Mike Watt likes squid. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvAta5i4lFs ) Does any of this deserve a mention? Oystermind 21:51, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
At the request of Mr. Watt himself, the genre on his Wiki bio has been changed to simply "Punk". Below is a copy of his e-mail regarding this:
Per a Watt e-mail from earlier today, added some more influences (I'd initially written to confirm whether a Mog blog credited to him in an earlier edit really was his own doing):
-- CJ Marsicano 13:01, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
"Watt is currently working on his first post-Columbia solo recordings, furthering his oft-stated desire to return to a more prolific release schedule than his association with Columbia allowed him. A new album with the Nels Cline/Bob Lee lineup of The Black Gang will be recorded in the first week of February 2008[10], and a new album with The Secondmen[4] as well as the long-delayed Missingmen album are also planned."
This stuff is dated -- not very encyclopedic. Bustter ( talk) 22:44, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Mr. Watt himself provided the following info to me via e-mail regarding updates/corrections/omissions on his studio projects:
-- CJ Marsicano ( talk) 00:51, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
People,
I just got an e-mail from a very upset Watt.
The picture that represented him on here, which he gave full permission to use here and which I uploaded for him, is gone.
And what's with that box on top of the article, considering that Watt himself has been vetting this page himself when time permits and askng me to make updates/changes?
Explanations - logical ones - are more than welcome. In fact, they're about mandatory right now.

Per Wikipedia:No personal attacks, please do not personally address headings to people on talk pages. Article talk pages should be used for discussing the articles, not their contributors. Headings on article talk pages should be used to facilitate discussion by indicating and limiting topics related to the article. For instance, you could make a header whose title describes in a few words one problem you have with the article. This will make it easy for people to address that issue, work towards consensus, and eventually resolve the issue or dispute and improve the article. If you need to reach another user please go to their user talk page. Thanks. Hyacinth ( talk) 04:00, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
The file was deleted ("06:30, 15 November 2007 Fran Rogers (talk | contribs | block) deleted "File:Watt2005.jpg" (CSD I8)") and proposed for deletion because an "Exact duplicate on Commons with same name" existed ( [1]).
At the time it appears that the file did exist in Commons ( [2]) but was subsequently deleted ("18:58, 22 March 2010 Polarlys (talk | contribs) deleted "File:Watt2005.jpg" (Per Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Watt2005.jpg)"). The reason given there was that Watt's permission to use on Wikipedia did not extend to Commons ( commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Watt2005.jpg).
This chain of events does indeed seem silly, but the real blame would seem to lie with the French speaking commons:User:ELOdry who uploaded the image to commons in the first place, one must assume with good intentions:
On this user's page is the following text relating to the image:

As such, it appears that the uploading the Commons was mistaken, as was deletion from Wikipedia, and I will support re-uploading the image at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Hyacinth ( talk) 08:26, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
