Thanks for this edit but {{

It seems a pity to miss out especially as such an important album and it was high in his All Time Top 1000 Albums bookI think Larkin's (Colin Larkin)books generally have more cred than say The Independent newspaper - and maybe a couple of others. It seems a bit USA heavy also - but by all means weave into the text -- I have a copy of the last 5th Concise edition and can copy the text if you want to take a quote?Muso805 (talk) 23:03, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Muso805! I was told by User:JG66 that you might own a copy of the 3rd edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000) and I was hoping you could provide me the page number and ranking of David Bowie's Hunky Dory (1971) in that edition? It's ranked 16th in the 2nd edition (1998) but I wanted to see if I could get the ranking in the third as well. Thanks! – zmbro _(talk) 14:14, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zmbro. Happy to assist, although I thought I had already added this information on the Hunky Dory entry? It is number 23 in the listing and appears on page 45 of the 3rd Edition. Kind regardsMuso805 (talk) 15:25, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Zmbro, I've just noticed it refers to 2nd edition, I did not update it for some reason Muso805 (talk) 15:28, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Muso805, thank you for fixing the David Crosby entry on The Venue (Victoria Street, London) page, do you have a source for that concert, or how do you know it was just David rather than the duo with Nash? I've tried doing a search to find a citation for it myself but have come up empty. Thanks, Rob. Robman94 (talk) 16:13, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I was there, he did two shows that night as the audience was sparse. Crosby verbally abused me from the stage when I jokingly said something regarding the second song. I was with my dear friend Johnny Rogan who interviewed him in his hotel that night. There is a photograph of my original ticket stub in Johnnys book on Crosby Stills Nash and Young on page 126, top left corner.Muso805 (talk) 16:19, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, to be verbally abused by David Crosby, that's cool and it sucks all at once. Do you recall what you said to him and what he said back? I added Johnny's book as a reference for the concert entry. Cheers, Rob. Robman94 (talk) 16:45, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rob, I am happy share this with you, but not on Wiki as it might cause problems, but if you contact me direct on my email I can reveal all [email protected], thanksColin Larkin (talk) 08:50, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits seem to consist of adding references by Colin Larkin to multiple articles. Do you have any connection at all to Colin Larkin? Notfrompedro (talk) 12:46, 4 August 2021 (UTC) No, but massive fan and keen to see the EPM alongside All Music Guide and Rolling Stone 500 books as they portray the American side of things and we need a balance. I am English.[reply]

So you have no connection at all yet Colin Larkin has shown up on this talk page to answer questions? How? Notfrompedro (talk) 12:50, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No but I have passed various talk items to him via his website and he usually replies. I do have an email contact address as well if you wish to contactMuso805 (talk) 12:54, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you regularly communicate with Larkin then you do have a connection to him. Editing on his behalf to promote him is a

conflict of interest. Notfrompedro (talk) 13:00, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply

Please don't be so silly - this is not conflict of interestMuso805 (talk) 13:06, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

MrOllie

suspected as much, and while I didn't agree with the way MrOllie went about this at the time, I was completely wrong to support Muso805 (and I apologise wholeheartedly to Ollie now for that, and for my rudeness to him as the issue escalated).

Seeing this edit from October 2019 made me realise – user:Colin Larkin posts at another editor's talk page not only as if he is Muso805 but in response to the editor pinging Muso805. The COI concerns are very valid, and this has been going on for several years. JG66 (talk) 11:49, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

JG66, no hard feelings. Also see this pair of edits,

MrOllie: Well, yes indeed. And it's there again in the David Crosby at the Venue thread above this one, where Colin Larkin magically arrives to continue a personal anecdote that Muso805 was recounting

.

Very good of you to be so gracious about the 2019 situation, btw. I'm embarrassed at having been taken in by this behaviour and for, I suspect, influencing other editors that there was nothing untoward going on – because Muso805 has been prolific in his COI editing since then. Do you have any experience in how to proceed in matters like this? (If you wouldn't mind pinging me, because I'm not watching the page – thanks.) JG66 (talk) 00:27, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
