We'd love your help. Please do read WP:MUSIC for our notability guidelines for musical groups. Also, generally it's considered a conflict of interest here (see WP:COI) to write an article about yourself in the article space. If you meet the criteria at WP:MUSIC, then someone else should be able to add an article on you. We do appreciate your contributions! Perel 16:50, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Same name question

Sorry, I'm new, but I was wondering how to add a new entry for someone of the same name as an existing entry. I'm trying to add James Mcfadden the jazz musician and tap dancer, but there is already a scottish hockey player by that name. Little help?

Hello, MarkpianoKC.
I think Wikipedia:Disambiguation would be useful to you.

Hope this helps.

[edit] Your opinion would be greatly appreciated

Hello there, I am a fellow member of Wikiproject jazz. I was wondering, if you had a moment to spare, if you would be willing to give your opinion on a matter at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 June 15 concerning a category I created. The category is [[Category:Jazz musicians of New Orleans]], and it has been proposed that the article be merged with Musicians of New Orleans and American jazz musicians. This is precisely why I created the category, because it seemed to me the birthplace of jazz music and continous modern symbol of jazz certainly deserves a category unto itself. Regardless of your opinion, I would greatly appreciate your input there so as to have a discussion over the matter. Thanks. (Mind meal 03:24, 15 June 2007 (UTC))
