[edit] Name

Not the poster who copied from the webpage, but the singer spells his last name "Somerville", with one "m", so if the page *is* restored or stubbed or whatever, please fix the name. -Heath (not registered)

Welcome Heath - thanks for the note. BTW, there is a move page feature but it is only available to logged-in users. --mav

[edit] Copyvio

How does the copyright issue affect subsequent changes to the text? (I'm just curious. Is there a helpfile that covers issues like this?) Hephaestos

Unless the changes were a rewrite the oringal copyright still is in effect. The document is simply modified. I'm not aware of such a help file. --mav

This article is currently a copy (identical as far as I can tell) of http://www.solarmanagement.co.uk/biog.html . Do we have permission to use that material? If so, we have to change the "38-year-old" bit! -- Tarquin 23:32 Mar 18, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Update

Just to clarify. This article has been rewritten and is no longer a copyright violation Mintguy 15:41, 9 Aug 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Discography rather than charts

This article is very focused on charts and single hits. I think a discography would be far more relevant than a general link to charts. Also, the albums should be featured more in the article. I am propably not the right person to do this. --Sangild 16:34, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Communards

The Communards link goes to the wrong article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aj uk (talk • contribs)

I have corrected the link. :) AuburnPilot 21:12, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

My apologies if I'm using this all wrong but I have a question. REading the article it states that Small Town Boy is about Jimmy leaving his small town for the city. However at eh beginning it says that he was born and raised in Glasgow. Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland??? I have heard rumours in my local town (Greenock) that Jimm in fact was borna nd raised there and SmallTown Boy is about him leaving Greenock and moving to Glasgow. Could someone clarify? Plus is this the place to post such a question? If not I'm sorry!
