 * why do you keep removing the external links? DougG986 (talk) 17:38, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 * because you're adding copyright violations and redundant links. Jazztimes is a reference, it does not also need to be in the external links. You are perilously close to losing access to edit this article directly. Please use edit requests. Star   Mississippi  17:50, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I apologize as I am new to this. Wikipedia "Strongly Discourages" but does not "forbid" and the definition of "Family", well it's not defined. I voluntarily put forth that I "may" have a conflict of interest, but I have no desire to put forth false information. Jeff Michael Andrews is My cousin (I would consider that family). I found his article on the Spanish language version of Wikipedia and I was simply trying to create the same page in the English Wiki page but it has not been straight forward.
 * I don't know how to put forward the "request" that you speak of.
 * I would appreciate any help you could be in fleshing out this page to honor my cousin. I apologize if I am being difficult, I am merely trying to do right by Jeff.
 * any information and /or assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. DougG986 (talk) 18:23, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I would suggest you don't edit the article directly even if you want to argue the edges of whether you can. You're not familiar enough with our policies. Wanting to honor your cousin is not what Wikipedia is for, and part of why it would be a challenge for you to edit neutrally. I recommend reading about reliable sources and why AllMusic might not be ideal, and copyright. We cannot reproduce what other sites have written, nor should we as the tone is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. Let me know if I can help further. Star   Mississippi  18:29, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 * With all due respect, you haven't really helped at all. you have been quite the impediment and explained little that could be considered helpful.
 * I will take your recommendation under advisement, but that which is not illegal is ergo legal. rules is rules.
 * maybe you think someone with no interest in the subject will write it? that why two years after his death there was still no article, (Spanish Wiki not withstanding).
 * As I am not part of Jeff's Family I will remove the conflict. DougG986 (talk) 19:03, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 * You said you are his cousin. That is a conflict of interest.
 * This is a volunteer project. No one is obligated to write or assist on anything. I chose to accept the article and I have tried to help you, but you do not indicate a willingness to listen and learn. If you persist down that road, you will be blocked and will not have access to edit the article. Continuing to add inappropriate content is the fast track to that. Star   Mississippi  19:33, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 * "Jazztimes is a reference, it does not also need to be in the external links." OK, that was the first thing that you said that was helpful, I did not know this...but then how could I? I do listen and learn.
 * Show me in writing where it says that a cousin is family. At what distance does this apply? is a third cousin, twice removed, still family?
 * BTW, you are an abusive bully
 * That said, I am done. I am no longer "volunteering" to do hours of work only to have some bitch delete it all. DougG986 (talk) 20:02, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Please don't re-add it. It is user generated and not a reliable source. See RSDISCOGS for more information on why. Happy to answer any further questions. Thanks. Star  Mississippi  03:14, 20 May 2022 (UTC)


 * So you know, you should be using WP:Edit requests now that the article is in mainspace since you declared your Conflict of Interest. Thanks! Star   Mississippi  01:30, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
