replies: text: I just couldn't help myself with this: Is the BBC really Sanders' own website? I mean the one that is listed above and speaks of The Swing Swindlers directed by Mart Sander? And how about the ? There are at least 2 books coming up at google written by the guy Z, the Terminal Letter ISBN 9949108659 and Mercator ISBN 9985600274. However, (I know it's a word to avoid) the article is written like a recommendation letter instead of anything from an encyclopedia. It would need some heavy clean up. --Termer 00:55, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: A message from Sanders' mom

message: I would like to state that I am the creator of this article and have absolutely no connection to, or have ever met Mr. Sander. Any fault with shoddy citations and lack of sources lies solely with me. I did, in fact, utilise Mart Sander's home page to gather information on him, but I resent the insinuation that I am a "minion" of Mr. Sander (or, Mart Sander himself) who created this page out of vanity. One only needs to check my IP to confirm that I am in Pennsylvania and not Estonia (I am, however, Estonian). Someone who knows Mr. Sander may have worked on this article after its creation, but it certainly wasn't the creator. ExRat 23:25, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No one "insinuated" that you are Sander.  User:Zsanderz edited the article.  I belive that Zsanderz is Sander or someone connected with him.  That is the editor who has caused the imposition of the conflict of interest tag.  Now, would you please add references to the sources that you used in finding information for this article?  -- Ssilvers 16:25, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

text: I think that's appropriate. The  tags have been there a while, with no reliable sources forthcoming. Marc Shepherd (talk) 23:01, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I tried to verify some of the claims this article makes for Mr Sander myself using the internet, but was unable to find any references there. Please add verifiable references for these claims as requested. Jack1956 14:44, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Can anyone find any refs for this article?  Is it notable per WP:MUS?  Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 15:00, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, they call Mart Sander, an internationally well-known musician and film personality. He is a champion of British music, a film director and composer, and has also published two novels. at http://www.divine-art.com. Also there is a ref for Swing Swindlers that Sander is the conductor of. --Termer (talk) 18:26, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Unreferenced changes

message: I am concerned about the copyright status of the three images in the article. The uploader claims to own the copyright, but at least one of them appears on Mr Sander's website, implying that he owns the rights. If a full free use rationale is not provided then I will nominate them for speedy deletion as copyright violations. Jack1956 (talk) 16:30, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Basically, if Sander owns all three photographs, he needs to place them in the public domain, or give them a license no worse than the GNU public license. Marc Shepherd (talk) 17:20, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

text: I believe that User:Zsanderz is Mart Sander. User:Zsanderz is the individual who uploaded the photographs. I obviously have no way of confirming this. If User:Zsanderz is Mart Sander, then it is quite likely that he does own the copyright to the photographs and it would not be in conflict with one appearing on his page and then being uploaded (by him) here. That is, of course, provided User:Zsanderz is Mart Sander. The photograph appearing at Postimees is simply attributed to erakogu, which means "private collection" in Estonian. Most likely Sander's. If Sander is the uploader and copyright holder, then he needs to state that he is User:Zsanderz in the liscensing. With that, I am uninterested in further trailing Mr. Sander around Wikipedia playing "gotcha". I am at fault when I initially created the article because of my lack of citations and reliance on Sander's website for the majority of information. That has hopefully been remedied for the bulk of the article. Cheers, hea õnn ja pihta hakkama. ExRat (talk) 06:36, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Images

message: Which order is it, actually? It doesn't seem to be the one in the article Order of Saint Stanislaus. It rather looks like one of those mentioned in International Order of Saint Stanislaus: There are three or four Orders of Saint Stanislaus today. These different Orders and Grandmasters do not recognize each other as legitimate successors or revivals of the Order of Saint-Stanislaus and none of them is recognized by the Polish government. If it is deemed important enough to mention, it should be also important enough to be clarified. --Oop (talk) 09:12, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems like BS to me - kind of like Grand Poobah.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 16:00, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  I can find no information about this order. It seems irrelevant, as there seems to be next to nothing about it on the internet. ExRat (talk) 21:01, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

message: I have removed the proposed deletion tag as it isn't warranted whatsoever. The subject meets notability in many respects: has been in films, on television, has recorded music, etc. He was the host of several Estonian television programmes and is well-known to the Estonian public.
