 Hi,
-There are two articles about The Grateful Dead. One [[The Grateful Dead]] is the good one, full of information and every link leads to this article. Then, inexplicably another, [[Grateful Dead]], with no articles leading to that one. I've checked. There are no articles linked to "Grateful Dead", only "The Grateful Dead". Therefore there will be no redirect-problems between "Grateful Dead" and Jack Nicholson since they don't exist.

 Then my change to Jack Nicholson. I've sent a mail to "Barry" with questions about deleting articles, but he hasn't answered yet. So, I decided: "If I can't delete "Grateful Dead", I might as well rename it to a new article. Especially since all the other articles that refer to The Grateful Dead automatically refer to "The Grateful Dead"."

		+	Hi [[User:Spider of Destiny\|Spider]],
		+
		+	As you may notice, I had to undo some of the contents you wrote on "Operation Gladio".
		+
		+	Indeed, the song actually named RadioGladio is not at all an unreleased FZ song, it is just a song Zappa mentionned once as an example.
		+
		+	I suggest you carefully read [http://www.zappateers.com/bb/viewtopic.php?p=295490&sid=3053f4ef2d2fd1554d44db3155414103#295490 the dedicated post at Zappateers] for more information.
