Cohen

[edit]

@Don Q314: Do you think any change to the draft are needed, per Talk:Musicians_who_oppose_Donald_Trump's_use_of_their_music#Conflicting_reports_on_Leonard_Cohen_cease_and_desist_letter? ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:09, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've been unable to find a reliable source: Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources for the statement: "the publishing company of Cohen's estate issued a cease and desist letter to Trump's campaign." Unless you have a reliable source, I would leave it out. Don Q314 (talk) 23:50, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Don Q314: Would either of these work?
  • adding "reportedly", per The Irish News ("Leonard Cohen’s estate has reportedly issued a cease and desist letter to Donald Trump after he used Rufus Wainwright’s cover of Hallelujah at a rally.")
  • "Cohen's estate asked Sony Music to issue a cease and desist letter to Trump's campaign", per The Guardian ("This article was amended on 6 November 2024 to clarify that the estate of Leonard Cohen asked Sony Music to issue a cease and desist letter to the Trump campaign, rather than the estate itself issuing the letter.")

Hi, I'm a very new editor, so I'm learning as I go. The source for The Guardian's amended story is a post on a Facebook fan page that presents a statement that the person posting says is from Leonard Cohen's estate. That's a bit suspect! I think the only verified thing here is what Wainwright actually posted, so I think it would be fine to say: "Wainwright stated that the publishing company for Cohen's estate has sent the Trump campaign a cease and desist letter." Or just omit the cease and desist claim altogether. As I said, I'm new at this, so go with your own best judgment. Don Q314 (talk) 09:18, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
