Talk:Rednex

There are quite a lot of links in the article that reference the article itself(!). If no-one objects, I'll remove them. --Tirolion 14:59, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

The image that was being used was from google, and was almost certainly a breach of wikipedia image policy (though I am not familiar with said policy). An anonymous user fixed the issue - we should get a new (legal) picture. Erich Blume 08:17, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Stop vandalising this page by removing the contribution of Brian Reddyb to this band. Brian Reddyb 22:17, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

I see your account was just created. Earlier the name "Brian Reddyb" has been added to several articles with unlikely claims such as making a coup in 1968 with Saddam Hussein [1]. There has never been a source to any of these claims. I have added a source here which says 'the band's founders and producers Janne Ericsson, Örjan "Öban" Öberg and Pat Reiniz'. These are the 3 names in the article before you added "Brian Reddyb". I have added a citation needed tag to that name.[2] Claims in Wikipedia articles can be removed if Wikipedia:Verifiability is not satisfied. Please provide a reliable source if you don't want the name to be removed. PrimeHunter 23:52, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes I see you did add a source which states that 'the band's founders and producers Janne Ericsson, Örjan "Öban" Öberg and Pat Reiniz', from an article which was created on the 14th of May which is four days after which some vandal on this site removed Brian Reddyb from the list of founders. That vandal being, Öban a.k.a Örjan Öberg.Quite apparent that the 'source' sourced their information from this site. Myself and Öban had a dispute early on in the Rendex project, the result being that I left. So while I was not involved during the Rednex glory days, I most certainly was there at its inception. Furthermore, that article relates to a supposed ebay sale of the Rednex brand. I relinquished my rights to the brand upon departure, perhaps another reason why I am not referenced. I setup my Wikipedia account to stop vandals removing my contribution. Brian Reddyb 13.30, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Your account timing is interesting. User:Chiefofmsiss has made many strange unsourced edits about Brian Reddyb or name variations. The two most recent were adding Iraqi 1968 coup leader "Briyan al-Reddyb" to Saddam Hussein on 15 June 12.20[3], and adding producer "Brian Reddyb" to Rednex on 15 June 12.21[4]. Your account was created on 15 June 12.29[5], and your only edits are about adding producer "Brian Reddyb" to Rednex.

Wikipedia content should be based on published Wikipedia:Reliable sources. I have reverted your new addition of your name. My edit summary [6] explains why: "revert. The source is an unsourced tvWiki article created today by Brian Reddyb, after a source was requested here. Brian Reddyb gave a false date of the source here". It is not allowed to add private knowledge to Wikipedia without a reliable published source. See Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Verifiability (the first paragraph applies well here). Also see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. PrimeHunter 13:26, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

My account registration timing in relation to the so called Chiefofmsiss edits was merely coincidental. I have noted for some time that the inclusion of my name as one of the founding producers of Rednex was being subject to constant removal. See above comment re Örjan "Öban" Öberg, he being the principal culprit. Also see [7], this being an earlier discussion about people using my name or variations thereof in random articles. Unfortunately based on my association with Rednex and my subsequent career as a cabaret band manager, I managed to develop a cult following, primarily in Sweden, Germany and parts of Ireland. I accept your removal of my TvWiki source, but politely request that you stop vandalising this page. Brian Reddyb 15:33, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
