"The Beatles" versus "the Beatles"

There is currently a vote taking place and your input would be appreciated. — GabeMc (talk) 01:38, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend. Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:54, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Regions of England.

I don't think that your argument for the reversion to the old name is good. The lead makes clear what the purpose is - NUTS. There is a history section, but most of the stufff pre the accession to the EEC is just fanciful. None of it is particularly relevant to the article and could be dropped. The history also makes clear that "The English regions, which initially numbered ten, have since also replaced the Standard Statistical Regions". That wikipage would be a better home for such historical discussion. I propose to revert to the NUTS name in 3 days unless I hear a reasonable argument not to. Laurel Lodged (talk) 15:03, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that the regions are NUTS regions is relevant and interesting, but a very, very small part of the history of the regional subdivision of England - as, for that matter, is the division of the history into "before" and "after" accession to the EU. These things are simply not very important in the overall scheme of things. The "purpose" of regions is not NUTS - they are regional subdivisions that have developed over centuries, particularly the last 100 years. None of the article is "fanciful", though no doubt it could be better referenced. Sorry, but your arguments are so preposterous that it's hard to know where to start in arguing against them. If you want to pursue this issue I suggest you raise it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject England. Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:11, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To avoid an edit war, I've lodged a proposal in the article discussion page and the project page. Laurel Lodged (talk) 16:23, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Miami Showband

Ghmyrtle, I hope you don't mind, but I just nominated The Miami Showband for a DYK. I have already added the necessary refs in the article to back up the hook. Cheers!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:35, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary and Inappropriate revision of my edits

Please try actually READING my edit summaries and the article in question's talk page YOURSELF before you make any more short-sighted unnecessary and inappropriate revisions of perfectly valid and constructive edits.

I find it HIGHLY ironic that you posted the following message on my User talk page:

“ Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit at 2011 United Kingdom protests removed content from Wikipedia. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Apologies

Sorry about my impromptu changes last night. I now see using McAlea instead of Lee in the article about the band itself is akin to calling Bill Wyman Perks througout the Rolling Stones' article. Oh, the DYK has been passed, and it's good to go!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:09, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ghmyrtle, I see The Miami Showband article got over 5,000 hits!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:11, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Jessestone.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Jessestone.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 17:24, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried to give valid rationale to the image, but it's no really 'my bag'. Could you check what I've added and try to correct me where I've mucked up. I'm not sure if ACE records is the British or American outfit. FruitMonkey (talk) 23:41, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Try these as a resource for record ratings

The scanned versions of Billboard you can find at the google advanced book search site are as close to 1st person contemporary as you will find. Steve Pastor (talk) 16:02, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Is this in relation to "Shake, Rattle and Roll"? I know I could go through all the scanned online Billboard magazines, but I was hoping someone would have the pre-1955 Whitburn lists. Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:11, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
