Redirect[edit]

I will redirect this article to The APF Brigade. The information contained in this article is completely unsourced and hence unverifiable. No sources have been added since January. The APF Brigade contains a short passage on the same topic; if substantial reliable sources are found, the article can be expanded again. --B. Wolterding 17:33, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Typo in title name?[edit]

In the article, the title of the first track on the 6th volume is listed as Existance. Should this be Existence? -- KathrynLybarger (talk) 15:33, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing it out, and apologies for taking so long to reply. I rechecked, and it's spelled with an "a". It could be a typo, but unless we can find a quote from a member of Sombrero Galaxy saying it should have been spelled with an "e", or the track was issued elsewhere with different spelling, we will have to use the spelling as listed.

This brings up something I was trying to avoid: there are a lot of odd spellings and misuse of punctuation in these listings (apostrophe-S problems, for example), and I suspect Mr. Xport may be guilty of introducing spelling errors in the titles. I can verify that on some occasions, he spelled Barry Edgar Pilcher's name as Pilchar, and I know that's wrong because I've had direct correspondance with Barry, so I used the correct spelling in the article. On the other hand, considering many of the artists came from countries where English is not the primary language, some unintentional typos could have come from the original artists. And some spellings may be intentional. We could use "(sic)" (which is a template at Wikipedia) on any suspect spellings, but we would have to use it in many places, which could embarrass Mr. X., so I didn't do it. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 13:18, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for checking up on that title! I agree with your conclusion: the track title should be transcribed into the article exactly as it is on the listing. -- KathrynLybarger (talk) 01:33, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
