Regarding your contribution to Wikipedia
Thank you for contributions to Wikipedia. Your edits to the article Marine Girls whilst expanding the content do contain certain inconsistencies which puts bias into the article.

To claim that the music was Indie would be to stretch the point. Their releases were on "indie" record labels, as was about 70% of music in the UK at that time, however their style is basically folk music.

The group were contemporaries of such acts as Young Marble Giants and The Raincoats. Broadly speaking the group belonged to the fanzine-driven groups of the period 1980-1982, popularised by NME's C81 and Magic Reel cassettes. By contrast, The Slits, were from the punk era. By influences, are you implying musical or philosophical? There could be many acts and artists that influenced the group members but the example of The Slits is incongruous with Marine Girls musical style.

Your comment from Kurt Cobain has been moved to a (new) trivia section although a reference would be appropriate. However, their influence on the early Riot Grrrl scene would seem to original research and has been omitted.

In previous edits you have implied that the group was a four-piece. During the time line of the group, Alice Fox replaced Gina so maintaining the core structure of a "trio". There were also contributions by Tim Charles Hall. Also the implication that they all sang is not correct. → friedfish 11:10, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
