Inline citations
Hi Tad, I saw you created Metropole Cafe a while ago. The "inline citations" requested in the tag on this article require the following:
 * 1) After the statement / the paragraph that is supported by the reference, put all information about the reference between tags. This looks best if you use the cite template, see documentation at Template:Cite. The whole construct then looks like this
 * 2) At the bottom of the page, collect all references of the article by placing a reflist template.

You can look at Metropole Cafe again to see an example of how this works. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! --Pgallert (talk) 19:39, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

To PGallert
Thanks -- I'll make sure to follow that guideline in the future. I'm used to the in-text citation style of MLA.

Not sure I'm editing the talk page correctly...

 * Hi Tad, there is nothing wrong with your talk page edit. However, for obtaining help the helpme template only works if it is not surrounded by   tags--you just type the word "helpme" (no space) and surround it by double curly brackets. Cheers, Pgallert (talk) 06:38, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Brew Moore wiki page
The author mentions a 1949 session with Moore, Stan Getz, Al Cohn and Zoot Sims for Savoy. I don't want to change this because I'm not positive that the five saxophone players didn't make a record for Savoy. But I know that in 1949, they recorded a bunch of sides for Prestige.

Joe Williams (jazz singer)
A page you previously contributed to, Joe Williams (jazz singer), had many prior revisions deleted due to copyright issues. For details please see Talk:Joe Williams (jazz singer). Your prior version may be temporarily restored upon request if you need it for reference to re-incorporate constructive edits that do not make use of the copyright infringing material. Please feel free to leave me a talk message if you need this done. Happy editing, — xaosflux  Talk 22:29, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 30
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hall Overton, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New Directions. 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.

Barbara Lea
The Barbara Lea page is a little confusing. The first paragraph talks about her growing up and attending school in Detroit. The second paragraph begins with a line about Boston being a musical hotbed, which it was, but so was Detroit. Did she move to Boston at some point, or was she jamming with musicians in Detroit? he paragraph ends with her enrolling at Wellesley, which would put her in Boston.

Jazz harpists
The jazz harpists page is broken down by letters of the alphabet. It probably shouldn't be, because there are so few jazz harpists, but it is. Anyway, I would like to add harpist Corky Hale to the page -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corky_Hale --but I don't know how to add a H.

 * Hey, just to help you out a bit, User talk pages (you're currently reading yours if you're reading this) are usually where other people come to leave messages to you. So that's why you may have noticed you haven't gotten much of a response from other people when you write on your own talk page. Asking questions on your talk page is kind comparable to...getting lost while traveling and asking for directions by leaving yourself a voicemail on your phone asking for help. Unless someone overheard you, you're really just kind of talking to yourself. (I only stumbled across it because I saw your comment at WP:ALBUMS.) Hope this helps. Thanks.

Disambiguation link notification for September 16
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sizzlin', you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page George Tucker ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Sizzlin%27 check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Sizzlin%27?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
