[edit] re:Gary Forrester

No, go ahead - I just tried to keep them the same as the original ( for example there was #10 that wasn't cited anywhere at all in the text - left it in just in case) since i'm not comfortable with the material. —Random832 19:32, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

actually when I look at it, it looks like that [11] might have gone with the [10] in the original ref list (which is now alone at the bottom with a bullet point) - you might see if that reference makes sense for that statement. hold on, i'll fix it —Random832 19:38, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] help

There's a gap on the USA tour, regarding the appearances at Avoca Iowa (which I take it was a very big deal at the time). I don't have anything except correspondence. Do you have any newspaper articles, magazines, whatever? I'd like to put in a specific reference about Avoca.--Jeshel.brown (talk) 03:44, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gary Forrester + piping

hi Samuel, piping's dead easy, it's just a way of linking things up so that you can direct to an article without the text having to link to it.

For example, if i wanted to write the sentence "Christgau said Coleman was a legend", but make the names redirect to Robert Christgau and Ornette Coleman, i could write [[Robert Christgau|Christgau]] and [[Ornette Coleman|Coleman]]. The article you want to redirect to goes first, then the pipe (|), then whatever text you want to appear on the actual page. Like so:

Christgau said Coleman was a legend.

With the Gary Forrester article, there were three countries linked up in a piped style, so it was displaying "USA" but linking to Australia! Hope this helps. Cheers, tomasz. 00:34, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bluegrass Unlimited

Erm, hi, and thanks for adding a note next to the Bluegrass Unlimited line at Gary Forrester.[1] But, um, where is this information from? If it's just personal knowledge, we can't use it. We need something that's actually been printed in a reliable source which calls the magazine a "bible", in order to say such a thing in a Wikipedia article. --Elonka 00:00, 25 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Thanks Elonka

As per your suggestions, I've added quite a bit of background on Bluegrass Unlimited in the footnotes. Hopefully this will suffice. It is the most influential magazine in bluegrass, and has been for many many years. Cheers, --Samuel.harding (talk) 01:50, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
