Disambiguation link notification for August 30
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mick Jagger, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dave Stewart (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Carlos Santana, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Tom Waits discography
For what possible reason would you add album links to the main article when there is a separate discography? And why, if you felt it was necessary, would you do so without an edit summary explaining your reasons? I really do not regard that as helpful. --- The Old Jacobite The '45  14:45, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Is there some sort of central consensus that this is a good thing? Because I don't see the point of it. For example, who gets to say which albums get included? --John (talk) 08:33, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Discography
I see you have been adding the main albums to many bios - I agree that many bios have them.... BUT bios like Frank Zappa and Neil Young are highly developed and will mention the albums in the main text (with links) - plus they can also been seen at the bottom of the page in the templates. So in cases were albums are arleady linked 2 times in an article we generally avoid adding  them again in the "Discography" section thus liking them 3 times  especially when a Discography has its own  page. You will find well developed articles (like FA and GA) article generally have this format. That said just need to talk about the changes at the very least in your edit summary if not on the talk pages following the good practice of BOLD, revert, discuss cycle and Wikipedia:Edit summary....

Removing live BB King album
Greetings JPGR69. I don't see the point of removing BB King's "Apollo" recording. As there doesn't appear to be any consensus to that effect on the corresponding talkpage, if there is any elsewhere, I'd appreciate it if you could point me to it. The recording in question won a Grammy so it's not just "any old recording". On the other hand, personally, I think that as there's already a link to the complete discography, the whole section would be better if it only listed his Grammy-winning recordings. Regards, --Technopat (talk) 08:02, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello Technopat. I agree that Apollo is a very important album in BB's career, but the thing is - that is not the point. Wiki discographies should not depend on subjective criteria like fame or critical acclaim. This album list has to be coherent with the more detailed list appearing on the discography page. Anyway, I agree that "solo albums" is a bit confusing, so I renamed this list as "studio albums", which means you can create a "live albums" section just below, where Apollo would rightly belong. Regards, --JPGR69

Gallagher Discography
Greetings. I noticed that you and another user have been making the same change to the Rory Gallagher discography section. I think the order was you removed a live album, another user put it back and now you have re-removed it. I put a section on the Rory Gallagher talk page to discuss it. I don't feel strongly about the issue but I don't see the rationale for just removing an album because its a live album. I'm not aware of any policy that live albums can't go on those summary pages and for some artists (and Rory is such an artist IMO) their live act and live albums really defined who they were and belong in a summary.

Single purpose account?
Couldn't help but notice you've been a virtual WP:SPA for years rming all links to "non-studio" albums from artists' discographies; is there a WP page you can point to justifying the removal of these links? Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 16:23, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

The general consensus is that these "short discographies" only list "regular albums" (mostly studio albums, no compilations, no live albums apart from those consisting of previously unreleased material). Other albums are usually listed on the detailed discography page. That's the way it works on most artists wiki pages ; all I do is correct a few pages every once in a while so as to match this objective criteria.


 * OK, JPGR69, do I correctly understand that this is a "general consensus" you are enforcing to orphan certain album articles and delink them from their artist articles, only this "general consensus" doesn't seem to be actually written down anywhere that you can point to? Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 14:41, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

The album articles are not really orphaned, they are still linked in the discography pages. The consensus is not written anywhere, but does it mean it is a bad thing ?


 * It stretches the meaning of the word "consensus" when you have an unwritten, undiscussed "consensus" in your head that you are enforcing across the board. It's much preferable to have a discussion in the appropriate place (probably the relevant wikiproject) to sound out things like "consensus".  That would at least give you something you could point to if anyone challenges it. I see quite a few other editors above here have questioned why you were removing links from individual articles over the years, but there's really no other way to settle consensus. Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 15:36, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Agree on the "consensus" thing. I always explained why I removed some links, and sometimes agreed on keeping them on the list after discussion with other editors. I do not mean to enforce anything. For example, concerning "Babylon By Bus" by Bob Marley, my opinion is that there is no objective reason why it should be on the list and not, say, the 1975 "Live!" album ; but I am ready to discuss the subject.

Grateful Dead -- Discography section
Greetings, JPGR69. I have started a discussion related to a change you made two years ago in the Discography section of the Grateful Dead article. There's been some recent back and forth about what that section should include. Feel free to join in, at Talk:Grateful Dead. Thanks. — Mudwater (Talk) 13:59, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

Discographies
Whilst I appreciate your efforts in expanding the discographies for various blues musicians, please bear in mind a couple of key editing guidelines. Firstly, additional information edited into Wikipedia should have associated reliable source(s). Please see Verifiability in this regard. Also, it is never a good idea to remove existing references, as you did recently at Eddie Cusic, without good reason and an alternative source. Thank you,

Focus discography
Editors at Wikipedia removes «Ship of Memories» from the discography over and over again. Why? Ship of Memories, Golden Oldies & Focus Family Album is a compilation STUDIO album. Compilation albums is "greatest hits", like "Hocus Pocus" (1994) & "Best of Vol. 2" (2011). No greatest hits compilations, but compilation studio albums is OK. Do not remove "Ship of Memories from the discography section on this page page. Thank you. --NRKfan (talk) 18:24, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
