[edit] To Marcus22

I don't appreciate your "Undid revision 173000971 by Weasel5i2 (talk)never heard of them - out it goes" edit of this article. I believe that it goes against everything Wikipedia is about, which is the sharing of knowledge by MULTIPLE individuals.

Obviously, by your Undo action, you consider YOUR knowledge to be the de facto standard for everyone else's knowledge. Did it ever even occur to you to check Google and verify the existence of the fact which I placed in the article? Apparently not.

Incidentally, I've never heard of the indie rock band, "White Rabbits" from NYC. That doesn't mean I even remotely consider myself as having the authority to remove it from the article! You need to think twice before doing things. I'm afraid to look at your contribs because I might find all sorts of other innocent bits of info which you indiscriminately removed because you "haven't heard of them"!

For starters, try this on for size. Note the first result returned: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22airplane+crashers%22

Yeah, nice reply. That's all you have to say, prior to REMOVING MY EDIT AGAIN?Really mature. I stated facts and that's all you can say? Go ahead and keep removing my edit, I will keep putting it back. I am also now looking for the proper channels to file a complaint with Wikipedia against you.

    • I didnt reply because - for no reason whatsoever - you were rude, unpleasant and uncivil. I wont reply again either unless you change your tone. But note that your "edit" is an attempt to insert a track by a band with only 480 unique G Hits. In other words, as far as I can tell, it's not worth being in Wikipedia. End of. Marcus22 (talk) 17:17, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I apologize for the rude tone, it is because I felt that your first edit comment and reasoning was a bit snide and pointed at me for putting them there in the first place.

Also, I realized it's not right for me to complain against you, as you are doing what you believe to be right and I don't disagree with that. However, I did submit this to the WP:Third opinion process, so hopefully we can have another person's neutral view on this issue. I realize that you may consider them non-notable, but by keeping their mention out of Wikipedia you are depriving others from knowing about them altogether. I added them in the first place because there was absolutely no mention of them.

In the immortal words of so many others before me, "Who/What does it hurt by keeping this entry in Wikipedia?" I mean, it's obviously not frivolous or untrue information; I'm not affiliated with this group in any way (and as far as I know, they don't even exist/perform anymore!) and I also believed that by adding a (not-yet-existent) wikilink to the band's name, it would have inspired someone to eventually come along and create the article!

    • Well that's better. Thankyou for the apology. I accept it. "Who/What does it hurt by keeping this entry in Wikipedia?" is a fine argument and I would, personally, choose to list EVERYTHING in Wikipedia - but too often I have argued exactly as you only to be voted down. At the moment, this entry really isnt sufficiently notable to be in Wikipedia. But what the hell, after all it's not a whole article and if it matters to you - as you have taken the time to be civil - please DO put it back! regards Marcus22 (talk) 17:34, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I will do even better.. ^_^ This incident has inspired me to collect as much information as possible to validate their inclusion in Wikipedia. It seems that the "Airplane Crashers" was just one incarnation of a trio of individuals who released many songs during the "New Beat" movement of the 80s.. If I can paraphrase the information from here http://www.discogs.com/artist/Morton+Sherman+Bellucci and find more facts, I think I may have the ingredients for a good addition to the New Beat article, or perhaps even a new article unto itself for the Morton/Sherman/Bellucci trio!

I looked in here to see how the dispute was going and saw that it has resolved: well done, you two. I have removed it from the Third opinion listings. — Athaenara ✉ 07:39, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
