Brief biographical page begun

edit

I started this brief bio of a blues musician and hope that others will add to it. There are several partial discographies online, should anyone wish to pursue the data. Good luck to all! cat yronwode Catherineyronwode (talk) 00:33, 29 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia is funny

edit

I got a call from Jackie today. He is about to release a new CD, so i thought about updating this page, came here to check on it, and found out that Jackie's own official bio site was removed as a reference source and cited as "unreliable" by some Wikipedia editor or other. I am reinstating the source because it's his own official "Shades of Blues" web site. My company hosts the site for Jackie and has done so for more than 15 years, as his schedule and career do not allow him to host his own domain. cat yronwode, not logged in. 75.101.104.17 (talk) 18:20, 23 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Mmmm. I just researched to see which Wikipedia editor deleted Jackie's official bio page as "unreliable" and found out that it was a one-purpose throw-away username -- "Payneisapayne" ("Payne is a payne/pain") -- obviously a personal grudge-edit by someone with an axe to grind. The user's ONLY contribution to Wikipedia was to delete the link to Jackie's site. So that explains that. cat, still not logged in 75.101.104.17 (talk) 20:30, 23 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
