"Despite knowing that he had killed a protected animal, Palmer subsequently inquired about killing a large elephant."
Where did you conjure up "Despite knowing that he had killed a protected animal" and juxtaposing it against an elephant? I didn't see in the source where he knew anything (the guide may have known). Nor do I see how synthing a relationship to an elephant is supported. It is legal tohunt lions and elephants in that country. The presumption is innocence. I corrected your post as a BLP violation that isn't supported by sources. --DHeyward (talk) 10:22, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
Mexicano 777

@AntonioMartin:I still think they are the same person. The article Mad Lion includes this: "Mad Lion was featured on a track in which he did a duet with Puerto Rican [NOT London] Reggaeton artist Mexicano 777". So the page Mexicano 777 redirected to Mad Lion is the same person as the Puerto Rican rapper. Unless you are suggesting there are TWO Mexicano 777's in Puerto Rico?

LRB refs needed
Latest comment: 8 years ago8 comments2 people in discussion
I'm still wading through the article, my focus is on their general history at the moment. However, could I get your help finding better sources for:
"They have sold more than 25 million records" (total was last updated in 2007): The onlymelbourne ref is not reliable for charting or sales data.
""Reminiscing", written by Goble, was recognised by BMI as one of the most frequently played songs in the history of American radio, with more than five million plays. "Lady" has also accumulated more than three million plays. Goble is the only Australian songwriter ever to win a Five Million Air award from BMI.": O'Connor ref is not reliable for air play data.
If we can't get an RS for either of these then they should be removed from the article.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 09:04, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
@Shaidar cuebiyar: I have tagged most of these with reliable sources. The problem is Reminiscing's Five Million-Air Award, which is mainly sourced to Goble's website (a primary source?) I'll keep looking ... WWGB (talk) 11:24, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
Yeah, I see you're doing well – thanks for those. I'm muddling through the late 70s stuff.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 11:30, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
"Take It Easy on Me"
LRB were already in conflict with Birtles, Goble and Shorrock not getting along too well over "Cool Change" and "Reminiscing": read Kruger, here. Their internal politics is convoluted and difficult to simplify for clarity and concision. Much of what you say about "Take It Easy on Me" corroborates the turmoil extant between various members. I suggest putting a brief note in the main article, more in the album's article and the quote you've found in the single's article.
Currently I'm up to We Two Pty Ltd of 1987: which I believe to be the kernel of the future legal, media and emotional battles. I hope to maintain a neutral tone and present the various sides of the issues in an even-handed manner.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 12:25, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
Awards
Aren't the RIAA Awards already in LRB's discography as certifications?
Do you know anything about the BMI Awards? See here, they have ten songs awarded there but I can't see when or in what categories. Are these the same as the air play awards?shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 07:17, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
Fair enough, I will remove the table and just add a hatnote.
I have never found a comprehensive list of BMI Awards, including Million-Air Awards. They seem to be scattered throughout BMI news items. For example, here is a reference to the Three Million-Air Award for "Lady". May have to rely on secondary sources, where they exist.
Yes, put it in a table with the other awards. I remember seeing that but then I got distracted elsewhere.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 09:09, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
More charting?
I've expanded the related discography article. Some of the additional charting (Europe & NZ) may be notable enough for the main article but I'll leave that for you to decide. I'm moving on.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 13:51, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
Station transclusions

Hi. Please don't speedy-delete things while I'm still building them. Obviously an incomplete section makes no sense – I think you got a bit trigger-happy. :) Mqst north (talk) 08:48, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
@Mqst north: A breakout "article" like South West Rail Link/Stations is pointless and against Wikipedia guidelines. WWGB (talk) 08:53, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
It is for transclusions. Lists of stations appear in a number of contexts in multiple articles. But my point is, if you would like to suggest a better way to achieve the same thing, by all means do it via a Talk page. Mqst north (talk) 08:55, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
That is what templates are for - not other meaningles articles.Fleet Lists (talk) 12:04, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
It should be noted that this user has a dislike for templates as, against consensus, he has removed standard platform boxes and direction of travel from many stations including Bomaderry railway station see talk page for discussion and also on his own talk page User talk:Mqst north#A bit of free adviceFleet Lists (talk) 12:21, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

You removed the Sanctions template without discussion. [1]. You don't get to decide this. Please revert and restore. Legacypac (talk) 03:16, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
@Legacypac: ISIL was not involved in the incident, so no template. By the way, what satisfaction does it give you to run around Wikipedia adding templates? WWGB (talk) 03:17, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
It's basically required to notify users of these sanctions. Your removal does not exempt you from the sanctions. Legacypac (talk) 03:37, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
I've started an Edit Warring case to get a declaration on the point. I am not seeking a block against you.[2]Legacypac (talk) 04:16, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
