Samples

Is the .ogg file of Nik's song "The Riddle" a copyright infringement, and if so, shouldn't it be removed? -dvs- 21:29, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

It appears that user Delirium answered this question by deleting the files. -dvs- 18:58, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Guitar playing ability

Some years ago I read that Nik was a monster guitarist - there even were comparisons with Holdsworth, that sort of thing - but he went down the pop music path instead. Is this true, and are there any particular tracks that really highlight his guitar playing?

--

Kershaw is / was a massive Holdsworth fan (along with the late Alan Murphy). There are many tracks that highlight his playing, but from his recent release, "You've Got To Laugh" "Promises, Promises" highlights his typical soloing style. BenedictPoole 14:56, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Solo on "The one and only"

Does anyone know if Nik actually produced "The One and Only" and played the solo on it? The style sounds very much like his playing technique.

Thanks

The guitar playing is Kershaw, yes (including the solo). He also performs backing vocals. I don't know about the production credit BenedictPoole 14:57, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Nik and Sheri don't live together any more. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Seegoon (talk • contribs) 20:48, 12 March 2007 (UTC).

ok, but dont remove other information that has been put in you dont own this article.

Wasn't me. Chillax.

Tad102, if you're referring to my removing the reference to Dunmow it was in the context of the whole sentence being inaccurate - it was something along the lines of "Nik lives in Dunmow with his wife and children". As Nik refers to moving house at the the time of the separation, it was certainly not clear to me that he (and Sarah) live in Dunmow. Can you confirm that? By the way, please fix the grammar - it should be "Kershaw lives in" not "Kershaw live in". It's polite to sign your comments, too; use 4 tildes (~) to add name and timestamp automatically.

yes he does live in dunlow essex alone. Tad102 23:54, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I think the latest planning application says "Felsted, Great Dunmow", not "dunlow". Hmm, it also says "Mr. & Mrs."...puzzling NickS 22:33, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

yes dunmow sorry last one was a typo 62.231.152.230 15:06, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

From Sheri

Hello. I am Sheri Kershaw and yes we are still married. Yes, Nik lives in Felsted. Yes we are still married and I am heart broken. Nik wished to 'start a new life' I have no choice but to seek a divorce. I put that we have 3 children one of whom is severely disabled and that is true. The boys live with me.

I'm very sorry to hear about about your marriage difficulties, but surely you can agree that a public encyclopedia isn't the best place to air your grievances. If you can work with us to remove the parts that are most grating to you, while leaving your point-of-view claims by the wayside, I'm sure we can get the article into a state where you'll be more comfortable with its contents and still retain Wikipedia's intended integrity.

"This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2007)"

This is inaccurate. It does contain some, though maybe not enough. - NickS (talk) 22:37, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

That tag doesn't literally mean there are exactly zero references; it just means that there aren't enough. Xihr (talk) 01:18, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

The refimprove tag is better, though now the number of references is tending towards zero. Some citations seem to have been lost in the last year or so, possibly in the removal of text that has been considered irrelevant, "fancruft", or POV. Q: is citing autobiographical information considered POV? i.e. citing interviews or the artist's own website? NickS (talk) 11:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

It's acceptable if the information cited is uncontroversial and isn't inherently point-of-view; e.g., citing the subject himself about his birthdate should not present a problem; citing him about how important his contributions to music are (say) would surely be problematic. Xihr (talk) 03:07, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

This year(?) also saw the digital re-release of his 1980s back catalogue...

Near the bottom of "Career" section.

What year was that? A date would be more useful info as time passes. 213.173.165.130 (talk) 12:53, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

It's likely that careless editing removed the context for the comment. Actually, it reads fine. The year (2006) is mentioned two sentences earlier. In context, it reads coherently. Xihr (talk) 00:31, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
