According to KOCH's webpage, they spell their name all in caps. For accuracy sake, that convention should also be followed here. Every reference should be changed, but for now for this page, I'll make the change and use a pipe | so that the links are followed.  
I'm also going to check sources for the artists listed, starting with KOCH's webpage. Figureskatingfan 16:22, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I also believe that we should check all artists against a source, people just seem to be adding their favourite artists to the list and it is becoming out of control. Also, regarding the Koch/KOCH, I would suggest that we use whatever way the companies spell it on their website. However rather than using a different name to the existing articles, they should all be moved e.g Koch Records be moved to KOCH Records. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 18:23, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Someone just did that today--added an artist without a source.  I think that as this article gets cleaned up, we should instill the policy that if you add an artist, you MUST give a reference, and if you don't, it gets automatically deleted.  And I think that it needs to be more than just the KOCH webpage, and that each artist added to the list should be supported by another source.  Of course, that's gonna be a lot of work, but I think it's a worthwhile project. Figureskatingfan 23:56, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I agree, we casnt just use the KOCH wesbite as a source, they could list anybody, e.g there company website stated that they are the "Biggest and Best" label or something like that. Its not reliable. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 09:56, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it to be moved. --Stemonitis 05:13, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested Move

message: As I was checking the sources for this article, I started thinking that it may be better if the structure of the page was different.  For example, I don't understand the separation in the "Roster" section ("Roster" and "Other Artists").  I mean, what puts an artist in one section and not in the other?  Perhaps the solution is to list them by genres, or music divisions, like KOCH does on their webpage.
Part of the problem, I see, is that KOCH's catalog is so eclectic, and that as a music company, it doesn't follow convention.  I mean, they sign everyone from rap artists to The Wiggles.  The list here doesn't even include KOCH's children division, so I think that dividing the list into genres will help, and make the article easier to read.
I think this deserves some discussion, so I won't go ahead and hack up this article--not yet, anyway--until there's some consensus. Figureskatingfan 17:06, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. We should have different sections for different genres etc as you have suggested and we should also remove or put the former artists in a different sub-section. This article is very run-down and innacurate. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 18:23, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Being the one who took the time to improve this article's reference section, I may not know much about Koch, but I do know how to check sources.  As per WP policy, it's crucial that every artist listed should be substantiated.  If you want to make the differentiation between the label and the distribution parts of the company, explain it in the body of the article and then back it up.  Perhaps that's something for the Koch Entertainment article. Figureskatingfan 21:18, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, just reverting peoples contributions will not get this article anywhere. Please dissciss major changes on the talk page and reference your information. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 21:24, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Structure of article

message: Someone (68.199.247.145) keeps reverting the change I've made (Koch → KOCH).  I've explained why I think it should be made.  I've also requested that this page is moved.  So until an administrator makes a decision, I won't change it back.  Please, let's not get into an edit war over this. Figureskatingfan 03:18, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well. Actually if you look at the edit history and the talk page, you will notice that everybody has come to this decision together. Why would I be obsessed with Koch its "An industry graveyard" --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 17:15, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

text: This is Wikipedia.  It's not about original research; see Wikipedia:No original research.  If the lists are "accurate," that's fine, but back them up, please! Figureskatingfan 21:24, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit War? 

message: Ok, This article has been improved a lot recently. There are, however, some problems. When adding new artists do not put a reference next to every persons name. Instead put a sentence at the top of the seciotn which says somehting like "The following artists are all signed to the Jazz division" and then all of the references. Also you do not need to put "ref name=" and put the ref next to every persons name. One mention at the top of the section is OK. Also the  is not neccessary. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 12:38, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: G, I'm not so sure about this.  The problem with your way is that it makes it impossible to know what reference goes with which name.  I can also see that it makes adding artists more difficult and easier for errors.  I'm gonna go ahead and move it back to my original structure, but keep your "the following artists" sentence.  Everyone, look and see how it looks and we'll make changes as necessary/agreed upon. Figureskatingfan 21:33, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I see what you mean. I actually agree with you. I spent all that time for nothing lol.
And in response to 68.199.247.145, Koch is a graveyard and if you really had any affiliation with Koch at all. You surely would want their article to be formatted properly? not unreferenced and unorganized? --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 22:22, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Please go read Wikipedia:Verifiability.  This is straight from that policy: 
The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. "Verifiable" in this context means that any reader should be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source. Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed.
WP also demands that all information published be from a reliable, third party source.  Sorry, it's not enough to say that you "work for the company."  If you do, then shouldn't you have something to verify what you continue to insist stay here?  If you can't and/or won't provide it, I'm going to remove it, or as WP suggests, move the unverifiable content to the talk page. Figureskatingfan 23:11, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
