UK Punk[edit]

Thanks for the vote of confidence Jellis. I was starting to think my memory was playing tricks...

I think you might have hit the nail right on the head about what the Americans regards as Punk. I did wonder what Sandi Thom was on about, I thought either she was just stretching her poetic licence or was really bad at history.

How is Cirencester by the way? I used to play 5-a-side football there during the mid-eighties when I worked in Malmesbury at my first job. Haven't you got this giant cathedral in the middle of the road that all the traffic has to squeeze past? We always used to go for a curry somewhere near there after playing football but I don't remember the name. I do remember, however, that it was the first place I ever had Bombay Duck!

Thanks again.

Correcting Michael Kenyon's bibliography[edit]

Hello ... I'm reaching out to you because I found you on the Michael Kenyon history page. I'm completely new to Wikipedia, so need either advice or help to correct Mr. Kenyon's bibliography.

Here's the problem: the source used for his bibliography is incorrect. (I've just written the source site, asking the folks there to correct *their* listing.) In the section listing novels in Kenyon's Inspector Peckover series, the source lists *Zigzag* (1980) as the same as *The Elgar Variation* (1981). The Wikipedia entry follows suit.

But I've just read *Zigzag,* and can attest that it has a different plot (from *The Elgar Variation,* which was reviewed in The New York Times. I know this also from reading them both years ago. Unfortunately, I can't find any URL that summarizes *Zigzag* or otherwise confirms this for Wikipedia's verifiability rules ... nor do I own *Zigzag* or *The Elgar Variation.* Even if I did, I'm not sure it would help here.

What should I do? I have a feeling that if I simply make the change, it'll be disallowed. CosmoFunky (talk) 23:59, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
