thread_title: Early Discussion

message: In the early 1970s, after years of involvement with Eastern religion, Coltrane took the name Swami Turyasangitananda.
This being the case, shouldn't 1) the page's name, 2) the picture caption and 3) the in-text reference reflect it?
Of course, there's the possibility that Alice Coltrane is maintained as her name as an artist and performer, in which case, fine my be - but even then, shouldn't there be an indication in the intro, of what her real name is (similar to the way that people known for their monickers rather than real names have an indication of their real name following their monicker in bold)?

replies: text: That seems dubious to me. I never heard that. Maybe it's an honorific or something. See here, for instance, which says nothing about that name. Every Google hit for that name is a Wikipedia derivative. —Chowbok 20:34, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Aha! Yes, you are right. That brings up a lot of confirmations. I will change the article to reflect that. —Chowbok 14:56, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi there, I noticed that the  template was removed. May I ask why? Is it inappropriate considering that Coltrane was a follower? Regards, Ekantik talk 16:34, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Nice job with this article--it's pretty great.  Maybe we could make it better by improving the Impact section, though--it's just a list of a few random references to her outside of jazz, without any evaluation of her impact.  If anyone wants to describe her critical reception, influence on younger players, or something like that we could really improve things.Tdimhcs (talk) 06:28, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Impact section 

message: This sentence in the first paragraph is not neutral, nor is it supported by the citation (which is merely a link to a discography):
"Her essential recordings were made in the late 1960s and early 1970s for Impulse! Records."
Specifically, I take issue with the use of the word "essential." Of course, without this word, there is no need or purpose for this sentence in the article at all. I propose that this sentence be removed altogether.  Pjdjr (talk) 02:25, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
