Talk:Ray Lynch

Copyvio
The text of this page is almost exactly copied from Ray Lynch's commercial site. We need to restart this article -- there is much to be said about him, but not by copying. &mdash;dcclark (talk) 17:03, 29 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Had I looked, I'd have seen the text was added just a few hours before my post. I simply reverted. &mdash;dcclark (talk) 17:08, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Birthplace
Earlier versions state both West Texas and Utah. Which is it? I removed both until someone can verify. I also moved the album artist credits to each album page, and asked that someone provide citations for the claims made. Rizzoj 13:53, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Claims to Billboard awards are not referenced
Per my comments at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:No_Blue_Thing under the section "Neither reference supports the quotes or claims stated in the article", I cannot find any web reference or source other than Ray Lynch's own website for any proof or evidence of receiving Billboard awards. Given the spotty nature of web content for things that happened in 1989, I am in no way asserting that Ray did not win the awards claimed, I just cannot find anything to support the claims. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.100.21.167 (talk) 22:00, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I removed the references immediately. The Ray Lynch article on Wikipedia is a mess, and I'm trying to clean it up. Yoshiman6464 (talk) 02:37, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I added back the information; I found the sources from Billboard magazine that confirm that Lynch did, in fact, win these awards.  Yoshiman6464   ♫🥚 14:45, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

I have found an interview of Ray Lynch on Youtube. I will go through it to see what I could find.

Sources from Google Books
Ray Lynch's music is not popular in the modern age. However, his music sold well in the 1980s and was featured in multiple times in Google Books. Here are the sources that I'll use in the future:

Better ref needed
Given this is a Good Article, needs a better ref than #6, which is an interview posted on the Ray Lynch website. David notMD (talk) 15:42, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
