Bill McBirnie and references
I'm guessing you are Mr McBirnie? As you may know, there's a lot of concern about unreferenced biographies of living people in Wikipedia and this can make articles prone to deletion. I've started addressing these by adding some first references to the article. I'd say there is further to go though and, leaving aside conflict of interest considerations, you probably have material which can complete that process - for example precise editions/pages for the quotes from Coda etc; explicit refs for the mentioned awards, etc. That said, these quotations don't look encyclopaedic at the moment and it would be better to blend them into the text. Anyway, these are my suggestions for getting the article into a robust state so that it can sit without warning boxes etc. AllyD (talk) 11:04, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

And other articles?
As well as the above, as you're obviously knowledgeable in the field, it would be good if you're able to enhance other articles on jazz flautists, etc.? AllyD (talk) 11:05, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

So as you can see, Mr. McBirnie, it doesn't matter how talented or knowledgeable you are, 12-year-olds can overrule you on Wikipedia. Flutedude (talk) 16:18, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
