Copyright problems for Ralph Bucky Phillips

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the Ralph Bucky Phillips article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! Also, misleading edit summaries are frowned on. --Dhartung | Talk 19:29, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I accept that you edited in good faith, but 1) most of the stuff you added back in sounds like it comes from somewhere else ("a worker at a drilling company in Sheridan, N.Y., made a startling discovery"), 2) most of it is detail not of encyclopedic importance ("Just as they had suspected, it had been painted another color, green, Philips' favorite hue"), 3) I don't get the sense you were wroking from my version of the article if you think the words "obviously a dangerous man" or whatnot were in it, because they were not. [1] If you want to contribute to the article, a useful way to do so, and I encourage this, would be to get specific citations for the important details. I haven't added in the names of the troopers yet, for example. But most of the narrative in that version is really a) of low value, b) distracting and creates a "can't see the forest for the trees" effect. In this sort of article less is more. --Dhartung | Talk 20:22, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

No, I've checked, most of that still comes from the AMW write-up. We don't need any of it, in my opinion, though we can cite it as a source. AMW is in the business (yes, for profit) of lurid portrayals of crime sprees. We're not. ;-) --Dhartung | Talk 20:31, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

In regard to chromatic harmonica

Thanks for editing chromatic harmonica. The Pros and cons was originally there, back when it was still in harmonica. I just separated it from the harmonica ar6ticle, then sectioned it. Recently (after your edit), I also clarified it somewhat. As to the reference, the "different harp approach" is through some discussion over at Harp-L (with "G", mainly), and Dave Barrett's harmonica lesson class. the second approach is from franz Chmel instructional class, which you can find over his website as a PDF. Hope that clarifies things.George Leung 06:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
