Hi @Larrypearl:. I removed the sentence about the documentary. It didn't have a source, and future events should not normally be mentioned until they have taken place and been covered by reliable sources. WP:CRYSTAL is one of the relevant policies.

I tagged the article with "promotional content". Sentences like the music world would soon learn that Charlie’s dream was indeed happening are not in the WP:NEUTRAL tone usually used in Wikipedia articles.

You've said on your Talk page that you are related to Castleman. In this case, you shouldn't edit the article directly - you can put edit requests on this Talk page and uninvolved editors will see them. Please add references for any information you want to add.

Does that help at all? I know you are not a new editor, but I will add a Welcome to your user Talk page with links to resources which might help, and will also post the conflict of interest guidance there. I can recommend the tearoom if you have specific questions you would like to ask. Tacyarg (talk) 20:23, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

 Go ahead: I have reviewed these proposed changes and suggest that you go ahead and make the proposed changes to the page. Note that using this diff formatting makes the reference invisible unless we go into edit mode. Rusalkii (talk) 20:34, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

proposed changes and process

Professor Castleman is my cousin. So I will NOT be making live edits but will use COI Procedures to ensure consensus and then use COI review for suggested changes.

The following discussion refers to the entry just before 15 December.

Generally I’ll be reworking entire sections to be written encyclopedic style with good primary references/sources and remove “creative writing”, opinions, etc.

The section about the “Castleman Quartet Program” will be removed. It will be referenced in another section. I will remove the quotation from Yo-Yo Ma (sounds like advertising?).

The “Contributions, Gifts, Endowment” section will be modified to be less storyline and more factual. Quote from Miclen LaiPang will be removed.

History: The original Wikipedia entry for Charles Martin Castleman was created in 2011 by a student at Eastman School of Music. Poorly written it was removed by Wikipedia on two occasions most likely due to poor primary references. Professor Castleman asked for my help. Although I had no Wikipedia experience I added a couple of references and removed a reference to a site in Russia, written in Russian (The Tchaikovsky Competition) and the entry remained, poorly written, until my recent attempted improvement.

At nine, he made his solo recital debuts at Jordan Hall in Boston and Town Hall in New YorkIn Aaron Richmond's Celebrity Series of 1950-51 he was co-featured with Mischa Elman, Jascha Heifetz and Isaac Stern.

Charles Castleman attended Thayer Academy schools in Braintree, Massachusetts.

He received AB and MA degrees from Harvard University, Curtis Institute of Music (Philadelphia), and the University of Pennsylvania.

He was a student of Emanuel Ondricek then Ivan Galamian at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia (1959–63), where his coaches were David Oistrakh, Henryk Szeryng, and Josef Gingold.  

Note: I have a reference from Thayer Academy that discusses his experiences at Thayer Academy and recent gift. I could reference this here in a later section "Contributions, Gifts, Endowments"

Please indicate which sources relate to which pieces of information in the suggested text. Apologies but volunteers are not going to spend their time doing this sort of basic cross-referencing which you should already have provided in your request. Axad12 (talk) 11:11, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
