The first three links are broken, in one way or another. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 15:40, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

What to do about the promotion of the Decca label?
This article promotes the Decca label in multiple places, with the egregious phrase "exclusive Decca artist" appearing three times. My attempt to trim just a little of this has been reverted twice. What is going on? --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 02:59, 12 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Also, how is he even an "exclusive Decca artist" (sound the trumpets!!) when the article also mentions his recordings for CBS Masterworks, EMI, and Teldec? --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 03:16, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I have removed what I consider excess and unuseful-to-the-reader mentions of Decca here. By no means have I excised all mention of Decca. If reverted, please explain. Thanks. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 03:34, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Dear First of all, please remove the advert tag at the top of the article. This has nothing to do with promotion, and even it was, the remaining 99.5% of the article is definitely not promotional. Lupu has remained an exclusive Decca artist, despite publicly declaring he won’t record any further. This has not a thing to do with promotion. Many musicians are exclusive Decca artists. Also, there are exceptions to exclusivity, notably including collaborating with other artist on their label. All of Lupu’s recordings for non-Decca labels are all Chamber music.

 * ALso, you’ve just excised all mentions of Decca exclusivity now, so what is the advert tag still there for? This is a carefully reviewed GA. Zingarese talk  ·  contribs  03:42, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I removed the tag; it is totally misplaced. That tag is for articles that are “advertisements masquerading as articles” and require an abundance of cleanup to describe its subject from NPOV. Advert inline is the appropriate tag in this case, for the tiny bits of text you feel is PROMO in tone. What is the reason to tag the entire article??? In any case.. I can’t see how this is PROMO at all. I respect your viewpoint, but I am really having trouble understanding it. Radu Lupu is an exclusive Decca artist. It means he has an exclusive recording contract with the label. That is as objectively written as it gets. I’m happy to discuss further. Zingarese talk  ·  contribs  04:08, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Zingarese, I thought we'd come to a compromise--you returned some of the (to my mind) excessive mentions of Decca, but not the egregious "exclusive Decca artist" promotion, so I withdrew. Now you come out of nowhere after two months to add back in. I suggest that we return to thecompromise. Please raise an item at RfC if you still have a problem, but if you do, I will also request further removal of Decca advertising here. Thanks. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 04:17, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

fixed misattribution error but only in part
When I fixed the erroneous NYT attribution to John Rockwell (it was really Allen Hughes) I failed to do the footnote correction ... so if someone could attend to that it would be much appreciated. tiavm !

(It arose from a misreading of the confusing layout of the Times archive in text form.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidrmoran (talk • contribs) 20:42, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
