An entry from Mary Fahl appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on December 19, 2006.

[edit] Distinguishing between OP and November Project

Except for the fact that it was formed by two former members of October Project, the band November Project was not connected to, derived from or an extension of October Project. It was as separate from OP as were Fahl's solo work or Belica's Decembergirl. The suggestions of "rejoining" and "replacing" are inappropriate in this context.

Sometime in 2001, after November Project disbanded, three former members of OP reunited under the name "October Project," which is the current status of OP (as of 2007).

[edit] Faldermeyer?

I added her birth name to the intro after someone put it in the infobox. Where can one find a source for that? (Or is Fahl a married name?) --Idont Havaname (Talk) 00:04, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I believe Fahl is her artistic name, a short way for Fa(h)l-dermeyer, but I will search for more info. I made a little change, leaving her real name at the end. I am also inclined to remove her birthday since it is already in the infobox.--Cefaro (talk) 03:03, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Surname & Birthdate

The surname Faldermeyer, its association with the the other members of OP (specifically with Adler & Flanders, with whom she evidently wrote a song entitled, "San Martino," but also with Sabatino and outside writer Byrne), and the year of her birth (1958) are available in documentation at the US Copyright Office, discoverable on the internet at: http://bulk.resource.org/copyright/hids/hid_09/hid_09362100-09362399.txt Date of birth (July 1, 1958) is also available at the municipal Registrar of Vital Statistics. Month and day are also confirmed anecdotally from those in attendance at OP concerts at which her birthday was announced.

I invite the user Mermaid5000 to explain his/her reasons for the repeated deletion of such information, and other verifiable text in the main article. Absent a satisfactory justification, Mermaid5000 would be compelled to reinstate the information, or to allow its proper reinstatement. MezzoForte (talk) 17:17, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
