Talk:Russ Taff

message: The existing stub needs a complete rewrite. It is completely subjective. There is nothing encyclopedic about it. Beyodnd that, the article could be expanded considerably.
*Sorry, I've been in the process of moving, and this article got away from me.  I trust it is back to a better tone.  And yes, it needs expansion -- any takers? 1diot 03:57, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I'm pretty sure I've had this discussion several times. I saw him live with the Imperials and he only sang. Saw him twice after he went solo and he only sang. Credits from Walls of Glass, Medals, Russ Taff, We Will Stand and Right Here Right Now do not list him on guitar although he holds a Strat on the back cover of Medals. Winds of Change lists him on acoustic guitar and although he holds a semi hollow body Gretsch on back tray insert of the album. So While Taff has at least one credit where he is listed playing guitar, the documentation clearly states "Instruments listed in the infobox should be limited to only those that the artist is primarily known for using" (emphasis min). So yes, he plays guitar, but he is know primarily as a vocalist, not a guitarist. Please stop adding guitar as an instrument as it violates the documentation. If there are reliable sources that call him a vocalist and guitarist, please provide them and there will be no argument. Again, stop implying that I'm ignorant and don't know anything about the subject because that is simply a lie, and respect :WP:NPA, :WP:V and the template's purpose.
