Do you have a source?
Do you have a source? I nearly just removed it, but in view of your extensive editing of similar topics, I thought I would ask first... thanks!--Jimbo Wales (talk) 11:56, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
- Hey Jimbo. You know it's really, really great to hear directly from you. Just fabulous. I'm about to add reference to the article, but here is the direct quote from Robert Plant himself:
"Great Britain- it's been five glorious days... and if you see Denis Healey... tell him we've gone". - Led Zepplelin: The 'Tight But Loose' Files; Celebration 2 By Dave Lewis
Plant had sarcastically dedicated "In my time of dying" to Healey for the tax exile and related problems the band was facing. It's a well-known event in the history of Zep, and also mentioned on the song's article, so I considered adding it to Denis Healey's article.
Again, you're doing great work, sir! I'm one of your biggest fans... This fact, I hope, doesn't need a source :-) Best Regards and Greetings, Scieberking (talk) 13:30, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
- - Book ref - Led Zepplelin: The 'Tight But Loose' Files; Celebration 2 - By Dave Lewis - here - text - Page 39 - During those shows (Earls Court) Plant threw in more than one barbed comment regarding their upcoming forced exile, "Somebody voted for someone and now everybody's on the run, You know Dennis (Healey, then Chancellor of the Exchequer) ,,,no artist left in the country anymore, he must be Dazed and Confused! Led Zeppelin played their final night at Earls Court on Sunday May 25, 1975. Plant commenting, "This is our last concert in England for some considerable time. Still their is always the Eighties." His parting shot was equally to the point, "If you see Dennis Healey tell him we've gone!" The nest day Plant and his wife Maureen flew to Agadir.... Page 34 ...at the close of a thrilling "In My Time of Dying". and keeping up his Healey references with a "bye bye Dennis" in the song's close. - Page 35 - Great Britain - it's been five glorious days,,, and if you see Dennis Healey,,, tell him we've gone - Robert Plant May 25, - Copied from the book for educational purposes please be aware of copyright if republishing - ... They flew out as tax exiles a few days later he was in a pretty bad car crash with his wife and children, broke his leg I think and his wife was pretty badly injured, fractured skull broken pelvis - changed his life the tax exile issue did, recuperated in Jersey (the Island) and moved to the states, Malibu. - San Fransisco Candy Store Rock - I think it wasn't until Knebworth 1979 that they appeared in the UK again. The video of the dazed and confused where he mentions Dennis at the start is here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKZRcYkaEag&feature=related - Off2riorob (talk) 15:06, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
- Hey Rob. Hope you doing great. I've already used this reference, and in fact there's another one on "LZ-'75: THE LOST CHRONICLES OF LED ZEPPELIN'S 1975 AMERICAN TOUR MUSIC AND BANDS" by Stephen Davis. Regards, Scieberking (talk) 15:16, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
- Ah, well done for that. Yea, I am doin fine, thank you. Off2riorob (talk) 15:26, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Hey
Hey, Scieberking how you doing ? I'm fine. I think I might of started something. I reverted Indopug edits yesterday at Led Zeppelin but, I think we can make this a WP:MOS or something for all infamous band articles, see Led Zeppelin#Trivia. I see you"ve already been hard at work at Zeppelin, Cool, there is a lot of band pages with the same issues. Mlpearc powwow 15:54, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
- Hello. I'm doing good. Thanks a bunch and I'd love to work on other articles, too. Greetings. Scieberking (talk) 18:27, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
Talk:List of best-selling music artists
I have a suggestion posted at Talk:List of best-selling music artists. Your thoughts would be appreciated.--Harout72 (talk) 20:31, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the barnstar, it feels good to be appreciated :).--Harout72 (talk) 07:07, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

| Hi there! I thought you might be interested in WikiProject Wikify's April Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive. We'll be trying to reduce the backlog to 18,000 articles and we need your help! Hard-working participants in the drive will receive awards for their contributions! If you have a spare moment, please join and wikify an article or tell your friends. Thanks! Note: The drive started April 1, but you can still join! |
Led Zeppelin
We came to a conclusion on how to treat the info box a couple of weeks ago. We had about 5 people in the discussion and all but one agreed on the policy and the rationale of the decision. I understand that you weren't there, but please, please don't change the article while the discussion is ongoing. Now, we basically have one extremely disruptive editor and you arguing against a conclusion reached a few weeks ago. I am not saying that you won't win this discussion, but can we please agree on a fair process, instead of just continually reverting? Let's start a new section and make our arguments again, and give the several editors who weighed in on this last time an opportunity to be heard again. I don't see why this needs to devolve into an edit war.LedRush (talk) 12:46, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
- Hello LedRush. Hope you're doing great. It's not about winning a discussion but the points made by other parties were really, really lame, and I really think I can easily overthrow them. Also, Greatorangepumpkin has withdrawn his support in favor of the old order of genres. I'd be happy to quit the discussion if you want me to. After all, it's not a big issue at all.

Coloring
This is regarding the removal of coloring from the List of highest-grossing Bollywood films. The arguments provided by Fae are as follows :-
- It fails MOS.
- It fails RECENT.
Perhaps you could kindly explain to me why these two rules apply so strictly to the said list, and do not apply for the List of highest-grossing films? AnkitBhatt 13:07, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
- Scieberg, this has to be the lamest excuse. And Fae is clearly using it to his advantage. I seriously doubt his neutrality, and suggest that you talk it over with him. The way he's coolly citing innumerable Wiki Policies, i doubt he'll listen to a stranger. AnkitBhatt 13:44, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry Scieberg, no luck there. i did that before, but he reverted it back insisting on talk page consensus. AnkitBhatt 14:11, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
- Than what about the Hollywood list? AnkitBhatt 14:24, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
- I'm afraid so :(. And that almost certainly means I'll again have trouble with WP:ANI. Such is life. AnkitBhatt 14:32, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
- I did see the section. The problem is, where will the consensus come from? For the past few days, nobody has actually bothered to take a look at this article (and they are justified, nobody wants to see a sore thumb like this, me included). I may have to ask the involved editors, but Fae will call that canvassing. What to do? Anyways, I'll give it a try. AnkitBhatt 14:41, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
