Talk:Philip Selway

message: yeah, but I've watched interviews with Selway and for me it's a proven fact, that he is very polite and nice fellow. Also, most fans of Radiohead say about him that he is underrated and overlooked member, providing the rhythmic section of the band with complexity and variety. also, this is my article, so in fact I don't care what you think.
:I am not disputing the fact that he is a nice guy and a talented drummer. However, by saying that he is one of the friendliest members of Radiohead, one of the most underrated members etc. is to express an opinion, which goes against NPOV policy. Also, while you may be the major contributor, this article does not belong to you, by editing Wikipedia you are effectively releasing your work to the public. Rje 14:34, Apr 24, 2005 (UTC)
:To be fair I think it does need to be said - I have met Phil and he is possibly one of the nicest people you will ever meet. In regards to NPOV policy and think it is possible to include this. If you say something like "it is common opinion that" or something along those lines then I think this would be reasonable. Sebbi (2.9.2005)

message: His new album is released under the name of Philip Selway, and that is also how he is credited on Radiohead's latest record, In Rainbows. Should we change Phil to Philip?--Merijn2 (talk) 08:18, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

message: In an interview published here, he explicitly references the claim on this page and suggests it is inaccurate 
"According to one fraudulent online biography, Selway left an early incarnation of Radiohead called On A Friday to move to Ireland. "I spent time with friends in Bangor, let's say a lot of one single summer, so I'm not sure if that qualifies as living there," he says. "Wikipedia can be like a version of your alternative life! Well done, you've picked up on the biggest inaccuracy that's in there. I have looked at it, but then again you can't get too pedantic about it. But no, I didn't live half my life in Ireland prior to Radiohead!"
I haven't written much biographical stuff, so I'm happy for someone else to make a call on this, but we could reword "left On a Friday to move to Ireland" to something like "spent some time away from the band (in Bangor, Northern Ireland), but never officially left".

replies: text: , thanks for finding that! I've removed that claim from the article as it was uncited in the first place. I'm sure I've read in some biography somewhere that the band had to use a drum machine for a while without him, or something, but until we get a better source with more detail it's not worth keeping in.
