Talk:Bryan Adams/Archive 1

message: Ok, so it's no biggie - but as this is a page for BA, if a middle name exists, it should go here.

so why, michelle, are you removing it? it's not about "doctoring" details to make someone look better - wikipedia is about the facts. So to remove it without comment, noting nothing more than "removing spam", is a bit rubbish. If "Guy" is not BA's middle name at birth, fine - change it to the correct name - but if it is, why dont you leave it alone?
Hi!
Thanks for your note.
We have been dealing with this for years. 
His middle name was never Guy, i have his passport details here at the office. Plus, not on any single album of BA's has he ever used the name Guy and we assume this weird fact comes from his being born on Guy Fawkes day.
Thanks for the links we will address them asap.
Best

message: Bryan Adams guested with Def Leppard in 1993 for a live cover of Bad Company's "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love". I'm finally getting around to adding my signature.

message: Hi
I am consitantly removeing references to work done previous to BA's musical history because it is factually incorrect.
ie: BA did not play music in any schools in Canada, and did not live in France for several years.
Whoever keeps putting these notes up, please respect my letter and changes, as I work with BA everyday.
Thank you very much!

I object to the characterization you made on User_talk:Mel_Etitis that I am "cyber-attacking" you.  As I noted above, you're the one who comes in here and make what appeared to be suspicious changes.  I only hope that Mr. Adams doesn't share your manners.  --Nlu 01:11, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm afraid that making edits on the basis that you know best isn't acceptable here.  Can you provide some evidence for your assertions?  There are a few Wikipedia articles on people whom I know personally (and one on me); I can't edit them on the basis of personal knowledge (see Wikipedia:No original research — I have to provide citations like anyone else. --Mel Etitis  (Μελ Ετητης) 09:05, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  edits to BA page 

message: I emailed Michelle on info_at_bryanadams.com and she confirmed that it was her who made the changes to the article. It's the official site and, yes, she is the real McCoy. Mel should back down and let Michelle have the last word on this one.
Unfortunatelly, Mel will not do this; not because he's stubborn and not because he disagrees, but because he gets a kick from:
1. Pissing people off; and
2. Angering and upsetting people.
Sorry, Michelle, but this guy is a lost cause. You're not the first user to have your words ripped apart by him. More info:

message: Setting hysterical adolescents aside: Michelle, if you open an editing account (free, easy, no strings) your edits can be tracked, and people can reply to you on your personal Talk page rather than here.  Then, no matter where you're editing from, and what IP address you use, you'll always have the same editing name and page.
I hope that my explanation was clear concerning our policies on original research and the citing of sources.  If you're right, then there will surely be some way of demonstrating that — some source (preferably on-line, but a book or other printed material would do) to which you can point. --Mel Etitis  (Μελ Ετητης) 18:24, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for giving the source.  Could you give the details here, and I'll add them to a sources section in the article (the edit summary is a bit confusing; is it an anthology edited by someone, or a book called "Anthology" written by someone?). --Mel Etitis  (Μελ Ετητης) 10:30, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

text: My pleasure. I've left a message on your User talk page. --Mel Etitis  (Μελ Ετητης) 09:50, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: A search on "bryan adams", and "andrew catlin" produced only a 1995 book; adding "anthology" or "dave marsh" produced nothing relevant. What we need are the title, author (or editor), and ISBN if possible. --Mel Etitis  (Μελ Ετητης) 13:01, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Honestly, I don't think that we need to create a disambig page for "Bryan Adams" as the singer is by far the most notable Bryan Adams, but if someone types "Bryan Adams" into wikipedia looking for the hockey player, they need to be directed to the right place. In your revert, you said that I should create a sparate listing. Where do you suggest I create that separate listing? Many other pages have the "others" mentioned at the top of the page. Look at National Hockey League. It has three "others" mentioned at the top. Why should Bryan Adams be any different than many other pages? I am putting Bryan Adams (hockey player) back at the top of this page. If you have a better solution, please tell me. I am open to other solutions. Masterhatch 17:19, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

message: According to 
Adams took part in writing song Edge of A Dream, which he performs along with Helen Hoffner on her album Wild About Nothing. Someone with better knownledge on the subject could add a note to the article. Maybe to "Songs written for other artists"-section? --Easyas12c 01:51, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

message: To add a bit more about Bryan's life in British Columbia specifically.  It is interesting that he received the Order of British Columbia but no mention of the period of his life that he spent there.  Can anyone fill in the specific dates?  I'd be interested.  Thanks, WIKIPEDIAVI 16:24, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I noted that this was removed as 'repeated information'.  Can you direct me to the location on the page which this statement repeats?  When I first edited it, I did not see any reference to Bryan's life in the Vancouver area. (and I still don't).  I beleived that Bryan was still living in North Vancouver at the time he was starting to enjoy his early success.  I found it interesting that none of this was mentioned in the article.

message: There are several songs that should be added to the "Odd Recordings" section, however, I don't know their release dates:
*Crei morir e ir al cielo (Thought I'd Died And Gone To Heaven - Spanish)
*(Todo Lo Que Hago) Lo Hago Por Ti (Everything I Do - Spanish)
*Io Vivo (I'm Ready - Italian)

message: Maybe this is trivial, but shouldn't it be mentioned that in Bryan's early career he was in Sweeney Todd?  He replaced Nick Gilder.  Just thought that might be worth mentioning.
:Yes, it should.  This page contains a very poor description of Adams' life and career.  88.108.177.37 00:42, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm not 100% sure about this but isn't "summer of 69" perhaps his biggest hit. It's not mentioned anywhere in the article Canking 20:23, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking at single sales, his biggest hit is (Everything I Do) I Do It for You. But i agree that Summer of '69 is also worth mentioning in the article. You can try to fit it in. Pardy 14:54, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you. As a minor fan, it was just something that had caught my attention when reading through the article. I actually am not familiar enough with his work to know where to put it in exactly so maybe it would be best left to somebody a little more knowledgable. Canking 01:15, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

message: In the article on Princess Diana, Bryan Adams is listed (and linked) in a list of puted paramours of the Princess.  I haven't a clue whether that's true of false, and I don't care, so I have made no edits.  However, the left hand should deal with what the right hand writes in an encyclopedia, so either this article, that article, or both need revision.  Michelle can help by providing the 'official line' from Mr. Adams's side. Lamabillybob 02:27, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There were rumours that they had a relationship.  Anyway, whether it's true or false, the 'official line' is bound to be "no".  Hero1701 23:42, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
