Talk:Midge Ure

message: "He twice received an Ivor Novello Award with Geldof for co-writing "Do They Know It's Christmas?" "  That makes no sense at all.  Did he receive TWO Novello Awards for ONE SONG?  This needs to be clarified.  It should be stated what year(s) he won the award or awards, and what those awards were for.  Does he SHARE the award with Geldof?  Does he share one and have one for himself?  The article needs (1) the correct information (2) a citation for that information and (3) the information to be expressed clearly and succinctly.

message: wow.  what did midge get those degrees for?  how did you hear about this?  could you please elaborate on the degrees... generally honorary doctorates are awarded for some kind of stated reason; it would be interesting and culturally significant to list the reasons here.  was it for the charity work?  The use of borrowed chords in pop music?  Also, it would be super great if you could cite your sources or references.  If you don't know how to cite them, just slam them right into the text of the article.  Someone will figure out how to sort them out and make them follow wiki style.  The sources can be websites or newspapers (please add the date of publication and page #) or a magazine, anything.  It's really cool to have sources.  Thanks for your work on the Midge Ure article!

message: Hi, I'm adding more subtitles and information (bands like Slik and Rich Kids).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.230.125.214 (talk) 05:41, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  More subtitles 

message: A very minor point, but regarding the entry -
"Intimate Moments: April 12th - 22nd 2002 - (2002, Environment Records, ENV03) - Live album. Released exclusively via the web site."
- Midge also (personally) sold this album directly to the audience at the end of (later) gigs on this solo tour, which is how I acquired my copy. I imagine the same may apply to "Intimate Moments 2 . . .". 87.81.230.195 (talk) 14:29, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minor Discography detail 

message: "In late 2010 Ultravox started working (sic) their sixth album fronted by Ure."
yet later it also says:
"Ultravox briefly reformed in 2009 and undertook a successful tour (as well as appearing at the Isle of Wight 2009 Festival) to celebrate, in their own words, the "anniversary of their classic line-up". There are, however, no plans for new recordings as Ure stated in a BBC interview in April 2009, "we are not trying to get our youth back, nor the hair that's fallen off already".
I've removed the misleading contradictory statement as his official site confirms new material being recorded.

message: The explanation for the deletion of Breathe_(Midge_Ure_album) reads kinda strange! Can someone check that out? Thx, 85.179.11.188 (talk) 11:47, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe it was speedy-deleted as per WP:CSD#G1. I don't see a problem in re-creating it. Breathe didn't chart in the UK (OCC gives only up to 75 positions) or US; but it peaked at #22 in Switzerland and #10 in Austria. It also included the single "Breathe" which had some success. --Sk4170 (talk) 13:13, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

message: I've reduced the number of genres in the info box to the five he would principally be associated with. Five seems sufficient since even David Bowie only has five and I'm sure Midge would be the first to admit he hasn't covered more musical ground than David Bowie.
