I always get a very god feelingwhen I see you editing The Byrds. Thanks. Okay. I am doing a radio show that is a "simulated" acid trip, using the Moody Blues In Search of the Lost Chord as a starting point and sticking other songs in between each of their cuts. Several songs between each cut. Can you offer a better song or two from the Byrds (or anywhere else) than 5D? Just wondering. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 03:29, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
Gene ClarkHello, I have an interest in knowledge in music and use Wiki musician bios. I looked up Gene Clark and saw that most of his bio had been removed. I joined Wikipedia and began to prepare new content and citations, but before I figured out how to add them the old Gene Clark biography was replaced. It appears that you are working on it and doing a great job. I saw the note that it needed citations and I believe that I can help. I have a lot of information on Gene Clark (and other Byrds related members and the bands they were in) but I don't want to start adding my citations if you are in the process of doing so. Do you mind if I start? This will be my first Wiki contribution, and I am using Wiki Referencing for Beginners, so I will probably start with the easy citations from biographies first, then tackle more complex ones. Thanks!Mudpuppie (talk) 22:46, 3 August 2013 (UTC) Mudpuppie (talk) 23:56, 3 August 2013 (UTC) Kohoutek1138, Thank you for you very helpful advice. Adding citations is a good way for me to begin contributing to Wiki. I added some citations last night and will add more tonight. I am using books at the moment because I am on vacation and only have biographies with me. I do have two file drawers of other source material at home. I will also review online sources and when I return I will revise my citations by replacing some with other reliable sources. I simply felt a need to add citations before someone deletes the entry again! I know that you wrote the articles from your own source materials, so I am sure that you may also want to change some of my citations. One Question: None of Gene Clark's albums with the New Christy Minstrels or Byrds are included in his discography. I know that Wiki users often check entries to find out which albums former group members participated on, and I noticed that there is no consistency with how Wiki handles this matter. For example, the discographies of Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke include the group albums they participated, while those of Gene and Roger do not. I think it is more helpful when they are listed but I am unsure of Wiki policy. I think listed them for Gene Clark would be helpful to clear confusion about his participation on recordings with these groups and I am willing to add them. I have reliable material supporting Gene's participation on two NCM albums(Land of the Giants and Today)and the hit singles "Today" and "Saturday Night". There is dispute over whether he sang on the Christmas album that he graces the cover of, so I would not include it. I believe there is reason to list Gene's Byrds albums because biographical articles often erroneously state that he participated on only the first two albums, ignoring his contribution to Fifth Dimension, including being the primary composer of "Eight Miles High". I noticed that the entry for Dillard & Clark is a stub, so I will add it to my "To Do" list. I would also like to write brief entries for Gene Clark's later collaborators, Carla Olson and her former group, the Textones, as they released albums that were highly regarded by critics and sold well.Mudpuppie (talk) 21:55, 4 August 2013 (UTC) RhymneyYou deleted a piece of copy concerning the above - you point is taken -but wouldn't it have been better (and in the spirit of Wikipedia) to have request a citation concerning the facts?

(But I went straight to the info box: Who the heck's Jim McGuinn? Roger's brother?) And how do you account for the info box referring to "Jim McGuinn" in the photo of the Byrds, taken when he was already going by "Roger," but "Roger McGuinn" under "past members." Looks confusing enough to me to warrant clarification. From his debut with the Byrds (when I was 10 years old--I witnessed their first network TV appearance), McGuinn has always been known as "Roger" to fans, band mates, collaborators, the media and his record labels (and of course friends he would make after becoming "Roger"). I'm certainly not going to engage in an editing war, but my suggestion would be to use "Roger McGuinn (formerly known as Jim McGuin)" in the intro, which I would argue is more accurate than "a.k.a.," but refer to him simply as "McGuin" (w/o link) thereafter, as is the custom in Wikipedia as it is just about everywhere. (If maintaining "a.k.a.," you may want add a Wiktionary link for readers not entirely fluent in English and its many abbreviations. The periods, btw, are extraneous.) Oh, and change "Jim" to Roger" under the Bryds photo in the info box; consistency is very important. Cheers !!, Rico

Songs in Five and Original ResearchHi Kahoutek: we have a disagreement about what classifies as "original research" (re: "Grim Reaper of Love" page). For me, the fact that a song (e.g., "Take 5") can be described as being in 5 is a perceptual, musical fact, not research. It is like saying that the "White House" is white; I don't think that needs a reference. You apparently disagree, so we'll have to work it out (I'm relatively new to Wikipedia, so I'll have to learn the arbitration rules, but I feel pretty strongly about this.). Finney1234 (talk) 20:01, 2 May 2015 (UTC) A further analogy: in the Wikipedia writeup for Casablanca (film), the plot is summarized without providing any references (presumably, the writer watched the film and described what he saw). Is that "original research" that needs to be flagged? (BTW, I realize that there is a real issue here, and I was probably too quick in simply reversing your change rather than raising the issues with you first). Finney1234 (talk) 20:35, 2 May 2015 (UTC) Hi Kahoutek: thanks for your polite and well stated response on my talk page. Perhaps we could keep everything on your page so there's a record of the give and take? I have a few issues, which I will raise separately over the next day or two. The issue here isn't just this minor "Grim Reaper of Love" article, but you're clearly a significant contributor to Wikipedia, who has a very strong bias towards a particularly detailed type of attribution which is not necessarily common or standard for Wikipedia. I'd like to hope there's a reasonable middle ground for music articles (I can see there's a slippery slope, and I don't want to see Wikipedia articles lose their verifiability either). As far as giving references for the dates for songs such as the Beatles "Within You Without You", my reading of the Wikipedia "No Original Research section" is that that actually isn't necessary. "The prohibition against OR means that all material added to articles must be attributable to a reliable published source, even if not actually attributed.[1] The verifiability policy says that an inline citation to a reliable source must be provided for all quotations, and for anything challenged or likely to be challenged". In this case, the dates probably did come from Wikipedia, but I have no reason to believe they're inaccurate, and the other articles do provide those sources. Adding references every 3 words for non-challenged facts seems to sacrifice readability for the sake of providing a non-required reference. Comments? Also, why did you not remove my statement that this was "raga rock"? That was completely a personal interpretation, sans reference. The fact that I went from the referenced fact (from the reasonably HQ CD liner notes) that the song used an electric sitar to calling it "raga rock" seems like original research. What makes this acceptable? Also: lets say that all the songs have been given dates, and we're both happy with the attributions for those dates. Would you object to saying "A preceded B and C", since it's obvious from the dates, or would you insist that still requires a reference? The bigger issue is whether saying a song is in a 5/8 rhythm is a "fact" (the NOR article states that "Paris is in France" does not require a reference) or "Original Research", which I will take up later (I need to look at the "Burden of Proof" article first). Thanks Finney1234 (talk) 16:40, 12 May 2015 (UTC) Clarence White's sonThe Byrds artist Clarence White also had a son named Brad LeBlanc. He is a full brother to Michelle.

I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject). If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.

There's also good collections of Disc, Let It Rock which ran between 1973 and 1975, about half the issues of 1970s magazine ZigZag, and a lot of other publications like Gramophone, Radio Times, foreign publications like Dischi e Musici and more, plus shelves of chart books and other music books. Uncut is available online for 1997 to 2000, and I know they have most issues of The Face and Kerrang! in there as well, although I haven't checked them out yet. In another room they have most of the UK newspapers on microfilm, so you can check music reviews from The Times, Daily Telegraph, The Guardian and The Independent as well, right back to the 60s and 70s. You need a library card for the Reading Rooms, but it's easy to get - I think you just need to go with proof of name and address (passport and a recent utility bill will do), fill in the form and take your picture, and they issue it within half an hour and you're good to go. I don't live in the UK any more so I only get to the Library when I'm visiting, unfortunately. But I wouldn't have been able to go this last year anyway...

June 2021From your user page it looks like you have an interest in music articles and I thought to ask if you might have some time to do a GA review at this time. The article for the group BTS was nominated by me a week ago though there is very little activity on the Music nominations during the summer. The article is currently getting about 35,000 page count per day. Could you consider this GAN nomination?

The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add Re: My Byrds editThanks for the comment you left on my Byrds edit. The reason I made it was because this paragraph calls this one lineup one specific "version" of The Byrds, but later calls all the different lineups with Clarence White one specific "incarnation" of the Byrds, and I felt there was a slight inconsistency there.

WarningYou seem inclined to keep including versions of Ballad of an Easy Rider that fail wp:songcover aginsst wikipedia policy. Please don't. 203.13.3.89 (talk) 23:06, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
First, the reason that I came to this file is because it is one of the most used non-free files on the project. That usually highlights highly problematic usages of non-free media on the project, such as is the case here. While WP:NFC#UUI applies to images, it has generally held to apply to all media file types. I.e., an audio file doesn't get a free ride from the exclusions simply because the means by which it is conveying information is audio rather than visual. #6 from UUI clearly notes that such a file should not be used elsewhere when it has an article dedicated to it, but rather a link provided to the dedicated article. Mr. Tambourine Man is clearly dedicated to the song which File:Byrds Mr Tambourine Man.ogg depicts. Folk rock already links to Mr. Tambourine Man, so the criteria of #6 to link to the article dedicated to the file is well met. The problem is the file is on the article, where #6 clearly says it shouldn't be. I grant that the song was pivotal to the underpinnings of folk rock, but it isn't necessary to the article to have the file in it when there is a dedicated article to it. The file needs to be removed from Mr. Tambourine Man. If you disagree with this, I recommend you take the issue up at WT:NFC, or I can do it for you if you like. --Hammersoft (talk) 12:29, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
Replaceable non-free use File:Incense and Peppermints single.jpgThanks for uploading File:Incense and Peppermints single.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject). If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I was wondering if the second version of "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue", recorded by the Byrds in August 1965, ever made it out on a bootleg. You seem like the person to ask. I read on your GA of the song's article that the recording made it on an acetate disc and was played by a jockey on KRLA, the sort of situation which seems conducive to a bootleg appearing. I see you cite Johnny Rogan – I unfortunately do not have access to his books – and I was surprised to see Christopher Hjort does not even mention the recording session in his day-by-day book.

It'd be great if you nominated it at GAN; and there's currently (this month only) a 'Backlog Drive' on so there's even a good chance it'll be reviewed quickly. If you're too busy to do it on your own, I can lend a hand if you like. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:02, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
