notability[edit]

In my opinion, all of the DJ's who broadcast on Radio Caroline in the 1960's were "notable". I am sure the 23 million listeners would agree with me. Charles 14:14, 12 July 2007 (UTC) I agree with Charles but this has to be one of the worst wikipedia entries I have seen to date. There needs to be a clear biography including supporting evidence and some structure given to it — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blueskies1977 (talk • contribs) 01:17, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Umi[edit]

I note there has been a concerted effort to keep all information about Lodge's later career as a Zen teacher out of the article, even to the extent of removing his official site from the EL's. Unwarranted IMO. Although most notable for his broadcasting, he is an established author, and much of his written output concerns Buddhism. Wwwhatsup (talk) 21:28, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If there's any sort of reliable source (not a self-published source) that provides significant, in-depth coverage of that, it can be included. TN X Man 20:04, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I know better than get into an edit war with an admin so I'm not going to touch it. However, I would ask you to review your decision. The ashram, according to the Cashbox article is "his own", how much more third party and specific does one need to get? Depriving a reader of information on the article's subject, like his current whereabouts/activities, of access to his own official site seems at odds with the whole purpose. Many authors are linked to their publishers, bands to their labels. What makes this one different? A section dedicated to his authoring career is definitely needed. I make my "majority" judgement above based on a quick perusal of the books listed in the article. Seems self-evident. As to the point about WP:RS I would refer to WP:SELF.

On a separate note I would have no objection to reversing diff to the more neutral language I had used before. Wwwhatsup (talk) 21:54, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to R Caroline info[edit]

Thanks very much Tom for your perusal of the article as it stood, and the amendments you have made. Having suffered from vandalisim (in the R.C. article) in the past, it is nice to have some one actually involved add additional valid material. --Keith 23:06, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What "novel"?[edit]

The article states "His book The Ship that Rocked the World describes his time there. The motion picture 'Pirate Radio' is based on the novel." Since "The Ship that Rocked the World" is a non-fiction memoir, and not a novel, which "novel" is the movie "Pirate Radio" supposed to be based upon? Or does it mean the memoir? 2.28.151.157 (talk) 22:14, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect information[edit]

Is this a problem with stating "current" info in an encyclopedia with no fixed publication date? The article states "Tom Jr is in his eleventh year of a weekly Sunday (9-11 p.m. U.K. time) music show (originating as 'the two Toms' with Tom Sr.) which Tom Jr uploads from Canada to Radio Caroline in the U.K., www.radiocaroline.co.uk". I don't know what year it began, but it hasn't been on for several years - perhaps a "to and from" dating would be more informative. Incidentally, does anyone know what has happened to Tom Lodge Junior? I came here looking for that information. He just kind of disappeared from the airwaves without explanation. 31.127.242.190 (talk) 12:26, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
