[edit] Foreword

It seems to me that the Foreword section belongs in Wikisource, not here. --66.167.56.33 04:31, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

Someone created an article titled Real Book Errata that seems to have some useful information, but I think it should be part of this article. Opinions? Aguerriero (talk) 19:15, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Jagalactic 19:21, 20 May 2006 (UTC) I created the Real Book Errata page from notes I have been making while using the new HL books with the old illegal ones. My original reason for making it separate is that it might become fairly long. I don't object to merging it into the Real Book article if others think that's where it belongs.

Kevmac1 06:07, 17 June 2006 (UTC) Merging this article into the main one makes sense to me. It may be a bit long, but I can see it being appended to the very end of the main article with little trouble.

  • Ya' know, that Errata article won't fly if anyone in a mood to delete articles runs across it. The level of detail is unencyclopedic, or something like that. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 06:21, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. The pertinent errors and differences between volumes should probably be distilled and merged into the main article (by someone who owns both versions, which I don't). Cribcage 23:56, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I am going to make it part of Wikibooks. That way it will work. 154.5.47.4 08:33, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

This article reads almost like an advertisement for Real Book. Is that appropriate?

Ok, so the merger has been debated for several, SEVERAL months now. What is the verdict? Are we going to merge or not? I also agree with the fact that it seems to sound like an advertisement. Sogospelman 10:33, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blake Milton thing

Seems to me that whole paragraph is an ad for a commercial product. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 04:54, 1 July 2007 (UTC)


Hey Josh,

No more than the same information related to other recent versions like free online PDF's, Hal Leonard, Sher Publishing. Referneces to commercial products are not out of bounds. This is a valid entry covering the recent developments in the illustrious history of this unigue collection of songs. BlazeFelton 01:36, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

  • That's nice. It's also a direct link to an advertisement. If you want to remove other direct links to advertisements, please do so. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 02:45, 22 July 2007 (UTC)


I agree with jpgordon, something's fishy about that. 24.107.57.112 (talk) 02:13, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
