Barry White Rhapsody in White
It would be good if we could list Rhapsody in White in the Barry White discography. I know the album was officially by the Love Unlimited Orchestra but it was of course pure and simply a Barry White album. If it's such a problem maybe you could make a note e.g. with the Love Unlimited Orchestra. This is a glaring ommission and sad for anyone unfamiliar with Barry's recordings who would otherwise not learn of this album recorded under the orchestra name but containing absolute classic Barry White songs such as 'Baby Blues', 'I Feel Love Coming On', and 'Dont Take It Away From Me'. Anyway let me know what you think about this. LauraineCrafts (talk) 09:10, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Shalamar
I noticed your comments on the article's talk page. You are correct in stating that the article is not as fullsome as it might be, and that it has a UK bias. The latter is probably of my doing. I was of the belief that Shalamar were more successful (or at least, as successful) in the UK in their prime, than in their homeland. However, I would welcome any enlightening. What the present article is not totally devoid of is references; something that surely needs to be maintained (well, at least, in my hideously biased view). If you can achieve that, then I wholeheartedly welcome your input.

 * After some time away from this article, I returned to do some more clean-up work today. It seems people just can not resist adding their own viewpoints.  Anyhow, the reason for sending you a note is to ask if you feel you are finished with the item.  I know you did a lot of work creating pages for the various Shalamar albums, so this is not intended as a criticism in any way - merely asking if you thought you had got as far as you could go, or whatever. Best wishes,

 * Well thankee for your unsolicited concern hun, but you know, I don't have many pleasures in life and I'd rather live another 10 years with me cigs than another 40 without. If it kills me, it kills me - I take the risk. Draggleduck (talk) 12:45, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Worcestershire
Hi Draggleduck. Thanks for all the work you've been doing adding postcodes and dialling codes to villages in Worcestershire. Between us we're making good progress in getting all 'settlements in Worcestershire' up to scratch. I notice from your home page that you live in Worcs - have you considered joining WikiProject Worcestershire? We'd love to have you on board (and you're already doing the work!).

Edit summaries
Please start using edit summaries, and I'll explain why. There's no reason for me to have to check a simple and obvious subcategorization cleanup like this. As people here get more familiar with you and comfortable with what you're doing, they can more easily decide if they want to check changes to articles that they're invested significant effort into. You can read more at Edit_summary.  Royal broil  22:43, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Well sorry to have wasted 10 seconds of your precious time by forcing you to check a simple and obvious cleanup that there was no reason for you to have to check - but hey, thanks for wasting a damn sight more of your own time with your patronising condescension! (And I'll use edit summaries as and when I choose.) Draggleduck (talk) 05:14, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
