UK Music Hall of Fame

The UK Music Hall of Fame was a short-lived television awards show. Does this really merit inclusion in the lead section? Apparently, it also prompts the need to differentiate the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the awkward adjective "US" or "American". While it is located in the United States, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is not limited to any nationality as the adjective implies. Piriczki (talk) 13:13, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do not see any reason why it should be included. It should be replaced with a mention of the number of Grammy awards perhaps. Karst (talk) 13:39, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 27 October 2016

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Pink Floyd. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
