Talk:Lord Flea

Age at death
His daughter stated that he was 27 when he died. Do you have better information? If so, what? My experience in these cases is that the family are likely to have the most accurate information. Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:54, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah again my fault! I should have explained the second later reference contains a message from Kathie corecting the previous error

"Kathy Giddarie said... It seems that the popularity of Lord Flea is resurging of late. I think that this is great. He should be remembered. He was only 25 years old at his death in 1959. I am sure, I am his daughter." Hillbillyholiday talk 22:58, 15 April 2013 (UTC)


 * OK, gotcha. In 2004 she said he was 27, and in 2008 she said he was 25.  If it were up to me I think I'd do a footnote.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 23:00, 15 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Sure if you want to do that _ I'm not sure how! I tried messaging her on facebook earlier, to be 100% sure, but you have to pay $0.99 to contact someone not yr friend now in the U.S. otherwise it goes to a spam folder.. So I won't hold my breath.  I even joined twitter and put an appeal out on there! Hillbillyholiday talk 23:02, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
 * (He does appear older IMO, but I guess that's neither here nor there :-) Hillbillyholiday talk 23:04, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
 * This contemporary report says 27 as well. Ghmyrtle (talk) 23:05, 15 April 2013 (UTC)


 * steady on now, 99c Pooter will be gutted Martinevans123 (talk) 23:10, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
 * (!) Mmmm.. Tricky.  Now i'm tempted to go for the published version as 27, though I know how papers often get ages wrong (it's happened to me), and the other version is a blog.  Until family come forward to provide differing sources - I'm happy with changing back to 27. Hillbillyholiday talk 23:12, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Didn't notice your edit and note in the article - loverly job! Hillbillyholiday talk 23:14, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
 * When sources give different information and one is not obviously more accurate or reliable than the other, I think it's best to give both sets of info and leaving the uncertainty there for readers. Great article!  Ghmyrtle (talk) 23:15, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Don't be surprised if the learning2share source get's challenged as non-WP:RS (.. that's probably why it looks so interesting). Martinevans123 (talk) 23:18, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

By the way, any idea why Jamaican musicians like Lord Flea and Ken Khouri have such full articles on Polish Wikipedia?? Ghmyrtle (talk) 23:23, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Hadn't noticed that! Ken Khouri needs an article for sure - I've got LLoyd Bradley's Bass Culture which should be plenty enough (with a few extra sources sprinkled in:-) Hillbillyholiday talk 23:32, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
 * They've formatted the discog way better Hillbillyholiday talk 23:32, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Breath of fresh air over here compared to "the other place"! Hillbillyholiday talk 23:36, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
 * El Vino Collapso? Martinevans123 (talk) 07:45, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

One down...
So, who wants to get started on this lot then? Hillbillyholiday talk 00:42, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Great source! I will bear it in mind, when real world doesn't get in the way!  Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:31, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Jump in the Line (Shake, Senora)
We have an article on that song, that claims it was written by Lord Kitchener. We should try to clarify the writing credits, if we can. Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:30, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Album cover image in lieu of personal one?
Could a low res version of the album cover be added? What are the rules on using album covers in lieu of personal subject images? (For that extra in-depth research: In fact a few items listed). Martinevans123 (talk) 12:22, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
