Supercharge (band)
Hi, I've been rewriting this to confirm to our Manual of Style for articles, and you've just changed it back to read like an advertising agency blurb. Would you care to explain why you are not following our guidelines here? Thanks. -- Rodhull andemu  22:19, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * There is now a discussion of this issue here and on the talk page of the article itself. -- Rodhull andemu  22:39, 16 August 2008 (UTC'll

Certainly - As a former member of Supercharge I would prefer to write it the way I please.
 * Then you should start your own encyclopedia, with your own standards. Meanwhile, since I didn't get a chance to fix it, it's now been deleted by another administrator and I will work on it in my own time, and bring it up to our standards. -- Rodhull andemu  23:10, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Do what you must ........By the way, I couldn't help noticing that the other administrator appears to believe that performing (as opposed to recording) music for the past 30+ years is of little merit. ... In my view that tell us all a great deal about the standard of 'administration'. Bob
 * Not really. The criteria we have for notability of bands is not dependent on performing, but Supercharge do fulfill at least two of them, WP:BAND #6 (through Ozzie Yue) and #7 (biggest R&B outfit in mid-70s Liverpool). Since I was there at the time and know this, I will make sure the article, when it reappears, states this. As it was, these things were not mentioned, and certainly not reliably sourced; admins are not supposed to go ferreting round when articles are deficient from the get-go. Give my regards to Ozzie, haven't seen him since I left Liverpool in 1982. -- Rodhull andemu  23:45, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello Rodhull I have no idea who put the original material up but it was really poor when I started adding bits and pieces about a year ago. My intention was to prepare the information before bothering with any form of layout by simply just leaving it the way it was; and although I have fiddled with it during the past months it is only very recently that I begun attempting to correct personnel etc. seriously. When the layout etc changed (that is, when you began to correct it in order to comply with Wiki criteria) I assumed it must have been something I had done (!) and so I dutifully attempted to 'correct it' once again (if you see what I mean). I hadn't even thought about it in terms of any formal Wiki style (which is now blatantly obvious - sorry). Re Ozzie - although I knew him quite well (we are both old LIOBIANS) I have only seen him very occasionally - however I am in touch with Albie, and also one or two of the other guys. My own connection here is that I played with Albie on and off since about 1965 - and my own band Juke teamed up with him to form the Supercharge '84 band. I also used to manage a club in the Adelphi - The Banyan Tree - and helped the original band to play regularly in London- perhaps you remember the club - I featured a lot of British Jazz, etc? I am now going to spend some time absorbing your'Manual of Style' something I suppose I should have done before ....obvious really! Regards Bob
