Most, if not all, of the article is written by Tony's son Dave. If anyone can verify the content indepedently, that would be a Good Thing. Rich Farmbrough, 19:20 14 January 2007 (GMT).

Tony Terran is one of the best known studio trumpet players of the 60's, 70's and 80's. It is commonly known among Los Angeles trumpet players that Mr. Terran played on I Love Lucy. When I met him in 1976, he was playing on a recording session for a local tv station with trumpet players Jack Fierman and Bill Peterson. Wikipedia has only a partial list of Mr. Terran's tv/movie credits. The complete list would be substantially longer. He is listed in the credits for the "Jonathan Livingston Segull" sountrack as well as the "Brass Choir" album produced by Ralph Carmichael (Light Records, 1971). The other credits listed by Dave Terran are consistent with the stature Tony Terran had among the select few musicians who record music in Los Angeles.--207.224.203.229 03:42, 29 January 2007 (UTC) Ron Appel

Rich, I am going to add more footnotes, references and external links to my dad's Wikipedia article to support the recording credits I refer to. Daveterran (talk) 19:21, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

I get my dad's residual reports for my dad's recordings, and that is the basis for the credits on this page. If anyone disagrees with the content on this page, please email me at daveterran@gmail.com and we can discuss it. Thanks. Daveterran (talk) 04:15, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Here and here confirm many of the artists. Rich Farmbrough, 20:09 14 January 2007 (GMT).

I am assuming that Anthony and Tony are one and the same. If Anthony is Dave's grandfather, then change the above appropriately. Rich Farmbrough, 20:32 14 January 2007 (GMT).

Anthony Terran and Tony Terran is the same person.--207.224.202.81 03:20, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I have replaced the picture of my dad playing for a cow. Daveterran (talk) 17:52, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

I am somewhat concerned

1. about the inclusion of The Beatles in Terran's "played with" list. When & where did that take place?
2. and in the "references" section I find "Blaine, Hal; Goggin, David (2010). Hal Blaine and the Wrecking Crew. Rebeats Press. p. 56." but when I look that up in my 1990 edition I find that there is no P.56, rather the pages between 55 and 57 is the picture section. Who is who in the photographs is pretty well labeled though there are a few group pictures, one being "John Denver's Traveling road band in the mid-1970s", but I guess I'd like some clarification on these points. Thanks, Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 00:45, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

   Hi Einar. My dad (Tony Terran) did a session in Hollywood where most or all the members of the Beatles were in the control room and he got their autographs. After further research, I have determined that session was actually for Harry Nilsson recording the Pussy Cats album at Burbank Studios in the spring of 1974 - after the Beatles broke up. This album was produced by John Lennon, and Ringo Starr played drums. Paul McCartney was also in attendance for the session. I have removed "The Beatles" from my dad's article and have replaced it with Harry Nilsson. Regarding the Wrecking Crew, the book and movie about the Wrecking Crew has my dad in the credits, and the Guitar Center in Hollywood has my dad's name listed on the Wrecking Crew plaque.

An editor by the name of Binksternet continues to delete facts that I add to this article. I make occasional edits based on royalty statements I receive based on the recordings my dad (Tony Terran) played on. Can someone tell me how this is a conflict of interest? I can prove that my dad played on these recordings through official musician union residual reports and union contracts. Fans all over the world ask me whether my dad played on certain film and television soundtracks, songs, etc., and that's the main reason I try to keep this article updated. This random editor (Binksternet) thinks he knows the facts of my dad's career when I am the one who gets the official documentation about these recordings, and I have actually been in attendance at some of these legendary recording sessions? It's just ridiculous when editors can't respect legitimate sources. This guy has not only reverted updates I have made, but he has also deleted some legitimate sourcing other editors have made to this article. This editor has also done this to many other authors of articles without justification. Please help me to know how to deal with this power tripping behavior. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daveterran (talk • contribs) 03:25, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

user:Binksternet is not a random editor. He's a very experienced editor. As for the issue of your conflict of interest, you are editing an article about your father. That is a conflict of interest, as the WP:COI page you were pointed to on your talk page clearly explains. Please propose you changes on this on this talk page so that they can be discussed by other editors. You were also pointed to WP:PRIMARYSOURCE and WP:Original research. And I'll add WP:NPA. Don't comment on other editors. Meters (talk) 05:30, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

I am now focusing on updating my dad's television and film credits on the IMDb website. I would like to have his IMDb website page added to my dad's personal website page in the Background Information section in the upper right part of the Tony Terran wikipedia article. The URL is: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4532933/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_1_nm_7_in_0_q_Tony%2520Terran. I appreciate your time and consideration. Daveterran (talk) 03:05, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

His personal website is already linked and the imdb link wouldn't go in that field since it's not his official personal website. His imdb page is already linked, in the EL section. GA-RT-22 (talk) 12:33, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

I see that. Thanks. Daveterran (talk) 02:31, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

IMDb fails WP:USERG because anybody can log in and change the facts. Per WP:IMDB, we cannot cite IMDb to support article facts. The most we can do is add it near the bottom as an external link. Binksternet (talk) 12:44, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

That is not true about IMDb. There are editors on staff that check and approve content. Daveterran (talk) 02:32, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia's guideline says we can't cite IMDb. See WP:IMDB. That's the end of it. Binksternet (talk) 03:03, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
