Cosmic Nomads

Hi! You seem to have removed the reference I added a couple of times, but you didn't use an edit summary. Is there a problem with that reference? I have no hassles if there is, but I'm not sure why you removed it, so I'm a bit unsure. - Bilby (talk) 05:36, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Sorry Bilby - yes it was removed as it referred only to the Ray Vanderby Combo information and his Blues connection which is not relevant to this Cosmic Nomads page. Still familiarizing myself to the requirements and procedures of this site so I thank you for your patience.

Hi. In that case we should probably still use it - it was used to reference who he's played with before. The references don't need Cosmic Nomad as the focus if they provide sufficient support for other claims in the article. - Bilby (talk) 06:50, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

I'll get back to you asap about this. Just checking if there may be other links for that purpose. Thanks Griffo man (talk) 07:04, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Ophan tag on "Cosmic Nomads"

Hi Wiki I'm wondering why our page is still showing as an orphan when I have created links. Is there something else I should be doing? I realise we still need a couple of citations but the information provided has been from several years back and is proving hard to locate the admins of the relevant information, We'll keep trying. Thanks Griffo man (talk) 02:56, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

The reason the tag is still there is because although the article contains internal links to other pages, only one article links to the page "Cosmic Nomads," making it so that most people won't ever come across the article unless they know to look for it. The list of the articles that currently link to "Cosmic Nomads" is available here. Hope that explains it! Rising*From*Ashes (talk) 04:07, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
