Eric Clapton edit
Hey there. You are a good article contributor, the sentence which has been in Clapton's article for some time...
...'Clapton has been viewed by critics and fans alike as one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time.(100 Greatest Artists of All Time: Eric Clapton Rolling Stone) (Meisel, Perry The myth of popular culture from Dante to Dylan), Eric Clapton: Blues guitar legend BBC News)
....The user The Artist AKA Mr Anonymous has removed this for the following reason.. "Miesel is an English prof, not a recognized authority on electric guitarists, sub headlines are not RSs unless designate as a sub headline. no citation for RS immortals position".
I'm not suggesting the user has something against Clapton and is biased in any way, what i'm asking is what is wrong with that sentence?? Would the sentence.. Clapton has been referred to as one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time... be more suited?? I dont get "no citation for RS immortals position"... the user previously removed a sentence because of "rm content of which citations say nothing about EC being "one of the most influential guitarist of all time"... the Rolling Stone citation where Steven Van Zandt from the E street band with his view on Clapton states exactly that. I have looked at other guitarists and for instance, Stevie Ray Vaughan's influence with a Rolling Stone citation. Raymond A. Horn PHD is used in Jimi Hendrix page The Praeger handbook of education and psychology, Volume 4 ...so an English professor (Perry Meisel) at New York University who has written on rock n roll is not ok, but a psychologist (Horn) is?. A mention of some of the cites on Clapton.. (Bob Gulla (2009), Guitar Gods : The 25 Players Who Made Rock History) (Basix Guitar Method) (Rock music journalist, writer John Tobler Rock 'n' roll: the first 25 years) As a good article contributor can you solve this please?--NicholasJr7 (talk) 06:52, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
- I have just popped back to the article and made an adjustment back to the consensus again. I also note that AKA was blocked for editing warring. I like Eric Clapton, and would be interested at some point in editing that article some more - but perhaps not right now. Do give a ping if there are more problems on the article. And thanks for the initial note - good to see that people are concerned about appropriate editing. SilkTork *YES! 17:11, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
