Re. last edits by Feline1:

  1. Tks for reminding me of the S.U. bit. A tangled Webb indeed, with AFE mentioning "S.U.s", Replicas (from memory) thanking "the two SUs" and "Su Wathan" transcribing lyrics on The Pleasure Principle's inner sleeve. Always heard SU referred to an old girlfriend but didn't think it could be Wathan else why was she still contributing to an album after the relationship finished ? I suppose because she was a Beggars staffer who did what she was told! Anyway, did some checking and found quotes from both Praying to the Aliens and the 1982 Numan biography by Coleman that confirm Wathan was the girl in question.
  2. Yes, I've again taken out "Gary Webb, better known as the artist Gary Numan" for two reasons: 1) it's clutter, 2) it's redundant on song articles when the first line in the Gary Numan link tells you "born Gary Anthony James Webb". If we had every song article with the Webb reference it'd get pretty wearing and if we do it for Numan we may as well do it for Bowie and have his song articles begin with "David Jones, better known as the artist David Bowie"... ;-)

Ah, yes - Sue Malden was actually the archivist that the BBC when they realised they'd be throwing all those old Dr Who episodes in landfill sites and they were gone forever LOL. --feline1 13:51, 4 February 2006 (UTC)


Absolutely no comments on how much of a Bowie-clone he is.

He's a pretty boy and that's where the bowie link ends! (Cadmiumcandy, forgot my password today)

[edit] No Hook?

From 1:53 to 2:03, it repeats it's self twice. I'd say that was without doubt a hook. Metty (talk) 17:06, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Afe3.jpg

Image:Afe3.jpg 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.
