Stub
[edit]This article is no longer a stub, but I don't know how to alter that category. I could place a photo from an album cover, but would someone comment re copyright? George Slivinsky 07:09, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Scope of article
[edit]I'm wondering how much detail would be appropriate. I could list all his UA singles with numbers and both sides. I think it's good to have such a reference source, but do others think it's overdoing? I've listed all the UA LPs I know rather than just prominent. Is that too much for a general encyclopedia?

Copy-edit
[edit]I did a copy-edit of the article for formatting, adding the musical artist infobox, and correctly formatting the images as thumbs, and bulletting the albums list and external links. - cgilbert(talk|contribs) 06:45, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Image sizes
[edit]I am reducing the image sizes back to 250px. I understand that George Slivinsky likes the images larger, and I am not reverting them back to the unspecified thumbnail size (180px). I believe that 250px is a reasonable size, which George Slivinsky, originally changed the image size to after I had formatted the images as thumbnails. Information about image sizes can be found at Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Images. If you would like to change the image sizes, please discuss the matter here before doing so. - cgilbert(talk|contribs) 13:02, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for File:Al Caiola - High Chaparral.ogg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
File:Al Caiola - High Chaparral.ogg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV
[edit]I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
- This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
- There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
- It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
- In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.
- This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 22:31, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
Starting clean up
[edit]I just removed this unsourced phrase:
- " His guitar style was inspired by Duane Eddy."
It seems to me that there is little or nothing in Caiola's discography to suggest much of a Eddy influence. Carptrash (talk) 21:11, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
- Do you have any sources for the album and single sections that are unsourced?
Vmavanti (talk) 01:12, 2 March 2019 (UTC)- Here is my next removal:
- Do you have any sources for the album and single sections that are unsourced?
- "* Glen Campbell — "Galveston"
I can find nothing to support Al playing on this, it wa recorded in LA, he is a NYC guy, and it is credited to the Wrecking Crew, which I have never seen him linked to. Carptrash (talk) 04:24, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
- I just cut these out:
"* The Coasters — "Dance!", "Gee, Golly", "Hungry", "I'm Fallin'", "Run Red Run"
- Run Red Run is the only one of these songs on my 20 track "Best of" CD and he is not on that. Musicians on the other 19 tracks are listed and he does not show up on any of them. He might be on some, if so, source it. Carptrash (talk) 04:29, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
- Out goes:
- Run Red Run is the only one of these songs on my 20 track "Best of" CD and he is not on that. Musicians on the other 19 tracks are listed and he does not show up on any of them. He might be on some, if so, source it. Carptrash (talk) 04:29, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
- Dion — "Abraham, Martin and John", "Drip Drop", "Runaround Sue", "The Wanderer"
- What I found was, (Dion speaking) "…Gene had brought in some of the city’s best studio musicians. We had Teacho Wiltshire on piano, Milt Hinton on bass, Panama Francis on drums, Buddy Lucas on tenor sax, Mickey “Guitar” Baker on lead guitar and Bucky Pizzarelli on rhythm guitar.
Dion at [1]
""For the Wander I find on wikipedia, "Musicians on the original recording included Bobby Gregg, Bucky Pizarelli and Johnny Falbo on guitars, Jerome Richardson on alto sax, Buddy Lucas on tenor sax, and Panama Francis and Sticks Evans on drums"
The rest of the Dion songs go off until a source is provided. Carptrash (talk) 04:37, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
