Talk:Hot Band

message: ==
Regarding a page on the Hot Band- I only got the chance to use this computer for a total of 15 min. (my computer being overhauled) Please give me a break here.  I can show that the Hot Band, which began as a backup band for Emmylou Harris was a place from which many notable musicians sprung, not unlike the Eagles though they never went on to play without Emmylou, but the quality of the musicians which played under that name are pertinent, and the mixture of musical backgrounds helped to foster Country rock as with Gram Parsons.  I haven't even begun.  I hope I won't be shot down before even presenting the page.--leahtwosaints (talk) 19:41, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks for understanding the importance of citing sources.  A good place to start would be the Wikipedia article on citing sources: WP:REF where you will find several templates to use - including a template for citing a web source (such as YouTube).  I would also suggest referring to the Wikipedia Tutorial: WP:T and the Wikipedia Manual of Style: WP:MOS before doing any editing. Kmzundel (talk) 15:50, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually it's not considered useful to cite YouTube as their pages come and go, especially in the case of copyright violations, which the appearance of Emmylou/Hot Band on Old Grey Whistle Test undoubtedly is (the BBC4 logo is visible in the clip!). Have a look at policy on that one. Better to use   to refer to the original broadcast (I believe this was only in October 2007) as a source. Broadcasts are considered to be published material and so can be referred to as sources. --Rodhullandemu (please reply here - contribs) 23:36, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Wouldn't it be better to just make a redirect here?  Isn't this topic well covered at Emmylou Harris#The Hot Band? -MrFizyx (talk) 19:46, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably best unless the Hot Band had a notable career without Emmylou Harris. --Rodhullandemu (please reply here - contribs) 23:30, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have given consideration to adding any new information about the Hot Band to Emmylou's page instead. Probably smarter just because although the members of the Hot Band were a great talent pool-- Ricky Skaggs and Rodney Crowell alone are good examples-- unlike other backup bands like The Band or The Eagles, the Hot Band did not perform solo. --leahtwosaints 00:00, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this is a good choice, a similar example is the decision by editors to keep info on Alison Krauss's  band, Union Station, on the Alison Krauss page--even though the various members are notable enough to have their own pages. -MrFizyx 05:37, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

text: I emailed the woman who posted the partial YouTube interview, and she said, "Re your message on my 'Gram's Death / Hot Band' clip it is from a 2003 BBC documentary 'From A Deeper Well' I taped my copy off the TV at the time but it is readily available - this guy in Canada has it on his list at a charge of $10 -http://www.dw-musicvideos.com/videos.php
he's reliable - Ive dealt with him a bit." Obviously, I really don't want to buy the thing. There isn't a lot of information readily available on the Hot Band itself-- I think putting Hot Band info on Emmylou's page is probably best.  Anybody want to help? --leahtwosaints (talk) 12:47, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

text: I've redirected the page to The Hot Band, a disambiguation page to help users find the Emmylou Harris article, and another "Hot Band". -MrFizyx (talk) 15:26, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
