[edit] N.W.A.

Editors using several anonymous IP accounts have attempted to insert the following (or similar) text to the page : "In 1993 N.W.A. re-formed to perform a small concert in what was the old liberal club of Crediton; they performed a reworking of their song Straight Outta Compton entitled Straight Outta Kirton. There has been some recent debate about the validity of claiming this as a true NWA performance, as not all members were present. Several photographs of the event are visible in the cd insert from the single Chin Check and one is also featured in the cd insert from The Best of N.W.A. - The Strength of Street Knowledge." This appears to be a hoax, a student "joke". Despite requests, no independent verification has been provided, and the user(s) have persistently reverted attempts to delete this text.

One feels that Ghmyrtle should undertake a more throrough checking of facts, as the concert is elaborated on in a number of books. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.32.194.76 (talk) 22:28, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Such as ...? Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:40, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

OK - I'll check. Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:54, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

this is b.s. Its possible 1 or 2 members performed there, I guess, but definitely not the group. Anyway, why would they be in England? And why is this relevant to the article? If there WAS a concert it definitely wasn't the whole group, (since Eazy and Dre never made up while Eazy was alive) so what would make this event special?64.105.35.230 (talk) 04:39, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

What makes the event noteworthy and worthy of the article, is the performance of the never released song straight of outa khirton. Despite repeated citing of documentary and photographic evidence, Ghymyrtle refuses to acknowledge the event took place. One questions whether he has taken the time to check the aforementioned references, or merely brand as a student 'joke', despite attempted validation from many 'editors'. Does this laugh in the face of the founding priciples of wikipedia. May I suggest other 'corrections' of Ghmyrtle be clarified, as I feel we have yet another rogue moderators ignoring facts, either through idiocy or blind ignorance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.170.240.10 (talk • contribs)

No citations have ever been provided; I've removed these unsupported claims. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

What about the citations that were added? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.32.194.76 (talk) 14:06, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

What citations? ("It's in a book" does not constitute a citation.) --Orange Mike | Talk 16:57, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
