Talk:Goblet drum

message: I renamed the article to 'Goblet drum' because of all the choices, its the most neutral. No one culture has the 'real' or 'authentic' goblet drum. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnkarp (talk • contribs) 07:03, 4 September 2004 (UTC)

message: The various goblet drums are quite distinct.  Go to YouTube and watch Iranian tonbak players vs. Egyptian or Turkish doumbek players.  It's totally different.  Wikipedia doesn't yet have enough info on these subjects, but combining them will make it worse. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.164.10.43 (talk) 06:25, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi there bdb484. Can you please tell me why you insist on removing the references from the goblet drumming page? I dont understand your logic. Please communicate prior to removing them again. They are 'references' to help people learn more about the drum. There was alot of very useful links there before you deleted them all for some reason. PLease just communicate. pacerman265 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pacerman265 (talk • contribs) 22:43, 28 July 2009 (UTC−4) 
:As I explained in my edit summaries, the links were deleted because they did not meet the Wikipedia's criteria for external links; this is why I used WP:LINKFARM in my edit summary for each of those edits. If you're looking for more specific reasons, here they are.
:*Fingers of Fury was deleted because:
::#The link is mainly intended to promote a website (WP:ELNO #4);
::#The website exists primarily to sell a product (WP:ELNO #5); and
::#The link requires payment or registration to view the relevant content. (WP:ELNO #6).
:*Percussion-net was deleted because:
::#The link is mainly intended to promote a website (WP:ELNO #4);
::#The link directs to a social networking site and its forum or discussion group (WP:ELNO #10);
::#The link requires payment or registration to view the relevant content (WP:ELNO #6).
::#The link steers the user to a site that is only indirectly related to the article subject (WP:ELNO #13);
:*Darbuka on Youtube was deleted because:

:Beyond this, it should also be noted that you should not be adding links to your own content, such as Fingers of Fury. This violates Wikipedia's policy on spamming and conflicts of interest. Either violation is apt to get you blocked. — Bdb484 (talk) 15:03, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  PLease stop deleting the references from the Goblet drumming page bdb484. 

message: The first line of the "Names" section is rendering as "* Iran (Persian) - tombak, tonbak (تُمبَک ,تنبک ,دمبک ,دنبک ,تمبک) or zarb (ضَرب or ضَرب) [1]" in both Internet Explorer and Firefox. Any idea how to fix it? --Ronz (talk) 00:13, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the fix!  I don't think the foreign spelling was needed anyway, especially when provided in the linked articles and sources. --Ronz (talk) 00:58, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Rendering of first line of Names section

message: I changed the lead from listing the countries and regions primarily associated with the goblet drum to a more generic notation that those countries are in the vicinity of the Arabian peninsula. The change was reverted (not mentioning any names), so I figured I'd go ahead and explain why.
In addition to this recent edit, there seems to be an ongoing attempt by editors to insert their preferred cultures into the list and then push them to the top. This has been going on for no less than three and a half years, as you can see from the following edits: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and .
Of course, this is only a sampling from the most recent set of edits in the page history. I'm not sure how much further back this goes, but I don't really doubt that it's been going for some time.
This long-term, multiparty edit war presents us with a few options. First, we can can change the wording to something more generic and inclusive that is likely to be more stable. Alternatively, we could delete the entire sentence, as it appears to be WP:OR anyway. Your thoughts? — Bdb484 (talk) 00:31, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Hi, I am a volunteer with the Global Lives Project. A video of a Lebanese child playing the Drbukh or Goblet Drum might be helpful here to convey the rhythmic sound of the instrument? The video is a good for the people who visit the Drum page and want to learn more about the Goblet Drum. The video can be found here and a shorter video of approximately 30 seconds will be uploaded later. Indu Murali (talk) 21:03, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Goblet drum 

message: The concept of a goblet drum (an entire family of drums) and the darabuka or doumbek (two individual instrument) are two different ones. There's easily enough content to support both pages, so I am wondering if this oddly formed page needs to be split. We do not have a page for simply "high clarinets", for example. Why?
