bombfrog Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Somebody (or some people) have taken the time to collate previous line-ups on Wikipedia. This year's is a bit guessy at the moment and the further back you go the less info there is, for obvious reasons, but it's a very useful resource. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glastonbury_Festival_line-ups Unfortunately, somebody has marked it for deletion and there's currently a discussion going on about the relative merits of keeping it or deleting it. I've never edited Wikipedia and don't know how to, but I find it incredible that one of the mods there can have nothing better to do than trawl the site looking for things like this to delete because it apparently "looks promotional". Anyway, I'm putting it on here because I hope that others (any wikipedia editors here?) will contribute to the argument there and hopefully stop it getting deleted. I'm not going to be going to the festival for many more years and I can see myself looking back fondly at pages like this in 10 or 20 years time if they're still around. The information that's been collated here is hard to come by and it would be a massive shame to see it go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombfrog Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Will Platt v Zac Quinn... See, somebody is obviously taking the piss there. If Wikipedia wasn't so un-fathomable I'd try to find out who did it and report them, or just change it. Still, my point stands that the page shouldn't be deleted, even if some toe-rag is having a bit of fun with this year's line-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombfrog Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Are they looking to delete just this years or all the previous years? The whole page, that's the problem. The guy isn't even suggesting the page is removed due to people pissing about, he's suggesting it be removed on the basis that it's promotional (which is idiotic). I think this would be a travesty.

LondonTom Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 This is the page to vote to keep the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Glastonbury_Festival_line-ups#Glastonbury_Festival_line-ups Make good sensible arguments (away from us having fun ) and it should hopefully get kept!

Gucci Piggy Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Yeah, I've just clocked "BearFur" on JPT, definitely the classic shenanigans of one efests' resident mischief makers. You guys. For the record I didn't actually put any of them in (I actually removed my name from it at one point). Dunno who did it. I only saw the BearFur entry yesterday. "Will Platt" had been there like a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
