Talk:Television Personalities

Mod

They are Mod. Who did ever write they are post-punk?? How weird !!! o.O

Only Mod-inspired at last, mod is *much too narrow* term for the TVPs. By the way: These long lists in the article are a nuisance. Just leave them where they are copied from (E-Kartoffel (talk) 01:21, 23 April 2011 (UTC))

Mummy Your (sic) Not Watching Me

The correct album title says "Your", not "You're". I'm changing it, but will put a "(sic)" in the text reference (but not in the discography). Nathan Beach 16:39, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

What the heck happened?

I made many legit edits to this article five years ago. Looking at the article now and noticing its deficiencies, I began editing again and suddenly realized I was making the same edits all over again. Did this whole article get reverted to a pre-2020 version or something? Jcejhay (talk) 18:33, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

Was it these edits ? Andy Dingley (talk) 18:47, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Andy. No, all my edits are under my login, as shown here. Jcejhay (talk) 18:58, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

For example, this one here from July 2020, where I removed blatantly extraneous brackets:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Television_Personalities&diff=969979332&oldid=969978817

A few minutes ago, I did that exact edit again, and I don't think that's the only instance. Jcejhay (talk) 19:05, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

[Ahem, cough]...it was me, from what I can see...here. The edit was a blind revert of a lot of poor edits made over a long period, and inadvertently or carelessly reverted some of your good edits Jcejhay. Sorry about that, but a lot seems to have been restored today by you, and have done some other copy-editing also.

By the way, picked up a copy of Benjamin Berton's 2022 book Dreamworld: The fabulous life of Daniel Treacy and his band Television Personalities two weeks ago and have been intending a clean-up and expansion anyway. Hope is to bring "Part Time Punks" to GA in a month or so (hnit hint if you want to have a run through for errors etc). Ceoil (talk) 21:24, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Ceoil. Thanks for the explanation and the apology--much appreciated! I can't promise to replicate all the edits I made in 2020, but maybe someone else will. Jcejhay (talk) 22:09, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

No worries....peace in our time :) Looking now at your recent citation needed tag - the look and help always appreciated as collaboration is how this place gets better. Ceoil (talk) 00:05, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
