From Mick himself:
- "For more general information, I have Wikipedia, “the Free Encyclopedia,” on a hot button, and it’s faster and more complete than any printed desk encyclopedia. Doubts have been voiced as to how an encyclopedia can be accurate when it is created and updated for and by the people, but constant use tends to confirm Wikipedia’s general exactitude, and the entry on me (which makes me profoundly happy) is accurate, if short, and written with enough mild cynicism to keep me in my place. Inevitable mistakes do occur, given Wikipedia’s open architecture, but, according to a spot-check by the magazine Nature, these are in a similar error margin to that of the Encyclopedia Britannica’s mistakes."

[edit] Concern over references
It's kind of awkward when dealing with counter-culture, but really the reference sources cited are hardly either academic or authoritative: one Freeserve user page, one AOL user page, a bibliography from a dead site, and discography pages from a site of self-proclaimed "highly opinionated review books". Not exactly up to WP:CITE standards. Even if the man himself doesn't object, the quality is hardly up to WP's verification standards. Cain Mosni 19:22, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Restructure
I've tried rejigging the text into more coherent sections. The disc and bib lists have been taken from www.thanatosoft.freeserve.co.uk. I'm sure there's more that could be added to Farren's counterculture activities. – Drwhawkfan (talk) 12:29, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Doc 40
The bot removed a link to Mick Farren's Doc 40 blog. Surely this is an appropriate link for a Mick Farren article? Proscriptus (talk) 14:13, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, in that it functions as Farren's de facto homepage, it is (IMHO). It's been removed before - there is standing policy not to link to blogs as references. Wwwhatsup (talk) 22:08, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
