Hi all. Just wanted to let you know that this entry is quite the work-in-progress. It is a bit lengthy and slightly cumbersome read at the moment, but please bear with me. I hope to achieve as an informative and non-biased article as possible in the coming weeks. --Ms.X (January 2006)

[edit] Websites

Hello. I like and agree with many of the changes that you have made on the GLJ page. The one error is calling genelovesjezebel.co.uk an official site. Michael Aston was the victorious party in a civil suit instituted by Jay Aston over trademark rights to the name "Gene Loves Jezebel" and Michael Aston was also the winner of an ICANN arbitration with Jay Aston over the rights to the domain name "genelovesjezebel.com". Accordingly, it has been conclusively and finally established in two different forums that Michael Aston is the sole and exclusive owner of the trademark and domain name "Gene Loves Jezebel". The .co.uk site is at best a fan site, not the official one. Ghost 16:11, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello. As the article seemed to borrow from a BBC Wales article it was only my "duty" to correct the chart positions. Also, the NPOV stuff from the "KROQ, Top 106.7 Countdown of 198X" made little encyclopedic sense. But this official/unofficial websites stuff... — both claim to be official for the various segments of the band - it's painful (pitiful) - I guess "domain names" and ™ is more complicated. John Peter Aston registered the genelovesjezebel.co.uk during 2000, whereas Michael Aston (Aston Management Group) registered genelovesjezebel.com and genelovesjezebel.net during 1998; genelovesjezebel.org during 2000 and "Round Flat Records" gobbled up genelovesjezebel.info last May; does this mean another court battle? → friedfish 16:58, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

The history leaves out a lot of important facts, such as Jay Aston, James Stevenson, Peter Rizzo and Chris Bell still perform as GLJ also. This is Michaels version of events and IMHO quite far removed from the truth. Andy

In that case, rather than just vandalising the page with unsourced allegations of its falsehood, you might like to properly amend it with a new section in an encyclopaedic tone giving a summary of the controversy, citing your sources. -- Archfalhwyl 15:43, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

OK - I have made some honest and reasonable changes. Lets see how long before they get pulled down. Andy

See - its been changed back to the lies again within a few hours. Andy
