# Talk:Simon & Garfunkel

When thiS article says that the duo were reunited several times and "most famously in 1981", should it add that they have reunited in the zeroes? Vorbee (talk) 10:22, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

That's already covered in the article. Popcornduff (talk) 10:34, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

To the edit-warring anonymous editor who won't communicate: we shouldn't link Ireland. Please read WP:OVERLINK. Popcornduff (talk) 20:18, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

This edit adds too much detail and verbosity to the lead. It turns the second paragraph into a bloated wall of text that's more than twice the length of the other paragraphs. 
Here are some examples:

All these dates: In mid-1965, in late 1965, in the issued dated January 1, 1966, December 1967 It isn't necessary to say precise dates/months/etc in the lead, just the year is fine.
an acoustic song on the duo's debut LP—was overdubbed with electric guitar and drums Let's not get into the weeds with explaining overdubs and edits and individual songs in the lead. This belongs in the lead of the Sound of Silence article.
two short acoustic versions of "Mrs. Robinson" Again, too much focus on individual songs when this should be a broad overview of S&G's entire career + impact
Most of this: Across 16 consecutive weeks between April and July 1968 the film's soundtrack album and the duo's next studio LP, Bookends (April 1968)—featuring the hit version of "Mrs. Robinson"—alternated at number one on Billboard's Top 200 ... devotes too much attention to specifics with dates and data that can be more generally summarised.
Per WP:INTRO, Editors should avoid lengthy paragraphs and overly specific descriptions – greater detail is saved for the body of the article. Popcornfud (talk) 12:02, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

I'm completely with you. -- Steue (talk) 00:19, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

More than 40 years ago I've heard or read (in Germany) that one of them shall have complained that their names got pronounced English, but he (they both??) wanted them to be pronounced German (the original way). Does any one else remember this? Perplexity.ai couldn't find any reference (no wonder: more than 40 years). And the given Website simonandgarfunkel.com doesn't have a feed back link. I don't have an e-mail account and I'm not in the social media, but could someone ask them? They're still alive. -- Steue (talk) 00:13, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
