# Talk:The Cockroaches

This article needs work.  I haven't been able to tackle it up to now, since I was busy with RL concerns and other WP articles after The Wiggles was passed to FA.  I've now put it on my To-do list.  I've noticed that some of the information, specifically the chronology of events, are incorrect.  I suspect that much of the text has been plagarized (however unintentionally) from the source listed at the end of the article.  For example, according to this article, Paul Field's daughter died of SIDS in 1988, and this article seems to state that she died during The Cockroaches' 1999 national tour.  So like I said, this needs work, and I intend to get to it, unless some other soul wants to tackle it.  However, it seems that I'm only individual in the WP-world interested in seriously editing Wiggles-related articles, so it'll probably be me.  (Not that I mind.)  Just not right now, but hopefully soon. --Figureskatingfan (talk) 05:29, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

If I ever get around to doing the above, this would be a good reference to use: [1]  It's a speech given by Paul Field about the business practices of The Wiggles, but it has some good info about The Cockroaches. --Christine (talk) 15:53, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
I found this article too which mentions "They were on tour in Queensland on September 2, 1988 - a date they will never forget." so it seems to be a combination of both. Kathodonnell (talk) 06:33, 23 February 2011 (UTC) 
I'm familiar with that article; it's a source in The Wiggles and other related articles here.  I recommend culling some of the sources in those articles for sources for this one.  Some of them are very helpful, especially the ones about the pre-history and early history about The Wiggles, and Paul's involvement. Christine (talk) 13:15, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm finally getting around to rewriting/improving this article.  I'm mostly unemployed this summer, so I have the time.  Plus, the publications of Anthony Field's book has helped; the information in it has provided us with what's been needed to make this article more comprehensive.  It's brought up a question for me, though: When referring to Anthony, do we call him "Anthony" as he's called as a part of The Wiggles, or do we call him "Tony", as he's listed on The Cockroaches' albums?  For now, since the book is post-Wiggles, I call him "Anthony" until there's consensus amongst the editing community surrounding The Wiggles articles.
