Happy editing! Kwesi Yema (talk) 14:42, 17 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you

Welcome! Thank you for adding a performance to Der Kontrabaß. Please check what I did with it (move youtube to external links, format a reference that has only a bare url, drop the other reference because the link doesn't work for me). If you have a different reference for the Austin performance, please add it it a similar way as the Dubai one, and if you have problems or questions, ask right here. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:44, 17 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your help. Yes, I wonder this reference is not accessible: http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/george-washington-carver-museum-to-present-ode-amaize-performing-the-double-bass-by-patrick-suskind-728248.htm

This is the only other one I have. Much appreciated. Thank you. ~2026-45328-19 (talk) 15:09, 18 August 2026 (UTC)

I wonder why my reference #7 works but not the reference #9. Please delete the ref#9. I'm confused... THANK YOU. ~2026-45328-19 (talk) 15:28, 20 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for explaining. This Carver Museum url works for me! (no idea if I had a strange connection the other day.) It's not an ideal reference because only announcing (which strictly doesn't prove it ever happened, but better than nothing. I guess I was not clear: Dubai was already referenced. Wikipedia wants more than just an url: title, publisher, date, language especially if not English, access-date. I added all that for Dubai, and can do it for the other. But next time, you do it please. - Please sign into your account when you edit and reply here. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:38, 20 August 2026 (UTC)

Strangely, I could see some announcement when clicking on the url, but when I added it to the article, the result from releasewire was a message "Something went wrong ...", and when I clicked here again, I got the same message. I don't know why. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:48, 20 August 2026 (UTC)
