thread_title:  Theres another album... 

message: Just removed this from "Criticisms": "The claim that Keane is/was imitating Coldplay is false, due to Coldplay opening up for Keane during the early years of their careers. In Keane's film "Strangers", they show footage of Keane performing a concert with Coldplay as the opening act." I removed it for a couple of reasons. Mainly because it appears to be original research (though if it can be cited then put it back in). Also because it's not logical: just because Coldplay opened for Keane doesn't necessarily mean that Keane didn't imitate Coldplay. I'm not saying that Keane imitated Coldplay, just that the logic used in the above doesn't make sense. In any case, it's unlikely that Keane and Coldplay didn't influence each other's styles, given that they played together. People worry too much about their favourite bands being accused of being unoriginal and it's unrealistic; anyone who's played music knows that you can't help but be influenced by musicians that you play with.

thread_title:  Removed what appeared to be original research 

message: How the hell are this band "Alternative " rock if groups like Keane and Coldplay or Oasis  are alternative Who is NOT alternative - the whole (I should imagine cluelessly invented American) term is completely meaningless!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.155.96.108 (talk) 07:01, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, but it shows the feuds that some bands have. It's handy to know that the "three twats" have just knocked Oasis off the top of the album charts... Dave (talk) 20:51, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism 

message: The linear notes of their Perfect Symmetry album credit Jesse Quin as being an official member of Keane, which is why I'd added him to the members list at the top of the page (before being removed). Unless anyone can prove otherwise, I believe that he should be added to that list.  Beanochris (talk) 20:53, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Check the band's biography at their page, just renewed this week. Three members only. Also, the booklet on the album shows sculptures of Tim, Tom and Richard, but not Jesse's.--Fluence (talk) 03:09, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I Improved wrapping per WP:NOWRAP# +  +  in the Singles cell, so that wrapping will work in all browsers and that cell contents would not occasionally overlap the cell border. -Mardus (talk) 07:04, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Template:Keane]] 

message: There is a new release, or actually four, from the early Keane. It surprises me that someone took off "Their original line-up included founder and guitarist Dominic Scott, who left in 2001." as Dominic Scott was the founder and the band really wants to forget that. Sometimes it is a shame to watch history re-written.
The releases are available at Amazon US and UK as well as VideoSeconds.com
Do I put the URLS for Amazons or online stores?
The label releasing them is here:
Dominic Scott's Keane Band Bull and Gate Concerts and UK Collector Series - Keane Farewell to Dominic Scott Live Aug 9, 2001

thread_title:  New Video Release 

message: None of the album pages have reviews. I went through the history and it looks as if the reviews were once a part of the pages, but were buried due to a user who disagreed with their content.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.148.112.2 (talk) 15:55, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia is supposed to have a NPOV. Adding reviews by critics pretty much contradicts that. I've never understood why is that needed. One looks for information about the album's release, the album's contents and maybe what it means to the artist, not what a bunch of so-called "experts" think about it.--Fluence (talk) 04:52, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  That infographic at bottom 

message: In the list of members it says that Tim Rice-Oxley and Richard Hughes have been members since 1997, but in the timeline just below it says they were in the band already in 1995. I stumbled into this band just a couple of days ago, so I have no earlier knowledge with which to deem these data. But someone else could probably easy sort out this indifference! 92.32.219.55 (talk) 03:09, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Members 1995-1997?

message: Wikipedia's own page on BrE vs. AmE states the following:
In British English (BrE), collective nouns can take either singular (formal agreement) or plural (notional agreement) verb forms, according to whether the emphasis is on the body as a whole or on the individual members respectively; compare a committee was appointed with the committee were unable to agree.[14][15] Compare also the following lines of Elvis Costello's song "Oliver's Army": Oliver's Army is here to stay / Oliver's Army are on their way .
This would suggest that in BrE, the usage should be "Keane is" rather than "Keane are," as the focus is clearly on the band and not the members of the band ("Keane is an English rock band from Battle, East Sussex, formed in 1995").
Do tell if you disagree with this. -- JGenz (talk) 17:33, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Article uses British English. Also, bands are plural in the UK. If you look at articles of various bands and groups that are from the UK, they use "are" instead of "is". In other cases, "were" instead of "was". BTW, did you read the note? It's there for a reason. TheOnlyOne12 (talk) 16:05, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
