Talk:Kaki King

message: "King began to incorporate different instruments and sound effects into her album, such as looping and shoegazing"? Shoegazing isn't an instrument or a sound effect, it's a music scene from the UK in the late '80s/early '90s.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.143.57.10 (talk) 22:59, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: date of birth?

message: Since there is no dicussion of why this article isn't NPOV, and the article itself doesn't jump out at me as being so, I am taking the template off the main page.  Please post reasons for it on this talk page before re-adding it. --Jfruh (talk) 16:17, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  POV tag 

message: "Although she shares both similar playing techniques and a last name with guitarist Justin King, the two are not related."
I have removed this and added it to the talk page because I don't think that a lot of people are really wondering (You'd have to know who both of them are to be confused, and if you checked both Wiki pages then you would know.)WesUGAdawg (talk) 23:51, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Justin King 

message: I'm pretty sure that you should mention that she is a lesbian in her article, it seems as if it was once there and then was removed, a lot of the article makes more sense knowing she is one. 203.161.68.25 (talk) 04:07, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:   

message: I revisted this article after having some interest in it a few years ago, and was saddened to find that of the well-intended edits since that time, some were certainly not according to our own Manual of Style. We don't use our own Wikipedia on one article to be a "reference" for another Wikipedia article! We also don't use a link to a video alone in place of a reference, as that is also a copyright violation done that way. (We can and do use videos from You Tube that provide interviews, insight, but still must cite several items about the video.) We do not ever use any images that contain a copyright symbol on them, and we favor a clear face shot of the musician in their infobox in a biography over any other "artistic" shot. With that being said, I set about making some changes. I'll return and happily work with any other editors who also are interested in editing here. :)  --Leahtwosaints (talk) 06:13, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: happy to work with you on this further; please understand that certain pictures posted or information provided were chosen by her and her label, i just set about the basic work of editing wiki accordingly. the initial reformat of the page was honestly a first draft which i intended to edit down after returning from vacation (now), but it looks like you guys went to work. lol. if you'd like a clearer shot of Katherine, I'll have one posted to commons immediately. also; several things were omitted, i will re-edit with links included. appreciate the help and the talk left on page;
( and let me be clear; i swear i just signed this page with the four ~'s lol)

replies: text:  E, to edit the Wikipedia, one either registers and gets a username, or an IP address appears when people sign their names. Not being a computer-educated person, I can't figure out why there is no name or IP address and date + time stamp on your messages. I would like to speak to you- please visit my talk page.  Next: Outside organizations are strongly discouraged from editing these articles, because this is an encyclopedia, not a promotional vehicle, and the artists and their labels and promotional staff A&R people do not follow our #1 rule of NPOV (Neutral Point of View). MySpace, Twitter, Facebook, and the like are not considered reliable sources, although in some cases, they may be used to back up another reference, or in some unusual circumstances. 50% of what I do when not editing the Wikipedia involves working with a record label and professional photographers- you may check my userpage for a partial list of over 500 photos of musicians for these articles. I had two excellent pics which were removed and do belong here showing King's instrumental versatility, which I'll bring back. One last thing: if you ever consider adding a photo anywhere in the Wikipedia, even if the photo belongs to you or the artist, NO photo can be displayed that still uses a copyright, except when there is no other existing photo anywhere, and it's involved. I can explain how we do upload photos if anyone is interested on my talk page. Thanks for being willing to work together though to improve the Wikipedia! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 03:13, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Please put souces for the article HERE 

message: Forgive me if you think I am being dense.  I am not a slouch musically, on guitar or other instruments, but the term "Russian seventh" baffles me.  
I'm not alone because I believe that the article calls for an explanation of what it means.  I haven't been able to so far, or I would edit it to include an explanation myself.
Can somebody explain or, at least, give a source for the term.
I suppose it could be another term to describe the same chord (?) that I think of when I think of some 7th chords, for example, dominant, major 7th, diminished, half-diminished, to name but four of many.

replies: text:  Will Clarify in the Article; sorry for confusion. Kaki has a technique of tuning her guitars and lap steel instruments as if they are semistrunnaya gitara (семиструнная гитара), or the russian version of a guitar (Russian Guitar). They call it "gypsy tuning." Its traditionally tuned to the Open G chord DGBDGBD. but she crams this into her acoustic guitar, only 6 strings. Technique is used for song Fortuna on her first album. We discuss it at the top of this wiki page, right below the clarification of her birthdate. Heres a breakdown on it for you if you need anything else. http://www.worldlingo.com/ma/enwiki/en/Russian_guitar

thread_title:  Russian sevenths are.... 

message: I noticed the page was lacking any updates past the release and tour for 'Junior' and also made no mention of the art show she put on in 2009 (definitely a notable event). I did my best to remedy this, however
I must admit I'm still getting the hang of Wikipedia's standards. My edits consist of adding the "Guitar Art Show" section and the "Traveling Freak Guitar Show" header under the 'recording career, etc' section. 
I wanted to add at least an image of Kaki's 'playing with pink noise' guitar from the art show to the former section (and possibly an image of one of the other pieces on display at the show), however I apparently do not yet have clearance to do so. If anyone is
interested in taking up the task, you can find plenty of copyright-free images in the resources I cited.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by CleverX (talk • contribs) 14:10, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some sorely needed updates 

message: Kaki has requested several times on her twitter that the older picture of her, while she still wore glasses (before getting lasik corrective surgery) no longer be used.  Please refrain from reverting the article to show that older picture.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.90.170.184 (talk) 23:01, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
