Since I'm too lazy to do a side-by-side comparision, who are you looking to add or remove? 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 18:31, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. - I see that you want to add A. R. Rahman, but there's nothing in his article (except a category) that indicates he was a Columbia Records artist. Also, shouldn't Rahman be added alphabetically between Pink Floyd and Santana?

 Not done: this is not the right page to request additional user rights. You may reopen this request with the specific changes to be made and someone will add them for you, or if you have an account, you can wait until you are autoconfirmed and edit the page yourself.

Coming modifications

I am currently overhauling the American Record Corporation (ARC) page, and soon I will be updating this page for that period ONLY. So if you are not interested in the 1930s-40s, carry on. There is no way I am letting all my research go partially to waste, and allowing two varying accounts on wikipedia. Check that page if you want preview. Tillywilly17 (talk) 05:49, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

DONE 6/25 made the main changes and additions I wanted -- 1938 rebirth with sale date & amt (from court docs in CBS shareholders squabble 1941), new addresses corp and studio and official name, date place of new Columbia Records all future entities would be built on. Without expanding article, I want to add more detail and remove some bad parts. will do in the future on my own time Please contact me if I messed anything up, or you want to expand any info I noticed there is very little on the 1939. 1940 1941 1942 years etc. Missing all the Frank joins 'Columbia', Harry James, Benny and Okeh early Country Gene Autry, Ted Daffan, Bob Wills Okeh was no.1 in early 40s I got all studio info too NYC Chicago LA no charge or grumbles Tillywilly17 (talk) 04:13, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Have added mucho detailing the 1931 to 1939 period, which was almost empty, now fat. Bad time for Columbia, but very important to set up the 40s, which also needs content, moving towards the LP section. Wallerstein introduced, labels and artists introduced, need to add content on Duke, Harry James, Gene Autry and Pistol Packin Mama, biggest hit of WWII, inspired troops to victory. Columbia become top label in 1940s, not a word at present, but I will cover. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer sold 20 million right. I will look up notes and get good references and accurate number.Tillywilly17 (talk) 10:47, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Executives section - Is this for current execs or Columbia Hall of Fame?

I added

Edward Wallerstein – Chairman & CEO (1939-51)

seemed like the right thing to do

I have plenty more in my notes

what is the cutoff? Executive vp? Sgt-at-arms?
