Name Change Proposal

I would like to create an article on the biblical account of the feeding of 5000, and I would, if at all possible, like to use the name taken by this page.

I do not wish to do this arrogantly, and if it is rejected, I will accept your decision. Please consider the following

  • When people talk of the "feeding of 5000", most are talking about the Miracle by Jesus
  • This article is about an album with a very low circulation; and not to be offensive, I had never heard of this band before.
  • The name change would be very simple eg "The_feeding_of_the_5000_(album)"
  • The album page would likely recieve some traffic from people are reading the biblical miracle page, people who think "there was an album by this name?? I want to see it!"

I kindly request my proposal be considered. Yours, A J Hay 12:28, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds fine to me (tho I'm a very minor contributor and had never heard of the band either). Would a hatnote on the miracle article, redirecting to the album, work, or would it be removed by indignant purists feeling it sullied their biblical reference? JackyR 15:52, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Um I'd like to say that wouldn't happen, but it might, but only because some people are unreasonable. All wikipedia contributors like to think that they aren't biassed, so it seems unlikely. What may happen, though, is that people could eventually come up with 3 other concepts of "feeding of 5000", leading to a disambiguation page. You'd still be there though. Any other comments?A J Hay 12:20, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If you and I both think the hatnote will be vandalized, perhaps its better to go for a disambig page straight away. I know this is against Wiki style, as the biblical ref is clearly the principal (indeed, original) one, but there's no shortage of unreasonable people on Wiki and elsewhere...

Changing the name as suggested seems fine to me (although I would dispute that the album had 'very low circulation'...). You'd also need to alter the various backlinks as well though... quercus robur 19:07, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How do you like that when I wrote "The Feeding of the 5000 is the first album by Crass, released in 1978 after the demos in 1976 and form in 1977 in the UK. Some songs off of this album have Parental Advisory and Explicit Lyrics and Content of guitar solo sounding like David Bowie post 1972 or The Ramones post 1976". -Michael

Well, I for one didn't like it too much. Aside from being two run-on sentences full of unrelated facts, it doesn't make logical sense by my reading. How could "guitar solos" earn an "Explicit Lyrics and Content" label? After reading the above, I can't even tell iff the album itself earned a warning label. And "Parental Advisory" stickers didn't even come into existence until the 1990s, AFAIK. Tuf-Kat
<exasperated sigh> 'Feeding' definately DID NOT have Parental advisory stickers on the cover. It DID NOT have 'explicit lyrics & content' labels. As TUF KAT says, these didn't even exist until some years after 1978. What's more, it has NOT got any guitar solos on it, it DOESN'T sound like David Bowie in 1972 or any other year. Arguably there are vague similarities with the sound of the early ramones, although Crass' sound is much more complex than the ramones, and a comparison with them would be highly misleading. Have you ever heard anything by Crass BTW Micheal? quercus robur 09:09 Mar 14, 2003 (UTC)


[1] Source for the quote about the naming of the album and it going golden, this was probably in 1986. Edit it into the article in a better way if you can find out a way that fits.
