sorry and will do mate. bit of a sore point that the age is accurate for very personal reasons. Thanks mate.(Dave006 (talk) 10:58, 7 January 2014 (UTC)).[reply]

Can you help please mate, My brother had an account trfc06, he was blocked, but even he is eligible to have a new account I believe as long as he follows the rules? I am no sock puppet, what do I do re this now please? I have broke no rules and am editing only as allowed Thanks(Dave006 (talk) 16:13, 7 January 2014 (UTC) In fact I think my wife and at least one son have accounts at this ip address as well, dont think they are active though? PS dont suppose your a tranmere fan from you days on the Wirral??[reply]
I suggest you go to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Trfc06 and make your comments there. "My brother did it" is the oldest excuse in the book. And yes, we do have a common interest. Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:25, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

lol, I do have a family you know, 9 in this house, its quite big, dont worry. I will read that, thanks a lot. Good to find a tranmere fan, not many about! Who do you follow now where you live? (Dave006 (talk) 16:48, 7 January 2014 (UTC))[reply]

Copy of my answer to a message on the Jonathan King talk page - I see you're involved in editing it..... I see you've reversed all my edits so I assume you and the other editors are not interested in my contributions. I have no problem with that. The graduation date is clearly in Music Week (which was then Record Retailer) and all the other music papers; I was looking at Record Mirror which has a picture caption which says on Friday 23rd June 1967 "Jonathan King BA attends an awards ceremony at Cambridge University where he receives his honours degree in English - then rushes to Southampton to co-compere As You Like It" whatever that might be. Sorry if that doesn't meet your rules or agenda. LudoVicar (talk) 07:46, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WPMOS listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect WPMOS. Since you had some involvement with the WPMOS redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). John Vandenberg (chat) 02:00, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I noticed your edit on this can you explain as I have never heard of it ? I put an edit on the talk page Babydoll9799 (talk) 11:44, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Former heading needs to be returned to garage rock article and previous Characteristics section restored to former state

Someone altered the former heading to the garage rock section, which had read:

Garage rock is a raw form of rock and roll that was first popular in the United States and Canada from about 1963 to 1967. During the 1960s, it was not recognized as a separate music genre and had no specific name. In the 1970s, some critics referred to the style as punk rock, the first form of music to bear this description; although it is sometimes called garage punk, protopunk, or 1960s punk, the style has predominantly been referred to as garage rock.

Some of the new contents added had previously appeared in the "Characteristics" section of the article, which was a better place for them. The new changes make the heading unnecessarily verbose and deprive it of the conciseness needed for a good introduction. It now begins by discussing things that are not as primary as what was once stated clearly in the beginning. These new contents should be moved back to the "Characteristics" section of the article. I think that we should return article to its former configuration, albeit with any true improvements that would make it better. One change: "60s punk" is the most often used term (not "1960s punk"). Thanks. Garagepunk66 (talk) 19:21, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So why ask me? Raise it on the article talk page, or - if you want to personalise it - raise it with User:Sabrebd who made those changes (and for whom, incidentally, I have the greatest respect). Ghmyrtle (talk) 19:29, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I share your same respect for the editor of which you speak. But, no one is infallible. Large changes such as these should be made by consensus, not unilaterally (even by a highly regarded editor), and I have not seen any discussion threads on the talk page to solicit opinions of other editors on the matter. I will try to contact that editor. I should not have to be the one to put it onto the talk page myself, because no one ever asked me or anyone else's viewpoints on this. With that in mind I should certainly have every right to undo it and return it to its former configuration (for at least the time being). Then we can all have a discussion on the talk page about how to improve the configuration of the article. I think that would be the best and most appropriate way to proceed. Garagepunk66 (talk) 20:16, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You should raise it on the article talk page first. If the edit was contentious to anyone but yourself, others would have raised it already. Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:44, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have entered the thread on the Talk page as you recommended. Please read it and consider its merits. I do a much better job explaining the reasons there than what I wrote above. Thanks. Garagepunk66 (talk) 01:32, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for making the improvements in the heading. And I do acknowledge gratitude to SabreBD for making a first attempt to bring the heading into accordance with the guidelines. I think the article is now on the right track. I would like to add some parts about Hispanic bands in East LA and the numerous all-female bands of the time, such as The Pleasure Seekers and The Luv'd ones (based on reliable sources).
