thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This article is being constantly vandalised  by one individual. 
I understand that Wikipedia is free for anybody to edit , but to remove huge chunks of cited information seems unfair because a user thinks it’s ‘rubbish’ and ‘irrelevant’. The user does not contribute anything useful to the article and seems to have joined recently only to destroy hours of researched fact . Smelly.Spaniel (talk) 18:50, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Concerns over editing content 

message: Hoping a bot or someone will pick up this talk . User : Popscenealrightt contributes nothing to this page except editing out large chunks of text for no reason. This user has already had a warning for doing the same thing to another page .

thread_title:  Vandalism…again 

message: I do not wish to be involved in an edit war and certainly do not want to violate any Wikipedia rules. 
I do try to write a balanced article but if my views seem bias and ‘fandom’ styled , I will endeavour to correct this. 
I would appreciate another previously named User who has a COI to edit objectively and/or contribute to the article instead of seemingly destructive mass deletion.

thread_title:  COI 

message: Editor "Robskarin" has removed a large section of the article that is fully referenced - they also regularly edit other artists that they manage in a professional capacity. The user is Rob Skarin, who currently manages Paul Draper (see https://crystalspotlight.com/about/) and is obviously wanting to remove anything that could be considered negative, despite the detail being perfectly relevant.

replies: text: The username certainly makes it easy to draw that conclusion. I've asked  on their user talk page what their relationship is with Draper. —C.Fred (talk) 13:50, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Conflict Of Interest Issue 

message: I just removed the following:
In 2016, an online interview with Paul Draper was removed from the Backseat Mafia website, after he made numerous unsubstantiated allegations against former bandmate Dominic Chad. The website issues an apology to Chad, stating that "on February 1st we published an article which contained several unsubstantiated assertions about former Mansun guitarist Dominic Chad. We would like to unreservedly apologise for the upset which the article may have caused Mr Chad and his family for the short period it was online. We are all embarrassed and upset by the whole affair, and we must offer our heartfelt thanks to Dominic Chad for his understanding, reason and his kind acceptance of our apologies".
The Backseat Mafia source does not mention Draper by name. Accordingly, I don't see any way to connect him to the incident. In the absence of further sourcing, I've removed this text from the article. —C.Fred (talk) 14:44, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed controversies text 

message: * Why have I put the deleted text on the talk page? Well, it was longstanding in the article, and I feel it's more transparent to explain why it was removed than have it vanish without discussion. There have also been enough COI edits that I want transparency about the reasons for the deletion and an opportunity for rebuttal and presentation of reliable sources for the material in question. —C.Fred (talk) 17:32, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
