Possibly useful ref re crowdfunding?[edit]

This article was published today (I have no connection, just a long-standing Marillion fan!)

http://www.virgin.com/music/how-marillion-pioneered-crowdfunding-in-music

The article not only hints that Marillion effectively invented crowdfunding, but that this will be one of their greatest legacies.

With that in mind, perhaps there should be a section of the article highlighting this important aspect of the band?

Rachel Cooke[edit]

Does she really deserve the attention in this article? What's the point in including a sentence about a writer insulting a band's fans?

Also, I looked at the archives and it's funny to see somebody being torn down for comparing latter-day Marillion to Radiohead and Muse... Jules TH 16 (talk) 21:57, 23 March 2021 (UTC) 21:57, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Marillion[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Marillion's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 08:38, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Original lead singer[edit]

Fish was not the original lead singer, Doug Irvine was. LeapUK (talk) 17:36, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
