[edit] Jimbo Wales highly recommended ...

Jimbo Wales highly recommended to delete the article about the Socialist Patients' Collective and all links to the Wikipedia-project terrorism. See our recent Boston meeting, see the juridical proceedings of SPK against Wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.56.208.239 (talk • contribs) 11:37, August 19, 2006 (UTC).

I made no recommendation about this article. The anon ip number should be ignored.--Jimbo Wales 23:32, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Additions

I added some musicians working with Revell and also a complete discography.82.83.245.111 11:38, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] citation

I can't find a citation for this:

Neill Hill committed suicide in 1983[citation needed].

so I removed it from the article for the moment, because there is conflicting information, this interview from 1982: http://home.scarlet.be/~spk/spktonedeathnov82-1.htm says that NI/H/IL (not "Neil Hill") had already died, so the 1983 date can't be correct. clarkk 07:16, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] was there really a "Neill Hill" aka NI/H/IL?

are there any other independent sources (other than SPK-related zines) that conclusively identify that the person identified as NI/H/IL in the various SPK interviews actually ever existed and was actually "Neil Hill"? clarkk 07:19, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

There is a "NE/H/IL" credited on the Leichenschrei CD (along with "Oblivion" and "Pinker"; I assume the former is Graeme Revell). "NE/H/IL" is also mentioned in the RE/Search book but there's no mention (that I can find) of Neil Hill. I'm not sure this helps... -- Gyrofrog (talk) 07:37, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes there was a Neil Hill in SPK - he died in early 1984 as described in the notes. We shared a house together in 1982-83. He recorded many of the rythym/drums and sounds with drum machines and a variety of analog synths (including Moog) in the house. The screaming on Leichenshrei was recorded at home and was interrupted by police when a neighbour complained. Still very sadly missed DRM 7/5/2007
