Any idea how long it takes for a copyright permission to get approved?  I submitted it 24 hours ago.  I just want to make sure that none of the submissions I made have been deleted permanently while awaiting the approval.

thread_title: Not a dictionary

message: per 70.24. ... , in ictu oculi, and andrewa, retaining the disambiguation page. Per Tony1 and Powers, moving the band from primary topic. 
:The Cascades →  – I propose making "The Cascades" a redirect to "Cascade Range".  I surmise that most people who search for "The Cascades" are looking for the mountain range and not the band, the page views certainly suggest that. Hoops gza (talk) 23:38, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Requested move 

message: The musicians mentioned are Hal Blaine (drums), Carol Kaye (bass guitar) and Glen Campbell (guitar), all of whom were members of the Wrecking Crew, but the song prominently features a celesta throughout, as well as a solo played on what sounds like some kind of electronic organ. With instrumentation by the Wrecking Crew, I'd imagine it would be Leon Russell, Al De Lory, Don Randi, Mike Melvoin, Michel Rubini or maybe an unknown keyboardist. Maybe if someone could find a reliable source, wouldn't it be a good idea to edit the article so that it mentions who it was?--2601:153:800:8308:3813:9EF8:FA5A:C703 (talk) 06:50, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm pretty sure it was Leon Russell, because he was the principal keyboardist of that band. It may be original research, but the whole list appears to be unsourced, so I'm just gonna go ahead and make that change.--2601:153:900:43F0:4030:5257:78E8:CB2E (talk) 04:15, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The main source is here - now added to the article - which does not mention Russell.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:30, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Referring to the source, it looks like it's never been confirmed who it was. It could have been anyone from Guommoe (ostensibly a multi-instrumentalist) to Szabo (regular Cascades keyboardist) to Botkin (the song's arranger) so, I'd imagine it was likely one of those three (presumably Szabo) and to save you and everyone else from saying it, that claim is original research on my part, which I know can't be added to Wikipedia. But yes, it looks like it's never been confirmed who it was.--2601:153:900:43F0:4030:5257:78E8:CB2E (talk) 13:16, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: This is what Gummoe says: "Barry De Vorzon... brought our demo to Perry Botkin Jr. for a truly incredible arrangement. Perry's celeste figures in "Rhythm of the Rain" were so catchy and gave my song a real identity. Barry then took us into the legendary Gold Star Studios, along with the best studio cats that Hollywood had to offer and produced what we all know now to be one of the greatest classic pop sounds of Pre-Beatles pop/rock." (source).  That doesn't quite say that Botkin played celesta on the final record, but very nearly does.  This source says: "Soon there would be a truly classic Botkin moment in this type of vocal music on the Cascades' hit "Rhythm of the Rain," nothing other than the unforgettably charmingly chiming celeste part..."

text: PS: Botkin himself seems to claim to be only the arranger, not the performer - here.   But, you could ask him!  (Or here).  Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:46, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

message: The entry for this song in the RPM charts indicates this release is by a Canadian band, not a US band. Note the MAPL icon.  AMCKen (talk) 02:14, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
