[edit] T-Bone vs. T Bone
Since T Bone's preferred spelling now is without the hyphen, wouldn't it be more appropriate to make T Bone Burnett the article title with a redirect from T-Bone Burnett? Mitchell k dwyer 19:55, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- Excellent point -- T Bone dropped the hyphen back in the '80s. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.118.141.120 (talk • contribs) 12:45, 22 January 2006 (UTC) (signed, Donald Joseph)
- Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names) requires what is more common and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (identity) requires what T Bone himself uses. Hyacinth 08:05, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Narrow point of view
Coming to the article as a non-American with no prior knowledge of T Bone's career, wanting to find out all about him, it seems to have been written from a rather narrow twenty-first century point of view. Of course, I appreciate what "T Bone Burnett is an American original" is getting at, but I'd rather be given, at the outset of the article, a more bland and less starry eyed summary of the man. We are told first of his recent achievements, and then of his (equally important?) achievements earlier in his career--not, I would have thought, the encyclopedic way of doing it. Sorry to moan! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.92.154.118 (talk • contribs) 16:01 & 16:03, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
- That prose really has the feel of text copied from elsewhere, though Google does not find it on the web. --Kbh3rdtalk 03:22, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

- The text is a press release authored by Sony/Columbia Records. It's now up on the very new Sony T Bone page, which is why Google didn't find it for you. A real encyclopedia entry would include more personal info, like that he was married to Sam Phillips for a decade. And, the text likely violates capyright, since Sony/Columbia no doubt owns the copyright to the text in the press release. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.209.107.39 (talk • contribs) 19:09, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Possible copryight violation?
I followed 24.209.107.39's tip that the text was a copyright violation, and I found two sites I think were originally copied from, though in the first case with minor textual modification and in the second being edited in the time that the text has existed here on Wikipedia.
- [1] & [2] for the "14-year hiatus" line
- [3] (a Columbia Records press release) for the same line and for more
I think that this should be tagged as a {{copyvio}}, but am not entirely sure. At any rate, it does need major textual modification, because someone could certainly claim it is a copyright violation. What do you guys think?
