Interscope

Heya. The changes you made to the Interscope article weren't completely accurate. 50% of Interscope was purchased by MCA Music Entertainment Group in 1996 -- it was already owned by Seagram. It became known as Universal Music Group shortly thereafter -- well before it was acquired by Vivendi in 2000. I think it's a mistake to go into the changes in ownership so early in this article --- I think it unnecessarily confuses readers, and it's not central to Interscope's identity, which was inextricably tied to Jimmy Iovine until last year. I also removed the information about IGA for the same reason (and because there's a separate article on Interscope Geffen A&M). I've referenced the changes I made with citations from the LA Times, the NY Times, and Hits.

That said it seems like we have some common interests. Let's work together b/c there are some REALLY bad articles on labels! Some spinny, some just wrong. Are you up for it? Thanks, and nice to meet you! Julie JSFarman (talk) 22:58, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

You're right! I was considering to contact you about how messy Republic Records and I do not know the delay, nice running into you though and thanks for the help. Smarty9108 (talk) 23:06, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

OH NO...Now that I've seen that Republic article I can't unsee it. AMAZING! I'm on my way out but will hit you back later on. So glad you're into it! JSFarman (talk) 23:33, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

I know...I fixed it...a little its so tragic lol. I am glad you are into stuff like this too! Smarty9108 (talk) 23:38, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

The weekend arrives! Started working on the RCA controversy section but a lot more to do. Think I have to go to the library to do it. Do you have access to High Beam by any chance? Julie JSFarman (talk) 22:11, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Sorry my friend, but I do not have any information on it. Smarty9108 (talk) 00:49, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello, just saw your Interscope edits and I'll comment on the talk page as well but I don't think it's appropriate to include statements from press releases in the article or report on new signings. There are dozens of artists signed every year and a press release is issued each time. If it's newsworthy (as it was with U2 and Madonna) I think it makes sense to include in the article but otherwise not so much. Maybe a recent signings section? Julie

That's a great Idea. I'll probably get to it later the next day. troublednbored (talk) 04:31, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

I just completed moving the recent signings on Interscope to another section. Anything else? troublednbored (talk) 10:59, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Cool! I just did an edit and removed the quote from the press releases (and the press releases as sources). Maybe you can add refs? And/or add other signings from 2014 and 2015? Since you asked and everything. :) I hope you don't think I'm being too aggressive but I've worked in the music industry and as a journalist forever and these label articles bum me out. I'm wanting to be constructively helpful -- you have a talent for this and it would be very cool to get the articles in better shape -- just trying to offer the benefit of my (off-wiki) experience.JSFarman (talk) 19:34, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Photo requests

Hi! Do you do photo requests in the DFW area by any chance? If so, are you interested in taking some pictures to improve Wikipedia coverage of certain articles? Which geographic areas do you prefer? WhisperToMe (talk) 13:09, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello! I prefer areas nearby my home such as Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Hurst, Euless, Grapevine, Irving, Southlake, Lewisville and Flower Mound. However the latter locations, I am only able to do on special occasions. Thanks for contacting me! troublednbored (talk) 21:15, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

You're welcome! I would like for someone to photograph the following:

• Fort Worth
  • American Airlines headquarters by DFW Airport: 4333 Amon Carter Boulevard, MD 5675 Fort Worth, TX 76155 (it's in the City of Fort Worth but the area is surrounded by the other municipalities you mention) -- This photo is the highest priority for me

If you want to try others, I can start a list with one city and add any that you want to do first/most:

• 'Irving
  • Irving Independent School District headquarters: 2621 W. Airport Freeway Irving, TX 75062
  • Irving High School: 900 N. O'Connor Irving, TX 75061
  • MacArthur High School: 3700 N. MacArthur Irving, TX 75062
  • Nimitz High School: 100 West Oakdale Irving, TX 75060
  • CFBISD Ranchview High School: 8401 Valley Ranch Parkway East Irving, TX, Dallas, 75063

Proposed deletion of File:Haltom city logo.gif

The file File:Haltom city logo.gif has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unused. Superseded by File:Flag of Haltom City, Texas.svg.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 11:01, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
