thread_title:  Source 

message: I'll second the request for a source or confirmation of the tracklist... specifically the DVD Visual Extras.  The info was just added yesterday, and I've not seen the BBC material or Midnight Special listed as being included from any other source except for wishful thinking in a fan forum.  It'd be great to have these, but don't tease the fans by presenting "hope so, maybe so" as fact.  It's already an epidemic here. 72.236.218.36 (talk) 17:49, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  BBC Nightride/Midnight Special... wishful thinking? 

message: ...it's NOT what Wikipedia is about.  If you want to postulate on what MAY be released in the future or what you would LIKE to have, keep it on the forums or start your own website... DO NOT vandalize Wikipedia articles.
I don't know exactly what the protocol is, but unless someone provides sources for the following recently-added information within the next few days, I'm going to revert the edits:
live boxed sets (beginning of article)
BBC Sessions (added at end of "bonus discs" section)

thread_title:  STOP the wishful thinking... 

message: The final four new tracks were recorded by Genesis for a BBC documentary about a painter named Jackson.  Does anyone know for sure what his full name was?
The Richard Macphail interview (see the footnotes) says his name might be Peter Jackson.  Most references on the web refer to either "Michael Jackson" or "Mick Jackson".  There are no British painters with Wikipedia articles under any of those three names.
:Okay, Hobbit-philes, it's definitely NOT Peter Jackson.  Reliable sources (though I don't have any handy at the moment) say it's Mick Jackson.  Recent references say Michael Jackson, which is most likely his given name, but I think we should stick with Mick to avoid confusion.  For the record, "Mick" and "Mickey" can both be short for Michael.  In fact, Mick Jagger's given name was Michael.
(In the U.K., is "Mick" always short for "Michael"?  Here in the U.S.A. this nickname is extremely rare, and could be "Mickey".) — Lawrence King (talk) 05:02, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If he was British, what we do here in the States is irrelevant.  You do realize the USA was largely settled by English colonists, right???  —Preceding unsigned comment added by MaxVolume (talk • contribs) 19:44, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Of course it's not revelant to his name.  I was explaining why I was asking the question.  If "Mick" in England always means Michael, then it might be permissible for us to say "Michael" on this page even though some sources say Mick and others say Michael.  If, OTOH, these are two different names, then we can't assert as a simple fact that his name is Michael.  And, in case any British readers thought this was a dumb question, I commented that in America we don't always do it this way.  (On an unrelated note, approximately sixteen of the fifty states were largely settled by English colonists; I'm from California, which is not one of those.) — Lawrence King (talk) 01:56, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
