Minor edits and COI

Hello Nmuster. I appreciate your recent edits of Radha Krsna Temple and Mukunda Goswami, as well as other articles in the recent past. However, I felt concerned that you mark most of your substantial edits as minor. You may want to refer to the Wiki Help page for what constitutes a minor edit as opposed to a major one. Also, since you have indicated your direct involvement in some of the events described in the articles you were editing, you may want to make sure that there is no conflict of interests involved in any of your contributions. Happy editing! Regards, Cinosaur (talk) 01:12, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello Cinosaur, thank you for your message. I will read up on Wikipedia procedures and learn how to do things correctly. I had a feeling that I was venturing into major editing territory, but for some reason I hesitated to mark it as major. Is this how I write back to you at my page?

Thanks for your response, Nmuster. Generally a minor edit is something like fixing a comma or a space, or similarly unquestionable edits, and therefore many editors exclude them from their watchlists. However, yours were stylistic and editorial changes that may be contested by some other editors, and as such, should not be marked as minor, so they are not seen as misleading by the community. As for your writing back, thanks for asking. Since I am watching your talk page – or any pages I edit, for that matter – you may want to respond to my messages here to keep our exchange in one place. But other editors may prefer to be answered at their talk pages. Some editors notify others of their communications preferences at the top of their talk pages, like I do, but others don't, so it's always a good thing to ask. You can learn more on talk pages here. I hope this helps. Cinosaur (talk)

Okay, I see that according the the conflict if interests, I may have made a big mistake editing Mukunda Goswami's page, especially. He was my employer, and probably one of his disciples, or someone like that wrote the article, and may not think my changes are helpful. Maybe we should make the page revert and put the suggested rewrite on the talk page. Should I attempt to do that? Thank you for pointing out my mistakes.

I do not think there has been any mistake on your part, and, judging by the diffs, none of your edits of Mukunda Goswami have bordered on the conflict of interests yet. On the contrary, they were quite constructive, IMHO. But since you've mentioned your direct involvement with the person in question, I just wanted to offer a word of caution. Regards, Cinosaur (talk) 03:01, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

Thank goodness and thank you for making me aware of these issues. I have the greatest respect for Wikipedia. I found this book that may help me get up to speed: "Wikipedia: The Missing Manual," by John Broughton. It looks pretty good. I appreciate your help today.

Happy editing! (On a separate note, you may also want to look up WP:SIGN regarding signing comments on talk pages with ~~~~.) Regards, Cinosaur (talk) 03:27, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

So much to learn, I just read the article you recommended Nmuster (talk) 03:51, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mukunda Goswami, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tom Grant (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Don Hassler

I wrote an article about my late stepfather and it was accepted for publication.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Hassler Then last month "Cindamuse" tagged it as follows:

"This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. (October 2013) The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for music. (October 2013) This article may contain improper references to self-published sources. (October 2013)"

I have made several attempts to find out what I can do about this. Beginning in 2004, I interviewed Don Hassler about his musical career and years as an A&R man and sales manager at Capitol Records in the 1950s, and published the interviews at my website (http://norimuster.com/capitolrecords/). There is nothing I can do about having a close connection with the subject since he was married to my mother for forty-three years. He does meet the notability guidelines for music because he spent seventeen years leading military bands, arranging music, and recording military bands, followed later by a master's degree in musical performance from ASU, and twenty years playing bassoon in the Tempe Symphony Orchestra and Tempe Wind Ensemble, playing saxophone in local jazz bands for thirty years, etc. Also, there is little I can do about having references to his interviews and things he wrote about his career, posted on my website (I could move the material to a different URL, but it would still be the same material). I also include numerous citations from Billboard magazine, especially from the years he worked for Capitol Records.

I need help either shoring up the article or removing it. Also, I wonder why Wikipedia okay'ed the article for publication if it did not meet the guidelines. Any help will be appreciated.

-Nori Nmuster (talk) 16:40, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

These are tags that indicate some issues. Unfortunately, as you have admitted, the first one is unlikely to be removed, as you are closely related to the subject. The second and third ones can be sorted by introducing sources from other sources eg. The New York Times. --Mdann52talk to me! 19:54, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

That is helpful because it will force me to do more research on the history of Capitol Records in the 1950s. Last year, the Capitol Records Executive Vice President of A&R consulted our family to find out more about the history of Nat King Cole. Don Hassler did A&R for members of Nat King Cole's band. Here is my exchange with A.L.: On Aug 2, 2012, at 11:13 AM, A.L. wrote: Nori – Hope you’re well!! I just stumbled on your website – amazing BTW - it looks like you may be able to help me. I started at Capitol in early 2011 and have been doing a deep dive on the label’s history, with a specific lean towards Nat King Cole and Capitol in the 1950’s. I’m working on a number of archival / preservation initiatives over here and would love to make contact. Any chance we could do a call in the next few days? Thinking you can easily answer some questions for me, or point me towards some (living) contacts that probably could. Thanks, A.L. Executive Vice President, A&R Capitol Records 1750 N. Vine St. Hollywood, CA 90028 From: Nori Muster Date: August 2, 2012 1:47:30 PM MST To: A.L. Subject: Re: Hello from the capitol tower Hi A.L., Would be happy to talk. My number is ## and I work out of a home office, so I am usually around. The main living contact I know is my stepdad, Don Hassler. He would probably be happy to speak to you. The main Capitol historian is Mark Heimback-Nielsen. If you don't already know him, I can put you in contact. Nori On Aug 2, 2012, at 3:33 PM, Nori Muster wrote: Hi Dad - This is A.L.

He would like to record it, and he says Capitol has recording equipment there :-) Please email back to A.L. to confirm a time. A.L. email address All for now, Nori I wish there was a way to quote that, but I doubt if A.L. wrote an article based on his interview with Don Hassler. Nmuster (talk) 03:52, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

We don't give approval for publication - what we do is tell you that something isn't suitable if it isn't. There's no approval as such. What Cindy is telling you (and everyone who passes by) that some improvement is needed, in her opinion. Yes, you do have a close connection to the subject. I've not looked at the refs, and haven't got time, but I'm going to ping Cindy at User:Cindamuse to pop in and explain what she thinks are problems, and I have no doubt that she'll try to help you - not because I'm asking her to, but because she's like that. Peridon (talk) 19:58, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for that information. Nmuster (talk) 03:52, 7 November 2013 (UTC) Thank you for your help. But people who know people write Wikipedia entries all the time that do not get tagged. Just because you know someone should not ban you from writing about them. So does the notation for knowing someone only go on if the person is not noteworthy? I believe Don Hassler is noteworthy in the field of music or I would not have written an article about him. He led military bands for seventeen years, including making recordings, arranging music, etc. Doesn't military experience count? And if he is noteworthy, what does it matter if I know him? I can probably find more references to him elsewhere on the Internet. I look forward to hearing Cindy's feedback. Thanks again, Nmuster (talk) 20:40, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

There are over 4,000,000 articles. Some of our patrollers work on new pages, others on edits by new accounts, and others use the random article button. If you haven't tried that, have a go. It's amazing what's in there. A year or so back, one patroller using random found a hoax article that had been there for over six years. Quite harmless, as no-one would have found it otherwise unless they typed in the rather odd title. Peridon (talk) 18:21, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Amazing story, and yeah, four million is a lot of articles! Nmuster (talk) 19:34, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

• Hi Nori! Sorry I wasn't able to respond sooner. (I've been in the hospital this week.) First, I want to say that I'm glad you're here! I think you're doing a great job. The maintenance templates? They are added to articles to place them in a queue, letting other editors know that we may need some help. There are editors that actually participate in the project by maintaining and addressing outstanding issues, which then allow them to remove the templates. I enjoy helping others in this way, generally by looking for sources for articles. (It's kinda like a treasure hunt.) I transferred the COI template on the article page to the discussion page. In all honesty, I recall helping out by copy editing the article following our discussion through OTRS, but will need to review the specific issues flagged to refresh my memory. After I review the article, I'll respond on the article's discussion page. Remember that anytime you have questions following an editor's action on Wikipedia, you can contact them directly by clicking on their username, which is linked on the history page or after their comments on a talk page. For the most part, you'll get a quicker and more detailed response when you go to the source, i.e., the editor who made action, rather than adding a help request template. The help request template adds your request to a queue for all editors community-wide to respond to your questions. While they may be able to provide general support, they won't be able to respond to specific or detailed questions regarding the motivation of an editor's actions. You can also "ping" them to get their attention by formatting their name like this → User:Nmuster ← You just need to use their username, rather than your own. (Go into the editing window to see the formatting.) You can also see how User:Peridon pinged me above, which allowed the system to send me a notification and even an email, since I have enabled it in my user preferences. (Note that when I added Peridon's name here, he will be pinged with a notice that I mentioned him in my comment here.) Hope you are doing well! Cindy(talk) 21:15, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello Cindy - Glad you are feeling better (ug hospitals). I appreciate your letter and will do whatever I need to do to resolve the issues. Thank goodness Peridon pinged you because I went to your talk page and could not see where to write to you. All the talk sections were full and there was no window to add a comment. I guess that I would just click on your talk link and then go to the edit mode and write something at the bottom. As time goes on, I am learning more about Wikipedia, and appreciating it more all the time. Going on treasure hunts, you must learn a lot about the subjects people are posting. It is a treasure trove for people who love history. Anyways, one of the main issues I see in the Don Hassler article is the question of whether he is noteworthy as a musician. If so, then many of those other issues would be settled. I believe he is noteworthy because he had a lifelong music career, including in the military, jazz bands, and symphony orchestras. Plus, because of his background at Capitol Records in the 1950s, and having his interviews published online, he received many, many inquiries from history buffs, archivists, and people at Capitol Records doing research on their own archives. During his years at Capitol Records he did promotion, such as taking Bozo the Clown (and Capitol musicians) to events and radio stations, he did A&R for the members of Stan Kenton's orchestra, and he marketed many of Capitol's labels. In his work with the Hollywood Jaycees, he worked on numerous events with Johnny Grant, the honorary mayor of Hollywood, and he was there for the opening of the Capitol Tower, the beginning of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and many other seminal moments of Hollywood's development as the center of the entertainment world in the 1950s. Don became a celebrity among Capitol Records historians during the last nine years of his life. Anyways, I will do more research to find more references besides to his writings and interviews posted at my site. I also have articles from his files that I could scan and link to.

Bill Muster

The article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Muster was tagged as follows:

Constructs such as ibid., loc. cit. and idem are discouraged by Wikipedia's style guide for footnotes, as they are easily broken. Please improve this article by replacing them with named references (quick guide), or an abbreviated title. (June 2012)

I have replaced the IBID with a direct reference, so if it checks out, please remove the "constructs" warning.

The article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Muster was tagged as an orphan, but now has an internal link from the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Queen article. It is ready to have the orphan tag removed. Thank you.

I have removed the orphan tag and fixed some white spacing errors ^Gavin _Perch talk 06:06, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

My article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Muster was tagged as an orphan. When I read this, I wired up about a dozen links from external sites to Wikipedia, yet it still says it is an orphan. Does it need to have links from within Wikipedia? or do links from external sites count? Bill Muster grew up as an orphan during the Great Depression in a series of orphanages and foster homes. The external links come from billmuster.com, steamboats.com, and other sites.

An orphan page is a page with no internal (Wikipedia) links on it. Once you have sorted it out, contact me on my talk page, and I can remove the tag. Mdann52 (talk) 16:43, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello Nmuster. You can do two things to get your article reviewed. You can add the {{New unreviewed article}} to the top of your article so someone can review your article. You can also go to the Help Desk to get your article reviewed because Requests for feedback is currently inactive. If you any more help, feel free to re-add the {{help me}} template. -- Luke (Talk) 18:01, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
