[edit] Hello, I'm Frost. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Meadows Technicolour Fair, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Frost 13:44, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- No vandelism here, this is fact, I was the MC on the Saturday afternoon, I was working with 5KA at the time, who were a sponsor.
- I also was employed as a public relations person by the promoters of the event, Grape Organisation.
- Victor Marshall at Grape Organisation can verify this. Mainstreet Media Services (talk) 13:58, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

- Hi, I simply wish to correct a fact concerning the Meadows Technicolour Fair. Of all of the presenters, I am the only one who is still alive.
- You tell me how I can achieve this, and I will comply.
- I am not trying to promote myself, I am merely wanting to correct an omission.
- I only recently became aware of the issue when researching information for an entirely unrelated purpose. Please assist me to find the correct channels to achieve this.
- I thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer. Mainstreet Media Services (talk) 00:05, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

- Mainstreet Media Services is an identity used soley for myself to cover my media activities.
- My name is Bruce Packer, but I was unable to use that or variations to register, I attempted to use Bruce King, a name I used as an entertainer in the 1960's and 1970's but that and variations were nocked back. I am at wits end, what am i supposed to do?
- I simply want to correct an ommission in the Meadows Technicolour Fair entry. Mainstreet Media Services (talk) 14:08, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
