The result was merge Alan Silson into Smokie (band). -- Debate 木 13:07, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes to merger. Silson on its own doesnt really make it as a topic. Decoratrix 05:11, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Irish origins of alice response

Hi, I am interested by the line on this page where you say:

The band had noticed that, whilst touring in Ireland, whenever they sang the main line "For 24 years/I've been living next door to Alice" the audience would shout "Who the fuck is Alice?".

I am writing about Irish audiences, and would like to be able to quote your statement. For this reason, I am interested to know what your source was for the assertion that this phenomenon started in Ireland. Did this come directly from a band member? or from someone closely connected with them? Or did you find a written source which said this?

Thanks for any help you can give me on this.

Fancruft

Somebody tagged the article with {{Fansite}} template, but didn't give any reason. I don't see any explanation on what is Fancruft in the article, so I removed the template. Vanjagenije (talk) 16:34, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia

I deleted the Trivia section, because it contained only two facts, both about the songs that have their own articles. These fact belong to the articles on the songs, and not to this article. Vanjagenije (talk) 16:38, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Release dates

The articles only says the release date of albums Pass It Around, Changing All the Time and Smokie. I want to know the release dates of'em. Can someone send me a mail with the release date —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bad News Live 1982-87 (talk • contribs) 13:46, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup

Major need of cleanup, which I have attempted in part. The discography was dire (and still is poor), I would think a singles discography would be appropriate too. Citations are needed for the article in every section. The albums link back to this page (apart from one) - I could go on, but I fail to see how this could be rated a 'B class article'.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 23:45, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
