Holocaust History

Is Terry Hall son of jewish Holocaust-survivours? would be interesting to know 201.246.25.124 00:44, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about that but I know he has Jewish ancestry on his Mother's side which Wikipedia refuse to accept for some strange reason.

See here:

I don't think it is correct that his Jewish ancestry is on his mother's side. The articles these are based on were from an interview with Dorian Linksey and he stated that his grandfather was a German Jewish watchmaker. To be Jewish himself it would need to be his mother's lineage as Jewishness is a trait one is born into and they rarely accept converts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.170.57.206 (talk) 15:31, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That may well be, but Terry STILL HAS Jewish ancestry! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.224.198.189 (talk) 06:33, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't say he didn't have Jewish ancestry. I said he wasn't considered Jewish in Jewish society because it isn't on his mother's side. I know this is the case because that is my situation also. There are no synagogues in Coventry that I know of. He's from a Christian area. I think there are some anti-Semitic people harassing him and I to a severe extent and this interest in his religious life is difficult. He is trying to resolve tensions peacefully in the religious world and so am I. I'm not trying to accuse you of being a problem, but there is a problem that needs to be acknowledged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.170.57.205 (talk) 15:34, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

An image would be nice

Someone please put up a picture of Terry Hall it would be nice to refer to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.186.8.11 (talk) 10:49, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I have just put up an image of Terry Hall from July 2007 when he was DJing there as a guest performer. Dirtyharry1994 (talk) 10:48, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Last Paragraph

The last paragraph to this seems a bit odd to say the least. I don't want to delete it though. It seems to be an out of context quote.(The Count 02:32, 18 February 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Fun Boy Three are not new wave

It says he formed a new wave band (Fun Boy Three)this is surely written by an American as no one who was seriously into music in Britain would have described any band as "new wave" by 1981. I should imagine they would have been called "new pop", or more likely have been uncategorisable at the time...or maybe viwed now as post punk but new wave...that was banda with conventional rock line ups with skinny ties and no-one in England who knew about music used it after about 1978/79. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.254.173.34 (talk) 07:04, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vegas?

I was just rewriting bits of Terry Hall Wiki when i just found out that there is nothing about his band Vegas. It would be great to add in as it would complete the article, or make it better than it already is. Thankyou Dirtyharry1994 (talk) 10:45, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While there wasn't much more than a sentence or two describing Vegas there was, quite recently, a more comprehensive discography containing the singles and album. In the last month the discography appears to have been separated into it's constituent parts. Unfortunately Vegas doesn't have a page and the information has been removed. It would have perhaps been pertinent to create a page for the band before the separations occured. Mmm... Charles Aznavour cover version... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.22.214.242 (talk) 22:15, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Specials first album

Re: "The Specials' first self-titled album features some of Hall's most recognizable and notable performances, including "Little Bitch", "Nite Klub" and "Concrete Jungle". " Just changed "Concrete Jungle" to "Too Much Too young", as Roddy Byers sang Concrete Jungle on the album. Hope the author doesn't mind. Pollythewasp (talk) 16:14, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Harassment is ongoing with this Wikipedia editing group.

I want to acknowledge that as Terry Hall's current legal wife I can sense the editing that happens on this page distantly and it creates problems for me that I find hard to resolve and expensive to deal with on my own. I do report these problems to police. I wanted Jeanette Hall's entry to be better documented and nobody will respond. I tried to argue my case for safety reasons and think this Wikipedia company is truly a problem in my life. I find that the 'talk' page that I was instructed to use to resolve this problem has not done anything but waste money at public computers and generate more of the problem I was trying to resolve. I am in the Malibu, CA area within a long walk of where the fires happened and am in a difficult situation and feel like my life was in danger this month and if anything had happened to me, this Wikipedia saw my life as so unimportant that I could not be documented as his current legal wife. I tried to give a signal of survival one day to help him prove I was still alive and it got removed. This page was supposed to be a way to resolve the problem. Giving me a way to signal to emergency staff members and police that I am his legal wife was something that mattered to me. I want to say in conclusion here that I think this Wikipedia page is so hostile to married people in England that I don't want to ever edit it again. I will likely delete this in a few days. I noticed that nobody reinstated any of the editing that I did. You may find me boring, but my family that I grew up in founded one of the most famous movie companies on earth. I know how to make everyone's life interconnect. Mrs. Too-Boring-To-Bother-With and wife of the Wikipedia this talk page relates to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.170.57.205 (talk) 15:41, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

FIRE MAP OF CALIFORNIA CAN BE ENLARGED WITH THE PLUS SIGN TO SHOW THE RANGE WHERE THE FIRES HAVE BEEN NEAR BRENTWOOD WHERE I LIVE AND EVACUATED ONE DAY BECAUSE THE SMOKE WAS TOO SEVERE AND I DID SEE THE INITIAL PLUME OF SMOKE THAT IS FROM THE FIRST DAY FROM A DISTANCE IN BRENTWOOD. I HAVE NOT BEEN PHYSICALLY PAST THE BOUNDARY INTO SANTA MONICA OR INTO MALIBU IN MANY YEARS OTHER THAN TO GO TO A STORE ON THE BOUNDARY OF SANTA MONICA ON WILSHIRE BLVD.: http://www.fire.ca.gov/general/firemaps

I also wanted to add that I think the people harassing me the most don't read English too good and so writing big long blocks of text frustrates them and they remove it, which creates a stronger legal case for me since they have made severe errors in doing that.
