Reviewing

This is a very short article providing no content to the reader, and not enough (if any) google/yahoo hits. Λua∫Wise (talk) 15:01, 7 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

What do you mean by "not enough (if any) google/yahoo hits." Twang! is famous in theatrical history. If you type "bart" and "twang" (avoiding unrelated uses of the word) there are thousands of hits. --Paul B (talk) 11:09, 29 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
The article has been expanded, but still has a long way to go. It must also provide verifiable sources.Λua∫Wise (talk) 15:11, 7 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
If only the anonymous editor from January 2011 could have addressed the perceived "inappropriate tone for Wikipedia" on this page? Without any constructive suggestions and failing to identify themselves- I am going to remove the posting they left on the page. --DamienSlattery 21:07, 26 February 2011 (UTC) Damslattery

Exclamation marks in title

edit

The title of the show famously has two exclamation marks, and it is spelt thus in the article, so why does the article title just have one? (Twang!! redirects to this article, so it can't be a technical issue). AndrewWTaylor (talk) 16:39, 3 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Googled this one, and you're right, of course!! Tried moving it but it wouldn't go!! - according to the error message because "Twang!!" is on a "black list" of titles (??) Much more serious - found a review of the show on another site that is word for word the same as our article - suspect that ours is NOT the original, and we are therefore breaching copyright (oh dear!).--Soundofmusicals (talk) 00:49, 4 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Re- Twang!! As I put the article together myself from the original stub, and used the books I have sourced about Lionel- I am a bit surprised that someone would see it as a breach of copyright or plagiarism. I can assure you that I did it alone and a glance at the chequered history of the article will reveal me modifying it to death. Very interested to see a review of the show that is word for word? Thanks. --DamienSlattery 00:35, 5 March 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Damslattery (talkcontribs)

Of course it may very well be that ours IS the original, it happens that Wiki is sometimes plagarised. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 20:55, 25 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
I saw that various other sites, including discussion forums, copied from Wikipedia. I believe DamienSlattery. -- Ssilvers (talk) 01:22, 26 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

STILL far from being a "good" article BUT...

edit

For an article about about a "minor" musical this is actually not that bad really. I have removed the tags - I suggest that anyone wanting to reinstate them bring up specific things on this page, or, much better still, do some further research/rewriting themselves. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 21:15, 25 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Name again; title blacklist

edit

This article should be moved to Twang!!. As stated above, for unknown reasons, the exact name is on the title blacklist. Can anyone kindly communicate with the powers that be and get them to open up the name? -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:11, 26 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
