Hello, I'm Joyous!. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to The Coasters seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

 * Those edits are truthful and accurate. I worked with the Coasters, in Ontario, in the 80s.
 * Bobby Nunn was a member, along with Carl Gardner, until 1986, when Bobby passed away.
 * The laws regarding a musical act having a minimum of one, original member, from the first charted album, is true.
 * That is why Foreigner can't perform in over 30 states, without Mick Jones. Skynyrd can't perform in those states, at all, because they have no original members. Little River Band is another. The Coasters, Platters, and virtually EVERY musical act of that genre, from the 50s and 60s, can't perform in those states. No original members.
 * This was done to protect the legacy, rights, and trademarks of the original member and, more importantly, the buying public that would lay out good money just because they believed they'd be seeing original member(s).
 * I have 45 years in the industry. I don't edit Wikipedia pages just to have something to do.
 * If YOU are going to publish something, then make it factual and do some research.

The material you added was not encyclopedic in tone, and was completely unsourced. Do some research and back up what you're trying to say, using reliable, published sources. It sounds as though you have the beginning of an interesting article. Joyous! Noise! 04:12, 12 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Nope. I'm not going to do your work for you.
 * This is a link to a pic of me with the Coasters. Carl Gardner on the left. Bobby Nunn on the right.

 * The members's timeline is a missing more information than I'm going to address.
 * Those laws were enacted because many of those, one-time members, would book out as The Coasters, or other groups they sang with.
 * Like I said, I'm not going to do your work for you. I'll just go along believing what so many say. That Wikipedia info is lacking, too often incorrect and the gate keepers don't give a shit.
 * Keep on power tripping. It's no wonder that, too often, the people that truly control this site are begging for donations. I bet much of them go to legal fees.
 * Don't bother to reply. 216.183.198.209 (talk) 04:26, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
