TAMI Show (band)
Hi, I noticed you changing the name of a band member on this article. Available references give a different name for the keyboardist. If you have further changes to make to this page, please discuss them on the article talk page first. Thanks. Chubbles (talk) 02:23, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

I have been editing the section under the band listing, listing the keyboard player for the band as Peter Spero. This is because I was the keyboard player for TAMI Show, played on all of their CDs, was signed to them to the labels listed, and went through many years of work with the band, most of the years that they existed. The keyboard player listed, although he is a good guy, and a friend as well, only came into the band to play some live shows at the very end of the band's time together. I need to be listed here because I am in the process of being looked at by a major band ant TAMI Show (band) is one of the search results they will find for me. Can you please help me to correct this? Truthsayer2014 (talk) 13:53, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay. One big problem here is that Wikipedia is not intended to be a promotional site (there is more about this guideline at WP:PROMO). That doesn't mean you (or Mr. Spero; we get impersonators all the time, though I have no idea what kind of person would want to impersonate a keyboardist for a lesser-known '80s two-hit wonder) shouldn't be listed, but it does mean that, say, if you tried to write an article for yourself or add a large amount of personal information on the TAMI show page, you might encounter some resistance (and certainly not just from me). That said, the site has an interest in having verifiably true information added to its pages, including complete memberlists for bands. I pulled the list of bandmembers from Joel Whitburn's Billboard books, where I got the information about the band's commercial success on the charts. McCrae is listed in that book. Now, I see that you are listed as the keyboardist on some discographical websites such as Discogs, which is likely pulling the information directly off the albums. That's good enough, though unless and until we got better information about who was in the band for how long (from a reliable source), both you and McCrae ought to be listed.

Ok, but if you check out both actual CDs you'll see Peter Spero listed as the keyboard player on both. I'm not trying to self promote myself as the keyboard player for this not so popular band, I just need the history to be stated correctly. I went through years with TAMI show, traveled the country with them, recorded both CDs with them and went through YEARS of work and struggle with them. I left just before the second CD came out, this is where George came in to do some of the last live shows. If you want the correct information to be confirmed, just contact any of the other listed members, including George. Thank you for your timeTruthsayer2014 (talk)
