His Master's Voice

Hello! Thank you for the post on my talk page. I have been working tirelessly on "His Master's Voice" related matters for the past couple of months, trying to understand the fragmented history of the brand. Unfortunately, most recordings on Misplaced Pages use the article His Master's Voice as a label, however this page is strictly about the painting and trademark that was sold in 1899.

I turned List of HMV POP artists to His Master's Voice (British record label) and began removing the His Master's Voice on the recording pages and replacing it with His Master's Voice (British record label) under the belief that 'His Master's Voice' became its own record label in 1952 when the Gramophone Company ventured into pop music. However, on further inspection, all His Master's Voice releases still have The Gramophone Company Limited imprinted on them. And then doing some further research, His Master's Voice was never incorporated as a recording company, only as a retailer.

There is no debate that the American releases using the His Master's Voice trademark and artwork are Victor Talking Machine Company or RCA Victor releases.

In an attempt to resolve this, I have made a merge proposal on the Gramophone Company and His Master's Voice (British record label) that I invite you to join. Many thanks. Icaldonta (talk) 15:46, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you. — Ирука 09:15, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Another waste of time deletion nomination: I've swapped the image on the article with the one from Commons, where it is freely and adequately licensed. There's no issue with it here, but as there's a Commons copy, that may as well be used (Iruka13 is blocked on Commons for "wikilawyering, contributing in bad faith and other tangential nonsense", so there is no danger that their version will face a similarly spurious deletion; hasten the day the process is repeated here). - SchroCat (talk) 09:50, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

DYK for Home and Beauty

On 6 January 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Home and Beauty, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Home and Beauty has been described as both a "little masterpiece of polite merriment" and a "misogynist comedy dipped in vitriol"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Home and Beauty. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Home and Beauty), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
