Paul McCartney
Hi Keithmall. Was there a reason why you removed that sentence in the Paul McCarthy article? Its normally considered good form to use an edit summary and/or a note on the talk page explaining your edit when your remove information from an article. Its helps other editors know if its a valid edit or just drive-by vandalism. Cheers --Spartaz 20:00, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Paul McCartney did not sing on Do They Know Its Christmas although his speaking voice did appear on the b side.

Paul McCartney is an article that features in WikiProject The Beatles. You seem to know a bit about the subject, so I am inviting you to look over the Project page and add your name to the participants (if you want).LessHeard vanU 14:09, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Amendment to Missy Higgins article
Dear Keith,

I'm sorry about the misunderstanding. When i viewed the change I mistook it and thought it was made by the user 'Harry**' without good reason. My thoughts on having the material near the beginning of the page is similar to the thoughts of user 'Chuq', "I thought it would be useful to at least mention that a 2nd album was about to be released." It is entirely relevant to have some information about her new release\s in the opening paragraph as many people don't read pages in detail and it is quite a major event in her career and of large very large public interest.

I am happy with the edit that Chuq made and though if I had my choice Steer would be in the first paragraph, I believe this is a fair balance between your and my opinions. What are your thoughts on that?

I also apologize for labelling 'Steer' as a title track. I believed title track meant the 'major' most popular/promoted/released track from an album, but now realise it should have been labeled as a featured track.

Aside from that I would appreciate If you conducted your communication to me in a respectful civilized manner as, "I'll leave it if it makes you happy to have such badly written material in the article" unknowingly assumes derogatory and hurtful characteristics of myself.

Replied with: Thank you for your response. I am genuinely sorry if the tone of my comments seemed uncivilised but your own comments ie "please do not remove material without good reason" were also a bit abrasive considering we now agree that my amendments were made for a reason. Clearly we are are both interested in the quality of the article and of Wikipedia in general so maybe we should shake hands from (presumably)several thousand miles apart and work for the common good. I think the compromise amendments that have been made are absolutely fine. He is quite correct that this is an encyclopedia not a fan information site. I think the "headline" reference to a 2nd album (which I guess we are both looking forward to hearing), with fuller details in their chronological place is a correct approach to the structure of the article. We have both apologised for our comments and I am pleased this has come to a grown up conclusion.

Speedy deletion of Clive Gregson
A tag has been placed on Clive Gregson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
