Fwd: Doesn't Zeppelin sell anymore?

["Oner Ozaylak" <oner.ozaylak@xxxxxxxxx>]

excuse me for this but:

fuck wikipedia and any other which/who still thinks attacking led
zeppelin makes them look beautiful/handsome. i believe that everyday
somebody becomes a zep fan or loves zep more on earth. and this is
more of a fact than their fucking nonsense. huh.

öner
an obvious zep fan

Good luck but the changes won't last very long.

I hate to say this, but being a Wikipedia editor myself, there is a
definite anti-Led Zeppelin pro-punk bias on that encyclopaedia. My
changes to "Stairway to Heaven" concentrating on the songwriting
process were mostly deleted and replaced with the usual dubious
backmasking claims on the recording. Similarly my changes explaining
that Whole Lotta Love was settled out of court and concerned the
lyrics not the music were mostly overwritten with the repetitive
innuendos "Led Zeppelin ripped off these blues artist" claim. "Dazed
and Confused" got similar treatment and is now regarded on the
encyclopaedia as being a Jake Holmes song, and a Led Zeppelin cover.
Most of this article seems to spend some time attacking Jimmy Page
rather than talking about the Holmes song funnily enough. The Peter
Grant article was moved to Peter Grant (music manager) with the
reason: "This particular Peter Grant doesn't seem to be particularly
more notable than the others". The person who moved it was a Norwich
City fan whose manager just happens to be a person called Peter Grant.
Similarly the article Signifying Rapper. It quotes a large chunk from
parody newspaper The Onion referring to Jimmy Page as a "cocksucker"
who ripped off Robert Johnson, neglecting to mention that a breach of
copyright is a breach of copyright. That is hardly encyclopaedic or
balanced in my opinion.

I've come to the conclusion the only way a more equitable view on the
band and its work can be made is to set up a rival wiki.
