Unearthed records

I'm not sure what to do about the Unearthed records section. As far as I can see from the One Little Indian website [1], Unearthed is an imprint of OLI, not a record label. I also can't find any evidence that Jim and Terry O'Brian set it up themselves. Anyone know if that is accurate? Seaweed 12:59, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

New album

According to Jim's website [2]] the album is... "Title, release date and artwork have yet to be confirmed". So I removed the statement that the album is called "Jim Moray". Any other evidence that's what it's called? The website also lists the possible songs. Should we include them? Seaweed 13:02, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Birth name

Jim Moray deleted information about his birth name from this article. Are we happy with that? (The information is already in the public domain.)Headhitter (talk) 00:10, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately not - and I'm a fan of his music. The source by his sister is surely pretty reliable. There's also one from a Birmingham Conservatorire newsletter from Spring 2004 which discloses his original name. [3]. For all I know he's legally changed his name, but that's not the point. I sympathise with Jim Moray about his wish to keep his "birth name" out of his Wikipedia entry, but again unfortunately it's not considered good practice to edit articles about yourself and Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia not a promotional site. Including birth names that are in the public domain is common practice for numerous actors, musicians etc. Seaweed (talk) 21:46, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
