Has anyone else noticed that the abstract has April 29, 1899, while the Early Life section has the day as April 15, 1879. That's wrong I believe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eplack ( talk • contribs)

In recent months there have been multiple additions and removals of mention of a character in a Big_Mouth_(TV_series) who represents the ghost of Duke Ellington; this was most recently added to the Duke_Ellington#Tributes section. The summary and outgoing links in Big_Mouth_(TV_series)#Main seem sufficient, as they do for the series' other cultural reference points such as Statue of Liberty, Pablo Picasso. Neither for this article or any of these others does adding mention of this animation series impart any additional information about the subject of this article.

KajenCAT added a sentence to the lead, stating "His name appeared in the Paradise Papers.". Judging from the article which that user included as a reference and
here, what was in the Paradise Papers was "a cache of music publishing rights" which included those on "
Day Dream", a 1939 Billy Strayhorn song on which Ellington sometimes has co-writing credits. The subsequent collateralisation of song rights for profit some 70 years later is of some interest, but is far from carrying sufficient importance to the biography of Ellington to be mentioned in the introductory overview - or, in my opinion, anywhere else in the article. I am reverting the addition but am happy to read others' views on whether it merits inclusion.

There should probably be some mention of Ellington biographer Stuart Nicholson (jazz historian) or better yet use of his biography on Ellington in this article. 4meter4 ( talk) 20:52, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
