Trying to add a musician credit
editMy dad (Tony Terran) played the trumpet on the Carpenters album "Close to You." Every time I add my dad's name someone is deleting it. Who is doing this and why? Daveterran (talk) 17:59, 18 May 2022 (UTC)Dave Terran
- I am doing it because Terran is not listed on the album credits, and I can't find his name in any descriptions of the album. The album lists orchestration by Richard Carpenter, and it says Richard also conducted, so obviously there was an uncredited orchestra. But the only such players receiving credit are three woodwind guys. AllMusic credits show the same names, organized slightly differently. Nobody gets credit for trumpet.

- There were obviously trumpets on this album. You can hear it! I talked to the AFM & SAF-AFTRA Distribution Fund and they confirmed that there were 4 trumpets on this album. I know the trumpet player who played the trumpet solo (Chuck Findley) on the song "Close to You." He was one of my trumpet teachers and my dad (Tony Terran) played many sessions with him. I was at one of the Carpenters sessions with my dad and remember like it was yesterday Karen Carpenter playing the drums during the 10-minute break. The studio and musician union credits are incomplete with many hit songs. I am in the know when it comes to who played on many of these sessions. If you want to claim that my dad didn't play on some of these recordings, then you're contributing to making Wikipedia less valid as a source of information.

- Here is a link that shows a partial list of my dad's (Tony Terran) credits on the All Music web site. You'll notice that my dad is credited for this 1970 Carpenters album.

- Wikipedia insists on published sources to support facts, which means your claimed "in the know" status does not count. AllMusic's clunky credits system often contradicts itself, for instance, this page of album credits fails to list any trumpets at all, and certainly doesn't list Terran. That means AllMusic cannot be considered reliable for credits in every case. Binksternet (talk) 15:40, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
