Talk:The Four Top (podcast)

Untitled

I am requesting that the following changes be made to my podcast's Wikipedia page. Thank you!

• In the introduction, please remove “and presented by Oregon Public Broadcasting” as this no longer applies. The podcast was previously presented by Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) but is now independent. This is supported by the “Disgorged” podcast source at the 38:19 mark (stating that the podcast originated with OPB) and at 39:08 (stating that it departed OPB in 2020). The Pamplin Media source further supports the timing of the podcast’s initial launch in 2016.
  •  Partly done I don't doubt the accuracy of the information, but is there an independent reliable source (e.g. news article, description of the podcast?) for the information related to OPD? With some podcasts, it's a little hard to be certain of the fact-check process, compared to traditional news sources. Will update the second ref mentioned above.

• In the introduction, please remove the phrase “and airs monthly on Mondays.” Please replace with “and airs weekly and seasonally.” This is supported by the Spotify feed, which is meant to supplement the current Apple Podcasts link.
  •  Done Spencer^T•C 05:58, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
• Under the Guests section, please add as the first sentence, “Martin Reyes, MW, the first Master of Wine of Mexican descent, began as cohost of the podcast in 2021.” This is supported by the following citation at the 37:08 mark.
  •  Not done Similar to the above, I don't doubt the accuracy of the information, but is there an independent reliable source (e.g. news article, description of the podcast?) for the information? I know it's not from the Top Four podcast itself, but it is from Reyes' personal interview on a podcast, rather than a third party independent source, which would be preferable. Spencer^T•C 05:58, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
• Under Guests, please add this text: Other guests have included Roxane Gay, Alpana Singh, Stephen Satterfield, Marcia Chatelain, Soleil Ho, Felix Salmon, Henry Wedler, Tammie Teclemariam, and Julia Coney.
  • I'm fine doing these, but I guess I have the question regarding inclusion criteria of which guests are listed and which are not? Given the number of episodes, I don't find it realistic to add everyone who has ever been on the podcast, but wanted to ask what your thoughts were. I can circle back to this.
• Please delete Reference #1, “The Four Top” NPR, from the infobox. It no longer applies and has also been deleted from the NPR site.
  •  Done Spencer^T•C 05:58, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
• Under Awards, please delete Reference #14. The original content has been deleted from the link and is now a blank page. Please replace it with the following references:
  •  Done Spencer^T•C 05:58, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
• I'd like to request for the undisclosed paid editing tag and the close connection tag to be removed from the top of the page, please. The freelancer I had hired didn’t know the guidelines for request edits. I've now disclosed my conflict of interest and have submitted this request. Thank you.
  •  Done Removed a vague non-neutral sounding phrase "thought leaders in food and beverage" but otherwise the article looks okay now. Spencer^T•C 05:58, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Fizzfan, I will work through some of these requests one by one, and leave comments below each bullet point for clarity. Best, Spencer^T•C 05:58, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

I believe I have addressed each comment. For those comments that I needed more information, please provide below this comment. When done, remove the "|A" from the {{request edit}} template to re-open the request. Spencer^T•C 05:58, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
