Talk:John Bassette

message: I was at John's house on Hessler St. when he was laying out the album cover for Another Alternative. Are you sure TinkerToo wasn't still operating out of there when the album came out? Rosencomet 18:52, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello
I'm having trouble editing the link "Jim Ballard" on the John Bassette page. The hyperlink takes one to the Jim Ballard of Mount Union football fame, not the performer and producer meant to be featured on this page. That Jim Ballard has a website who's URL is www.jimballardmusic.net If anyone knows how to edit that link properly, please do so. Thanks JRBAL (Jrbal 16:42, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  John Bassette history link 

message: I played the Hessler Street fair back around '77 or so, and John was there of course. If memory serves (sometimes it doesn't), he had an EP out around that time entitled "The Sleeping Poet," but I didn't see that on the discography list. Does anyone have the date or details for this?

message: John Bassette was the most popular native folk singer in Cleveland during his career. He was a published author, and a local cable television personality when there were hardly any such things. Of course he hasn't had a lot of google hits, since a series of strokes ended his career all too soon in the early nineties. You might get better results, though, with a search on John Bassette folk or John Bassette music. In any event, risking accusations of not AGF, anyone who is familiar with our history would wonder whether Mattisse's tag is not more about the fact that I created the article than about the subject. Out of 68 articles I've created, over 45 either have tags by Mattisse (or one of her sock-puppets), or did on a deleted version before recreation. Over 20 have tags placed within the last 8 weeks. I've edited over 150 articles, many if not most of which also have Mattisse or sock-puppet's tags. Rosencomet (talk) 00:01, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed the Notability tag, a bit early -- no response was made by the tagger or anyone else in support of the tag -- and in light of the additions I have made to the entry, which include citations from a university-press book and a major newspaper which address Bassette's significance.

message: Template:COI/doc states pretty clearly "The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies." As this hasn't been done I'm removing the template. NE Ent 18:17, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
