Rivers Cuomo of Weezer

Rivers plays an Epiphone SG along with other guitars as can be seen on his 'Pork n Beans' music video. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.165.117.38 (talk) 16:01, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

missing guitarists

I think there are at least three important guitarists missing in the list: Jorma Kaukonen - Jefferson Airplane - (Epiphone Riviera) he also signed a J.K. version with the bigby with his name. Otis Rush - bluesman - used a Riviera consistently both in studio and in live concerts Max Marinaio (The Flying Cats Rockabilly band) - he used extensively a custoumized Epiphone Riviera with P94 and a Bigsby both in live and studio sessions. All of these information are verifyable. It is relatively simple to find also photographs on the internet and in the artists' websites. Mmrecords (talk) 18:47, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

trying to add references

help help, please and thank you kindly! i'm trying to add references and have haplessly discovered that they don't automatically replace the "no references" notice. can someone please teach me how to replace the "no references" notice with an active reference list? thanks for any available assistance ...

Done. 156.34.225.77 (talk) 09:24, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thank you kindly - one more gormless question about references: do photos count? as in: if a book or magazine contains photographic evidence of the factuality of a statement, but don't actually include text that refers specifically to (for example) the model of guitar, is it acceptable to cite that book or whatever as a source? thanks for any insights. Sssoul (talk) 16:49, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quick answer... I don't know. I will ask an admin friend to let ne know there thoughts. In the meantime Wikipedia's policies on this sort of thing are WP:V (verifiability) and WP:CITE (citations). They might help answer your question. 156.34.142.110 (talk) 17:21, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thanks - i did read through those two pages and don't see anything about citing books for their photographic evidence. on this and the Gibson Players list there are lots of statements that are 100% well-documented by photos, footage, etc, so it's definitely verifiable; but it also sometimes seems that the plea for references is not always reserved for stuff that "may be challenged". i understand the beauty of citing sources for everything possible, but sometimes it's hard to find something written/published about stuff like "Brian used a Casino on the Ed Sullivan show" - no one has to write it, since the footage speaks for itself. anyway ... thanks for asking the admin person, and i'll look forward to hearing the verdict.

Jones using a Casino on the Ed Sullivan Show is actually quite easy to reference. Sullivan's musical guests have all been compiled and released on Video/DVD somewhere along the way. All that needs to be done is to get the tech info of any release of such an appearnce by Jones and then add it into the article using the {cite video} template. That way you've provided all the information required for a reader to access the video themselves and verify the information is correct. That's WP:V at it's best and that's what Wikipedia is all about. It's not a bad thing to have a ref at the end of every line(unless thats overkill when the ref cites the entire paragraph). The more refs the better. That's what makes a good Featured Article. 156.34.142.110 (talk) 19:18, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ahh so! thanks very much. i don't know of any officially-released dvds of the Stones' Ed Sullivan appearances, so for now i've used the "cite episode" template instead. if i find something on dvd i'll spiff that up. thanks again. Sssoul (talk) 19:44, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Beatles and/or McCartney?

is there a reason to list the Beatles collectively as well as having a separate McCartney entry? seems like either all three of the Epiphone-playing ex-Beatles should have their own entries, or that none of them should. at the moment my vote is to keep only the collective entry, to avoid repetition; as far as i can tell the Epiphones they owned/used in their solo careers are the same ones they owned/used as Beatles. Sssoul (talk) 14:28, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

well, since no one seems to have strong feelings about it, i've integrated the McCartney entry into the Beatles' collective entry. i would've gone the other way - dismantling the collective entry and making separate Harrison and Lennon entries instead - but it seemed like it would necessitate considerable repetition (either that or the story of how McCartney got his Epis before the other two would get kinda lost in the shuffle, and that would be a pity, i think - it's interesting).

the one thing i do feel strongly about is that a separate entry for McCartney but not for Harrison or Lennon doesn't seem appropriate: Harrison and Lennon were after all the main *public* Epi users in the band. Sssoul (talk) 18:44, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
