comments (during initial article-creation phase)[edit]

I believe I have improved the article and wish to resubmit. However I cannot see how to re-submit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barry Shrimpton (talk • contribs) 14:30, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I believe the article has been improved as per your comments, despite being slightly confused by them. However hopefully the article is now suitable for your approval. Many thanks Barry Barry Shrimpton (talk) 11:22, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article still has no inline citations and contains numerous examples of unencyclopedic tone ("After much consideration and speculation the band eventually put pen to paper", "two of the UK’s deadliest ascendants from the rock underground on one knock-out bill", "finest export deafly[sic] combined a freaky shadowy figure", etc.) that's not a quotation from someone who gets to be colorful.

Hi - Think I finally got my head around what was missing with regard to the inline citations. Hopefully I have rectified the situations as well as removing any unencyclopedic sentences. I would therefore be very grateful if you could take just one last review of the article. Very much appreciated - Barry Barry Shrimpton (talk) 21:51, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The references look a million times better. Thank you. The prose is still a bit iffy; maybe some of the folks at the Guild of Copy Editors could lend a hand. Danger ^{High voltage!} 18:20, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - Will do and thanks again 90.202.18.206 (talk) 12:39, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
