Virginmarys

Hi ,I reverted you edit to The Virginmarys article, because the band really formed in 2006. There's clear proof online that they released the song soul vampire in 2007 http://www.uberrock.co.uk/interviews/58-july-interviews/1061-ally-dickaty-the-virginmarys-interview-exclusive.html. I don't have an actual reference to confirm the 2006 date, but I know it to be true. Tubefurnace (talk) 19:49, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a promotional tool, it deals in facts. I've followed the band for many years, my source is an email dated September 2006 in which I referred a friend to MySpace.com/thevirginmarys. I guess Ally rounded late 2006 to early 2007 in the interview I cited. Of course I am a fan of the band, and wish them and their manager all the best. However, I will not support untruths, and the 2008 formation claim is not true. Understandably, the band are keen to present the selves as a newly formed band with a debut album, and I think some of their promotion is deliberately miselading to exaggerate that newness.

Hi, i hope you do not think I am being confrontational about this as I too am merely looking to deal with facts. I am just letting you know what I had been asked to do by the band themselves. May I ask if it was you who set up the page originally.? As I have been asked to find this out also. Leestgeorge (talk) 19:23, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you can see it was me who set up the page, Wikipedia is transparent in that respect. I don't particularly want to argue about this. It's just a matter of fact. Tubefurnace (talk)

I'm sure the band, their management, you, me,we've all got better things to do. And they're a great band, whether they formed in 2000 or 2012.Tubefurnace (talk) 19:31, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
