Nob Nation
Well you seem to have removed quite a lot of stuff I didn't write. In fact pretty much the entire article. Which I recently did some tidy-up work on. Perhaps you would care to explain more explicitly what you mean by that message. Oh, and please sign your name when you leave a message. I have done so at the end just to show you a good example. (Logging in would also be more convenient for us all). --➨ Candlewicke :) Sign/Talk 00:27, 17 November 2008 (UTC)


 * And I restored the article. If you think it should be deleted then nominate it at AFD .Garda40 (talk) 02:13, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

 * "'daily and is ranked number one in the national radio listenership category of 20-44 year olds'"

It is!


 * Cite us please.


 * "'The series features almost 100 characters, including BIFFO, Enda Kenny, Plastic Selecting and dozens more'"

It does! (granted a rewording is needed)


 * Crufty Goodness - read the link I provided initially


 * "'The album debuted at #5 on the Irish Albums Chart ahead of Amy Winehouse and Bruce Springsteen'"

It did! (my contribution to that was, I think, removing the erroneous inclusion of Britney Spears or some such person which was inaccurate)


 * More crufty goodness - if I want to know what it was above, I'd look it up. This is more of the OMG GR8 LOL Sunday World type PR fluff.


 * "'Some of this seems to have been written by Callan as it comes across as a first year PR student effort. He's just short of finishing every sentence with a series of exclamation marks.'"
 * That's an opinion. I am not him and have never met him. I tried to improve a difficult page; if you check out the state it was in before my edits you should hopefully see that.


 * Opinions are like ______; everybody has one.

PEACOCK TERMS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_peacock_terms
 * "'Two CDs have been released to celebrate the best Nob Nation sketches, one in 2007 and a follow-up in 2008.'"
 * They were...


 * "The Best" a peacock term.


 * "'Nob Nation also habitually resides in the top five of the iTunes chart'"
 * It does...


 * Habitually resides - awful English, Peacocking stuff anyway.


 * "'The first Nob Nation CD, containing twenty popular sketches'"
 * It did, they were if sales and downloads are anything to go by...


 * More fanboy goodness.

EXTERNAL LINK SPAMMING http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Spam#External_link_spamming
 * "'Links to CDworld - this is clearly just to get more orders in for this CD.'"
 * Inaccurate statement. From my viewing that particular "link" is a reference. As far as I can see it serves the purpose of proving the CD's existence until a more reliable source can be located... I am fairly sure there is a difference between blatant overlinking and including an inline citation.


 * No need for it, the CD must exist if it sold so well, no?


 * "'and fourthly, the Irish Wikipedian's favourite, NPOV'"


 * "'No explanation needed, I hope!'"
 * I'm afraid so... that could be implying any number of things... :(
