This artist's biography needs a little attention to deal with several of the usual question marks where there should be apostrophes and quotation marks. Maybe some other inconsistencies could be fixed too, if you feel the need to deal with these while you've got the text open in the admin panel.

Paragraph 1, line 9, where it begins: Martin said... The rest of that paragraph needs enclosing with quotation marks. The opening one is currently a question mark, and the closing one is missing completely.

The other question marks are at:

Paragraph 2, lines 1, 5 (x2) and 8

Paragraph 3, lines 1 and 5

The last line of the biography also has one.

In paragraph 2, line 4 the rather late follow up to original album needs 'the' inserting before original album.

Then, to maintain consistency with the capitalisation of band names and peoples' surnames as per the official PA biography standards policy (as edited by former admin Andy Webb in April 2015) throughout the bio (not many biography writers bother adhering to it these days, but since this particular biography does attempt to follow the policy we may as well try to get it right), the mention of The Gardening Club at paragraph 3, line 10 needs capitalizing, as do the surnames of Norm Macpherson and Kevin Laliberte in lines 7 and 8 of paragraph 3, and I guess also the two inclusions near the beginning of the bio of the surnames of the author JRR Tolkien and his son Christopher.

Conversely, to also keep to PA's official policy of capitalising surnames and band names, but not releases, the references to "The Gardening Club" at paragraph 1, line 7 and paragraph 2, line 1 should really be in lower case and enclosed in quotation marks, since these refer to the name of the self-titled debut album rather than the name of the artist. Similarly "The Riddle" in paragraph 2, line 4 is the name of an album and shouldn't really be capitalized, but should be enclosed with quotation marks. Then in paragraph 3 "The Blue Door", "Forever Leaving Home" and "Mr. October and the Moon of Madness" are also names of releases which should ideally be in lower case.

I think that's everything lol. It's a fair bit to take in, and I guess it's up to you guys whether with you bother fixing any of it other than the spurious question marks.

One thing's for sure, I doubt that either of you will have attended to this issue before I manage to post my note, but if you have, then I guess it won't hurt. 

To be perfectly honest, I don't like the use of capitals in these biographies anywhere other than at the beginning of a sentence or proper noun (the name for a specific place, person, or thing). Hardly anyone bothers capitalizing biography band names and surnames in their entirety these days anyway, so maybe it's time to just forget that this particular "rule" even exists lol!

There is apparently a delay when an artist image is updated. A similar situation occurred a few days ago when a Special Collaborator updated an artist image. When he looked back at the page to check the results of his action, all he saw was the same image that he was trying to change - even several hours later - and he thought that his efforts had failed.

One of our E&O Team members who updates artist images regularly on here wrote this to explain what had happened:

If you are still seeing the old image on your page, maybe you could try a full browser refresh as suggested there.
