replies: text: I hardly think it's spamming given the wealth of information contained within the site. Besides the fact that it is a simple text link, the appears ONCE within an accepted area for external links. It happens to be the largest and oldest resource Veronicas on the internet, and it's not unfair to assume that a link to such information would remain on a page that is intended to provide information. VeronicasFans.com is far more of a resource than, say, the IMDB pages, or even the official site, as far as touring information, appearances, media, and photographs are concerned. --Adamjk 02:01, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  First music teacher 

message: Someone bought one of them a guitar for their 18th so they decided to be singer songwriters and within two years have a number one?  Does that sound .. weird to anyone else?  Can anyone elaborate on that paragraph?  It leaves a lot lacking and reads like it's taken straight from a magazine aimed at teenage girls.  You don't just get a guitar and think, "Hey, let's be a band!" and two years later get a contract.  Unless nonno is a mafia don? Or does the music industry run in the family?  Rich jewish uncle?  There's GOT to be some big connections there to get them to fame so fast, I'd love to hear them.  :) Also are they really from Sicily?  I know most Italians in showbizz love to claim it yet a minority are accurate representations.  There's a lot of us Italians out there, and there's more than one town we come from.  :P 211.30.71.59 07:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The Veronicas' cover of Scandal's 1982 song "Goodbye to You" has an interesting mistake in the lyrics. According to Scandal member Zack Smith who wrote the song, the last 4 words of the third line are "your fear to choose."
Source However, almost every internet listing of the lyrics contains the wrong words "I feel it too." The Veronicas must have gotten the lyrics off the internet, because they sing those same wrong words. Here is the youtube video of the original version by Scandal, which contains the correct lyrics.

message: Hello, whoever deleted my changes made to the Hook Me Up album, im not quite sure to your reasons on deleting these changes i made, as they are purely factual. I decided to make these changes because i was sick of coming back to wikipedia and not being able to find information on how the album was doing in the US. So i found some true facts out, and put it on myself. Also, Lisa and Jess had asked their fans to buy their album, i understand that you may believe that I was promoting, however i wasn't, i was simply stating that is what they had said. Thanks for Your time. --124.186.161.123 (talk) 11:03, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hook Me Up 

message: I changed, "and it became a massive hit in all the world" to "and it became a massive world-wide hit ."  Even with the change, it seems a bit aggrandizing.  Maybe if we had some figures like,  "and it sold 20 million copies world wide."
It was my understanding that t.A.T.u's second album didn't do so well...  And after being dropped by their record company, they were relegated to touring Europe and Japan.  (I could be wrong.)  Does this sort of thing happen to artists with current hits that are massive?  I know, the point is the J & L are great song writers, but being great doesn't always translate into music sales. 65.92.120.124 (talk) 06:40, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Does this need capitalization, an exclamation mark, or should it be there at all?!  I don't think so.  This is not that important - bands are asked for encores all the time.  I'm taking it out unless someone has a legit reason for it to be in there.

message: Wiki says that The Veronicas got their name from the Archie Comics'.  This is not true.  The Veronicas decided to name their band The Veronicas after seeing the movie "Heathers".  A girl in the movie asks "Are you a Heather?" and the charactor played by Winona Ryder responds by saying "No, I'm a Veronica".  The Archie Comics' have nothing to do with how they came up with their name.

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :The Veronicas's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
