A question about copies of an article

[edit]

Why do you have three copies of an article in userspace pages? JBW (talk) 17:19, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

JBW I have removed sandbox/2 and sandbox/3. I can't take a chance someone would decide to delete the sandboxes. I was using sandbox/2 for a backup, and sandbox/3 for publishing in namespace. I used MikeMARS52 as an earlier version to look for things and in the location in the text by using Find (ctrl-F). Please let me know if is it against a rule that i can't use my sandboxes for my method? I would like to continue using more than one sandbox to jump back and forth from an early version to the most current to look for things that have or not changed or i can't find easily.
I have removed all versions except MikeMARS52/sandbox
BUT there is a warning that speedy removable could be imminent. I can't remove it and i really need that tag removed. can you remove it, PLEASE before everything i have done is gone. Thanks if you can help me, if not please tell me how to get that warning tag removed. MikeMARS52 MikeMARS52 (talk) 22:42, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve Joe Frank Chambers

[edit]

Hello, MikeMARS52,

Thank you for creating Joe Frank Chambers.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

The notability of this subject is very thin, and likely that this article should be merged with Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum. We would need more in dept pieces on him in high quality national sources to established him as a notable topic (aside from the Museum). thanks.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Aszx5000}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

I don't want to confuse the current discussion regarding notability. However the family has asked me to change the title to "Joe Chambers". I was mistaken that the title had to be a one-and- only (there is a jazz drummer page named "Joe Chambers").
Can you tell me if renaming now would be an issue with ongoing efforts to address notability, or can i proceed now? Thanks.

No problem with renaming it to something like Joe Chambers (businessman) or other simple one-word explanation of his main role/activity (e.g. per the examples on this list, Joseph Chambers). thanks. Aszx5000 (talk) 12:11, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thanks! can i possible use two words. (musicians' advocate) This is the only accurate description of the most important part of his life; last 25 yr.
[excerpt from the article] "The idea to recognize the contributions of the musicians was first imagined by Chambers as a television show. Around 1998, he began to explore the idea of creating a television special focused on the musicians who were behind hit songs. Chet Atkins and other colleagues said they thought it was a good idea. Joe didn't have the "backing or the knowledge to pull it off." The TV show never happened, but Chambers held onto the idea of honoring musicians."

I think that is too abstract. It should be more akin to the profession that you would list on your tax return (e.g. one of businessman, producer, songwriter etc.). thanks. Aszx5000 (talk) 15:21, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I had that concern also. I had a vision of readers imagining lawyers advocating
Are youtube view-counts considered reliable source? Thanks for your patience. MikeMARS52 MikeMARS52 (talk) 15:57, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account. Certainly we can't accept text previously published on a web site which has a copyright notice saying "all rights reserved", as in the case of material you have posted JBW (talk) 22:57, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
