Talk:Daz Sampson

message: Does anyone know what his real name is? I doubt that 'Daz' is what's on his passport . . . ;) Dbratton 23:00, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Never mind, it's Darren. I should have done some research before asking. I'll update to show this. Dbratton 23:03, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Also added a redirect from Darren Sampson to this page. Dbratton 23:14, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

text: In English law, a person's "real name" is not what is stated on his/her passport (if they even have one) but (short of fraud) whatever they choose it to be. --Ross UK 17:09, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Real name?

message: Thank you to the editor who has actually provided sources for the modifications that s/he made, they improve the quality of the article immesurably.  However given that one of the quotes was potentially inflammatory and unsourced, I have taken it out for now.  But if you can find a link to the article in question (or even any other article with similar sentiments) please feel free to put it back in and source it.  --Stenun 13:12, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  12th May Edit - Daily Record 

message: I'm protecting this page again, given the near-constant pointless juvenile edits that are being made by anonymous users. Hopefully the vandalism will taper off after Eurovision on the 20th of May. Dbratton 13:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You have to be an admin to protect pages, simply adding the notice doesn't do it automatically. See Wikipedia:Requests for page protection, but I don't think protection is needed and I'm not sure other admins would. The vandalism problem isn't that serious, and this article is going to need updating soon. the wub "?!" 15:50, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I underestimated the seriousness of a semi-protect - I should have done more than just skim the associated article. Thanks for the info, and hopefully editors here will be able to keep things under control. :) Dbratton 16:36, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

text: There's no way to make it NPOV. I intend to block anyone who adds references to Ian Huntley or related topics into this article. It's not right, so don't do it. End of discussion. --Lord Deskana Dark Lord of the Sith 10:01, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: So you mean there is no possible way, conceptually, to have a neutral point of view? In which case your whole wikipedia is fundamentally flawed. If you are suggesting it is just the subject matter, i would love to hear your justification for the existence of objective knowledge. -- A Disappointed reader.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.35.108.38 (talk • contribs) 20:00, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Making references to someone looking like Ian Huntley is not something to be taken lightly. --Lord Deskana Dark Lord of the Sith 19:21, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is somebody's personal point of view to whether he looks like Huntley, thus should not be included. Englishrose 21:29, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

text: A lot of people think he does look like Huntley and has styled his image on him - hence the schoolgirls.  Why is the sandwich maker getting so worked up about this? 81.19.57.146 12:03, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless you have something civil to say, or something that's not a personal attack, I'm not going to feed you, since you're obviously just trolling. --Lord Deskana Dark Lord of the Sith 12:11, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Protection 

message: The chart success is too over blown for a single that only made #12 in the sales charts. No need for it to be mentioned twice in long form. Also, the source that says he could have been responsible for the 10% growth in viewership is HIS OWN SITE. Cite another source that says the 10% growth is possibly due to him. It's highly doubtful. Did the viewing figures for Eurovision stay stagnant for years on end, then he came in and upped it 10% or do they go up and down every year depending on what people are doing at the time? His own website, which is made for the purpose of promoting him, is not enough for such a claim of success. 74.65.39.59 02:54, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am certainly no fan of Daz Sampson but see no problem with the current wording which is factual and accurate. Robertsteadman 16:10, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Removal Of Hype 

message: Interesting that another of his creations "Spacekats" whose music was featured in In the Groove seems to have disappeared. I wonder if it has anything to do with his brand new song Teenage Life being a bad ripoff of his older song (IMO) Teenage Life under the Spacekats name Xchbla423 05:31, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spacekats 

message: No way! What is the source? Eurovision entries don't become hits anymore in the Netherlands these days, except sometimes winners and our own entries. Not British entries that only ended #16. Dinsdagskind 23:05, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nr. 3 in Holland? 

message: I say tyhat the equal point position has only been settled on alphabetical term which is not correct. Where as the official rules regarding a tie-break state that the number of 12 points given to a country shall break the deadlock and as the UK got one set of 12 points (from malta) and France recieved zero twelve point scores the UK by the letter of the rules came 22nd not 23rd.--Lucy-marie 14:37, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that I read on the Eurovision Song Contest page that where there is a tie it is done based on which song got votes from the most countries. TomPhil 17:51, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

message: In this edit we say that Daz Sampson looks like a mass murderer. The comment is sourced to a blog site called www.hecklerspray.com. Any thoughts on this? Is it relevant if the guy looks like a mass murderer? (Half the people on the street do! Is the HecklerSpray website a reliable source? Lester 06:01, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a discussion on this higher up this page. There is no way that such content is appropriate in this article. It's unencyclopedic for a start, and a violation of WP:BLP.
