• Hi ResonantDistortion, nice little article. Long enough, new enough, neutral, no close paraphrasing found. The hooks are technically true but slightly misleading as the song that created the schism was part of a collab with DJ Sharkey. Also is there anything that can be written about his early life? As a side note I found this book interesting, perhaps useful for expanding the article a bit. DigitalIceAge (talk) 01:34, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

• Hi DigitalIceAge thank you for finding the new reference; I will look into whether I can access, and also whether I can find sufficient WP:RS to add detail on his early life. Good point about the hook, it was indeed a dual credit. I expect there are two options - we also include reference to the DJ Sharkey article, or adjust the text to 'co-created'. Alts added below - though I expect we need to improve Sharkeys article if ALT3 selected. Welcome your thoughts on best route? ResonantDis_tortion 19:33, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

• No prob. ALT3 seems the best phrased, I'll tick it. DigitalIceAge (talk) 23:28, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
