[edit] Nothing Can Stop Us

I know the Australian 1983 version (Rough Trade Australia/New Zealand via CBS) includes "Shipbuilding" because I had a copy :-) - David Gerard 14:50, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Edit re: "Peuple Migrateur"

Although the article states that Wyatt's contribution to the "Winged Migration" ("Peuple Migrateur") soundtrack was "uncredited", his name appears in the credits of the movie and he is appropriately credited on the soundtrack album from the film, so I removed the language that implied differently in the paragraph that discussed his contribution to the film and soundtrack. -- Robert The K64.131.228.75 03:00, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Wyatting"

Have made the seperate article on Wyatting into a redirect here. The stub contained the exact same information as the section in the main article about the term, and had little scope for expansion. --HisSpaceResearch 03:42, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

"Wyatting" is a noun, surely? A gerund, to be precise. The verb form would be "to wyatt" and the present progressive form would be Subject + TO BE + verb + ing 125.163.224.69 07:58, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

But surely a gerund can only exist given the presence of a verb? I certainly can't think of an example of a gerund floating in non-verbal outer space. Wiktionary says a gerund is: "a verbal form that functions as a verbal noun." I think the '[sic]' should be removed; at the very least it's pedantic. Jigsawpuzzleman 20:19, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Wyatting seems like a real pointless section. In the scope of his music and career, which started in the sixties,I am sure there are far more important and relevant "pop-culture" things we could talk about/reference. Just mentioning a new fad in the context of his short wiki-page feels distracting and like I said, pointless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Benjaminqjones (talk • contribs) 07:06, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] His disability

We have a category for Quadriplegics. If Wyatt is not the only paraplegic, can I suggest the creation of a new category? Or should I just do it myself?--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 22:30, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Have created the category myself, with only two articles in it at the moment.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 16:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
