I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Michael Blake (musician). Thanks! Robert McClenon (talk) 20:08, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mistephake (talk) 00:00, 9 August 2020 (UTC) I have reenforced the artistic notability of my intro paragraph. The writer clearly states he gave the album his best of the year and even includes his quote form the review. 'downbeat' doesn't have all of their content archived so unfortunately i cant use their site as a cite.I'm new to writing wikipedia articles but i have tried to complete the by supporting all my merits with the appropriate refs.[reply]

Erik Deutsch moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Erik Deutsch, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Victor Schmidt (talk) 15:39, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mistephake (talk) 20:12, 15 September 2020 (UTC) helpme I've created a new draft but unlike my previous draft this one doesn't have a template at the top of the article: Draft article not currently submitted for review. I'm not sure what im doing wrong. i started the page form the wrong source but then i fixed that. I thought i did?![reply]

Mistephake (talk) 15:35, 16 September 2020 (UTC) I do not have a "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. (talk)the other article i created started with a disclaimer and i was able to use a previous page template for musicians. this time it just opened a blank Draft page. How do i submit when im ready?[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Chris Bergson (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 Chris Bergson (Musician), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.

German to English Wikipedia

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I have a friend who has an article in german on german wikipedia. He is american and wants the article to appear on the english website. Do i create the article in english and add a template? or do i add a template to the german article translating to english? The german article is decent but it needs a lot of work. i don't speak german. Mistephake (talk) 17:35, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is no particular magic. If you can read German well enough to evaluate the article as "decent but needs a lot of work", you can create a draft on English Wikipedia based on it. It's not always best to directly translate. Another approach is to use the sources used in the German Wikipedia article and summarize in your own words what they have to say about your musician friend. Finding some more references would also be a good idea.

You will want to disclose your connection with your subject on your user page. Just a simple statement is fine, you do not need to use any particular template.

On the talk page of the draft, you would use the {{translated page}} template to indicate that you are working from the de-wiki original.

Ultimately, you'll need to consider whether you have enough good references to establish notability for your subject according to the criteria that apply to musician - WP:NMUSIC. When you think it's ready, you can then submit the draft. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:29, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

thank you! So it is ok for this musician to have both a german article and an english article? Mistephake (talk) 18:35, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The different language Wikipediae (do you think that's the right plural?) are independent projects run each by their own community. There are a great many subjects that have articles in many different languages. The decision to include the article on your musician friend here will be based on him meeting the notability criteria; this decision is not affected by there already being an article in German Wikipedia. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:02, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Erik Deutsch (January 16)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Sulfurboy was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The subject has worked with some notable artists, but notability is not inherited. I do not see how this subject passes the standard of WP:SINGER or WP:GNG. Page creator, if resubmitted, please comment as to which prongs of WP:SINGER this subject meets.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Erik Deutsch and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Erik Deutsch, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Mistephake! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk.

Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick (Talk) 20:43, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I will remove the violation source. but the rest of the page was just updated material the subject had asked me to add. All of it was well within wiki's requirements. I don't understand why all of the revisions were deleted? Mistephake (talk) 21:29, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you look through the edit history you will see most of the information i added detailed his last foe years of activity and small changes to his discography etc. I don't actually see what was in violation of copyright? all the cites were legit and the information was completely true. But there must be something I missed! Mistephake (talk) 21:43, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Chad Taylor (drummer) (October 10)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by TipsyElephant were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The current sources do not demonstrate that Chad Taylor meets the requirements of WP:N or the subject specific notability requirements of WP:BIO or WP:NMUSIC. Please read WP:REFBOMB and WP:TRIVIAL as most of the twenty-four sources barely mention Chad Taylor and tend to be more focused on bands that he has played in. Reading WP:INHERIT might be worth while as well because Chad Taylor does not inherit his notability from other people he has played music with or even the bands he has been in. WP:INTERVIEW is also relevant because two or three of your sources would be considered primary or at the very least not independent because they are interviews with Chad himself or with band members. It also seems that the allaboutjazz.com sources are not WP:RELIABLE because it appears that just about anyone can make an account and write reviews on the website. I think your best source right now is the Chicago Reader article, and if you're able to find a couple more sources like it the page could be published to mainspace.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Christopher Hoffman (musician) (August 24)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by TipsyElephant were:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I think that the All About Jazz, WBGO, and this New York Times article are probably enough to demonstrate WP:N. However, it appears that half the sources being cited do not even mention Hoffman and clearly do not verify claims about Hoffman. Also, there are still unsourced claims about Hoffman (i.e. the first two sentences/paragraphs of the career section). There are also arbitrary lists of things that may or may not be associated with Hoffman (i.e. "Hoffman has performed with Yoko Ono, Bleachers, Marianne Faithfull, Iron & Wine, Ryan Adams, Lee Konitz and Marc Ribot.") that is clearly WP:PUFFERY and WP:OVERLINKING. Please pare-down the page by removing unnecessary sources and prose, and see if you can find a couple more sources like the one's I've mentioned above (preferably with a couple hundred words specifically discussing Hoffman rather than something he is associated with).

Christopher Hoffman (musician) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Christopher Hoffman (musician), is not suitable as written to remain published. There are clear indications there is a WP:UPE or WP:COI conflict. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, and have addressed the UPE/COI issue, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. As per WP policy, please do not move into mainspace yourself. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:21, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reviewing the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ava_Della_Pietra

I will add her top 50 radio plays on Hot AC. This should support the notability requirements.

Question re. Chad Taylor (drummer) page

Hi. I noticed some duplication in the Chad Taylor page, and am not sure how to correct it.

In the "career" section, the first paragraph contains this:

In 2001 Taylor moved back to New York where bassist Tom Abbs introduced him to Cooper-Moore. The core ensemble consisted of Jemeel Moondoc, Tom Abbs and Steve Swell. The same year Taylor started working with Jeff Parker's Trio with Chris Lopes on bass, releasing Like-Coping in 2003.

The second paragraph contains this:

In 2002, Taylor recorded Titration, his debut as a leader for Delmark Records. The core ensemble consisted of Jemeel Moondoc, Tom Abbs and Steve Swell. The same year Taylor started working with Jeff Parker's Trio with Chris Lopes on bass, releasing Like-Coping in 2003 and The Relatives in 2005.

Do you happen to know which of the duplicated info is correct (i.e. was it 2001 or 2002)?

Thanks for your time! Regards, Helen Puffer Thwait (talk) 23:11, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He recorded Titration in 2002. Mistephake (talk) 16:38, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but it isn't clear to me whether he started working with Jeff Parker's Trio with Chris Lopes on bass in 2001 or 2002. Both paragraphs state "The same year Taylor started working with..." Maybe I'm missing something.

Again, thank you.

Helen Puffer Thwait (talk) 17:43, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I asked him to clarify this and I didn't get an answer. Sorry Mistephake (talk) 17:51, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I edited that sentence down to avoid confusion. Mistephake (talk) 17:13, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did some edits that help support the article. i removed some inconsequential content that wasn't supported by cites. Mistephake (talk) 17:21, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks great! Thanks for all your work.
