Removed the following dead link:

I feel that this page is a bit of a disgrace. Tony Wilson steered factory Records through many hard times. Joy Division, New Order & Happy Mondays would not have existed without his selfless efforts. The same can be said for the many many other Manchester bands & musicians since then. Tony Wilson should be lauded for what he helped people to achieve.
He was also a wit and a wag.

[edit] Death
He died of a heart attack, not directly of the cancer surely? See the quotes from his doctors in the MEN.
- BBC News apparently reported it wrong, everywhere else quotes his doctor saying it was unrelated to the cancer. I changed it and put in two references, the one you gave and also one from The Guardian, which both quote the doctor.
Again someone has editted the article to say that the heart attack was caused by the cancer. The BBC article appears to have since been altered to remove the statement that it was caused by the cancer. I have ammeneded the section and put a note there which should hopefully stop people from changing it back.
[edit] No honour
Crap that he was never honoured for his work whilst other less worthy candidates were. He might not have accepted it, but that's hardly the point. John 14:13, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
This page is for discussion of ammendments to the article, not general discussion of the subject.
[edit] Influence
I'm not the best at writing sections from scratch. It seems to me that Tony's article is desperately short of mention of influence and inspiration - that he gave to others. Manchester would be such a different place had he never existed and that angle isn't really mentioned in the article at the moment. Please can someone with a greater command of the language than myself come up with something? 82.23.90.72 21:35, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- I'm inclined to agree with you, but we need some source material to work from first. Jza84 21:45, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] FAC 501
The article states that FAC 501 "will be the last Factory catalogue number" but Factory_Records_Catalogue refers to a FAC 511.

- I noticed the same thing. Looking at the given reference, it only says that FAC 501 is the last catalogue number, not that it definitely always will be. I'll change the statement in the article to reflect that. --David Edgar (talk) 12:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:So It Goes1.gif
Image:So It Goes1.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
