Green Monkey promotion

Wikipedia is not a platform for advertising. Please stop hyping your label in Green Pajamas. In an article about Jeff Kelly's band, the label name "Green Monkey" still occurs over 20 times, compared to "Jeff" at only 17 times. I cannot imagine why that seems less than sufficient.

If you can produce well-sourced information about the Green Pajamas' relationship to Green Monkey (or preferably, other worthwhile information about the band), that might merit inclusion in the article. However, efforts to shoehorn the label name into more sentences is simply spamming. / edg ☺ ☭ 11:19, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well I was quite surprised to read this as I've not considered their discography any kind of label promotion, just a standard discography. I don't contribute to the page very often. Happy to follow the spirit of Wikipedia. I will just take the Green Monkey listings out of the discography. If you want the Camera Obscura stuff to be unlisted as well, the owner Tony Dale is dead so I don't know about that.

I went into the page and changed all the Green Monkey references in the discography to "Seattle label." It looks a little odd when all the other labels they release stuff on are listed, but I will let you worry about that. Greenmonkeyrecords (talk) 04:01, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I should have been more specific. Edits like this one really have the effect of framing the article from entirely the perspective of the Green Monkey label. The phrase "The band connected with Tom Dyer's Green Monkey Records" tells the reader nothing in particular since the association is already made abundantly clear elsewhere in the article.

I'm reverting this edit — it's not helpful, and not what I meant. Thank you for your contributions. / edg ☺ ☭ 14:13, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
