 * What are you doing? I tried to improve this page. I use primary sources. Saxrevolutions (talk) 17:30, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
 * See below. Please read WP:PRIMARY on why you should not. Kleuske (talk) 17:33, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Precisely! Elise Hall didn't found the Boston Orchestral Club - she was one of the people who created it - and she didn't even learn the saxophone from George Longy; she knew how to play it before, in Santa Barbara. What you want to put on the page is inaccurate and false. I will take another look at the text as you suggest not to "analyze, evaluate, interpret, or synthesize material found in a primary source", and if you change the content again, I will contact an administrator to revoke you.

 * If you have sources for that, you are more than welcome to add that. Do not rely on 1905 french tabloids, though. Kleuske (talk) 18:03, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
 * If an interview with the protagonist herself (Elise Hall), even if the journalist talks about her in the third person, cannot be considered a primary source... I don't know what can be considered a primary source. If in my previous edition I have put "She is supposed to have travelled (and been educated) in France, where she was probably involved in artistic activities and some music" referring to that source of 1905 -to another one of 1910 in which she speaks in the first person, and in her epitaph of 1924-, it is precisely to establish a fact (she knew music before she met Longy), but there is no record of training in any official institution in France or in the USA. Anyway, as you suggest, I will try to minimise my adverbs of doubt, but please do not touch my editing if you cannot improve it or I will write to an administrator.

 * The problem is that it is a primary source. Moreover, you are interpreting that primary source, which constitutes original research, which is not allowed. Kleuske (talk) 18:39, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

WP:OR/WP:PRIMARY
Hi. I strongly suggest you read up on original research and (associated) use of primary sources.While the latter can be used under some circumstances, the former is an absolute no-no on Wikipedia. A 1905 interview in a French tabloid isn't a good source for anything. Kleuske (talk) 17:27, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
