J. C. Johnson
Belatedly, I've noticed your edits to the page that was previously called James C. Johnson, which I've now moved to J. C. Johnson. Thanks for your involvement. I've no reason to doubt the truth of your edits - you clearly know much more about him than I do, and my original article was largely based on the article at Allmusic, which I know from experience is a site that often gets facts wrong. I've now included much of your text into the revised article. However, there is a problem, in that "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth — whether readers can check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true." I suspect that much of what you have said may be your own original research, and - at least in theory - it should not be included in Wikipedia. I'm more than happy to work with you on this - if you have published sources for your information, please either add them yourself or - if you need help with references beyond what is in the advice at WP:RS - let me know.

 * Hi, I cannot figure out how to reply to this, so I hope I am doing this right.
 * Yes, I do know a lot about J.C. Johnson. I was his protege and friend, and have his complete archives in my basement. But, of course, much of what I know is in my files and not on the web, so we have the verification problem. Steve Huey bio, unfortunately, got a lot wrong, which is still wrong in the J.C. Johnson Wikipedia article.
 * Two wrong items from Steve Huey's bio are still in the article.
 * 1. Henry Creamer wrote with JAMES P. JOHNSON, not J.C. and
 * 2. KEEP SHUFFLIN, was written by FATS and JAMES P. JOHNSON, not J.C..
 * I have included a link to a JAMES P JOHNSON account that lists correctly lists Creamer and Keep Shufflin as being part of the JAMES P. legacy: http://www.redhotjazz.com/jpjohnson.html
 * I will go back to my original article and try to provide verifiability for anything taken out (or even stuff in the article that might need a cite), as it all is true. But I understand that, until I write that book I've been threatening to write about J.C., I am not (by myself) a verifiable source - by Wikipedia standards.
 * Thanks for the input! Gary Holmes

 * Sorry, I was away when you posted the reply above, and forgot to get back to it. If you amend the article to reflect the true picture, I'll happily tidy it up afterwards if necessary.  Regards, Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:49, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
