Aloha from Hawaii Via Satellite[edit]

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Aloha from Hawaii Via Satellite has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

There are several sentences that need clarification; I was uncertain of their meaning.

In the Rehearsal and concert section this sentence appears. He threw the cape into the first rows and then gave the audience the Shaka sign and received a golden crown from fans as he walked away.[47] What is a "golden crown"?

In the Reception section these sentences appear: Contrary to Parker's claim the concert would be presented with a delay of days or weeks to the 21 European countries where it was finally seen, countries that were a part of the Warsaw Treaty Organization were excluded.[7] The figures for total viewers proposed by Presley's manager were questioned,[8] as critics pointed that the sum of the total population of all the countries targeted by the broadcast was roughly 1.3 billion.[9] I'm assuming the 21 countries does not include Warsaw pact countries. If so it sounds like Parker originally thought they were included in which case this sentence needs clarification. The Warsaw pact country numbers need to be added to 21. The sentence with viewership numbers lacks the number of viewers Parker estimated so does not make sense as it stands.

The LA Times review sentence says ...while calling his antiques "an amusing parody" of his early career. Do they mean his performance of his older songs were a parody of what they were when he originally sang them?

Best of luck with the GAN.
Regards,

Twofingered Typist (talk) 16:57, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sammi Brie
@Twofingered Typist: First of, thanks for copy-editing the article. Your work is much appreciated.
Now for the clarifications:
  • Rehearsal and concert He was given by the fans a golden crown as he finished the concert, probably it was plastic or whatever. (as reflected on this news piece. I would add the newspaper in a citation. Because it's mentioned in the same breath as a hand signal it mislead me into thinking this was some new one I'd never heard of.
  • Reception: Let's break that down. It was supposed to be seen in 21 European countries. None of those countries were a part of the Warsaw treaty. About the viewership numbers, that refers to the live broadcast. Parker claimed during the press conference that it was supposed to be seen by 1.5 billion people. The Honolulu Star-Bulletin reflected the same numbers on their piece. But the books by Jerry Hopkins, Gaar Gillian and Matthias Haeussler make the case for Parker's nature to exaggerate numbers, and pointed to the fact that the sum of the population of the countries the concert was beamed at the time did not reach that number. Furthermore, Haeussler explains that the networks of Central Europe that received the footage aired it whenever they chose to. see below
  • LA Times review: that was also my reading, that the reviewer considered his performance a parody of Presley's former self. I'd use "performsance" rather than "antiques" then.
Hope that helps.--GDuwenHoller! 19:24, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

GDuwen I would rephrase this paragraph then:

Suggest something like:Parker said the concert would be shown in 21 European countries but none that were part of the Warsaw Pact.[7] He estimated the viewership at 1.5 billion a number reflected by the Honolulu Star-Bulletine (add newspaper citation here). The figures for total viewers proposed by Presley's manager were questioned,[8] as critics pointed that the sum of the total population of all the countries targeted by the broadcast was roughly 1.3 billion.[9]

@Twofingered Typist: Well, the mention of the Warsaw Pact was not made by Parker himself, it was made by writer Matthias Haeussler, who clarified on his book Inventing Elvis: An American Icon in a Cold War World that the special was neither aired on the Eastern Bloc, nor on the Soviet Union. Parker made the mention of 21 countries. I'm positive the Star-Bulletin merely mirrored what Parker said during the press conference.--GDuwenHoller! 20:20, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
GDuwen I'd leave it at Parker said the concert would be shown in 21 European countries. None that were part of the Warsaw Pact.[7] He estimated the viewership at 1.5 billion. The figures for total viewers proposed by Presley's manager were questioned,[8] as critics pointed that the sum of the total population of all the countries targeted by the broadcast was roughly 1.3 billion.[9]

Stardust (1927 song)[edit]

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Stardust (1927 song) has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

One thing the article does not make crystal clear is that Carmichael was paid a salary to compose songs for Mills. I assume because of this he never received any kind of royalty payment for "Stardust". The article mentions it brought in $50,000 per year over a brief period. Do any of the sources mention how much the song has earned in total over the years? You might want to consider adding this in the Legacy section. Just a thought. Best of luck with the GAN when you get to it.

Regards,

Twofingered Typist (talk) 14:39, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Twofingered Typist: First, I want to thank you for your work copyediting. Now, about those royalties: According to this source, this other from TIME magazine or Carmichael's New York Times obituary he was receiving payments for the songs. I assumed that Mills music was keeping all of the earnings since he was one of their songwriters, but it seems that he at least got something. It apparently also produced one million dollars for Parish during his lifetime according to this source. I don't know if I'll be able to find the total earnings of the song, but I'll make sure to work this information into the article.--GDuwenHoller! 18:56, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Elvis on Tour[edit]

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Elvis on Tour has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I did add as "Clarification Needed" tag to the end of the first paragraph of the Domestic critical reception. I'm assuming the Rolling Stone review dismissed the documentary as just another Elvis movie, but the text doesn't say that. As it stands, the meaning isn't clear.

Best of luck with the GAN when you get to it.

Regards,

@Twofingered Typist: Thanks for your work once again. I don't know if you remember the information contained in all of the articles that you work on through the GOCE, but I can bet that there are few people around Wikipedia who learn about such a plethora of subjects. Other than that, I tried to clarify the Rolling Stone review. The writer meant that it was the first "real" Presley movie dismissing the content of all the others. IMO he does have some good movies, but around eighty percent are cheesy, lack of story or script, the lowest of the low budget (which like 90% of went to pay Elvis) or some downright cringe. You can understand why he wanted so bad out of that contract.--GDuwenHoller! 20:18, 5 July 2021

@GDuwen: You're welcome. You're right, I get to read some fascinating stuff. Col. Parker certainly didn't make out too badly from the 90% Elvis' got for his work! Twofingered Typist (talk) 21:00, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

The file File:Good Hearted Woman by Waylon Jennings - 1972.ogg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Sample used as part of infobox of Good Hearted Woman (song). Insufficiently supported by critical commentary. May fail WP:NFCC#8. Even trimming out twelve seconds to comply with (limitations of) MOS:SAMPLE still wouldn't absolve issues with #8 criterion.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
