Tony Terran

I appologize. I'm new to content publishing on Wikipedia. There was a recent article about my dad that would support the information I put in his article. I think this could be considered a legitimate reference. I will add it to his article. I look forward to your feedback. Thanks.

Let me be blunt: you are not a reference; that is, personal testimony means nothing, and neither does "look him yourself up on Google". See guidelines on reliable sources, citations, and orginal research, not to mention the general biography guidelines here and WP:MUSIC. --Calton | Talk 23:53, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

I just added another reference (a published book) with the page number that mentions Tony Terran. This is the most reliable and verifiable source available on the wrecking crew. Tony and Hal did many recording sessions together in the 60s and 70s.--Daveterran 00:01, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Sentence that mentions Tony Terran on page 56 chapter 6 (Phil Spector & The Wrecking Crew) in Hal Blaine's book

"Steve Douglas was usually on sax along with Nino Tempo (April Stevens and Nono had the big hit Deep Purple), Jay Migliori and Roy Caton on trumpet along with Ollie Mitchell and Tony Terran."--Daveterran 00:00, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Dave, I have cleaned up the article a bit, you might care to wikilink to the other famous artists, films and TV shows. I don't suppose your dad everworked with Charles Fambrough or Henry Fambrough? Rich Farmbrough, 19:25 14 January 2007 (GMT).

It's a pleasure. Henry was (is?) in The Spinners, Charles a jazz bassist, solo, and with Wynton Marsalis among others. I have never met either of them, and don't know if they're related. Rich Farmbrough, 23:56 14 January 2007 (GMT).

Thanks for making the enquiries. No, I am not a musician, although I like to sing. Rich Farmbrough, 21:16 15 January 2007 (GMT).

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Daveterran. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Tony Terran, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Burning Love. Binksternet (talk) 04:56, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Stop adding unreferenced appearances by Tony Terran to music articles, using the Pennsylvania IP range Special:Contributions/2601:681:8700:55D0:0:0:0:0/64.

I am adding my dad's recording credits based on royalty payment statements from distribution funds such as AFM & SAG-AFTRA Distribution Fund, which I get as a beneficiary of my dad's recordings. There are other online resources such as All Music, Discogs, my dad's website, etc. that cooberate that my dad played on these recordings. Recording credits are quite incomplete on Wikipedia pages, and I'm just trying to make it more accurate! Daveterran (talk) 18:10, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

The first thing is that Wikipedia is not supposed to contain every possible fact. Instead, Wikipedia is designed to be a summary of published knowledge.

Your dad's royalty payments are not considered a reliable source on Wikipedia—they haven't been published. See WP:Reliable sources.

The discogs website can be changed by anyone logging in, so it is considered unreliable on Wikipedia. See WP:USERG and WP:ALBUMAVOID.

I have seen your dad's name in a few AllMusic credit lists, but many of your contributions are not supported that way.

Your dad's website is not considered reliable. See WP:SPS.

What you need to focus on are published accounts of your father's contributions and collaborations. Binksternet (talk) 19:50, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Is Allmusic considered reliable for recording credits? I see they're listed in yellow at RSP. Tony's credits are here [1]. GA-RT-22 (talk) 21:09, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

I can see why AllMusic is not so reliable for biographical details. Your link to Terran's credits include the album Music Box by the Monkees, but surfing to the AllMusic credits for Music Box shows no trumpet and no Terran,[2] so clearly this is not a well-managed database. One would have to go to other sources for Terran on Music Box, for instance albumlinernotes.com which says Terran played on two unremarkable songs on that album.[3] (I don't know whether albumlinernotes would be considered reliable. It's self-published, so that's not good.) Binksternet (talk) 22:57, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Tony Terran. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet (talk) 05:25, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Why are you erasing facts that I had on my dad's Wikipedia page? What is your rational for doing it? I don't appreciate your power tripping when you have absolutely no credibility on the subject matter of this content! If you think the information is not accurate, then prove it. It is all 100% correct and I can back it up with royalty statements that prove all of Tony Terran's recordings listed. Daveterran (talk) 05:46, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Stay off of my user talk page. Binksternet (talk) 04:00, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Daveterran, I happened to notice this dispute in passing. The fact is that those royalty statements are WP:PRIMARYSOURCEs, and using them would indeed constitute WP:Original research. I realize this may be frustrating, but there are reasons that Wikipedia requires secondary sources in almost all cases. As a result, a lot of stuff simply can't be in articles, and that's by design. Sorry.

Let me give some advice that I'm pretty sure you're going to find unwelcome, but I'm gonna offer it anyway: stop editing your dad's article. When people get involved in articles about their friends, their families, their companies, or anything else they're really close to, it almost always ends in tears. Read Wikipedia:Autobiography; everything it says there applies in this case. EEng 04:54, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
