Tom Rapp
Tom Rapp has his own article, and anything about his solo recordings should go in that article, not the Pearls Before Swine article. Thanks. Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:54, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

I suggest that, rather than appearing to start an edit war by simply reverting my edit, you explain on this page why you think that (some of) Rapp's solo activities need to be included on the band page. Simply saying "I disagree" is not enough. Separate articles exist for a good reason, and they should be kept separate - rather than mixing mentions of his solo activities into a discussion of PBS activities. There is no need to duplicate in this way. Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:42, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

71.15.60.50 (talk) 00:11, 25 October 2016 (UTC)>I further disagree. Pearls Before Swine has 10 solo albums credited on their page. One of these/City of Gold is designated on the wikipedia PBS page as it should be with the inclusion Thos. Rapp. Two more carry on the album cover Tom Rapp only, with one/Familiar Songs being clearly a Pearls Before Swine album. Another/Sunforest has Pearls Before Swine added as-if it seems an after thought. To do as you seem to state would be to remove @ least two of these from the PBS page. Which of course would be a horribly improper thing to do. Tom Rapp is Pearls Before Swine. Pearls Before Swine is Tom Rapp. Any and all fans viewing the PBS wikipedia page would want to be made aware of the various-artist inclusion. I expected such a further response to make reference to "duplicate." Naturally if it's suggested that in this case the various-artist statement should go on the other artist page then thy will be done. You're attacking from both sides&points and I resent that. Disagree with your use of the word "appearing" as-well. An edit war -has- been started by your invasion and I resent your blitzkrieg methods. Your throwing this&that purported degree and depth of knowledge & experience with Umpteen artists&genres serves mainly to make you look like a spread WaY too thin discredited egomaniac. Will ask @ this time that you cease & desist further attempts to undermine & remove postings that any fan would want to be made aware of while viewing either & especially -that- page. Tom Rapp formed the band. Had he not, some of your statements might hold water. Tom Rapp's 'solo activities' are all over the PBS page, as they Should Be. No attempt has been made for a TomRapp-less Pearls Before Swine apart from his prior inclusion to make a Go of it. He And It stand alone. Don't 'maess' wid' it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.15.60.50 (talk) 00:13, 25 October 2016‎

 * I rewrote those articles many years ago, and of course they can be improved. But, adding material in the wrong place does not improve them.  Please refrain from personal attacks, and, if you are seriously interested in improving the encyclopedia, I strongly suggest that you register an account.  Thanks.

>As for personal attack allegation > 'used the words "look like" ...not "are". Further > Attempted to sign my latest above correspondence and had after the last word already typed the four 'tilde' marks when I noticed they had already appeared @ the start of my message my having clicked the -tilde-/sign icon. So I erased the further ending marks. This time I will end my correspondence with the four 'tilde' marks and also click the Sign your posts on talk pages: icon. Also >the message apparently to me from GiantSnowman dated maybe a year ago > this is an incorrect post to me and although accused>as a matter-of-fact in-truth there was not to that referenced posting and never has been prior posting any message from me. This Pearls Before Swine/Tom Rapp is the first. Please see to it that that is removed from my message page or pass instruction on how I should go about doing so.

Thanks for your assistance. Account established. Must correct statement as-to this being my first post. In the years of using Wikipedia, must have made edits to some postings, but do not remember a single one. It appears possible to move our exchanges from this Library IP address to my now own account, with the exception of the May 2015 Giant Snowman post. Will attempt to move these exchanges on my own if help is not forthcoming. Thanks for the patience.... "For your records: Your donation, number CNTCT-16500092, on 2016-10-26 was $ 75.00."

 * It should be straightforward to cut and paste messages from this page to your own user talk page, where I've left a welcome message for you. Any problems, come back to me.  TR/PBS fan = Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:23, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
 * PS: I think this what you meant to do - it makes more sense to me anyway.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:21, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

So this -has- been accomplished, again Thanks to You. Had exactly that in paste mode but did not know how&where to add it. Must read all the intro getting-started articles you sent. Wikipedia appears by policy&procedure to give a novice editor the first impression that the party contacting them with a correction -aka User-- is on the same par/peer Level. This -in this novice opinion- puts the initial editor on the Defensive and thus scrambling to respond -on the Offensive- so as to not take it lying down. Although @first feeling this is a mistake...guess I'll have to further get my feet wet in order to look @ things more objectively. DanieLThomaS (talk) 16:49, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Sure. I'm happy to help - as someone who has (sadly, perhaps) been on this site for more than ten years now, I fully understand that it it takes new editors a while to get accustomed to how things are done.  Let me know if you need any advice.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:09, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
