There are a few minor updates/revisions that may add to this otherwise accurate entry.

Chiselgibbon and Night of the Killer Longface were both solo albums by Lee Allatson with no contribution from Jamie Smith or Michael Oxtoby.

The recording session planned with Albini in 2006 never took place. Michael Oxtoby was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and unable to fly. It has never been re-sheduled.

The name JP Smith is incorrect. It should be Jamie Smith. The P stands for 'pirate' and is a nickname, not a middle name.

The name Michael Curtis Oxtoby is incorrect, 'Curtis' being a nick name, not a middle name.

The band has never performed in Europe as stated.

Michael Oxtoby left the band in December 2007 to live in Cornwall, UK. The band now consists of Lee Allatson and Jamie Smith only.

'This Disquiet Dog' is performed and recorded by both Lee Allatson and Jamie Smith with a cameo performance by Michael Oxtoby. It was recorded at Jamie Smith's Owlhouse Studio, South Leicestershire and due for release later this year.

Ok - fixed. Thanks.--Michig (talk) 09:13, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, nice work improving this article. Unfortunately we have a slight problem - you copied and pasted the text into main space after improving it. This violates our licensing terms since it removes that attribution of edits done by other users.

You can fix this one of two ways:

Choice 1

• redo an additional edits that happened after mainspace pasting in your user space copy (this won't violate attribution since all the edits were done by you)
• tag the mainspace copy with {{db-g7}}
• after its deleted use the move button to move your userspace copy to mainspace

Choice 2

• request a history merge for the two copies of the article

Both options have the same result, but the first is easier on our admins. If you have any questions, let me know. --ThaddeusB (talk) 18:49, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the full edit history is appropriate (and needed). Even though you rewrote it more or less completely, you did so using the old text as a starting point which means we need to known where it came from for accurate licensing purposes. --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:08, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. :) I just wanted to let you know that I deleted Filthy Lucre (band) as a G6, since the actual article is at Filthy Lucre. We run into this at WP:CP now and again. In this case, somebody hijacked the original at Filthy Lucre to advertise a nightclub event. I've restored the original text and left the contributor a note about these situations at his or her talk page. (This hijacking is not unusual; that this person cared enough to do a copy & paste move is. :) At least he or she was trying to preserve the original material.) Anyway, I don't imagine that my deletion of this will be controversial with you, since the content is all at the other page, but since you declined an A7 on it, I just thought I'd let you know. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:31, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Thanks.--Michig (talk) 12:33, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Michig !

I noticed that you were extending the article about Mateo & Matos musical duo. I have created an article about Eddie Matos (musician), but was unable to retrieve any additional references within google, could you take an additional look if you find anything usefull about him ? Thank you ! -- Prunk (talk) 08:52, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Michig ! I am still looking for your assistance, if you have a minute ? I wasn't able to get any additional sources within Google. This article is being marked for deletion. Regards, -- Prunk (talk) 14:09, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Per your accepted request, I have added rollback rights to your account. Ensure you only use rollback correctly, ie its intended usage of reverting vandalism only. For information on rollback see: Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback in the future, just let me or any admin know. Cheers.

Many thanks.--Michig (talk) 09:47, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. Thank you for your excellent expansion of the stub I created! -- Earle [^t/_c] 13:23, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your appreciation. The fact that there was previously no article about him shows in my view what a long way Wikipedia still has to go before it can be considered comprehensive - a lot of the top Jamaican musicians from the 1940s - 1960s have no article or articles that don't do them justice. I have a good library of books on Jamaican music, so if you have any other articles in this area which could use some expansion please let me know.--Michig (talk) 17:06, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There was no consensus to undo the redirect. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 19:50, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting disruptive editing doesn't require consensus.--Michig (talk) 08:00, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you're right, it's a bigger mess than it should be. But given the consensus for other similar discographies to be deleted (and the fact that some actually do want the Atlantic one deleted), something is certainly going against the last consensus.

Okay. I admit I went about this all wrong, but if you say that there is indeed a reliable source that should help make this into an article of merit, then I believe you. I just want to see some actual work done instead of this less-than-half-assed list. (Also, do albums only distributed by Atlantic, such as Zac Brown Band's The Foundation, count?)

wow, michig, nice article. i love to see an article spring fully formed from the loins of its creator :) - references are perfect, plenty of detail - can't fault it! --Kaini (talk) 23:21, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

...and i never realised MVAL collaborated with Adrian Utley, although it makes perfect sense - the latest Portishead album has some beautiful modular synth stuff on it. i prettified the discog a bit. --Kaini (talk) 23:51, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Michig. Your addition of the bio material that I removed from the lead sentence looks good. Hopefully all is good? TIA --Tom (talk) 19:17, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thanks. I think a lot of people trim article ledes assuming that stuff that shouldn't be there is already covered elsewhere but end up removing information from the article. It's better all round if the bulk of the article is written first and the lede added last as a summary of the whole article, but it's not always the case.--Michig (talk) 20:05, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I spend a lot of time going through the genre categories looking for made-up terms that should be deleted, which is how I found R&B punk. I agree with your sentiments on the talk page. Given you have reviewed the sources cited in the article, would you agree that the article should be put up for AFD again? WesleyDodds (talk) 12:02, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I started a report at ANI. Joe Chill (talk) 17:42, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have included copies of your uncivil comments and the message that I posted on your talk page today. Joe Chill (talk) 18:05, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Thanks for letting me know.--Michig (talk) 19:14, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see you've been busy on The Jives' entry. Not sure what you mean by your note of 17 Aug:"added genuine sources" - you mean the sources I had added were not genuine? Or does "genuine sources" have a special meaning in wikiland? Johnalexwood (talk) 23:35, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
