The entry is from an interview between the author (Te Irirangi) and Mark Tupuhi, and was not intended as a complete entry but a 'complementry' quote to be contained in the entry (similar to the use of interview excerpts contained on the Danse Macabre and Nosferatu entries, used to help clarify/verify relevant biographical information).  Tupuhi was going to provide me with tracklist and other relevant info for the EP but hasn't yet, hence the "excerpt" remains the only content at this stage.  Since I began contributing entries to the wiki and subsequently sent links to Mr Tupuhi, Mr Tupuhi appears to now believe that a wiki is the new face of Gonzo journalism (he has only recently discovered HST) and I am having some considerable difficulty monitoring/editing/censoring his input, and I find he gets a little upset if I do not include word for word what he wants me to say about him in my own contributions.  I see you wikified Jah'na, which I was also about to do, having just persuaded him that he needs an editor/proofreader.  The "press release not a bio" entry on St Lucy was nothing to do with Mr Tupuhi nor myself, but copied and pasted from another of Mr Tupuhi's own webpages by a contributor known as "Flippy".  I did, however, make some corrections to include biographical material (band members etc) based on material supplied by Mr Tupuhi via MSN interview.

The removal of 'blog' comments on Mr Tregilgas' profile page in which the author was intoxicated, however, are duly noted and will not happen again. - Te Irirangi

Thats cool... I wasnt intending on doing anything with it (i.e., deleting it) immediately. I will be sure to leave any of yours or his contributions untouched for a reasonable length of time if you are tidying things behind you (or him) ;). I look forward to seeing the final products :).

hey hey... "(replacing "author" with "Te Irirangi" - wikis are multi-authored)" I just like to be anon, that's all --[[User:Te Irirangi|Te Irirangi]] 03:24, 11 October 2006 (BST)
 
 
Maybe you want to go through and change them to simply "interview, October 2006" - or better, just providing the name of the interviewee rather than the interviewer? The point was that wiki's contain multi-authored articles, which unless you go into the "history" and sift through each revision, they are in effect anonymous. Having "the author" therefore makes no sense in this format... -thedugganaut 12 October 2006
