Glow
Since I am the one that put up the personnel section for Glow (Brett Eldredge album), I felt the need to respond to your "what a mess" edit summary.
 * That list was 100% accurate when I posted it. And I know that it was accurate because it was a copy-and-paste, with just a few minor changes to comply with the differences between the way it is done on WP and my source site. Sadly, as you see often happening, the information changed from the initial information and the information that was available after the official release.
 * Changing/removing a couple entries does not qualify as "a mess". I've seen messes on here, this wasn't one of them. While I am not a super-sensitive sissy, WP has rules that try to make this a "safe place". Choose your words more carefully next time. The next time, someone could be offended, and you could get banned. Especially when it is over information that was completely legitimate when it was posted

Sorry, Kelly. Do you work for the label? What was the source for all the strange wrong information? What is the "source site" that you mention, as it is also apparently wrong? I am the sole arranger, the conductor, co-producer and pianist on the record. I'm afraid it was indeed a mess. It was NEVER "accurate" or "legitimate." I don't know from what source you "copied" before you "pasted," but that source was apparently also a mess. It was especially striking to see the great Johnny Mandel credited as an arranger. I think two other people, unknown to us, were credited as arrangers. A violinist was credited as a vocalist. It especially bothered me that someone unfamiliar to me was credited as the producer. The producers are Jay Newland and me.

I'm sorry I irritated you, but where did you get these goofy credits? -- RobRobmounsey (talk) 20:12, 31 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Again with the rules. Be careful when you divulge personal information. WP doesn't allow people to edit articles that they are personally involved with.
 * Anyway... I belong to some "insider" databases and subscription sites. You probably know the ones am talking about, or similar. We can't post them as sources because they are not public. But as far as public sites go, I do not like AllMusic. It is full of errors. But, for some strange reason, WP accepts it as a valid source. If you go look at the two entries for Glow, you'll see that they don't match. But they do have some of the information I included in my edits. And while you claim that the information is wrong, it is acceptable to WP. It is just one example of conflicting information. One album, two entries, two sets of information.


 * I actually have something about that written on my user page - about what is considered an acceptable source. The point is, however, you and I know that a lot of these sources are bogus, but that is what we have to use. You say my place is wrong. I say the acceptable place is wrong. Proper information is hard to find anymore.

Kelly! "Again with the rules?" Seriously? What rules? A "rule" that information should be true and not false? You demonstrate vividly the problem with Wikipedia by claiming that a "list was 100% accurate" because it was a "copy-and-paste" from some unnamed source that you yourself admit is inaccurate!

You're certainly right about AllMusic: it's garbage.

I don't just "claim" that the information is wrong. THE INFORMATION IS WRONG. I WAS THERE. Were you? But, as you say, the wrong information is "acceptable" to Wikipedia.

Again, where did these goofy "credits" come from? I'd like to track down the mistakes, as they only proliferate. -- R.
