editDear Cindamuse - by restructuring the page you have made some of it meaningless like;
'Additional participation on the tour was made in support of Tenpole Tudor, Altered Images, Department S, and The Mo-dettes'
It would just be that the support bands were Tenpole Tudor, Altered Images, Department S, and The Mo-dettes
also... 'in support of Gary Glitter and Joy Division'
its not 'in support' of them, it is as 'support band' to them, or on the same bill - a completely different meaning
also... 'During the tour, the band (Solar, Spizz and Lu Edmonds from The Damned) provided support to Siouxsie and the Banshees at the Palladium in New York City'
it was during the tour, as the tour was with 999. It is in addition to the tour as they were already touring with 999.
also... 'In his spare time, he writes, and plays guitar and keyboards' - you have made an assumption that it is in his spare time, that's not what it said in the original article. What's your source?
Perhaps you should have a look at other band sites and come back, as your changes seem to reflect some sort of college dissertation rather than an accurate version of what occured at the time.
I take on board there should be more citations, so on, but give us a chance, we've only just started !!
I'll leave it a few days, and see if you can improve it, if not I'll undo it, and continue to make improvements that have references and citations. Thank you Debbiereynolds (talk) 16:38, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
- Article talk pages are meant to focus on the article, rather than initiating conversation with other editors. If you wish to speak with other editors, it is much easier to do so on their talk pages. As stated below, within the guidelines and in accordance with the Manual of Style, editors are welcome to bring clarification to the article at any time, along with providing appropriate inline citations to ensure verifiability. However, reverting an article to a preferred version that is outside of compliance with the guidelines is deemed disruptive and inappropriate. Please feel free to contact me on my talk page if you have any questions. Best regards, Cind.amuse 20:27, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
I found Clive Parker page today.I am from the UK and followed the music scene, this was my era. I was really suprised to notice the page suddenly changed format when I went back to it! I can now see from above that it has been edited. I agree that this has resulted in nonsensical jargon suggesting the editor has little knowledge of the subject matter. I really dislike the changes in the layout too - and why?Ninabrem (talk) 17:58, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
- The edits are made in accordance with Wikipedia's Manual of Style, as part of the New Page Patrol and reviewing new articles. When new articles are created, we review the article and make an initial assessment to determine feasibility. We then make an attempt to bring the article into compliance with Wikipedia's guidelines and Manual of Style. The previous format and style was not appropriate for an encyclopedia. The desire is to bring the article into compliance through the editing process, to include providing significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. The alternative is deletion. Editing is always somewhat difficult when editors fail to provide required sources and inline references upon which they base their articles. Within the guidelines and in accordance with the Manual of Style, editors are welcome to bring clarification to the article, along with providing appropriate inline citations to ensure verifiability. However, reverting an article to a preferred version that is outside of compliance with the guidelines is deemed disruptive and inappropriate. Please feel free to contact me on my talk page if you have any questions. Regards, Cind.amuse 20:27, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice - duly noted Debbiereynolds (talk) 12:02, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
Support
editAll the info about who supported who should just be deleted. It's not material, and confusing. That said, I'm happy to see the article escaped the grim reaper. Wwwhatsup (talk) 09:08, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Hello Wwwhatsup - Can I ask that the supporting info is put back because of the historical value. It shows the cultural references, the type of bands / musicians that were out gigging, and their links with eachother. Its not really confusing because it shows the types of tours that were playing, where this musician played, and helps with references to the period, when there is little other information on fairly marginal (but influential) players at period that had virtually no media coverage other than the music papers ? Thus it is historically pertinent. e.g. Parker borrowed the drums from June Miles-Kingston (Mo-dettes) for some of the recording of the 'Do A Runner' album, which she'd bought off Paul Cook of the Sex Pistols for £20. after Parker toured with the Mo-dettes. Let me know if we can get it back ?? thank you. Debbiereynolds (talk) 09:22, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
