Tone of article

Hi there, I have created sections for this article and also italicized text as per wiki policy. In reading this article, I feel that it reads too much like shameless self promotion for the artist. I also feel that the tone needs to be wikified, as much of the language employed in the article is conversational rather than academic. The article is also rather long and can probably be edited.

Improving this article

I couldn't agree more with the above comment. It appears that much of the article has been taken from a Facebook page. I have begun the process of trying to help the article by adding reliable sources and moving the tone toward a NPOV. The subject is certainly worthy of a decent article. -Eagledj (talk) 15:12, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why was the Facebook link placed, https://www.facebook.com/pg/gordonkennedynashville/about/, at the top of the article? How do you know that the content came from the Facebook page and that the subject didn't copy it there? Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:30, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Point well taken. I'm not sure of the origin, but at any rate, the article is currently a mess— I will be throwing out the copyvio and rewriting it. Best-Eagledj (talk) 17:06, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Again, causality. I've seen more than one musician us thw wikipedia article in other locations. They may come in and modify it slightly. SOme use RSes, while others don't. This article has been relatively stable since it was created in 2006. The only issue is why the subject didn't attribute Wikipedia, rather than the other way around.

Thanks for your work on the article though. It's looking a lot better. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:11, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Walter, You have been a great help with the article— it is not yet where I want it to be. I welcome your suggestions and notes. Best regards, -Eagledj (talk) 01:25, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
