Conflict of interest
If you are closely affiliated with the topics you have written about at Civilización o Barbarie and Bernardo Kuczer, you should familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy. Writing about yourself or your accomplishments is strongly discourage as it is very difficult to retain the proper neutrality when writing about such topics.

 * Hi, I am not Bernardo Kuczer. I only helped the musicologist Goliath613 uploadding files for the page and the english texts etc. I had never before uploaded visual material and did several mistakes in the tagging. We have contacted the owner so that he is also sending permissions to the wiki. Thanks for pointing out the mistakes. --Hammero (talk) 17:39, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I would like to ask you to be as kind as to remove the template of the biography of Bernardo Kuczer. I have explained to you what the mistakes were, that lead you to think I might be him.If you think this article is written with bias or its content is untrue, please state this in detail. I find it to be a very great offence to place this respectable artist, his life and achievements generally under "suspicion" and nobody deserves this. In that doing you are hurting unnecessarily the reputation and honour of a living person.

On the other hand, if you follow up your detective investigation on my collaboration (with Goliath613), in particular, you will realise that i did almost not contribute with content to the article, but I mostly corrected problems of translation (from the German original) and/or some visual aspects and a couple of details on the information as I found out about it. Thanks.--Hammero (talk) 16:03, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ I have removed the autobiography tag. However, I have placed a tag requesting better sourcing.  There is a vast amount of detail in this biography that has no corroboration.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:31, 15 August 2013 (UTC)


 * A vast amount ? it would help if you referred with detail to what it is lacking, because, that same tag could, I truly think so, be put to absolutely every article in the wiki (and in general) and I could show it to you if you name me any bio here. The general question must be if there is bias or untrue facts. I do not think a birth (and death) certificate is asked for, for every biography. And even then, how could you be sure it is not a fake? Lets give the artist, who is a public figure, some benefit instead of "condemning" him without proof that the facts are wrong. We rae still getting material from him directly, although he is very reluctant and is even thinking of asking the wiki for a deletion of this pages.... Today arrived the Program book of the ISCM 1987, from which we could cite important aspects. But if you truly read, with interest what here is written, you will realize the man has not been interested in the music scene for years and this is one of the reasons there is so little (published) material about him and his work. ManyThanks --Hammero (talk) 18:10, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Logo
Do you understand that in publishing your logo, you have released it to the public domain such that anyone can now use your logo on their music publications? I'm not sure that was your intention. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 22:45, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

 * We contacted the owner (sent him a form for permissions), and he answered that he will be sending permissions for the visual files to wikipedia himself. (Is this the right address to do so ? permissions-en@wikimedia.org ). How will we know if he finally did ? I hope he does it on time. It is quite difficult to relate to him… Thanks again. --Hammero (talk) 18:34, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is the proper address. He'll need to identify himself sufficiently so that the permissions committee can verify his right to release these files to the public domain.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:54, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

translation issue
Mr Kohl: I would like to explain the following. The composer wrote to me yesterday saying that Halbreich seems to have misunderstood him, because, when he played pieces to him, he played them from a cassette, since they were not on the big Hall (and they communicated in English). (On the other hand, he does not deny having used, between others, also Cassette machines (big plural) with special techniques he himself invented to implement some parts of some pieces of this music). I contacted Goliath613, because he did the French translation (my French is no good at all) and because he is a certified translator from French and he told me that the word "réalisés" is a rather open one. I just looked in Google translate (French to English) and see that for that verb several possibilities are given, starting with "achieve" but including for exp. the word "perform". If you think the word produced is the right one, that will have to stay as a "claim" done by Halbreich, which the composer strongly challenges. This has nothing to do with the aesthetic question of the citation, but with technical aspects of the doing. If he for example had said Kuczer did it with "a shoe", would the composer have to admit that ? Here I think (and it is getting really dif) one could put next to the word "réalisés" either "citation needed" or perhaps a footnote saying that the composer thinks that word is a missrepresentation or whatever... In any case, we did put the French version of the article, so that there is no question of bias on our side. Thanks --Hammero (talk) 22:43, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
 * One thing about Wikipedia that may take time to get used to is that verifiable sources matter, and what we "know to be true" does not. In this case, however wrong Halbreich may be, we are not entitled to change his mistake, simply because we believe him to be in error. I, too, have some credentials as a translator from French (though not a formal certification), and while it is perfectly true that "réalisés" may be translated in a number of different ways, "reproduced" is not one of them. It is also very plain that (as unlikely as it seems) Halbreich believed that Kuczer produced—realised, achieved, made, carried out, fulfilled, completed, or whatever—the work entirely with cassette tape recorders. It would be good to find a different published source that corrects this claim, but until such a reference can be found, all we can do is accept Halbreich's text as it stands.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 00:01, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
 * So many words about one word! Mamma mia... Fortunately, in my real (translator's) life, I hardly have to endure this kind of discussions. Thank you for your patience. --Goliath613 (talk) 04:24, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
