Hi Egghead06
Ok, Hi, yes I am new to this, first time...

So on sources, and by the way I have a few masters degrees and understand Harvard referencing, was a university lecturer and all that...

Factual, I knew Peggy Shaw personally, who lived as a professional guitar and piano music teacher in Elham, Kent, she taught her son Richard Shaw (whom I also know personally) how to play the guitar. He actually taught Noel Reading his first guitar chords. However, they used to practice in Kircher's Grandmother's house in Hythe, and play in skittle bands at the youth centre and at the Grammar school. Richard Shaw, is the only member alive and lives in Minehead, Somerset. Both Noel and Pete Kircher have passes on... I am a TV music producer in Devon www.theco.co.uk and have interviewed Richard Shaw... None of this is Harvard referencing of course, but non the less valuable information as these three boys were at the same school. Obviously this information is not going to be listed on the internet as it predates it... The facts are that three three boys were students of Folkestone Grammar School, and there is corroboration with Noel and Pete's listings.

What do you advise in this situation? Best,

Rick

 * Unfortunately, the rules and guidelines for Wikipedia require information to be found in independent reliable sources. If you're the only person who knows that those three played together, then it will not be included on Wikipedia. However, offline sources are perfectly acceptable, so if you can find a newspaper article or magazine page that gives that information, you are welcome to add it (and the reference) to the Wikipedia page. See WP:REFB for more information. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 19:44, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
