Comment on potential sources for Will Osborne (singer)

edit

I just read your post on the Osborne article's talk page, and one sentence caught my attendion: "Unfortunately though, to recreate this page accurately would require relying on source material that perhaps many editors & authors across Wikipedia will probably look down upon, that being contemporary trade magazine and newspaper sources."

I encourage you to use such sources. Most of my work on Wikipedia is on actors, actresses, radio, and TV from years gone by. I regularly use newspaper articles from The New York Times, publications at Newspapers.com and articles from trade publications (primarily Billboard, Broadcasting, and Variety.

I just wanted to express my support for your approach. Eddie Blick (talk) 00:19, 17 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for replying. I'll get on working on this over the summer. I use all of those sources you listed along with plenty of others quite regularly. I've seen your contributions to this article before, and it was some of them that got me inspired enough to look into Will to begin with back in 2019.
One thing I've asked myself over and over though through the years, is if it would be right to note in a sentence or so of the existence of this book I'm making. There is one credible source of big band swing authority that has mentioned it, however their information on it is nearly three years out of date, that being the original release date of 2021 or early 2022. I'd completely understand it however if even mentioning this would be the wrong move. The last thing I would want to do here is "cringe-ify" and advertise on the internet's most sacred and important encyclopedic project. Maybe an addition to an External Link? Or something else? I'm just cautiously curious is all.

I don't know the answer to the question about mentioning your book. I don't have any source of my own like that, so I have never looked into that situation.
I appreciate your cautious approach to Wikipedia. I wish more editors felt as you do. Too many of them add content with no regard for credibility of sources (or even existence of sources). Eddie Blick (talk) 20:00, 25 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
They truly damage the overall credibility of this essential--yet universally ostracized hypocritically--encyclopedia whether purposefully or indirectly. CDPorter (talk) 16:36, 2 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
