RavenVapes5v510[edit]

Liam is doing Youtube videos parodying the Electronic Cigarette culture under the mopier 'RavenVapes5v510' (posted under the username heyliam on Youtube). See his videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/heyliam 219.90.192.25 (talk) 06:12, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Directing[edit]

It seems like their should be a section of the page devoted to his directing. Or at least a list of what he has done in film.

iTunes[edit]

Parts of the iTunes bio of Lynch are word for word the same as this one...

Article Needs Cleanup[edit]

As others have pointed out here, there are many elements of Lynch's career missing from this Bio. I also find some of the content questionable. Currently, I would only give this article a Start or B-Class rating.

I would suggest the following changes:

Lynch's professional background should be broadened to include director as well as musician
The article needs an infobox
The article should include details about his directorial career (TV and film) with filmography
An external link should be added to his artist's page on IMDB.com
A section on collaborative projects with other artists/artist connections could be added to give the article more insight into the artist
Lynch's work on Sifl & Olly could be broken out into its own section, or combined in a section covering his television/film work
The article could be fleshed out with relevant quotes (with references) from the artist
Category info should include Directors and Musicians
I believe that Liam mentioned on one of his podcasts his irish heritage

Questionable content:

Article lacks citations/references, especially for quotes and content taken from other cites (i.e. interviews with the artist regarding career and illness)
Is "binocularity of the eyes" a disability? Or is this Lynch's humor? (All normal humans have binocular vision.)
Much of the content on this page seems to mirror the content on this site: http://www.omegarobot.com/LL.html

I can volunteer to clean up this article - would appreciate help from any other volunteers.

Michael Taylor's link goes to a prison inmate rapist on death row Michael Taylor.

Categories[edit]

Should this article be categorized under Category:People from Hudson, Ohio? --DangApricot 21:49, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Contributions:

Was going to add this to the article, but I'll put it here for someone to find proper citations/edit to the correct style of wiki

"Liam also sang the higher notes of the Queens of the Stoneage song Make it Wit' Chu on their album Era Vulgaris, and has contributed to the Eagles of Death Metal album death by sexy."

Was claimed in a youtube video posted by Liam Lynch where he interviews Jesse Hughes (from the Eagles of Death Metal) outside the recording studio where Mr Hughes was working on the album Heart-on. I'll try and find the link for citation.

Vaping[edit]

We need a reliable source for the fact that Lyncb is a "personal vaper"; this is especially important because he's a living person, and we don't want to say untrue or misleading things about him because that could cause real problems. I can't easily find a reliable source, and the extensive bio on his personal website doesn't mention it. Using a YouTube channel as a source is original research; we're supposed to leave that to professionals (eg journalists, biographers), who can better decide whether it's fair to say that vaping is one of the main activities that makes him notable.
