February 2017 edit

  Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:The Bold Fisherman, from its old location at User:Joe Fogey/The Bold Fisherman. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I've been doing 03:13, 18 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

A page you started (Walter Pardon) has been reviewed! edit

Thanks for creating Walter Pardon, Joe Fogey!

Wikipedia editor Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Nice article. But some of those sources are not reliable; YouTube, etc. Suggest make more use of ODNB article, which is gold dust, rather than leave it languishing in the EL section where it can't do any good.

Thank you! ツ edit

Dear fellow editor;  
Thank you very much for adding an external link to the article on Matty Groves today, for Jean Ritchie's recording of the song for Alan Lomax in 1949. When you next visit the article, you will see that I have included this recording into the table, and also created a complete citation for it in the Notes column, so that the full citation now appears in the References section.
With your permission, I would therefore like to remove the link you added into the External links section, unless you would prefer it stayed there instead of in the table, in which case, please feel free simply to revert/undo my latest edit.
Thank you once again for contributing this interesting, historical recording of the song.
With kind regards;
Patrick. ツ Pdebee.(talk)(guestbook) 15:55, 3 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Patrick.
I'm not sure how to reply to your message, so please let me know if you've read this. I find some aspects of Wikipedia puzzling.
Thanks for your message and your comment. I don't mind you including the Jean Ritchie version in your table, though I think field recordings should be shown as distinct from commercial recordings - they are part of a different activity and serve a different purpose. Perhaps a separate table? I'll probably enter some other field recordings when I find them. I think too that it might be useful to other editors and to readers to draw attention to on-line archives such as the Cultural Equity resource and the British Library Sound Archive It seems barmy to me to list dozens of versions of a song on commercial recordings when the process of academic study of folk song is concerned with collected versions and field recordings.
All the best! Joe Fogey (talk) 20:41, 3 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
Dear Joe,  
Thank you for your reply, which I could see thanks to having entered my initial post, which automatically entered your talk page into my watchlist. So, when you posted your reply above, I could see it as a new edit. Also, you will notice that your reply is now indented, which I did by applying a single colon before each of your paragraphs; for my present reply, I am applying two colons, which will indent my text by one level again. This is explained in WP:THREAD.
I fully agree with your idea to have a separate section for field recordings, and I am therefore going to relocate the content of my recent edit there. When you have found more of them, then I can create a table for you if you wish; feel free to contact me when you're ready and we can synchronize our efforts at that time.
You make a cogent point about the distinction between field and commercial recordings, and our new section will accommodate the former with greater equanimity, and for the benefit of all our readers, whatever their level of interest.
I will update the present post in a minute, after creating the new section.   Done
With kind regards for now;
Patrick. ツ Pdebee.(talk)(guestbook) 21:28, 3 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
PS: I will now copy the above exchange into the article's talk page, for accountability to other interested editors.

OK, thanks, Patrick. Joe Fogey (talk) 21:57, 3 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

It's all done, Joe. Now that we actually have the new section you proposed, do you still see the need for your original entry to stay in the 'External links' section? Or would you be happy to remove it, now that I also created a full citation for your source? Thank you, Joe.
With kind regards;
Patrick. ツ Pdebee.(talk)(guestbook) 22:15, 3 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Offering assistance about 'Bare URLs' edit

Dear Joe,  
I took the liberty of converting your external link to the 'Broadside Ballads Online' search page, from a bare URL, as explained in Wikipedia:Bare URLs, which I would suggest you take a few minutes to read, at your convenience.
I can see you're adding more bare URLs in the prose itself, and I could convert these also. However, it's probably best if you learn how to do this yourself, using the same method I applied for the link for 'Broadside Ballads Online' a few minutes ago; it's an easy enough task and it really is best not to leave bare URLs in articles.
I hope you didn't mind this piece of unsolicited advice too much, but I'll leave you in peace now.  
Please keep well, and thank you for your very interesting contributions on the subject. Let me know if I can help some more.
With kind regards;
Patrick. ツ Pdebee.(talk)(guestbook) 22:51, 3 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

No worries, Patrick. Editing is a complicated process, clearly, and my intention is to improve things. I can use all the help I can get. Thanks for your help. Joe Fogey (talk) 23:01, 3 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited William Taylor (folk song), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Broadsides and Voice of the People. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
