best kept secret in [[Rock and Roll]]! So could Cat Stevens if you want a change of pace now and then, (hint!). Thanks for your time. If you respond, please do so on my talk page. --[[User:Leahtwosaints|Leahtwosaints]] ([[User talk:Leahtwosaints|talk]]) 06:12, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

== Dirty Mac ==

Thanks for your answer. I've found two books, one partly authored by [[Jools Holland]], ''The Rolling Stones A Life on the Road'', and another, ''Rolling Stone Interviews'' by [[Jann Wenner]] (who else?) both of which appear to be good reliable sources for several articles. The first book is mainly photos, but is so huge it has a lot of text as well, and touches on the [[Mick Taylor]] era of the [[Rolling Stones]], and has a lot of useful quotes and such. The second book has interviews in chapters, one from [[Pete Townshend]], about [[The Who]], and another from [[Mick Jagger]]. They were easily found in a teeny little library a 5 minute walk from my house, so I'd assume you might find them anyway. However, being an "article rescue" type, the [[Rory Gallagher]] article is really important to me now. I'm in the States now, and nobody here seems to know who he even was, although his dinky little page continues to get more hits than many other favourites of mine! If you have any guitar articles, or find any good sources about him other than those I put on his talk page, or the books written by him by his bassist, [[Gerry McAvoy]], or brother, Donal Gallagher, it would really help. I mentioned the Dirty Mac in particular b/c I recall Richards playing bass, and his personal article has a section about him playing bass, and I think a lot of these <s>fans</s> editors ;) would see that, first on [[You Tube]] and go putting it in places where it ''really'' doesn't belong!
:
I knew the [[Cat Stevens]] article wasn't up to GA specs some time ago, sorry for asking- I just dread returning back to cover his youth! I wasn't around then! Ah well. Thanks! --[[User:Leahtwosaints|Leahtwosaints]] ([[User talk:Leahtwosaints|talk]]) 11:01, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

== In the studio ==

Sssoul, Are you familiar with the (online) radio programme called [[In the Studio (radio show)|In the Studio with Redbeard]]? One day I simply bumped into it as a source, and it is interesting listening, and I wrote him from the website to ask if the interviews (that week, it was a [[Pete Townshend]] interview) would remain on the website for a while or be removed. Since I hadn't seen anything about [[Mick Taylor]] or some others, I wrote him to ask about it, and here is his response:
:
::Ah, Leah --Season's greetings , sainted one ! You're timing on ex-[[Rolling Stones]] [[guitar]]ist [[Mick Taylor]] is uncanny . He was featured in last week's In The Studio #1120 ''[[Let It Bleed]]'' 40th anniversary radio show , so that's it at the very top of the media player on the home page . Knock yourself out ... but please link us with any quotes , credits,etc.
::I have a good amount of material from the late Who bass player [[John Entwistle]] , but I just realized that none of it is on the website . Coincidentally I have had a request by music author [[Richie Unterberger]] to provide the same material for his upcoming book on [[The Who]] , so I'll see about working out something for everybody after the holidays ..
::I'm a huge [[Rory Gallagher]] fan, even hung with him backstage in Memphis one night , but he was reluctant to be formally interviewed .. The real bluesmen were/are pretty much a hard-scrabble bunch , fairly suspicious of being manipulated & ripped off , & for good reason .. Rory always was much more popular in Europe than the States , so check your sources there .
::And all I have on Cat Stevens is some interesting anecdotal stories about him from [[Al Stewart]] . They came up together in the same London coffee-house music scene & were rivals for the limelight... & the Cat won .
::Redbeard
::http://www.inthestudio.net
:
If you go online, Sssoul, you will find some interviews which are impeccable with at least the artists I listened to some time ago (maybe 6 months). It really is worth checking out. --[[User:Leahtwosaints|Leahtwosaints]] ([[User talk:Leahtwosaints|talk]]) 14:16, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Sssoul, this clip showed up on [[You Tube]] but has some good information. Perhaps by contacting the poster, the source can be found and used in at least one [[Rolling Stones]] article. At the least, please check it out, it's quite informative!: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGwvnRm50mg "Keith Richards talks about the Blues"] great commentary from [[Bill Wyman]] and [[Keith Richards]]. I love the comment about how [[Willie Dixon]]'s "[[Little Red Rooster]]" was perhaps the only time a [[blues]] song made it to #1 on the chart. Mentions of [[John Lee Hooker]], and more.
Also, the [[DJ]], "Redbeard"'s global radio interview show (which is also online) [[In the Studio (radio show)|In the Studio]] just interviewed [[Mick Taylor]] and Wyman, regarding the anniversary of ''[[Let It Bleed]]''. Just go to the link at the bottom of that page, and look it up! (He's also asked me to help clean up his article as he intended to do it himself, which is kind of iffy, so I'll have to ask an Admin about that.. but he knows the rules.. and is good at what he does, even if it's sort of "old school" [[Casey Kasem]] sort of approach to his interviews.--[[User:Leahtwosaints|Leahtwosaints]] ([[User talk:Leahtwosaints|talk]]) 17:03, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

== Mick Taylor and doing album pages ==

Sssoul, in the discography for [[Mick Taylor]], there is a "album" listed, called ''[[let's get Stoned]]''. The fact that the page is so often [[vandal]]ized, led me to wonder if this listed album in the discography - doesn't begin with a captiol letter in the title, which I never heard of, is legitimate. Do you know?
<br />
Also, can you help find me two or three people good with discographies. I know how to add good information, and cover sleeves to [[vinyl album]] and [[Gramophone record|7"]] [[Single (music)|45rpm singles]]. I'm having the hardest time. I want to start album and song pages for musicians who have missing album info, including specifically:
# [[B.B. King]]'s ''London Sessions'' including lots of notable other musicians including:
# [[Rory Gallagher]], a huge [[blues]] & [[blues rock]] performer, esp. with BB King, all his live albums and ''Live at Montreaux'', involving a bunch of other very impostant performers
# [[Cat Stevens]], his early songs and albums -Tvoz and I worked hard for it's [[GA]]-Ranking, which was just lost.
# [[Charlie Watts]]' solo efforts..
I just want to know, in cases that go back to say, 1980, where to find ratings, and more? '''I just need someone to teach me just showing how to create one album page,''' even just to Start-level, and the resulting red marks from discographies all over the place would be losing numerous led marks, as so many other musicians have collaborated on the albums I'd like to tackle! '''Please, help me find a couple "teachers" so I might continue to improve some of these''' artists' articles!--[[User:Leahtwosaints|Leahtwosaints]] ([[User talk:Leahtwosaints|talk]]) 00:31, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
:Leahtwosaints, i reckon you need to ask someone who works on discographies - i don't. maybe [[User:Discographer]] will be able to help, or will know someone who can? (i don't know him/her myself - s/he just asked me a discography-related question once.) [[User:Sssoul|Sssoul]] ([[User talk:Sssoul#top|talk]]) 07:58, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Apologies that this is taking me so long, but I am very busy in real life and have managed to get invovled in an editing dispute at [[Gothic (term)]] which is absorbing my time. I hope to grab some focused time at the weekend.--'''<span style="font-family:Black Chancery;text:grey 0.3em 0.3em 0.1em;">[[User:Sabrebd|<span style="color:blue;">SabreBD</span>]] ([[User talk:Sabrebd|talk</span>]]) 16:02, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

== Can you help with this? ==

Ssoul- the listing of the [[Rolling Stones]] single, "[[Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?]]" - the B-side of the song is "[[Who's Driving Your Plane?]]"-- but no song page has been made for it yet. I had a (rare) image of the [[B-side|B-side single]] and sleeve and uploaded it, since foolishly, I planned to figure out how to attach the B-side song cover to the bottom side of the infobox of "Have You Seen Your Mother...", (something common on the other song pages, but which I've never tried before) I uploaded it here: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Whos_Driving_Your_Plane.jpg] I keep hoping someone will ''teach'' me to do a decent new song (or new album) page.. but as you can see a bot just gave me a few days to use the uploaded "fair use" single cover, and I accidentally sliced my fingers on my right hand, got '''stiches''' -and have a splint on my right [[index finger]], typing is near impossible now, added to my ignorance of song pages. I don't know who else might help with this. I don't know editors here, so since this image is hard to come by, would you please help adding it to "[[Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?]]", or else begin a song page for "[[Who's Driving Your Plane?]]"? It's taking me forever now just to type this!

Additionally, if you (or anyone you can find) would just teach me, there is so much I could contribute by means of starting some album pages and song articles. Same goes for discographies. I'm just taught '''once''' to properly go about a [[discography]]-- (I am especially anxious about [[Rory Gallagher]]- the discography portion is a mess- a separate discography page was created for his solo albums released while he was alive, but some of the albums never had article pages created, including -[[Posthumous work|posthumous complations]] and '''significantly''', a lot of collaborations with artists including [[Muddy Waters]], [[Jack Bruce]], and others, whose own discographies would likewise benefit if I knew where to look to create album articles-- [[Mick Taylor]], [[Bill Wyman]], and [[Charlie Watts]] all could likewise benefit. If I could just learn the places to find sources -names of songs with credits and time length, personnel.. I could at least get stubs begun. Please think about that, aside from getting photos, and wikignome things I ''do'' actually edit a few musicians' articles, ([[Derek Trucks]], [[Cat Stevens]], etc.) and am especially anxious about [[Rory Gallagher]].

Last, I uploaded a lot of photos to [[Wikimedia Commons]] a couple of days ago, including some early [[Rolling Stones]] pics-- my username is the same there as it is here and I now keep a list of over 375 uploaded photos under a tiny gallery of a few favorites on my [[Wikipedia]] userpage in case you want to look for any photos there- over 375 pics. [[Mick Jagger]]'s article has so little text, a couple are on the 1972 tour article, one each: [[Mick Taylor]], [[Ron Wood]], and another on [[Jagger/Richards]] (as the two are sharing a microphone and it's such a great shot). There's one last exceptional photo of Taylor and Richards from an entire soundboard photo but would prefer if you [[email]] me.. it's outstanding, but I think you should take a look at it before I even consider trying to upload it under "fair use", since it's not your typical find. Would you do that? My email is active. I'll have a look to try to figure out how to add a second image to that song I first mentioned above, but all this typing has been tough! --[[User:Leahtwosaints|Leahtwosaints]] ([[User talk:Leahtwosaints|talk]]) 20:46, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

: WHOOPS! Sorry about asking twice about discographies, I didn't get an answer on '''My''' talk page so didn' see your reply till now... BUT, it would really help if someone can assist in showing me how to create an album page properly. ''The more pressing problem of using that image of the record sleeve I just uploaded needing placement however, still stands!''--[[User:Leahtwosaints|Leahtwosaints]] ([[User talk:Leahtwosaints|talk]]) 20:55, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
