Talk:William Beckett (singer)

message: I just happened to chance upon this article and WOW! It could pretty much use a total rewrite. It's very confusing in the way it's arranged and worded, not to mention very little of it is biographical. The majority of the article is really just trivia. If no one else is willing to do the legwork, I'll do it but I really only have a passing interest in Mr. Beckett.63.3.71.134 20:37, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Hi. I'm not familiar with his work, though I monitor the article for vandalism. I have added a  tag requesting a source and a  tag indicating that the assertion is doubted. If nobody comes up with a source, then you may want to go ahead and cut the line in a couple of days, as it does not meet our verifiability policy. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:42, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Is there a source for the whole marriage deal or is it the work of some errant fangirl? Even absolutepunk, notorious gossips of the world of alternative music have nothing on the subject, which most likely means it isn't true... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.126.149.72 (talk • contribs) June 20 2008
:It's typical of the vandalism this article gets. If the history of this article is to be believed, the man has been married more times than Liz Taylor. It's gone. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:09, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

message: that new last paragraph of the Reviews section doesn't sound right or correct honestly it sounds nothing like him and it says "...the band's show's seem more like "The William Beckett Show, with backing music"" then it goes on to say that it's because of his "off-stage behavior" the show would be on stage and other bands would know that the lead singer is usually the most prominent of the group at least while they are performing and he doesn't seclude himself much as far as I know(okay that parts my opinion also my opinion and many others he's a very sweet guy)
it's either completly false or less likely taken out of context

replies: text: Hi. You can tag it  to request sources. At this point, though, I've simply removed it, requesting sources if it is restored. (It represented a concern under our biographies of living persons policy.) The previous paragraph in that section is a problem, too, though not for BLP reasons. iTunes is a commercial site, and so it is not a reliable source by Wikipedia's definition. If the article is to include reviews of Beckett's performances, it should utilize reviews from sources that are not designed to sell albums. :) I wonder if Rolling Stone has anything to say. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:01, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  how do you add a reference request 

message: are fansites appropriate links? I'd think they'd be more appropriate for the whole band article if they are not solely dedicated to him Musicobsessed6 (talk) 05:46, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Generally, only official ones. Fansites are listed at WP:ELNO as "Links normally to be avoided". --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:07, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: okay, thanks as far as I know they don't have any official fansites I had deleted them off this article already but now I've went and deleted them off the bands article too Musicobsessed6 (talk) 21:37, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

message: how do birthday's usually get cited? there was some stuff from when it was his birthday Wendsday but the most official is stuff from their fanclub one on the logged on news page and the other was from the audio of a performance that was intended to be an exclusive download(someone disrespected their wishes and leaked it to non-members) and that part isn't on a live video at least that I could find. Friends or Enemies did post this  but I didn't think it was near official enough and what he posted it's not saying out right February 11th is my birthday it's just adds up to it I guess it would be  Musicobsessed6 (talk) 01:45, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That seems like a solid enough source. I don't think it crosses the line into speculation. :) Are you asking about the proper form of the citation or if the source is reliable? --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:59, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  if it was reliable. which one were you talking about FoE or William's blog? Musicobsessed6 (talk) 14:56, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

text: I wasn't sure which one you were referring to so I guess the FoE one but if that is not the one you said seemed solid enough I can fix it or you could whichever Musicobsessed6 (talk) 18:42, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry. I didn't see that you had responded I meant the official blog seemed solid enough, not Friends or enemies. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:54, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  okay thanks, I fixed it Musicobsessed6 (talk) 23:27, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  birthday 

message: I did not think it is relevant yet if it is at all because who knows if it'll even be released someone said on the The Academy Is... Livejournal they didn't let her release some of her darker stuff who's to say they don't prevent this but it was the whole twitter I don't think that was really relevant to include one of his twitter posts. sorry if it was incorrect to have removed that revert it if nessisary but I don't think it need be included till officially released. sorry if I worded that confusingly Musicobsessed6 (talk) 03:09, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  concerning edits to the day of his birthday 

message: He admitted on having a baby and getting engaged with his fiance Christine Bandy in the newest issue of Alternative Press (Issue number 256). http://i34.tinypic.com/10zbfh3.jpg. Someone needs to add that. W nonsense (talk) 05:02, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems to be in the "Personal life" section. However, we can't link to tinypic, because that image is a copyright infringement. Can you give more information about the article? We need the title of the article and the author of the piece at least. I can see from the tinypic that will have to be removed that the reference is on page 84. Evidently the official publication date of this magazine is November. Has somebody leaked part of an advanced copy, or are they just that far ahead of themselves? --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:30, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
