Proposed major edits

I intend making major edits over the next week: hopefully to get this article up to B-class. Interim edits may look disorganised or unfinished.shaidar cuebiyar ( talk | contribs ) 06:23, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Zoot (band). Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

  • Attempted to fix sourcing for //www.whammo.com.au/index.asp

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Proposed merge of Roger Hicks (rock musician) into Zoot (band)

Recommend merge - due to lack of verifiable citations, content and specific ties to music group. TRL (talk) 00:00, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I've had a go at providing references. His rock music career was brief and is now supported by further references. Under his full name his subsequent classical music career is now included in the article, with references, and has little to do with Zoot. According to Elysium Ensemble's official website he was a member (see here) but I have not included this as its not an independent source.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 08:24, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Trlovejoy: It's now more than three weeks since I've improved the article and proposed that it not be moved. There are no other interested editors. Can you provide your current thoughts on this matter?shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 07:20, 27 May 2024 (UTC)07:21, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. I am interested, but was not aware until today that this discussion was going on.
There's a very simple argument against merging with Zoot - and that is that, as can now be seen with material more recently added to the article, Hicks (or Glanville-Hicks, to use his full surname) has done a lot of things that had nothing to do with Zoot. In the rock music area, he made the contribution to Russell Morris's "The Real Thing" describeed in the article; and later on, he engaged in a number of classical music projects, too. And he was in a couple of films, too, even if the role was not very big.
However, in light of this, perhaps the name of the article should be changed from "Roger Hicks (rock musician)" to simply "Roger Glanville-Hicks" (the disambiguating description of what he does not needed now, with "Roger Glanville-Hicks" being a name not shared with any other Wikipedia subject). (By hte way, I think I have seen the name "Glanville-Hicks" written without a hyphen; but Roger Glanville-Hicks uses the form with the hyphen.)M.J.E. (talk) 17:27, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
