thread_title:  Title 

message: This really doesn't sum up, Ron was supposed to record track for the album from space  but was killed in challenger disaster 28 January 1986. But the same Ron was supposed to play live from space in April for Texas concert. No space shuttle could ever stay for that long in space and I really don't think Ron was supposed to go on another flight just month after the last one. Sijambo (talk) 11:29, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The plan was to use the video recording of his "in space" (January) performance, projected onto nearby buildings at the concert in April.  The "in space" aspect seems to have led to the popular misunderstanding that it would be a live hook-up, despite the fact that a synchronised feed from an orbiting shuttle would have been highly impractical.  (Disregarding the likelihood of launch delays, the transmission distance would vary by hundreds of miles during a 3-minute continuous radio link and any relaying would add further complicating factors.)  I have removed the "live from space" reference.  Mrstonky (talk) 13:27, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

message: I removed the Zappa quote mainly because it appears in a section called "Influence", and the quote does nothing at all to suggest that Zappa was in any way influenced by McLaughlin, nor have I heard this suggested anywhere else.

I don't think the Zappa quote belongs anywhere else in the article either, though, considering that Zappa never played with McLaughlin, consistently disavowed jazz, and was never a professional music critic. Moreover, the quote conveys no real information (McLaughlin can play fast but Zappa doesn't always like what McLaughlin plays? So what and who cares?) TheScotch (talk) 10:32, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Possibly the editor concerned knows a variant of the story where Ruatapu is a woman.

It's not a very well-thought-out categorization. Some people convicted of manslaughter are currently classified as murderers. No distinction is made between being accused of murder, committing murder, or being convicted of murder.
