Re your msg of 18 August: be glad to help with a MIDI WikiProject. It has been quite a while since I glanced through many articles, but as I recall most were created piecemeal BC (before CITATIONS) and were helpful but not well integrated. I'm familiar with the electronics and specs (programmed some translation tables once) and still have a couple of reference books somewhere. Twang (talk) 03:11, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Nice work on the page for List of progressive rock bands
Sulfurboy (talk) 10:16, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
Vital Articles/Expanded: include or delete Godzilla from the list of 50 all-time greatest movies?
Dementia, I have responded to your comment in the talk page discussion about the 1954 movie Godzilla, and I would ask you to reconsider your position. If you believe that the consequences of nuclear war and nuclear proliferation are not given sufficient attention on the overall VA/E list of topics, I would suggest that you address that by proposing the addition of other directly related topics to the VA/E list. Using Godzilla as some sort of "proxy" for addressing this issue avoids the more important question of what topics directly related to nuclear war and nuclear proliferation should be included. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 14:28, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
Progressive rock
Hi Dementia 13,
As you have noticed, I have updated the
As you also would have noticed, 42 of these 43 updates were "legitimate" updates. Therefore, you must be scratching your head as to why an established Wikipedia editor such as myself (who is willing to spend so much time and energy in cleaning up two articles) would also be willing to "vandalise" an article.
This is the "vandalism" edit I am referring to: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_progressive_rock_bands&diff=prev&oldid=556673891
This "vandalism" was a complete accident. Let me explain...
I was editing articles (mostly on
That "next stint" in question (02:09-03:56 on May 25), I edited articles mostly on
However, having been reading the page for quite a while, I completely forgot it was an older revision. See revision in question: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_progressive_rock_bands&oldid=556452435
All I intended to do for this particular edit was to change "Amon Duul II" so it read "Amon Düül II". Having realised my error, I am completely mortified and can only apologise for deleting what appears to be 4-5 hours worth of edits.
Having explained the circumstances surrounding my edit, it is hopefully clear to you that my edit was made in good faith.
I would therefore like to ask you if you wouldn't mind amending the comments you made on my talk page to reflect this and ultimately remove the warning.
I take the comments on board regarding future tweaks on the Progressive rock article and I won't be making any alterations to the article in the near future.
All the best,

Neo-Prog & Twelfth Night
OK, not sure if this is the correct medium to put the case.
My main angle is being an "eye witness" in the early 80's and seeing a lot of those bands on a regular basis. Twelfth Night were one of the more innovative of the neo-progs (as they now seem to be termed) with more of a harsh edge (reflecting the realities of a country in decline and influence of harsher punk & NWOBHM music) and with some very experimental segments, along with rockier parts, and not just reproducing that early Genesis sound that most of the others seemed to aspire to. Other bands were on the scene, but Solstice were not around much and I'm afraid I'd not heard of Saga until reading this article.
It is difficult to find supporting evidence, as the music papers of the time don't seem to be online and I won't be trying to find physical copies!
A few fleeting references I've found online:
Rocking the Classics: Edward Macan References to the Marquee Club playing a seminal role for prog, and whilst referencing a number of the bands, it states "Twelfth Night was something of an unofficial house band in the 80s"
Not sure if you are willing to accept other websites as valid sources:
http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=339
"The "MANN-era" music will live on in prog as being something particularly special, as it goes several steps further than even FISH-era MARILLION, with whom the band are often (mistakenly) compared"
http://www.trebuchet-magazine.com/twelfth-night-live-and-let-live/ "Back in the early 1980s, The Reading-based band Twelfth Night were one of the leading lights of the so-called “Neo-prog” movement: the second wave of prog-rock bands who combined the complexity and ambition of progressive rock with the DIY ethos of punk."
Update: Dec 2015: The original list of examples has been removed from the article, so this latest addition is "for the record". In the 2015 Progzilla Listener's poll (http://www.progzilla.com/poll/), Twelfth Night were the only "neo-prog" band to make it into the top 10. TN had 6 entries in the top 100 (8,25,32,36,40,54) average postion 32, compared to Marillion (also 6 entries but 13,34,57,82,87,89, so all lower placed than Twelfth Night equivalent and only averaging position 60; IQ only had 3 entries, Pallas 1 and Saga don't feature at all. This could support the argument that Twelfth Night have a much greater legacy than they are credited with by authors are quoted as "references" but who are probably compiling hearsay and weren't actually present at the time.
By the way, the Marillion music clip attached to this article is not a good representation of the style. Marillion became a lot more mainstream after the departure of Fish, so to provide a useful reference, you really need something from the Fish era.....

Your GA nomination of Progressive rock
The article Progressive rock you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Progressive rock for comments about the article. Well done! In particular, during my brief time on the article, I've also been impressed at your diligence at keeping the article focused and on topic, and not degenerating into a "here's a list of everyone's favourite bands" article (as Mellotron still is), so well done for that.
