I've started a page about the history of WaveFrame, a early digital audio system. I had heard that K. Gross had also done so, I'm looking for anyone that has any info or background. I found several contemporanious articles. It's a little hard, as the company has been gone for over 30 years. WhaleFarm (talk) 20:02, 13 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

My top 3

Post production at columbia in Mix magazine - This is a multi-page, independant source that dives deep into the operations and decision process at Sony Pictures. It is independant, respected magazine since 1977.

Oscar awards cerimony - independant, secondary

Chris Meyer 1988 Music Technology article. A detail, 4-part investigation and review of the WaveFrame system. WhaleFarm (talk) 16:46, 26 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi Carbils-

I've added the three best to the talk page. My choices are the oscar awards (generally considered important and independant), a 4-part series describing the technology and the company in Music Technology magazine, and a Mix magazine article on the CBS/sony post-production facility, based on WaveFrame. This is also very detailed.

1. "The 76th Scientific & Technical Awards 2003 | 2004". oscars.org. 2004.
2. Meyer, Chris (1988年09月01日). "The AudioFrame Explained part I" (PDF). Music Technology. 3 (2): 22–26 – via World Radio History. (4 parts)
3. Blair, Ivan (1992年07月01日). "Digital Post-Production at the former Columbia Westside" (PDF). Mix Magazine. 16 (7): 48–54 – via World Radio History.

The 4th part of the meyer article is not available online, I have purchased a copy on ebay, and will try to get it onto the archive site.

I've added several references, and corrected a lot of spelling errors.

I think I've properly note the COI.

any advice on editing, finding spelling would be helpful, I can't find any tools in the editor. WhaleFarm (talk) 17:59, 26 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi @WhaleFarm, thanks for the ping and this further information.

What is the nature of you conflict of interest? Thanks. Cabrils (talk) 06:39, 3 January 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

I am a named party. No financial stake since 1992. WhaleFarm (talk) 18:33, 3 January 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

I've tried to make the tone more neutral, and added more references.

I've also tried to expalin and document the other path that the equipment took to getting another, earlier Oscar.

Hi @WhaleFarm,

Thanks for this further information, including your declaration of COI.

As I wrote in my original comment on the draft, "In instances of a conflict of interest, the review of the page needs to be handled with care, mindful of the higher bar set by pages produced in circumstances of such a conflict. Such pages typically may read too much like a promotional CV or advertorial (see WP:PROMO), which Wikipedia is not; and/or contain prose that is not of a standard appropriate for an encyclopaedia (also see WP:PEACOCK and WP:NPV)."

In this case I also feel there is unjustified WP:EXCESSDETAIL, especially so given the somewhat obscure sources. I think the draft will be more likely to be accepted if it could be trimmed down to the most notable aspects of the subject (rather the current full history of it). I would encourage you to do so and then leave a note for me here and I would be happy to reassess. Cabrils (talk) 02:58, 4 January 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

I've cut out much of the internal detail. The sources I used are generally pretty mainstream, Mix Magazine has been published since 1977, however good, searchable indexes only go back to 1999. I'd like to find references in Keyboard magazine, but I can't find a good repository. WhaleFarm (talk) 22:29, 4 January 2026 (UTC) [reply ]
