Talk:Hawaii Symphony

message: The Honolulu Symphony is NOT the official orchestra of the City and County of Honolulu. You are confused with The Royal Hawaiian Band.
The writer of the above comment is correct; the Honolulu Symphony is NOT the official orchestra of the City and County of Honolulu. The Royal Hawaiian Band, founded by Henri Berger, is the official wind band of the City and County of Honolulu. Berger did not found the Honolulu Symphony; a group of music lovers (The Honolulu Symphony Society) founded it in 1902. The Honolulu Symphony has claimed for many years that is was established in 1900. There is no evidence of this in newspapers or other primary sources around 1900. -- Dale E. Hall, author of "The Honolulu Symphony: A Century of Music," (Honolulu: Goodale Publishing Company, 2002), 224pp.Friendly 372 01:36, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Not the official orchestra

message: I found your edit to the Honolulu Symphony very intriguing, but considerably out of place. First of all, you have pasted the quoted article into the References section, where it certainly doesn't belong. If it is relevant to the article, it should be in the article, and the reference (the citation) should be in the References section.
However, more troublesome is that this is a quote from five years ago. The question is: is this an historical curiosity, or is this an ongoing problem? Are claims of sexual harassment still current? Are they affecting the current state of the orchestra - perhaps weakening the hand of the union in the collective bargaining process? Do you have any newer information on these claims (have they been settled)? You need a reference - your personal knowledge is not enough.
Since the HSO is an organization of living people, and Jason Pell's family are living people, the Wikipedia rules regarding biographies of living persons applies. This means we apply a very high standard of documentation before including any information that could be construed as defamatory. Therefore, it behooves us to delete this posthaste.
The quote as it currently appears needs to go. If we can find something relevant and current to use in its stead, that would be excellent.
You can respond to this on your own talkpage. Regards, --Ravpapa (talk) 16:58, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
