"Major Contributor" banner

Please remove the "Major Contributor" banner, as it is now redundant. I am permanently blocked from editing the page, due to one editor's objections. No warning is necessary any more.

that would not be appropriate as you still have contributed a significant portion of the content. To be clear, it is not just one editor's objections. Star Mississippi 14:29, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DaneCoGuy, I've removed the tag after going through the article to check it for neutrality. It's still a little more resume-like than we prefer (there's a lot of listing out affiliations, and I question the significance of some of them) and it still relies a bit too much in places on primary sources rather than secondary ones, but neither issue is bad enough to warrant a maintenance tag.

Thank you. DaneCoGuy (talk) 11:56, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

3/23 updates

This might be added to footnote 24, a more current publication https://www.thereporteronline.com/2023/02/24/faith-matters-dust-the-invitation-of-lent/

This might be added in the paragraph after footnote 27. "Raabe was interviewed at Concordia University Chicago about developments in church music and worship practices."

Hi @DaneCoGuy! Thanks for providing those links.

For referencing the fact that she writes for The Reporter, I think the best reference is just her author page, as that will show all of her work, with the most recent piece always at the top, and therefore won't constantly go out of date. I've changed it to that.

For the interview, I'm not persuaded that that piece of information is important enough to warrant inclusion in the article. People like Raabe tend to be interviewed all the time, and since Wikipedia is not indiscriminate collection of information, we want to note only the most important ones. If this was a particularly important interview, I would expect it to have been covered by some third party, e.g. a newspaper writing about the fact she was interviewed rather than just the university posting the interview. If such coverage exists, feel free to link to it and we can reevaluate.

Hope that helps explain! Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 15:46, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
