Talk:Muckle Flugga

message: I suggest that Muckle Flugga lighthouse be merged into this article.  Both are short articles and there is much overlap in subject matter and detail anyway. Robotman1974 01:00, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nearly two weeks have gone by since I proposed the merge and no one has objected, so I've rewritten the main article to include the information that was formerly at Muckle Flugga lighthouse.  I ask other editors to please check that I haven't left anything out or gotten anything wrong. Robotman1974 09:31, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge

message: CarterBar, I originally removed the text stating "It is often described as the northernmost point of the British Isles, but the smaller islet of Out Stack is actually further north." but you've put it back in stating it is not a non-fact.  I do not see why this is in the lead - it does nothing but say It is not the most northernmost point.  Is it notable that people are wrong?  Can a reference be provided for this piece of incorrect trivia?  I await your response.  --Bardcom (talk) 11:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I know what you're getting here, and it's a reasonable remark. However, if you do a Google search for "Muckle Flugga" and "Isles" (I know, it's not scientific) the very first result makes the incorrect assertion. On the first page of listings there are several other (non-Wikii mirror sites) that make the same assertion. So, it appears that this is a common mistake, and I think it makes sense to include it here. Yes, it's a non-fact in itself, but the high number of instances of the mistake is a fact. The article clarifies the situation for anyone thinking that is is the northernmost point - and that's useful to such people. CarterBar (talk) 17:58, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I agree.  It does appear to be a common mistake.  Perhaps it might also be relevant to mention that Muckle Flugga is the most northerly inhabited point too?  --Bardcom (talk) 19:37, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: From article: "After her passing it was reported in major media that she had been born on June 1, 1935, but her relatives and public records confirm the earlier date of June 1, 1925." The public records include the 1930 census which states that Hazel was then 5 years old. As of 2016, the Library of Congress Authority File record for Dickens shows her birth year as 1925. Photographs of her gravesite also show her birth date as 1925. NOLA1982 (talk) 01:11, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

message: The article states: "In 1972, The Dillards joined Elton John on his first American tour.[1]"
Well, The Dillards may have toured with Elton John in 1972, but I saw Elton in Denver in May, 1971, and I am pretty sure this was his second tour of the US, so this information about 1972 is wrong.  Anyhow, Go Dillards!  66.58.134.5 (talk) 23:16, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

message: I removed the link for Steve Cooley.  The link went to a politician with the same name but as far as I can tell, no relation to the musician.  - Buck49  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:30A:2C66:8960:C33:D0A8:367E:28A8 (talk) 05:24, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Steve Cooley 

message: There are places on this page that are very poorly written, using unclear language that ultimately has no meaning and leaves the reader wondering what is actually meant.  An example is: "Clark says Songs That Make Me Cry is the only one currently available with real performances and has the three songs which included Maggie Peterson, who played Charlene. Back Porch Bluegrass: Live Almost includes five songs that were sung on the show, and Rodney Dillard released another album with the real performances of other songs."
In these sentences, the word "real" makes no sense.  "Real" in what way?  As opposed to fake performances?  What is a "real" performance?  Does the writer mean that these were the actual performances as used in the TV show?  If so, then say that.  I read the website that was cited as the source, and NOWHERE on that site is the word "real" used in reference to any recordings, so I cannot figure out why anyone would choose a meaningless word like that.
I have absolutely no knowledge of the Dillards or of the music used in the Andy Griffith Show, so I do not feel qualified to rewrite anything here. If someone who has this knowledge -- and can write in a manner that is clear and accurate -- could rewrite the unclear sections of this page, it would be greatly appreciated.2605:6000:E8C3:EE00:5421:A1D8:596F:F1B7 (talk) 11:36, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Tony Furtado

message: I do hope I am doing this correctly -- I've never added anything to Wikipedia before, although I've thought about!  So I'm just learning all of the guidelines.
I signed up because there were two things in this article on Tony Furtado that bothered me.  The first is really rather a minor detail -- it says that "At the ripe age of 19, Furtado had already earned himself a reputation ... winning two National Bluegrass Banjo Championships."  Just basic math will tell you this is incorrect: he was 20 when he one the FIRST of his Championships, 24 when he won the second (unless his birth date is reported incorrectly!).  I realize that's picky -- but it's the sort of detail that makes one distrust a site.
The second thing is, I fear, much more serious.  There are two paragraphs under Recording and Performance, beginning with "If you’ve followed Tony Furtado’s prolific music career at all you won’t be surprised to know that his 15th album..." and ending with "... And while his award-winning playing and unforgettable leads are present throughout, it is his vocal presence, diverse arrangements and songwriting that take center stage on Golden."
Word for word, those two paragraphs are on Tony Furtado's website -- I can't say where they originally began, but someone is copying someone without any citation or links!  I'm pretty sure this is a copyright violation on someone's part.
I'm not at all sure what to do with this information -- so am posting here and will continue to explore the guidelines.

message: I tried to make the paragraph about the their work together read a little bit better. I know that The Pizza Tapes is not a Dead album. The way I had it did not even come close to suggesting that it was. But I will gladly differ if I am wrong.Moorematthews 16:00, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't really mind your reording the titles.  My problem is that Grisman didn't just "appear on" The Pizza Tapes.  He got Garcia and Rice together, produced it, and eventually released it under his own record label.  Can we find a wording that is more cosistient with that? -MrFizyx 18:23, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

message: 1. The article does a decent job at discussing Clyde Moody's time with the Blue Grass Boys. The information given about him playing mandolin on occasion was good factual information. 
The article could use some more cited sources for the information that was in the article. There could also be more information about Clyde Moody's life/career before and after the Blue Grass Boys, as well as more reputable sources to dig the information from. 
This article also could be structured better, with everything being sorted into specific sections, i.e. career, home life, etc. His nephew was mentioned so maybe some more information should be added about the two playing music together, like what they did/accomplished.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by StringBassPlaya (talk • contribs) 17:26, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

message: Hello. I've noticed many times that someone has changed Keith Whitley's given name at birth back to Jessie Keith Whitley, as well as his date of birth back to July 1, 1955. I would kindly like to settle this once and for all by saying that, despite what numerous publications and texts may say, neither of the info is correct, and that Jackie Keith Whitley and July 1, 1954 are indeed the correct info. Only his biological son is named Jesse Keith Whitley (his first name has no i). To prove my point, I would like to present you a YouTube link  -  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3mptQi9k-A  -  which plays a fan-made Keith Whitley video. In the video's info box, the user name who uploaded it explains the goof-up, and even welcomes anyone to send a message to the user's account if they want a digital copy of Keith's original birth announcement.
