- COMMENT - I think it is inappropriate for BostonMA and HighInBC to try to discredit or trivialize the votes of some of those above with comments about how long they've been editors or how many edits they've made, and I think these comments should be taken down.

- Please see Wikipedia:Single purpose account, this is a common practice accepted by the community. Neither of us has said these people are not credible, but simply have pointed out they are very new to the project. Any inference drawn from that statement is unrelated to the post that the user is new. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 20:16, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- Except that this is NOT a single-purpose account, see my contribs. Jefferson Anderson 20:31, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- Nobody said you were, BostonMA only said The first edit for the above editor is 4 Dec. 2006, which the logs show as true. Saying something that is true about another editor is not some sort of insult to you. Nobody has attacked your as a person, BostonMA has simple made a note to help the closing admin. The experience and history of those casting opinions should be taking into account. This is not a vote, but a discussion. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 20:36, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, I disagree. It is appropriate to use the spa tag - if the implication is true. It is not appropriate to make other comments to cast aspersion on an editor's positon when the spa tag is not applicable. This whole thread should be deleted. I will do it if you don't.

[edit] Some action taken
I have just done a round of deletions of names from the Starwood festival page and a few deletions of Starwood mentions on other pages. I also assembled some 3rd-party sources referencing Starwood appearances on the part of many of the subjects who had mentions in their articles and added them. Some include interviews by the subjects discussing these appearances. I also provided links to a couple articles that had only been referred to in the past. (I would not be suprised if I did some of these wrong, in that I may have put links in the body of the text that belonged in the "Reference" section and such, and I welcome anyone changing such errors.) I hope this demonstrates my desire to improve articles and satisfy requests for 3rd-party sources. I have not added to the Starwood Festival page, only subtracted (though I did ask someone to fix a link to a band's page), and though I have added to the Jeff Rosenbaum article it was only to beef it up to avoid its deletion. If it can pass muster, I plan not to edit it any more, and I hope to ask others to handle any direct additions to the Starwood, WinterStar and ACE articles. I may still make more deletions to them for a while. Rosencomet 21:09, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
