Help me!

Please help me understand what is the correct way to include information about Andy Votel's Vertigo Mixed album on Linda Hoyle's page. Andy Votel's album uses material by Linda Hoyle. Thanks!

Misha Wolf (talk) 11:31, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

It appears Andy Votel's album makes use of material from many people. I don't think it's appropriate to mention that on all the other articles, and I see no reason to single out Hoyle. Are there reliable sources discussing that Hoyle's songs are being re-used by others? If so, we could summarize what they say, but if the only source is a track listing that, from the Hoyle article's point of view, offers nothing but a name-drop, I see no advantage to discussing it.

Help me!

Please help me understand whether it is legitimate to cite quotations which appear on a Web site if one has no first-hand evidence that those statements were made. I am thinking of some of the statements quoted by Angel Air on their Web page for Linda Hoyle's The Fetch. I managed to locate one of the quotations (the one from Goldmine Magazine) on the Web and have cited it. Is it legitimate to cite the ones I have not found elsewhere on the Web? Thanks!

I've since discovered that a number of these statements have been made in emails to Linda Hoyle and/or Mo Foster. I believe that it is legitimate to cite them as such.

Misha Wolf (talk) 11:59, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

If those quotes are not backed up by reliable published sources, they are inappropriate for Wikipedia. They might be suitable for a promotional blurb on the label's website, but they don't provide the context we need for encyclopedic coverage. Anything less than positive likely would not have made it onto Angel Records' website. Instead we're far better off if we locate independent reviews by reputable publications and summarize what those have to say about the album - the good and the bad (if any). In particular, emails sent to Hoyle and/or her collaborators are useless as Wikipedia references. Huon (talk) 13:38, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. I've removed those quotes. Misha Wolf (talk) 15:40, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
