[edit] Virtual Bands

Is Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band not a virtual band? Their music was of course played by a real band, but so is the music of the Gorillaz, the sole difference being that the Gorillaz routinely release animated videos. But there were animated performances of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band as well, and unless I'm mistaken they sold more than seven million copies. Guinness is a joke. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Badmuthahubbard (talk • contribs) 12:58, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Hi, new here. Noticed some vandalism in the museums section, I don't want to screw anything up by trying to fix it. 75.153.95.203 (talk) 02:58, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Date of the Shooting-Party

in his personal Article Hugh Beaver was on this Party on the 10th of November, here it says the 4th of May - so what? -- Hartmann Schedel (talk) 22:10, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Remove Jim Pattison Group info box

This article has a large info box linked to Jim Pattison Group and its diverse products. This group has as the article states only owned Guinness World Records since early 2008, moreover the recent history of ownership has been one of change. This makes this info box inappropriate since

• the article is mostly about its history before this time.
• Further, info boxes should be fairly permanent features of an article and
• relate to its content in a manner that those visiting it might find useful.
• It is not the function of an info box to promote a company which this info box seems to be doing.
• It would be more appropriate to have an info box in its place concerned with other similar reference products.

There does not seem to be a procedure for information box deletion except to do an article edit. Does anyone else also feel this info box should be deleted from the article?--LittleHow (talk) 08:40, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
