British humour not recognised?
So pretty much everything on this page is a riff off the sainted Bob Ross - an inspiration to us all. A random posting on FB triggered a world of insanity about members of a fictitious band took on a life if its own.
In an ironic twist, I talk to the trees is both a real song and a real Bob Ross (may his canvases alway be slick with liquid white). The bootleg recording is available on Soundcloud, because... lockdown.
- British humour is indeed recognised, but I didn't make the stretch to Bob Ross. I do now see that there is some humour in Ali Crimson and Midnight Black, but they're still mostly random and read more like regular encyclopedia articles. Even though you did add some stuff to Midnight Black, you shouldn't have removed the ICU tag. MrX blow me

Alizarin Crimson[edit source]
Hey, the ICU-tags on your articles Alizarin Crimson and Midnight Black expired recently. I didn't really get either of them before I noticed the convo you had about them with MrX above, but I did like the writing. I guess some work could be done to make the concept a bit more obvious..? Because reading the Alizarin Crimson article one gets the sense that just a vague something is being parodied. It feels a bit fan fictionish, is what I mean. I recommend checking out our guides (in the welcome-bit above this) instead of defending that odd absence of context just as 'British humour'. :P The Midnight Black-article reads out even more like fan fiction since it kind of requires the context of your fictitious band article that's placed elsewhere, which is why I deleted the Midnight Black-album article and morphed the stuff in it together with the Crimson-article - just threw the entire thing in without touching it too much. Cheers, Zzz
