Up To Snuff the documentary[edit]
 | Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. Please see the reply section shown below for additional information regarding this request. |
I am not a paid, but I do have a real life connection to Mr. Walden, so I won't be editing the article. I'm collecting references for the documentary about his early career. If kept short, the prose about the film might go toward expanding the lead section. ESparky (talk) 19:26, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
- The film has won an overall (feature film) and two categories in the first two months, obviously a notable item for this subject, adding anymore details here would be overkill. ESparky (talk) 13:59, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
In March 2018, Up To Snuff, a film about Walden's career,[1] won the documentary competition in its premier at the Pasadena International Film Festival.[2][3] In April, Up To Snuff won the Feature Film, Audience Choice Award at the Phoenix Film Festival,[4] and an Audience Choice Award (Music) at the Newport Beach Film Festival.[5] The story of Walden's career is told by: Aaron Sorkin, Martin Sheen, Tom Arnold, Timothy Busfield, Fred Savage and Eric Burdon.[6][7]

Reply 22-MAY-2018[edit]
Partially implemented
- The claim regarding the film winning at the Pasadena film festival was included, but the other mentions concern audience awards and were omitted.
- The following were added to the article: BLP sources, IMDb refimprove and List to table maintenance templates. The article contains IMDb references which should be addressed, and other areas which are in need of referencing (to a large degree, the information in the lists). As the information under 'Discography' is a stand alone list not linked, to a large degree, to anything else — the lists ought to be placed in sort-able tables capable of handling reference entries as well as other information about their production.

Professional success[edit]Following his success as a touring and session musician and an Emmy nomination for the "Theme from Thirtysomething",[1] Walden scored numerous television series, including Roseanne, Ellen, My So-Called Life, Felicity, Early Edition, Sports Night, The West Wing, George Lopez, I'll Fly Away, The Stand, Huff, Once and Again, Friday Night Lights and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.[2] In the summer of 2001, Walden released a solo album of mainly acoustic guitar pieces titled Music by... W. G. Snuffy Walden. The album included expanded or full versions of many of Walden's themes, such as "Once and Again", "Eugene's Ragtop", "Thirtysomething (Revisited)", and "West Wing Suite".[3] In July 2002, Tom Guerra conducted a comprehensive interview of Walden for Vintage Guitar Magazine.[4][5] In April 2008, Stephen J. Abramson interviewed Walden for a four-hour, multi-part video series for the Television Academy.[6] In March 2018, Up To Snuff, a film about Walden's career,[7] won the documentary competition in its premier at the Pasadena International Film Festival.[8][9] Awards and nominations[edit]Emmy Awards

Your edit request proposal contains text to be placed into the article; however, much of the text is identical to that which is already present in the article. Adding the proposal as it is shown in the request without specifying a verbatim description of which text is to be removed would double the size of the article. Please indicate what specific changes are to be made by including the text that is to be removed, followed by the text that is meant to replace it. Each individual change should be in the format of "Please change X to Y". Thank you! .spintendo 23:05, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

- Remove various maintenance tags.
- The update for Awards, Discography and Filmography sections fixes chronological order (oldest to newest) per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists of works and provides additional references.
- The update to "Professional success" removes some un-referenced cruft, changes preposition in first para for career change flow, adds verbiage about a Television Academy interview and adds supporting references.
- I enjoy working with wikitables, but the Filmography spans multiple years, these tables tend to get too complicated for casual editors to update.
When I ping you on open issues, do I need to include the Request edit template? Thank you ESparky (talk) 03:38, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
Reply[edit]
I'm afraid I don't understand your request to "change entire section content". What is it, about those sections, that you'd like changed? It appears as if you'd like to link those sections to the talk page in some way, but that's an impracticable request. Please clarify. .spintendo 06:02, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
- I see now what you meant with your request, that the material on the talk page was to replace that which was on the article space. Ive done this for all the sections except the Filmography section. I think this needs to be clarified what it means by filmography, specifically, what it was that his credit was applied as (e.g., music editor, etc.) .spintendo 06:37, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
Filmography request[edit]
| This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Wikitable as requested:
- Please replace bulleted list in Filmography section with wikitable provided below.
- Please remove maintenance banners.
- Most of the titles are blue linked, so if other interested editors want to chase down references, it may (or may not) still be possible. Thank you!ESparky (talk) 00:19, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- P.S. @Spintendo: is there some reason that we did not implement the Professional success section? I just discovered this fact. If reference pointers in the Filmography do not work, it is because I was under the impression that the last Request edit was fully implemented (excepting the Filmography). Some new source references may have been declared in my proposed "Professional success" section update. Thank You! ESparky (talk) 06:05, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Filmography reply 24-MAY-2018[edit]
Done
- I've added the Filmography table. Thank you for creating that.
- The Professional success section I've added, but I've removed that heading and placed the information under Musical career, as that encompasses the same topic area.
- When citing information from RhythmOne Group websites (AllMovies and AllMusic) please use the AllMovie and AllMusic reference templates.
- Regards, .spintendo 11:44, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Spintendo: Thank you, for cleaning up the Filmography, I've dumped a lot to unexpected hours on this -- thanks for taking the initiative -- you could have kicked it back. Very much appreciate the time you've expended here. Removing the "Professional success" section label really improves the flow, reads much better now.
- @Spintendo: Perhaps one tidy up? Add a legend to last row to the Filmography?
- |-
- ! Colspan="5"| <small> Unless otherwise noted, the default for the "Type" column (empty) is Television Series.</small>
- Then we can remove the few instances of "TV series" instead of filling every entry? Thanks! ESparky (talk) 17:22, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Spintendo: Perhaps one tidy up? Add a legend to last row to the Filmography?
Tidy up issues[edit]
| Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. The citation needed inline template was removed. The programs in the sort-able table are differentiated enough to warrant a type column |
- 1. Add a legend to last row to the Filmography wikitable
|- ! Colspan="5"| <small> Unless otherwise noted, the default for the "Type" column (empty) is Television Series.</small>
- 2. Remove instances of "TV series" from "Type" column for uniformity.
- 3. Citation needed tag, I presume the citation needed tag is about the DOB. Birth-date is on his personal Facebook page (month, day), but not public facing. Other sources appear to rely on Wikipedia for birth-date. Alternately, most sources report that Walden was born in Louisiana and grew up in Texas (several already in the ref section (<ref name="OC Weekly 2018" />), but one errantly claims born in Texas in title.)
Thank you!ESparky (talk) 21:41, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
Partially implemented The table lists TV series, TV movies and films all in equal measure, with many of them still not filled out and/or undetermined. Not having them filled out can be confusing in certain scenarios. For instance, when the table is sorted according to type, it may be assumed in the case of blank cells that they take on the characteristics of whichever labeled cell is above them, which in this case would be false. It would be best to have all the cells labeled so they sort according to type. .spintendo 00:34, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Implemented Also, the first entry should specify whether he was an actor in front of the camera in this episode or a musician behind the camera; just putting "guitarist" is not clear. Thanks .spintendo 09:06, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Spintendo: If you check back to my first submission of the wikitable, I had Actor/guitarist, I thought you took it out for some reason. Thus, I was hesitant to put back in, what you had already taken out. Photo: back row, right, playing the six string -- he would probably like to have it forgotten. Thanks again!

Boll Weevil Blues[edit]
The personnel on this track from John 'Rabbit' Bundrick's Broken Arrows (1973) album was never listed on either the LP or the re-issue CD, it is common knowledge among the fan-base forums, etc., that that's Snuffy on guitar. I've written to see if he'll come out on this or if he'll remain cagey about it or not. Also, Free/Bad Co's Simon Kirke is rumored to be the drummer. 50.111.0.4 (talk) 18:43, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
