[edit] Frontman

Removed word "frontman" re HD Manitoba's threat of lawsuit against Snaith. What is a "frontman"? This is not a common phrase with the general public. Either hyperlink or leave term off. Hu Gadarn 01:12, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dick Manitoba vs. Manitoba/Caribou ?

Aparently someone has a problem with the following information (because they keep vandalising this statement): "Snaith previously recorded under the stage name Manitoba, but changed it in 2004 under threat of an American lawsuit by Richard "Handsome Dick" Manitoba [1], a musician and DJ ..." The usual vandalism appears as follows: ""Snaith previously *stole* the stage name Manitoba..." (my emphasis). Not very creative vandalism but that's to be expected.

PS - please note that on the Talk:Manitoba (disambiguation) page, ArglebargleIV's sleuthing resulted in these findings:

The current vandalizer, 209.196.192.7, is using an IP address registered to Sirius Satellite Radio -- Search ARIN WHOIS for: 209.196.192.7. I've saved a copy of that page. In my opinion, this appears to be someone with a WP:POINT to make and a personal dislike of the third entry. ArglebargleIV 22:38, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

For the record, so far, 209.196.192.7 has 5 identical content-removing edits in an hour, and the same edit as 205.188.116.139's 14 edits last night. ArglebargleIV 22:41, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
