"Power is poison" -Henry Adams
Keep up the good work, and keep the pressure on. I hope that you beat me in this month's DAB Challenge – because if you do, I will have the pleasure of awarding you a very rare barnstar. Narky Blert ( talk) 21:27, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

I seriously think that some of the headline numbers in WP:TDD could soon be down to four figures if WP:DPL members keep the pressure on. Have you considered signing up? {{ Ping}} me if you'd like some links. Narky Blert ( talk) 01:47, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
Vm - just read a few of your remarks, not sure what an adult is doing here but thought I'd give you a thumbs up. Nice :) 172.58.40.87 ( talk) 02:11, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi Vmavanti. I'm not sure if this is the right way to get in touch with you, I'm new to Wikipedia and this seems to be the only way to get in touch, but I apologize if this was not the best way to message you. I'm doing work as a researcher looking into the lyrics to "Take the 'A' Train" and I noticed on the Wikipedia article for Take the "A" Train that you wrote:
"The lyrics used by the Ellington band were added by Joya Sherrill, who was 20 at the time (1944). She made up the words at her home in Detroit, while the song played on the radio. Her father, a noted Detroit activist, set up a meeting with Ellington. Owing to Joya's remarkable poise and singing ability and her unique take on the song, Ellington hired her as a vocalist and adopted her lyrics."
However, you did not source this on the article. I have primary sources proving this whole story except for the fact that Ellington definitively adopted her lyrics. It is my belief that he did but this is based on conjecture, not proof. I was wondering where you got your source for this claim or if it is also a well-informed guess, as mine is.
Also if there is a better way to contact you via Wikipedia please message me or e-mail me through Wikipedia, I'm not sure how reliably I will be checking this page. Menaye ( talk) 17:25, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your message. It's the paragraph starting "Rosenwinkel's musical contributions ... ", which is unsourced and contains some non-neutral wording like "iconic". Best wishes, Tacyarg ( talk) 08:11, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
I fixed most of those broken anchors you asked about at the help desk. (I used to run a bot that dealt with these things) I haven't decided what to do about the following ones yet as they are non-trivial. I'll look at them again tomorrow.
Don Ellis Orchestra : I can't find the broken anchor
Free Country (album) : Looks like a false positive caused by the {{Main}} template
Music from Other Galaxies and Planets : Princess Leia's Theme
Soprillo : Looks like another false positive caused by the {{Main}} template
Straight No Chaser (magazine) : Bookogs
The George Benson Collection : White Rabbit
Traveling Miles : Run the Voodoo Down Probably best just to link to the main Bitches Brew article. Winston365 ( talk) 07:38, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
So what exactly was the problem with the discography listing in Wardell Gray that you removed in September, 2023? Possibly the article reference numbering (which was just removed, but you didn't) is out of place, and maybe the formatting was, but a lot of factual releases of Wardell Gray (perhaps mostly CD, but unreleased material comes out that way) are no longer in the article.
