The Waltons (IOW)
Well, I'm a Tony Walton (yes, it's my real name). I'm no relation to John-Boy, I'm not the Oscar-winning one that was married to Julie Andrews, I've never written a note of music in my life and I'm nothing to do with this band. I couldn't let an article with a name like that go unloved, though!

By the way:

A Short Lesson On Reverting Edits
If you find you've bogged up an edit completely and want to revert to an earlier version, it's easy.


 * 1) Click on the "History" tab for the article
 * 2) Click on the date and time in the article history corresponding to the version you want to revert to You'll see the version of the article from that date and time
 * 3) Click on "Edit" You'll see a normal edit screen with a warning that you're editing an old version
 * 4) Explain in the edit summary why you're reverting (just a few words; people usually use "rv" as a shorthand for "revert")
 * 5) Click on "Save"

You can rv any edit, including other people's, but do this with extreme caution and always explain why. There's a thing called the "3RR", the "3 revert rule", which states that you can only revert a single page three times in a 24-hour period (excluding reverts of your own edits or reversion of simple vandalism). Breaking the 3RR can have consequences up to being blocked from editing. As I say though, reverting your own edits is easy, allowed as many times as you want, and can get you out of a hole if you mangle an article irretrievably. Cheers.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Cures copy72.jpg)
 Thanks for uploading Image:Cures copy72.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. - AWeenieMan (talk) 22:38, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
