Talk:Magic City Jazz Orchestra

message: I believe this article deserves to exist, as it documents a professional jazz orchestra which is on its way to becoming a full-time professional ensemble (a non-profit organization), recording with nationally and internationally known artists.  in addition, it is directed by Ray Reach, who is very prominent in jazz education and recording in the Southeast.  Also, members of the MCJO are notable musicians, such as Cleveland Eaton.
:Please add information on why this orchestra is notable to the article; you may wish to look at WP:MUSIC for Wikipedia's guidelines on notability.  You also need to include references to support the text (See WP:V and WP:CITE).  Thanks. Shell babelfish 02:06, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed the liner notes section from the main article, and placed them in the section below until this issue can be dealt with. The text says "(used by permission)", but Wikipedia has a formal procedure in place for such permissions, and I see no evidence that this was followed. Furthermore, I don't really thing the liner notes add anyhting to show notability of the band. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 19:33, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Removed liner notes

message: Just added verifyable third party reference to article, citing review by noted jazz critic Jack Bowers.  Allenstone (talk) 13:37, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the review excerpt, as such excerpts are generally frowned upon at Wikipedia as being to promotional in nature (or sometimes too critical). However, the link to the full review is fine, and a good example of a reliable source. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 19:32, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Added verifyable references 

message: Please explain how I may make this article more neutral.  I do believe that this orchestra is important, but I do not want the article to seem overtly promotional.  Thanks.  Allenstone (talk) 01:03, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please explain how I may make this article more neutral. 

message: I believe the claim that my article on the "Magic City Jazz Orchestra" is invalid.  The article simply states documented facts about the MCJO and makes no claims which are incorrect or potentially libelous.  The statements about the MCJO in the article are not "flashy" or "Hype", but merely simple statements of fact.  The group is young, but has a respectable mission of recording music by well-known but under-recorded (as leader) jazz artists, such as Lou Marini and Lew Soloff.  The fact that such well-known and respected artists such as Lew Soloff and Lou Marini record with the group should serve to validate the MCJO's notability.  Please help me make this article "more neutral."  Allenstone (talk) 16:37, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
