Talk:The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Thelonious Monk

Artwork

It would be nice to find artwork for the Mosaic and Blue Note releases. I'm having trouble finding good copies online, and I don't think I can get a good scan of my CD box set. albumartexchange.com might have some good scans though. TlonicChronic (talk) 20:07, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

In the past, I think I've used cover images from AllMusic with an appropriate use rationale. There used to be a way to automatically generate this, but it didn't work last time I tried it. See later revisions of that page for a couple of different rationale statements. Brunton (talk) 15:01, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Page move

TlonicChronic, I'm not convinced that this move was appropriate. It means we've lost the page for the sessions themselves, which are more clearly notable than any of the reissues; they get enough of a mention even in a couple of general histories of jazz I've got to establish notability, and biographies of Monk discuss them in detail. If the reissues have sufficient coverage to establish notability they should have their own pages which could be linked from the sessions page, but the sessions themselves definitely should have their own article.

I agree the sessions are more notable, but there weren't any citations in the original page, and it simply gave a track list of the six session, plus a discography plus a bunch of track lists for already extant pages. All six sessions, as originally shown in the article, are directly preserved in this track list. TlonicChronic (talk) 15:20, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

TlonicChronic, as with your unilateral squashing together of "Genius" volumes 1 and 2, your move of the sessions page to this one simply muddies the water on what was a more informative page about the various releases of this material. If the prior page was lacking citations, why not put out a request for such citations to be added? Your edits are destructive, here, and I don't think there was widespread desire for the material to be reformatted in this way. Sojambi Pinola (talk) 18:04, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Unless you respond to these concerns, I think I'm going to go ahead and work with others to restore the other pages and add the citations you felt were lacking. There are less destructive ways to handle what you perceived as the issues. Thank you. Sojambi Pinola (talk) 10:48, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

... we've lost all reference to the single (78 shellac) releases of this material, perhaps the most culturally/historically aspect of the recordings.

It's fine that a page exists for this release, but I wish you had not eliminated that page to do so. It's a destructive edit. Sojambi Pinola (talk) 10:56, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

by references, you mean a list.

they aren't lost ... they've been moved to his discography page ... where they belong TlonicChronic (talk) 19:39, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
