 * I'll try my best. Thanks for taking the time to review. Damian Vo (talk) 04:01, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Congratulations on this quick response, though one query I have is about the PWL acronym; it reads confusingly since the label is identified as Pete Waterman Entertainment, shouldn't it be referred to as Pete Waterman Limited since that was the label's name at the time? --K. Peake 16:51, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I already changed them to Pete Waterman Limited based on your suggestion :D Damian Vo (talk) 07:28, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
