- Go ahead. Wikipedia:FIRSTARTICLE#How_to_create_a_page tells you how to do it - it looks like you'll need to call your article Dust (Peatbog Faeries album), as there are already plenty of other albums called "Dust". --McGeddon (talk) 15:00, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you, i have made the page as Dust (Peatbog Faeries album).--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 15:11, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Dust (Peatbog Faeries album)
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Dust (Peatbog Faeries album) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Boolyme बूलीमी Chat बोलो!! 16:39, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

[edit]Read through the rules before making any new article. The article content should be backed by notable third party references. Boolyme बूलीमी Chat बोलो!! 16:55, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
And now the good news...
[edit]I've declined the speedy deletion of the albums as A7 doesn't cover products. As to references, you need to look at WP:RS. No blogs, forums, reverbnation or discogs. To show notability, they should be independent of the band or its label, and saying rather more than (for example) "The Pink Fluffies released their new album 'Descent into the Death House of the Seventh Hell' on July 22, 2009.". Peridon (talk) 17:30, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you. I will read. Do news pages count (like reference to BBC News or something?)--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 17:32, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
- If there's a BBC News article that mentions the album the album in some detail (beyond a passing namecheck), then yet, that would be perfect. WP:RS should tell you all you need to know - any solid news or music press coverage will be enough. --McGeddon (talk) 17:52, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) So long as they're not passing mentions or PR guff, yes, usually. (The National Enquirer and The Sun come a bit further down the reliability list than the BBC...) Be specific - don't just link to 'The Times of India' without an issue ref, and preferably with an online version. Peridon (talk) 17:57, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

The article Wow! 366 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- No indications of notability.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:39, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- Despite reading WP:RS, i am not sure how to do a notablity entry, please could somebody help.--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 17:41, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- The subject of the article must be talked about in 'reliable sources' - that is, discussed (not like The Pink Fluffies I referred to above), and in something independent and reliable. Blogs and forums (and Wikipedia...) are not reliable, because any old passerby can edit them. (Amazon can be used as a defence against a 'hoax' tag, but that's about all.) Places like Amazon aren't reliable for notability - they'll try to sell almost anything. (Conversely, if Amazon DON'T list it, it is 99.99% sure not to be notable beyond the author's five friends who have had free copies...) LinkedIn and AboutUs, IMDb and Spotlight are user supplied info - not good. Directories are out. Good press coverage, BBC review, established literary magazines, critical blogs where the comments are by the blogger and he/she has an article on Wikipedia that's been up for some months and isn't tagged for deletion, that sort of thing. I'll put a helpme up here to attract other comments. I'm not infallible... Peridon (talk) 12:29, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

- Urgh! What a horrible book name - that makes searching for refs even harder. Still not your fault. Peridon has summed up nicely, I did find http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2008/aug/05/speedystoriesforshortatten by the Guardian's children's book editor - I think that might be a useful thing to include. I also found http://booksforkeeps.co.uk/issue/173/childrens-books/reviews/wow-366-speedy-stories-in-just-366-words as well. Neither of those pages are "blog" or "anyone can edit" type pages.

Chilled Tango
[edit]Is "a 'speciality' that the drink could taste cold even in hot tempertures" referring to another menthol version of the drink, or am I misunderstanding what you're trying to say here? It'd seem a bit odd to pump menthol (or any other magic chemicals) into the day-to-day version of the drink - particularly when they were making a big deal of chilling the cans properly, with the heat-sensitive ink. --McGeddon (talk) 18:23, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

[edit]Hi Tango, on April 8 you added a paragraph to Cut the Crap including the following reference (among others): <ref name="joestrummer.us"/>
. Unfortunately, it has broken as there is no ref called "joestrummer.us" on that page. Could you please insert the entire reference (if possible)? Cheers, benzband (talk) 15:48, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Images go on Commons
[edit]I hope you were intending to add File:Alfriston lock-up 00.jpg to Category:Village lock-ups otherwise I shall feel offended! But in fact we simply do not need a category here that consists entirely of images. The correct place for such is the Commons and commons:Category:Village lock-ups already exists. Indeed, do not be surprised if your gallery gets deleted from village lock-up because excessive image are deprecated. Conversely, do please create a gallery commons:English village lock-ups - this is not a duplication of the category - an article allows more flexibility in ordering the content and providing better annotation. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:27, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
- Hi. I allowed one of my friends to make almost all (not all, but the category edits at least) of the village lock-ups edits, first time i've allowed anyone else to use my account temporarly. Regardless this is my responsibility, if there is one needed. I understand the proposals going on and indeed there is a lot of images in that article. I'm not 100% familiar with the Wikimedia commons but I see what I can do, as TangoTizerWolfstone or not.--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 23:26, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Millie (sculpture), and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.bradfordonavon.co.uk/WhatToDo/milliesculptureb.html.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Dave Clarke Allmusic edit
[edit]Hi TangoTizerWolfstone: I reverted your recent addition to the Dave Clarke (DJ/producer) page, as the title "techno hero" only appeared in a promotional blurb for the Chemical Brothers, so it seemed misleading to state that Allmusic as a whole was responsible for the accolade. It would be best to find an article or a profile from Allmusic that uses the "techno hero" title—something more substantial and notable than a minor piece of marketing. Regards,--Soulparadox (talk) 03:24, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
The Chemical Brothers
[edit]Good afternoon. I've noticed that you've been removing the trip hop genre on some of the articles on The Chemical Brothers. I wanted to notify you that I have now re-added the trip hop genre. TCB are still much part of UK trip hop, with a few songs relying on the genre on their albums, Dig Your Own Hole, Come with Us, Further, and their all new album, Born in the Echoes, available to own from July 24th.
Thank you for your attention.

Broadmead, Trowbridge
[edit]Broadmead may be known locally, and no doubt you know Trowbridge better than I do. But I don't think it qualifies to be listed in the Trowbridge article because:

- The search box at this Ordnance Survey page does not find it
- The map of Trowbridge Civil Parish at the same page does not show it.

NME 500
[edit]We should exercise our judgement. Given that reliable sources across the board (and not just us) call it hopelessly biased, unrepresentative and created from a flawed methodology, if we do present the NME 500 list as a reasonable indicator of merit, we do our readers a disservice. Remember, they read our article and come away thinking Modern Life is considered the 33rd best album ever, better than Abbey Road and Blood on the Tracks! They won't know that the list is Anglo- and rock-centric, while being biased towards more recent albums. Per our WP:VALID policy, "Wikipedia policy does not state or imply that every minority view or extraordinary claim needs to be presented along with commonly accepted mainstream scholarship as if they were of equal validity." Obviously they are talking about matters more serious than pop music, but I think the logic holds here.—indopug (talk) 07:56, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Indopug: I guess that makes sense. Also, I doubt its the case but under less strange parts of the list, would it be worth citing it whilst making note of the list's criticism, i.e. "ranked in the NME's controversial list off...", or does that just ask more of readers than it answers. TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 08:05, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
- Yeah, "controversial" just attracts undue attention towards the list itself, and away from the album under discussion.—indopug (talk) 08:46, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
Per the discussion at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Albums/Archive_46#Piero_Scaruffi_-_Final_Verdict_on_using_him_as_a_source_in_reviews there's a very clear consensus here that Scaruffi is not to be used as a source in music/album articles in any capacity. So please, do not add his opinions anymore. It is a wp:self published source. Since this is a long running dispute, any contributor warned by the situation and who doesn't respect it, would encounter sanctions and could be blocked from editing. Thanks. You've been informed because you used this source here. Woovee (talk) 20:09, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Woovee: Ah okay. I knew there was a discussion but I thought it was just about disallowing usage of him as a review source as he is a self-publishing amateur. I was using an interview on his site as a source for quotes from the interviewee but I was unaware that the interview was stolen (?) by Scaruffi. --TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 20:55, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
Excessive quotation of copyrighted content in Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)
[edit]Hi there,
The quoted content you added in your edit to the article Back to Life (However Do You Want Me) was interesting and informative.
However, it has been removed because taking that much from another (presumed-copyrighted) article goes way beyond "fair use" and into copyright violation.
In particular, please note that (from Quotations - Copyrighted_material_and_fair_use):-
- "...just as with fair-use images, fair-use quotation has limitations: The copied material should not comprise a substantial portion of the work being quoted, and a longer quotation should not be used where a shorter quotation would express the same information.".
If you have any further questions regarding this, please contact me, or ask a question through the usual help channels. Thank you.
Ubcule (talk) 19:15, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
- Ah okay yeah, this edit was some time ago when I was a little more carefree and less knowledgeable on the limits of quote sizes. Apologies. --TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 19:19, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of One Thousand Days of Trouble
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on One Thousand Days of Trouble requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from URL. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

XTC
[edit]Are you planning to revamp any other XTC articles or was Nonsuch a one-off? I've been thinking about having a go at rewriting the main band article (especially now that the This Is Pop documentary is about to air in the U.S. in three weeks), but I'm not really into the band's early era, and also it would take ages to pore through all the obscure magazine articles.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 19:22, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
- @Ilovetopaint: I've been considering The Big Express for a while now but I haven't got round to it yet (my friend, a huge fan of the album, also wanted to help me with it). Before then I considered Oranges and Lemons but I've abandoned that now as it would take forever (the Nonsuch page was very fun to write but it took up a lot of time, whereas The Big Express might not take as long, given there being fewer reviews, and yet there's still lots to write about, given the album's Swindon Works inspiration and themes). I have nothing else planned though. Good luck with the main XTC article if you do go through with it though, the This is Pop doc certainly provides lots of insight. Also thanks for your help on the Nonsuch page.--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 19:33, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Songs of Paapieye
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Songs of Paapieye requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article does not exist or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Orphaned non-free image File:SKKakrabaSongsOfPaapieye.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:SKKakrabaSongsOfPaapieye.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:33, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
WikiProject Wiltshire
[edit]Hi, TangoTizerWolfstone, I'd just like to welcome you to membership of this WikiProject. I see we share an interest in hill figures — I created the page on the Marlborough White Horse, which you have worked on, and I see you have created and worked on others.
Although the Project has been marked as semi-active, and for now it suits me to leave it like that, things are happening, the Project Page and Portal are developing. I am not a great believer in WikiProjects, individual effort is the thing that really makes a difference, but I do think it helps us to have a bird's-eye view of the coverage of the county, to focus our minds on where there are gaps and weak articles. I hope you will find the pages helpful. Please feel free to ping me if you need help with anything. You might perhaps help me on one point, there are two unassessed articles —I'm on top of the assessments, except that I can't do these, as I created them. You might look at the table and see if you can take that on? Welcome again, Moonraker (talk) 22:46, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
- Hi @Moonraker: and thanks for welcoming me to the WikiProject. I'd like to be able to help you with regards to the assessments although I haven't assessed pages before (I think many years ago in my first year of editing, I was going to but feared I'd cock it up somehow, so I didn't go through with it all). The three unassessed article seem start class to me but, being new to it, I just wanted to ask you if this is indeed the case before I go and edit the talk pages. With regards to future pages for the project, I was contemplating doing pages for some of Wiltshire's follies at some point.--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 14:42, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
- TangoTizerWolfstone, on your question, you might very well think that, but of course I couldn't possibly comment. On the follies, it's a good plan, I hope you can find time for it. Moonraker (talk) 20:50, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:15, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

- @Jabbi: Apologies for not getting back to you sooner. While the image is clearly the same on both sleeves, its going to need a source to say the Beta Band based it on Shand's album cover.

[edit]I guess you have read Graeme's superb book? Excellent additions, well done84.64.226.218 (talk) 19:05, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you! I haven't actually picked Graeme's book up yet and currently have only Munro's (and Chris Nickson's, which I couldn't cite as its self-published) but it will be my next book purchase for sure.--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 19:09, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
There is nonsense in both of those books. The one that irritates me is Nickson's -- he mentions Somewhere Over The rainbow getting into the top 20 in the UK!!! Absolute nonsense, but he mentions it no less than 6 times throughout the book! I have contacted the JM websites about it, but they are a bit sleepy. I hate factual errors -- pet hate of mine. I keep an eye on Wiki and all other albums (Sapphire especially) in case some Muppet puts this in! Graeme book is fabulous -- a tough honest read , but 100% accurate and sound interviews and quotes. Any way, your mammoth additions were excellent and much needed for an album that in my opinion knocks Solid Air sideways Muso805 (talk) 08:56, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure yet personally – I haven't done much Wikipedia work whilst I've been busy with university assignments so probably won't be doing much until June – but I think I'd be inclined to in some situations. I'd definitely used them in the prose (as I already have for Vincent's book) and I've used another of Thompson's Third Ear books, Reggae & Caribbean Music, in the ratings of an article so I suspect I may use either funk book if it takes my fancy in the moment. I'm not sure how I'd title them though. --TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 22:49, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Romo
[edit]The section is called "Death ..." with specific reference to the Melody Maker editorial where Simon Price declared the movement Dead. It is considered a big moment - every capsule history of Romo (especially hostile accounts) makes a big song and dance about Price's "Romo Is Dead" piece.
The inverted commas are because in reality Romo carried on - and Price acknowledged this in his review of a Belvedere Kane gig, as mentioned in the Wikipedia article.
I will admit I have thought in the past of going for something along the lines of - "Death" (and actual death) of Romo. Romomusicfan (talk) 14:54, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Romomusicfan: I still think 'Decline' is better, for the reasons I gave before. "'Death' of Romo" is too informal – if the scene died, or Price declared it as having done so, but it kept on anyway for another year or so as it inevitably began winding down, that seems like the point in which Romo 'declined' (or perhaps a better word), and makes the use of 'Death' even less appropriate. Would a section name reflecting both the decline and Price's piece work? ""Death" (and actual death) of Romo" is worse and vaguer, it can't have an 'actual death'.--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 16:00, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- OK, I will reinstate "Decline" until I can think of somethng better. I'm not keen on decline - there was no deterioration in the overall quality of Romo during the period, a lot of important works in the genre were recorded dnd in some cases even released.Romomusicfan (talk) 16:39, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

- How about Later Romo? Romomusicfan (talk) 16:58, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Romomusicfan: Yeah true, 'years' won't work but what about 'Later period'? --TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 18:01, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- OK I'll go with that one. I did think "later period" sounded a bit gynecological but it's basically down to that and late era, and maybe era is a bit much for 18 months (not as bad as Later years) so Later period it is.Romomusicfan (talk) 08:33, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Romo on Britpop page.
[edit]OK, I've left it on there but frankly Romo was a backlash against everything Britpop and the preceeding 15 years of indie-rock stood for, not just a new wierd type of Britpop. It's a bit like putting Punk on articles about Prog Rock and Pub Rock.Romomusicfan (talk) 09:14, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- Isn't really at all like that though imo. Romo is inexorably linked to Britpop and probably impossible to discuss in any detail without mentioning it. Erlewine in the Romo article even considers it an offshoot. Hence, 'Other topics'.- TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 16:55, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- I personally disliked that Erlewine quote and argued against its inclusion but another editor was insistent. Erlewine's quote about how "There's nothing but style and artifice here, and at crushing levels ... it's filled with affectation and pretension" - as though that were a bad thing - shows his fundamental lack of comprehension of Romo since the whole point was to be as artificial and affectating as possible as a backlash against the "Keep It Real, Maaaan!!!" ethos that Britpop had inherited from indie rock.Romomusicfan (talk) 00:16, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Romomusicfan: That would be your personal opinion though, and ultimately Erlewine is a RS, whose own observations I think add some balance to the article. I agree that he doesn't appear to quite 'get' Romo's appeal, but I also think Romo has plenty in common with established Britpop groups like Pulp, Denim, Suede circa Coming Up, sure why not Menswear, even Blur at times, alongside peripheral (sometimes-counted) characters like Earl Brutus, Babybird, Space. Britpop never being just a parade of Shed Sevens/OCSs/Casts... And Bowie/Roxy are shared DNA between them both. I think Romo was independent enough without having to exist as a 100% rejection of one (imo inaccurate) reading of what Britpop was. No music scene, or genre, is ever that black and white.--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 07:20, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
- I'll grant you that at least some of those bands flirted with ideas that would become central to Romo. "Girls and Boys" and "Disco 2000" may have experimented with dance pop but still avoided the sheer sleekness and gloss of, say, "Now" by Viva. The nearest relatives to that level of poppiness would be Kenickie circa Stay In The Sun and Sophie Ellis Bextor's post-Theaudience career. The bands you list generally added a safe layer of indie sonics/aesthetics to their mix, like paint thinned with turps.
- Erlewine's comments share an aspect with some other music journalists of using indie-acceptable reference points to describe Romo and its close relatives - eg comparing Orlando's "Just For A Second" to the Pet Shop Boys when its biggest debt was clearly to M People's "One Night in Heaven" (or comparing the said "Stay In The Sun" to St Ettiene as though D:Ream's "Things Can Only Get Better" never existed.) Romomusicfan (talk) 07:45, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
- That's a shame, agreed – one day, maybe the important roles that handbag house/hardbag/acid jazz/post-baggy pre-Britpop indie and plenty of other things played which have been written out of mainstream history will have nice useable books written about them – but that's just more a bugbear of how many music critics rely on familiar reference points than more precise ones. In the same way that, say, Pet Sounds will lazily be brought up in reference to a hundred thousand stringy pop records when far more suitable comparisons are there to be made. But disliking it has no real bearing on anything. The dissection re:'real glossiness' - or stated lack of indie cool - may be there to help separate Romo from those Britpop bands but it at least acknowledges there are parallels to still be drawn and similar cues at play.--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 08:08, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
- Unrelated to the article but I wonder, had Price and Parkes not christened their chosen bands 'Romo', would those bands pass for forgotten Britpop groups today? Fighting against the classification wouldn't mean anything, most 'Britpop' bands hated the term too.--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 07:24, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
- The thing is, Price and Parkes didn't invent Romo. Club Skinny co-promoters Paul "Hi Fi" Nugent and Kevin Wilde deserve primary credit for launching a glamorous pop night right in the middle of the Britpop nest at the Laurel Tree pub (then home of Blow Up) - with secondary credit going to members of female glam band Persecution Complex for establishing the practice of glamming up to go to Club Skinny. Simon Price was not the Malcolm McLaren of Romo, he was the combined Caroline Coon/Don Letts of Romo. The Malcy/Viv of Romo were HiFi and Kevin while the PC girls were the Jordan/Bromley Contingent of Romo. Romomusicfan (talk) 07:45, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
- Ultimately I think the gift of the name 'Romo' as the wrapping paper for these groups, the Melody Maker coverage, etc. is what has solidified it for so many. Had it not been for the name (and obviously the resultant history post-95), I'm not convinced the idea of it as a distinct thing would be all too recognised in 2023, no matter how unfortunate that would be. In a similar manner to how there were (as far as I can tell) separate Britfunk scenes in the early 80s based in different clubs – one 'scene' for instance was seemingly jazz-funk to the end, another important in the embryonic stages of the New Romantics – but they're all just 'Britfunk'.--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 08:08, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
- My take on it was that Price was about to invent Romo but then found it already up and running at Club Skinny. As far as music press coverage goes there is a similar point to be made re: if Caroline Coon had called the Sex Pistols Fan Scene something other than Punk (say, "Klomp" or something) and had not made the connection to the CBGBs scene in New York in her writing and declared the Pistols scene to be the UK wing of what was going on in NY then what would be the repercussions for modern recognition of said NY scene? Would it still be seen as the root of "Klomp Rock" or would it be just an obscure relic?Romomusicfan (talk) 08:46, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
- Also it's worth adding that Minty were the only real bolt-on to the scene as far as the press coverage went (and even they went along with it, sharing a drummer with Plastic Fantastic, playing both Club Skinny and Arcadia and Minty members' offshoot bands like Massive Ego and Elizabeth Bunny being heavily connected to the scene.) The other bands became involved in Romo mainly through approaching HiFi and Kevin for gigs - four of the seven were managed by HiFi and Kevin! Romomusicfan (talk) 08:50, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

- Ultimately I think the gift of the name 'Romo' as the wrapping paper for these groups, the Melody Maker coverage, etc. is what has solidified it for so many. Had it not been for the name (and obviously the resultant history post-95), I'm not convinced the idea of it as a distinct thing would be all too recognised in 2023, no matter how unfortunate that would be.

- The thing is, Price and Parkes didn't invent Romo. Club Skinny co-promoters Paul "Hi Fi" Nugent and Kevin Wilde deserve primary credit for launching a glamorous pop night right in the middle of the Britpop nest at the Laurel Tree pub (then home of Blow Up) - with secondary credit going to members of female glam band Persecution Complex for establishing the practice of glamming up to go to Club Skinny. Simon Price was not the Malcolm McLaren of Romo, he was the combined Caroline Coon/Don Letts of Romo. The Malcy/Viv of Romo were HiFi and Kevin while the PC girls were the Jordan/Bromley Contingent of Romo. Romomusicfan (talk) 07:45, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Romomusicfan: That would be your personal opinion though, and ultimately Erlewine is a RS, whose own observations I think add some balance to the article. I agree that he doesn't appear to quite 'get' Romo's appeal, but I also think Romo has plenty in common with established Britpop groups like Pulp, Denim, Suede circa Coming Up, sure why not Menswear, even Blur at times, alongside peripheral (sometimes-counted) characters like Earl Brutus, Babybird, Space. Britpop never being just a parade of Shed Sevens/OCSs/Casts... And Bowie/Roxy are shared DNA between them both. I think Romo was independent enough without having to exist as a 100% rejection of one (imo inaccurate) reading of what Britpop was. No music scene, or genre, is ever that black and white.--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 07:20, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
- I personally disliked that Erlewine quote and argued against its inclusion but another editor was insistent. Erlewine's quote about how "There's nothing but style and artifice here, and at crushing levels ... it's filled with affectation and pretension" - as though that were a bad thing - shows his fundamental lack of comprehension of Romo since the whole point was to be as artificial and affectating as possible as a backlash against the "Keep It Real, Maaaan!!!" ethos that Britpop had inherited from indie rock.Romomusicfan (talk) 00:16, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
My goof(s)
[edit]Sorry, I thought I was looking at a bulleted list; now I see it was in a flatlist, a construct I wasn't familiar with. And then I accidentally reverted your revert while trying to thank you. Dicklyon (talk) 21:04, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
- @Dicklyon: No worries! Sorry if I came over a bit sullen there and also for not spotting you were also unlinking the genre in the book title. Perhaps that part is better left paraphrased.--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 21:06, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, super Ralph, the big orange fella's come up and expanded Orange Man so it's a well-sourced and good read. Oooh, it just shows the real bite in long-standing dedicated Wikipedans! You know when you've been Tango'ed. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:40, 5 January 2024 (UTC) |

Hi there, TangoTigerWolfstone! Congrats on the new article. I have no suggestions for improvement, it's really excellent and all the bases are covered. Well done! (On a personal note, I'm sad I never got to see 'Scratch' live - I had tickets to see him in a tiny venue in Dublin, pre-Covid; that got cancelled and he was supposed to play support to Toots & the Maytals at a small festival, but then that got cancelled because of Covid.)

Caramel (Ambient Ver.) Citation
[edit]Hi! I don't primarily contact via Wikipedia, but I must ask this question: how much do you remember from Alex James' radio show on Blur Radio? You specifically mention how the Ambient Version was played during the show, but the whole show (and subsequently anything related to Blur Radio) is entirely lost.
Thank you! BaldManKelly (talk) 22:14, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
Assessments
[edit]Hi Tango, you really should be nominated the album articles you create and expand for WP:GA rather than looking for B-ratings, which really doesn't mean as much. I rarely will assess anything higher than C-class since a B requires checking that all the sources are reliable and relevant, and I don't have that bandwidth. Good luck and keep up the great work.

@Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars:: Thanks for commenting and clarifying. I must admit going to GAN is an idea I've toyed with now and then.--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 03:18, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
