This really, really, needs to be wikified. I'll really try, but I can't make any promises. CincinnatiWiki 01:01, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Graham Barnes - Alias?

Alias: "A name that has been assumed temporarily." Thanks, Lion King 16:08, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Alvin Lee does not have an "alias" nor does he have a "stage" name. His legal name is Alvin Lee and I so wish people would stop altering his biography. Please feel free to contact me if you'd like - I am the webmaster of alvinlee.com and Alvin's official biographer. Leerocks12 13:13, 21 September 2007 (UTC)leerocks12

If "Alvin Lee" is now his legal name, the same criteria applies to him as it does to Bob Dylan. And please stop writing reviews for his new CD - Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia. See WP:NPOV Lion King 13:27, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't think correcting information (In Tennessee is not his most recent album, Saguitar is - and I don't think adding the words "Lee's newest album is Saguitar, released September 2007 is reviewing a CD. And while I see you are an extremely active Wikepedia editor but this is my official biography for Alvin - and yet you seem to refuse to allow me to update it. If Wikepedia is to have any credence at all, I think that the legitimate official biographies should remain unaltered. I'm really not trying to do battle here. I'm sure we both have more important things to do, so I would appreciate your leaving Alvin's biography to his biographer. Per Wikipedia's rules, my content is verifiable - is yours?

The way the article stands at the moment is fine - but please do not think that you proffesing to be "Alvin's" Biographer gives you any kind of authority over any other Wikipedia user. If your removal or additions to this article are verifiable then please cite them, (bearing in mind WP:NOR) there is already more than enough unsourced statements as there is in this article. If you disagree or have been misinformed as to his "Birth Name", you can check in The Guinness Encyclopedia of Popular Music ISBN 978-1561591763 they could be wrong and his birth name is really "Alvin Lee", but as we say down The Old Kent Road - I wouldn't Adam an Eve it Mate!

I was not trying to claim authority over any other Wikipedia user. I just happened upon a site that was using a bio I had written - with alterations and without current information - and tried to correct it. I simply could not understand why someone kept immediately undoing all of my changes, and frankly, I was much more concerned that you seemed not to be allowing me to post the title of the most recent recording. I'm also happy to leave this as is for now, and will work instead on a true encyclopedic entry (instead of a promotional biography) and will of course present undeniable verification of anything I post at that time. Thanks. User:leerocks12 —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 22:45, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Great stuff! I'm looking forward to reading it leerocks12. All the best, Lion King 23:08, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
