The Alan Parsons Project keyboardist?[edit]

Andrew Powell redirects here, are they the same person? - G3, 18:33, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

No. Andy Powell is always credited Andy, never Andrew. --80.43.141.23 06:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What about Andy Powell, The Welsh Ruby player who won his 1st cap yesterday? - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Powell_(rugby_player) - I found the page on Google, but if one searches for 'Andy Powell' on Wikipedia, the page of the Guitarist will appear without a reference or a link to the page of the rugby player. If one searches in Wikipedia for 'Andy Powell rugby' there are NO matches! Why is this? Shouldn't the 'Andy Powell' page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Powell - simply have links to the pages of Andrew Powell, Andy Powell (Rugby) and Andy Powell (Guitarist)? OIf so, a new page needs to be created for the guitarist, maybe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Powell_(guitarist) ? - Hedd, 9 Nov 10.21am GMT —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.113.77.80 (talk) 10:22, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is a disambiguation link at the top of the article page, and there has been since 9 March 2007. This will suffice in terms of naming and disambiguation convensions. Booglamay (talk) - 00:59, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite[edit]

I rewrote the article this evening, I didn't realise how much was a copy-and-paste job from the Wishbone Ash website. Comments and improvements welcome. Booglamay (talk) - 00:59, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion, not fact[edit]

The "Wishbone Ash" section ends "Martin however was the lead songwriter and continues to be the power behind this amazing group." That final phrase is opinion (not that I question the opinion) but I'm not sure that just deleting "amazing" is an adequate revision. Photastro (talk) 14:10, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
