I have a little problem, my band page has been deleted. I am a solo artist and I am finding it very unfair that just because I am not a big artist or haven't won an award that my page is deleted. I have however came 3rd in an Eisteddfod and have a link with composing music for the UK Eurovision.

I thought that on Misplaced Pages it's about being fair, so why am I not being given a chance? I have around 400 fans worldwide and am a very young, talented musician.

If you could help me I'd very much appreciate it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Settembreluna (talk • contribs) 17:06, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

The Ugly Truth

Variety reported the information I have included. What more verification do I need?

Hi

Hi John. Sorry to keep bothering you. But I just thought Id let you know that I recently started coaching a user here. I won't force you as I know how hard admin coaching is but if you are interested, and I don't mind if you refuse, you can add your name to the page. Thanks very much. :) Tbo (talk) 20:04, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I added myself. --John (talk) 04:14, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks John. Ill try not to make it too much trouble for you. I would also like to award you this:

Wow! Thanks a lot, I'll put it on my awards page. --John (talk) 22:21, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Dates

A date issue may be of interest, if you hadn't seen it already. Tyrenius (talk) 09:54, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that, I agree with you and will keep an eye on it. The user has already been warned by me previously for something else. --John (talk) 22:22, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

RE:Coaching

Hi John,

Thanks for coaching me!

Don't worry, i'm not in a hurry. And, I was in a small dispute a couple of weeks ago, so would like that to die down first!

See you on the coaching page!

Why did you endorse the block?

And the reason wasn't true. Why would anyone think these edits were point of view, personal workspace, inappropriate or without reliable sources? An elementary school kid telling me they are doesn't prove it to me. I took writing in college and I don't believe they were. Has anyone really read them? 02:19, 22 January 2008 claimed “personal point of view” See: 21:15, 21 January 2008 claimed “for figuring out who to vote for” to be "inappropriate" See: 22:48, 20 January 2008 claimed "inappropriate" See: 21:36, 18 January 2008 claimed original research, no reliable source See: 17 January 2008 claimed Original research, no reliable source See: I think they just glanced at the Diff and didn't read them or read their cited sources. --Chuck Marean 22:15, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I answered this on your talk. I know you are trying to help, but you need to remember this is a collaborative venture and remarks like the above are not likely to produce a collegial editing environment. Therefore, any repetition of such remarks is likely to lead to a longer block. Move on from your annoyance at being blocked, and do something helpful, would be my advice. Let me know if you need any help or guidance. --John (talk) 22:52, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem, G. It is great to see you back and working so hard. I wouldn't want some seedy anon to put you off your stride just when things are getting interesting! Best wishes, --John (talk) 04:16, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Agree, and I've done that. Thanks. --John (talk) 21:32, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protection bars unregistered and new editors. User:Mohummy appeared just yesterday for the purpose of warring on this article. Sarah777 (talk) 00:41, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

And a bit of Islamophobia thrown in for good measure. Check out his page. Sarah777 (talk) 00:46, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Fancy trying your hand at keeping this article from turning into an edit war for a while? If you manage 48hrs I'll give you a barnstar! Rockpocket 01:17, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
