Hi Rhodri.

Many thanks for your interest. I've only recently become an admin and that was really because I do so much editing of the site, but I wasn't otherwise involved in the setting up of the site, its design, policies, user lists and all the other stuff that goes along with being a Wikia admin! So I'm not qualified to speak from an admin's point of view, and I'm not around in the morning.

Fwiw, I find the Wikia site somewhat like Wikipedia but a bit easier to use, and there's less of the pressure that you get on "Wikipedia proper" in terms of style guidelines, neutrality, source citations etc. Certain aspects of the site are kind of fixed but there's enough flexibility to allow us to do what we want with it.

I see from the Independent biog that you are in Scritti Politti, I'd no idea they were still around! I remember being into the Songs To Remember album in a big way. I found your Spotify article very interesting. As an early Spotify adopter I wondered how my £10 per month got allocated; I'd like to think that if I chose a track to play this would allocate some of that to the artist/record company. So I have been adding some Spotify links on the site to individual tracks.

Anyway all the best with the article.
