Album cover[edit]

Thanks for using the "Don't Know" tag for your album cover pic upload. I used the "albumcover" tag; see that page for what it looks like.

The Chrono Show[edit]

I have made an edit to The Chrono Show, but please see my comments on the Talk page as well. --Dglynch 16:02, 7 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Thompson[edit]

Hi Bob, I saw your comments about a rewrite on the talk page - you can always draft a subpage either of the article itself such as Richard Thompson/draft, or on your own userpage with User:Bob Dubery/Richard Thompson. Either one is accepted practice, although you may be past that stage in your work on the article, now that it's been a couple of months. -- nae'blis _(talk) 16:13, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work on Hokey Pokey Megamanic 03:28, 18 April 2007 (UTC) Pour Down Like Silver's better. One minor point; can you use references to link some of the more "POV" stuff. A less forgiving editor will slap {{POV}} all over it & then delete it. Keep up the good work! Megamanic 02:33, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you've improved PDLS by adding those references. There's probably some tweaking still to do - I'll take a copy & see what I can do - probably on Monday. I've just tweaked the tracklisting. My copy of PDLS is in a box somewhere but I have MP3s on my iPod so I copied the times & stuff from there. See what you think. BTW, talk page is probably the best way to get me a message - though as I'm watching PDLS we could talk about those specific edits there... Megamanic 06:51, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Query re blocked URL[edit]

Hi! Well, it's a bit more complicated... I did not flag the link as such; I just wanted to make an unrelated, cosmetic edit, and I couldn't, because the anti-spam filter wouldn't let me. (Pretty much the present situation.) It's the way this filter works: once an URL is put on the anti-spam black list, the article that contains this URL is unaffected, but you can't make an edit to such an article unless you delete the link (or comment it out). I've seen it happen before: many perfectly legitimate external pages are (more or less) accidentally "banned" in this manner. So, I suggest that you take the issue either here or here, I believe these kinds of issues are solved routinely... GregorB 15:48, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Richard Thompson 2001.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Richard Thompson 2001.jpg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 07:34, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Album dreamAttic cover.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Album dreamAttic cover.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 08:06, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Debunking in Shoot Out the Lights is WP:NPOV[edit]

It isn't the purpose of an encyclopedia article to debunk anything. That's a violation of WP:NPOV. The timeline you present should be neutral ("just the facts, ma'am") and need not go into detail about the Thompsons' lives. (For example, Nancy Covey does not need to be mentioned nor how Richard met her in this article.) This would result in this being much condensed.

Instead you can cite sources that present the claim or opinion that the album was based on their disintegrating marriage and then cite other sources that debunk that claim based on the facts (namely that many of the songs were written long before) without the necessity of going into so much detail, which is not relevant to the article.

Thanks! And otherwise kudos for your work.

-- J. Wong (talk) 22:15, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your edits. It reads much better and no longer violates WP:NPOV. -- J. Wong (talk) 01:07, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Randolph Presents The Slide Brothers moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Robert Randolph Presents The Slide Brothers, is not suitable 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. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:28, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I had only one reference, which was the liner notes for the CD. I've added that as an explicit reference, and I hope this renders the article satisfactory. Bob Dubery (talk) 11:37, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Robert Randolph Presents The Slide Brothers (August 9)[edit]

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

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.

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.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Robert Randolph Presents The Slide Brothers and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 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.

KylieTastic (talk) 12:24, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Bob Dubery! Having an article draft 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. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! KylieTastic (talk) 12:24, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's not at all clear to me why the article was declined. What particular piece of information needs verification beyond what I've provided - which is the liner notes for the album?
