Talk:Jon Gibson (Christian musician)

message: I do most of Hammer's article and did a large part of Gibson's awhile back (extremely familiar with both artists), and may continue to expand it eventually. It was the concensus that Hammer has periods in M.C. per album covers, etc. I have been going to related articles changing them. There is a talk page discussion about it on his page. We have also discussed merging or changing the article title and search/link to M.C. which is correct, not MC. Thanks, but you didn't give me the benefit of the doubt with my good faith edit nor did you discuss it as I'm doing now. Good day! P.S. M.C. works too. It goes to his page without affecting the "link". I wasn't trying to correct it, I'm more concerned about being accurate/factual, not right. 63.131.4.149 (talk) 08:49, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Take it up with Wikipedia. The article doesn't contain the periods. The one with the periods is a redirect to the one without. If you want it to have periods, pipe it. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 08:54, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Bold are the differences. They are otherwise identical and as far as WP:V and WP:R go, are the same document.
* CD Baby's starts "For the last two decades" while Soul Tracks starts "For nearly three decades".
* CD baby "moved him to the head of Contemporary Christian artists" Soul Track "moved him to the A-List of Contemporary Christian artists"
* CD baby "urban-sounding disc made with master producer Tommy Sims. The album didn't fare well" Soul Tracks "urban-sounding album made with master producer Tommy Sims. It didn't fare well".

message: Please don't be "revert happy". Consider the context of all changes and by all means READ sources and sections before just undoing good edits. It's wrong and unproductive! It's lazy to undo quick fixes and appropriate updates/changes... FYI. 99.129.112.89 (talk) 12:43, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

All of the edits made to the article were legitimate and sourced. The new information is appropriate as is the revised additions. In fact, if you took time to view them all and not use "twinkle" then you'd see that the current way the article is has errors (such as "Love Comes Down" is "Love Come Down" and "This Wall" is actually "The Wall", fixed/updated links to other articles, etc.)! Adding information such as his first interaction with Wonder makes sense instead of a paragraph that claims they reunited when it's never even mentioned they collaborated before until the edits made that you undid. I don't want to get in an edit war so I didn't "undo" it but you're absolutely wrong and do not own the article. The personal life info is cited and allowed within the article. The only thing that can stick is No. 1 not #/Number 1 (most likely done in error). Please check all the edits carefully (don't be lazy and ignore/discredit edits without doing verification first) and see that they comply with Wiki and therefore should remain. I see you have a history of doing this and it's not appreciated. Thanks and good day! P.S. I may not be back on to reply or defend myself. You just need to do the right thing and accept the changes/updates not revert them all (without explanation) to a "stable status" which is not correct such as punctuation errors within the listing of the songs/albums at the end of the article. Please pay attention and don't sabotage/suppress "good faith" contributions! https://www.amazon.com/Change-Heart-Jon-Gibson/dp/B0048ZKXQ4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517142124&sr=8-1&keywords=change+of+heart+jon+gibsonhttp://www.jongibson.com/story.html 2602:304:CEED:E550:2142:3FC8:DC76:4D71 (talk) 10:04, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unproductive/unnecessary/unwarranted reverts by Walter Gorlitz 

message: This article has come a long way over time since the original creation of it but I would still like to eventually include additional notable collaborations/influences contained within this early contribution (ie. John P. Kee + Rick James, Ray Charles, etc.):  as well as more recent ones (ie. Gibson serving as the house band for Prince, etc.) when I have more acceptable sources. For now, i'm taking a long break from this article and hope in time the notices/headers/templates can be removed (at least some of them). I may not return until his new album is released. I also think adding jazz, funk, pop and/or rap genres is acceptable based on album content and some sources I've read categorizing them as such (ie. urban). Not important. No response needed for this. Just a reminder for myself in the future. 2600:1702:1690:E10:1CC6:9EDD:42E:91BF (talk) 06:18, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: For the record, the song was always "The Wall" but was typed wrong by mistake. As with allot of other contributions i made in the past, meddling editors came to this article on purpose bent to ruin it by deleting/changing content and adding false templates resulting in poor quality, misspellings, missing sources and info being out of context/order. It made it sloppy due to their arrogance and ignorance. It's why people get upset on here when they have to redo things and prove themselves yet other articles have NO sources at all. This type of double-standards is epic on Wikipedia but tell anyone and they just dismiss complaints as being disruptive. The only common factor is humans making errors but not accepting blame. It is what it is but doesn't make it right. Moving forward... 2600:1702:1690:E10:5800:576:9EC4:80DC (talk) 19:49, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
