I agree. I tried to take out some of the stuff. Enough? dfrankow 16:49, 5 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Looks good...... evidently I was copy-correcting his article even as he was repeatedly editing it live, and we inadvertently had a revert war without realizing it. wikipediatrix 00:11, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Stonescover2.jpg
Image:Stonescover2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Re-reversion of peacock language
Recently, I replaced very selective, superlative, peacock language quotes about Woody Shaw, with a factual, respectfual acknowledgement of his stature in jazz. A numbered editor made 4 changes to return the aticle to its former condition The edits have been reverted and the editor will be contacted. Tapered (talk) 09:55, 1 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Just removed more peacock language, and claims unsupported by cited references. All Music is not, in my opinion, a reliable source to evaluate the long-term status of classical or jazz musicians. I invite comments about that. Tapered (talk) 00:28, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

What does "under the influence of" mean?
He eventually left school but continued his study of the trumpet under the influence of [...] Clifford Brown. He later discovered that he had picked up the trumpet during the same month and year that Brown died: June 1956. <-- seems a little misleading to me. I think it is saying that one of his 'influencers' died before Shaw could play the trumpet.
