I removed your lengthy question from the Help desk because you had already also asked it in the correct place, Talk:Aaron Robinson (composer). Hopefully you will get an answer there. - David Biddulph (talk) 15:19, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, David. I wasn't sure. Thanks. Broadwaymaestro (talk) 17:52, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Biography of a Living Person Request to Fix Article
Thanks to the advice of a helpful volunteer, I've taken this opportunity to start a section on this talk page. If you need to know the reason why, please refer to my initial message on the talk page for Aaron Robinson (composer). Thank you.

To begin:

The tags placed at the beginning of the article are without warrant and have not been proven true. The editing contributor who placed this tag on this article is also responsible for supplying incorrect and inaccurate information leading to suspicion of authorship. Since I believe that certain contributors have a personal interest and ulterior motive to this article in placing an untrue light upon my involvement it appears to be premeditative and methodical.

The article is not autobiographical, and I have no relation to any of the contributors, their affiliates or institutions as stated. Unless this can be proved, it places a negative claim on my character as the subject that is entirely untrue. I understand my stating this fact cannot be allowed to override its initial placement, but no explanation or facts that lead to this tag placement were ever given on the talk page. In fact, most contributions by certain volunteers have been hastily made without any support on the talk page. I challenge this tag.

This article in no way or manner references self-published works. I take great offense to this as my career and professionalism is brought into question with this untrue statement. The same contributor who placed this tag also included a false statement within the article that I self-published the book “Does God Sing.” Which was later to be found incorrect and removed. I challenge this tag.

I do agree with the third tag regarding relied sources too close to the subject. I believe in my afore mentioned initial posting for aid in this situation, the named contributors seem to have motives that are not worthy of Wikipedia contributions. It is sad that this article has been violated so often that this tag must remain.

My goal at this point is to seek aid and constructive help from non-biased, impersonal, experienced contributors/volunteers that can fix this article to the point where there are no longer tags of any kind reflecting a negative light upon its reliability and subject, and that no citations or reliable sources are called into question.

I will direct to the best of my ability any contributor wishing to right the wrongs within this article the errors and where to find the correct information with the reliable sources that are without contest. I do not feel comfortable in editing my own article as I feel this to be self-promoting.

I am saddened at the removal of so much information that was in fact true simply because the contributor did not take the time to find a reliable source. For instance, I did indeed composer, conduct and record the film score to In The Shadows of Grey Gardens. Yet this was removed simply because the citation was incorrect. Simply remove the citation that is wrong, and either look for a reliable source to back up the statement, or place a “Citation Needed” next to it. Someone might know other than you where to retrieve such information.

I do not expect this to happen overnight. I hope to achieve a well-written article by other contributors that Wikipedia can be proud of and so can I. If you are willing to help out, I appreciate your contributions.

Thank you Broadwaymaestro (talk) 17:29, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Aaron_Robinson_(composer)
I have just read your comments on the talk page of Aaron_Robinson_(composer).

I know nothing about you, or about music, but I became involved in the early history of the article, so it is interesting to read your own views. As I recollect (this could be checked by examining the history of the article and of its talk page), the article was created by User:Impromp2music, who showed more enthusiasm than understanding of Wikipedia practices. His work was then criticised, unduly harshly in my view, by User:Cindamuse. There was a lot of discussion about this on Impromp2music's talk page, some of it later deleted by Impromp2Music. Since then, the Impromp2Music account has been blocked by Wikipedia admins, as a second account of User:Music4ibc. Maproom (talk) 13:33, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
